pany. By a vote of strictly the Hill shares
and proxies, representing in combination
2.64s.OOO shares, Mr.. Hill elected Amos T.

and one of Mr.. HITS stanchest supporters),
to Mr.. Harriman's place on the board.
There was nc contest over Mr.. Harri-

man interests, including the $50. 100000 Of

Short Line treasury, was not voted at the

OREGON LAND FRAUDS.
Senator Mitchell Pleaded Not Guilty
to Three Charges.

Judge Berlingers court at Portland, Ore,
was crowded yesterday when the time ar
rived for Senator John H. Mitchell to plead
to four indictments found against him by
the late federal grand jury. In plea in
abatement Senator Mitchell challenged the
acts of the late federal grand jury by
charging specifically that Jurors w. Rob-
ertson and Carl Phelps, the original fore
man and secretary, respectively had been
illegally excused for the term pending the
Investigations; that Jurors Frank G. Buff
fon and George Peebler had been sworn in
some time after the grand jury had been
impaneled; that Juror George Gustin was
not citizen of the United States; that
Jurors Frank Bolter and Joseph Essner
were not taxpayers, as required by law,
and that District Attorney Heney was dis
qualified in many ways, besides being preju-
diced.
The plea in abatement was based upon
the case wherein Senator Mitchell is &C
cused of accepting pay through the law
firm of Mitchell & Tanner to expedite land
titles before the land department at WASH
ington in behalf of Frederick A. Kribs A
demurrer was first filed, after stipulation
between the government and counsel for
the defense that the plea in abatement
should not be waived by the filing of the
demurrer.
as attorney for Senator Mitchell, announced
that there was a question of moral turp-
tude involved in the case wherein Senator
Mitchell is accused of accepting $1,000 from
S. A. D. Puter, and therefore he would
waive all legal technicalities and be ready
to proceed to trial without delay upon the
issues at stake.
Judge Bennett entered a plea of not
guilty for the senator in three of the cases
against him-two for conspiracy under sec
ton $40 of the Revised Statutes and one
under section 1882 for accepting money
while holding the position of United States
senator to expedite title before the land de-
partment.
District Attorney Heney objected to the
J pleas in abatement on the ground of their
being filed too late. Hearing will be given
Friday.

POLICE TAKE CENSUS
Bluocoats Now Making Round
Of the City.
STARTED OUT TODAY
SINCE EARLY MORNING.
Many Amusing Incidents-Some Queer
People Officers Of the Law Run
Up Against.

Armed with big books, with pockets full Of
pencils and plenty of nerve, ffty-five po-
| licemen started out from the various pre-
cincts of the city between the hours of 8
and 8 o'clock this morning to begin taking
the enumeration for the first police census
Of the District in eight years. All day they
have been going from house to house, ask
ing the questions prepared for them by
Major Sylvester, chief of police, and tally
ing in the proper columns Amusing Incl
dents occur on the rounds. Many persons
are startled when they see a bluecoat at
their door, and those who are Of a suspi-
cious turn of mind and have not kept up
with the news of the day hesitate to an
swer for fear there may be some dark pur-
pose in the minds of the officers.
In work of this kind there are always
great number of people who for no APP
parent reason would rather not tell the po-
lice how old their children are; whether or
not they go to school, how many adults
live in the house and the other bits of in
formation upon which census is based
When pressed sometimes they are in
clined to pull the wool over the officers
eyes, if they can, believing sincerely that
they have a perfect right to say anything
SO long as they keep back the correct fig
ures. With these the utmost care had to
be taken to persuade them that it is their
uuly 10 answer COIltClIS AdJ
Sylvester has given his men particular in
structionS to make their records accurate.
There are other difficulties also. Being
admitted to one big house, the policeman
asked:
How many persons are there living here
who are over twenty-one years of age?
Goodness replied the willing lady who
had come to the door, Il haven't the slight
est idea
But, surely, madam, you can tell me, if
you only stop to think
Indeed, 1 can't. And besides, am real
busy now and you will have to excuse me-
Il am ordered to get the figures today,
madam, and l must insist that you try to
give them to me. You can count on your
fingers how many adults there are in the
house, telling the number of ladies and
gentlemen separately"

Georges family and Cousin Lily and Uncle
Harry, and then there are Arthur and John

CIRCUMLoCUTIoN,

Tho late Bishop Elder Of Cincinnati

From his childhood Bishop Elder
had the gift OF direct and forciblo

tho possession OF this gift, praiSlng
direct dictlon and condemning Circum-
locution, whereupon he said,
"'Circumlooution, though you con-
denim IL, has its use. IL Is a fine instru-
ment whcrewith to soften harsh, un-
pleasant facts, There are many cases
where circumlocutlon is valuable
For instance, ] once had a young
man for servant who was inclined 70
take too many liberties

teHainment Of a gust OF distinction,

Through The gambling Instinct.

Through the gambling instinct.
They let their insurance run out,
They bought things they did not need
because they were cheap.
They did not use good judgment or
right portion IN their expenditures,
They subscribed for everything they
could pny for on the installment plan.
Money enough went down In drink
and up In smoke to have saved the
home,
The father always intended to get
his life insured, but died without doing
80.
They dld not realize how easy It is
10 get into debt and how hard It is
TO get out.
They tried 10 do what others expected
OF them rather that what they could az
ford.
They thought il small to insist on
having an agreement on understanding
put IN writing,
They could not say NO" and could
NOT afford TO tell their friends, Il cane
not afford H.
The sons thought they must SOW
their Wild oats as wen as other "lel-
lows OF their set,
The daughters thought II beneath
them TO work for a living, but We're
bound to dress we'll
They drew their money out OF the
savings bank TO put 10 into some wild
cat" scheme, and lost H.
They did not do business I'm a busl-
ness way because they were dealing
with relatives or friends
They never formed the habit Of put
ting IN the savings bank money which
they did not Immediately need,
They did not know that giving full
power OF attorney 20 an agent or law
yer put their property nc his mercy.
They put of payments ON every
thing possible because It would be 80
much easier 10 pay tomorrow than to-
day.
They signed important papers With
out reading them or knowing their con-
tents just because they were asked to
do so,
The mania TO make an appearance
beyond their means caused them 10
mortgage their property and ended In
bankruptcy
They feared that the people with
whom they had dealings would think
them suspicious II they asked them
for receipt for money
They ran accounts at the stores In
stead Of paying cash, did not realize
