cit seems to me that the police force
has been in the habit of making as few
arrests as possible in cases where the
law against disorderly conduct is Icing
violated" said Chairman Minton, of
the police committee, today, when ap-
preached concerning the general fight
which took place at the west end of the
Willamette bridge last Saturday after
noon.
"It was not right and proper for the
local police to advise the young men
participants in the fight to go over into
Polk county to settle their troubles, "
said Mr., Minton, "and | don't approve
of that method which the officers adop-
ted of settling trouble arising between
these people, believe it is fact that
by reason of the row which occurred in
Salem last Saturday afternoon in the
rear of the Lawrence store, violation
of the ordinance occurred and that the
police should have acted as they are
directed along such lines. This laxity
in enforcing the laws of the city acts
as an incentive for those desiring to
raise trouble, and / believe these ordi-
nances should be upheld strictly to the

London, March 18.--King George of
Greece was assassinated in Athens to-
day, according to an unconfirmed dis
patch from Salonica to local news
agency,
The Greek delegation here admitted it
had heard rumors of the assassination
of King George, but declared no con-
firmation had been received. Reuters
news agency, however, carried an un'
qualified dispatch to the effect that the
king was assassinated at Salonica.
The first report of the assassination
received here came in telegraphic
dispatch from Vienna.
King George was assassnated at sa-
lonica, where he was at the head Of n
division of the Greek army, according
to news agency dispatches. News Of
his death reached Paris, Berlin, Rome
and other capitals simultaneously, but
confirmation is still lacking. King
George had been at SalOnica since De
cember, when the city surrendered to
the Balkan forces.
Queen Olga had been in the fieL,
much of the time with King George. An
attempt to assassinate the king in 1898
failed.
The heir to the throne of Greece is
Crown Prince Constantine, who is now
at Janina, commanding the Greek
troops there

Is This Stretching Truth2

During D. w. Gibson s administration
as chief of police, three different
crowds of young men were advised to
go to Polk county to fight. Jim Lewis
acted as adviser of two crowds, while
a special officer by the name of John
Longcore directed the third band. Dur.
ing the administration of Ira Hamilton,
ex.0fficer Whitlatch even conducted
fourteen men to the Polk county line
on the bridge and told them "to go at
it," During this same administration,
ex.Officers Thompson and Gains told
two different parties who were deter.
mined to fight in front of local res.
taurant to go to Polk county if they
wanted to settle their argument by fis.
tic encounter. Now, the present police
force admits, through the press, that
another band Of peace violators was ad,
.vised to cross the bridge to fight.
1t has become a by.ward in Salem
"fighting circles" to GO to Polk coun
ty to see a good, unmolested battle
and apparently the last dictum of the
police is no exception to the rule.

BURNED TO DEATH IN
CONVICT FARM Cage
Negro Prisoners Literally Trap
ped Like Flies In Anti
quated Jail.

Jackson, Miss, July 24.-Trap-
ped by the flames in the second
floor of an Anticipated convict
cage" or Jail, thirty-fve negro
prisoners were burned to death at
the Oakley convict farm, twenty
miles from here, late last night
While the flames ate away the
only stairway leading to the second
floor the p isoners tore vainly at
the bars that covered the Jail win
dows. Their screams brought pris-
on attaches, but the flames drove
back members of the rescue party.
The convicts worked in the cot
ton fields of the State farm. and
were housed in the cage" at night.
The wooden cage in which the
convicts were confined was built
ten years ago from old lumber ia
ken from the penitentiary building
in Jackson when that structure was
destroyed to make room for the
new State house 1t was a two
story building. with only one means
of entrance, and a narrow stairway
leading from the first floor to the
second. Hay. corn and molasses
were stored on the first food.
Except on the Parchman farm,
all of the cages in which prisoners
are confined are of similar construc-
ton and without any fire fighting
facilities.
Last nights disaster has brought
forth another volley of criticism
against the members of that body,
c. c. Smith. w. A. Montgomery
and Leroy Taylor. are now under
indictment for malfeasance in Of
fee. Col. Montgomery is on trial
now. c. C. Smith. Chairman of the
board. was convicted last week of
grating and given a five-year sem
tence in the penitentiary.
