WAHHINOTON, Oct. 13. "Onn

Impressed upon tho mlmU of nil Am-
'rlcah wnu am In doubt whuthor
tho United State ihoulit become
member: Ono party to contract
,,annot ImUt upon tho right to do
tormina thn Intorprolatlon of tho
language of tho contract," declares
thn Republican publicity association,
through It president, Hon. Jonathan
Bourne, Jr.. In the following slate
mnt Issued teday:
"Since President Wllion first mado
public tho league of nation cove
nant, ha and nlhrs who adrocato

"Wo have hnd a notable Illustra
tion of a difference of thl kind.
President Wllnon ha declared that
thn league of nation envennnt doe
not Interfere t with the Monroa doc
trine. After he had in'ndn thl tate
ment repreietitatlvcit of tbo llrlllili
government took occasion to assort a
different view, apparently taking tbo
precaution not to be bound even by
Inference by tlm Interpretation which
President WJIion ha put upon that
article of the league covenant which
mention the Monroe doctrine. Tho
word of thai llrltlnh diplomat com
menting upon thn Monroe doctrlno
were, 'Should uny dispute a to tho
meaning of thn latter ever nrlso be
tween tho American and Kuropean
power, the league I thro to aettlo
It.'
"That I an Interpretation with
which Japan will undoubtedly agrco.
Japan would like to ecurn a footing

-Anybody notlcod how smoothly tho
city ha beon running in the last two
weckaT The wheels of municipal
guimumuiil UUVo been revolving on
oiled bearings, seems like, and be
hold tho reason. Half the city's of
ficial family are out of town.
When tho city council failed to
hold ' meeting Monday night for
lack of quorum, tbo Herald report
er besought for Information of the
official whereabouts. It develops
that Councilman Lavenlk has haul
ing contract in Siskiyou county, Cal
ifornia, presumably more profitable
than hla three-dollar-a-week Job on
the 'council; '.Councilman Branden
burg Is In Portland, and Councilman
Colvln has gono deer bunting.
Chlot of Pollco Wilson Is also away
hunting the elusive buck. Mayor
Strublo confided to a friend yester
day that he, too, had an Itch In bis
triggur finger, but with so many of
ficer away ho felt It waa up to him
to stay hero und keep the town run
ning.
Hccauso of, or in splto of, the may
or's devotion to duty tho town Is
running along O. K. as far as the
superficial observer can aee, a tell
ing argumont for the advocates of
ono man government.
Meanwhile, the city council- baa
missed two sessions holding only
an Informal meeting last week and
four flro proventlon ordinances,
deemed very Important by the state
tire marahal, are lying on the table,
having passed first reading. The
city parking ordinance la also await
ing the return of the absent. These be
measures that are certain to stir op
considerable turmoil when they are
presented for final action. Some
crltlca of the council are beginning
to woaider Jf there I a concerted plan
totake the tire marshal's deputies at
tholr word In connection with the
charge made In their report that the
council was given to "passing the
buck" and endeavor to' leave their
successors in office bear the brunt
of attack upon tbo ponding regula
tions when It comes time for their
passage.
Fred H. Garlch has Bold his gro

These men are not unknown to the

salesman in the grocery department
of tho John Eudors company. Tho

progressive and will undoubtedly

buslnoas that they havo just taken

Tho retirement of Mr, Garlch does
not mean that he Is to drop out of
the buslnoss circles ot the city. He
has other plans that call tor hla

SHANGHAI, Oct. 13. Ocn-
oral Chang Tao Lin, governor
of Feng Teln, has overthrown
the Poking government and
proclaimed a monarchy, accord-
Ing to unauthontlcated rnmors
here. No details aro available
but Chinese officials aro pro-
foundly stirred. It Is supposed
here that the roportod coup la
sn effort to reitoro to the
throne the former emporor,
Hsuan-Tung.
In connection with the lack
of authenticity of the Shanghai
rumors the fact may be noted
that message from the As-
soclated Press correspondent In
Peking, dated the same day as
4 the Shanghai cablegram, con-
talned no hint of the overthrow.

The legislative committee of the
chamber of commerce has taken up
the matter of somo ot the important
measures which aro to be voted on
by tho people this fall lu order to
better acquaint themselves and mem
ber of the chamber with the merits
and. demerits of the bills.
W. A. Wiest, chairman of the com'
mlttee .bad the committee together
last night to consider the ma Vet
commission bill. The committee
went Into the proposition thoroughly
and also called Into the conference
Theodore N. Case, 'president of the
Klamath county farm bureau, who
stated that he believed that the bill
would be ot Material benefit to the
tanners and stockmen. This togetner
with the Information which the com
mittee had at hand left the Impres
sion tha-the Mil, waa a very good
one ml. as soin"'aa farther laf ora
tion gets In from California, where
they have similar law, the com
mlttee, will report to the chamber
of commerce and recommend that
thl bill b favorably acted upon.
The legislative cdmmlttee of the
chamber of commerce is looking for
ward to the stenuous time of looking
tap the merits and demerits ot var
ious measures that will come up this
winter and asks the people of the
county to assist with Information re
garding any of these measures.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13. Increase ot

Tho Investigation was ordered bo-
causo ot a statement by Chief Medi

sleepless In many Instances where
they have been unablo to purchaso

beforo retiring and the "eye opener"
on arising, had rosorted to other arti
ficial and dangerous ways ot wooing
sleep. The desired relief he said, was
obtained through tho use ot the
quieting effects ot certain drugs.
Dr. Copeland. In Instructions to
the bureau of foods and drugs to be
gin an investigation Immediately, re
ferred to most ot the drugs about
which complaint has been made of
ficially, as "treacherous somnifa
cients," 15 grains of one ot which,
he said, were sufficient to cause
death. He admitted that, fatalities
from the use ot these drugs were
"altogether too frequent."
Dr. Morris declared that deaths
from, sleep-producing drugs occurred
In hospitals gnd In wbat formerly
