CHATTY LETTER FROM CON
TINENTAL METROPOLIS
OTHER NEWS.
XEW YORK, Fcb.3. With scores
of nerve-racked actors in the sea
traeedv off Nantucket Island still
housed everywhere about town all
New York is today buzzing with the
aftermath of its greatest sensation in
years. In the retirement of every
hotel on this island the still bewilder
ed passengers of the Republic and the
Florida are surrounded by friends
and family half crazed with anxiety
and joy. The heart of the metropolis
which hung in sickly suspense over
the sea wall for a day and a night, is
now beating hard with the reflex joy
of taking to itself these scores of
human beings whom only the tele
graphy of the sky sparks drew back
from the brink of eternity. In the
new man-harbor of the American Sea
men.s Friend Society a hundred rug
ged tars are today assembled from
the crews of both colliding liners,
while the kits and clothes which
they sadly lack are being furnished
them by friends of the Society. To
most of these seafarers there is noth-

. SHUTTING STJOHN'S.
While only a few hours remain
before the quaint old chapel of St
Johns's is to be forever sealed to its
worshippers by the trustees of Trini
ty and its sacred site devoted to more
lucrative commercial uses, public in
dignation against this act is to-day
running high. Straight as the spire
of the little house of worship, this in
cident has pointed out the business
dealing of this group of churchmen
for all New York to see. Though a
few thousands may be saved and
made by this shrewd step in finance
it is prophesied that it will take many
years and much expenditure of money
on its tensment holdings to again
restore the Trinity corporation to its
former standing with the whole peo
ple. Meanwhile the first of February
will mark the loss of many old and
dear associations for hundreds of
parishioners who suffer because to
certain minds skyscraper tenements
pay better.
OUTDOOR OPERA.
Never in his career has Oscar
Hammcrstein offered a better comic
opera attraction than the spectacular
street brawl in which he has seen fit
to engage with a belligerent crowd
of newspaper men here. To-day the
final act in court has yet to be pro
duced, though an amused audience is
eagerly waiting for the next outbreak
of fuss and fisticuffs. Though the
impresario's insult to some working
members of the paper.s staff is really
resented by every right minded man
in town, the public has taken the en
suing engagements with little serious
ness or sympathy. Park Row was
never wont to notice or seek to meet
such slurs with rough house tactics
and newspaper men in general regret
this squabble in which some of their
number have seen fit to engage. An
army of clean, decent workers upon
the papers here to-day are disapprov
ing Hammerstein's mud slinging by
their daily actions without the use of
fists or epithets.
TAFT TO TEE.
Every man in town who swings a
brassie is today hailing the announce
ment that President-elect Taft has
accepted honorable membership in
in one of the golf clubs down on Stat
en Island. While the golfers of the
Fox Hills have stolen a march on
thousands of their brethern through
out the metropolis in this coralling
Big Bill as a clubmate, it is not be
lieved that they will long retain ex
clusively this honor. On every links
about Manhattan. Island, to-day the
speedy acquisition of the distinguish
ed exponent of the game is being
meditated and ways and means dis
cussed. Taft may tread scores of mi
les of golf greens and scale thous
ands of hazards hereabouts as a pre
mier member if he will but say the
word. The, rotund President-elect
bids fair tq popularize the game of
Scots in the city in spite of the. fact
of John. D. Rockefeller's devotion to
it. J
DR. ADi SATISFIED

HER FAMOUS BILL PASSES THE
SENATE AND IS NOW BE
FORE THE HOUSE.
The following chcenul letter has
just been received from Dr. B. Owen
Adair, of this county, with regard to
her bill, now one of the famous pro
vision before the Oregon Legists
ture.
It is a substitute for her original
measure, and to the casual reader
seems to have been shorn
of all its essential strength; but if
the good doctor is satisfied with this,
as an "opening wedge" as she calls it,
then no one else may justly complain
of it. It is Senate substitute bill No.
68, and is now before the House of
Reoresentatives. Her letter is as
follows: '
"Salem, Or- Feb. 1, 1909.
"Editor Astorian:
"With great pleasure I now send
you s copy of my bill which, has just
passed the Senate by two-thirds ma
jority. I cannot express my 'great
satisfaction for this victory, and I
have fine hope of success in the
House. One of the members of the
House said: 'I hope we may pass it
with at least 48 votes.'
"This is a substitute for my first
bill, at my own request, for I found
that it would be impossible to pass
the first bill. .The Oregonian says
the committee spoiled the bill by
amending it. Hut there I a great deal
(n this bill, and it will be nit opening
wedge for many improvements, if it
becomes a law. I shall stay here till
I know the fale of the bill; then off
to Olympia.
"I visited the O. A. College last
Saturday with the member! of the
Legislature. winch commits me
opinion which I have had for many
years that is, that an agriculture col
lege is of far more worth to any State,
than a university.
PR. OVVEKS-ADAIR.
Following is the amended text of
the measure as it passed the Senate!
"A Bill
"For an act entitled an act to pre
vent procreation of confirmed crim
inals, insane persons, idiots, imbeciles,
and rapists; providing that superin
undents and board of managers of
institutions where such persons are
confined shall have the authority and
are empowered to appoint a commit
tee of experts, consisting of two (2)
physicians, to examine into the men
4al condition of such Inmates, and to
define who shall be deemed confirmed
criminals wilhin the provisions of
this act.
Re it enacted by the people of
the State of Oregon: " "' "
Be it enacted by the Legislative
Assembly of the State of Oregon:
"Section 1. From and after the
passage of this act it shall be com
pulsory for each and every institution
in the State entrusted with the care
of confirmed criminals, Insane per
sons, idiots, rapists and imbeciles, to
appoint upon its staff, In addition to
the regular Institutional physicians,
two (2) skilled surgeons of recogniied
ability, whose duty It shall be, in con
junction with the chief physieian of
the institution, to examine the mental
and nhvsical condition of such i
males as are recommended by the in
stitutional physician and board
managers. If, in the judgment of this
committee of experts and the board
of managers, procreation is Inadvis
able and there is no probability of Im
provement of the menial condition of
the inmate, it shall be lawful for the
surgeons to perform such operation
for the prevention of procreation as
shall be decided safest and most ef
fective; but this operation shall not
be performed except in cases that
have been pronounced unimprovable
, "The term "confirmed criminals,"
as contained, in this act. shall be
deemed to apply to and Include all
persons serving a third lerm in any
penitentiary or penal institution upon
conviction of a felony."

WORK FOR WEALTHY.
No budding millionaire has stepped
forward to accept Judge Finn's offer
of appointment as his unsalaried pro
bation officer since young Jay Gould
was squelched by a stern parent in
volunteering , his, services. Though
this ambitious stripling of the House
of Gould had been quoted as enthusi
astically offering to take the dis
agreeable duties of this police court
post for shrewd old "Battery Dan"
Finn, his father has managed to keep
him out of reach of reporters ever
since and it is, believed to-day that
the judge will have to look elsewhere
for a volunteer. The Vandcrbilt boys
have been suggested; but their previ
ous engagements in the horse show
ring render assistance from this quar
ter hopeless. After all, the . public
here would really relish the sight of a
young heir doing something worth
while. , . ...

A GRISLY SPECTACLE.
NEW YORK- Feb. 3.-Passengers
in the Pennsylvania Railroad station
at Jersey City were horrified last
night to see the head of a man lodged
on the cowcatcher of a locomotive
as it drew into the depot. Employes of
the railroad, seeing that there had
been a tragedy, had the head, togeth
er with few scraps of clothing remov
ed to the morgue and an investiga
tion was begun. It develped that the
victim was W. Weber, general fore
man of a grain company, who had
been struck at Railway, N. J-, early in
the evening. His mangled body was
picked up near the scene of the ac
cident, but the head, it was noticed
had been carried into the station at
Jersey City.
