Salem.-The labors Of the legisia-
tive assembly of 1913 have added S77
new laws to the Oregon codes. OF
the-new laws 10 are due to the pas
sage OF bills OF the 1911 session and
30 OF the recent session over the veto
Of the governor, including the general
appropriation bill, while 3S7 were eth
er approved by the governor or filed
without his signature.
Three features marked the final ses-
sion of the legislative assembly prior
to sine die adjournment. One was the
ease with which bills were passed over
the veto whenever desired; another
the consideration of vetoed measures
on their merits. and the third the
speed shown in the transaction Of bus
mess.
UnquestionabIy many Of the meas
ures passed were Of first importance,
the list including the workmen's COM
pensation act, good roads legislation,
the agricultural college extension
work bill, the minimum wage measure
for women and minors. the Widows
pension bill, laws affecting judicial
procedure and the appropriations for
the Panama. Pacific Exposition. the Co
lumbia Southern irrigation project. de-
tail survey Of state resources and in
vestigation Of water power at Cello.

Postoffice Inspector Says That

INDIANAPOLIS Nov. Twin,

INDIANAPOLIS Nov. William
T. Fletcher. postofice inspector, Is
sued a statement today in which he
declared that II the collection Of the
mails from sub-stations by the street
car companies. which is under con-
tract to the goyernment. was inter
fered with because of the strike OF
street ear men the government would
begin an investigation and make ar
rests. The statement declared the
mails must be collected on regular
time.
After an hour OF more Of rioting in
the center Of the business section. the
mounted police were called out and
drove the crowd away from the cars.
An attempt was made to pull one OF
the mounted officers from his horse
but he pulled his mount around and
rode down the crowd.
Rioting broke ont anew shortly be-
fore noon in Washington street near
Meridian street IA trolley wire was
broken down and the crews taken Off
two OF the cars In addition to cut
ting trolley ropes and holding up the
cars, the strikers have turned their
attention to the air containers under
the car and have opened up the valves
on number of cars, releasing the
air. which works the brakes.
The police said they feared many
accidents as the result of this activity
as 1t would be hard to bring the cars
to a standstill. A number of boys are
aiding the strikers in pulling OF
trolleys and opening the air valves.
The police are not in sufficient num-
bers to quell the rioting. They no
sooner dispense one crowd and re-
lease car than the crowd attacks
another car in another section of the
downtown district, So far no trouble
has been reported from the residence
parts of the city.
A repair truck sent out to fix the
broken trolley wires was dragged
away as soon as the wire was pulled
up off the street so that it would not
'endanger the pedestrians. The re-
pair crew finally gave up the attempt
and returned to TIE barns, Merchants
said business was at "a standstiil and
for all the trade they had they might
as we'll close their stores. The police
expect more serious trouble this af-
ternoon when cars are manned by
professional strike breakers, 500 Of
whom are being brought here from
Chicago.

SUPPOSED DEAD MAN
Excitcs Big Crowd but He is Found
to Be Only Dead Drunk.

The cry Of Here's . dead man.
greatly excited the crowds that we're
on the streets in Glen ELK last
night. The excited crowd surged
around an apparently lifeless body
lying on the pavement near the Balti-
more and Ohio depot. Blood covered
his face on which burnt cork had
been freely applied for the celebra-
ton of Halloween. An officer
pushed his way through the crowd,
felt the mans pulse, took a smell OF
his breath, then called another Of
licer, and with his assistance the
man was taken to the police station.
Was he dead? Oh, yes. He was
dead drunk.

And is Besmirchina Our Coun-
try with Mud Of Ruinous
Passions and Egotism.

MEXICO CITY. Nov. 1.-The po-
litical intrigues Of the. White House
against our country have entered a
period Of apparent inertia recently
President Wilson showing himself re-
served, undecided and expectant like
one who prepares a most telling
blow" says Ell Pias in an editorial
article on the situation today. 1t con-
tinues:
The cable. however, In spite of its
laconicism gives a glimpse of the
Vaccinations of the government at
Washington, which may be summar-
lied as follows:
president Wilson has not resolved
to proceed frankly and openly against
Mexico, doubtless because he compre-
hends the colossal injustice OF his
cause. But he searches for allies and
accomplices in the crime against hui
mainly plotted in the White House of
annihilating and despoiling us as in
the time of Santa Anna.
ITO this end all the efforts Of the
puritan president and We know by
recent dispatches that an effort is be-
Ing made TO bring about a combined
diplomatic movement by at least some
of the European powers to sanction
acts which the American government
may attempt against Mexico"
The newspaper says it cannot be-
lleve in the arrangement which Presi-
dent Wilson proposes because in the
world there ar honorable men who
esteem decorum, who keep their
pledged word and who are sincere and
loyal. There are also governments
honorable upright, Just and impartial,
which guard the honor of the country,
which they govern and do not be-
smirch It with the mud OF ruinous
passions and egotistical interests
simply because their victim is weak
and its resources are depleted,

CONFUSION is CAUSED
By INCOME TAX LAW
And Wall Street as a Whole is
in a State of Great
Irritation.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-The inaugu-
ration Of the income tax law was the
cause of much confusion in the f.
nancial district today. institutions
and banking houses which act as ifs
cal agents for railroads and other
corporations were busy receiving and
rejecting coupons, the latter course
being taken IN cases where certff-
Gates of ownership were lacking.
Wall Street as a whole is in state
OF irritation over the whole matter,
its i'll feeling resulting largely from
the attitude of the treasury depart
ment which according TO the street
has several times reversed itself in its
regulations.
At the house of ]. P. Morgan and
Company. the fiscal agents for many
large corporations, coupons were be-
ing received in large amounts sub
iect TO the latest rules issued by
Washington. A representative Of the
firm said that it would take at least
month to pay of all coupons pre-
scented for payment. Heretofore such
coupons used to be made within c
day or two of presentation.
At the Chase National Bank. which
has several thousand out OF town cor
respondents for whom 1t collects
coupons payable in this city. it was
said that coupons are not being ac-
cepted for deposit but only for col
lection. 1t was required that eertif-
Gates accompanying the coupons state
whether the bonds which they repre-
sent were taxable or exempt.

GiL ASS
Factories in All Section of the
Country Where They Exist
Are Now Busy.

PlTTsBURG, Pa, Nov. THE
Glassworker says: ~ 81
Well. they have gotten right down
to business at last and the blast OF
191341914 IS now in full swing with
nearly all the hand window glass
factories in commission. Reports
from the various localities received
by the Glassworker during the week
were to the effect that in large ma
iority of factories an excellent start
was made and very few have noted
any vacant places thus far.
The Masontown Glass Company's
plant was scheduled to resume OPP
erntions yesterday and a few other
concerns experienced slight delay
In getting the jump but the be-
ginning OF next week will witness
practically normal producing condi-
lions throughout the trade as far as
the hand factories are concerned.
The plants at New. bethlehem, Pa,
Manmee, o., and Sandusky, o., are
still idle, but may he placed in OPP
GRAFTON later on. The ,workmen are
satisfied with this years wage set
Element and all are in hopes that
the seasons run will prove to be a
long and prosperous one for all
parties concerned.
Shipments OF new. glass will be
made fR many companies next week.
One OF the first conslgnments re-
ported this season was a carload
which was shipped last Thursday by
the Point Marion Window Glass
Company. This is certainly rather
quick work. considering the fact that
the lrst rollers were turned out by
the blowers only last Monday. other
shipments by various concerns we're
also reported Thursday, but in lesser
quantities.
Demand for glass continues to be
rather brisk and the new product
will no doubt be placed in consun-
ing channels at the earliest possible
moment CONSISTENT with good work.
nanship and proper packing. In
this connection it might be well to
state that hand manufacturers will
this season devote more attention to
packing the glass in good, service
ahlo packages; in fact, there is q
very general movement Throughout:
the country looking toward produc!
my a higher grade-of goods and ship
ping same in more substantial pack
ages.
1T is reported that both the east
ern and western jobbers will hold
meetings within the next two weeks
and matters pertaining to plans for
the present blast Will be discussed
during the sessions.
