AGENTS
VERY BUSY JUST NOW
Strenuous Efforts Being Made to Get
Their Products Adopted by State
Commission.

The Oregon state textbook commits
sion, which will, on June 2, meet in Sa-
lem to adopt textbooks for use in the
schools of Oregon for the next six
years, has been besieged by agents of
the various publications. 1t is stated
that nearly three score firms have been
importuning the commissioners, who are
making careful study of the situation.
T. M. Baldwin, E. E. Bragg, William
L. Brewster, Margaret j. Cosper and
John P. O'Hara are the commissioners
Mr.. Brewster, who is Portland attor-
ney, has been giving up much of his
time. Only one interview can be Sc.
cured by an agent from him, but he is
given an opportunity to fully explain
his wares at that time.
Miss Cosper is the only Salem mem
ber of the commission, Baldwin lives
at Prineville, Bragg at La Grande and
Brewster and o 'Hara at Portland.
Everyone knows what pest the av-
erage book agent makes of himself, and
it is reliably stated that many of the
agents for the big school publication
companies live up to the reputation of
the common lesser fry. However, the
state commission is said to be holding
them to reasonable bounds, and is not
depending on their statements by any
means in making selections.

the family to France, and tries to make
them enjoy high society life.
Here she finds marquis whom she
desires Esmeralda to marry, and, after
many complications, Dave Hardy, who
has followed them to Europe, and who
turns out to be a millionaire, and the
iron ore deposit that seemed to be on
the Rogers farm turns out to be on his,

 M Graft Crusade
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH l


 NEW YORK March 15.-The first conviction in the district attorneys crusade against grafters in the police department was obtained this after noon. John J. Hartigan. patrolman was found guilty of perjury.
 Hartgan acted as agent for high police officials to bribe witnesses against them to leave the state Hartigan was alluded to by District Attorney Whitman in summing up as a discarded victim of the system sacrificed to protect one of its pill lars. The prosecutor referred to Dennis Sweeney, a denoted inspector who awaits trial on thirteen graft indictments, as the man for whom Hartigan had perjured himself.
 Hartigan, according to the prosecu- tion's claim was working directly for Sweeney. and aided the system by bribing George A. Sipp, the informer to leave the jurisdiction of the New York courts. The charge of perjury against Hartigan arose from his de- nial before the grand jury that he carried bribe money from Sweeney to Police Captain Walsh.
