6 THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, TUESDAY, MARCH IT, 1914. GOV R OR E THRILL CAUSES PROBE Mysterious Package Is Sent to Grand Jury Now in Session in Baker County. COPPERFIELD IS RECALLED Tiundle Believed to Contain Evidence to Be Used Against Ousted Mem ber of Council Whose Saloon Fixtures 'Were Seized. BAKER, Or., March 16. (Special.) The March term of the . grand jury convened today with thrills from the outset, occasioned by the receipt by the investigating- body of mysterious sealed package from Gov ernor Oswald West, transmitted through Circuit Judgre Anderson. The package carried seals placed on it at the Statehouse at Salem, Jud Anderson having: refused to open it when he received it from Governor "West. He rave it to the foreman of the grand jury with the statement that the probers should not consider the fact that the evidence came into their hands through the Circuit Judge and he told them that they should not re turn any indictments on that account nor should they neglect to return in dictments on that account, but should act according to their oath. The sealed package, about one foot long by six Inches wide and two Inches thick, is believed to contain, evidence in the Copperfleld case to be used against William Wiegand, the ousted Councilman, who was in the saloon business at Copperfleld until Governor West's agent appeared and confiscated his goods. It is said that the package contains. pictures of an improper nature, alleged to have been taken from the walls of Mr. Wiegand's saloon. That it may also contain other evidence in the Copperfleld cases is regarded as a possibility. The grand jury today began its work with an examination of witnesses In the' alleged coyote pelt stealing case from Durkee, in which two home steaders were arrested on a charge of grand larceny, bound over and released on 2000 bail each. Colonel B. K. Law-son, Governor West's agent, has been subpenaed as a witness, but he has not yet appeared and until his arrival It is not likely that the Copperfleld cases will be taken up. A large grist of work Is on the docket and a long session of the body seems likely. and the cost In 1813 and In 114 to data ar as follow: W 11 . . . . r-.tifl. tOO AT Bert' H'rri, from' California, 105.l6; Albert dj ; rum WMnington, ou.au; funnjsiHu. ley.

HaMband Is Commissioner and Lives in Aberdeen; Wife Made Director In Quiniault District. HOQUIAM. Wash.. March 16. (Spe cial.) Phil Locke is County Commis sioner for the Aberdeen district and has served in that capacity for more than a year. . He lives at Aberdeen. Mrs. Phil Locke was elected a member ff the Quiniault District School Board a week ago yesterday by a big major ity. Quiniault is a part of County Com missioner E. E. Fishel's district. Mr. and Mrs. Locke own a fine ranch In the Quiniault Valley north of the lake, and the latter spends considerable time there and Mr. Locke also loses no chance to get to the lake. Now the question has arisen, can Mr. Locke hold his place as Commissioner or can Mrs. Locke qualify as a member of the Quiniault School Board? The certificate of election has been issued to Mrs. Locke and she has ac cepted it, but has not qualified yet. The nearest candidate to Mrs. Locke in the election was C. P. Adams, of the Burn., In all 52 votes were cast, Mrs. Locke receiving 26 and Mr. Adams 20. Krank Melbourne, a rancher, at the lower end of the lake and on the north side, is the other member elected. Rob ert Locke is the holdover member. The question -of a rural high school was supposed to be decided at the elec tion, but It is still uncertain. Mr. Locke has partially committed himself for one, but not definitely. Mr. Mel bourne will oppose such a plan and where Mrs. Locke stands is unknown. Mr. A lams, if appointed by County Su perintendent Hodge In place of Mrs. Locke, probably will oppose a high school. JIETLUN OK SUSPECTS TO OREUON COSTS 3S0 INT 1913-14. Secretary of State Olcott Compiles Figures and Shown Only Few Hundred Hollar !,. SALEM. Or.. March 16. (Special.) Figures prepared by Secretary of State Olcott show that the District Attorneys have been so busy bringing fugitives from justice back to the state that the appropriation for that purpose is almost exhausted and a deficiency is faced. Tho Legislature appropriated $8500 for the arrest and return to the state t fugitives in 1913 and 1914 and al ready $8014.48 has been expended. All bills are approved by the District At torneys before vouchers are issued by the Secretary of State. Mr. Olcotfs report shows that Jo6!i9.99 has been expended for the return of prisoners to Multnomah County and $;324.4S for the remainder of the state. While the Secretary of State has no suggestions to make, it is evident that, unless another arrangement is made,' the state will have to create a defi ciency soon or fugitives may not be molested the remainder of the year. Only the actual expenses of men dis patched for fugitives are paid, but In numerous cases red tape and legal fights cause delays and expenses are increased accordingly. So far the Emergency Board has added only one appropriation, that for Governor West's moral crusade work, but it is evident that it will be called upon to take some action when the balance of the money for returning fugitives to the state is expended. The Supreme Court having- decided tha.t the eight-hour law will not ne cessitate more shifts at the state in stitution, it is believed deficiencies which threatened some time ago at the penitentiary and . Insane asylum will not materialize. The fugitives returned to TV' state M'MINNVILLE YOUTH WINS ORATORICAL CONTEST. ; jsrnfr sT George Stewart. Jr. M MINNVILLE, Or.. March 16. (Special.)

BANK WILL BE REOPENED Will Wright to Help Take Over North Powder Institution. NORTH POWDER, March 16. (Spe cial.) The stockholders of the Powder Valley State Bank have accepted a proposition submitted by Will Wright and C. J. Cannon whereDy they take over the entire business of the bank, the assets, building and fixtures, and assume all liabilities and pay all de positors. The bank will be reorganized as the Farmers' State Bank and will be open for business as soon as the charter can be issued. The Powder Valley State Bank closed Its doors February 16, because the re serve had fallen below the per cent required by law. The bank hae been in the hands of the state banking of ficers since then awaiting the decision of the stockholders as to whether they would reorganize or sell. Mr. Wright is president of the Amer ican-Scandinavian Bank in Portland and was state examiner last year. Mr. Cannon comes from Jefferson, where he recently disposed of his banking bust ness. BAKER FAIR TO BE BETTER Date 'Set for AVeek of September 14, and Preminnis Total $3800. BAKER, On March 16. (Special.) The Baker County P air Association to day decided to hold the Baker County Fair the week of September 14. A premium list totaling $3800 for awards for fat stock, agricultural, horticul tural, domestic science, school and other exhibits was made out on a scale never before attempted in thia county.

GRANGEVILLE SHOW IS SET Auction Sale to Be Feature of Idaho Horse Exhibition. GRANGEVILLE, Idaho. March 16. (Special.) The Grangevllle Horse Show Association has selected for the show dates this year May 28 and 29. President George D. Smith stated the first day will be devoted to Judging the horses and it la the intention to conduct a horse sale on May 29. A large number of pure bred ani mals will be placed in the auction ring, and a number of the Salmon River stockmen have assured the com mittee in charge that they would dis play some of their choicest driving and saddle horses. Mushrooms, a world-wide product, are as plentiful In Siberia as In the tropics. MARKING NOT LIKED System of Picking Oratorical Winners Declared Unfair. LUCK SAID TO PLAY PART Objection Made to Ranking Person Xext, in Case of Tie, Only One Place Below, When by Actual,. Numbering- Stand' 19 Lower. ALBANY, Or... March 16. (Special.) That the present system or aeier- mining the winner in a state oratorical contest is inequitable Is the assertion of many students who attended the contest In this city Friday night. Even while they were computing the rank ings, some members of the executive committee of the Intercollegiate Ora torical Association expressed dissatis faction with the system the rules forced them to follow. The present arrangement is to take the markings of the judges and then rank the contestants first, second, third, etc., on the rating of each judge In the order of the highest percent ages, the person with the smallest to tal winning. With the plan of ranking from the percentages there is no com plaint but the fault to which many object is the system of ranking in case of ties. Under. the plan now In vogue if two or more tie in the markings of any one judge they are given the same number and the next lowest contestant takes the number Immediately following. It Is argued that the proper plan would be to give each of the two tying 2 and the next contestant M. In some cases as many as three tie on one judge's markings and the contestant really in fifth place gets 3. This, it is asserted, throws an element of luck Into the contest. Had this proposed system, which its exponents assert is the only fair one. been used Friday night, it would not have changed the result so far as first place is concerned, for George Stewart, Jr., of McMinnvllle College, would have won anyway, but it would have made difference in second place, giving that position to Eric P. Bolt, of Wil lamette University, and relegating Lisle Hubbard, of Pacific College, to third. It would have placed Louis Gambee, of the Oregon Agricultural College, in fourth instead of fifth place; Howard Taylor, of Pacific University, In fifth nstead of sixth, and James T. Donald. of the University df Oregon, in sixth Instead of fourth place. A contestant who ranked first under one system might easily be third in the race under the other and, it is argued by those opposing the present plan. such a thing will occur in some future contest if the present system is main tained. It is possible that the objections now being urged will lead to a considera tion or the matter in the various col leges in tho Oratorical Association looking toward a change before the next contest. E MAJTY CANDIDATES LIKELY IF IDA HO INCREASES JUDGES. Appointments by Governor Necessary If. Proposed Amendment to Con stitution In Adopted. LEWISTON, Idaho, March 16. (Spe cial.) The political situation in Northern Idaho has developed activity and several political stars have loomed up on the horizon. It Is said the Supreme Court can not properly consider the work with but three members and that two addi tional are needed. A constitutional amendment will be voted upon this Fall to see if the. number of Susreme Judges shall be increased to five. and. If the amendment carries", the Govern or will appoint two additional judges. Judge Ailshie's term does not expire until tne first of next year, but if he resigns before that time to enter the Senatorial race, it will mean an other vacancy to be filled by the Gov ernor. For these reasons aspirants of the different parties are appearing, and an interesting race is expected. Attorney Charles L. McDonald, of Lewiston, and Frank Moore and Wil liam L. Morgan, of Moscow, have been suggested as possible candidates on the Democratic ticket for the supreme bench. There has not been much of scram ble among the Republicans for a po- ltton on. the supreme bench, but the TAKES OFF DANDRUFF HAIR STOPS FALLING Girls! . Try This! Makes Your Hair Thick, Glossy, Fluffy, Beautiful. . Within ten minutes after an appli cation of Danderine you cannot find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after few weeks' use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first yes but real ly new hair growing all over the scalp. A little Danderine immediately dou bles the beauty of your hair. No dif ference bow. dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is amaz ing your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an. appearance of abundance; an incomparable lustre. softness and luxuriance. Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any that it has been neglected or Injured by careless treat mentthat's all you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try a little Danderine. Adv. following have been suggested as pos sible candidates: C. L. Heitman, of Rathdrum; J. Dunn, of Coeur d'Alene; Judge Steele, of Lewiston. and Lieu tenant-Governor Taylor, of Sandpolnt. Borne politicians think, however, that Mr. Dunn and Judge Steele are prac tlcally sure of being re-elected to their present positions.
