Progressives to Meet in Chicago
On Same Day as Republicans
Chicago— The Progressive party will
hold its National convention on June
7 in Chicago, concurrently with the
National convention of the Republican
party, in the hope that both agree on
the same candidate for president.
This action was decided on by the
National committee o f the Progressive
party. Forty-seven o f the 48 states
were represented at the meeting.
Before adjourning the committee
adopted a declaration of principles, in
which the administration o f President
Wilson was criticised for its failure to
deal adequately with National honor
and industrial welfare, and the Pro­
gressive party went on record as fa ­
voring a complete preparedness con­
sisting of m ilitary armament, as well
as mobilization o f all the country's re­
sources.
Electric Hand Devised.
Berlin— A fte r yearn o f experiment,
Director Klingenberg, of the General
Electric Co., has announced the per­
fection o f an electro-magnetic hand,
with which it is possbile to grasp even
the heaviest metal objects and work
with them as advantageously as with
human hands.
Dr. Klingenberg hae
evolved and unusually powerful bat­
tery, which can be carried by the
operator, making it unnecessary for
him to be near the current. The in­
vention can perform all the functions
o f the human hand and others besides.
Visitors Not Welcomed.
Washington, D. C .— Germany’s new
passport
requirements.
Count von
Bem storff Wednesday informed the
State department, provide that Am eri­
cans must produce their birth certifi­
cates or naturalization papers in ap­
plying for a vise o f their passports by
German agents.
German officials w ill vise passports,
Count von Bem storff said, for travel
to Germany only when such tripe are
unobjectionable and necessary and the
business contemplated cannot well be
conducted by correspondence.
Fish Market Short.
Tacoma— Fresh halibut is reported
scarce on the local market. Dealers,
however, expect regualr shipments to
begin and keep up after a week or so.
Receipts are far below the demand
and the fish is going at 9c to 11c a
pound. What is being received is of
excellent quality.
The shortage is
attributed directly to the fact that
fishermen laid off work during the holi­
days and after that the weather was
too stormy to permit them to make
any reasonable catches.
Salmon also is reported scarce, with
not enough being obtained to accom­
modate the trade.
Steelheads and
Alaska kings are the only varieties
received. The steelheads are being
caught in the Columbia and other
Northwest rivers, in the Grays Harbor
and Puget Sound districts. The kings
come from Alaska.
Butter remains at the advanced
prices and is very firm, say jobbers, at
33(((34c a pound. N o change either
way is expected for some time.
Prac­
tically no Oregon butter is being re­
ceived, but what little does come in is
moving out at 32c a pound.
Ranch eggs are a bit easier, dealers
setting prices down at 34(u 36c a dozen
to encourage sales, they say.
The local produce market shows no
change. The boards are well supplied
and dealers are doing a good business.
TWELVE DIE EROM DRINKING WOOD
ALCOHOL IN “ DRY" WASHINGTON
Seattle, Wash.— Charged with sell­
ing a quantity o f wood alcohol, which
has resulted in the death o f several
men since January 1, T. Takana, a
Japanese, 38 years old, manager o f a
drugstore at 602 Sixth avenue South,
was arrested here.
Detectives Yoris
and Waechter say they saw the sale by
Takana o f tw o pint bottles o f the poi­
son. A specific charge o f manslaugh­
ter w ill be preferred against the drag-
gist by the prosecuting attorney’s
office.
The pharmacy operated by Takana,
according to detectives, has been made
the base o f supply since the dry law
went into effect, January 1, for a num­
ber o f bootleggers, some o f whom, it
is alleged, operated under the direc­
tion of the Japanese.
F ive men, who
assert they bought bottles o f wood al­
cohol from Takana, are held in the city

Where the Strong Are Weakest.
In view of the deadly inroads of
grippe and pneumonia and the warn­
ings in this connection Issued by the
publio health authorities, a word ad
dressed especially to the strong and
well may not be amiss. Though seem
tngly remarkable, it la a perfectly logi­
cal fact that both grippe and pneu­
monia find their greatest number of
victims among persons who are in
normal health. The latter disease, in
fact, seems rather partial to excep­
tionally robust persons, and. in every­
day parlance, the stouter they are the
easier they fall. The reason for this
Is simple. Frail persons are accus­
tomed to tako extra care of them­
selves In the knowledge of their weak­
ness and liability to sickness, and thus
escape some of the Ills that overtake
the stronger ones. The robust ones,
especially th « man who "n ever had a
sick day in his life," come to regard
their health as being immune from at­
tack and so expose themselves reck
lessiy. Also they are Inclined to In­

Turning Meanness Into Joy.
One does not often envy millionaires
—the galling of their golden chains
is too evident in their faces— but one
recent exception stand* out. Three
days before Christmas the Pittsburgh
Bank for Savings was closed by the
state officials, and among its deposi­
tors were over 41.000 school children
who had about four dollars apiece to

arrangement with the board of educa­
tion by which coliectora visited the
schools every week and got the chil­
dren’s pennies. When the bank closed
all the children had for their pains
was the chance of a 50 per cent divi­
dend some two months later.

same day and said briefly that the
kids were to have all their money at
once. So the storm passed by for
those young depositors and their faith
in men was justified. Mr. Frick has
