ZEPPELIN
CAMPAIGN
OPPOSED
ij l'nited Press.
Zurich Switzerland May 18. Hun
garians disapprove of Germany's Zep-
pelin campaign. They object to it
both on the grounds of humanity and
for what they consider Its useless-toss.
Newspapers received here from the
most important cities in Hungary are
almost unanimous in deprecating such
methods. They do not express them-
selves as freely as if there were no
censorship but they leave no doubt
that the Hungarian people oppose this
sort of warfare.
"By striking terror into the people
of England" says the Hirlap com
menting on Zeppelin activities "it is
thought that the government will suf-
fer but as we can now see clearly
the raids do not serve the purpose
they were intended for and only re-
suit In the annihilation of civilians."
The Pester Llyod and the At Ujsag
are exceptions. Both are strongly
pro-German and express themselves
concerning air raids much as does the
Berlin press.
Vienna and Budapest publications
speak also of the existence in Hunga-
ry of what are known in England as
"conscientious objectors" to military
service.
They are said to be almost without
exception of a religious sect called the
Nazarenes. While some English "con-
scientious objectors" have got off alto-
gether however and others have been
muBtered into "non-combatant corps"
most of the Nazarenes are said to be
serving terms of 12 years' imprison-
ment for refusing to join the solors.

CONTESTS TO
BE HEARD
ON JUNE 1
Republican National Committee Ordrs
Rival Delegations to Appear; Taft's
Call on Hughes Starts Political
Tongues to Wagging
By l'nited Press.
Chicago May 18. It was announc-
ed today that the Republican national
committee had ordered all contesting
delegations to the national convention
to appear on June l for the settlement
of contests including two Oklahoma
districts. It is planned to get the
hearings started speedily with a view-
to confining the work of the conven-
tion to three days.
The Chicago Tribune says that Re-
publican politicians in Washington
were thrown into a state of rare ex-
citement today by an exceedingly cir-
cumstantial report that Associate Jus-
tice Hughes of the supreme court has
admitted his willingness to become
the Republican candidate for presi
dent.
The jurist according to the story
made known his position on the ques-
tion to former President Taft who
arrived in Washington and testified
in the Riggs bank trial. It is said
that Mr. Taft called on Mr. Hughes
at the latter's residence and talked
for more than an hour with the man
whom he appointed to the supreme
court in 1910.
When this report gained general
circulation at the capitol this after
noon there ensued a stampede of Re-
publican leaders to get into confiden-
tial communication with Mr. Taft on
the matter. They found that the for-
mer president had left for New Haven
at noon.
When Mr. Taft arrives at New Ha-
ven he will find a stack of telegrams
from various and sundry national
statesmen imploring him to vouch-
safe them some information cabalistic
or otherwise on the burning question
of what Justice Hughes is going to do
or not going to do.
Although unable to verify their
hopes or fears as to Mr. Hughes' in-
tentions by personal communication
with Mr. Taft the Republican politi-
cians heard with unusual interest that
the former president as he stepped
aboard his train for New Haven au-
thorized the statement that he is for
the associate justice for the nomina-
tion and will do all in his power to
make him the candidate of the party.
This circumstance was generally
regarded as adding plausibility to the
report that Mr. Taft had conferred
with Mr. Hughes and obtained the
Jurist's views of the movement to
name him for the presidency.

Days of misery nights of unrest

Many readers will profit by the fol-
lowing: Mrs. N. M. Turner 612 E. Oklahoma

troubled for a long time with symp-
toms of dropsy. My body bloated
and I was generally run down. The
kidney secretions were too frequent
and burning in passage. Doan's Kid-
ney Pills did me a lot of good."
DOAN'S' NEVER FAIL.
OVER FIVE YEARS LATER Mrs.
Turner said: "I still use Doan's Kid-
ney Pills occasionally and the best
results always follow."

LAST INDIAN SLAVE DEAD
Schickulash Pete Had Lived for Many
Yean Among White People in
State of Washington.
At Hoqulam Wash.-r Schickulash
Pete believed to be the oldtst man in
the Northwest and the last of the
Grays Harbor Indian slaves has just
died at the age of one hundred and ten
years. 1
Another of the slaves John Kettle
died recently at the age of one hun-
dred and five and with the passing ol
Pete they have all now gone to the
happy hunting grounds the New York
Sun states.
The old Indian better known as
Humptulips Pete from the fact that
for more than thirty years he had
lived In the Humptulips valley was a
resident of Grays Harbor for 75 years
or since 1840 when he came with a
war party of Indians from the Colum-
bia river to attack the harbor Indians.
The invaders a Jarge band came
into the harbor in canoes and landed
at James Rock about six miles west
Df Hoquiam. There they camped fur
the night pulling their canoes high
ap on the beach to b oat of reach of
the tide.
During the night the Indians of the
harbor attacked the invaders and the
last big Indian battle of the Grays
Harbor district was fought there.
Most of the invaders were either
killed or captured only a few escap-
ing. The captjves were made prison-
ers and among their number were the
two Indians known after the whito
men came as Humptulips Pete and
John Kettle.
Both were freed by the Governor
Stovens treaty with the Grays Harbtir
Indians.
JURORS MADE OWN CARDS
Men Manufactured a Deck With
Which to Pass Away
the Time.
Playing cards dice and checkers all
of their own making was the experi-
ence of a federal court Jury in Se-
attle. The case was submitted .0 the
Jury ai four o'clock in the afternoon
by Judge E. E. Cashman. At six
o'clock unable to agree the members
of the Jury were taken to dinner and
after their return they deliberated on
the case untU two o'clock in the morn-
ing. Deadlocked by the action of one
member further consideration was re-
fused and one of the jurors called
upon Bailiff Tobey for a deck of cards.
The request was refused. Bailiff To-
bey Botlfled the Jurors that to com-
ply with it would be to violate the
law.
Thereupon It was decided to make
their own cards and ten of the juron
proceeded to build a deck of cards out
of the luncheon boxes in which they
bad brought sandwiches to the Jury-
room which they obtained following
their dinner and in anticipation that
Miey were in for a long session.
While fo'V then proceeded to play
pitch another member put his hand in
one of the pockets of the card player
where enough lumps of sugar were
found to make a set of dice he having
taken the auger while at dinner and
placed It in his colleague's pocket
without any Idea that he would find
uch use for it later.
Two more of the Jurors were yet tc
be supplied however and these lat-
ter decided on turning a blotter they
found in the room into a checkei
board which was immediately done a
dance program which hung on the
wall being cut up for use as check
era.
The nonassenting member of the
ury and one other decided upon a
sleep. There was no further delibera-
tion on the case the Jurors continu-
ing to play their games and sleep un-
til the opening of court the next
morning when they reported to Judge
Neterer that they were unable to
igree and they were discharged.
