said c. ]. Bowman, secretary of

president of the Bowman & Bull
company, last night.
1t is not a question of people
refraining from eating eggs be-
cause of the high prices, he said.
The shortage is so serious that
there will not be any eggs to eat.
1t is not a matter of combination
or a conspiracy of capital. The
hot weather of last July and Au-
gust spoiled the eggs. The sup
ply was short. Some few men
were far-sighted enough to buy
heavily. when the buying was
good. and they can hardly be
blamed for taking advantage Of
the market. Men who have not
eggs would gladly cut the throats
of those who have. In our busi-
ness it is every man for himself.

A sweeping line of investiga.

Mrs. c. Franklin Leavitt said
she was anxious for light at the

1t has grown quite popular lately to
criticize the lawyers. Due attention
has been given the
The "Frame-up" shyster, the am
Lawyer. bulance chaser, the
quibbler and vari-
Gus other types of unethical and JUS
tice- blocking barristers. But what of
the "frame-up" lawyer, he that, know
ing his client to be wrongful in his
contentious or guilty as charged de-
liberately sets about to manufacture
case that will defeat the ends OF
justice? Is he not one of the most
dangerous members of his profes-
sion?
The practice of framing up a
case is by no means as uncommon as
some might think. 1t is quite pre-
valent wherever the legal profession
has its disciples. There are any
number of attorneys in the United
states who employ this means of win
ming a fee and reputation for sue
cess. Oregon has her share of them
and there is a strong suspicion that a
few members Of the Umatilla county
bar are quite accomplished in frame
up methods.
And the practice is by no means
confined to those lawyers who are
notorious for off-color methods. 1t is
used more or less by many lawyers
who enjoy high ranking in their pro-
fession, and they seem to be respected
no less for it. Perhaps they are i'm
PEELED by a desire to become known
as winning lawyers or maybe victory
i3 crowned with higher fees. Or,
doubtless, they feel that they are en-
ployed to win and are expected to do
their utmost, forgetful perhaps, that
their utmost is supposed to square
with the law which they profess to
champion. At any rate they frame
up the case and If their consciences
are ever troubled, the fact is not to be
detected in their outward demeanor
when the jury brings in a verdict in
their favor. r|i
The extent to which lawyers 60 in
manufacturing evidence varies with
the degree of shrewdness or boldness
possessed by the Trainer" Some
times it is governed by his degree of
honesty.
The method Of procedure is simple
stealing horse. The district attorney
has some damaging evidence against
him. His general character is bad.
In fact he is guilty as charged. His
attorney knows this or at least sus-
poets it strongly. He cannot discover
any real evidence to disprove IT But
his client has many friends all Of his
own ilk to whom a lie is a friend in
need and who know that false testi-
mony is not perjury until proved false.
They are easily rallied to the defense
Of their fellow in distress. They are
carefully rehearsed in a very plaus-
ible story and one after another re-
peat il on the witness stand. Then II
the defense has not proved an alibi
or shown that the defendant bought
the horse. traded for it. or is a thor
oughly upright and honest citizen, IL
has at least so confused the jurymen
that they are hopelessly divided il
they don't acquit.

SPIRITS.

SPIRITS.
Angel spirits of sleep,
White-robed, with silver hair,
In your meadows fair,
Where the willows weep,
And the sad moonbeam
On the gliding stream
Writes her scatter'd dream:
Angel spirits of sleep,
Dancing to the weir
In the hollow roar
OF its waters deep;
Know We how men say
That ye haunt no more
Isle and grassy shore
With your moonlit play;
That ye dance not here,
White-robed spirits of sleep,
All the summer night
Threading dances light?

BRINGS FEAR !
AMERICAN WARS :
Troops MaSsed on Border.
Treasury Of Mexico Is
Found Looted.

Meantime the treasury of Mexico,
which ultimately was to be drawn
upon for restitution, had been sacked
and looted until a hoard formerly
amounting to millions was found to
total little over $4,000.
All over Mexico the same general
story of damage has been reported,
although in no case to such a serious
extent as in the capital city. The con-
dition of unrest and outlawry in the
rural and mining districts led the
American resident investors to arm
themselves and fortify their property.
Mines in Sonora and other states were
placed under martial guard. CannCns
were mounted about the pits and the
colIieries, and stores Of ammunition
were laid In.
The latest authentic estimate Of
American interests in Mexico places
! the total at over $1,0OO000,OO0. This
sum is 25 per cent more than the capt
tai invested by the Mexicars them
selves and is twice as much as the In
vestments of all the other nations
combined. This capital covers mining
and smelling properties, railroads, agri-
cultural and industrial enterprises, oil
wells, plantations and ranches.
The Guggenheims, or the American
Smelling and Refining interests, head
the list Of investors.

general Central American uprising
has been freely surmlsed by close OBJ

According to rumors, 1t was thei
plan to overthrow the governments o
Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragu
and to combine these countries into

sphere he should therefore be respon-
slble for the interests Of those coun'
tries forbidden to protect their own
interests. Military experto say a war
with Mexico would mean much guer-
rllla fighting.
How seriously the various countries
were involved was shown by the
losses of the American citizens In the
City Of Mexico. When the Americans
yentured to their homes after the days
OF bombardment and street battles
they discovered great havoc. Claims
presented to the United States officials
and In turn forwarded to the state De
partment totaled sum over $o'OOO'
600. AnG the foreign residents OF oth
or nationaitles suffered an equally
heavy loss.

President Taft in ordering force Of
1900 troops massed on the frontier.
Ten thousand troops were ordered to
points along the gulf Of Mexico, 5000
marines along the Mexican border, and
large numbers Of marines were con-
centrated at Guantanamo.
Six battleships have been kept at
Mexican ports for days, and smaller
American vessels have been kept pa.
trolling Central American waters.
Major General William II. Carter,
commanding the second division Of the
reorganized army, was put in charge
of the American forces. The regiments
were taken from scattered points about
the country.
International war among the Latin
nations of Central America and one
involving the United States has been
the bugaboo confronting this country
grimly throughout the trouble. 1t has
been clearly estimated that interven.
ton by the United States would pre-
cipitate conflict with Mexico lasting
at least two years and costing innumer-
able lives and millions of dollars. The
warning Mexican factions would unite
against the United States.
Yet certain European countries have
clamored for just such move. 1t was
pointed out to Uncle Sam that since he
