CAN THIS BE TRUE?
Pittsburg Girls Accused of Immodest
Behavior on Halloween.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 29.-That many
fair maidens of the Smoky City are
wont to celebrate Halloween by strip
ping themselves of the maidenly re-
serve, and other things, and letting
loose all hold on the moral law, is
the charge made by women of the To-
cal w. c. T. u, who have appealed
to the mayor and chief of police to
do something to stop the naughty
cut-ups on next Halloween, now only
two days in the offing.
Many shocking stories are told Of
the actions of pert young things who,
in past years, have donned coats, vests
and-well, trousers-and under the in
fluepce of the strange garb have turn
ed themselves loose in the gayest Of
gay revels. Young ladies of some Of
Pittsburgs most respectable families
girls who have had the benefit Of
church and Sunday school in their
upbringing, are alleged to have been
the chief offenders. 1t is said that
they have entered saloons, put their
little tootsy-wootsies on the brass rail,
puffed cigarette smoke in the face of
the outraged bartender, and, after a
nearly step up, gents, and name your
pizen," from the leader OF the gang,
have quaffed their liquor like good
fellows.
In the opinion of the ladies Of the
Women's Christian Temperance I'm
ion, such conduct is "immodest and
conducive Of the leading astray Of
young girls" The police have prom
ised to put a stop to it. and If any
of the sweet young things get too gay
next Monday night, they may find
themselves enjoying the hospitality of
a police station.
That the w. C. T. U. ladies the not
exaggerating is vouched for by a num-
Der of patrolmen and reporters, who
assert that on Halloween last year
they witnessed scenes which made
them blush. And to make a Smoky
City policeman or reporter blush Is
about as difficult a matter as may
well be imagined.

WESTON MEETING
WAS ENTHUSIASTIC
TWO HUNDRED GREET
SENATOR SMITH EFT AL
j. w. MalOney Gave Statistics Show
ing Increase in Taxation Not Due
TO Increase i'm State Taxes-COunty
Taxes Also Doubled.

In the home town OF the Eastern
Oregon normal school Senator C. ].
Smith and fellow democratic candi-
dates spoke last night to an enthusi-
astic audience of 200 people. The
meeting was held in the opera house
in Weston and Clark Wood, editor
of the Weston Leader served as pre-
siding officer.
j, w. Maloney, candidate for coun-
~ judge was with the party last eve
ming and in a brief businesslike ad-
dress told of the enormous expense
incurred by the county during the last
four years. He gave statistics, com
piled from the record, showing that
the increase in taxation within this
county has not been due merely to an
increase in the state, district or city
taxes. The county taxation itself has
been practically doubled under the
Gilliland administration.
Senator Smith was introduced last
night as legislator who had a splen-
did record of achievement as his best
advertisement for further political IA
vors. Senator Smith is popular in
Weston for many reasons, especially
because of his loyal and consistent
support of the o. E. S. n. S. The
greeting accorded him last night
showed his popularity.
Ben F. Hill, candidate for joint
representative, gave spirited talk in
which he upheld the direct primary
law and statement No. l. Mr.. Hill has
subscribed to statement No. i while
his opponent 7. ]. Mahoney of Hep
pner has refused to do so.
This afternoon democrats are at
Holdman and they will be at Helix
this evening.

POLICE DOG TRACKS
DOWN MURDERER

st. Petersburg-The police dog
"Treff," whose name is regularly and
formally enrolled on the lists Of the
lice, has, again shown his peculiar
and unerring sagacity in tracking
down a murderer. A monk, in
priests orders, of the Toitze-Sergieff
monastery, near Moscow, was last
week found murdered in his ceh.
Father Anatole, as he was known, was
deservedly esteemed in the neighbor-
hood for his generous charities. He
had the reputation of being a rich
man, and It was this, presumably.
that led to his murder, which was
most brutally perpetrated by the driv-
ing of nail through his brain.
Treff was taken to the murdered
mans cell where. after shifting the
body and the blood in which it lay,
he attempted to spring through the
window. AS the cell was on the Sec
ond story, he was conducted down.
stairs, and quickly catching the scent
various corridors and across turnings
to the night watchman's hut at the
gate. The watchman was
absent, but Tress instantly darted
under the bed and brought forth a
blood stained boot. Then, after a
moments hesitation, he made an in
tricate and devious circuit Of the mon
astery grounds, finally running down
the night watchman, a man named
Yefimoff, in the garden. Yefimoff
has confessed to the crime and re-
stored the sum Of 1000 roubles stolen
from his victims cell.

JAPAN ADOPTS A NEW
NAVAL EXTENSION POLICY

Victoria, B. c., Oct. 29.-Informa-
ton received here today from Japan
to the effect that Admiral Yamameto
and other prominent Japanese naval
authorities have agreed upon a new
naval expansion program the fixed
policy of which will be to confine the
construction of war vessels and am
unition manufacture to Japan. She
will likewise build as many ships as
the shipyards can accommodate. Jap
anese newspapers are commenting
bitterly because of the alleged injus-
tice done poaching Jap schooners in
the Bergue sea. They allege the Jap
anese vessels were captured and the
crews imprisoned and fined when not
guilty of poaching.

at this time has not fixed a definite
time. He is intending to wait until
after election before calling the meet
ing.
According to Mr.. Roosevelt all the
people of this county are members of
the Umatilla county agricultural So
ciety. Consequently all are entitled
to a voice in the selection of the
three men who represent that society
upon the fair board. The Morrow
county agricultural society elects one
member of the board while the other
members of the board are named by
the governor and serve during good
behavior.
In a statement to the East Oregon
ian today Mr.. Roosevelt declared he
will not accept reelection to the
board.

SQUIRRELS ROUT BIRDS
AFTER 3-DAY BATTLE


Glen Ridge, NJ IA three-day bat
tie between English sparrows and red
squirrels ended when a flock of the
birds, estimated at several thousand,
with a great twittering, forsook the
lofty double row of trees in Midland
avenue and took up a new home In
the woodland between Glen Ridge and
Montclair.
The sparrows had become a pub
lie nuisance in Midland avenue, where
the trees arch overhead and give a
tropical look to the street. The birds
came there in such numbers that
sleep grew to be an almost unattain-
able luxury on the part of the human
residents of the vicinity. For the last
four weeks mighty pyrotechnic
bombs were fired off in the foliage.
A number Of birds were killed, but
the flock soon got used to the explo-
sions and finally got so they would
not even fly away while the bombs
were going Off
Erward Bartelow of Green Pond,
who was a visitor at one Of the Mid
land avenue houses. trapped seven
red suirrels near his home and
brought them to Glen Ridge. He
distributed them over the trees, and
the combat at once began. The red
squirrel robs nests and eats both old
and young birds, and the attacks Of
these tree climbers on the sparrows
could be plainly heard by the house.
holders. The squirrels were placed
on the trees and the birds had to
fight for their lives to get away. The
eyes were picked out Of several sjuir-
rels before the birds gave up and
moved.

CHINESE PEOPLE
ARE HANDED LEMON

Pekin. Oct. 29.-Although the i'm

ment that a special council will be
called to consider the Chinese senate's
memorial that the Chinese parliament
open in 1912 instead of in 1915.
it is generally beloved the people have
been handed an oriental lemon. The
throne in its announcement refuses to
accept the responsibility of calling
the session before 1915 and it is
known the special council will not
call a parliament until told to do SO
as they will become jobless as soon
as parliament convenes. Thus 1t
looks like the Chinese representative
