Is just pure Mocha and Java
prepared in a new way. The cof
fee berry is cut up (not ground)
by knives of almost razor sharp
ness into small uniform particles.
Thus it is not crushed, as by the
old method of grinding, and the
little oil cells remain unbroken.
The essential oil (food product)
cannot evaporate and is preserved
indefinitely. This is one reason
why a pound of Barrington Hall
will make IS to 20 cups more of
full strength coffee than will any
coffee ground the old way; why
it excels all other coffee in flavor
and why it. will keep perfectly
until used. '
But the main thing about Barr
ington Hall Coffee is that it can
be used without ill effect by those
who find ordinary coffee injures
them, because the yellow tannin
bearing skin and dust (the only
injurious properties of coffee) are
removed by the "steel-cut" pro
cess. A delicious coffee sot a
tasteless substitute.

WATER COMMISSION
SPECIAL MEETING
FOUR MEMBERS PRESENT
THREE ABSENT ENGAGED A
HYDRAULIC ENGINEER TO
GO OVER RECENT SURVEY OF
FAT BUCK CREEK.
The water commission held a spec
ial meeting yesterday afternoon with
Chairman Wright in the chair, and
Messrs. Bowlby, Fisher and Brix
and Messrs. Elmore, Van Dusen and
Trenchard absent.
The commission decided to employ
Mr. J. G. Kelley, a hydraulic engineer
of Portland to go over the prelimi
nary survey recently made by Gelo
Parker to look into the best way of
connecting the waters of pat Buck
Creek with Bear Creek with a view to
increasing the water supply of the
city.
An ordinance was made to employ
James Hanson to give Reservoir No.
2 a coat of asphalt as soon as the
weather and other conditions are
favorable.
DESPERATE ACCIDENT
(Continued from page 1)
clear of the line of the rock emplace
ment. It is conceded that with time
and apparatus the valuable device
can be raised to the jetty level and
put to work again after minor repairs
have been made.
. In all the 20 years that have been
devoted to this big project this is
the gravest accident that has been
recorded; but two lives having been
sacrificed there before in that' time;
an engineer who went over the jetty
side with his engine some 10 years
ago; and the drowning of another
man since then. This is a remarkable
record for an enterprise whose every
phase of action and line of duty,
presents a danger constantly. And
sad as this chronicle is, might, consid
ering the desperate nature of the mis
hap, have been infinitely worse. The
Morning Astorian joins with the en
tire community of Clatsop in the deep
sense of sorrow felt everywhere for
the sufferers in mind and body from
the untoward disaster.
OUTSIDE TALENT
(Continued from page 1)
those received by members of Con
gress. There are many other expen
ses attached to such organizations
and they are usually larger than the
cost of preparing legislation in the
ordinary channels. It was pointed out
today that little has been accomplish
ed by the large number of commis
sions created to suggest legislation
although one notable exception was
that which prepared the preliminary
draft of the gold standard law.
MISSOURI
SOCIETY
Bryan Speaks to the Society
, a Late Hour ;
at
EXTOLS THE SIMPLE LIFE
He Said "God Made Man and it is
Not to be Disregarded in the Man
Made Giant, the Corporation Man
Made Corporation to Make Money.
NEW YORK, April 22. It was
half past 1 this morning when Wil
liam J. Bryan reached the Grand
Hotel where he was scheduled to
speak to the Missouri Society.
In opening his speech he said he
was glad so many Missourians had
come to New York, as he knew they
had carried with them the ideals of
the Western state. Continuing he
said:
'The strength of the nation is in
the Missouri life, the simple life .of
the country more than the complex
life of the city. The strength of our
life must not be lost in refinement of
life. I am one who believes that the
vested interests are safe in the
hands of the people of the country
and that no honest industry need be
alarmed over a law that may be pass
ed. The patience the people of this
country have shown under extortion
and unjust laws ought to be sufficient
to show that they can be trusted
We have a lesson to learn in this
country and an important one that
God made man and it is not to be
disregarded in the worship of the
man-made giant, the corporation.
Man made the corporation to make
money. God in making man made the
tallest man a little taller than the
shortest, the strongest man but little
strongest than the weakest, and God
put a limit on his age so that a bad
man could not be bad long. Man
made the corporations a thousand
times greater, an,d raised a limit on
the age, so thai soirie would make
them perpetual. This man made
giant has lobbyists in every capital of
the country. Its favorites have de
bauched society, demoralizing its
oossessors while it robbed its victims
"The panic which recently spread
over this country, I think, is almost
entirely due to the fact that we have
had a riot for the past 10 years
Gigantic corporations with fictitious
capital demoralized the business of
the nation, and when investigations
came the cry was raised 'Stop or all
business will be ruined.'
A theatre party attended by many
members of the Society .preceded the
supper. Col. Henry Watterson also
spoke.
LICENSE CATS.
Advocating Licensing Cats in Jersey
City.
NEW YORK; April 22 Alderman
Wm. C. Herbert is advocating an or
dinance before the Jersey City board
of aldermen providing that a license
fee of 1 a year be charged for cats,
that they be tagged and that unlK
censed cats be collected the same as
dogs. The ordinance was laid over
for 90 days, when it will come up for
final reading.'
"I present tlfis ordinance in all sin
cerity," said Mr. Herbert- "I think
it is a wise provision for the city and
the cats. Moving time is drawing
near when people change their homes
and leave their cats behind to starve
and suffer."
Alderman Herbert received the fol
lowing note:
"You have very little to do it seems,
if you cannot get busy on anything
else besides cats. Move if you don't
like the noise."
UNDER THE HAMMER.
NEW YORK, April 22. Mrs Car
ter's kitchen utensils fetched $100 at
auction yesterday. Antiques and
wearing apparel belonging to the act
ress were on exhibition and will be
sold by order of her receiver in bank
ruptcy, Ezra P. Prentiss, every after
noon this week.
The household goods went quickly
and at low prices. A crowd of women
many of them professional colleagues
of Mrs.. Carter, 'passed through the
exhibition room, commenting upon
her possessions. Only the least val
uable of Mrs. Carter's things were
put up yesterday. Her wash wringer
brought $1.25 although, its working
days are over. The buyer says she
will keep it in a cabinet as a memento
the actress. A lot marke "two bot
tles" brought five cents - ,
STANFORD UNIVERSITY.
Is Once Again in the Limelight of
Publicity.
STANFORD UNIVERISTY, Apr.
22. Considerable mystery surrounds
the exhuming by unknown persons of
a steel casket containing the body of
a woman, buried, apparently, for
many years in a little grave yard on
the Stanford campus.
The reason for the desecration of
the grave and the identity of the de
ceased remains a mystery. Before
Stanford University was found an ce
centrick Frenchman, Peter Coutts,
made his home on the Stanford es
tate. This man was a political exile
from his native land. He apparently
had plenty of money and he used
strange and unusual means of getting
rid of it. The name iof the romantic
Frenchman has been connected with
the strange woman in the steel coffin,
although it is said there is hardly any
tangible reason.
The old inhabitants of Falo Alto
furnish another explanation: the orig
inal owner of the San Francisco ranch
is reported to have buried his wealth
on the burial ground on the Stanford
campus., and they believe the boif)
is that of a woman named Mr. Hcagh.
TO CLEAR HERSELF.
Wants New Trial of Man Who Mur
dered Her Family.
CHICAGO, April 22. Mrs. Emma
Vozal Niemann today will appeal to
Governor Deneen to grant a pardon
to Hermann Bileek that he may be
tried , again. She will ask' that the
convicted murderer of her family be
spared from the gallows so that the
alleged new evidence connecting her
with the case may be thoroughly
sifted and her innocence fully estab
lished. Insinuations against her mad? by
the fighting 'fo- Bileck's life have
aroused her to the fighting pitch. She
believes "ilcik killed her father and
mother and four sisters and de
nounces him as the!r murderer hut if
he is hanged now and no opportunity
is given to weigh. the charges involv
ing her she may have no other chance
to clear herself.
IMPORTERS INTERESTED.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-A bill
amendatory to the Administrative
customs act and of much importance
to importers was passed by the house
yesterday. In effect the bill practical
ly constitutes the board , of general
appraisers at New York, trial court
in the matter of classification of duti
able goods and compels the importer
or the government to make its case
before the entire board. The bill sub
stitutes the circuit court of appeals
for the circuit court for the purpose
of appeal from the board and also
fixes the tenure of office of the gen
eral appraisers by providing for re
moval only for cause and after due
inquiry.

decided that at a Weting of the cham
ber of commerce that the merchants

ders and making sure before the close
of tire present season of sufficient
freight for the direct steamship lines
from San Francisco to Alaskan ports
for the next season.
WARM ELECTION.
MANCHESTER. England, April
22-The furious election fight that
as been waging here has brought
forth two weighty pledges from the
Liberal ministers. The first of these
was Winston Spencer Churchill's
Home Rule pronouncement and to
night David Lloyd George offered to
bet his opponents that the old age
pension scheme would be established
in a year. ' .
TESTIMONY OF ROSS.
PORTLAND, April 22.-J. Thor
burn Ross, the President of the de
funct Title, Guarantee & Trust Co.,
of Portland, testified in his own be
half today and was the last witness
offered by the defense in the trial of
the charge against Ross and his fel
low officials of conversiom of the
state funds.' Ross maintained that
the state money was not in the nature
of a loan, but was placed in his bank
as a deposit. On cross examination
Ross denied that he had personally
received any of the state's money. The
arguments will be made tomorrow
and it is the expectation now that the
case will go to the jury in the after
noon. I

i
VANCOUVER, B. C, April 22.
The gasoline fishing schooner Clara
C, of Tacoma, blew up off Cape
Scott on Sunday and the crew of 11
men had barely time to escape. The
schooner took fire in ' an unknown
manner at 9 o'clock in the evening
and for a short time the men fought
unavailingly like demons. They
took to the boats and when but a
short distance away the tanks explod
ed ami the craft went down. The
shipwrecked men had to row to Scar
let Point Lighthouse, 50 miles distant
for food and shelter. They arrived
late on Monday night. The next day
they were picked up by the halibut
schooner Celestial Empire and re
turned to Vancouver.
VETO THREATENED.
President Very Much in Earnest
About Navy Appropriation Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 21-Presi-dent
Roosevelt will veto the appro
priation bill, should the senate, as did
the House, fail to make in appropria
tion for the two battleships which
arc authorized in the measure. The
prompt announcement of this fact to
the senate leader's today is regarded
as responsible for the announcement
by Hale that he would propose an
amendment appropriation $7,000,000
toward the construction of these
ships. The President stated his posi
tion on this point with unusual em
phasis and suddenness today, upon
learning that the bill as passed by the
house was simply a "paper" provision
for the naval increase. The authoriza
tion of the ships was made but no
money appropriation was carried to
make the provision effective. Such
legislation as this, the President
made known to his numerous con
gressional callers, was a travesty as
to its effectiveness as well as bearing
all the earmarks of legislative leger
demain intended to make ridiculous
his campaign for a greater navy.
That the President's quick and vig
orous action is to be effective is
evidenced by the action of Hale. As
to his threat to veto this bill the
President made it plain should the
wisdom of Congress result in the pas
sage of a bill providing for no naval
increase whatever, he would have no
ground upon which to veto the
measure. Any attempt at which he
regards as a travesty on legislation
by authorization and not appropriat
ing for ships he declares he will de
feat by the cxcrcUc of his constitu
tional power to veto. There is not
the slightest indication that the Presi
dent has ceased to fight for four new
battleships, according to the evidence
of the Senators who talked with him
today. The Senators who arc with
the President in his fight on this prop
osition admit that a careful survey of
the strength in the senate gives but
one vote of 20 in that body in favor
of the President's program for the
naval increase.
Significance is attached to this poll
of the senate in that it is said to show
a loss to the President of-some of his
heretofore staunchest supporters in
that body. Lodge is understood to
have quit the fight for a full naval
program advocated by the President
ancK to have given his reasons per
sonally to the President for so do
ing. The loss of the influence of the
Massachusetts Senator is regarded as
responsible for the weakness shown by
the poll as it is believed that had the
President's senatorial supporters en
tered the fight with the vigor he had
evidenced it by his desirehis wishes
in this direction mght have been real
ized.
LIBLE SUIT.
MUNICH, April 22.-A libel suit

viction of Herr Sta(Jcl, editor of the
