Old Swiindle
Again Being
Used In Paris
By Newton C. parke.

Paris, Dec. 1.-THE famous
Spanish swindle," which has reg
istered its hundreds Of victims in
almost every civilized country Of
the globe, continues in operation
only through the connivance of
the Spanish police, according to
high French police official quoted
by the Matin.
Recently new victims have been
registered in France and the police
have appealed to the press to IS
sue fresh warnings.
The scheme of fraud first made
its appearance in 1871. Sudden
ly wealthy business men by the
thousands all over the globe be-
gan receiving Letters signed by n
person who described himself as
prisoner for debt in Spanish
jail. The tenor of all the letters
was about the same.
II have a trunk containing a
large amount of money hidden in
a certain place." wrote the iris
oner" IF you come to Spain and
meet lone of my friends whose
1 name you will afterward learn
and give him enough money TO de-
fray certain expenses connected
with getting the trunk will share
the treasure with you"
To persons residing in the Unit
ed States or far distant countrie.
the Spanish prisoner asked that
money be cabled to one of his
friends, promising a rich reward
when he left jail and regained his
trunk.
| Within a year niter the hand oi
swindlers began operations two OF
them were arrested and ieported
to the Philippines, then Spanish
possession. The following year 15
more were arrested, but since 1873
the French police declare, not q
single arrest has been made.
French victims became so nu-
merous that the minister of the
interior in 1897 caused public
warnings to be issued throughout
the country. The French foreign
office even protested to the Span
ish government at Madrid, but
without avail. The French police
now believe that the swindlers
have formed themselves INTO a
band SO rich and influential that
they control high Spanish prison
and police officials and work with
out fear.

To the Editor: Section 41O3 OF
the oregon laws provides that the
secretary of state shall publish a
pamphlet before the election con-
aa,ning the measures to be voted
nm and also the arguments offered
Tor or against the passage OF tnem-
It provides that the parties o.
fering such arguments shall ior
the paper and printing Of his ar
euments. One copy of this pam
phlet is sent to each registered
voter in the state before the day OF
alaction. This is a fair law, as IL
gives both sides an equal chance
There were abour 100000 ssE-
,stered voters in Oregon before the
snecial election Of last June ana
! copy Of this pamphlet was sent
n each containing the arguments
IN favor OF passing these bills, put
q contained NO arguments against
the passage Of any. Why?
The legislature made provision
that those favoring the. passage OF
the proposed measures could nave
10 pages free Of any charge put
made no provision to publish any
negative arguments, except in one
bill. They allowed two pages for
arguments against women being
on the jury. The two pages were
not used.
More than that the legislature
made provision that a committee
be appointed for each measure TO
he voted on. The duties OF these
different committees were to write
in favor OF the proposed bills, but
It did not provide for even one
person to write against any meas
ure. We find that 26 persons were
appointed to write In favor OF
passiny the proposed measures ana
LuelT uIbuniChtS "NA~
and put in the hands OF every vot-
er In the state, the taxpayer pay
ing for 1t all. But they made no
provision for the overloaded tax
payer to be heard.
OF the 26 persons appointed to
write in favor of these bills four
were from Multnomah, Clatsop
had three, Washington one, Union,
Morrow and Umatilla two, Douglas
two, Josephine two, Coos one,
Clackamas three and Marion none.
Why7
There was a committee OF ten
ladies appointed to write in favor
of women going on the jury. They
did not give their address, but. I
suppose, that they We're from Port
land.
What will the legislature do?
Will they order a special election
in May? If they do they should
not receive vote from taxpayer.

When returning from the gro
Gerry store Wednesday morning,
little Lucille Bertrand was bitten
by a large dog, but the wound is
not serious. The fright given the
child and mother as we'll as the
neighborhood being about the
greatest done. The doctor was
called and in a few hours the
swelling had gone down and she
was playing as usual. The dog
was lying on the walk in front of
the hardware store and the little
girl was walking backwards talk
ing to some pIaymates, of course
not seeing the dog she stumbled
and fell right over him. Fontu-
nately was not seriously hurt and
also that the bite was on her thigh
and not about the face, but is this
| not a lesson? Why does Elton and
almost every other town have to
| be over run with a lot of worthless
canine. If we would but stop to
consider that it's absolutely again
st the law to allow a dog to run
at large without a muzzle and
have few disposed of it would
be a good radiance and beside
what it actually costs to feed dog
would save the life of a starving
child in Europe. Nuff said" Some
man that loves his dog better than
a child is mad already"
