VISITEDNEW BATHS 411 Were Pleased With Up-to-Dateness and Modern Conveniences Salem flocked to the new Denisou bath house at the foot of State street yesterday and was captivated. At least 150 men, women and children visited the plant as the guests of the manage ment. The provisions made for dressing came in for much favorable comment. Each patron has a commodious dress ing room, well ventilated and electrical ly lighted. And each room has an indi vidual lock with the patron in posses sion of the only key that will open the door. The thirsty ones were particularly struck with the sanitary fountain which supplies ice water while the shower baths made a hit with others. The skeptics who thought there might be some danger to children who visited the place unattended were agreeably surprised. An instructor is present at all times and looks to the comfort of the children as well as to the pleasure of the grown-ups. From now on an admissiou fee of 25 cents is to be charged which will pay for everything, including a bathing suit. Swat the Fly Much discussion has made ub familiar with the work of the common house fly. A few years ago there were ques tions sent out in all the principal cities of this and other countries which put the matter before us quite clearly. Here is the list, with a few slight changes: Where is tile fly bornf In manure and filth. Where docs the fly livef In every kind of filth. Is there anything too filthy for the fly to eatf No. Where does he go when he leaves the vault and the manure pile and the spit toon t Into the kitchen and dining room. What docs lie do then? He walks on the bread, fruit and vegetables; he sticks iu the butter; he swims in the milk. Does he visit, the patient sick with consumption, typhoid fever and cholera infantum f He does, and may call on you next. Is the fly dangerousf He is man's worst pest, and more dangerous than wild beasts. What diseases does the fly carry t He carries typhoid fever, tuberculois and summer complaint. Howt on his wings and hairy feet. What is his cor rect namef Typhoid fly. Did he ever kill anyone? He killed more American soldiers in the Spanish American war than all the bullets of the Spaniards. Where are there the most cases of these diseases? where there are the most flies. Where are there the most flics? Where there is the most filth. Why should we kill the fly? Because he may kill us. How would we kill the fly? Destroy all the filth about the bouse and yard that we can; pour lime on the rest; kill him with a wire screen paddle or sticky tiy paper or kerosene oil. Kill tho fly in any way, but kill the fly. The mosquito is closely allied with the fly. His favorite breeding place is stagnant water; an uncovered rain bar rel is all he wants to grow and thrive. South Dakota Farmer. Attorneys for Orpet Ask for Acquittal Courtroom, W'aukegan, 111., July 8. With all rebuttal evidence completed in Will Orpet 's trial for Marion Lam bert's murder, the defense late this afternoon asked Judge Donnelly to take the case from the jury and dis charge the prisoner. Lengthy argu ments followed but Donnelly had previously indicated he wolld refuse to grant the motion. ' - The ease is expected to be in the jury's hands no later than next Thurs day night. Orpett himself is confident of acquittal, or, at the worst, a jury disagreement. Dr. Ralph J. Webster, chemist, who was the state's most convincing wit ness as a poison expert was cross-examined by the defense today to break down his'story that it was cyanide of potassium that was found in the Orpet green house and not cyanide of soda, as the defense experts had contended. Marion's death was due, all admitted to cyanide of potassium. The state called Fred and George Wombam, undertakers, and Frank Blakeslee, court reporter, who testified today that the "three spots" on Mar ion's coat were there shortly after Marion's body was found. . Carl L. Kraft, a Lake Forest druggist, said he had sold Orpet 's father potassium in December. The defense called the elder Orpet in sur-rebuttal, to clear up vague points regarding his purchase of cyanide for gardening purposes, after the state rested its rebuttal. Hurricane's Toll . j Estimated at 1ZU i Biloxi, Miss., July 8. The loss of life in the hurricane that swept the I gulf coast Wednesday and Thursilay i is expected to xeach more than one ! hundred, according to reports reaching here today. Scores of scnoons carry ing more' than 120 persons are still unaccounted for. The missing schooners put to sea on tiie day of the storm and have not ! been heard from since then.

Some persons hold hopes the crews of the various boats had landed on the Says Villa Is Marching To ward Border to Raid Across the Line El Paso, Texas, July 8. Villistas are rushing toward the Big Bend country to raid American towns, according to in formation received here. Sweeping across the Chihuahua wastes from Falomir, toward LaMula pass, a band of Villistas of unknown strength is reported to be moving to wards Ojinaga and the small American settlements in the Big Bend border country. The bandits are believed to be the same of whom Carranza warned Secre tary Lansing. Carranza intimated that his troops may not be able to prevent the raiders striking the American towns. The Villistas left Falomir yesterday. The band is being joined by smaller groups that have been operating in that section. Many Carranzista deserters are reported to have joined the raiders. According to the reports received here the Villistas are well armed, have plenty of ammunition and are well mounted. Apparently by preconcert the Villista bands gathered at Falomir for the movement northward toward LaMula pass. Other Bmall bands are known to be at Picnchas, Las Vegas and along the southern slopes of the Sierra Grandes. It is believed the mountain groups will reinforce the raiders at the pass. News of a Carranzista movement to intercept the bandits has not yet been. t j i rcceivea nere. Will Tell Experience In European War One of the 11 survivors of a regiment oi isu men wno were sent into France by Great Britain, Lieutenant Charles W. Niemeyer, will relate his experiences at tne opera House on the evening o July 14. Lieutenant Niemeyer was a victim of tne first German gas attack at Ypres from- which he has been recuperating. He is staying at the home of his father-in-law, W. A. Liston, of South Four teenth street. The Forty-fifth, Niemcyer's regi ment took part in the battle of Mons, the Marne and the Aisne. Tho lieuten ant was confined to the hospital for several weeKs because of shell shock and later got in the way of the Ger man gas which affected one lung so mat ne was rendered unfit for trench service. The present gigantic drive of the al lies was foreseen months ago by British officers, according to Niemeyer. He declares that the British and French have piled up munitions and war sup plies sufficient to maintain the pres ent operations until winter makes furth er activity impracticable. Tomorrow night at the First Conerc- gational church Lieutenant Niemeyer will give a talk in connection with war films that are to be shown. Mrs. Niemeyer was formerly Miss Blanche Liston, of this city. She at tended Willamette university and spe cialized in elocution, being known here as a public reader of more than usual ability. To Test Authority of State Commission Judge Galloway today issued a tem porary injunction against the state public service commission on petition of Jesse Stearns, secretary and counsel for the Central Oregon Irrigation com pany. The commission is requested to appear before the court on July 19 and show cause why. the writ of prohi bition should not be made permanent. This will be an important case in that it is a test of the jurisdiction of the public service commission over Carey act projects. The compnny con tends that it is not a public utility but an agent of the state and under the supervision of the stae desert land board and not under that of the com mission. The commission intended to hold a hearing into the rates and ser vice of the company but is now. pre vented until the present matter is set tled at least. The irrigation project is located in Crook county and gets wat er from the Deschutes river.

That Germany is showing renewed submarine activity was evidenced in a state department message today from Consul General Skinner at London, transmitting Lloyds reports, which stated that more than four times the usutl number of ships had been torpedoed in the past month. Skinner's message reads: "Lloyds reports Norwegian Acuita torpedoed June 1$. Captain vessel France Et Russie reports that subma-, rine which sank his vessel was U-202. 1 British steamer Jannet sunk.

Phono 8L Full Equipment Purchased and Will Be Placed In the Bosse Mill The Oregon Flax Fiber' company a preliminary organization that in time may become one of the greatest insti tutions in the Willamette valley, has been organized, with Theodore Roth, president; Edward Schunke, secretary and treasurer, and Emil J. Hansett, the man who knows more about flax than any man in the northwest, as superin tendent. A full equipment of machinery has been purchased at Chehalis, Wash., in cluding scutching machines, breakers, a thresher, carding machines, baler, dc coricator and scutching wheels. This machinery, a carload, arrived in the city a few days ago and is now ready for installation in the buildings known as the Bosse flax mill east of the Ore gon state hospital. This machinery is of the latest design like that used in tho mills of Dunkirk, Ireland and if brought on the market today would involve an expenditure of about 8,000. Within two weeks, the machinery will all be set up and work of retting will begin at once, and as soon -as dried, will be manufactured into fiber. The company has been formed, the machin ery is here, and within two weeks, ac tual work will begin. Four cars of flax straw are stored at the Bosse place. In discussing this enterprise, which Mr. Roth believes will ultimately de velop into one of the big things of the valley, he said that while small at pres ent after it has been demonstrated what can be done, the greater organization will follow. What is of more importance to the farmers and to the community in gen eral, is the fact that by next year, Mr. Roth hopes to have his plant ready to manufacture fiber on a large scale and to assure the farmers a market for all tuey can raise.

Co Will The Music and Sewing Machine Dealers csciia&onaDQaQss;acacii Will Stop Any Neutral Ship Any Where That Carries Contraband Stuff London, July 8. King George today issued a royal order in council, with drawing all previous orders in council under the Declaration of London and announcing new principles under which the blockade of Germany will be con- ducted. The new order in council stipulates that the hostile destination of any ship carrying contraband of war is prosumed until contrary is shown. This Btipulat tion permits British war shins to hold up suspected neutral ships, which must then show proof that their cargoes are not ultimately destined for enemy coun ties to avoid seizure. The principle of continuous voyage and ultimate destination will apply to contraband in ships passing the block ade. Any vessel is liable to capture and condemnation by a prize court if its cargo is more than one-half con traband. Any neutral ship can-vine contra band, but which evades capture by showing papers indicating a neutral des tination and then proceeds to an enemy port, will be liable to capture on her next voyage in the prescribed area.

STRIKE HAS CLOSED E Out For a Month Iron Miners Seem No Nearer Winning Demands Virginia, Minn., July 8. Five hun dred striking iron ore miners at Aurora, Biwagik, Mesaba, McKiulcy, Elba, Gilbert, Genoa, Eveleth. Vi rffinia. Buhl, Kinney, Nashwauk, Bibbing and inruuioim xoaay seemed littlte nearer solution of their strike than one month ago, when the differences that have caused three deaths and four injuries, started. Practically every underground prop erty in the Mesaba iron ore range is closed, Open pits are working a few men with steam shovels, but the ma jority of mining on the range is under ground. County Attorney Warren Green to day said he would charge agitators of the strike that resulted in the killing on the range, with first degree murder. Picketing continued today with hundreds of miners keeping watch but without riots. All of the vast territory affected is in one county Sheriff John Meining has one thousand armed depu ties who fairly well control the situa tion. Elizabeth Curley Flynn and other leaders, "Big Bill" Haywood, I. W. W. leaders from Chicago promised, were expected on the range late today. Sheriff Meining asked that these not come. The absence of any agitators and the disarmament of all except bis 1,000 deputies, he said today, would probably solve the difficulties. Miners todny asked for a conference with operators. They claim they are willing to submit arbitration to a board of arbitrators, that they will modify demnnds and not demand recog nition of the I. W. W. Practically every strike leader was in jail at Dnluth todny. The kitchen and rear of the home of Tom Kobiuch, miner, was blown away by dynamite at 3 a. m. today.
