GRAND J URY MAKES SW ACCUSATIONS EEPINfi IN FINAL REPORT NO INDICTMl ts RETURNED BUT FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS ORDERED Report, Which Was Placed in Hands of Count Saturday, Says Evidence Exists Showing That Supervisors Rendered Eerro neous Reports and Charges Against the County District Attorney and Next Grand Jury Will Prosecute Investigations to a Final Issue Also Recommends More and Better Ac commodations for Interior of Court House, County Jail., Etc Alleging that there had been evi dence submitted to it during the re cent session charging road supervis ors with dishonesty In reporting and charging their accounts against the county, but not sufficient for it to And any indictments, the grand jury, upon Its adjournment Saturday evening, made a report to Judge Burnett rec ommending that the next grand jury, together with the district attorney, make further investigation with re lation to tho matter. .The charges In the report are couched in general language, and no Intimation is given In it against whom the accusations are directed. The jury merely says that it made investi gations of the matter, but that It was unable to gain sufficient knowledge to prefer any Indictments, but believes that it Is worthy of further Investi gation, and recommends that tho next grand jury and the district attor ney probe the matter to the bottom, and take action with regard to it at the next session. According to the report the evi dence adduced before the jury tends to show that tho vroad supervisors lunder investigation had submitted dishonest reports to the county, and also dishonestly charged accounts up against it. Just how much Is in volved or how sweeping tho Investiga tions will be cannot be learned, as the utmost secrecy is being maintained with regard to the matter. The jury also says that It made, prior to its adjournment, an lnvestl- cording to various estimates today, $100,000 worth of property was de stroyed when Sprlngston Lumber yards and eight houses adjacent were burned last night. On account of water shortage ins tho district, the entire section of the city was threatened by tho flames for pome time. Tho water pressure was so weak that long lines of hose burned, and the district was saved only by the fact that the wind shifted at the most opportune time.

This s the verdict of the managers of the local inovlng-plcturc- shows, voluntar ily adopted and announced and it will doubtless meet with universal ap proval, as vlowod from the moral standpoint. In many of the cities of tho coun try, where ordinances and laws aro In forco covering tho subject an1 the mayors and other civic authorities have put the lid upon tho exhibition of the pictures, anil a general move ment ts on foot, agitated by tho re form leagues of the country, to have them suppressed throughout the na tion. There is, however, no law'upon Uhe statutes of this stato, so far as known, or of this city, which .pro hibits the exhibition of this class of motion piotures, and neither the state nor city authorities feel it incumbent upon them to interfere in their official capacities. Neither are they able to recognlzo which It Is charged, will result from their exhibition, If tho propor safe guards aro placed around tho chil dren, henco tho unsolicited and unan mous action of tho managers of tho local theatres in barring adults under tho ago of 18 years, 'of either sex,' from viewing the pictures, will no doubt remove tho only objectionable feature from tho prospective show,1 so far as tho Salem public is con cerned. There being comparatively few ne ngroes. among tho population of this city, and these few of the higher, class of morality and education than pro valla in other sections of tho country, attend to their own business as gen tlemen, and aro treated as such, and such a thing as racial trouble aris ing out of the exhibition of tho pic tures seems out of the question. In an interview with the managor of one of the loading picture shows in this city, it was learned' that tho manag ers had long elnco agreed that minors should be denied admittance, since they have only the beet interests of the elty' and their patrons nt heart, and would commit J aot prejudicial to tho high moral and intellectual IS Tailored Clothes Great Clearance Sale This week begins our semi-annual Clearance Sale that is being wel comed by a great many keen buyers.
