DEMAND MONEY REFORM.
NEW YORK, Nov. 18. A prelim
inary meeting of a National Currency
Convention, composed of delegates
from leading commercial organiza
tions throughout the country, was
commenced In New York today. No
bankers are allowed to sit In the con
vention. Each large city In the coun
try has representation. The purpose
of today's meeting Is to arrange the
details for a national currency con
vention of commercial interests to be
heid before the Sixty-first Congress
begins Its labors. ,
That reform in the nation's cur
rency system is urgently needed was
recognized at the last session of con
gress and a special commission was
appointed to recommend changes
that could be adopted and which
would prevent a tightness of money
such as experienced a year ago. The
purpose of the currency convention Is
to get the views of the business men
of the country on the subject.
When the Chamber of Commerce
of Pittsburg inaugurated the move
ment for this convention the bankers
of the country were purposely exclud
ed from It. The real Intention was
to secure the opinion of the men en
gaged in industrial and commercial
pursuits and these will be obtained
at the convention. This convention
wUl make recommendations of
changes to the existing currency laws
and these will be submitted to the
congressional commission with a re
quest that they be carried Into effect.

At a Commercial Club meeting
held this week, of which formal no
tice had been given the members, a
resolution was adopted authorizing
the board of trustees. In their dis
cretion, to reduce the membership
fee for a limited time from $20 to
not less than $10. As the new Club
rooms In the Kohlhagen building
will now be ready for occiijmney as
soon as the necessary funlture enn
be secured and Vut In place, It is
more than probable that a large num
ber of residents of Roseburg and
Douglas County will take advantnge
of the speclnl opportunity now offer
ed and become members of the Club
without further delay. Needless to
say, the new Club headquarters will
be as commodious and handsome as
those occupied by any Commercial

quent suicide of his assailant, Morris
Haas.
James Gallagher, leader of the

the city supervisors while he was a

FIGHTING EXTRADITION.
Preliminary Hearing of Rev. Clark's
Case llegim Today.
The preliminary examination of
Rev. George Clark, of Gardiner, al
leged to bo the Rev. George C. Sum
. men. Indicted at Throckmorton.
Texas, In 1904, on a charge of oh
talntng money under false pretenses, I
was begun In Justice Long's court
this afternoon, with District Attorney I
Drown representing the state and At-
torneys W. W. Cardwell and F. 0.
MIcelll acting as counsel for the do-
fondant. The state expected to have
present as a witness Jack Parrott. of
Gardiner, who was instrumental In
bringing about the minister's arrest. 1
Parrott did not put in appearance,
however, but Sheriff Fentou explain
ed that he would arrive in the city
tomorrow morning, having missed the
stage from Gardiner, owing to pre
mature departure of the river boat.
Against the objections of the coun
sel for the defense. Justice Long con
tinued t h e examination until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
In making the necessary showing
this afternoon, District Attorney
Drown offered In evidence a copy of
the Throckmorton Indictment, which
accuses "Rev. George C. Summers"
of obtaining the sum of $100 from a
man named McCloud undor the pre
tense that he needed tho money to
defrny the expense of a surgical op-
ration. Attorney Cardwell Interpos
ed objection on the ground that there
was no evidence showing the de
fendant to be the person named Jn
the indictment, and, furthermore, if
he was such person, from the stand
point of the Oregon law, under which
this proceeding was carried on, he
was not guilty of obtaining money
undor false pretenses; that, Interpret-
ng the indictment literally, he had
merely negotiated a loan, for which
the lender had recoui-se at civil ac
tion. Attorney MlecllI cited a number of
authorities to show that tho copy of
the Indictment was defective In that
It did not bear tho ceYtitlcjite of the
Governor or Texas. To this. District
Attorney Drown replied that such
certificate was necessary only when
he requisition for extradition was
presented to the Governor of Oregon
person. Mr. MIcelll maintained.
howover, that inasmuch as the pres
ent proceeding were for tho purpose
of guiding the Governor of Oregon in
his action on the matter the certifi
cate of tho Texas executive should he
on the document presented In court.
J list Icq Long considered that the
first thing to determine was tho prop
er Identity of tho defendant. For
that reason ho continued tho hearing
until Jack Parrott could bo given an
opportunity to testify. The state ex
pected to alno have hero today the
sheriff of Throckmorton county,
Texas, and a man named Mnssey, al
leged to bo the rather of the woman
whom Clark calls his wife and with
whom he Is living at Gardiner. They
will not reach here, howover, before
next Sunday. The officer Is armed
with requisition papers, which will
be presented to the Governor of Ore
gon If Clark Is Identified as Summers.
There is a reward of $200 for Sum
mers arrest.

Two IJttlr ChJltli-ti Accuse Father of
Rrutul Treatment.
A shocking case of parental brutal
ity was disclosed here Tuesday after-,
noon, with the imprisonment In the
county jail of F. W. llcwes. charged
with assault with a dangerous wen-!
pon. Howes' home Is on a farm 6
miles east of the Town of Myrtle
Creek. , Ho waived preliminary ex-1
aminatlon beforo Justice (latther at'
Myrtle Creek Tuesday morning, and
was held to the circuit court for trial
under the heavy bond of $lw00. Dep
uty District Attorney K. D. Hermann
appeared at the arraignment In be-1
half of the state.
Howes' two children, a fi-year-old
boy and a 5-year-old girl, their faces
frightfully bruised and discolored,
are the prosecuting witnesses. In
Justice Galther's court Tuesday, they
said their father had beaten them In
the faces with a heavy stick of wood.
From appearances, tho girl Is be
lieved to hnvo suffered tho more of
tho two children. Their eyes are
almost entirely closed nnd It Is be
lieved that her nose Is broken. The
assault Is alleged to have been occa
sioned by sonic net of mlsheh avoir
on part of the boy. Howes is said
to have beaten his wife also, but she
has made no statement to that effect,
the law excusing a woman from testi
fying against her husband.
From stories of tho case, Howes
not only bent his children, but starv
ed them as well. The assault occur
red last Thursday. On the day fol
lowing, the little boy went to school,
us usual, and his teacher. Miss Wlx
son, was obliged to remonstrate him
repeatedly for munching at an ap
ple. These actions, together with the
bruised condition of tho hoy's face.
nrouRcd the teacher's curlouslty nnd
she began to question tho boy. The
lad, evidently through fear, gave her
no Information, but later ho told the
story of his mistreatment to school

the teacher, who at once notified, the

or everything placed before them
Sentiment ran so high ngalnst Hewes
at Myrtle Creek that neither of the
two lawyers of the town would act
as his counsel.
Hewes Is n powerfully built man
nnd about 80 years of age. He Is
over fi feet tall and weighs In the
neighborhood of 200 pounds. This Is
not the first time he has been brought
Into contact with tho lnw. On July
3, 1!07, while living near Myrtle
Creek with his second wife, ho was
arrested on Jho charge of deserting
his first wife in Michigan. He wns
taken back to Michigan and placed
on trial, but was released upon prov
ing Hint ho had obtained a divorce In
Clackamas county, this stute. After
returning to Myrtle ('reek, wife No.
2 died, whereupmi he re-marrled his
first wife, who Is tho mother of the
two children whom he Is now accus
ed of assaulting In such a brutal
fashion.
Howes' father, 13. I. Hewes, a res
uecled citizen, who lives In the Ham
ilton addition to this city (The
Grove) was trying this afternoon to
obtain the necessary amount of bonds
for his son. His efforts gave promise
of success.

One of the most unique and ap

In this city. In view of the approach

Friday afternuon, Is that shown by
north's Toggery. It shows in minia
ture two roads. One le a very muddy
and rutty Inne, along tho side of
which Is a single strand of telephone
wire, hung on dilapidated poles.
Through this lane a team Is struggl
ing to pull a wagon In which Is placed
a small quantity of farm produce.
The other exhibit shows a fine macad
amized road, with a modern system
of six or eight telephone wires along--side.
On this road Is seen an auto
mobile and other vehicles speeding
along with senrcely an effort. One
of these displays Is marked, "A
Douglas County Road at the Present
