Market Closes Strong
After Fluctuating Day

New York, Sept. 2l.-Tne New York
Evening Sun financial review today
says:
Although prices in today's session
exhibited market irrcgularity, incident
to cross movements in the speculation
and at times rather sharp declines un-
der professional selling pressure and
realizing operations the general tenden-
cy in the best part of the five hours
of business was in favor of the advo-
Gates of higher quotations.
Selling brought out fair amount of
stock in the equipment shares and for
a brief period in the eoppcrs and steels
but the market again showed great ca
pacity TO absorb offerings. If the
larger interests were testing the
strength of the bull movement and the
character of the public participation
they certainly found remarkably strong
conditions of speculation.
In the last hour decided strength was
reported in most departments, particu-
larly in United States Steel, which
moved up to new high record; the
coppers, Reading and Union Pacific.
Commission house buying was more ac-
tive and thc general market showed a
disposition to expand on the advance,
In the early decline stop orders were
uncovered in the equipment shares, tine
Mercantile Marine and some of the
eoppers, but the selling was brought
to halt under the influence of the best
sort of buying which induced active
covering by the shorts.

Arthur George SOlemnly
Swears He Is Not Dead

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 20.-Arthur
George, of Edmonton, Alberta, was
here today trying to convince the nine
judges of the superior court that he is
not dead.
There was, admittedly, some doubt.
A year ago Mrs. Anna G. George, his
wife from whom he had separated nine
years before, had his "will probated,
giving her possession of 500 worth of
West Seattle property.
Strangely enough, she herself died
soon after.
Learning of his demise" George
hurried to Seattle. He filed com
plant today in superior court in an
attempt to have himself officially
brought to life.
"During my absence,'' The com
plant reads, "my wife had me de-
clared dead, although she knew, or
could have found out that / was alive.
"Solemnly, | declare ] never was
dead, and am not now."

BRIDGE
IN POLK GOES DOWN
Structure at independence
Which Caused Start of
Recall Colapses

The concrete bridge over the slough
at North Independence collapsed yes
terday.
The construction of this bridge con.
stitutes one of the principal items upon
which are based the movement for q
recall of the county court of Polk coun-
ty, and as a natural consequence that
movement has taken fresh impetus.
1t is stated in the recall petition
that the county court tore out a steel
bridge and a heavy fill within the cor
porate limits of Independence and con
structed a new fill and bridge without
any necessity existing for such action.
Also it is stated that the work was ac-
complished with money levied for the
construction of the county bridge across
the river at Salem. Other charges are
that the court employed private sur
veyor to do the work, ignoring the
legally elected county surveyor, and
that the work was characterized by
general extravaganza and the insurring
of obligations in excess of the amount
levied in that district for the pur-
pose
Tobin & Stevens of Portland, con
tractors, constructed the new bridge.
The contract price was $4,000. 1t is
stated that the bridge had not been for
mally accepted by the county court,
but that the records show the con
tractors to have received their pay, with
the exception of $7l5 for extras, which
has been in dispute. Purcell & Clark
of Portland furnished the plans for the
bridge.
The statement is made that the coun-
ty clerk of Polk county is unable to find
any bond filed by the contractors
guaranteeing satisfactory perform
ance of the work. but that there is such
a bond is affirmed by those who claim
to know.
The bridge is about 100 feet long. In
addition to the abutment supports there
are four concrete piers about Is feet
high 1t is said that when the forms
were removed one of these piers
crumbled down, and the roadway sank
about four feet, breaking away at each
end. Had it not been for the steel rods
running through the structure it is be-
lieved the entire bridge would have
crashed into the gulch.
The architects are looking the situa-
ton over today with view OF determ-
ining whether or not the bridge can be
repaired.

For Local Censorship.

The Index wishes TO commend the
protest OF Prof. w. II. Hand on the
menace of many of the moving pic
lures being shown in this place.
Readers of the Index will recall that
this paper has frequently mentioned
the need of stricter censorship.
GreenY'le has taken an advanced
step in this behalf and not only
Greenwood but all other towns in
the state should follow Greenville's
example. Understand now. this is
not directed at any picture show
The proprietors take a service which
has been duly censored and they do
not know what is coming to them
in the way of pictures; but some of
these censored pictures are not pic
lures which children ought to see.
We do not understand the attitude
of so many parents in this matter
Suggestion: Let the ministers OF
this and other towns prepare a re-
quest to council to name a local
board of censors. The moving pic
ture people will not object; they will
doubtless heartily cooperate. -

that Governor Manning has done du-
ring his administration that would
have been done differently by Mr..
Cooper had the latter occupied the
Governors chair. Both are men OF

purposes, and the Laurens mans
candidacy is not so much a protest
against any act of Governor Man

ambition which Mr.. Cooper or any
body else has a perfect right to pos.

less, is singularly unfortunate. com.

reflecting public sentiment.
Dissatisfaction with the campaign
