 \ The discussion of the case. which has been growing ever since, the second arr rest of Srhiflls was In q measure check. ed today by an order issued by the court. Judge Buckley ordered deputies |summoning veniremen to instruct them not to talk about the. case until they had abpeared in court and been exam ined and this to some extent stopped discussion among the men. though the ested and certainly more wrought up than the male contingent, Care talking Of noting else. Gf5
 Additional interest in the case was aroused today when 1t leaked out that a prominent cousin who has been zeal ous In MT. Smiths behalf, had received an anonymous letter excoriating him for his actions. The writer claimed, so lit is said. that in publicly upholding the tale told by Smith. he was doing . grave injustice to any young woman who is pure and gD9d ana who has done nothing of which she has esfsase to be ashamed.
 Owing to the fact that the case has been so freely. discussed, it will be ex- tremely difncult to secure a jury. ana the taking of testimony may hot begin for several days

 ,It Is likely that there will be more reports during the week. as it seems far from probable, that the two firms which reported yesterday. were the only sell- CTS of the alcohol.
 The 2s7 gallons were sold by d wholesale concern. The sales were made. not upon prescription, but to drug stores and physicians throughout the State The amounts sold to each customer ranged from one to s-+ geiions.

rather a doubtful compliment To the
taste OF the Salem public.

though the rendition of 'Liebe-

poor impression on the old master, "
the Salem audience was very well
pleased with it,

that the people knew what they were
hearing when the pupils received sucn
hearty applause and several times

POETS GO
OUT ON A STRIKE


Paris. May 20.-Parbleul There
is agitation among the poets. The
strike microbe has spread rapidly
and the bards of la belle France have
the fever No moro will the Lifting
meter of song and the very blank
verse of the epic resound through the
nation. Two thousand and more
French bards in united and hirsute
array have sworn by the honor of
their forebears and the altars OF
their gods that they will not write
another couplet or hexameter until
they are granted recognition. The
favor they crave Is to be permitted
TO exhibit" at the annual salon
along with painters and musicians,
specimens of their handiwork.
As prominent poet explained II.
"the Parisian lives on art, while most
of those who supply IL live on air;
that is, the praises OF the nations
connoisseurs. SO what 10 America Is
baseball, is to England cricket, that
to France is art. II is the national
passion. the great pastime of France.
But poetry has been thrust aside and
now the poets, in their might, have
declared that unless they are accord
cd recognition with their fellow ar
lists, France shall not bear the song
OF the bards for twelvemonth.
