DEFENSE MAKING
A GOOD SHOWING
Testimony Shows the Lowest Bidder
Was Not Given Contract by the
County Court.

Portland, Or, May 23.-Efforts on
the part of the defense to show irregu-
larities in the matter of awarding con
tracts for furniture and plumbing fix
lures in the newly completed Multno-
nah county court house occupied the
time of today's session in the criminal
libel case Of the State against the
Portland Daily News and Dana Sleeth,
its editor for the publication of an arti.
Gle in which the official acts Of Coun-
ty Commissioner Lightner and County
Judge Cloeton were commented upon.
That the bid of his company to do
the plumbing in the east wing of the
new court house was turned down,
though it was some $l4OO or $500 less
than the next lowest bid, was testified
to by Charles A. Shea, of the ]. F. Shea
Plumbing company. The Shea bid, ac-
cording to testimony was $13,240 and
the bidders also furnished a bond of
fifty per cent of this amount as an evi.
dence of good faith,
Shea said he was not given the con-
tract because the architects demanded
that his bid in connection with it, that
all the supplies be purchased from the
Crane company,
W. G. Hendricks, city salesman for
the J. X Gin company, an office sup
ply concern, was given contract to
furnish the county superintendent s Of
flee only after he had submitted bids
calling for 10 to 20 per cent less than
that asked by the Glass & Prudhomme
company, which was supplying the fur.
niture on a blanket contract.

 STOCKHOLDERS

Stockholders in the Faulkner Coun- ty Fair Association will probably be assessed sum sufficient to liquidate the debts of the association and defray necessary expenses until the next fair is held, if the plans of some of those interested in the organization are car ried out. Another attempt was made last night to hold the annual stock holders meeting, but less than ma jority of the stock was represented. Those present, however, discussed fav- orably the plan of assessment as stated
 To give all the stockholders an op- portunity to be heard on the matter, the meeting adjourned to meet to- night at 80 o'clock at the courthouse. At this meeting the assessment plan will be either adopted or rejected and four new directors will be elected.

WHITE TO APPEAL
 FROM SIOO FINE

An appeal to circuit court will be taken by R. D. White of the White Drug Co.,, from a fine of S1OO and costs imposed upon him in the court of Mayor w. H. Duncan yesterday, for Sabbath breaking. In statement sent to this paper Mayor Duncan de- ; clares the fine was assessed after per sonal observation of the alleged viola tion of the Sunday ordinances and up- on complaint of number of citizens. The fine is the maximum penalty un- der the ordinance. MT. White states tha the does not deny keeping his drug store open on Sunday, but declares that the law, as construed by Attorney General w. l.. Moose, does not forbid the sale of soft drinks or cigars by drug stores on Sunday. The appeal will probably come up for trial at the January term of the Faulkner circuit court.
