In a London Theater.

In 174S there appeared in the news
papers of London an advertisement
stating that on certain night a re-

the Haymarket theater. He would, the
advertisement ran, borrow common
walking cane from any member Of the
audience and "thereupon play the mu-
sic of every instrument now in use"
1t was also promised that he would
take an ordinary wine bottle. place it
on a table in the middle of the stage,
get into it sin the sight of all the
spectators" and sing while in it. In

a second advertisement, announcing

Members Of State Tax Board
Sat Up and Took Notice
When Independent Presi-
dent Made Charge.
BRADLEY PROMISED
TO FURNISH PROOF
He Alleges Bell People Have
Sc, 100000 Worth Of
Property Which It Has
Failed to Pay Taxes On.

Indianapolis, July S.-The members
of the state tax board sat uD and took
notice, yesterday afternoon. when
James 8. Bradley, president of the
New Long Distance Telephone COM
pany, the largest independent long
distance company In the state. made
the charge that the Central Union
Telephone company is a tax dodger,
and that 1t is lodging paying taxes in
Indiana on something like $20.000,000
worth of property. Bradley was asked
by the board to furnish proof Of his
statement and he has promised to do
so.
Wants Reduction.
Bradley was asking for reduction
in the assessment of his company at
the hands of the tax board. The board
this year raised the assessment about
$4,000 and Bradley thought it was
not justified. The New Long Distance
company has several hundred miles Of
lines In the central part of Indiana,
radiating from Indianapolis and is the
nucleus Of the great independent tele-
lphone system Of the state. It is the
largest Indiana competition of the
Central Union. which is a Bell COM
ipany. He argued that his company
was taxed in proportion higher than
the Central Union. and the members

show him from his own statement of
capital stock. bonded Indebtedness,
earnings, etc, when compared with
the statement of the Central Union,
showed Brailey's company had been
fairly dealt with.
Not In Statement.
But the Central Unions statement
does not show that it has borrowed
$20,000,0O0 from the American Tele
phone and Telegraph company and
that all Of this money has been put
into its plant, does it," Bradley asked.
The board said it did not
1T is a fact" Bradley continued,
that the Central Union has borrow
ed that money and put it into its prop
erty."
An examination Of the Central I'm
ions statement showed a. item under
the head of expenditures Of 100000
for interest and compensation and
Bradley said that item represents the
amount Of interest paid last year by
the Central Union to the American
Telephone and Telegraph company
for interest on the borrowed money.
It is Important.
Secretary of State Sims, who is
president of the state tax board in
formed Bradley that this was the first
information of that kind the board
had ever received. and that it Is i'm
portant II true. for it would mean
large increase In the valuation of the
Central Union property for taxation.
He asked Bradley II he could furnish
any evidence of the facts as stated by
him, and Bradley said he could and
would.
II Bradley does this it will probably
add several millions to the assess
ment of the Central Union company,

money was put into the Central Union

C. C. Hendricks, prominent real
estate man and one of the large tax
payers of the city, spent two hours in
the city Jail this morning for con-
tempt of court. He threatens to
bring suit for damages.
1t seems that Mr.. Hendricks had
piled a quantity of rubbish in stone
wall Jackson street. He declares he
put it there to be hauled away and
that in so doing he was striving to
act the part of an enterprising citi-
zen and thinks he was displaying
commendable civic pride.
According to the officers Mr.. Hen

office of Recorder Fitz Gerald yes

duction Of Billie Whitla gave the
name today of Helen Falkned. The
man arrested with her gave the name
OF ]. H. Boyle. The woman seems to
be well educated. 1t is thought that
she is prominent in Sharon. The po-
lice searched the Granger apartments
where the couple lived. The interior
answers the description of the place
where the boy said he was held.
Candy containing chloroform was
found. The police think this accounts
for the dozed condition of Billie
when he arrived at the Hollenden
hotel to meet his father.
There is still considerable specula-
tion as to the meaning of the woman's
remarks when she said last night:
"There will be trouble for me and
hell tomorrow in Sharon" Before
her marriage Mrs Whitla's name was
Forkner. and the similarity Of the
two names are causing comment. A
woman living in the Granger apart
ments today told the police she saw
woman and man enter the place
Friday leading a boy like Billie. The
woman in the Jail had s99S9 in her
possession, most of the bills in the
original packages as taken from the
bank.

Salem, March 24.-Pursuant to
Roosevelt's plans for the uplift of
country life, Norval D. Kemp, Of
Dayton, Ohio, a member of the coun-
try life commission, has suggested to-
Governor Benson that conference of
governors of the northwestern states
be held in Spokane April 18th to for
country associations. The governors
of Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wash
ington and Wyoming are invited to
attend the conference.
This is the first step taken towards
the practical application of the ma
terial that the country life commits
sion has been gathering in their ex-
tensive tour of the whole United
States. The commission was COM
posed of prominent hen and their
findings were embodied in a report
which was filed some time ago Chief
among the points of their report was
the deploring of the lack of organ
ization among the farmers of the ma
ton. By the nature of his work
the farmer is naturally isolated, also
naturally independent, However.
the different parties with whom he
does business are highly organized and
it seems right that the farmer should
also be organized The meeting Of
the governors of the northwest will
doubtless result in something being
accomplished towards this end.

COMPLETE PLANS
FOR WOOLEN MILL
ONE OF THE BEST STRUCTURES
IN THE WHOLE NORTHWEST
Main Dimensions Same as Those of
the Large Mill in Salem-Will be
Slightly and First Class in Every
Respect-Insurance Rate Less Than
for Any other Woolen Mill in
State-Machinery Modern and
Working Conditions Sanitary.

Plans for the new woolen mill
buildings have now been completed
and they show that Pendleton is to be
given one of the best buildings of the
kind in the northwest. The dimen-
sions of the main building are the
same as the big mill in Salem and
those who have been in the capital
city can form an accurate idea as to
what will be the appearance of the
Pendleton plant when completed. -.
The structure will not only be
slightly and indicative of substantially
but will also be first class in every
respect. The Portland building in
spector, when shown the plans, de-
clared, after a minutes examination,
that he would not hesitate to give it
the highest rating of any similar
building he had ever inspected. The
insurance rate on it will also be less
than that for any other woolen mill
in the state which would indicate that
no detail has been overlooked by the
Bishops in making their plans and
preliminary arrangements.
Not only will the building be mod
ernly equipped as to machinery but the
arrangements is to be for convenience
and utility. While it is planned to
use every available bit of space there
will be plenty of room. The best of
Accommodations for employees will also
be provided, including commodious
wash rooms and lavatories. The ven-
tilation has not been overlooked and
precautions will be taken toward
making the work room as cool as pos
sible in the summer and comfortably
warm in winter. A scheme of venti-
lation has been evolved which will do
away with troublesome drafts.
c. P. Bishop, president of the COM
pany, is still in the city. with his two
sons and will remain here until the
actual work is started off in good
shape.

1t is further declared that he i'm
mediately began a TRADE of abusive
language which did not cease after
the court had been called TO order.
When he refused to keep still and quit
swearing when commanded to do so,
the judge fined him $40 for con-
tempt of court. When this did not
stop the irate citizen but only served
to increase his wrath and profanity
in proportion, the judge ordered the
man committed to jail, which was
done.
This occurred about 10 o'clock in
the forenoon and Mr.. Hendricks was
not given his liberty until time to so
to dinner.
