that she told her lawyer "all about
that woman that woman the real
cause of your not wanting to marry
me."
"After the suit is over," Mr. War
basse read. "I am going to telegraph
my brother Guy to come to me at once
and you know what will happen to
you after "he sees me and hears the
story. ,,
"You will be mortified to death
when the suit is brought for breach
of promise."
Handing her the letter, Mr. War
basse asked'her to compare the hand
writing. She said it was her hand
writing but that she had not recol
lection of having written it, adding
there was "something back of these
stories."

California Commission Insists
That Nevada, California,
Oregon Line to Lakeview
Continue in Operation
Suggest Reduction Salary
of President.' .
SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. H. The
California railroad commission sent
recommendation to the interstate com
merce commission today that the ap
plication of the Nevada-Callfornla-Oregon
Railroad company to suspend
service be denied. The railroad. 171
miles in length, runs between Hack
staff, Cal.. and Lakeview, Ore.
The California commission said an
area of a thousand square miles and a
population ot 10,000 would he left en
tirely without rail transportation if
service is suspended and suggested as
a solution ot Its traffic difficulties that
the road be allowed a greater share of
Joint freight rates trora the Southern
Pacific and Western Pacific or that It
be purchased by the Western Pacific
as a feeder.
Although the road had a S52.0O0
operating . deficit last year the com
mission stated $31,000 ot that could be
eliminated hy changing the daily train
schedule to a trl-weekly service, dis
continuing the $10,000 annual salary
of the road and the closing ot the New
York office.
A conference at Washington was
suggested by the California commis
sion which said President C. M. Levy
of the Western Pacific Railroad com
pany had offered to lease the road foi"
two years with an option to purchase
for $6500 a mile or a total of $1,100,000.

By representing himself as a caddie

PORTLAND, Ore., Mar. 81. Dr. N.

has been removed to San Francisco
where he will be assigned to labora
tory work, according to word received
here today from Washington. His suc
cessor Is to be Surgeon Gordon, now,
stationed at Fort McIIenry, Baltimore.
I the signatory nations to ratify tho
treaties, it is considered here that
some time will elapse before the vari
ous nations indicate their readiness to
exchange ratifications.
The exchange of ratifications will
take placo in Washington as provided
by the treaties and the agreements
will be binding on all partioa os soon
as the exchange has taken place,
State department officials said the
leocivuuuu io iuu lour power treaty
would not require anything more than
tacit agreement by tho other power
and consent by those powers to an ex
change of ratifications would be suffic
ient acquiescence in the reservations.
