TO AMEND CONSTITUTION.
Ex-Senator Turner, of Washington,
Would Call Convention.
Spokane, April 1". A convention to
amend the constitution of the United
States, so that many of the reforms and
laws demanded by the people may be
carried out, is advocated by Judge
George Turner, ex-United States een
ator, who has recently returned from
Washington, D. C. A provision for
the calling of such a convention is
made in article 5 of the constitution.
although never in the history of this
country has it been applied.
"I am in favor of Laving a conven
tion to amend the constitution called,"
said Judge Turner tonight. "Experi
ence has demonstrated that there are
omissions and corrections which it
would be wise to regulate.
"In article 5 of the United States
constitution it is provided that 'con
gress, whenever two-thirds of both
houses shall deem it necessary, shall
propose amendments to this constitu
tion, or, on the application of the legis
latures of two-thirds of the several
states, shall call a convention for pro
posing amendments which in either
case shall be valid to all intents and
purposes, as part of this constitution,
when ratified by the legislatures in
three-fourths of the several states, or
by convention in three-fourths thereof,
as the one or the other mode of ratifi
cation may be proposed by congress.'
I believe that there is an urgent
need for such a convention. In my
opinion it is the only way by which the
necessary amendment can be passod to
elect United States senators by popular
NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
SEVEN LOSE LIVES.
NOT SO BAD AS PAINTED.
Most Crops in Pendleton Section Are
Turning Out Well.
Pendleton Investigation of the con
dition of growing wheat in various
parts of Umatilla county shows the
damage sustained in the March cold
spell wan slight. Instead of many
thousand acres to reseed, as at first re
ported, not more than 2.000 acres m
the entire county have been reseeded
Many farmers secured seed wheat and
vitrol, in many instances paying fancy
prices for bluestem, which was scarce
only to find that their grain was not in
jured or only slightly. The only eec
tion where there was any loss was the
northwestern part, where the soil is
light and there was comparatively no
snowfall. The scare was due to tl
fact that the tops of the grain in some
places was frozen, but this is consider
ed a benefit instead of an injury by
many, as they say that it has caused
the grain to stool out more than other
wise.
The fruit is also ccming out nicely
and the damage will not be nearly 8
great as was feared. The peaches suf
fered most, but there will be a partial
crop and unless a later frost occurs
there will be a full crop of all other va
rieties of fruit.
ote.
TWO CENTS AN ACRE.
"There is an amendment needed to
the constitution to enable an income
tax law. This measure has been passed
by congress, but declared unconstitu
tional by the Supreme court. Such a
convention would make possible a uni
form divorce law and also the Federal
control of life insurance matters, as ad
vocated by President Roosevelt. The
convention could go over the entire
constitution."

TERRIBLE SCENES AT KAGI.
Buildings Left by Former Earthquake
Are Now in Ruins.
Tokio, April 17. One hundred atd
nine persons are known to have been
killed and 29 injured in the earthquake
in the southern part of the island of
Formosa last Saturday, but further de
tails, it is expected, will swell the death
roll, as the shock was more severe than
that of March 17.
The town of Kagi was again the prin
cipal sufferer, the houses which escaped
destruction in the former disturbances
being now in ruins. Doko and several
other towns and villages were also affect
ed by landslides, which have complete
ly changed the topography of the coun
try. The officials are working feverish
ly to relieve the thousands of persons
left homeless by the earthquake. Ter
rible scenes are reported around Kagi
nd Doko.
Later reports received from Formosa
confirm the earlier rumors of tbe com
piete destruction or .Kagi, where eeven
persons were killed and 35 injured. At
Daigo 400 buildings were destroyed and
at Ajensui 1,191 buildings collapsed
and 749 wee damaged and three per
sons were killed and 15 injured.
These later advices say that this
Bhock was m ire powerful than that of
March 17, but as the people had been
warned they were able to escape.

Favors Spelling Reform.
Salem State Superintendent Acker-

spelling, so much talked about by An

only one way to bring about the refor

that was for the newspapers of the
country to agree to adopt the new mode
of spelling. Should this be done, Mr.
Ackerman says that the country at large
will accept the new form and forget the
old inside of one year. He said thpt
the National Educational association

uie report oi me special commission
which held an investigation into the
Valencia disaster last February, hold
ing ita sessions at Seattle. The report.
which ia made to the president and
nel by the three Hommiasioners.
Laurence O. Murray, assistant secretary
of the department; Herbert Knox
Smith, deputy commissioner of corpora
tions, and Captain William T. Burwell,
U. S. N , consists of 52 printed paces
and exhaustively reviews the testimony
and findings of the commission.
A feature of the report is its severe
censure for the Pacific Coast-company,
which owned the steamer. The brunt
of the blath?, however, is thrown
Tince every member of the committee
of the advisability of immediatly mak
ing this appropriation. The committee
reported the Jones bill, which is iden
tical in every respect with Senator
Fulton's bill that passed the senate
several weeks ago, because several
members believed appropriation bills
should originate in the house. Once
the house passes the Jones bill, the
senate will readily pass it, inasmuch as
it is identical with the Fulton bill pre
viously passed by that body.
Ihere is every reason to believe this
bill will soon pass the house. The re
port will be printed immediately, and
some time today Mr. Fulton and
Mr. Jones will call on the speaker to
get him to agree to let tho bill be
called up fcr consideration and vote.
Mr. Jones believes he will be allowed
to call the bill up under suspension of
the rules on Monday. If he can do this
he will successfully shut off all amend
ments, and probably Becure prompt
passage of the bill. If the bill is not
brought up Monday, Mr. Jones will
ask unanimous consent for its consider
ation at an early date. In that event
the bill will not be subject to amendments.

Great Britain, France and Russia Unite
Against Germany.
St. Petersburg, ' April 14. Great
Britain has begun vigorously to press
negotiations for an Anglo-Russian en

the triple alliance of Great Britain,
France and Russia against Germany,
which has long been the aim of British
policy." The development at the Alge
ciras conference, where Great Britain,
France and Russia acted in unison, and
the participation of English bankers in
the big Russian loan furnish a practi
cal and favorable moment, and Great
Britain is striking while the iron is
hot.
Besides, the British government has
recently given Russia proof of her de
sire to settle outstanding difficult iea by
inducing English bankers not to take
the Persian loan, on the ground that
it might be regarded as prejudicial to
Rutsiau interests.
