Charleston, S. C , Aug. 29. After
more than twenty-four hours of iso-
j latlon from the outside world, caused
San Francisco, Calif., Aug. 29.
Practical certainty, that Julius Krutt
schmllt, vice-president and general
manager of the Harriman System of
railroad lines, will refuse to receive
the heads of five unions, who arc
coming west, as representatives of
the fedeated shopmen of the lines,
and that a strike on the Harriman
lines will result within a very short
time following his refusal, was the
declaration- made today by prominent
labor leaders of this city.
Mr. Kruttsclimitt, in a maze of
words, that left no doubt as to the
stand he will take, today announced
that the lines he represents will not
under Any consideration treat with
the new federation.
He frankly confesses that to do so,
would put the inhoring men In abso
lute rotund of the railroads.
A new danger has arisen in the sit
uation in the faet that the men in
the shops are decidedly and openly
disgruntled and may go out on a
strike whither the officials of the
unions ir federation order them to
do so or r.ijt.
Labor li ade-rs are taking a more
conciliatory attitude, although they
remain fii nt in the declaration that
they will persist in their quest for un
condltlouil recognition of their feder
ation system.

Declares Marriage an Illogical

New York, Aug. 29. Declaring that
she was of the opinion that she would
not oppo.-e the suit for divorce that
has been filed against her by her
husband on statutory grounds or
that she would take any interest in it
in any manner, Mrs. Upton Sinclair,
wife of the novelist, today gave out
some of her views which will leave
no doubt as to her opinion of hus
bands in general and her own former
choice in particular.
Talking freely, Mrs. Sinclair said:
"Marriage is an artificial and whol
ly illogical institution.
"Woman should be true to love,
other than that toward a man.
"I consider the relations of men
end women as str.ctly a private mat
ter with which the state has no right
to interfere.
"Divorce ;s no disgrace, even
though it may be brought on statu
tory erounds.
"T'i- trial marr'age is the highest

Clay Beatt.e, Jr., on trial here for his
life for the murder of his young wife,
will depend on a plea of insanity to
save himself from expiating his crime
on the gallows.
Eeattie was examined by alien. sts
more than a week ago, and it is un
derstood that his attorneys have been
busily engaged in preparing this line
of defense, which however, they did
not intend resorting to until Paul

bulletin of the Oregon Stale
Hoard of Health present seime Inter
esting facts regareling the compara
tive number of births and deaths in
the different counties of the state and
tho prevalence of different diseases.
These figures prove eonclusivly that
the count 1b in eastern Oregon are
more adapted to good henlth than
those of western Oregon, the death
rate being lower and the number of
contagious" diseases being much.
Smaller.
Of particular Interest are the sta
tistics from I'matilla county for the
three months. April showed the high
est death rate, there being nlno
deaths reported against six In May,
and four In Juno. April also showed
the greatest birth rate, 22 being re
ported against 17 for May and 14
for June.
Of much significance are the fig
ures showing the prevalence of dif
ferent diseases in tho county. The
dread white plague was responsible
for three of tho nineteen deaths,
