THAT SUIT OVER THE
U. OF o. APPROPRIATIONS

Maintaining that the plaintiff has
not the legal right to sue, and also
asking the court to make an order
directing the plaintiff to enumerate
the names which he declares to be-
forged, the defense yesterday after
noon filed q demurrer and also a mo-
tion in the case OF II. s. Friendly
against Secretary of State Olcott, a
suit brought to enjoln the secretary
from placing the title of two bills
making appropriations for the Uni
yerslty Of Oregon on the ballot at
the next general election.
The demurrer raises the question
Of the legal right of the plaintiff to
bring the suit, and also alleges that
the complaint does lot state facts
sufficient to constitute a cause of ac-
ton. In the motion the court Is
asked, among other things to direct
the plaintiff to enumerate in his com
plant all the names on the petitions
which he declares were forged to the
petitions asking that the two bills
be referred to the people Should the
court rule in favor Of this latter
point 1t will mean that the plaintiff
will have to set out in his complaint

General Crawford and W. S. U'Ren

Held Up S. P. Express Train
Near Redding, Dynamited

Much Booty.
ROBBED ONLY EXPRESS co.
Special Trains Carrying Posses Sent
to the Scene and Pursuit of Rob-
bers Began-They Have Five
Hours Start, and, With the Wild
ness of the Country to Aid Them,
VIII Be Hard to Capture.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wmE.1

Redding, Cal, Sept with a six
hour handicap, the five men who
robbed the Southern Pacific express
train No 10 forty-three miles north
Of here, are far in the lead of the
officers today who are searching the
wild country, which has been the
scene of three daring robberies this
summer. That the bandits carry big
sack of coin is admitted by the Wells
Fargo Express company but the exact
amount is withheld.
1t is believed here today that the
men who made good their escape by
automobile are the same robbers who
successfully evaded the officers after
other robberies. A negro, who was
the only one to wear mask, was the
only new member of the gang.
While the train was on a siding at
Gibson, four miles above Lamoine.
three Of the bandits climbed in through
the open door of the express car, COW
ering Messenger Meyers and his
helper with guns. Two men remained
outside to keep the coast clear until
the train started southwark. Engin-
NCl COlClildu anu CONDUCTOR DlCKey
stuck their heads out and were fired
at, the shots missing their mark.
AS the train travelled at a good
speed the men blew open the two
express safes with dynamite, which
they handled with accuracy. The ex-
plosion hurled wreckage to all parts
of the car, but nobody was hurt The
big sack of coin was the only loot
taken.
Meyers was made to pull the signal
cord, stopping the train and letting
the robbers take to the timber. They
were later reported to be seen in an
automobile.
Pulling in to Lamoine the trainmen
notified the superintendent office at
Dunsmuir and before midnight special
trains with armed posses from north
and south were in pursuit
Trainmen are positive that the ne
| gro was genuine and not a white man
/ with burnt cork on his face.

MAY READ THE BIBLE
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

"That the reading of the Bible in
the public schools without comment,
or the repeating of the Lords prayer
therein, is not obnoxious, and is not
inconsistent with any rule or regula
tion adopted by the state board of
education" was the opinion of Attor-
ney General Blackburn years ago, and
Attorney General Crawford unOn being
asked to pass upon 1t yesterday after
noon, gave it as his opinion also.
The question was submitted to the
attorney general for his ruling by
State Superintendent of Public In
struction Alderman. Mrs Ada Wal
lace Unruh desired information on the
subject, and the state superintendent
not desiring to tackle it, put it up to
the attorney general. The attorney
general says that he has investigated
the constitution of the state and the
law since Blackburn rendered his
opinion, and can not find any change
in them.
