Family of Seven Die Together. Because they could no longer stand the agonies of starvation, a Chinese family of seven committed suicide. The father and mother first bound their five children together, then lashed themselves to the children, and all leaped into a river. The seven bodies, all bound together, were seen by L. j V. Lewis of Portland, who recently re i turned from the famine section in North China. "With 45,000,000 starving, the situa tlon is a colossal tragedy,” said Mr. Lewis, “ and rather than see their chil dren suffer any longer, parents all through the famine lands are killing their little ones and then themselves. There are millions of gaunt, emaciat ed, half-naked men, women and chil dren roaming the famine lands, chew ing roots and bark, and banging tena ciously to life, In the effort to pull through until spring. The relief or ganizations are struggling against the overwhelming situation, and are sav ing some of those on the edge of the great famine district. Surely every man, woman and child in Oregon will want to give something towards the China Famine Fund.” DIDN'T SHE KNOW?

Two « New Yvrk.—Stanley Waltkas, twen ty-five, and Martin KoleJa, forty, were held In $10.000 hall each for examina tion on charges o f grand larceny.
