George F. Averill, Capitalist,
Submits a Proposition.
PLAN to FLOAT BONDS
Ciiiarnntees to Have Kleetrlc I tout.
n Operation lfftww.ii Itoseburg
and M iifsl if told Within Twen
ty .Months.
George If. Averill, a San Kruucis
co capitalist, arrived In the city last
night for the purpose of looking over
the country with a view of interest
ing locul caoltalists In building an
electric railroad from Roseburg to
JJurshfleld via t Myrtle Point. The
gentleman was accompanied here
by several Marshfield parties, among
them being J, H. Somera, who as
sumed an active part in the campaign
for a similar railroad two years ago.
When interviewed by a News rep
resentative relative to his proposi
tion at the McClallen hotel this
morning, Mr. Averill gave out the
following: "We ask no bonuses or
contributions from the Hoseburg
public for this enterprise, an elec
tric. raMroad from Roseburg to the
coast, oh this Is a clear cut business
proposition wherein we give value
at. once for your co-operation and
subscription to the Coos Bay Trac
tion Corporation's $5,000,000 Isssue
of fifty year six per cent guaran
teed debenture gold bonds.
"we mean business and will have
those traction lines in operation be
tween Roseburg and Myrtle Point
within twelve months frpm this
date. If money, business caution and
engineering ability can accomplish
the the result, and stipulate to have

"We muke these pubic statements
in good fuith and assurance of fin
cial ability to carry them out. as
outside, people have agreed to take
up $4,000,000 of the above named
issue or bonds, while Coos Bay and
Roseburg people are required to take
up only $500,000 of these bonds,
leaving the remaining $500,000 to be
disposed of and used as needs may
determine,
"These fifty year six per cent de
benture gold bonds that are abso
lutely guaranteed bjf a reputable
financial institution, are an invest
ment, safe and secure, eliminating
all elements of risky promotion
schemes, and now If the people of
this section really want railroad fa
cilities with Coos Bay's seaport, now
Is the rime to act, quickly and de
cisively, for a rational, legitimate
project."
Asked regarding tho financial
institution above mentioned, Mr. Av
erill said that It operated under the
title of The Marine Trust and Savings
Bank, of San Francisco, and was
considered one of the strongest bank
ing Institutions In the United States.
This bank, says Mr. Averill. will
accept a large portion of the bonds,
perhaps the entire Issue of $4,000,
000. Asked relative to tho necessary
right of ways, Mr. Averill said that
they would bo obtained without dif
ficulty Inasmuch as the people own
ing property between Roseburg and
the Coos Bay country will be only too
glad to contribute their aid In the
event the construction of the road
is assured.
It Is thai Intention of the pro
moters to commence the solicitation
of- local capital at once, and it Is
the opinion of those Interested that
at least $250,000 in bonds will be ac
cepted by Roseburg people.
Of course, the remaining $250,
000 bonds will necessarily have to
be subscribed by the residents of
Marshfield In making up the re
quired total or $500,000.
In order to get down to business
at once the promoters issued the fol
lowing declaration this morning
which Is self explanatory: "Subscrip
tion blanks can he obtained at any
or the RoBeburg banks with full In
formation, and It is now up to the
Roseburg public to show their faith
and get busy in earnest."
The promoters contend that as
soon as $500,000 in bonds have been
sold locally, in Roseburg and Coos
Bay, the remaining $4,000,000 will be
available. In the event such Is a
fact It behooves the citizens to take
up the proposition in earnest and
lend whatever aid possible In bring
ing the project to a live realization.
Mr. Averill expects to leave Rose
burg in a few days, or at least just
as soon as he can arrange matters
connected with building the road.
He declare that the present prop
osition merits the closest tinvesti-
:.gation, and brands It as. the only
legitimate offer that has been made
j to those Interesting In a connecting
j line between Roseburg and the coast
j for years. Me says "It will be built"
i In the event the Roseburg and Marah
1 field people show their faith In the
project by accepting bonds In the
; sum or $500,000.
I As cited by Mr. Averill those sub
: scribing to the project are running
! no risk inns much as the bonds are
, guaranteed and pay six per cent In
! terest for a period of fifty years.

(Special to Evening News I
PROVIDENCE, R. I., July 29.
ThfB state Is having another politi
cal sensation today. Senator Al
drich, who with Cannon received
a set back some weeks ago, folloV
ing which the -announcement was
made that he would not again be a
candidate for re-election, now comw
out with the unouncement that lie
will return to the Senate. Political
circles are surprised over this fact,
since this is the . first time in the
career of Aldricli that he lias been
stung into making a reply to the
charges of his political enemies. Al
dricli expresses anger at Senator
Biistow, of Kansas, who openly
charged the Senator with playing
with, and being interested In, the
rubber trust. Replying to the
charge Aldrich said: "Bristow told
so many lies and manufactured them
so rapidly that I would not know
where to begin should I notice him
or attempt to make denials." While
the matter Is not fully decided yet,
Aldrich Is angered aud ft Is believed
that he will go back to the senate be
cause of the charges made.

District Atorney Geo. M.
Brown this afternoon offered a
reward of $25 dolars to any per-
Bon who will locate the man by
the name of James Billiard, who
is alleged to have presented K.
Li. Martin, now under arrest
accused of obtaining money un-
der false pretenses, with a
worthless check in the sum of
$17.50, payable at the First
National bank of Roseburg.
The preliminary examination of
Frank L. Martin, the individual who
wag arrested by Marshal Huffman
yesterday afternoon, accused of ob
taining money under false pretenses
In passing a worthless check upon
Chan Hi, proprietor of tho Oregon
restaurant, was held In Justice Long's
court this afternoon. District -Attorney
Brown appeared on behalf of
the state, while Attorneys Cifrdwell
& Watson looked after the Interests
of the defendant.
A number of witnesses were ex
amined by the district attorney,
among them being Marshal Huffman,
Sheriff Fenton and Harry Stapleton,
of the First National Bank. Huff
man testified regarding the arrest
and Informed the court that Martin
told him upon being taken In cus
tody that he was given the check
by Billiard, for'whom he had been
working during the past ten days.
Sheriff Fenton corborated Huff
man's story in detail with the exceH
tion of the circumstances surround
ing the arrest. Harry Stapleton
simply told of receiving the check at
the bank and of how he searched
the books for a depositor by the name
of Butlard without success.
Martin maintained that he fcas
presented the check In question by
Bullard, but owing to apparenj for
getfuUness told a dlffemnt story than
yesterday when pressed for facts re
garding the occurence by the district
attorney. I'nllke his version of yes
terday, he said that he had not been
employed by Bullard, but that Bull
ard had promised him work and to
show his good faith had advanced
him $17. HO. the amount of the
check. Martin's story was hankered
and incomplete and to the casual on
looker he appeared as a drowning
man grueplng for the last straw.
At the conclusion of the hearing
District Attorney Brown turned to
the accused and remarked: "I am
Inclined to believe Mr. Martin that
you wrote this check Inasmuch as
