MEDFORD. Ore, Feb. 7.--As
the direct result of hazing at the
University of Oregon, Clarence W,
Gore died at his home in this city
Sunday afternoon. The young
man never recovered from a cold
contracted while being put
through a hazing stunt before
Thanksgiving, going into Quick
consumption. He was forced 10
leave the university at Christmas
and was unable to return.
After he had been in the uni
versity some weeks, Mr.. Gore ami
four other freshmen were taken
out one night and for three. hours
were compelled to keep up a huge
bonfire for the beneflt of their tor
mentors. The work was enough
to keep score of men busy bit
in their efforts to please their. SUI
perior. class men, the young man
overexerted themselves. especially
so was this in Cores case, who
was of a slight delicate build. He
was soon in a dripping perspira-
tion and although he took the
best care possible of himself aftet :
wards he contracted a heavy cold
which he was unable to throw OFF.

INTERCHANGE
TRANSFERS

If the courts this week go by
conditions instead of by technical
tiles Tacoma may have transfers
between the Traction and T. r. &
P. street railway lines. Tomor-
row the city attorneys will try tao
issues in the mandamus SUIT
brought by the city to compel the
street railway company to inter
change transfers.
The city bases its claim for
transfers on the ground that the
two lines are controlled and op-
Grated by the same company, AMI
under the settlement ordinance
with the T. R. & P. company
when this condition exists it is
bound to give transfers.
The company in it's answer sets
up that the Traction line is owned
and operated by the Pacific Trac-
tion company. Technically this
may be true but actually it is op-
Grated by the Stone-Webster in
terests as their officers have been
also made the officers of the Trac-
tion line.
There is fine chance right bore
for. the courts to show whether
they want to look beind techni-
calities for the real facts to give
the people justice or whether they
want to grasp at technicalities t
favor the street railway company
The people will watch the ouv
come with interest.

HENEY'S OPPONENT MOVES
TO DISMISS GRAFT CHARGES
JUDGE REFUSES TO Do 1T.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. T.
District Attorney Fickert, success
full opponent of Francis J. Heney
in the recent election, today ask
ed Judge Lawler to dismiss six
teen indictments pending against
Patrick Calhoun, president of the
United Railroads, and other Unit
ed Railroad officials. Judge Law
Ter denied the motion.
The other indictments Fickcrt
sought to have quashed upon his
assertion of lack of evidence" are
those of Thornwell Mutually, as
sistant to the president of the
United Railroad; Tirey L. Fori.
chief counsel, and William Abbott
OF the law department of the COM
pany.
The indictments referred to by
Fickert were brought against Of
ficials of the United Railroads by
the Oliver grand jury nearly three
years ago. they were based upon
testimony of supervisors of the
city and county of San Francisco
who acknowledged that they had
received individual bribes of more
than $4,000 to vote for overhead
trolley franchises for the United
Railroads in the period of recon-
struction after the fire of 1906.
Ford was brought to trial and
a failure to agree resulted. Lat
er he was acquitted. Later still
Patrick Calhoun obtained the
benefit of a disagreement of the
jury on a charge of offering a
bribe to supervisor. Abbott and
Mutually were never tried.
After denying the motion judge
Lawler continued the cases until
next Monday.
