WILL CO TO BOTTOM Of
POLICE SCANDAL
IN PORTLAND

Portland, Or, Feb. 12.-fTurn on the
lights and go to it," thundered Cir
cult Judge McGinn today in disolving
an injunction granted E. A. Slower, de-
posed captain of police, restraining the
city civil service commission from hear
ing charges Of dereliction of duty on
which Mayor Albee had dismissed him.
eff the charges made are of political
nature, and not founded on fact, the
people should learn of it, and they will
see that justice is done," declared the
judge.
Slower himself had previously applied
for the hearing before the civil service
commission, and then, becoming CON
vinced that Mayor Albee had dismissed
him illegally, had sued for an injunc-
ton restraining the hearing, intending
to seek reinstatement in some other
manner.

 CLOSES MEETINGS

Nashville, May 15.-With the re-elec- ton of Miss F. E. S. Heck and all other officers except two the Woman's Missionary union, which has been meeting simultaneously with the Southern Baptist convention, closed its sessions today.

 Several resolutions were introduced at the closing session of the union which brought fort ha good deal of discussion. Among those was one which was adopted providing for the appoint ment of a committee consisting of one member from each state to investi- gate the advisability of changing the basis of representation at the annual convention. At present each state Is entitled to IS representatives. The committee is to ascertain the sentiment of the state organizations on the sub vention.

Cost of Soul Saving

From the New York Sun.
 What is most curious in the Monday meeting syllabus of anti-Sundayism is the econimic side of the Pittsburg manifesto ton.
 Tt cost Pittsburg sSo,ooO to hear Sunday and 3107 converts were made, or about $SO per convert. The preachers agreed that not more than 12 of those converts would remain faithful, and that $90,00O was a pretty high price to pay for them. The preachers sadr they could do much better themselves at much less cost"
 It may be said that soul is priceless, even a Pittsburg soul; but without IT.

 knowledge of the Lord, the easy ''conver- sions," the easier backs2idings-all this is ancient ground. Billy Sunday is merely an extreme case of familiar type. AS i to his converts, as to those of less rude l "revivalists," the question always re- mains of the permanently of conversions;

There Is nothing prettier for summer than early fall flowers in the garden than asters. For early and mid season asters in this section the plants can be put out in open ground now It is es- pecially desired where plants are to be put direct in the open ground that they should be secured from plants that have been hardened off in cold frames. If plants are to be taken from hothouse grown stock they should then be placed in a frame sheltered with slats before placing in the open ground for about two or three weeks
 It Is very important that the soil should be we'll prepared at once where you wish to plant asters, as much de- bends on the quality of the soil as to the success or the failure. Soil should be made rich and loose
