INGLEsIDE ROBBERY.
Judge Conlan Announces That He May
Not Preside at the Preliminary
Examination.

Judge Conlan announced from the
bench yesterday that he would not preside
at the preliminary examination on Janu-

charged with the robbery at 1ngleside.
AN article was published in The CALL
yesterday" said the Judge, 'in which am
made to say that | had agreed with the
police to hold the defendants, even though
the evidence might not warrant such a
course.
II never made such a statement. which,
if true, would have shown that | had be-

was 10 give the defendants fair and inn
partial hearing and be guided en-

statement published, which was entirely
unwarrsnted, l think it would be better
for another Judge to preside"
After court had adjourned r. Porter
Ashe, attorney for Gardiner and Welch,
saw the Judge in his chambers and urged
upon him to reconsider his decision, assur-
ing him that he would rather have him
preside than any of the other Judges.

THE CAY TERPSICHOREANS
Their Annual Party Given in

Night.
A Pretty Cotillon Followed by a Sup.
per of the Best-Those Who
Danced.

The young ladies who comprise the club
called the Terpsichoreans gave their an
nual party at Odd Fellows Hall last even
ing. The affair was one of the most sue
cessful society functions of the present
season. The young ladies are all pupils of
Miss Vests school, and though young in
years showed that they were well versed
In the requirements of party.
The decorations of the ballroom were
most artistic and suited to the occasion
and the company. The cclors used were
OF the lighter hues with a dark back
ground of green's. The galleries were fes-
which were garlands of evergreens, and
above all pretty blue and white fan crea-
tions.
From the ceiling were pendent pink,
blue and white streamers, to which were
attached Japanese lanterns. The stage
was mass of plants, ferns and flowers
and over all was canopy of gauze. Red
shades covered the gasiets, giving pretty
effect. The Railways were canvased and
punch and lemonade were dispensed from
tables placed near the entrance.
The guests were received by Mrs. Charles
NJ. Keeney, Mrs. William Alvord and Mrs.
Brakeman, who acted as chaperones for
the young ladies.
The cotillon was started at 8 o'clock
with the figure of 'GIiding Lines" Mr.
Greenway led with Miss Ethel Keeney.
Tho first figure was followed by the Fig

Fred Carlson Arrested for Obtaining

son with obtaining goods by false pre-

Monnier alleges that few days ago he
advertised his saloon for sale. Carlson
called in to answer to the advertisement
and entered into negotiations for the pur-
chase OF the saloon. He produced five
bonds of 500 each of the Wheeling Turn
pike Company Of Muncie, Ind, which he
said were worth their face value anywhere
He had just cut off the January coupon,
and three coupons were left, each repre-
senting SS 80 interest.

went to A. Borel & Co. with the bonds,
who told him they were not of much &C

AS 1t was determined to close the party
at a seasonable hour the supper was served
at II 80 o'clock. The lower hall where
the tables were set was made warm and
comfortable by canvas spread on the floor
and portieres over the doors, preventing
all drafts.
The dancers again sought the ballroom,

Other influences were brought to bear
on Superintendent Babcoek, however and
be decided that as Mr.. Knox seemed to be
acceptable to the majority he would name
him. Before the secret session was merged
into the open meeting Director Clinton
took occasion to remark that he under
stood that at the next regular meeting of
the board the intention of the majority
was to reorganize the committees so as to
give the minority very little representa-
tion.
He was assured that the majority ia
vored harmony and that few if any radi-
cal changes would be made.
When the board was called to order by
President Dodge Superintendent Babcock
officially announced the nomination of
Mr.. Knox, who was confirmed by the en-
tire board with the exception of Director
Barrett, who voted no.
In the caucus Director Henderson tried
to open discussion on the matter of
leasing the Lincoln School property. He
intimated that Director Carew had in
spired certain newspaper articles intimat-
ing that he was in collusion with q syndi-
cate desiring to obtain control of the
entire tract, and that lis advocacy of the
abolition of the Lincoln and Webster
schools arose from this interest.
Director Carew denied responsibility for
every newspaper article that happened to
appear and refused to make public de-
NAL. as demanded by Mr.. Henderson. On
Director Henderson declaring that he
would insist on retraction, Director
Carew shouted that he would not be intim-
idated, and first class row seemed brew
ing until President Dodge declared the
matter out of order. The same course was
followed in the open meeting, and the
matter will not come up until the next
regular meeting, when lively time is

Southern Pacific lines and via Yaquina
Bay routes, water and rail.
The circular contains this entereSting e
information to shippers:
1t is the existence of the route via Yaquina
that has enabled San Francisco merchants to
reach this territory We're we depending en-
tirely upon the rail lines and without this
active measure of competition to control the
all rail rates from San Francisco, the difference
in distance in favor of Portland would result in
securing entire control OF the trade TO that
city.
Accompanying the bulletin is a schedule
OF rates from the Western classification to
Albany, Tangent, Shedds, Kelsey. Muddy
Harrisburg. Junction City, Lupers, Iry-
ings, Eugene, Henderson, Goshen, Cres-
well, Walkers, Cottage Grove, Latham,
Divide, Comstock, Hudson, Roseberg,
Ashland and other points in Oregon
reached by the Yaquina and Southern Pa
cific routes. These figures were given ex-
clusively to THE CALL, and show a wide
margin in favor of the water and rail
route via Yaquina Bay.
What the effect of this expose of the
rates between San Francisco and the Will
lamette Valley will be is awaited with IN
tie rest by Traffic Manager Curtis 1t is
thought that the Southern Pacific Com
pany will have to reduce its figures, and in
that event rate war between the two
transportation companies may be precipi-
tated
