The people of North Bend have just
had the privilege of attending a session
of the Farmers and Shippers
Congress, which was the most enthusi-
astio meeting of the kind 1 ever
attended. A delegation of dis
tinguished men from all parts Of the

Col. E. Hofer, of Salem; J. w. Ben
nett, of Marshfleld; DR.. James Witty
combe, of Corvallis, Hon. B. F.
Mulkey, OF Ashland, and a score Of
others-all bright, energetic business
men, and all anxious for the upbuild-
ing Of Oregon and the development Of
all branches Of industry in the state.
The North Bend band furnished
plenty Of good music. The streets and
business houses were nicely decorated
with flags, bunting and evergreens,
and the town had gala appearance.
Thursday morning about 800 people
went on a free boat excursion to the
Coos Bay bar, returning at noon to
enjoy free dinner of baked CLANS,
boiled crab and sandwiches. A free
dance was given at the pavilion and
a banquet at the Hotel North Bend in
the evening.
Hon. L. J. Simpson. Mayor ofNorth
Bend, acquitted himself very credit
ably as an entertainer. He is one Of
the most energetic men ever met.
He believes in doing things, instead
of sitting down and waiting for some
one else to do them. With such a man
at the head of an enterprise, it is sure
to succeed.

Case Of William Davis to Be Tried
This Month";

The case of William Davis. indicted on the
charge OF violating the anti-gambling law
of the District. which is expected in its adj
Indication to throw much light upon the
question of the legality Of the practice of
making books at the Benning races, will
probably be called for trial in the District
Supreme Court about the middle of this
month. 1t is understood to be the intention
Of the United States attorney to have the
case disposed Of SO far as the trial court is
concerned. before the alleged land fraud
cases and others on the fall docket are
taken up.
In the event Of a conviction, 1t Is stated,
an appeal will be taken. Should that be
done 1t will probably be a considerable time
before the questions involved are finally
passed upon. In fact, 1t is said to be un-
likely that judicial opinion in the matter
will be rendered in time to furnish guide
for the action of the District officials in
connection with betting at the fall meet at
Benning
Davis, who is charged with making books
on the Benning races. was arrested the last
day of the spring meet at that place, and
was indicted April IL last. He was re-
leased under bond in the sum of $1,000,

NEW PIANO PLAYER.
Recitals Of "the Electrelle" at W. B.
Moses & Sons.

The silent piano has inspired many
men of genius to work out devices, with the
result that there are numerous self-play-
Ing attachments now to be had that are
more or less successful in attaining the
object of interpreting the various classes
of music satisfactorily.
The manufacturers of the electrelle, it is
declared, have solved the problem. 1t is a
player that can be attached to any piano
is inconspicuous. is operated by electricity
and is simple to operate.
w. B. Moses & Sons are the first agents
appointed for the device in the United
States. The only electrelle previously
shown was on exhibition at the Lewis and
Clark exposition.
Moses & Sons will conduct daily recitals
and demonstrations. and an invitation has
been extended to the public to attend.
The electrelle is said to be decided i'm
provement over the ordinary piano player
attachment offering many possibilities
for the performer.

WITHOUT FRIENDS AND MONEY.
Plight of Young Woman Deserted by
Cousin. ,

Hida Barnes, seventeen years of age
arrived at the 9th street Pennsylvania
railroad depot yesterday morning about
2:3O o'clock. She was penniless.
II just got here from Charlotte, N. c."
she told Policeman Sanders. land l want
to go to New York"
After a brief conversation with the girl
the policeman ascertained something of
her wants and he had her conveyed to the
house of detention from police headquar-
tiers. Miss Barnes was anxious to continue
on to New York. but she had no transpor-
taton and the policeman informed her
that she would have to remain here until
her case had been investigated. Her story
was that she had been taken to Charlotte
by cousin and deserted. Her mother, she
added was in New York and she was
anxious to return to her.
Il left my home in Manchester, England
three weeks ago" the girl said to a Star
reporter, coming to America with my
mother and cousin. My father is employed
at the water works in Manchester and
he's coming to this country about Christ
mas
Upon reaching New York city, the girl
said. she went with her mother and cousin
to the house of her aunt
Il don't know just where the house is"
she declared. but l can find it when I
get to New York. My cousin is a spinner
and when he made up his mind to go to
go with him. When the train stopped at
Charlotte Saturday morning my cousin got
off first, leaving me to care for myself NV
mother had given him the money for INV
railroad fare and l was there without a
cent in my pocket"
Miss Barnes said she called upon police
man and asked him to assist her The
policeman listened to her story and took
her to boarding house. That was Sat-
urday morning and she remained there I'M
til yesterday, when she was given trans
portation to this city, the police telling her
to call upon the police here for assistance.
She stated that her only object in going to
North Carolina with her cousin was for
the purpose of enjoying the trip and seeing
friends of her family. She did not happen
to know the names or addresses of any of
the friends. however. and there was moth
ing left for her to do but accept the hos
pitality of the city and then come here.
This is my first trip to America" said
the young woman. "and I came with the
understanding that it is to be my home
for the future.
The girl Is being made comfortable at
the house of detention. while the police are
endeavoring to locate her mother in New
York. Unless the mother can be located
the case will probably be reported to the
board Of charities. An agent of the board
may accompany here to New York to see
that she is restored to her mother.

REDUCTION OF FINE.
Commissioner Vests Recommendation
in Case Of Policeman.

IN Ease OF 1OI1ce"dAs
Declaring that the charges preferred
against him by Capt Schneider, Sergeant
Keefe and other policemen of the seventh
precinct, which resulted in his being hailed
before the police trial board, adtudged
guilty and fined $50 by that tribunal, were
inspired by animus, the object being to
get him out of the precinct mentioned,
Patrolman George v. johnson made an APP
peal to the board Of Commissioners for a
reduction OF the penalty or an entire dis
missal of the charges.
Edward L. Giles, attorney for the accused
policeman, intimated that the trial which
resulted in the conviction of his client was
not only unfair, but that it was not legal
the fact that the recent enactment reor-
! ganizing the police department., which went
into effect July 1, created a new trial
board, but that Johnson was tried by the
old trial board, which had no legal exist
erce. The former board, which started the
johnson trial two days before the new law
went into effect, sat in the case until Its
completion about week after the LIST OF
July, and subsequently announced its ind
ing in the premises. Commissioner West
declared his belief that this was immaterial
| and not calculated to have bearing upon
proper adjudication Of the evidence.
Johnson has been characterized as ''the
literary cop" He was charged with sitting
| In the watch box at the Georgetown end OF
tne AQueduct bridge, smoking MS pipe
and writing story for a newspaper. This
charge. his attorney declared. was based
only on a supposition-the fact being that
Johnson was using yellow paper and that
the sergeant who preferred the charges
| said that he had seen newspaper reporters
use that kind of paper. Attorney Giles ad-
| mitted that Johnson was in the watch box
| at the time, was smoking and writing. but
| that he was making a memorandum of an
accident which had occurred that morning
| in order, later. to transcribe it in the 'acci-
dent book" at the station house which Is a
part of his police duty. To this Commits
s,oner West replied that it was of no con-
sequence what he was writing at the time,
but that he was neglecting his duty by
being in the box and violating the require
ments of the manual by sitting down and
smoking.
Argument in the case was concluded by
the attorney stating that 1t was not his
intention to attempt to prove Jehnson's in
| nocence in regard to sitting down and smok
ing, but to show that his client was not
| writing an article for a newspaper, as was
alleged. and that the fine imposed, on &C.
| count Of the petty character of the offense,
was excessive
After the hearing Commissioner West
| recommended that the fine in Johnsons
| case be reduced from $50 to SIS.
