CAPTURED
PICK POCKET

owing to the quick work of Walter
johnson yesterday afternoon, a pick
pocket now languishes in the city bas-
tile awaiting an examination on the
charge OF attempting to snatch a
purse from the hands OF Mrs. Gard
ner. resident of North Salem.
The attempted theft occurred late
yesterday afternoon on Commercial
street where the races and Cherry
Fair sports were being held The
would-be pickpocket, giving his name
rs Hugh Mcdonald, made q grab at
Mrs. Gardner's purse, but the latter
succeeded in catching his coat sleeve.
pulling the garment from the mans
ack Mcdonald then scurried through
the crowd, and some one called to
Johnson 10 catch him. Johnson, who
was on his horse Jumped TO the
street, and, after playing tag with
the hatless and coatless man for
few minutes caught him. Mcdonald
was very desirous Of being released,
claiming he had done nothing, but
johnson, failing 10 see II that way,
held on, The fellow made a few at
tempts TO get away, but Dave Yantis
collared him, and, assisted by John
son, got MIN into james Inns auto
mobile, who took him to the police
station, whore he was locked up.
The police are busy gathering more
information regarding the attempted
theft, and Mcdonald viii probably
be given hearing either this after
noon or Monday morning.
For n time II was thought that a
regular riot would be started over the
AFFAIR, as the crowd pushed close up
around Johnson and Yantis and
their prisoner and would not abate
until he had been removed

WANTS CONSUMERS
TO HAVE A CHANGE

A dispatch from Washington,
dated June 2s, says:
w. X. Newell, Of Castor, repre-
.entlng the oregon Horticultural
Society, who has been travelling
through the east studying the apple
situation, both as to production and
market, had a conference today with
Secretary Wilson and other Agrlcul-
tural Department officials. He was
assured on every hand that there Is
no danger Of overproduction OF ap-
pies I'm Oregon; that the eastern
market Is almost unlimited, but be-
fore the trade can assume large pro-
portions means must be devised for
getting Oregon apples into the east
ern market at less cost to the con-
sumer.
They are in great demand for
their quality, but the price Is almost
prohibitive. Mr.. Newell ays after
weeks OF study that higher prices In
the east arise from the fact that APP
pies pass through too many hands
before reaching the consumer and
therefore pay too many profits. He
believes this can be overcome.

CONFETTI
AND BALLS
ARE BARRED
Chief Gibson Issues Orders to
Arrest Anyone Throwing
Confetti or Using Re-
turn Balls.

The general public is warned that
no confetti or rubber returning balls
are to be allowed on the streets to.
day or tonight In any form, and
those not needing this warning will
be dealt with according to the laws
Of Salem and prosecuted TO the full
est extent
Chief of Police Gibson has In
structed his men to keep a close
watch for any display Of the annoy
ing bits of paper and the rubber ball
and to arrest anyone found handling
the stun. The police are compelled
to act strictly this year owing to the
fact that all their efforts were
strained last Cherry Fair to avert a
regular riot on the last night OF the
event, due to the confetti and rubber
returning balls. One man received
a broken jaw as the result of a row
over the paper throwing FUN"
lady was hit in the face by one OF
the careless men and several rough
and tumble fights we're INDUCED in
during the evening, all on account
Of the tiny pieces Of colored paper
and the balls.
The city officers are perfectly will
ing that the public should have un-
limited liberty In their amusements,
but all rowdylsm must be omitted.
Chief OF Police Gibson said this
morning: "If those who desire 10
throw confetti and rubber bolls
would use n little precaution there
would be no harm done TO any ex-
tent, but they fail to take consld-
eration OF people who do not wish 10
be imposed upon in this manner aud
last Cherry Fair there we're several
instances where little pieces OF rock
and dirt had struck someone in the |
face, mixed with confetti. and one
lady was nearly blinded by the stun !
The rubber ball Is another source
of annoyance Men and boys will
throw these balls with all their
might sometimes and wherever they |
hit there is going to be a sore spot. !
absolutely refuse to permit any |
Of this today or tonight"

GAS COMPANIES ARE
FIGHTING CITY TAX
Assessor MaIlard Wears Bland Smile
as He Pointc Other Figures
Given in Rate
Fight

The Pacific Light and Power, Domes-
tic Gas and Peoples Gas companies
were the corporations before the city
board of equalization yesterday morn
ing, all asking that their assessments
be reduced.
The same stock arguments used by
every corporation every year, when
asking to be relieved from a portion OF
its taxes, We're used yesterday. The
contention is always that the city as
SCISSOR has fixed the assessment on the
franchise too high, and yet the assessor
each year uses the same method in de-
termining the value of the franchise
that he used the year before He sub
tracts the assessment of the tangible
assets from the assessed valuation of
the stocks and bonds, and calls the
difference the value of the franchise.
This method, which has been approved
by the courts is a double e-barreled
action and gets a corporation coming
and going
If the corporation complains that the
assessment on its tangible property IS
too high the assessor is Indifferent as
to Wether or not it is lowered, Tor
the amount subtracted from the
tangible assets is automatically added
total assessment is the same
The complaints of the corporations
were taken under advisement.
The request of the Y. M. c. A. repre-
sented before the board by a. p Flem-
ing, that the assessment on the turnl-
ture of the institution be reduced from
$4,000 to $4,000, was granted, the as
SCISSOR making no objections.
One Of the relieving features of the
dull routine of the boards work is the
sarcastic smile worn by City Assessor
Mallard when the utidity corporations
come up asking for a reduction. He
is a past master of the art of sarcasm
and largely contents himself with point
ing to the figures submitted by the
public utility corporations when they
submit statements for the rate-hXtng
commission. The figures in these state
n1ents show a wide variance from the
figures submitted for taxation pur-
poses.

Heretofore Held by De Roster, the
Merry Frenchman

Records are still falling at the Col

in / minute S6 seconds.
One of the hardest fought battles
ever seen on a race track took place
yesterday afternoon. between Graves,
Ward, Kohl and Knappe in the second
heat of the siX-hour race. First one
rider took the lead, only to be passed
by another, and very often the four
were riding abreast for many laps,
thrilling the crowd and creating great
excitement The score at the finish
of the first days two hours riding
was as follows: Kohl, 112 miles laps;
Ward, III miles l lap; Graves, III
miles; Knappe, 6S miles, laps. The
score for the second days two hours:
Ward, 120 miles. laps; Kohl, III

tai score for four hours: Ward leads

miles, y lap; Graves third, 226 miles,
8 laps: <nappe, liz miles, 1 lap; Will
iiams and Blalock far behind. This
afternoon will be the final two hours
of the six-hour race. Any one of the
four leaders stands chance, to win,
the one who possesses the most en-
durance in this final heat to stand
the strain of the terrific pace will be
the victor A great crowd of fans is
expected to witness the final struggle,
which will start this afternoon at 3
o'clock.

PLAN
A BIG MERGER
TRUST COMPANIES WILL HAVE
SAVINGS ACCOUNTS
FIRST NATIONAL sToCKHoLDERs
MUST RATiFY CHANGE
Los Angeles Trust Company and Met
ropoIitan Bank Are Two InstItu-
tions Included in the
Change

A merger of the Los Angeles Trust
company and the Metropolitan Bank
and Trust company is contemplated IN
the near future, and the stockholders Of
the First National bank, who acquired
the stock of the two institutions some
time ago, have been asked to ratify the
proposal. This step is urged because
of the new banking law and consequent
changes in the bylaws of the two in
stitutions.
1t is proposed to change the name Of
the Los Angeles Trust company to the
Los Angeles Trust and Savings bank
with the expectation of aggressively ell
tering the field under the new law as a
savings bank; to increase the capital of
the new institution from $I000,000 to|
81, 100000, which represents the COM
bined capital of the two old institutions,
and to combine the surplus and undi-
vided profits of both as the surplus and
undivided profits of the new bank.
! 1t is not contemplated TO make any
change in the location Of either institu-
ton at the present time but to continue
the business of the Metropolitan Bank
and Trust company in its present loca-
tion as a branch Of the Los Angeles
| Trust and Savings bank. The First
| National bank has q capital of $3.50,
| COO and surplus and undivided profits Of
| 81, $780, 600. When the merger of the Los
Angeles Trust company and the Metro
poitan Bank and Trust company is
effected, forming the Los Angeles Trust
and Savings bank, the new institution
| will have a capital of $1,250000, the
same as that of the First National
! bank, and surplus and undivided profits
amounting to $590,000.
| If the stockholders of the First Ma
tional bank approve of the reconnen-
dations made. the First National bank
and its auxiliary trust and savings
bank will be fully equipped to serve the
public as an up-to-date savings bank
in addition to the satisfactory service
given in the past In commercial and
trust company lines.
