EMPLOYERS ARE ARBITRARY When Carpenters Showed Up for Work Three Hours After the Time Set, They Found Jobs VerUoue. New York, July 19. All carpenters employed here by the Master Carpen ers" Association have been locked out by order of the board of governors of the Building .Trades Employers' As- anoiatlon. The lockout ties up the carpenter work on every large build ing In the borough and involves be tween Ave thousand and six thousand men. ' " This Is the first time since the ac ceptance several months ago of the ar bitratlon agreement of the Building Trades Employers' Association that there has been a general lockout of any kind. The carpenters locked out belong to the Brotherhood of Carpen ters and the trouble Is owing to the violation of the arbitration agreement by the carpenters striking on a con tract held by one firm holding mem bership In the Master Carpenters' As sociation. The trouble was about the handling of non-union wood. Twelve men struck on the building about six weeks ago. The men were ordered to return to work pending a settlement and did so, but more men were required as the work progressed, and there was more friction, which ended in another strike. The men were ordered to return to work a second time, but only the' 12 . men who originally struck returned to work. The board of governors of the the employers' association met again and gave the carpenters a fixed time in which to return. The carpenters went to work three hours after the time set but the lockout was enforced. much to their astonishment. HOW SENATOR CLARK WOOED AND WON HIS FAIR BRIDE Miss LaChappelle Went to Him for Assistance to Complete Her Edu I cation and Won His Heart. Helena, Mont, July 19. Hidden In the announcement of the wedding of Senator W. A. Clark to Miss Anna La- Chappelle three years ago a t Mar seilles, France, lies a pretty romance wherein a poor, struggling girl has been elevated to a position of com manding wealth of almost fabulous proportions. The real facts concerning the first meeting of Senator Clark and Miss LaChappelle have never appeared In print, and are about as follows: About nine years ago a little golden-haired girl of prepossessing ap pearance walked into the banking house of James A. Murray of Butte and without much ceremony asked Mr. Murray to bear the expense of her education, adding that he was wealthy, and that she was desirous of acquiring an education at his expense, an expense that would be Infinitesimal to him. At that time Anna LaChap pelle possessed an ambition to become an actress, feeling confident from the manner in which she had acquitted herself Ir a number of local entertain ments in which she had participated that she could attain histronic honors. Mr. Murray had never heard of her, so declined the young lady's invitation to help her. He recommended her, however, to Mr. Clark, saying that Mr. Clark had plenty of money and would undoubtedly help her along the road she desired to travel. Miss LaChappelle then asked Mr. Murray to Introduce her to Mr. Clark, and he declined, saying that such a move would result In a refusal to help her. He told her to, go to Mr. Clark the same as she had come to him and lay her case before him. There the meeting ended, and the fact that Mr. Clark and the girl became acquainted shortly afterward indicates that Miss LaChappelle followed the advice given her by Mr. Murray and that Mr. Clark consented to help her. The senator's Infatuation for his charming girl wife is almost without measure, and his gifts to her are worthy of a queen. The Montana multi-millionaire has fairly showered countless Jewels of rare value upon the object of his love. Works of art and rugs of unbelievable values adorn her palace. When Miss LaChappelle took up the study of the harp the senator made her a present of an instrument worth 16.000. Her gowns outshone all in splendor, and she was the envy of all the belles of Montana when she would trip a fancy dance to please the senator and his friends at the ban quets and entertainments at the Clark mansion in Butte. Senator Clark has built a mansion for the LaChappelle family on Park street In Butte, a deed being on record In the archives of Silver Bow county showing the transfer of the property from Senator Clark to Mrs. LaChap pelle for a consideration of $1. Sen ator Clark Is now busily engaged In making a broker out of Arthur La Chapnelle, a brother-in-law, whom he has placed in business in Mlnneapo lis. FRANCE NOT DISTURBED. Will Not Send Troops . to China Quell Disturbance. to Pekin. July 19. noon. The rumors that the French have threatened to send troops to Kwangsl In connection with the disturbances are unfounded. The French legation emphatically re pudiates the idea. The trouble, serious from the Chinese point of view, causes no uneasiness to the French, the disturbance being in the northern portion of the province and not near French territory. , New Regulations for Theater.

Oregon's fruit prospects, excepting one or two varieties were never net' ter than at the present time, according to George Lambertson, secretary of the state board of horticulture. Sec retary Lamberson says the apple crop will be 100 per cent, or a full crop in almost every part of the state where apples are grown. This is particularly true of the southern Oregon commer cial orchards, where there will be an Immense yield of apples of first-class varieties and first class in quality. About the only failure chronicled in the state is the prune crop, which will be a failure in almost every sense of the word Where there was a yield of 30,000,000 pounds last year, this year there will be barely 5,000,000 pounds marketable. This is the re sult of cold rains during the latter part of spring, when warm weather was needed. The prunes on the high lands did not suffer much, but as near ly all of Oregons prune trees are plant ed in the lowlands, the damage was almost beyond estimate. Nearly all small fruits this year will be or have been of exceptional good quality and quantity. The cherry crop so far has ben heavy and of good quality also. A good crop of pears will also be available this year. In all orchards this year there is a marked absence of pests such as have been the bane of the Oregon orchard Ist at times. The absence of fungus In the Willamette valley is probably , the most noticeable. This is attributed to the dry weather preceding the last spell of showers. Wet weather is es sential to the propagation of fungus. WAS SOLD TO J. P. MORGAN American Financier Now Owns Ancient Cope That Vatican Would Recover. JAY TUTTLE, M. D.

STOLEN FROM CATHEDRAL Lonsr Search for It Proved Uu suceessftil Until Morjrnn Wan Found to Have Obtained Possession of It. New York, July 19. It Is stated In a special dispatch from Rome, says the London correspondent of the Herald, that the pope has commissioned Card! nal Vannutelll, who, Is about to visit Ireland to try to obtain from J. Pier pont Morgan, the. priceless ancient cope which was stolen In 1902 from the cathedral of Ascoli. The cope mysteriously disappeared while repairs were being made to the cathedral and though the government took measures for Its recovery, they were unsuccessful. It now transpires that the cope was sold to Mr. Morgan, who has loaned It to the South Ken sington museum, where it Is at present In view. The cope Is a beautifully em broidered piece of work done in France In the thirteenth century. It was presented to the Ascoli cathe dral by Nicholas IV. The entire ground is of gold thread, on which are worked IS exquisite panels of re llglous subjects. , The museum author itles believe that the cope is of Eng llsh, not of French workmanship. Thought the Guard Wax. Recently one of Mexico's young so clety misses was attending the Louis iana Purchase exposition and, while walking In the Transportation build lng, saw a figure all clothed In khaki standing stiffly beside an exhibit," the Mexico Ledger relates.' "She turned to the party accompanying her and said: "What an excellent likeness of a Jefferson guard, It looks almost nat ural,' and with the utterance of the last remark still on her togue she gave the figure a resounding slap on the shoulder with her fist Probably no one will ever again see such a sur prised wax figure; the shock was such that it turned around and with as tounded expression on its erstwhile mobile features, exclaimed: Ueg par don.' Athletic journals state that Ar thur Duffy holds the record for the hundred yard dash, but Judging from the manner in which the Mexico girl left the figure he doesn't know what speed Is." Kansas City Journal. Night Was Her Terror. A case came to light that for per slstent and unmerciful torture has per haps never been equaled. Joe Golo- blck, of Colusa, Calif., writes: Tor years I endured Insufferable pain from rheumatism and nothing reliev ed me though I tried everything known came across Electric Bitters and It's the greatest medicine on earth for that trouble.
