Rosh Hashanah, the Jew-1
ish New Year, began at sun- j
1 down last night. It is the year
5692 in the Jewish calendar.
The Christian religion gives a
different age to the earth, but
inasmuch as science proves j
both wrong by many hundred;
millions of years, it is not a'
thing to quarrel about.
Rosh Hashana is a happy
day, bringing special services
for the aged, the ill and the
poor, in 91 well managed Jew-
a ish institutions in one single
city, gifts to children, happi
ness for thousands all over the
country.

j thought on William Lee. 26-
year-old Chinese, who lives in
Brooklyn Three .thugs sur
rounded Lee, commanding :
"Hand over your money." Un
der such circumstances the
proud Caucasian usually hands
it over.
Lee hit one Caucasian thug on the
nose, kicked the other In the shins,
pushed the third Into the gutter and
ran. They overtook him, threw him
down, kicked him In the head, stab
bed him In the left side and In the
back, and when he was unconscious
robbed him, getting $4 cash and a
wrist watch. But Mr. Lee got the
glory and set a good example to
proud Caucasia.
Mrs. Eleanor Patterson, grandchild
of Joseph Medlll, late owner of the
Chicago Tribune, chief editor of
or . jieurauo wiuuuukwu neiniu, wr 11.00 iu
I Cosmopolitan Magazine that certain
women brag more than men do, Cy
rus H. K. Curtis gives two columns
to Ida Tarbell and Anita Loos, and
they contradict their literary sister.
M
The question la not Important. If
women brag. It la because they have
energy and ambition. Bragging In
youth often becomes accomplishment
later. Wolfe bragged that he would
take Quebec. He did. Shakespeare
bragged that mentioning a name In
his sonnet would make that name
Immortal, It did. And so with Bon
sard. More Interesting than the bragging
discussion Is the Anita Loos state
ment, "Women abroad have charm,
but no vitality. Here we have lots
of vitality and no charm. I think
that's Just fine."
Gandhi, the "peaceful one," bound
for England, lands at Marseilles with
that not very peaceful remark that
the British government In such deep
trouble must necessarily yield to his
demands. If it does not yield, says
he, there will be a new boycott and
greater bloodshed.
But the Mahatma may be disap
pointed. Englishmen possess a qual
ity that sometimes disappoints those
that expect them to back down.
And If there Is Increased bloodshed
it will be largely Hindu blood, of
whom there are 300,000,000 in India,
against 100,000 British forces.
Also Qandhl should not forge the
sixty-odd million Mohammedans that
always enjoy shedding Hindu blood.
Belize, capital of British Honduras,
was struck by a tropical hurricane
yesterday, buildings wrecked, 200
i killed. The same hurricane, typhoon,
gale or cyclone, call it what you will
or another like It, struck Porto Rico,
killed one, taking roofs from 200
bouses In San Juan.
Danger In these tropical hurricanes
consist In the whirling power of the
cyclone, which usually moves slowly,
about 15 miles an hour over land
or water. Fliers and steamers easily
escape by turning from their path.
No hope seems reft for the brave
Pacific fliers, Moyle and Allen. They
may be hanging to the wreckage of
their plane somewhere on the Pa
cific, but that Is a faint hope, with
a much fainter chance of finding
them, as their flight was not In the
steamship llu..
If the worst happens they will take
their place among courageous fliers.
And In a hundred years when all
the sixteen hundred millions now on
earth will be dead, they will be glad
they attempted the flight.

PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 12. (AP)
Though specifications showing
right-of-way of the proposed Port
land & Southeastern railroad com
pany line across Hogg Pass In Sant-
lam national forest have been filed,
observers here were still In the dark
today as to the interests behind the
plan and the purpose of the pro
ject.
The department of Interior today
notified the land office at The Dalles
that the specifications had been
filed. The land office, however, could
not determine either point of origin
or terminal of the line.
The specifications showed the line
beginning In section 25, township
13, range 7V& east, crossing the Cas
cades and ending In section 36, town
ship 14, range 0 east.
A. C. Burroughs Is listed as presi
dent of the Portland & Southeast
ern, and H. L. Gilbert as chief engin
eer.
F. M. DeNeffe, attorney for the
company, said he was not at liberty
to disclose details of the undertak
ing. It was bona fide, however, he
continued, and would mean much for
the development of the state If the
plans were carried out.
Gossip has linked both Great
Northern and Southern Pacific with
the proposal, but officials of both
lines have denied more than passing
Interest In It.
Hogg Pass has been threatened
with railroad Invasion every now and
then during the past 30 years. At
that time, Colonel Hogg surveyed a
cross-state line by way of the pass
and actually did some construction
work before overcome by financial
difficulties. A few rails and fish
plates are still rusting In the moun
tains from his venture.
PORTLAND. Ore., Sept; 12. (AP)
Plans for unification of switching
operations here involving construc
tion by the city of break-up yards
costing $385,000 and links In a belt
line railway costing $1.400,000 were
submitted today to City Commis
sioner A. L. Barbur, by a sub -division
of a city committee on unification
of terminals.
The plan, if carried out, would
make possible a 20 per cent reduc
tion in switching rates on intra-clty
business, the report said, and the
railroads would absorb such charges
on carload lots where line haul is
involved.
The report proposes creation of the
Portland Terminal Switching associa
tion with a board of control with
one representative each from the
railroads and one from the city.
Tracks and other property required
would be pooled under a leasing
agreement.
A 25-year franchise for the new
system would be Issued July 1, 1932,
and no other franchises would be
Issued until that matter was settled.
The Northern Pacific Terminal com
pany would be nucleus for the new
association.
The city would construct the
break-up yards and belt line by Is
suance of either bonds or public
utility certificates which would be
paid off by the association's charges
for service.
Companies involved In the plan
would be Union Pacific, Northern
Pacific, Southerr Pacific, Great
Northern, Northern Pacific Terminal
company, s. P. is S., United Railways.
Oregon Electric and Pacific North
west Public Service company. The
report showed 227.18 miles of tracks

Publisher Hearst Says Nat
ions Abroad Face Bank
ruptcy Scores French
Greed And Predicts An
other War When Able.
NEW YORK, Sept, 12. (AP)
Conditions in Europe are "so bad,"
William Randolph Hearst .said to
night, that our "own depression In
comparison seems like only a small
dent In the smooth surface of pros- ;
perlty."
In a radio address the publisher
said: "The essential and vitally im
portant difference between conditions
abroad and here at home Is that,
although considerable individual fi
nancial embarrassment and even
some individual insolvency prevails
here, still our nation is sound and ;
solvent, while In Europe not only Is
there much more Individual impov
erishment but governments and even
nations are on the brink of bank
ruptcy." He said he stayed out of France
by "what may politely be termed
mutual consent." Last year he was
expelled from France as a sequel to
the publication In his papers of a
memorandum on the so-called Anglo
French secret naval pact.
Of France, Mr. Hearst said: "Such
Is her Insatiable greediness that in
the eyes of Europe the game cock
has ceased to be the emblem of the
French nation and has been super
seded by the cormorant."
"There Is one outstanding lesson
n the European situation for Amer
ica," said Mr. Hearst, "and that is:
keep out of European conflicts and
complications.
"We all know the desperate con
dition Germany is In because of the
overheavy burdens imposed by the
Versailles treaty; and recent revela
tions have shown that England, too.
Is on the very verge of Insolvency.
"My personal opinion, however, is
that in England the present coalition
government Is not going to get the
country out of its troubles.
"Just as soon as the nations of
Europe can stand upon their finan
cial feet and accumulate enough
money to finance another war, they
will spend their money in another
war, and invite another and greater
disaster."

JONESBORO, Ark., Sept. 12. (AP)

out of a controversy between oppos
ing factions of the First Baptist
church of Jonesboro.

and son, were taken Into custody
and ordered tried on charges of at
tacking Mayor H. J. Bosler, and Chief

Guy Freellng, Governor Parnell's
secietnry and Lieutenant Colonel
Garrett, assistant state adjutant gen

Jeffers. were fined 15 on simple as
sault charges today In a court room

"The now method of Btudylng cell

NEW CLUES HINT
DEATH ON YACHT
'STAGED AFFAIR
SYOSETT, N. Y., Sept. 12. (AP)
The revelation that Benjamin Cei
lings failed to take advantage of two
opportunities to arm himself against
the two men she says threw him off
their cruiser was made today by Mrs,
Colllngs, after she had Identified nn
abandoned cartoe as the one the In
vaders used.
Authorities would not say what sig
nificance they attached to her dis
closure. One published theory attrlb
uted to some of the Investigators was
that tho Connecticut yachtsman
might have vanished voluntarily and
that the events on the cruiser Wed
nesday night related by his wife were
"staged to mislead her and others.
The canoe which Mrs. Colllngs
Identified Is owned by Miner D. Car
ey, wealthy yachtsman who has an
estate on Ducks' Island, North port,
not far from where the Penguin was
anchored when she said the two men
climbed aboard. It was stolen Wed-
nasday afternoon or evening from
beach on the Carey estate.
Regarding her husband's failure to
arm himself against his assailants,
Mrs. Colllngs said that twice after
they came aboard and started an ar
gument with him, Colllngs left them
on deck nnd went into the cobln to
talk to her.
A Bowie knife and a loaded auto
matic pistol were in a box on the Ice
chest within easy reach, she said
They were found there by lnvestlga
tors yesterday.
It was after his last visit to the
cabin, Mrs. Colllngs said, that she
looked out and saw her husband's
hands bclnff tied behind his back and
few minutes later saw his body
floating on the water.
A clue which the inspector aald he
considered of great Importance was
a report from Springfield, Mass., that
blanket with the words "Hotel
Charles" woven in it was missed on
August 3, 1030, after a "Mr. and Mrs,
P. C. Collingborn of Stamford Conn,
had spent a night there.
Yesterday authorities revealed that
one of the four blankets given to
Mrs. Colllngs by the two men as they
left her in the moored motorboat
earlv Thursday morning had the
words "Hotel Charles" woven In It.
At Stamford It was said no one by
the name of "Collingborn Is listed in
directories there".

Congress.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. (AP)
Determined opposition to the sales
tax proposal of Senator Reed, repub
lican, of Pennsylvania, was voiced to
day by both democrats and republi
can independents.
However, the issue at whether to
revise taxes or borrow more money
to balance next years budget was
still being argued and there was
every likelihood It would be settled
only when congress meets.
President Hoover and Secretary
Mellon are going t wait until cong
ress meets In an effort to get last
minute information on the trend of
government income and prospective
expenditures.
Senator Harrison of Mississippi, th
ranking democrat on the flnanca
committee, speaking through the
democratic national committee, has
declared not only against tax revision
but specifically against the sales tax
If there must be a revision.
Senator Caraway, democrat, of
Arkansas, Joined In that view, assert
lng the sales tax proposal was "an
attempt to shift the burden of gov
ernment from those who have means
to those who need."
Republican Independents, likewise,
have declared unequivocally against
the sales tax. ?
With Senator Watson of Indiana,
the party pilot, and the democrat
standing firmly against tax revision,
it was believed President Hoover and
his treasury chief would weigh care
fully all elements before recommend
ing such aotton. . j
