The American 'States are soon to hold an international conference at Buenos Ayres and it is expected the matter will receive s'otne attention, It is not expected that this attention will crystalize in the form of resolu tions, but it is pretty generally expected that the South and Central American" States will make known their feelings toward the United States in some way. tions of belligerentSi Foreigners equally with citizens are subject to the contingencies of these operations." Madriz.not only meant this to be communicated to the American gov ernment, but has protested to every Central and South American govern ment against the attitude of the Unit ed States.

f. The United States will be well rep resented at the Buenos Ayres confer ence. The following well known Americans will be there in the inter ests of this government: Henry White, ambassador to Italy and later to France; Dr. John Bassett Moore, a renowned authority on in ternartonal law; Enoch Herbert Crow der, of Misouri; Lewis Nixon, of, New York; Bernard Moses, of California Lamar Charles Quintero, of Louisi ana; Paul Samuel Reinsche, of Wis. cousin', and David Kinley, of Illinois.

Latin-American Alliance Talked. Some of the more radical South American leaders favor the forma tion of a Latin-American alliance against the United States. But this development is not expected. The feeling has originated over the attitude of the United States toward President Madris of Managua during the recent hostilities in Central America. The American marines prevented an attack on Bluehelds by the Mbdriz forces on the ground that there were extensive American interests there.

Later the Venus was prohibited by American officials, from firing upon Bluefields. According to international law," said Madriz in a note to the Ameri can consul at Managua, "no neutra) government may impede or disturb in time of war legitimate military opera- Woodworth WIU Provide Red Cross Emergency Tent. One of the most unique and useful feature of the forthcoming Albany Chautauqua Assembly is that planned by the Woodworth Drug who are making arrangements for placing a fully equipped Red Cross Emergency and Accomodation Tent on the grounds.

This will make possible the quick and adequate care of any person taken sick or injured during the Assembly, and is certainly a piece of enterprise on the part of the Wood-worth Drug which will be greatly appreciated. A boy in uniform will be constantly in attendance at the booth ready to carry messages at any time. Two ladv attendants will also be on hand to serve the public in every way possible, Dairy Inspector Meets Reslstenee Joseph Stroda who operates a dairy 3 miles south of Harrisburg was arrest ed by Constable Catlin and brought before justice swan wis weeit.

He ia bound to keep the peace till the next terra of court DIRECT PRIMARY Recognizes Weaknesses But In Main Believes Law Benefit COMMENDS ATTITUDE OF 60V. HUGHES IN SIGNED ARTICLE IN OUTLOOK EX-PRESIDENT OUTLINES VIEW ON PRIMARY LAW Anyone who doubts the attitude of ex-President Roosevelt toward the Direct Primary law has only to read the Ir.st number of the Outlook to have those doubts removed. In a signed article he deals with the situation in New York defending the policies of Governor Hughes and upholding direct legislation generally.

We give the article in part: "I believe that Governor Hughes has been supported by the bulk of the wisest and most disinterested people as regards most of the measures and positions and I think that this has been markedly the case as regards primary nominations. "I know that many honest and sin- 1 cere men are on principle opposed to Governor Hughes on this point and I know also that the proposed reform will very possibly accomplish less than its extreme advocates expect; while I am well aware, as of course all thinking men must be, that the worth of such measure in the last resort depends upon the character of thcSorers and that no, patent device will ever secure good government until the people themselves devote sufficient energy, time and judgment to make the device work. Some Evil Results Admitted. "Finally, I freely admit fhat here and there, where direct nomination has been applied iri too crude shape or wrong-headedly, it has, while abolishing certain evils, produced or accentuated others in certain cases, for instance, putting a premium upon the lavish expenditureof money, "But, while I freely admit all this, I nevertheless feel in the first place on the fundamental issue of direct primary nominations the governor is riarht. and in the second nlace that.

as the maesure finally came up for ac tion in the state legislature, it was well nigh free from all objections save those of the men who object to it because they are fundamentally op posed to any change whatever in the desired direction. "The bill provides only for direct popular action in the primaries in relatively small geographical and politi- cal communities, thereby making the experiment first where there was least liability to serious injury and avoiding deferring the task of dealing with those big communities where the difficulties and dangers to be overcome would be great. Leaders Reminded of Duty. 'We, the men who compose the great bulk of tbe community, wish to govern ourselves We welcome leadership, but we wish our leaders to understand that they derive their strength from us and that, although we look to them for guidance, we expect the guidance to be in accordance with our interests and our ideals. I believe that the people of New York state will In the end Insist on taking a more direct part in the nomination of candidates because I believe they will grow more and more to insist on just the kind of guidance and leadership that I have mentioned." Roosevelt Promises Aid Te Beveridie That ex-president Roosevelt will make at least one speech in Indiana In aid of Senator Albert J.

Beveridge, seeking re-election, is the announcement made by Mr. Beverage himself. Beveridge is one of the most promi nent and insistent insurgents. He op posed the tariff but pulled with Taft in other legislation, notably the Statehood BHL W. Kern former tVpyr nominee for vice-president Is the Democratic candidate for senator opposing Beveridge.

The fight is close sad the outlook nard to determine.

H. M. CROOKS Elected Platform Manages For the Albany Chautauqua Miss Inez Taylor and Wilbur Francis were drowned in the Willam-. ette river, three miles above this city about 8:30 Wednesday evening.

They were occupants of a launch containing five others who- were rescued by the heroic exertions of the mem bers of another launch party. Bodies Found at Midnight. The tidings were immediately brought to this city and parties start ed to the, scene of the drowning in search of the bodies. After dragging the riverfor some time the body of Mr. Francis was found at 11:45 last night and Miss Taylor was found at 12:15.

They were about 40 feet apart, in water not exceeding ten feet in depth. The members of the party belonged to. the "Tripple Club," an organiz ation composed of about 20 promi nent young people of this city. They had gone up the Willamette in three launches for an evening's outing. They had stopped for lunch just above the mouth of the Little Willamette.

At 8:30 the first of the launches started homeward. In it were Mr, and Mrs. Wilbur E. Francis, Misses Inez Taylor, Agnes Gibbons and Vel-ma Davis and Rollin G. Hackleman, alf of Albany, and Mrs.

Ray Beeson of Portland, a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Francis. The launch was not well balanced, the upper portion being too heavy, and in rounding a sharp bend it turned over, throwing all seven occupants into the water. Five Have Narrow Escape.

Mrs. Beeson and Misses Gibbons, Taylor and Davis caught hold of the boat and held on." Hackleman caught Mrs. Francis who was nearest him and swam ashore with her. The last seen of Wilbur Francis he was struggling wildly with the current. He went down before help could come.

Frank and Dave Froman, whehad charge of another launch, which was still tied to the bank, loosened it as quickly as possible and pushed out. to the rescue. Frank Froman succeeded in saving Misses Gibbons and Davis. Dave Froman 'reached Mrs. Beeson first and succeeded in getting her into the, boat.

The vote stood 617 to 376 in the general convention, i PRESIDENT M. Crooks, of evening by the Albany Chautauqua Association to the position of Platform Manager for the forthcoming Assembly. This puts practically the entire platform control in the hands of President Crooks, he having already been selected for the management of the Forum Hour exercises. The position of Platform Manager at a great Chautauqua is no sinecure, since it is essential for the person filling that position to have in mind every phase of the program, and to expedite the same.

President Crooks is well fitted for this responsible position and will take a special interest in doing good work at the Albany Chautauqua from the fact that he has been a warm advocate of the. Chautauqua in this city for some time past. The following persons will occupy seats on the platform during the opening exercises: Col. M. H.
