FOX ID BE HERE
 FOR GRAND JURY
REPORT THAT HE WOULD COM PROMISE AND LEAVE CITY
 IS STOUTLY DENIED.
Prosecution of the SwindIe Cases Will be Taken up at Proper Term And Complete Case Will be
 Shown.

Reports in effect that Frank Fox of Terre Haute, who had been swin. died out of $20000 by confidence men in this city, lad left and that his at torneys would consider the matter of compromise, were. stoutly denied yesterday.
 Fox is here yet, and says he in- tends to stay until the prosecution is finished and that he would not be satisfied with a return of his money. In brief he asserts that this is now battle in the courts to put the men in the penitentiary who rob. bed him, just as soon as the cases can be gotten before the courts in satis- factory manner.
 Nothing new has been learned of the three men, Joe Denton, George Ryan and Ward, who had been charg- ed in. warrants as being implicated in the swindle, but who have never as yet been arrested. They are at large, but the prosecution still be- lieves they are within Garland county and that they will be appTehended within a short time.
 In the meanwhile, the prosecution asserts, the small details in connec- tion with the cases are being worked out. and the state hopes to have a complete case to present to the grand jury which sits the last Monday in March, and which 1t is hinted will be grand jury composed of the leading business men of Hot Springs.

HOPMEN REPLY TO
PRESIDENT HOMAN

Editor Capital Journal:
President Homan Of the Willamette
University has appealed to the business
men and voters in general Of Salem to
vote out the saloon on November 4. His
whole cry is "Tbe saloon must go.H
Mr.. Homan knows that when he states
this he is not stating the real question
that is confronting the voters Of Sa.
lem at that time. He knows that the
issue on which the people Of Salem will
vote on the fourth day Of November is
"For prohibition" or "Against pro-
hibition,"
He knows that il the vote should be
'For prohibition, it would not only
wipe out the legally licensed saloon, but
it, would also prevent the purchase
within Salem Of any alcoholic beverage.
1t would say to every individual, "You
shall not exercise your personal right
and privilege as free born citizen Of
the United States Of America to pur.
chase openly and above board the bev-
erage that it has been your custom and
desire to purchase these many years. "
Condemns Manufacture.
II prohibition carries in Salem, II
not alone condemns the sale Of alcohol
ic beverages, but it equally condemns
the manufacture thereof; and it abso'
lutely follows that IL condemns the
raising and selling Of hops; the selling
Of Royal Ann cherries for Marischinc
purposes; the selling Of barley for brew
ling purposes and tho various fruits for
the purposes of manufacturing other
alcoholic beverages.
Iu other words, under the pretext Of
voting out the saloon, a death blow il
to be dealt some Of the most important
industries Of the business life and pros
Iperity Of the city Of Salem. Such
would be the natural consequences and
Mr. Homan must certainly have been
aware Of the situation.
The question before the yotor Of sa
lem is, therefore, not alone the saloon
but prohibition and all It's consequences
