City Inspection of public schools will begin today, the Board of Health hav ing elected Dr. S. M.

Shatto was elected school nurse, the other posi tion created by the Council, with a sal ary of ST5 a month. The Council allowed salaries for two school Inspectors, and the name of Dr. L. E. Srory was submitted witn mat of Dr. Gellert, but none of the mem bers of the Board Is personally ac quainted with Dr. Story and wished to defer action until a later date. If Dr. Story proves satisfactory. It is likely he will be elected an inspector. There were four applicants for the position of nurse. Nellie Enoch, Mrs. J. A. French, Margaret lanoy ana turs. Shatto. A unanimous vote waa cast for Mrs. Shatto. The duty of the school nurse will be to work in co-operation with the Inspectors, and especially to assist in the care of children afflicted with Infectious diseases in the homes. and particularly in the foreign quarters.

He said that these two evils, the saloon and the cigarette, produce more deaths In the country than any other features of American life, and he thought It would be well to have a strict enforcement of the laws against liquor and tobacco, as he said there would be no drunkards If the police would enforce the law against the sale of liquor to a drunken man. The matters were referred to Chief of Police Gritzmacher for a report. The Chief said after the meeting that both laws are being enforced, and there are standing; orders posted at headquarters which bear out his as sertion to that effect. There have been numerous arrests for violations of both laws. FALSE ASSJTS CHARGED Mayor o,f Prescott In Jail for Wild cat Banking. ' WALLA WALLA. Wash., Oct. 1. (Special.)

Harris, a real estate man of that city, are lodged In separate celle In the county Jail awaiting a hearing in the Superior Court. Sweet was arrested last Friday, but Harris was not taken until late last night as the necessary proof against him was lacking until then. It Is believed the total amount taken from the Prescott bank will ag gregate In the neighborhood of S10.000, although It may exceed that amount Rood have been set at S4000 each. Up until late tonight neither has secured the money and it is thought they will not be able to do eo. THINK HE USED KNIFE Thomas Said Aot to Have Been Drunk at Time of Murder. BELLINGHAM. Wash., Oct.

These and other facts in their possession, they hope, will convict the man of first degree murder. A Dangerous The only trust having the impudence to openly assert that It is going to elect its own trust representatives to public office is the Ttbor Trust. The election therefore will determine whether the Common Citizens retain control of public affairs, or allow the Labor Trust magnates to govern. The common man loses his liberty when he and his fellow citizens allow any organization or trust to get con trol, for each trust, whether of labor or capital. Is in business to .gather every dollar possible and divide up among the members (if the managers leave any). And where do they gather all thl ATtrn mnnev? Tho Meat, Steel, Oil and other Capital trtiata raise tha nrice of their products. The Labor Trust does tne same thing by boosting the price of the plumoer, meatchonner. ironworker, shoemaker, baker, etc., etc., and by fining them for breaking rules and also fining em- nlnvera. The particular shoemakers, bakers, etc.. etc., who happen to be members of the Labor Trust mar not get much extra money out of it. but the Trust Managers seem to handle heavy sums. Now, to got back to tne question. Where does an tnis money come this extra money both labor and capi tal trusts are striving for? There is only one place for them to get it, my friends, and that is from the pocKet oi the common citizen not a member of any trust. He is the long-suttenng workman who pays to add extra dollars . it., enmlnurs of both Labor and Cnnital Trusts. We admit that both trusts are right enough .in trying to earn all they can. but the citizens tney are reeon y on, absolutely must keep awane ana pro tw-t tnemsbives at the polls and before the courts or the trust members get fatter and the common citizen mm ner. The non-trust citizens are heavily in the majority and protect themselves easily when roused, but they often al low designing men to manipulate poli ticians and laws until the common peo ple are helpless. Why do you speak of the 'Labor Trust?" some one asks. It has been clearly defined as a trust In the fullest sense of the word by tha best lawyers in America, including Clarence Darrow, the attorney for the American Federation of Labor, and by the United States Supreme Court it self. You see, all trusts are formed to ac complish certain things. Control production. Control prices. Control members of the trust. Get the highest price the public will stand. The Meat trust controls and sells meat, the Labor Trust controls and sells labor, both feed off the public, and it is perfectly safe to assume that the managers of either or any trust will "soak" the citizens for every dol lar they can get, only limited ny tne amount of power the people will give f.very one agrees that combinations of capital or labor In the formation of trusts are legal and produce an un certain amount of good. The Oil trust greatly Improved the quality of oil and sells it at about one haif the price It was when the trust was formed. Members of this trust have given several million dollars for colleges, churches and other public works. But what would this trust do to the people if given unlimited power? The Labor Trust has supplied good paying positions for several hundred officials of the trust and has paid out a good many thousand dollars to sup RAISE GRAVE ISSUE Grand Jury Law May Release Many Criminals. IF IT IS RETROACTIVE Motion That "Would Free Those In dicted by District Attorney De nied in Chinese Case, but Will Be Carried Vp. Behind a motion for the discharge of Lem Woon, the Chinese highbinder, which Judge Bronaugh denied, in the Circuit Court, yesterday afternoon, lies an Important issue. It Is the question of whether or not all the prisoners In dicted by District Attorney Manning when he was in office, and who have not received their sentence, shall ob tain their liberty. After denying the motion to free the slayer of Lee Dai Hoy, the Oriental merchant who was shot one night as he was entering his dwelling, Judge Bronaugh stated that Lem will be sentenced to the gallows at 2 P. M. next Monday. Is the grand Jury law passed by the electors last June, retroactive? Does It require that all persons against whom the District Attorney filed In formations, and whose cases were pend ing in the court when the Governor Issued his proclamation June S3, mak ing the constitutional amendment ac tive, shall be taken before the Grand Jury, and the machinery of the law started all over again in each case? These were the questions that were put to Judge Bronaugh yesterday af ternoon. He established a precedent by deciding; that it was not the purpose of the amendment to require Grand Jury investigation of the cases in hand. It is probable that the defend ants will appeal from his decision to the Supreme Court It was the contention of Judge McGinn and Ralph R. Moody, his asso ciate, that the repeal of the Information law took away from the courts of Ore gon the power to try cases on informa tions. He said pending cases should have been laid before the Grand Jury at once, ae there was no clause in the law exempting any cases, new or old. Attorney Dan J. Malarkey argued that it was not the Intent of the votters of the state'in passing the law to liber ate criminals, but rather to promote fairness to all who might be under suspicion. He argued that if the new law Is faulty In this particular, it Is well for the people of the state to know It ae soon as possible, and for the case to be carried to the higher court. The amendment to- section 18 of the Ore gon Constitution, passed by the electors of the state last June, follows: The Legislative Assembly shall so provide that the most competent of the permanent citizens of the county shall be chosen for Jurors; and out of the whole number In attendance at the court, seven shall be chosen by lot as grand Jurors, nve of whom must concur to find an Indictment. No per son shall be charged In any Circuit Court with the commission of any crime or mis demeanor defined or made punishable by any of the laws of this state, except upon port a Union -Printers' Home in Colo rado; it has also spent over a million dollars in defending criminal members brought before the courts, and it has at times tied up industries and squeezed extra money out of the public, but it can never permanently raise wages beyond what the industry can stand. in tact, the highest scale of wages Is paid in factories independent of the Labor Trust. It is universally admitted that the individual quality of the work ing members of the unions has declined and it persistently endeavors to keep our youth from learning trades except in the restricted number set by the trust and entirely under its control. Its warfare and criminal record is something fearful to contemplate. The home. of workmen burned or blown up and other property destroyed has run Into millions of dollars, while the citizens who have been beaten, maimed or murdered aggregate In the past ten years several hundred thous ands. There were over 6000 men assaulted or murdered in one strike (the team sters) in Chicago a few years'ago. All of this violence has been done to es tablish the fact that if the common man asserts his right to freedom and declines to bow down to the orders of the Labor Trust, he must be pun lshed and forced into submission. It has cost the common citizens mil lions of doliars to support police and soldiers to preserve property and pro tect themselves from the attacks of this trust, x Next Move. - Discovering that the people object to being attacked and having their property destroyed, the Labor Trust members conciudo their next step should be to elect members of the Leg islatures and Congress who will change old laws and make new ones, so that the Labor Trust may safely carry on the work and not be punished. Hence the demand that they be exempt from the trust laws and that the hands of our courts be tied so no injunction can be issued to prevent them from picketing. boycotting, slugging or blowing up property. We were treated to a good Illus tration of how trusts work together when some chiefs of the Steel Trust Joined the chief of the Labor Trusts at the Republican Convention in Chi cago and agreed among themselves that the Steel Trust would work for the anti-injunction-tle-the-hands-of-tht-courts platform demanded by the Labor Trust, if In turn the Labor mem bers would work for a repeal of the Sherman anti-trust law demanded by the Steel Trust. Both working to be free of laws which were obstacles to their further control of the people and what would be the condition of the common man If the National Citizens Industrial Association and its allies, with their lawyers, headed by James A. Emery, had not fought them to a finish, and insisted that these trust planks should not be Included in tbe Republican platform? We have an Association now made up of citizens through which the rights of the common man can be asserted and defended to an extent, at least. Thus by organization the trust or ganizations can be met and checked. The common citizens who read ths papers, vote and attend to the affairs of life are far and away in the ma jority over the members of any trust, labor or capital, and when they under stand the hidden attacks made on their liberties they act and wit. Who Shall Rule? Now the Labor Trust openly asserts that its members are in politics to de- : t Indictment found by a grand Jury. Provided, however, that any District Attorney may file an amended Indictment whenever an Indictment baa, by a ruling of the court, been held to be defective In form. - Before the passage of the amendment to the Oregon Constitution criminals could be Indicted either by grand Jury or the District Attorney. The statutory provis ions for this were as follows: Section 1232. Crimea how prosecuted. No person can be tried for the commission of a crime but upon the indictment of a grand Jury, unless expressly provided by law. bectlon 1238. District Attorneys Required to rroseeute All Crimes by Information. Hereafter It shall be lawful for the District Attorney of any Judicial district of this state, and it Is hereby made bis duty, to file. In the proper Circuit Court, an Informa tion charging any person or persons with ths commission of any crime denned and made punishable by any of tha laws of this atate, and which shall have been committed In the county where the information is Bled. Should the Supreme Court reverse the decision of the lower court It will mean that not only Lem Woon and Tee Gueng, his alleged associate in crime, will ob tain their liberty, at least temporarily, but also Edward Martin, Jack La Rose and many others. The statute provides that a man may be placed in Jeopardy but once. SEATTLE MANT0 SPEAK Dr. VT. H. W. Reese Will Lecture Before Ep worth League. Dr. W. H. W. Reese, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Seattle, will deliver an address on "Winners, or How to make a Landing," tonight at the Taylor-street Methodist Church, the occasion being the second quarterly rally of tho Portland District Epworth League. Dr. Reese is espe cially well known as a speaker to young people, and the gathering will be note worthy because of the fact that there will be large delegations of Epworth ians from all of the city chapters, numbering 17. It is expected that the church will be filled, as personal invi tations have been extended to the va rious chapters by the officers of the district cabinet and representatives of the Taylor-street chapter. Dr. Reese's lecture will be the chief feature of the meeting to which the public is invited. Dr. Benjamin Young, pastor of the church bas extended a special invitation to the Metnoaist ministers of the city and vicinity. Pro fessor Wilder has been engaged to di rect the congregational singing, with which the rally will open. C. E. Wag ner, president of Taylor-street chapter of the Epworth League, will preside. After the lecture, the members of the Epworth League chapters of the dis trict will be given a reception by the Taylor-street chapter. Dr. Reese will arrive in the city at 7 o'clock this morning. He will remain here two days, and will be the guest of M. C. Reed, a former parishioner, at the Hill Hotel. PIANOS FOR SALE. We haven't a particle of fear in rec ommending our 224 piano.

NEW WAISTS Today at Le Palais Royal, at money saving prices. 875 Washington street. New Tork Lena Thorn., 16 years old,, tells a story of frightful abuse at tha hards of a man and woman who had held her prisoner In a filthy hovel for six weeks. Trust feat public men who have been brave enough to stand fearlessly for the rights of the great masses of workers and doers who are not trust members. Just so sure as tools of the Labor Trust (cr any other trust) are elected, to public office, Just so sure the com mon man will suffer. That applies even down to petty offices. If an ordinary policeman secures his position from the Labor Trust, he is Blow to protect the citizens in time of trouble. Matfy such an officer has been blind to the slugging of Innocent citizens and only too willing to allow violence It done by a labor union slugger. Probably no more glaring falsehood and Impudent appeal for sympathy was ever sent broadcast than the late, as sertion by tho leader of the Labor Trust when he announced that the American Federation of Labor was one' of the strongest elements known for ' the preservation of peace. Their violent methods are so well known and established that whenever tho trust orders a strike the public authorities immediately set about to provide some sort of projection for ths citizens and their property. A single clipping from a late paper illustrates tlie feeling: "The Corn Products Company has announced that its new J4.U0O.O0O plant, a few miles south of Chicago, wiil be under 'ocen shop' rule, and that union men. If they want work there, wiil have to leave their union affiliations outside the protected land. "A stockade eight feet high and bul let proof has been built around the site." Citizens Protection. Citizens have been careless In con sidering the insidious moves made by the Labor Trust seeking control over affairs. It is time that each free man questioned carefully into the intent and purpose of each candidate for publlo office, without regard to his politics. It's a question of protection against trust growth now. If a candidate open ly or hiddenly stands for Labor Union domination, hoping thereDy 40 be elect ed by the Labor Trust members, to gether with the votes of the citizens who don't realize the danger, vote for him If you think best to put your af fairs and liberty in the hands of the leaders of this great trust. But it will be a black day for Americans when any trust gains power enough to en act their own laws and to dictate when a freeman shall work, when quit and how much he shall pay to support the managers. Also what articles shall be bought. What cars used. What stoves, hats, shoes, clothing and even the hearse used to bury the dead. The foundation of our free Republic is based on the principle that "every man must be equal berore the law and every man protected under the law."
