TESTIMONY TAKEN IN CASE
INVOLVING M'CoLLoCH

Counsel for plaintiff, in the taking of
testimony in the suit of the corporation
department to compel State Treasurer
Kay to honor warrants of Senator Nc
Colloch as an employe of the depart
ment, has attempted to prove that
Senator McColloch was an assistant to
Corporation Commissioner Watson, and
not employed as special attorney. At
torney-General Crawford represented
the state treasurer, introducing evil
dence tending to prove that Senator
McColloch has been employed at sal
ary of 1925 month by the corporation
department and salary of 1925 a
month by the State Industrial Accident
Commission to attend to their legal
work.
1t is the contention of the defense
that the commission cannot employ
special counsel, and that the law speci-
fies that the attorney-general and dis
trict attorneys must represent them in
court.
District Attorney Evans Of Portland,
testified that arrangements had been
made to appoint Senator McColloch a
deputy district attorney of Multnomah
county, so that he could gather evil
dence and assist in the prosecution of
corporations which had not complied
with the provisions Of the blue sky
law. Newspaper clippings giving in
effect the information that Mr.. Watson
intended Senator McColloch to perform
legal services were read, and the writ
ers virtually said that they understood
Mr.. Watson to say that he wished Sen
ator McColloch to do legal work. The
commissioner insisted that the senator
was employed simply as an assistant.

received from the defendants in 1904,
1000 shares of Oregon Water Power &
Railway company stock, which was
controlled by Morris Bros, for services
performed by him. He averred that the
defendants sold the stock, and asked
for an accounting.
Morris Bros, denied that they had
made an arrangement with the plaintiff
to give him 1000 shares of stock and
denied that court of equity had juris-
diction. The court, however, held to
the contrary, it having jurisdiction be-
cause of the fiduciary relationship be-

First Glass Men to Go.
UNITED PRESS LEASED w1RE.l

San Francisco, Jan. 5.-Major Frank
Pooley, British army officer, retired,
has been busy man, following the an
nouncement that he was arranging for
the transportation for 100 husbands-to-
be to Easter island, where the dusky
native bellies are waiting for their COM
ing. So far 40 were entered in the
preliminary race for bride.
Candidates for matrimonial honors
made their way to the dock of the
Alaska Pacific Steamship company, at
the foot Of Folsom street, in huge
crowds long before the noon hour, and
when the major appeared to begin the
selection, fully 500 men surged about
the gateway.
In single file the crowd thronged in
and out of the registration office, where
PoOley gave each quick appraisal, ac-
cepting or rejecting each candidate
with single glance.
"Here, my man, what have you come
for7" was the question put to a small
individual who had managed to squeeze
through the jam.
"Why, want to go down to Easter
island, of course"
"Nothing doing, my lad" kindly ex.
planned Pooley. 'EWe want real men
for this colonization to the South
Seas.
"Now, men," he continued, address
ing the crowd. "I can see that many
of you are not fit. I don't want my
time wasted, so those of you who are
not the right kind may as well beat
it,"
This was enough for fully one.half
who hurried away and Joined the
odd thousand stevedores who were
massed along the Embaracaredo.
Major Pooley is a determined per
son, and is determined that only the
best type of men shall go to the South
Seas. Of the total number that ap
peared, only 40 names were placed
among the possibilities.
"I shall take about week for thu
registration and will then lay the prop
osition before the crowd to accept O.
reject" he explained. "By that tim'
I expect to have the names of abou
300. Two-thirds of these will be elm
mated in the final selection"

HOW YOU MAY THROW

they can dispense with glasses If they

orders, report wonderful benefits from
the use of this free prescription. Get
this prescription filled and use it; you
may so strengthen your eyes that glass

The folk of Jonesville had neither
loved him nor revered him; he had

would never sell out to the gum trust;

the factory would operate; if the fac

tainty spread mild panic through the

over what the new owner Of the fac

fectly well known trust plans was
quite as keen as anyone's, but his dig
nifty forbade that he should make dis
