ASKED WITNESSES, NAMES.
Unusual Request Made Of District At.
torney Allen By Gamblers.

ShesSeA AS4acsb Maoe VI VistfiCt at
torney Allen By Gamblers.
A most unusual matter was called to
the attention Of District Attorney Allen.
The state is at present making an effort
to route out the pool room people who
have set themselves up at the town Of
Milwaukee, Clakamas county, and al.
ready the operators have been arrested.
Yesterday it was reported to Mr..
Allen that the gamblers had made pro
posal to Deputy Sehubel, at Oregon City
agreeing to waive examination in the
justices court if the district attorneys
Office would furnish the defendants with
the names Of the states witnesses. Mr..
Sehnbel at once reported the matter to
Mr.. Allen, who also received a tele-
gram from the private prosecutor in the
case to the same effect.
Evidently the pool room people want.
ed to get the names so that witnesses
might be seen" but the proposal was,
of course, promptly turned down by Mr.
Allen.
/. III those pool room people want TO
waive exaniinatin. that's their business
said Mr.. Allen, 'but they will never get
the names of our witnesses. We are 20.
ing to give them the best we haye.D

GOVERNOR CUTS SALARY ITEM
Jersey Deputy Comptroller In I'M
pleasant Plight.

Trenton, June rs: = Governor
Stokes has signed the, annual approp-
ration bill, which aggregates near
ly a 100000, and Is to meet the
expenses of the State Government
for the year beginning November /.
The Governor disapproved in the bill
the item of $500 for the salary of
Deputy Comptroller Isaac Doughten,
of Camden, who now receives $4,000,
on the ground that the increase was
made only by the Appropriation Com
mittee and not by act of the Legis-
lature. No salary will be available
for the deputy after November l, and
the matter will have to be adjusted
by the next Legislature.
Another vetoed item is $1,000 APP
propriated for the supervision OF
plans for public schools. This has
been paid in recent years to Herman
Kreitler, of Newark. who is leading
a fight. against an administration act
creating an Assistant Commissioner
of Charities and Corrections, whose
duty is to prepare plans for all State
buildings. The saving to the State
this year by this plan will exceed
3 10000. and the architects are
angry. Mr.. Keitler viii thus have
an additional $1,000 incentive to
fight, as the work he has heretofore
performed will so to the State arch
itcct.
Several bills we're signed by the
Governor including the following:
Amending General incorporation
act TO include possessions and Deepen
denotes of the United States (intend-
ed for Porto Rico PHILIPPINES and
other territory recently acquired
authorizing second-class cities to APP
propriate a sur not exceeding 81.
