Rumor Of New
Party In State
Is Confirmed

Possibility that another political
party will be launched in Oregon is
revealed in the visit to Salem of F.. T.
Johns, of Portland, who came down
Friday to inquire into the legality o,
such party organization under the
name of the socialist-labor party.
Several officials with whom Mr..
Johns conferred questioned the right
Of the prposed new party to embody
in it's title the word Socialist" for
the reason that there already is a
recognized socialist organization in
this state. AS result of this question
being raised the petitions creating the
new party will not be filed with the
secretary of state until such time as
the attorney general has an opportun-
ity to pass on thel egality of the pro-
posed title. Should the Attorney gem
eral rule adversely to the title the
organization probably will be known
as the industrial labor party.
1t was stated here that Mr.. Johns
already had circulated petitions
throughout the state and had obtained
signatures of more than per cent
of the registered voters who have de-
clared their intention of forming the
new party. Obtaining of these sigma
lures to petitions is made necessary
under law providing that when new
political parties are formed after the
primary election they must file with
the secretary of state petitions COM
tanning at least per cent of the vot-
ers of the state before gaining recog-
nition.
Although Mr.. Johns would make no
extended comment, he intimated to
friends that candidates for at least a
part of the state, county and district
Offices would be placed in November.
Whether the new party has any con-
nection with the non-partisan league,
which is at present waging cam
paign for support in various sections
of Oregon, could not be determined by
officials.

Money Making
Machine Leads
To Pairs Arrest

Spokane, Wash, July 17.-An in
genious money making" machine
which apparently manufactured mon
ey with rapidity, ease and in unlimited
quantities, was on display here today
following the arrest yesterday of two
men who were bound over to the Uni
ted States grand jury on charges of
photographing United States obliga-
tions.
The pair, Charlie Fills and Tom
Garvelos, police and federal authori-
ties assert, operated the machine be-
fore credulous countrymen and were
making fine progress in selling it, un-
til they photographed real currency
which they pulled from the business
end' of the contrivance. Sight of the
brand new currency, the officers de-
clared, always resulted in riot over
who should have the privilege of buy
ing the machine. Incidentally, the
new money brought about the arrest
of the makers" They are held under
$4,000 bonds.

The allies made some minor modi-
