' May Tots hat let the cat out of ths bag. She Has acknowledged that she came to Portland to establish a resi dence, that she might shuffle off that mortal coil of names, Lady Hope, Mrs. Captain Putnam Bradlee Strong, Mrs. M. Bachellor f New Ydrk and last but not least plain May Yohe. .?'.. It all happened at Ban Francisco, and it was'all due to a 3,000 ermine coat The once brilliant and chio Stage fa vorite sat In a box at the Orpheum, and every woman In the house had her eyes - on that bunch of expensive furs to the discomfort of the actors and the actoreena. May Xalrly scintillated: she was the bright particular star of the evening. '- -!- ' Some one recognised the elegantly dressed woman as May Tohe, etc., etc., late of Portland, or.- May Tohe, who Is enraged to a lord who resides in British Columbia, and who will soon count her fortune in the millions. A rude re porter approached her and this is what , she eald: : - "Tea, I am registered as Mrs. Bach eIler,of New York; I am stopping at a local' hot el. Bacheller is my mother's maiden name,", explained the former Lady Hope. "I didn't wish to be known. I lived so quietly and peacefully in Portland for months till that recent newspaper, publicity, and then I left. Was I trying to establish a residence there to secure a divorce from Captain Strong? Well, what of it? . "I am-on my way now for a trip round the world. I was to have sailed from Victoria, .but my mother sent this coat out to me, and to save the duty on hav ing It come to Canada I came down here. 80 I am going to start from here in a week, go to Honolulu, Yokohama, Shanghai, Hongkong, the South Sea is lands. Auckland and the principal cities of Australia, probably appearing with a vaudeville company from here. I will show if I can; the money's ss good to me' as to other people, though -I have some now. People don't come to hear me sing; just to' sea the woman that had the Hope Jewels. "I don't know, where Captain Strong is, and I don't care.

Salem, Nov. l.-It la the assertion of the Statement No. 1 members of the legislature in Marlon county that the continued wrangling In certain quarters " is serving to further entrench the State ment No. 1 legislators in their position. -' It is also declared that though they nciv viiv, wining bv iiiiu miuvu, with , the other Republican - members, ' the people's choice legislators have now about agreed with the members from Multnomah county to refuse- to go into the caucus, thus making It possible to organise both houses on strictly, State ment No. 1 lines. "It is only widening the breach be , tween the two factions," said Repre- - sentative Llbby, speaking of the attack made upon the Statement No. 1 mem bers, "and the Inevitable result will be ; that the legislature will be organised - by Statement No. 1 and independent " members." - Representative Hughes of Marion county, who was elected on the Repub lican voters' choice pledge,- will vote for Cake, aa he regards that pledge binding. He does not say, however, that he will continue to vote for Cake after the first ballot, for he did not so prom ise the electors when he took the Repub lican voters' choice pledge. Hal D. Pat ton, the leading Statement No. 1 legislator In the county, is de termined. He says: "The first principle I learned and that to keep one's pledges. ' The record ef President-elect William Howard Taft reveals the fact that whether -he was federal Judge, governor of the Philip pines or secretary of war, he kept 'his pledges to his party and to the admin istration." v . ' i Mr, Patton has not given no his cam- ?algn for speaker, and in view of the act that negotiations are under way to - organise the -legislature so that It may be kept in the hands of the people's choice members, he believes his chances are good for landing the position. -.

Victor Emanuel, of Italy Holds That IJniue Distinction As His Income Is $1, 200000. a Year, How-, , ever, It Uny Notv Seem Surprising. ,v , (From a Staff Correspondent) .. Rome, Oct 22. King Victor Eman uel stand unique as the one sovereign In the world who has sever had a debt More remarkable still, he , was -practically free from debt as crown prince, when . his finances were anything but florid. ,' " - The Italian civil, list amounts to the very . respectable sum . of ',$1,200,000 yearly, but the king's 4 expense are enormous: He bands over 'every year $400,000 - to his mother, he keeps up from eight to ten palaces and estates, which came to him from the dispos sessed Italian rulers, and he Is paying oft the debt of an extravagant father, and still more so grandfather. When he came to the throne ne found that there were many large debts, on which , very high interest was being paid, of the great Victor Emanuel, a king in the old style, without, thought where spending, women,- and feasting were concerned, but-a hero for courage and love of country. -. King Humbert was more restrained in his pleasures, but thought that a king should be a king all tn rough, and not look at the pennies. Thus when his son came td the throne he ' found , a . sad . state of financial chaos. ,.y . .; A. .. V -- fv'.::t V - rabllo Tiews .' v'; vVlctor Emanuel's public point of view, curiously enough, is that of his subjects, that while the country is poor her sovereign should pay the personal family debts, and his private view is that a sovereign lowers his own dig nity and that of his subjects if he runs into money difficulties, and is obliged to pawn his Jewels, for example, , He, therefore, v looked about him for the best way- to raise money and came to the conclusion that the bourgeoisie way is the best, i. e., to cut down expenses. What- a day that was at court! When he had expounded his plans to the minister of the royal house,, that functionary -went about- with his eyes half out of his head with astonishment and Is even said to : have been seen wringing his hands and praying for a return of the good old days! There was great astonishment,' not only in Italy but abroad, when the; young sov ereign, with over , a million dollars in come, sold nearly a f hundred horses which had been eating their heads off at the Quirinal palace, only -keeping tnose strictly necessary for royal use. At the same time two or threo cooks were got rid of. ' : Today the queen'e clothing while atill of the best quality is not bought re gardless of the price, as was the case with Queen Marguerite., Furthermore, Queen Elena's gowns and hats are seen quite three times, if not more by the public, and entertaining at the palace Is restricted to two balls a year, the nec essary state -dinners and such indis pensable functions. Despite the house hold economies foreign sovereigns who have visited the Qulninal declare that they have entertained as well, if not bet ter, than at any other court. , S.o Mot Thank Xlm. '. King Victor, ' Emanuel's subjects - do not thank him for his care of the na tional exchequer. Quite the contrary. They complain of what they call his "parsimony," say he is not a king but a gentleman farmer, go so far as to call im the "miser," and hint that . he is saving his money and putting it safely in English government bonds, so that the day he loses his throne he will at least have his money.) This, of course, has come to his ears, but with suoh a man, gossip makes little impresnlon, and ha has merely redoubled his efforts to gets the debts paid eff and live as he chooses. Another ' of bis "economies" was to turn the royal stables, here and there. Into paying, concerns. For instance, Castelfusano and Castelporzianor near Ontia, on the sea, under the late "mag nificent" king, . were merely passive shooting places, which required large sums to keep up. The "bourgeois" king has, with modern methods, transformed them into money-making properties, wblck pay from three to five per cent andsat the same time keeps up his game preserves at half the cost The Coltano estate.-which seemed to be nothing but worthless marshes, has- been drained, and now pays something like 10 per cent, and the "miser" has given a large part of it aa a gift for the installation of the Marconi wireless. However, with all his good Qualities, it must be confessed that the Italian sovereign carries his economy somewhat too far. It is all right to par off other people's debts, but not at the expense of decorum. It is authoritatively stat ed that Queen Elena sells her old clothes, that is the very old ones the comparatively good orfts are sent to her family at Montenegro and that her husband thinks twice before' opening a Dotue or champagne, it is, pernaps, unfortunate that King - Victor reigns over a nation which does not particular ly love and admire the domestic. virtues In a ruler if notakept in the background and overshadowed by kingly-show. LAWYERS DISCUSS BAR AND BENCH AT BANQUET Examinations, cross-examinations, de murrers, .-complaints, arguments and Joinders, and all the 'other dry and dusty details and procedures of the law were forgotten' , for a few; hours- last night by the members of the Oregon State Bar association when some 200 of them put down to a-banquet a the Commercial lub which concluded the eighteenth annual meeting of the or ganisation, i ; ; ; ; The banquet in fact proved the moat popular feature of the meeting, for there were four -or five times as many attorneys present last night as had at tended any of the regular business as sociations, a. fact on which Toaat-Mas-and'ex-President R. W. Montague com mented 'by suggesting that next year it might be well to hold the annual banquet first In the hope that It might induce a larger attendance at, the other sessisns. A large number of the attorneys re sponded to toasts, and the speeches were Interesting and" witty. Keep Oat of the Kut Taking as his subject, ?The Rut" R. W. Wilbur advised his brother attor news to avoid it. and suggested aa the best means of so doing that they each take up some side line, something outsido of the law, as a diversion. I W, Humphreys, who has recently elected to renounce newspaper work and study crime instead of criminals, very fittingly spoke on "Law and Mod esty."

An old farmer, whose wife refused to allow him to store dynamite In the house burled it In the orchard or started to do so when it exploded. The Question arose before the funeral what oart of the remains was the farm er and what part the dog. An- expert at $60 a day was employed to separate them. And after the funeral the dog came nacK. "Higher Ideals." was Judare M. C Oeorge's subject. He admoniahed his fellow attorneys that there la more in the law than money-making.

The initiative and referendum amendments to the Ore gon constitution are subversive of the representative system of a republican form of government" Judge Carey thought that a limit should be placed on the number of constitutional amend ments and initiative measures that may be submitted to the voters at any one election.
