Want More Details. Washington, Feb. !). The state de partment must know more details about the case in which German Consul Bopp of San Francisco, Vice Consul Von Schack, Chancellor Kaufmann and Tur kish Consul Hail have been indicted be fore any decision will be made about cancelling their exequaturs, it was stated today. Copies of the indictments have been turned over to Secretary ot state Jnns ing. It is assumed he approved of the justice department s course in bring ing tiiem at San Francisco, as it hail been understood previously that the state and justice departments were co operating with each other in bomb and neutrality investigations. Justice department officials regard the Snn Francisco cases as baring two of the boldest neutrality violation mat ters since their investigation started Confessions of "Count" Van Kool bergen, now held as an alleged forger in ( anada, were the basis for the in dictments. Koolbcrgcn, it is alleged, was hired to blow up Canadian tunnels for the German consulate at San Fran cisco. He gave information too, about the "Sacrimento expedition," it is said. Other dues came from C. C. Crowley though he denied being other than a detective for the consulate. Crowley made certain statements, which are not revealed, when he was first arrested that aiiled the officers somewhat in working on the cases.

Modero, a bank clerk, was infatuated with the girl. He called at the house after all the family had retired, nnd demanded permission to sneak just a few words to her. The mother told him to return next day. Immediately he drew 'i revolver and shot himself through the heart. He left a note say ing he loved the girl until the last mo ment. Her father is a prominent at torney. Marion County Boy Qualifies as Marksman In U. S. Marine Corps In an official bulletin issued b headquarters.

Mr. Davey is of the opinion that no prison in the United States is far ther advanced along the lines of pris on reform than our home institution. In fact, the word "convict" is never uttered. The correct word is "prison er." Xo bad language is allowed. At present the penitentiary is tak ing care of 543 men and six women. In stead of fecliug a friendship for the officers, Mr. Davey thought that fully 95 per cent of the prisoners were iu sympathy with any prisoner who vio lates the rules, or attempted to escape i or endeavored to circumvent the man agement of the prison. No prisoner who values his lite will give informa tion regarding another inmate. The present penitentiary has many bad features, and one of the worst, ac cording to Mr. Davey, is the fact that I prisoners have no employment. With the present state laws, the state can not compete with free labor, although the products of eastern penitentiaries are s( Id here. "No management can be successful, unless employment is given the pris oners. Idleness makes them hard to handle," said Mr. Davey. "We should provide some kind of manufacturing to pay its way and keep the men busy." Regarding the privileges of the pris oners, the speaker said that the mar red men were permitted to write once a week and the Binglo men once a mouth, and even oftener, but there was no argument in favor of the unlimited writing privilege. The dungeon in the prison is used only in cases of murderous assaults within the prison walls and is merely a dark room. The Stillwater, Minnesota prison, said to be the best equipped penitentiary in the country also pos sesses a dungeon, and is regarded as a necessary- part of any state prison. "Not one out of 40 of the prisoners believe the officers are their friends," said Mr. Davey. "They hate the guards more than others as they come in contact, with the guards." The school question came up this month, and Mr. Davey told how 500 cards were printed and given to the prisoners, asking whether they would like to attend a school. Of this num ber, only 200 of the 554 prisoners took the trouble to make a reply of any kind. But with this start of' 200, the prison authorities hoped to soon estab lish a school, and have taken a room in the old foundry shop and fitted it up. The best educated prisoners will become the teachers and later on Ward en Minto expected to call on some of the principals of the city schools to see that things were started right. "Our prisons are filling with young men between the ages of 22 and 30, and these are mostly under sentence for obtaining money under false prc tnses," said Mr. Davey. "The de sire to get something for nothing, is tilling our prisons." KIDNEY DISORDERS QUICKLY RELIEVED Lending druggists everywhere are establishing new records in the sale of medicine. Believing that no medicine ought to be paid for unless it does the user some good they have adopted the plan of selling So I v ax, the standard kidney remedy, under a positive guar antee of quick relief from all kidney or bladder misery, or money back without a question. This speaks eloquently for the virtues of the remedy and already has created a wide-spread demand for it here in Salem. Hundreds of people in every walk of life have been ro lieved of the agonies attendant on weak, disarranged or elogged-up kid neys and bladder by this remarkable remedy. It is not just merely a kidney treatment, it is a medicine that aims to put the entire, painraeked body into normal condition and give vigorous health after the ninny painful disorders caused directly or indirectly by sick kidneys. A change for the better will be seen after the first few doses of Solvax and its continued use should tone up the entire system of improp erly working organs and give tho de sire to live and enjoy life to its full est. Solvax is considered by many the best kidney remedy on the market to day because it aims to cure by striking directly at the cause of all the trouble. The many pains and aches caused by improperly working kidneys cannot be permanently cured unless the cause is removed. Solvax is sold under a positive guar antee to refund the money if it does not cure. This is the strongest proof I '',at ran. e offered as to tho merit of j thf, medicine. ou are cheating your- self out of your slice of life if you do! not give Solvax a chance. Get it today' from Daniel J. Fry or any leading druggist in this vicinity. i the government service. j Leonard, who is a son of Mrs. Mary Owens, R. D. Xo. 2, Hubbard, enlisted; in the United States Marine Corps at its Portland recruiting stition on April; 2S, 1915, and is now serving with the' American Legation Guard in Teking, China, where he is having ninny inter esting experiences and adventures. Considering the fact that Owens is scarcely more than a recruit, his per formance in gunnery is considered by Marine Corps officials as little short of marvelous, and they expect him to break many marksmanship records be fore his enlistment expires. ic jjc Don't make Jnnk of it, if use- fill try Journal New Today. jjc ' OREGON. British Battleship Drake Said to Have Taken Rocn Near Burmuda New York, Feb. 9. The Globe to day said that a Bermuda message re ported that the British battleship Drake,, after a three hour fight, 200 miles northeast of Bermuda, had cap tured the German, cruiser Roon. The Roon was one of the vessels named as the possible captor of the British liner Appani recently brought into Norfolk. Two merchantmen, one of them arm ed, was said to have witnessed the bat tle. The Globe said it was unable to make public the source uf its message, which was as follows: "Drake here tod ay towing Roon. Took her two hundred knots east, northeast Bermuda, three hours run ning fight. Lost Danforth, eighteen men. Her losses about third. Struck as we came abeam. Two merchantmen with her, one armed. Took both. Brought here. Seagrave on sighting Roon said: 'Please God today I'll avenge Craddock.' Roon badly knock ed about. Thirty two officers, 718 men taken in the three prizes." Seagrave, mention above, is probably the captain who was with Admiral Craddock whose squadron was destroy ed by the Germans some time ago. Dan forth, the Globe said, was probably a lieutenant. The British consul here had no con firmation of the storv. but it was re garded as perhaps significant that the liritish embassy at Washington Satur day night informed the United Press that the captor of the Appam had been captured, but refused the source of its information.

OF MAILjEUVEREO Thousands of Pieces of Mail Sent Oyer Miles of Country Roads In order that the postoffice depart ment may secure data as to the exact 1 amount of mail carried by the rural; carriers, an order was issued notifying the nine rural carriers to keep a record i during the month of January of the! number of pieces delivered and col-j lected, the weight each day, miles trav-j eled, families served and tho number of boxes to which mail was delivered. The number of miles traveled by I the carriers does not differ greatly,! as the smallest milage is that of route' 2, C. W. Brasher, with 22 miles, and! the longest route, that of .lames Rem ington on route-1, with a little over 27 miles. Many things enter into the life of a rural carrier that does not show on the records. For instance, Lyman McDon ald travels in a iiillv country on route 3, and traveling up and down hills in the snow and rain of January was) rather slow business. Hence his work in time averaged 10 hours and IS min utes daily. The working time of Percy Piigh on route 7, a route over 23 miles long, only averaged six hours and 41 minutes, but Percy used an automobile and traveled along pretty fast. James Remington on route 1 col lected 13,ilrj pieces of mail last Jan uary, weighing 2,223 pounds but he had to work one hour ami 20 minutes longer every day that he did last Oc tober on account of the weather. He served 170 families with l.iti boxes and collected 2,21. pieces of mail which was 2Jv more nieces than last October. O. W. Brasher on route 2 found it better traveling with two horses part of the time and that is one more horse j than any of the other carriers, He de- hvered 13,4-12 pieces, weighing 203o pounds. He had to work on the aver age St honis and CO minutes daily, serv ed 240 families with 182 boxes. Al though this route is 22 miles long, he brought in only 1607 pieces of mail weighing 120 pounds during the month. Lyman McDonald, route 3, is the man who travels over 25 miles of hilly country. He delivered more mail thaii any of the carriers, although his 24,.r.r7 pieces did not weigh as much as the 18,1!5 pieces delivered on route six. He had a heavy singlo day's mail when ne (lenvereii nihil pieces. Mr. -McDonald's average hours were "the longest! of the nine, as he worked 10 hours and j !"! minutes average daily, lie heads! the list on his 'Mi families to serve; with 277 boxes. His route receives! more mail than any, but stands fourth I in the amount sent out. Or possibly hisj pitrons bring their own tint i 1 to town. At least McDonald only got 134 pounds liming last Janiiniy. George Litchfield on rnuto 4 does not bieuk any record, although he av erages up pretty well in the work to be! done. He travels a little over 21 miles! each day and his average daily work ! ing time is nine hours and forty-eight J minutes. He delivered 1S,74." pieces of mail, weighing 217.3 pounds. His heav iest day's work was when he carried nut 1241 pieces. His footsteps, or rath er hie mail wagon was welcomed by 2il4 fimilies, getting their mail' in 231 boxes. He collected 2012 pieces of mail weighing I"i7 pounds. James Albert traveling over 24 miles on route ", brought, in more mail than any of tlin boys. Possibly tiiis is because he delivers to all the insti tutions except the pen and state hos pital. Anyhow, he litis a big bunch of mr.il for the state institutions. Ho de livered 1(1,028 pieces last month, weigh ing 3,47.j po.iinis which was next to the heaviest mall curried out. His heavi est day's wt-rk was when 2 IS pounds Wfio delivered. It takes time to handle this mute as Mr. Albert averaged 10 hoeis and 111 minutes daily. He has fewer boxes than any, but tho state iiistitut.ons take a lot of time O. 1'isher on route (i covers nliotit -.i mm one-half miles on his daily travels. Although he delivered 18,1 '." io:imis, it was the heaviest mail of all. ai it weighed 3,H77 pounds. He is v.ch-Miied any old time by 220 families, who get their mail in 17.) boxes. I iT collected 2,4")H pounds of mail weighing ! who sprang from the Dragon's teeth I 1 2i! pounds. Mr. i'isher got nwnv wita'sown bv .lason.
