QuASH SMITH INDICTMENTS
GRANTED TO RE.
SUBMIT CASE TO JURY.
Conspiracy Charges in Patterson Case
Are Dismissed-Judge criti-
cises Grand Jury.
ITO be continued.

New York, May 6.-Judge Foster, in
the court of general sessions Friday,
quashed the indictments charging con-
spiracy against j. Morgan Smith and
his wife. Julia Patterson Smith. He
gives the district attorney permission
to resubmit the case to the grand jury
The Smiths were arrested in Cincinnati
and are now in the Tombs prison here.
The Smiths will remain in the
Tombs pending the decision of the
district attorney as to whether he will
resubmit this case to the grand jury.
Counsel for the Smiths said that after
"a hours he will move for their dis
charge If the district attorney has not
by that time decided to resubmit the
case and fixed the time to do so.
In dismissing the indictments Judge
Foster severely criticised the grand
jury. 'The minutes Of testimony
show no evidence whatever Of con-
spiracy on the part of these defend
ants" he wrote. "The grand jury has
no right to find an indictment where
there is no evidence to support it. l
can only explain the fact that an in
dictment was found on the theory that
the defendants, who were without the
state, were needed as witnesses in an
important case"

The street car service Of ChieaGo
is by-word; every one knows Of the
surface transportation inflicted upon
Chicagoans. Just now the town Is all
agog over the question of municipal
ownership of street railways, and the
democratic nominee for mayor stands
out boldly for his advanced position.
John Maynard Harlan, the republican
nominee, In his speechmaking In the
vigorous campaigning now in progress
from one end of the city to the other.
avows that he stands for common
honesty" reforms for safeguarding of
the public against attacks on life and
property, for honest inspection OF
buildings, purer water, less smoke,
better street paving, more small parks
taking politics out of the schools.
Judge Dunno says in regard to this
common honesty" plank: "Me, too;
stand for all these side issues, but
first and foremost for municipal own
ership."

will have been put into the background
the undesirable stockyard notorieJy.
Financiers, experts on street paving,
architects, sociologists. university pro-
fessors, men, women and children are
engaged in the movement; it is nc
passing fad; the earnest minds Of the
town have the altruism and the energy
to keep at the task for years.
A constant stream of visitors, men
of all sorts and conditions, flows in
and out of the rooms of the Municipal
museum at the library, where are on
view exhibits of many different de-
partments of municipal matters. Ere
quent illustrated lectures are given at
the noon hour, when business men
may come to have their eyes opened
concerning what Chicago needs in the
way of municipal reforms, to become
acquainted with victories won in other
cities. School children are brought
down in relays, and though the i'm
preston got by them doubtless is more
or less vague, yet they must absorb
something in the way of improved
ideals of city life.
Local organizations are forming for
the institution of spring street clean
ing in their respective districts. An
appeal has been made that the Gus
tom of throwing hand bills far and
wide be put stop to. asserted, a
fact that no one can question, that
much of the disorder of Chicago is
due to the waste paper blown hither
and yon by the wild prairie winds.

will enjoy. Chicago, which is to hold
more elaborate celebration than any
other city in this country, has been
honored with message from Queen
Alexandra, of England. The massage
was conveyed in a letter written by
Lady Henry Somerset to Miss Marie
Shedlock, of the Chicago Kindergarten
institute, who has been one Of the
enthusiastic workers for the Andersen
celebration. Lady Somerset's letter
reads thus: II brought to Queen Alex
andra's notice the fact that the lovers
of Andersen in the United States, who
owe their enthusiasm partly to your
lectures and your work, were about to
celebrate the centenary of this great
Danish writer; and I have obtained
from her majesty full permission to
convey to such Andersen lovers q mSs-
sage to the effect that the queen takes
great interest in the work of her dis.
tinguished fellow-countryman, Hans
Andersen"
Conried's production of "Parsifal"
has attracted enthusiastic audiences
in Chicago; and so did the Savage
production of "Parsifal" in English.
Concerning the comparative merits Of
the Conried and Savage presentations,
the critics judgments are that the for
mer excels in lyric presentation, but
not in dramatic; that Conried's stars
give grand opera effect, Savage's
cast passion play.

felt here over the telephone service.

dog hitched with all our traps in the
wagon. 1t was bright morning, and
the sunlight glimmered on the dew in
the broad valley. The men were just
coming from breakfast when We turn
cd In at David Brewers. A barefooted
little girl bit older than I, with red
cheeks and blue eyes and long curly
hair that shone like gold in the sun
light, came running out to meet us and
led me up to the doorstep, highly
amused at the sight of Fred and the
wagon. I regarded her with curiosity
and suspicion at first, while Uncle Eb
was talking with the men. I shall
never forget that moment when David
Brewer came and lifted me by the
shoulders high above his head and
shook me as II to test my mettle He
then led me into the house, where his
wife was working.
"What do you think Of this small bit
Of a boy?" he asked.
She had already knelt on the floor
and put her arms about my neck and
kissed me.
"Aln' no home" said he. Come all
the way from Vermont with an OIL
man. They're worn out, both Wv 'em.
Guess we'd better take 'em in awhile"
ooh, yes, mother-please, mother"
put In the little girl who was holding
my hand. He can sleep with me,
mother. Please let him stay"
She knelt beside me and put her arms
around my little shoulders and drew
me to her breast and spoke to me very
tenderly.

probable that the hurried person, how
ever, did not take time to stop and
inquire who had brought about this de-
sirable state of affairs, whether indi-
vidual enterprise or awakened munic-
ipal authorities were responsible for
the reform.
The work has been done and the
glory belongs to those two organiza-
tons, the Merchants club and the
started joint campaign to take away
at least in small but much journeyed-
over portion the city's reproach fer
being the uncleanest of the big towns.
And what they have accomplished has,
as we have said, impressed even the
most careless.
At banquet held recently by the
two clubs, past and future work was
discussed, and fluctuations made on re-
suits accomplished. One of the mem
bers thus reviewed the experiment un-
dertaken by the clubs: I'VE have
demonstrated that the downtown
streets can be kept clean, thus min
imizing the dust on windy days and
the mud in rainy weather We under
took this work for one year in order
to make practical test of the mat
ter, and we can now go before the
city officials and the people with every
detail perfected" This speaker told

Terrific Race With Death.

death, as a result of liver trouble
and heart disease, which had robbed
me of sleep and of all interest in life.

several medicines, but got no benefit,

constables in collecting debts have
got to stop in this city. We will never
have justice for the poor and unpro-
tected until the fee system Ia abol-
ished. A big constable simply scarce
a person into paying debt, whether
it is lawful claim or not. BY back
ing up a wagon in front OF hoNso
and demanding payment for small
debt the unfortunate debtor is coerced
into settling the claim rather than SEQ
his household furniture thrown out on
the sidewalk and moved away in the
constable's van"
1t is easily possible for Chicago
constable to get rich in few years
on the fat fees he is able to collect.
The Justice shops are as rule in
league with the constable, and pro-
nounce his charges legitimate.
To show to what extent the VIC
tins suffer at the hands of the con-
stables, the Chronicle recently gave an
illustration of the way small debts in
crease in size when taken in hand by
these men who make business of
guarding the interests of certain
class Of creditors. The Chronicle says:
Woe betide the poor family that re-
ceives visit from constable levyinG
on Judgment writ 1t may be that
the debt was only a few dollars or was
not just debt at all. But the court
costs will be $50. Then will come
the fee for execution not less than
$1.50. Next will be exacted the con-
stables charge for custodian services.'
81 for every day or fraction of day.
When all the fees are betrayed the
original small debt or claim will have
increased to colossal characterization
81 to not less than s12, and possibly
$40" Violence as we'll as extortion
has part in the constable's methods;
the weaker, the more defenseless the
victim, the drawer" looms the con.
stable.

Corvallis 7, SiIetz 6.

When amateur baseball boys
hold down a nine inning game to
the score of Z to 6, spectators
generally get the worth of their
money. Our Corvallis ball-toss-
ers went over to Newport yester-
day and played a match game
with a picked nine from Siletz,
Toledo and Alsea, and the result
proved that our boys can put up
a good article of baseball.
One week ago last Sunday the
Siletz team won from Corvallis
in a game at Toledo by a score of
9 to8. The third and deciding
game will be pulled off in Cor
Wallis, provided enough 25 cent
tickets can be sold around town
to pay the expenses of the visit
ing team.

the box for Siletz and Stanton,
of Alsea, played second. Jim

Several,,7 Attachments.

At the Grefoz store every
thing in the main is yet unchang-
ed. Many call for watches and
other articles of jewelry left
there for repairs and in some in
stances there is trouble due to
the impossibility of Identification.
1t is certainly bad mess.
Three attachments of property
in the store received service last
Thursday. The first service was
on account OF Thos. Whitehorn,
the second was brought by John
Rickard. Both of these parties
are of Corvallis. The third
paper placed in the hands of
Justice Holgate was in behalf of
Tuthill, a Portland house.
We are informed that these
claims aggregate $500 or more.
AS to the value of the stock in
the store it is matter of con-
lecture in large measure as we
know of no invoice having been
taken. The estimates of several
people who have been more or
less about the store places the
value of the stock remaining at
from $500 to $1,000. The pre-.
vailing opinion favors the lesser
sum. From any way one looks
at this matter it is deplorable.

The three Kemps, Al, William,

demonstrated that a gasoline boat
may be operated on the upper
Willamette river. They passed
Independence Wednesday in a
little 3o-foot boat that skinned
over the water like a duck. A
o-horse power Superior engine
was used and the boat was sent
along by stern propeller. The
boat had 28 feet seating capacity

Kemp stated he had pulled

greater speed than the boat could
make empty. 1t has canvas
