MACARONI FACTORY

Lisbon, N. D., Feb. 4.-One Of the
main topics up for discussion at the
last Commercial club meeting held on
Friday evening, was a Macaronl fac.
tory, and, no doubt, an enterprise of
this kind could be made very profit
able with careful management, as this
section of the country produces mac
aroni wheat in large quantities.
Another matter of interest discussed
was a canning factory. This could
be made a paying proposition In this
locality, but it's success would depend
entirely upon the farmers.

GURDANE IS Still
CHIEF OF POLICE
TENDERFD RESIGNATION But
LATER WITHDRAWS ACTION
Trouble Between Mayor and Police
Head Arose Over Enforcement oil
Anti Firecracker Ordinance

AS a result of difficulty that arose
last evening between Mayor f. j.
Murphy and Chief of Police Tom Cur
dane, it looked for az time today that
the city would be without a police
chief. However, matters were ami
cably adjusted this afternoon and
Gurdane is on duty as usual.
The trouble arose over instructions
given by the mayor relative to the
enforcement of the ordinance against
shooting firecrackers on the streets.
1t is understood that the orders were
of a contradictory nature and the af-
fair came to a crisis after the mayor
and chief met following the release
from arrest Of Tom Means, upon the
mayors orders, after Means had been
arrested by Chief Gurdane. During
the alteration the chief of police ver-
bally rendered his resignation.
Today mutual friends of the two
men brought them together and as q
result Gurdane withdrew his resigna'
ton. At 2:30 this afternoon Gurdant
stated to the East Oregonian that h'
had withdrawn his resignation anc
would continue to perform the duties
of his position.

officers but they had but little on
which to work. one Of the ears was
found near the wagon last night and
the other was picked up by Walter

The officers thought for awhile this
morning that they had a clew to the
perpetrator of the deed but it ended
in nothing. They will continue their
efforts, however. and reward will
probably be offered before the day
is over.
Mr.. Eaton and many others are OF
the opinion that the act must have
been done by an insane person and
they think it very probable that il
was the same person who, within the
past few months, has made repeated
efforts to mutiliate stations. Mr..
Eaton is positive that it could not
have been done through any personal
enmity.

BIG INTERNATIONAL
TRUST BEING FORMED

Brussels, Belgium, July 5.-An in
ternationaI iron and steel institute, f"
covering in its ramifications all
parts of the world and candidly de-
signed to prevent destructive fluc-
tuation of steel prices" was prOpos-
ed today at a meeting of the leading
steel finanCiers of the globe. While
the sessions of the magnates today
were being held behind closed doors,
IL is known that such a proposal is
before the meeting and that it will
probably be adopted at tomorrow's
session. The worldwide Ombination
will be modelled along the lines OF
the American Iron and Steel Insti-
tute, in which the United States Steel
Corporation is the controlling factor.
According to the admissions of Ell
bert H. Gary, chairman of the Ameri-
can steel trust" the prime purpose
of the American institute" is to
preserve =" business equilibrium" and
to prevent "ruinous competition and
price cutting" The same object led
t. the gathering here today of the
steel barons of the world. Several
European manufacturers recently
visited the United States to investi-
gate American methods, and their
report formed the basis of today's
discussions. In addition to Judge
Gary. several directors of the Am
erican Iron ad Steel Institute are in
attendance at the first world con.
gress of ironmasters.

DARROW EXPECTS
CLIENTS RELEASE

Los Angeles, July 5.-Flushed with
victory. in the Conncrs, Maple and
Bender case, Atty. Darrow and other
defense attorneys today anticipate lit
tie difficulty in having the indict-
ments against the Mcnamara broth
ers quashed, when the men plead to-
morrow.
Since the return of Darrow from
the east, thirty-eight reasons the de-
fense says, have been prepared to
show why the indictments should be
quashed. 1t is likely that Mrs. Nc
Monigal's contempt hearing will be
put over for another day. 1t is sched-
uled for tomorrow.
The attorneys say that each of the
thirty eight reasons are sufficient to
quash the indictments.
While Mr. Darrow would not give
out either of them, it was learned that
one of the chief reasons to be pre-
sented is that three or four of the
grand jurors were prejudiced
1t is also believed the alleged kid
mapping of John Mcnamara will fig
ure largely in the reasons
Attorney Darrow -aid today that
Mrs. McManigal is not liable for con-
tempt and was within her rights when
she refused to testify 10 anything
that might incriminate her husband

the nations interested do not desire
to attract the attention of the United

is well under way. There is a belief
prevalent among. South American

would become a power to be reckoned
