The trouble over the controversy started by the re fusal of Col. Roosevelt to submit to the demands of the pope before an audience would be permitted, grows to larger proportions as time passes.

It was1 arranged that this reception was to take the place of the formal call that was to have been made. It Is said that Roosevelt gave as his reason for calling off the reception that the ar ticle published at the Instance of Dr. Temple waa an "unwarranted at tempt to launch a sectarian contro versy." The principal purpose of the recep tion was Intended to have empha sized the religious toleration for which Roosevelt stands, and tho col onel was offended at the fierce at- tark of Dr. Temple upon the Vatican, which was the very 'thing which Roosevelt had sought to avoid.

MARSHFIELD, Or., April 6. The legal battle between R. A. Graham of San Francisco, and tbe Coos Ray, Roseburg & Eastern Railroad & Nav igation company, the rnllroad In thin county, will be resumed this month. An adjourned term of tbe circuit court will be held April IS, with Judge Cook or this county, presiding, and at the regular term, to begin April 25, Judge Harris, of Eugene, will be present to hear the railroad rases. Judge Coke was formerly in terested as attorney and cannot pre side. R. A. Graham Is the man who built tho railroad in the first place. He borrowed $500,000 from Spreckles Rrothers, and for this debt tbe road was taken away frcm him by force of arms, and that it was not a regu lar foreclosure. For some years tho road was conducted under a receiver ship for the Spreckles Interests and later was sold to tho Southern Pa cific for something like $ 1 ..'100.000. Graham claims the road belongs to him and wants tbe difference between $500,000 and the Interest he owes Spreckles nnd the amount for which the roail was sold, or else wants the railroad bark. The Southern Pacific la made a defendant as well as the Spreckles' Interests. There are several suits covering different features of the Halms made by Graham. In one Graham alleges that the road secured Its state fran chise to build from Marsh field to Roseburg. but never went, that far. and has consequently forfeited fin franchise.

The cares were to ! have come up at the last term of court, but were continued. Good eat hnv for sele.

MARSHAL GETS A RAISE Will Now Receive 75 a Month, In stead of IM10, for a Fifteen Hour a Way Service Minor Mutter. - Approving bills against the city aggregating approximately $2,000, and raising tbe city marshal's salary from $05 to $75 per mouth, was practically the ouly business that was transacted at the council meet ing last evening. Strangely enough neither the Rnst estate mill race nor the Central sew er, nor tho city dumping ground was once referred to. Not a single fur tive councilman attempted to take the lid oft the sarcophagus contain ing these ancient relics. Councilman Josephson moved that the city attorney be instructed to draw up an ordinance Increasing the city marshal's salary from $05 to $75 per month. In making the mo tion, Mr. Josephson spoke In compli mentary terms of the competent nnd faithful service City Marshal Huff man hnd rendered the city, acting not only as police officer, but ub street commissioner as woll, and de voting twelve and fifteen hours a day to his dutlcB. The raise In Bnl ary, he thought, had been amply earned. The motion carried unani mously. The city recorder reported the pay ment of $10 to him by "former treas urer, H. C. Slocum, In restitution of an overpayment of lntcrost on a war rant paid during Slocum's Incumb ency, as Hhown by the report of tho expert. Ben Olcott. Councllmnn Ml colll Btntod that former recorder H. L. Marsters wns investigating the al leged deficiency during his admintB trntlon as recorder, and would prob ably refund the $30 deficit In his de partment when he had satisfied him self as to the records. The petition of Dr. Stowart and 15. R. Hermann, asking that a grade be established on High street, wns re ferred to the city improvement com mittee The ordinance authorizing the grudlng nnd mncadnmtzlng of Ella street from the north line of Dong hiH street to the north line of eaHt Court street was put upon first and second reading. Councilman Mullen moved to amend the automobile nrdinnnce by chnnging (lie speed limit nnd Insert ing a clause compelling clinuffours to keep on the right Hide of the street.. The motion expired without a second. Mayor llnynes stated that he had written to Portland for ft copv of tho Portland ordinance relating to tile control of nutoniohfles. .ToBophson called attention to the frequent perverted use of the orna mental Intup posts for hitching pur poses and opined thnt the city fnth ers some day would be trentcd to tile spectacle of a runaway team charg ing through the Htreets with one of thoso bcnutirul lamp posts rebound ing grucefully along behind them. He thought tho city ought to pro hibit hitching of tcnmfl anywhere on paved streets, and moved that an or dinance to that effect be authorized. Strong advised that tho city bo sure of tho legal status of the caHo before enacting such an ordinance. The mayor referred that matter to the city attorney, who, he snld, would look Into the matter very carefully. A bill submitted by Toy, tho qhl naman, for wood which he alleges the city burned In cremating the car casses of the animals which perish ed In tho burning of Mr. Itupp'B liv ery barn, wns, nfter quite a conflag ration of discussion, rejected.
