CITY AUTHORITIES GET- BUSY Strikers and Strikebreakers Ae Ac cused of Knguglng In a Street Figlit On Evening of February 1 1. Following the action of Judge J. W. Hamilton in sustaining a demur rer to the complaint in the cases of the State vs. Walter Corley, a striker, and Fred Drullard, a strike-breaker. City Recorder Carl Wimberly ihlt morning issued warrants charging a number of strikers and strike-breakers with the crime of disturbing the peace. Among those for whom warrants were issued are Walter Corley, Ben Doss, Jr., and Alec Aubin. strikers, and Fred Drullard, R. H. Wllkins and Herbert Carry, strike-breakers. The arrest of the men is the re sult of a street fight which occurred on the evening of February 11, in which the accused are said to have participated.

An indict ment followed, but the same was declared insufficient by Judge Ham ilton this morning. Following the dismissal of the cases in the circuit court the muuicipal authorities got busy and the accused men will prob ably be compelled to stand trial in the city court.

THE WRITER IS AN AMERICAN Offers To IMst-losa Secret Wlimliy Mr. (ituldis Will Conic Into Pos session of $100,000 Snj-9 Nothing Doing. Winnlo Gaddis, a local plumber, this morning received a communica tion from Madrid, Spain, In which I the writer, apparently an American crook, asks assistance of a monetary nature. In return the "unknown writer -of the missile agrees to dis close a secret whereby Mr. Gaddis will come Into possession of a one third interest in $330,000. Letters of this nature have been received in various sections of the United States in years past, and only a short time ago a Roseburg man fell prey to the crook's game and in an eager desiro to obtain the "re ward" squandered several hundred dollars. These letters are without merit, and should be so considered by I the recipients. The letter received by Mr. Gad-) dis follows in detail: Madrid, Jan. 1. 1912. 1 "My Dear Sir: "I am imprisoned in this city, and knowing of your honesty and person ality, 1 beg to beseech you herewith whether you want to come here to take away my seizures in order to seize a trunk containing a secret in which I have hidden a document in despensahle to you to come Into pos session of $330,000 that I have in the United States.

Help Taft When Progressive Laws Were Proposed. Extremists In his own party could criticise President Tail's administra tion with tetter grace if they had done anything to make the work of the president and his associates mort effective by helping to pasB legislation for the common good. Instead, theit attitude was one of obstruction. President Taft was strongly for substantial tariff reductions when his first congress met. lie wanted to gc down to a $2 duty on paper and Chair man Pa.vne voted for this figure rather 1 PRESIDENT TAFT'S SALUTE TO 0REG0N1ANS, TAKEN IN PORTLAND ON HIS LAST TRIP TO THE COAST. than cause a split. The president con sulted Senator l.a r-'ollcUe aB to the amount of duty needed on puper and he thought t was too low for imme diate application and wauled a sliding scate of duties fvom a higher rate. As it was, a compromise was effected on $3.75. Gilford Pinchot prides himself on befng both Progressive aud Insurgent; yet when President Taft wanted free lumber, OifTord f'lnchot threw his in fluence into the scale for the retention of a $2 duty an lumber, instead of backing the effort (o put it on the free list. Tlie best the president could el was a $1 duty. Insurgents Bfock Raiiroad Bill. President Taft was seriously hin dered In getting the railroad hill through by the Insurgents, who ex cluded some useful limitations upon the railway companies. President fnft recommended that no rMlroad THE DICKENS FUNO THE be allowed to acquire stock of a com peting company. He recommended also. In accordance with the Repub lican platform, and Mr. Hoosevelt's frequent recommendation, that com peting railroads be permitted to make thirty-day agreements as to the rates they would charge between common points, from which either party could recede at will. The Insurgents Insisted on throwing out both these features. "Although my proposals were progressive,' said President Taft, "I accepted a ball loaf rather than no bread, aud signed the bill." There wa8 another Interference with - the president's railroad pro gramme by the Insurgents. He want ed to have the companies prohibited from Issuing securities without the approval of the Interstate Commerce Commission. This the .Insurgents, with the aid of tho Democrats, finally defeated Postal. Savfnfla Bank Attacked. The post.'il savings bank was a measure for the benent ol the whole people, offering as it did an absolutely safe custodian for savings. Hut the senate Insurgents did their best to tack on au amendment, that would f.ave left the president no escape from a veto. They wanted to "take down" the deposits In the neighbor hoods where they were made, forbid ding the government to remove ihe money except In an emergent y of war. Tho president regarded lbl flff intolerable because It would have greatly Interfered with its ability promptly to meet lis obligations. It waH only beaten hy mustering votes of the re);ulnrft and then it was a close shave. "In spUo of such hnmliraps," said President Taft.
