SENSATION At SALEM
Disbnrment Proceedings to Be Instituted
Against Silver 7ongued Thomas
H. Tongue.

SALEM, Or, Dec. 7. - Somewhat OF q
sensation has been created among the legal
fraternity of the State over the disbarment
proceedings which have been brought be-
fore the grievance committee Of the Oregon
Bar Association regarding Lawyer Thomas
H. Tongue of Hillsboro, who is also entitled
to wear Hon." before his name. Tongue
is the leading light of the Republican
party, ex-State Senator, and silver tongued
orator of all the campaigns, local or State.
The papers containing charges of unpro-
fessional conduct, which is criminallv
liable, are ready to be filed in the Supreme
Court, which is asked to disbar Tongue
from practice henceforth.
He is charged with mutilating records
in the contested Enthusiastically case OF
Edward Constable; of improper( infuenc.
ing and misrepresenting facts to the court
and resorting to subterfuges to gain his
points. The alleged act in mutilatlng the
records is punishable by fine and impris-
onment and probably disbarment 1t is
said Judge Whalley of Portland. who
will present Tongues case, will also
bring charges showing that Tongue is
guilty of other INSCRIPTIONS acts equally
unbecoming, and an instance is stated
where the verdict of the jury in the case
was made way with. 1t is said Tongues
case was passed unnotced at the last
meeting of the Oregon bar, and now the
Supreme Court will take it up.

FRESNO DEPUTIES WIN,
Judge Webb Decides That the
Salary of S. L. Hogue Must
Be Paid.
Two Contradictory Rulings Which the
Supreme Court Must Now Pass
Upon.

FRESNO, CAL, Dec. Elm the county.
deputy fight the deputies won in the pre-
liminary skirmish to-day. Judge Webb
decided in favor of the plaintiff in the case
of S. l.. Hogue, Deputy County Auditor,
Auditor is, therefore, commanded to issue
warrant for the salary of his deputy.
which he had refused to do in consequence
of the order of Judge Risley enjoining him
from issuing warrant for Deputy District
Attorney Fireman.
Judge Webb's opinion was in writing.
After reviewing the case in preliminary
wav he finds that the points needing de-
clsion are three: First does the law in
crease the compensation of the Auditor
after his election, does it confer on him
any special power, or does it delegate to
him or anybody else any authority that
could be exercised lawfully by the Legis-
lature only? The court readily disposed
of the first question in the negative.
AS to the second point. Judge Webb
considers that there's nothing in the law
regarding it to make it unconstitutional.
The court believes that an act fixing the
compensation of the Auditor OF counties
of the eighth class and giving the Auditor
a salary of $1,000 per annum and the right
to appoint deputy at salary OF $500 per
month TO be county charge are TO De
taken together as fixing the compensation
OF the Auditor of counties of the eighth
class; that it is not comforting upon the
Auditor any special privilege which is not
conferred upon such officers of other coun-
ties it is found that the compensation of
the Auditors of all counties is regulated,
while they are not of uniform amount, by
the Legislature in proportion to the duties
to be performed.
AS to the third proposition the court be-
lieves there is no attempt by the act relat
ing to it to delegate any power to any other
body, but it simply fixes the compensation
and does not delegate the right to perform
any duty or create any office, which it was
the. duty of the Legislature to do. The
court said that 1t might be that the Legis-
lature had fixed the compensation of the
Auditor at a figure that might be con-
sidered burdensome and unwarranted, but
with that the court had nothing to do.
The deputies are much elated over their
victory, but of course they still have mis-
givings as to what the Supreme Court will
do. AS the matter stands now, Judge
Risley has enjoined the Auditor from
issuing a warrant for the salary of one
deputy while Judge Webb has commanded
the Auditor to issue warrant for another
deputy.

Gratifying Progress Made by
the Carnival Executive
Committee.
A Monster Pavilion Is to Be Erected
at Cost of Ten Thousand
Dollars.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Dec cat meeting
of the executive committee of the Rose
Carnival last evening encouraging reports
were received from the various commit
tees. 1t was decided to accept plans for a
pavilion to be erected from Lenzen & Son,
architects. A lot Will be leased from the
Agricultural Society, and a pavilion to
cost about $4,000 erected. So far $500 has
been subscribed, and it is estimated that
from SD, 600 to $4,000 will be raised for
carnival purposes.
The proposition of Mr.. Dunno to sell
$40, 1000 worth of carnival tickets for Is per

pointed to draw up contract to that
effect.

DIR. RUGGLES TO INVESTIGATE.
Charges Preferred against the Found
Inns, Home Mdna1etnent.

IingS' Home Management.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Dec. 6-At the
meeting of the State Board of Examiners
to-day Secretary Markley stated that he
had been visited during the past week by
a committee which requested that the
board examine into charges made against
the management of the Foundlings' Home
in Sacramento, it being claimed that the
sanitary condition was poor and the food
insufficient and impure. Mr.. Markley was
instructed to notify DR.. Ruggles of Stock
ton, who is a member of the State Board
of Health, to examine and report at the
next meeting OF the board.
After allowing the usual monthly bills,
Secretary Brown called the Governors at
tention to the fact that the upper portion
of the Capitol building was without pro-
lection in case of fire. He said that the
Chief OF the Fire Department had exam
ined the attic and reported that it would
be impossible to force water to such a
height through a hose, and that an iron
pipe, running from the ground to the up
per portion of the edifice, was needed. The
board ordered that the piping be laid.
When bill for a telephone in Labor
Commissioner Fitzgerald's office was pre-
scented. Governor Budd spoke very eulo-
gistically of the good work that had been
perfo r,ned by the Labor Commissioner in
having secured work for between 5000 and
1000 men.
A claim for $50 from the dairy bureau,
for the analysis to determine what poison
was contained in a cheese that had pois-
oned family in Oakland, was not received
with favor by the board, as the law which
governs the bureau provides that analysis
may be made to determine authorizations of
butter and cheese, but for the detection of
poison the police department was respon-
sible.
Secretary of State Brown called atten-
ton to the fact that there was over $40
600 lying unemployed in the State
treasury awaiting investment in bonds
for the benefit OF the schools.
A lot of Tehama County bonds were sold
recently. These the State should have
bought, as the interest at per cent would
amount to considerable. 1t was impossi-
BILE to buy bonds without the presence of
the Attorney-General, and it seemed i'm
possible for him to attend the board meet
Ings. The Governor stated that the Attor-
ney-General was very busy on the Railroad
Commission business. The Secretary OF
State concurred with him, but thought it
very necessary to invest the money as soon
as possible, as it would insure al income Of
some thousands of dollars

INQUIRY At PORTLAND.
Insurance Companies to Investigate the
BdtCnne0re affair.

Insurance Companies to Investigate the
BatCnnore affair.
PORTLAND. Or, Dec. 6.-There seems
to be day of reckoning at hand for the
captain of the ill-fated Bawnmore and the
residents of Curry County will not worry
over it. 1t seems that the captains per-
sonal effects on board-including the sex
tant, chairs and rugs, over the stealing of
which there was so much trouble-were
insured for $4,000 in case of total loss. The
captain is now trying to collect the insur-
ance, claiming that everything was lost.
The insurance company thought differ
emily, however, and has started an inquiry,
having heard that things had been taken
off the vessel and afterward sold.
The insurance on the cargo was paid by
the insurance companies and they natur-
ally want to know if any one removed the
goods and sold them without authority to
do so.

letter had blank bill attached, asking me
to fill it inP''
That has never been done, has it2"
interrupted Attorney Laidlaw.
NO." replied the Governor; and then
he added, emphatically, "and l don't
think it ever will be. Mr.. Donahue. you
worked about four days and you want the
State to pay you $1,000. What do you base
your claim on?"
Il base it on the fact that the State paid
Professors Marks and Soule $1,000 each for
their investigation, which, in my opinion,
was not as good as mine"
Perhaps they did get that amount"
said Mr.. Budd, "but they did six weeks OF
actual testing, weighing the foundation
heavily, and you did four days boring,
and then reported that the sand used in
mixing the cement was Of loamy, useless
character. 1t was not necessary to have a
$3.50 man TO find that out. Mr.. Brown"
said the Governor, turning to the Secre-
tary of State, II wish to state to you that
Mr.. Donahue did say to me that he would
do this expert work without any compen-
sation whatever, and he now brings IN

some work IN Stockton, and when he said

came to San Francisco and l went to see
you and you introduced the matter"

will say that if i was ever in San Fran
cisco and you did not come near me

did good work for me during the cam

sonally from me l would pay it out of my

legations in my capacity as Governor of
the State. 1 could have secured lots of
men who would have done the work you
did for 500. l shall refer this claim to the
Attorney General, and l want to say, Mr..

NEWS OF Los ANGELES,
Stenographer Cherry's Lawyers
Throw a Bomb Into
Court.
Jurors Startled by Decision of the
Mileage Question-Heavy Oil
Shipments.

LOS ANGELES. CAL, Dec. 6-When
the arraignment of Frank w. Cherry, the
shorthand reporter under indictment on a
charge of perjury, was called in Judge
Smiths court this morning Cherry's attor-
neys, Messrs. Davis and Rush, had O
formidable row of lawbooks before them,
and it was evident that they had surprise
In store for the court. Cherry was ac-
cused of having sworn to claims for steno-
graphic services rendered in various courts
which, the Grand Jury experts claimed, were
III excess of what they should have BEEN
and Cherry had received the money in
payment therefor. Six indictments were
returned against him alleging perjury in
each case.
After Cherry was arraigned Mr.. Davis
presented demurrer to the indictment,
which was somewhat of bombshell to
the prosecution. The demurrer set up the
ground that the indictment did not state
public offenses, because there is nothing in
the statutes requiring stenographer to
swear to his claims. He was not paid by
claims, but the code provided that his bill
must be certified to and ordered paid by
the Judge of the court in which the SER
vices were performed. His having sworn
10 THIS is purely surplusage. Davis claimed
that an oath not being required by law it
was not material for one to be made, and
the charges against Cherry of perjury fell
to the ground
Judge Smith said that if it was true that
the oath was not material the position
taken by counsel was correct and the in
dictment would fall.
Mr.. McComas of the District Attorneys
office stated that it was very important
ho Il !
before proceeding further under the in
dictments, because it would be useless to
go on with them if the contention of the
defense WIGS sustained. Judge Smith said
