SANE OR INSANE.
Justice Fitzgerald of the su
preme court of New York has
decided that Harry K. Thaw
shall be examined that his sanity
many be determined. A com
mission has already been select
ed to conduct the examination.
Thaw declares himself as sane
as the judge now.
It is making a nice point in ad
mitting insanity, in fact, plead
ing insanity during the few
moments required to commit a
criminal act and then immediate
ly to become perfectly sane.
Yet sucii is the course pursued
by Thaw and his attorneys in
conducting tha defense of the
former for the murder of Stan
ford White.
Again, it is strange that if
Tiia.v is at the present time per
fectly sane that he has never
at any time since the murder
given evidence of any regret for
the killing of White duri g his
awful attack of "brain storm."
This wou d go tJ prove that his
mind at present is in the same
state it was when the deed was
committed. In other words, he
has not changed his mind. This
theory of temporary insanity, is
getting "dog-eared."
After all this "fuss and stew"
over the trial of Thaw, and the
expense of said trial, it is now
determined to ascertain if he
was insane at the time he corn
committed the deed and his men
tal condition at the present time.
What a saving it might have
boen for the tax-p lyers of New
York if tha question had been
sat led before so much money
had bean spent over his trial.
Thaw belongs either to the in
sane asylum or the electric chair.
There seems no justice in send
ing hm' forth into the world
again a free man.
The Standard Oil octopus has
advanced the price of its com
modity one-fourth cent per gal
lon. This is refreshing news for
those who use kerosene lamps,
automobiles and yachts. The
Standard Oil magnates justify
their course by a statement that
the rise of price was made nec
essary by the increased cost of
conducting the process of pro
curing said raise or words to
this effect.
J. J. Hill says that "red
lights" are ahead for the cau
tious business man. He does not
mean that everything is going to
the bow wows, but says there
is in progress a recession of busi
ness. This he seems to infer
will affect only those who wear
diamonds and automobiles.
SILVER T03 CHEAP.
Banks Flooded Refuse to Accept
More Strange Condition.
Portland banks have an over
surply of silver coins, and will
not accept any great amount of
thm for depositing, savs yester
day's Telegram.
Few knew that the city was
flooded with the white metal un
til yesterday, when tbe United
Collector of Customs sect $12,
000 in silver to deposit in the
First National Bank, in accord
ance with a new regulation
which had been put into effect
by the treasury department at
Washington. The stacks of sil
ver were refused, on the grounds
that more of that suit of money
is in the bank now thau can be
handled to advantage. Inquiry
showed that the other financial
institutions are similarly affect
ed. Word came from Washington
tbe other day that from now on
fell import money received at this
part should be deposited in the
Fi st National Bank at Portland,
iiK-ed of ; einc sent lo the Unit
rd Sutes sub-treasury at San
Francisco, as has -een the cus
tom. Since tbe local baoK will
I noi accept the silver, th.- Collec-ione
tot of Customs is wiring- to the
treasury department at Washing
tun today to determine what be
sh ;11 do with. it. In the mean-
ltnt- the coin , that no one ap
pears to want is being;" htld in
private depositories.
Duty to the amount of $80,
. in go d, collect d from ' the
Oriental iiuer .: Arabia's cargo,
was received at the bank-yesterday
without any objections, but
when the silver was offered with
the yellow circulating medium it
was frowned upon as being too
cheap. Additional money will
be collected on the Arabia's
c rgo, but some means for keep
ing it in private s-afes? may Tiave
to be found if it should happen
to be silver.
CURE FOR "WHITE PLAGUE."
Hope For Sufferers Held Out.
What It Is.
Consumption is a subject that
today is being discussed ihe
world over, and it now looks as
though the dav is not far distant
when sufferers froin this terrible
malady will have hope held oui
to them by the medical profes
sion. There has been an awak
ening but recently in regard to
the havoc wrought in human
life and affairs by this plague and
every new discovery is hailed
with delight that promises help
for those afflicted. News of a
new cure comes from Boston, and
the story reads:
Hope lor sufferers from the
jsjreat white plague is held out by
the success or experiments with
vaccine inoculation as a cure tor
tuberculosis, not only of lungs,
but on other organs of the body,
by the faculty of Tufts College
Medical School and pathological
department of the Massachusetts
Genera Hospital.
The t:eatmeut has already
been tested in the case of Mrs.
Curtis Guild, Jr., wife of Gov
ernor Guild, with most encour
aging results.
At Tuft's Medical School the
woik has been in charge ot Dr.
Timothy Leary, professor of
path logy and bacteriology in
the Massachusetts General Hos
pital, and Dr James Homer
Wri-ht. Dr. Wright calls the
treatment "the Opsonic method,"
from the fact that the opsoning
in the blood are stimulated to
greater activiiy.
In" the O'.se of disease when
dangerous bacteria attack the
body, the opsoning set to work
10 destroy the bacteria. If they
succeed the patient recovers, but
if they fail, the disease progress
es and the deadly absorption 0
the vital organs begins.
Dr. Leary says of the preven
tative with which he is experi
menting. "What we are "trying to do,
what. others in every part of the
medical and scientific world are
at work tiying to do, is to elab
orate a specific which will so
strengthen the powers of the hu
man blcod that their resistance
in tbe inroads of disease will not
only be increased but prolong
ed; which will make them im
mune against the inroads of tht
bacteria and keep them up to the
point which they must possess in
order to perform the work for
which they were intended by na
ture." In Their Honor.
At the First Methodist church
Monday evening a farewell re
ception to Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
Underwood called together a
large company of friends- of the
guests of honor who spent the
evening in a very happy manner.
An impromptu program was giv
en which included a song by the
audience, solo by Dr. Cathey:
recitation, Mrs. Carroll Curn
nrngs; vocal solo, Mrs. Arthur
Haynes; recitation, Mildred L.
Hall and recitation, Harriet Fos
ter. Rev. Feese, on behalf of
the company, requested . Mr. and
Mrs. Underwood to come for
ward, and in a few well- chosen
words presented them with a
handsome Japanese inlaid music
stand, as a token of the esteem in
which they are held by the
church people. Mr. Underwood
responded feeliugly,, assuring all
that only for the purpose of bet
tering their condition , ' in life
would they sever the pleasant
ties they have formed in Corval
lis. He closed by inviting evety-
to come over to Lebanon and
pay them a visit
W. C. Swann then requested
Miss Zetta Underwood to come
forward, when he presented 1 her
a book, a token of loving i regard
from" the Intermediate League of
which"; she has been; aj faithful
member, " ''
The- remaining hours of the
eveningi were spent in social con
versation,' coffee and cake being
served to all in the dining room,
The occasion was one of pleas
ure for ail, although there was
general regret expressed . that it
should have been --necessary to
say goodbye, to Mr. and Mrs.

the table around which Governor

cause ot the superior keeping
quality of his apples, which
enabled him to hold his iruit un
til all other growers were out of

This is a practical i demonstra
tion of the claim that Mr.
Lownsdale has always made that
his fruit will keep longer than
the Hood River apples. He also
claims to have had the same ex
perience for several vears.
Mr. Lcwdsdale's Spitzenburgs

Baldwins were sold from $1 to
