WANT MORE PAY
FOR THE JUDGE
BAR ASSOCIATION WANTS
COURTS SALARY INCREASED
Would Add $1,000 to Annual Stipend
of Circuit Judge-Association
Passes Resolutions for Considera-
zion of Coming Legislature - Be-
lieve Present Salary Is Inadequate
TO Position of Court-Attorneys
Want Other Legislation.

The circuit judge for the district
of Umatilla and Morrow counties will
receive a salary of $4,000 a year in
stead of $4,000 as at present, if a res
olution adopted by the bar association
at noon today. receives favorable con-
sideration at the hands of the legis-
lators at Salem.
Today's meeting was called by Pres
ident James A. Fee and aside from
the resolution providing for the in
creased pay for the circuit judge a
resolution was adopted asking for the
passage of law which will prevent
justices of the peace from practicing
in their own courts and also one pro-
viding for a law making it illegal for
any person other than a licensed at
torney to appear before the probate
court.
The matter of increased pay for
the circuit judge is one which has
been under consideration for some
time and it is believed that a suffi-
cient showing can be made before the
legislative session to insure the pas
sage of the bill.
The other two propositions are ones
in which the attorneys not only feel
that their field is being encroached
upon, but also ones in which the best
interests of the public are not served
by the present conditions.
1t has not yet been decided how
much of an effort will be put forth by
the local association to secure the
laws desired, but it is probable that
the cooperation of the state associa-
ton can be secured and much influ-
ence can be brought to bear upon the
members of the legislature.

tomorrow forenoon.

Know Roosevelt's Authority.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Senator Till
man today made a characteristic Wig
orous reply to President Roosevelt's
letter accusing him of land grab
frauds in Oregon. Tillman in return
accused the president of cowardice
and Justification, and of using the Sc
cret service in violation of the law. He
declared openly that Roosevelt had
in his possession since July last the
information he had submitted in his
recent letter and that it was a public
wonder why the president did not
spring it before.
Calls Roosevelt Cunning.
Senator Tillman said: 1.-THE pres
ident has prepared his indictment
with consummate skill. He is cunning
in his apparent innocent pretense Of
searching, through secret service, for
one kind of a criminal and running
down another, but mark you, he knew
about this deal since last July"
Letters Are Authentic.
The Carolina senator devoted much
of his speech to the presidents delay
in making his information public and
then plunged into a lengthy discus
sion of his connection with the land
deal. He admitted the authenticity Of
some of the letters attached to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's letter to congress on
he subject.
In closing Tillman severely ar
raigned President Roosevelt for

In accordance with the law en-
acted by the people of the state OF
Oregon last June. which provides for
the calling of a grand jury at each
term Of the circuit court, the names
OF seven men were drawn from the
Jury box this morning who are now
engaged in the task of investigating
alleged violations of the law In this
county. Everyone of the seven men
is a farmer, Frank Snyder, being
foreman. d. Turner was appointed
bailiff for the jury.
What cases are being Investigated
or are to be Investigated by the grand
jury is not known. 1t Is believed,
however. that there are some alleged
violations Of the prohibition law to
be probed and these will probably
constitute the most important grist oe
indictments to be returned 1t is
hardly probable though that there
Will be any such wholesale return
ing IL indictments for Illegal liquor
selling as occurred last fall.

brakes Jumps His Bail.

William brakes, better known as
angelica Bill" who has been held
by Justice of the Peoce Parkes in the
sum of $3.50 cash bail to appear be-
fore the grand jury on a charge Of
selling liquor has jumped his bail,
and his present whereabouts is not
known to the officers brakes had
been previously arraigned in the po-
lice court on a similar charge and
upon entering n plea of guilty had
been given the limit allowed by the
city ordinance which Is fine of $25
and a term of five days in Jail. The
particular offense for which brakes
was to be investigated by the grand
judy was the selling of liquor to
Indians.
William Blivens who also entered
plea Of guilty to a similar charge
when arraigned in the police court
and who served out his entira time,
refusing to pay any fine though hav-
ing the money, is now in the county
Jail. As soon as he was released
from the city bastile he was arraigned
before Justice Parkes who held him
over to appear before the grand jury,
Not being able to fudnish bail ne was
incarcerated in the county Jail.
While number of complaints of
illegal liquor selling have been made
to the district attorney it is not be-
lieved that the evidence in these
will be sufficient to result in indict-
ments.
It is understood though that vio-
lations of the prohibition law are
not the only cases to be investigated.
Several minor criminal offenses are
TO be looked into but in most in
stances these men are now in the
county Jail.
About the only important case to be
passed upon is the fatal colored |
