NEW main STREET
BRIDGE IS PLANNED

That the city council is in earnest
in its desire to have a new bridge con-
structed across the Umatilla at Main
street was attested to last night at the
regular session of that body when the
street committee was instructed to con-
fer with the city engineer regarding
the drawing up Of plans and specifi-
cations.
Most of the time last night was
spent in discussing the proposed
bridge and while most or the city
fathers admitted their ignorance as
to the particular virtues of different
styles of bridges, there was a few
who had definite ideas on the sub
ject. Councilman Stroble was one of
these and he was of the opinion that
a girder bridge with two eighty-foot
spans and one fortyfoot span was the
best that could be erected.
The present bridge is much the
worse for wear and citizens will well
come the news that it Is to be sup
planted in the near future by new
and modern structure.

Right Of 'HeaIers" to Practice
in State of New York is
Vital Question.
SUPREME COURT MAY
BE CALLED TO DECIDE
Case Starts In Police Court But May
be Carried TO Highest Tribunal In
Land-Legal Drama of Spirit Vers-
us Matter Being Enacted I'm judicial
System of State and Nation.

New York Jan. ga suit to test
the right of Christian Science healers
to practice in this state and which
will be os vital interest to the disciples
of the late Mrs. Eddy in all parts OF
the world, had its beginning today
when Willis Vernon Cole, a regularly
licensed Christian Science practition-
er, was given a hearing before the po-
lice magistrate in jefferson Market
court Humble in its beginning, 1t is
probable that the suit may yet so be-
fore the supreme court of the nation
as a test case to decide the legality
of the healing" phases OF the re-
ligion of Christ as interpreted by Mrs.
Eddy.
Disciples of the feminine religious
leader assert that the whole religion
of Christianity IS on trial and that the
real warfare is, in the last analysis,
between those who cling to a spiritual
Interpretation OF life and those whose
viewpoint IS entirely and wholly ma
terialistic.
Thomas A. Edison, in a recent in
terview, denied the existence of the
soul and of spirit" said prominent
New York Christian Science leader, in
discussing the present case. He de-
clares that all Is matter and that spir-
1t does not and cannot exist. Such n
statement is logical. if false. The
Christian Scientist says that all is
spirit and is logical. The time has
come when humanity must decide be-
tween these two-between Christian
Science and materialistic science
This test case, If carried to a conclu-
sion, will be the most tremedous in
the history OF the world. If the courts
should decide against us, then on that
day will Christianity be legally dead
by denying the existence of spirit,
Mr.. Edison has said, as plainly as II
he had used so many words, that
Christianity is a monstrous lie with
out basis of fact Has there been
any public manifestation of dsappro-
val? a few ministers have said that
Mr.. Edison was not a theologian, and
unfamiliar with ancient tongues. and
WIS therefore not qualified to discuss
such question That is all. The
people at large have accepted the
statement as matter of course
Mr.. Cole, who may play the leading
role in this legal drama of Spirit VS..
Matter, has offices in Fifth avenue
and has a fashionable and evidently
profitable clientele
Mrs. Isabella Goodwin, a police ma
tron, appeared as prosecuting witness.
She testified that she went to Cole
for treatment, specifying palpitation
of the heart and bladder trouble as
what allied her. He said he knew he
could cure her, at the rate of 81 for
the first call and 81 each for subse-
quent visits The treatment consisted
of the practitioner sitting silent for
fifteen minutes, after which he told
Mrs. Goodwin that she was much re-
lieved, but that she must come ar
ound again in few days.

PEOPLE WANT TO ,,,, ,.
ELECT SENATORS
MANY STATES DECLARE
FOR POPULAR VOTE
Senators Borah and Owen Gather In
teresting Figures for Consideration
of Congress.

Washington, Jan. &c. - Senators
Borah, Owen Depew and others in
terested in the popular election of
Snited States senators have been
looking into the records of the various
states of the union on the subject.
Senators Borah and owen have been
working hard for a passage of such
legislation in congress as will insure
the people the privilege of voting for
their senators, but Senator Depew
does not favor the idea.
Getting down to statistics the sit
uation presented to Mr., Depew and
those who think like him today is
this: Thirty-six states have express
ed themselves favorably in one form
or another on the election of senators
by a direct vote of the people, and
they constitute more than three
fourths of the states of the Union.
They are: Alabama, Arkansas, Cali
fornia, Colorado Florida, Georgia,
Idaho, Illinois, Indiana. Iowa, Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan. Min
Gesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana,
NGpTdshhl ANSNdud, NEW JSlSSS, AVA ~
Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Okla
hema, Oregon, Pennsylvania, south
Dakota, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas. Idaho, Virginia, Washington,
Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Virtually all of the states west OF
the Hudson river, democratic and re-
publican alike. have acted favorably
On this question. Only eight or nine
states have failed to act. Mr.. De-
pew is supported by many senators
in his idea against the direct vote and
the opposing opinion is strong and et'
fective. For years this sentiment IT
the senate has proved a barrier tha
the champions of direct elections have
not been able to overcome. Foul
times the house has passed by two
thirds vote resolution proposing. al
amendment to the constitution whici
would give direct election of senator
and on each occasion when the hous,
action has been submitted to the sen
ate that body has failed or refused
to vote upon the resolution.

SHIP SUBSIDY SCHEME
is WASTE OF MONEY

Washington, Jan. 26.- Senator
Shively. of Indiana, took a fling at
the subsidy bill today which he de-
nounced as a money waste. He de-
clared the decay of the merchant ma
rine is due to the operation of an an
tiquated navigation code.
Referring directly to the bill intro
duced by Gallinger of New Hamp-
shire, Shively said we pay an Ameri-
can steamer $1,000 for the conveyance
of ton of mail against $500, by a
foreign steamer but nevertheless the
number of American cargoes carried
In American bottoms is continually
falling owing to the present naviga-
ton laws.

WOULD HAVE BOARD
PURCHASE SUPPLIES

Salem Ore, Jan. 26.-Senators
Bean and Calkins of Lane county are
sponsors for a bill centering the pur-
chase of all supplies for the state in
stitutions and departments in the
state board, consisting of the gover-
nor, secretary of state and treasurer.
1t establishes the office of state pur-
chasing agent, with a salary of $4,000
such officer to devote his time to
the best methods of buying supplies
The plan of putting the purchase of
state supplies in the hands of one
board is strongly favored by Cover
nor West.

GRAND JURY MAKES
REPORT TO COURT
TWO NEW INDICTMENTS
ARE MADE PUBLIC
County Poor Farm is Visited and
Recommendations Made - County
Jail Conditions Commended.

Returning two true bills and two
not true bills. the grand jury yester-
day afternoon temporarily completed
its labors and is now awaiting further
orders from the court. one of the
true bills was against Ralph Newman
of Milton, charged with assault and
battery on the person of George Pro-
peck, marshal of that town, and the
other against the five boys who stole
the o. r. & n. velocidepe some
months ago. one of these boys has
since died, and two have left the
country. The not true bills were re-
turned against Robert Newman, a
brother of Ralph Newman and w. w.
Williams, who was accused of for
gerry.
Newman Case i'm Court.
The time of the court today has
been consumed with the taking of
testimony in the case of Ralph New
man, indicted for assault and battery.
This is the case in which, it is alleg-
ed, that Newman struck Marshal Pro-
peck. The defense is contending that
the blows were struck in self defense
and only after the marshal had re-
fused to leave the store owned by the
defendant. The arguments were be-
ing made at the time of going to press
and Attorney Fee for the defense and
District Attorney Van Vactor were
having a lively tilt.
Grand Jury's Report.
The following is the grand jury's
rn
to the court:
We visited the county poor farm
and found that institution in good
condition and it seemed to be well
managed, and in this connection we
wish to make the following recon-
l. There are a number of old build
ings or sheds on the premises, which
Il would improve the appearance of
the farm a great deal If they were
removed, If these buildings are neces-
sary for use on the place We would
recommend that the county court
build new buildings for these pur-
poses
3. We are also informed that the
well which water is pumped from for
domestic use is insufficient during thc
dry season, and would recomm ,.r, ,s
