in.
Next came Police Commissioner
Waldo, who testified that he had in
structed Becker to raid RosenthaFs

prepared to testify that Becker tried
to get relieved from duty as head OF

The third defeat came when the de-
tense called Frank Luban, brother of
Morris Luhan, who had testified he
saw the shooting of Rosenthal and

was willing to repudiate his brothers
story, but all that he was allowed to
swear to was that Morris Luban
could not be believed under oath

her assistance in half an hour. The
motorist believed she was confronted
with an impairment of the cars

Ben Tillotson and Gardner Mil
lard, while beating their way on a
southbound Southern Pacific passen-
ger train Wednesday morning, were
the victims of a peculiar accident
while passing through tunnel No 49,
Tillotson has a severe cut on the
back of his head, and Millard is suf-
fering from the shock of a violent
explosion. Both reached Medford
on Wednesday morning and asked
for medical care from the city and
county authorities.
According to Millard, with a num-
Der of others they were riding on

the south outlet a violent explosion
occurred, Tillotson being hit on the
head with a rock from the roof of
the tunAel and Millard being dazed.
Others riding on the blind" noticed
the shock, but suffered no i'll effects.
The two men and their compan-
ions on the train seem to think that
the explosion was caused by dyna-
mite cap placed in the timbers of the
tunnel and set off by a spark from
the locomotive. No damage was done
by the explosion to the tunnel. Rail-
road employees said that in their
opinion the ncussion was caused
by gas. if at all. The railroad COM
pany has been more or less bothered
of late by finding of dynamite along
the track in tnat district, and this
may be one result.

Washington, Oct 5.-In a gallant
assault the American marines and
bluejackets yesterday drove the Mic
araguan revolutionary leader, Gen
eral Zaledon, and his forces from the
Coyotepe and Marranca hills near
Mayasa, after 81 minutes of fight
ing, but in the action four privates
of the United States marine corps
were killed and a number wounded.
The victory of the Americans opened
the way for the Nicaraguan govern
ment troops to assault the town of
Masaya, which they took from the
revolutionists and its starving inhab-
itants were relieved.
The revolutionist losses were
heavy, while the government lost 100
killed and 100 wounded. Zaledon
escaped, but later was cornered and
killed by troops of the federal cav

rines and bluejackets under Lieuten-
ant Colonel Charles G. Long are

COLONIST RUSH EXPECTED.
Railroads Expect Large Western
Movement This Fall.

Chicago, Oct. Preliminary re-
ports received by railroads operating
westward from Chicago indicate that
colonist travel this fall will be much
heavier than last year.
The so-called colonist period this
year began September 20 and will
end October 10. The sale of colonist
tickets last year extended over a
period of 80 days. A decision was
reached by the various lines interest
ed few weeks ago to curtail the
period this fall to 15 days. The in
fluence of several Pacific coast termi-
nal lines was responsible for this
change.
A report issued by the Rock Island
road shows that 127 colonists left
over the lines of that company last
Tuesday night for Pacific and north
Pacific coast points. The one-way
colonist fare from Chicago to the Pa
cific slope is $3S. From st. Louis it
is $37 and from Missouri river points
$50.
In addition to the Rock Island,
other roads handling colonist busi-
ness are the Burlington, Chicago &
Northwestern, Santa Fe, Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul, Illinois Cen
tral, Chicago Great Western, Chicago
& Eastern Illinois and Wabash.

Before the primaries Senator
Bourne astonished Oregon and the
nation by announcing that he would
make no personal appeal to the vot-
ers. He asserted that he stood pat
on his record as a progressive repub-
ncan and as competent representa-
tive of Oregon in the senate.

The people of Oregon are on trial,

want me, well and good; if not, |
shall be satisfied with their verdict
at the polls"
Senator Bourne during the cam
paign preceding the primaries did not
enter Oregon. Consequently he was
beaten by Ben Selling, a Portland
merchant, though he polled heavy
vote
Senator Bourne was prominently
mentioned at the state convention of
the bull moose party recently in con-
nection with the nomination of that
party for United States senator.
When the bull moose failed to
nominate Senator Bourne his friends
began the circulation of petitions ask
ing him to run on an independent

pected to bring to a climax in con-
gress the dispute over the right of
this government to intervene in Mic

Less than a month ago Acting Sec
retary Huntington Wilson served
formal notice upon the Nicaraguan
government of the policy of the
United States ito take measures for
an adequate legation to guard at
Managua, to keep open communica-
ton and to protect American life and
property.
The Nicaraguan government has
already declared it's willingness and
even anxiety that the United States
should act after finding itself fully
engaged in fighting the rebels.
State department officials are fully
prepared for any adverse criticism of
the American naval forces. This an
swer will probably be given in an
elaborate memorandum to be sub
mitted to congress by the state de-
partment at the beginning of the

LACK OF FRESH AIR.
Not One Person in a Hundred Gets
Enough, Says Expert.

Probably not more than one per-
son in every hundred, taking the
country as a whole, gets enough
fresh air to ward off the ordinary
attacks of dangerous infections and
contagious Diseases" says DR.. Liv-
ingston Farrand, executive secretary
of the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis, in a statement issued from the
associations headquarters in New
York.
People" continues Dr. Farrand,
fail to get enough fresh air either
because their lungs or other respira-
toy organs are affected. or, more
generally, simply because they do not
open the windows and doors. For
the former class hpysician is need
ed, but for the latter, plain direction
on how to live, work, play and sleep
in the open air will do more than
hospitals and drugs.
Failure to get enough fresh air
by working and sleeping in poorly
ventilated, Overcrowded rooms is one
of the most prolific causes of tuber-
culosis, and also of a host of other
infectious diseases. This free gift
of nature is probably the worlds best
medicine, not only in the treatment
but also in the prevention of dis
ease"
