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. He caused me

Serves to Further Cause
With Legislators.
(Salem Bureau of Toe Journal.) ,.
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." He told a number of aood stor
ies and there wasn't a wet eye or a

"Flotsam and Jetsam." oblected to the
newspapers, accusing them of trying

chance at them.
The Bog That Game Back.
J. B. Kerr took a die: at exDert tes
timony, telling a story illustrative of
the well-known value of this kind of
evidence. 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

"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 law,
he said, is an exalted profession, as Is
attested by the fact that a lawyer will

stroyer of representative government
"Great danger," he said, "lies In the
wholesale adoption of ill-advised and
