IT LOOKS
BAD FOR
BOODLERS

San Francisco, Aug. 22.-Argu-
ments on the appeal of Louis Glass,
T. II. Halsey and the heads of the
United Railways anil the Parkside
Realty Company, indicted for bribing
supervisors, for a writ of prohibition
and restraining the superior court
from trying them, began before the
supreme court this morning. At the
outset of the proceedings the chief
justice gave the defense the hardest
shock 1t has received since the indict-
ments, by knocking out three-fourths
of the defenses' contentious. The
court agreed that putting into the
grand jury box the names of IL men
who were summoned for duty pre-
ceedlng the present grand jury was
entirely irregular. The court also
declared Issue of the insufficiency Of
the evidence on which the indict-
ments were based, did not constitute
a valid objection. The only point on
which the court cared to hear argu-
ments was as to the prolongation of
the grand jury.

ATTORNEY
GENERALS
OPINIONS

A letter has been received at the
attorney-generals Office from Il. A..
Johnson, secretary of the Drain
Commercial Club, asking whether the
board OF regents was within its rights
In closing the Drain normal school.
He claimed that sufficient funds were
on hand to keep the schools, and
thought that the state had no right
TO prevent the faculty from continu-
ing the schools. He said that the
people of Drain were much opposed
to the schools being closed, as suf-
hcient funds were on hands for their
continuance. The opinion was given
by Assistant Attorney-General II.
Winkle that the board OF regents was
entirely within its rights. He said
that all normal schools, as such,
were under the control OF the board,
and that the only thing to be done
was TO reopen the school later in
the manner permitted by the board.
Another opinion was given on the
right OF county to tax the private
oyster beds on Yaquina bay; that
these beds were private property
and taxable under the constitution
like any other j. II. Lutz, assessor
for Lincoln county, asked for ad-
vice on this matter. He said that the
parties owning the oyster beds
claimed that their property was not
taxable, yet they prevented others
from trespassing on them. disposed
OF them for a consideration to 9TH
en- parties, and exercised all the 9TH
er rights of ownership. Mr.. Lutz
held the opposite opinion, which the
attorney-generars office has con-
tirmed.
A third opinion was given on an
Inquiry by Bank Examiner Geo. w.
Steel, on the proper course for him
TO pursue in reference to the in
Oregon Trust & Savings
Bank, He was advised that the mat
ter was outside his Jurisdiction, as
l2 months had not elapsed since the
passing of the 1907 banking law,
which time Is given these banks to
make their reports.
