The court refused their re- Iquest and ordered them to prepare for trial. Two hours later both the prisoners repented of their earlier decisions and sent word to Judge Gatens that they were willing to plead guilty and receive their sentence.

Blaeslng. president of the Rose society, explained away the mystery- "We had 10.000 of the stickers print ed in colors for automobile windshields because we want Portlanders to keep before them the reminder that' next summer is coming and we should get ready for it," said he. "We want everyone to plant roses. We want Portland to be one great rose garden when convention delegates, toifr istj and visitors flock to this city next summer.

Prineville, Nov. csn. . years oia f " Down at Iquique, Chile, where summer is winter and winter Is sum mer, where the sun is to the north at noon, in the rainless belt, where there is never the slightest hope of precipitation, Edward E. Muecke re sides. Muecke, who was for 15 years American consul at Iquique, has been visiting in the United States several months. He arrived at the Multnomah hotel this morning from 8an Francisco to spend Thanksgiv ing with his two brothers, who own a ranch near Aurora. JUTRATE INDUSTRY FLOURISHES Iquique Is the home of the nitrate In dustry. It has a population of 35,000, mostly attracted by nitrate. Although it is located on the seacoast with water everywhere, there Is not a drop to drink except that which is piped 45 miles from a little oasis. Consequently, water is expensive. In the entire 25 years Muecke ha lived- there it has never rained once. No flowers, grass or vegetation of any sort grows. Vegetables must all be shipped from the south, five days' Journey away, and yet, says Muecke. tney may be pur chased 'much cheaper in Iquique than In Portland, where they are so plentiful.

Berkeley city fathers are scratching their heads in pussled fashion today, wandering what in the world to do. If they uphold a new and sacred city ordinance, Miss Virginia Lane, niece of the secretary of the interior, may have to go to Jail. Miss Lane, student at the University of California, was arrested charged with speeding, and the ordinance makes a Jail sentence mandatory following con viction. Already two men have been jailed and the ordinance is only two weeks old. "I didn't want to be tardy at class, said Miss Lane. She is accused of driving over a street crossing at over 25 miles an hour.

Before pronouncing sentence Judge Gatens told both men that they were fortunate that there was no law . pro Tiding for capital punishment as they certainly would have been hanged had there been one at this time. The men were led away by Inspectors Tackaberry and Phillips, the policemen responsible for their capture, and were returned to the county jail. It is ex pected ' that the"y will leave for Salem Friday morning. BIG CROWD GATHERS The Immense Interest taken in the fate to be meted out to the bandits was evU denced at 2 o'clock, when spectators filled the courtroom and choxed the cor ridors outside. Hundreds of curious persons were unable to secure any glimpse of the prisoners except as they were being led into the court. . As they filed in closely guarded by deputy neriff they became the focus f scores of pairs of eyes. Herman and Ogle seemtd sullen and rather bitter in their expression and apparently resented the Interest of the spectators. Both frowned several times while waiting for the Judge to take the bench, and kept their eyes cast down. Smith looked white man to settle in the vast bunch grass empire. Millican postoffice is situated in this valley, which is south west of Prineville. The Millican home in Prineville Is known as "The Wig wam." .

TREATY OF PEACE Protocol Not Effective Until Roumania Becomes Party to Terms Made by Allies. Paris, Nov. 27. (U. P.) The Bulgarian delegates signed their peace treaty at 10:36 o'clock this morning in the town hall at Neuilly. Considerable interest centered in the Bulgarian treaty because of the previous refusal of Serbia to accept the treaty ef St Germain, making peace with Austria. Serbians held off until the last minute, onlv signing the St. Germain pact last night. They had to do this in order to become a party to the Bulgarian treaty today which tney were most anxious to see in effect. The execution of the Bulgarian proto col, amplifying the terms of the treaty, will not become effective for some time, it was understood, in order to permit Roumania to become a party to the terms, as well as to the agreement pro viding free movement of racial minori ties befween Greece and Bulgaria.

Rome, Nov. 27. (I. N. S.) Un mindful of the threats made against him by Socialists, King Victor Em manuel will open parliament him self December 1, it was announced today. The Socialists elected to the chamber of deputies in the recent election are threatening to attack the king and pre vent him from speaking should he at tempt the time honored custom of open ing parliament in person. So acute has the political situation be come that suggestions were made that King Victor Emmanuel abdicate, but so far there has been no official move to Indicate that such drastic action was seriously contemplated. There will be about 150 Socialists In the new chamber, although all of them are not radicals of the Maximllist type. Hitherto the Socialists elected to the chamber have refrained from taking an active part because of their hopeless minority, but they threaten to seize the rein in the forthcoming session if they are able to do so.

Silver Has Reached Its Highest Figure On London Exchange New figures for silver, at a price which is the highest ever seen before in the world, were established in Lon don when the white metal hit 72 H pence, which, under normal exchange, would be eauaL to S1.4I 4-6 Der ounce, but Heavy Losses Resulted in Someiwhich.v present, under prevailing low J I rate of "exchange.

Most buying at cur rent high levels is for the Orient and small domestic consumption by jewelers is relatively unimportant. Danger of unauthorised private persons melting silver dollars in this country is consid ered Blight for Beveral reasons. Pocket circulation of silver certificates en titling holders to stiver coin has also been reduced by the general substitu tion of federal reserve notes. Most of the silver dollars in the country are more or less worn and would not pay the expense of re-melting unless the price of silver should rise to a price sev eral cents higher than the gold parity of the dollar. The melting of half dollars does not need to be considered until the bullion price is greater than $1.35 an ounce, at which figure the intrinsic value of the metal is equal to the face value of the coins. The proportion of silver in dimes and quarters is even less and their gold parity is around $1.38. national Merchants Marine company has been definitely placed in the hands of England caused no little amount of surprise in Wall street.

By Broadan Wall New Tork, Nov. 27. Stocks closed lower Wednesday and the losses wore material in a few issues but the final prices were considerably above the worst of the day. Superficial Wall street talked of the Mexicaiy situa tion as the cause of the snling of stocks, but the real cause was another rumor that the federal re serve bank Intends to discipline the loan market again not the Wall street loan market but the com modity market that is wildly specu lative. That Is exactly what Wall street had demanded should he done as a matter of fair play. If the Mexican situation is a market factor at all it is a bullish one. Owing to the holiday there was considerable liquidation by persons who had bought the market for a turn but the short selling was much greater tn volume. DO WOT LOOK FOB WAR . The market is now as full of short accounts as It was of weak long ac counts two weeks ago. Nobody in Wall street believes the Mexican situation will reach its crisis at this time, and. there fore, when the traders come to Wall street Friday and find the world still running on as usual It Is quite likely that they will feel themselves com pelled to cover their contracts. In other words the technical condition is Btronger than before.

This Is a growth of a quarter million since September 12. It is not denied, says the New York Evening Post, that the copper situa tion is very bad at the present time, but opinion is expressed In certain quar ters that there Is an inclination on the part of some trades to lay too much stress upon the condition of affairs.
