Prci- idcnt-EIWi, Woodrow Wilson holds the distinction here today of being tho first to receive a package by tho new parcels post system. Postmaster Robin- son, by Bpecinl arrangement, kept his oltleo open after mid- night to receive two doston Jer- soy apples sent by tho Wood- row Wilson club, of Princeton. The package was delivered at tho Wilson home at 12:07 this morning. 1913 Was Given a Hot . - Reception It required several charges of Un clo Sam's good powder to fittingly celebrate the arrival of the New Year last night at the armory. Tho sol diers made things lively In front of the building with their rifles Just as the town clock tolled off tho hour of twelve and nearby residents were forcibly apprised of tho fact that 1912 was no more. Considerable amusement was occa ploned by some stranger rooming at the corner of Court and Liberty clrcots. II o bad apparently forgot to wake up, or his clock missed lire, as when everything was quiet after the New Year had arrived safely, ho broke out nnd created no small amount of excitement by firing off what he prob ably supposed to be a revolver, but which was in fact a young cannon. After whooping about the corner for some time, he finally discovered that no one else In tho city was making any racket, and he quickly slipped In out of sight. The greeting accorded the New Year in Salem last night was Bald to be about tho most enthusiastic one ever given It here. Artillery of every de scription belched smoke and noise, while church bells, steam whlBtles, tin pans and anvils made the atmosphere fairly shako when the eventful hour arrived. The city was orderly, how ever, and the police had no occasion to Interfere. Several kicks were made by people who were either aroused from a sound sleep or were taking no part In the genoral celebration. The usual "last drink" was largely In evidence and swearing off was fol lowed with wagers by many tempor ary well-lntenders. For the first time In the history of Salem, tho Chinese took part In the Ned Year celebration. They gathered In the street at the corner of High and Ferry and set off a number of monster bombs and several bunches of fire crackers. The brown men certainly enjoyed themselves In spite of the fact they eliminated the burning of punk and candles. ARTISANS, ATTENTION LEON RICE WILL SING After the regular meeting this even ing there will be a social given for the members and their friends. The open house will begin at the hour of 9:45, at which time an excellent musical and literary program will be rendered. Among the musical numbers will be several selections by Mr. Leon Rice, of New York City, who sings earlier in the evening at the First Christian church. Four Dead Is Toll of NewYear San Francisco Has Great Jubilation, but the Hilarity Proved Too Much for Some Two Suicides on Program UNITED P11EH8 LKAHHD W1IIB.1 San Francisco, Jan, 1. While thou sands of New Year's revelers are rest ing up' today after a night of merri ment, bidding the old year adieu and welcoming the new, three persons are dead. In the city morgue suicides and another is recovering from an at tempt to end his life. John Moyle, a young clerk, jumped from the third story of a downtown hotel, his body crashing to tho side walk In the very midst of a throng of merrliimkers. He was dead when picked up. Miss Grace Scolvllle was found dead In bed with a gas tube in her mouth when her mother and sister returned borne from the New Year's festivities. Ill health Is believed responsible. John Qulnn, a hermit, aged 00, was found dead In his shack from poison ing. Little is known about him. Paul Lcudtck, a laborer aged 30, drank acid while a party was In pro gress In the next room In his home. He will recover. Dentil Ends Joy Ride. Just after the old year had given its last gasp and tho revelers by tho thousands were making merry In Mar ket street, an automobile driven by Eugene B. Hallett and containing be sides himself, his wife and Mr. and Mrs. Jeromo Newman, was struck by a Btreet car and completely demolish ed. Mrs. Hallett was instantly killed and all three of the other occupants Welcome Little 1913 and Please be flood to All of Us The old year, 1912, has limped off the stage and is burled In the limitless graveyard of Time. To some it brought joy and peace, plenty and comfort, their hopes were realized and their paths lay through verdant meadows, flower-decked fields and in pleasant ways. To others it brought sickness and sorrow, death and parting, bhsled hopes, severed friendships and bitter disappointments. Such Is Life, and such the apparently unequal lot of num. And yet, looking back over the year, few of any can fall to find something for which to feel grateful, At first glance tills may not seem true, to those who have suffered and lost, but this Is because their eyes have been blinded to the good things, the pleasurable things, by the hard pressing hand of grief and disappointment that so predominated as to blot them out and make them be forgotten. Yet all these will pass away and this and oncoming years will soothe and soften-and rob the mem ory of its bitterness. Even as the green moss covers the barren I ock and clothes it in perennial ver dure, so does kindly Time wiih gentlo fingers cover and make beautiful, even our sorrows. What a divine provision it Is that we cannot re-suffer pain; that the keen poignancy of grief cannot be experienced, In memory, We can romember our pains, our sorrows, our bereavements, but we cannot the second time feel their poignancy. If we could, they would accumulate until life became unbearable. On the other hand, we can re-live our pleasures. We can enjoy In memory almost as keenly as In realization the happy things, tho friendships, the joys that have come to us. And so as the years puss, and gray hairs come on, we realize that It Is a good old earth, a kind old mother to her children, and loving even when chastising us. The Capital Journal today sends Its greetings to all; and hopes and wishes a happy and most pros perous New Year and many more to all to readers. It is their home paper, sharing in their sorrows nnd pleasures, recording their home lives. It is a family record, telling of birth, and marriage and death, of the dally happenings In tho community, sorrowing In their sorrows, rejoicing with them in such happi ness as comes. And so today it shares with them in the kindly New Year's 'sentiments and wishes one and all a prosperous and a joyous year. Nine Miners Entombed. Taiuaqua, Pa., Jan, 1.

WEXFOKD MANAGEMENT TREATED THE PRISONERS The prisoners at the state peniten tiary for an hour, between 10 and 11 o'clock this morning, enjoyed a vaude ville show, given by experts from the Wexford theatre.

The Japs Attacked Captain Jap Sailors on Steamer Manchu Maru Split Cap3 tain's Head With Shovel, in Harbor at Portland Portland, Ore., Jan. 1. With 25 stitches covering an ugly scalp wound, Captain Don Salter, of the Oriental freight steamer Manchu Maru, is in a crltlcfr.: condition In a local hospital today, following an attack on hlra by the Japanese crew of the vessel, after breaking out of the hold, where they had been imprisoned to prevent deser tions. Two of the crew are under ar rest, and more arrests are expected. Captain Salter, who was the only white man aboard tho vessel, which is anchored in the Willamette river near the city, was on the bridge when the Orientals, rushing on him 25 strong, laid open his head with a Bhovel, and continued to beat him with revolvers. The scuffle attracted harbor police men, who quelled the mutiny, and hastened Salter to tho hospital. Three Marriage Licenses. Three marriage licenses were Is sued yesterday by County Clerk Allen just as the lust working day of the old year was coming to a close. Those securing the licenses are: Chas. M. Justice, aged 17, and Lenora GrnceJ jReed, aged 15, both of Salem; Arthur Brodenson and Hnnna Ioats, both of t'alcm, and Henry W. Hall and Ella E Gibbons, of Woodburn. The first mentioned couple wore married by County Judge Bushey. These applicants are the youngest re corded for some time, the bride bare- I )y being of the age required by law. MM Cure Them Titles. London, Jan. 1. New Year's gifts In the shape of two peer- ages, seven baronetcies and 18 knighthoods nre conferred here today, according to custom, the rewards going to officials, man- ufacturers and merchants. The arts, literature and the stage being ignored entirely. Sir George Sydenham Clark, a dls- tlngulshed Indian official, and Sir George Kemp, a wealthy former member of parliament, are tho two new peers. Will Make About $60,000 is needed for the re modeling of the present state caplto) building, and Secretary of State 01 cott, custodian of the building is pre paring to take complete advantage of that sum if It is appropriated by the legislature. A further appropriation will be asked for the completion of the ar.nex. A lnrge amount of space In tho pres. tnt building will bo left at the dispos al of the custodian when the supreme court chambers, tho judges' offices and the state library, tho attorney-gener- ul's force and probably the state print ing plant vucato the Bpace now occu pied by those departments and take up their abode In the new building. It is proposed to divide up the pres ent library room into small rooms for the use of legislative committees. The slete treasurer will probably be mov ed to tho first floor and occupy the space now use by the stato land board nnd the capital furnace. The stato lund board would then go to the sec ond floor where the treasurer Is now located. Secretary Olcott hopes to go to the first floor and occupy the space new held by the state printing plant. He plans to Install a wicket system of booths for hlB employes, thus do ing away with the present open office system which allows the public access to the quarters occupied by stenogra phers and clorks. There is talk of moving the state library commission to the first floor. This department has more freight shipments than any other department and is farthest located from an en trance to the building, so that it Is very Inconvenient, when freight is to be moved to or from the department If tills department ses down stairs, the state educational dejartment will probably occupy the space upstairs now used by the commission. The railroad commission may also go up stairs. SMALL CHANCE FOR KING OR TEAL According to the morning dispatches Senator Chaniber'aln Is not optimistic ns to the probability of a western man being appointed on Wilson's cabinet as secretary of the Interior. The senator Cfilled ujmn the president-elect yes terday to advocate the naming of W. It. King or J. N. Teal, of this state, to the place, but received little encour agement. In fact Mr. Wilson Indi cated the selection would probably be made from the middle west. From tl.lB It would seem that tho president elect has more appreciation of the voters of Oregon than he has for the abilities of its Democratic leaders. Changes in Capitol Arrive at Pen. This Morning Many of the Prisoners Broke Down and Wept When They Reached the Prison" A Truly Pitiful Scene UNITED ritlCSS LEASHD Willi. J Leavenworth, Jan. 1. As the train carrying the convicted dynamiters ap proached the prUon this morning, Olat Tveitinoe studied the building closely with a Bad look on bis face. All jok ing ended, many of the prisoners broke dqwn. Ryan and Tveltmoe probably appreciated their position more keenly than the others. Their faces were haggard, and Ryan cried like a child. Painter's eyes were sunken, and his frame shook with sobs When searched at the prison an Eng lish cop' of tho Rublat of Omar Khay ynn, Inscribed by Anton Johunneson, was found on Tveltmoe. Ho begged to be allowed to retain It, but this was denied. The men were permitted to keep what cigars they had, '.nit were forced to give up cigarettes. Michael J. Young, of Boston, reluc- I tantly gave up a rosury, and ChiMei Ileum, of Minneapolis, wept oontinu- ally. Ileum, Wnchmelster, Houllhnn. Pnln i ter and Anderson were unable to con 1 cenl their feelings, weeping most of the time. Wnchmelster was the man to bo listed. Several rosaries aud pictures of wives and othor members of their families were taken from the prison ers. As Hockln entered the room to bo searched he glanced into thrt faces of the prisoners, but met only stony stares and scowIb. After the prison ers were searched they were photo- grnhed in their own clothes, each was given prison garb and another photo graph as then taken. ENTERPRISE CHURCHES ARE CONSOLIDATED UNITED I'UESS LEASED WI11E. Enterprise, Ore., Jan. 1. Three of the four ProteBtaut church in Enter prise consolidated, at a moss meeting of members held on Sunday In the Bup- S tlst church. Tho fourth church, the Baptist, asked another week to consid er the matter, as the meeting at which It was discussed was not attended by a sufficiently large proportion of the membership to warrant final action. Those In the federation are tho Pres byterians, Methodists and Christian churches. The united church is to be known in formal phrase as Tho Federated Church of Enterprise.

During the- year of 1912 County Clerk Allen issued W0 marriage li cense, or just seventy-one more than Were recorded in 1911. Clerk Allen slates that this Increase Is great, and that lor Die some period of time, shows a healthy gain over any pre vious year since he has been In the office. It required several large vol umes to record the licenses for tlia past two years.
