Much interest centered around the
printed matter sent out recently by a
miniature colored anti-Taft club. in
which the question was asked why 1t
is that Oregon being a Republican
state had within its constitution sec
ton which DISTINGUISHED the negro and
prohibited him from living in that
state. AS reply to this atempt at
deception Rev D. E. Butler read let
ter. showing conclusively that the
measure was passed by the Demo.
cratic party and not the Republican.
The Letter.
The letter read by Rev. Butler is
signed by Secretary G. n. Macarthur,
and is complete as follows:

that our constitutional Convention was
predominated by Democrats. The
records also show that the Constitu-
tional provision in question was bit
terly opposed by the Republican mem
hers of our> Constitutional Convention.
The circular which you enclose is but
fair sample Of the campaign argu-
ments that are being used by the Dem
ocrats The record of that party in
this state prior to the time Of the Re-
publican ascendency here was one OF
ring rule, graft and corruption. The
Republicans have not always been per-
feot, but their acts of perfidy ,dwindle
into insignificance as compared with
the methods in vogue here under the
good old days of Democratic rule.
The outlook for Taft and Sherman
in this state is first class. We shall
roll up plurality of not less than
&c, 900, and it may be considerably
larger Yours for Republican success,

ACCURATE DESCRIPTION
 HELPED JACKSON LITTLE

Crawhshing sideways from Police man Cantey, who had him by the arm Ed Jackson a negro, pranced Into police court Monday evening and pro- ceded to twist facts with the assur- ance and adaptability of an unpre- cedented genius. Ed was accused of stealing a pair of shoes. but boldly swore with upllfted right hand and as an extra preeaution. crossing his heart and hoping to die. that he had bought the shoes.
 "Who did you buy them from" ask ed the court.
 Ed thought a moment. and before he got through thinking the court, to help matters out, suggested his de- scribing the seller.
 The boost given was of inestimable value to Ed and he dived headlong into the description.
 "Whitefolks, de nigger what I bought dem shoes offen. was a s6rter brownish nigger, what had kinkey hair and big feet He had big lips too. and wore dirty clothes. De most noticeable ting bout him, jedge to your honor, was dat dat nigger liked wa termillion and he hankered after chicken"
 Judge Baber sat back. and after gazing at the prisoner two minutes said he ought to be dismissed for giv- ing the police department such a lucid description of the real culprit. but since the genuine thief was not pres Spt he thought 1t best to hne Ed hf-

CITY SUITS SMALL
iNTYaE GRATIFYixG. ~
Estimated Thsf e2o,00o Would Cover Liabilities of All Suits Pending --Reversais of Police Court
 Are Commented On.

City Attorney C. P Mcintyre has filed his annual report with Mayor Teague and notes the fact in 1t that there are fewer Leases against the city now pending than at any time in the history of the present admlnis- tration. there being about eight cases in all the total liabilities of which. should the city lose. would not exceed twenty thousand dollars He also notes the fact that the city does not often lose a case and with the event of loss. the amount awarded to the plaintiff is unusually small.
 A point that the attorney lays particular stress on Is the fact that cases appealed from the police court to higher tribunals are thrown out too often. the same having a bad effect on citlxens who violate ordlnancAA the juries considering usually. the cases too trivial to warrant a punish nnent and therefore throwing them out To remedy this MT. Mcintyre sugsests that the recorder impose lighter lines. so there will not be so many appeals taken and thus avoid the scuiprlts. In so many cases. eseap. ing justly deserved punishment.
 The report also calls attention to the fact that the city treasurer has filed a list of delinquent tax payers or people who should be payers. con- taining over a hundred names, in the city court of Montgomery and further says more than hundred pieces of property will be bought in by the city to satisfy the tax dues of those who are ia arrears.

CHANCELLOR
 WILL DECIDE Noted Tennil1e Case Now
 With Him. SUBMITS WITHOUT ARGUMENT Involves Stock in the Planters Cot
 ton Oil Company. P. ". stsy Is Fighting for Stock Which He Claims Mrs. sarah B. ren-
 niiIe ought to sen Him
 by Contract.
SUBMITS WITHOUT ARGUMENT

On the original bill of complaint and the demurrers hled to it by attorneys for the defense, Judge L. D. Gardner of Troy. Chancellor of the Southeast Division, took the case of E. W. Stay vs. Mrs. Sarah E. Tennille, under ad . visement, Monday morning There was no argument indulged n by attorneys for either sides both being content To let the Chancellor decide the matter upon it's merits.
 The case is one of intense interest During last April E. W. Stay, the complainant. flied bill in the Chan. cery Court against Mrs. Tennllle. seek : ing the compistion of a contract or agreement entered into by Messrs. St. Clair Tennllle, l. s Stanton. and E. " stay. comprising the corporation of the disposal of the stock of the com |. pany in ease one of the three parties to the agreement should wish to with, draw or should die.
 By this agreement, so the bill of com. platnt alleges. 1t was understood ba. tween the three men that n the event either party desired to sell or dispose of the stock in the Planters Cotton oil Company. or any part of their holdings, he should first offer the same for sale to either of the two other parties to the agreement. or to both of them, and give them an option to buy said stock before offering 1t for sale 10 anyone else.
 It was further agreed that in the event either of the three parties to the agreement should die owning stock. then his heirs. executor or administra. {. trtx. shall sell or transfer to the other two parties. or either of them, his said stock to the extent of &5.o00. or if less than $S.oo0 is owned, all of 1t.
 The bill sets forth as exhibit "A" A letter in which Mir. Stay offered Mrs. Tennille S7,5o0 for fifty shares of stock. and states that this ofEer was refused. Mrs. Tennille stating that she wished eeo.o00 for all of her stock or nothing at all. Immediately after this offer. the bill alleges that Mrs. TenniIIe transferred some of her stock to two other parties that she might have con trol of the company, and at the meet. lug of the stockholders which fol- lowed. the complainant was forced out
 The result of such action on the part of Mrs. Tenniile, it Is alleged, is to make dividends on the stock owned by the complainant extremely doubt fui, as the company is being ''misnaan. aged by inexperienced persons" 1t is claimed.
 The complainant through her attor- neys, filed a demurrer to the bill stat ing in brief that there was no equity in the bill. that 1t hxes no price to be paid for the stock; that it gives no method by which price could be de- termined: that 1t fixes no time at which the executof or adnainistratrix shall sell stock: that the contract or agree.
