HEARING ED IN TAX BILL CASE Spence Denies That Grange Had Knowledge of Fraud In Petitions. INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN Head of State Orange Says That Cir culators of Petition Were Hunch of Crooks aa Instructions Giv en Them Were Specific. PORTLAND. Sept. 12. C. E. Spence, state grange master, dis claimed all responsibility for the gross frauds perpetrated by circu lators of the graduated Income tax petitions in Multnomah county, fol lowing testimony of a score or wit nesses In the circuit court yesterday to the forgery of their signatures. I'm inclined to believe these cir culators are a bunch of crooks," de clared Mr. Spence In a statement to Circuit Judge Bingham, made In oten court. If they are not. the witnesses I have heard today are the biggest liars 1 ever saw, which I re fuse to believe. What I wish to make clear to the court however, is that the state grange had no part in these dishonesties. "These circulators were recom mended to me by people of Portland who told me that they bad handled such work before and let me say right here that I don't believe they confined their crooked methods to the income tax bill. Their instruc tion from us were very specific. I told them thatNwe wanted only the names of legal voters and that truth ful statements concerning tne na he hill nnlv should be made. . "I listened to some ot them and never heard one ubb the arguments produced here In court, except the claim that tne mil wouiu reuui: taxes,' which Is legitimate because it would reduce existing taxes and relieve the luud-owners from' part of his burden."

GET A BIG MANUFACTURING PLANT ESTABLISHED HERE Automatic Electric Brake Company Will Move Plant From Portland Next MonthQuarters For Housing $60,000 Equipment Are Required. The Automatic Electric Brake com-1 pany Is going to move Its machine shops from Portland. This much has been decided upon, but Just what city will be selected aa the manufacturing center has not been definitely settled. The matter comes up for discussion at a meeting or the board of directors In Roseburg tomorrow night. Roseburg can get the prise by go ing after It, and no great effort will be required. The company is not asx Ing for a big stake, but does want the town to show some sympathy for their undertakings. Since the Elec trical Brake company was Incorpo rated, the experimental plant has been established at Portland. A vast amount of machinery has been pur chased and Installed, and a number of men have been kept at work most ot the time. Brakes have been In stalled on many cars, trucks, and street cars, and In every Instance they have given a most satisfactory serv ice. Letters of Inquiry are constantly coming In to the secretary asking for Inrormation concerning the appli ance, and suggesting that trials be given and demonstrations made, Manufacturing Industries are the life of any community so fortunate as to induce capital to establish the plants and operate them, opportun ity Is Just now knocking at the door of Roseburg, and will this big enter prise be allowed to slip away from the town, or will the citizens tnrougn their civic bodies, pluck the golden fruit that Is dangling within roach? The question must not be Ignored If the machine shops nre to be located In Roseburg. Does this city want the shops, and are the people willing to piuke some effort to get the plant, are matters that must bo answored within a short time, because other towns are In the field bidding tor this manufacturing enterprise, whicb bids fair to become a glgantlo Indus try In the next few years. The Automatic Klectrlo Brake com pany plant now occupies quarters at 440 Hancock street, . Portland, and the liulldlng Is 60x1110 feet, with three floors. From ISO.UOO to xuu. 000 worth of machinery and tools are housed In the building, and It Is this equipment that will be moved some time next month to the new place of manufacture that will be se lected within a few days. At a recent meeting of the company a new board of directors was elected all of them Hoseburg men and the stockhold ers, at this meeting, determined that their Interests could best be served by locating the shops In Roseburg or some ottyr city In the southern part of Oregon. Marshfield has learned of the con templated move, and representative clllxens of that city have made flat UTlng offers to the company to locate there. It was the consensus of opin ion, however, according to an Inter view with one of the stockholders this morning, that Roseburg would be the most central point, and nego tiations have been started looking to the leasing of a suitablo building, or. unable to find such a plnce, to ol- talning a site and then erecting shop planned especially tor tneir worn. looking around ror liulldlng. tne company has not so fnr met with any great success, neither has a site been offered that Is all that it should be for an enterprise of this kind. Rent als have been found too high, con sidering tho properlles offered. The building sites are also hard to ac quire, it is alleged. Up to this time the 1)est offer has come from John Uotchor, of Edenbower. who offers an acre of ground fronting on a rall- way spur as a free gift, the only Hoarding oj Gold in Times of ' ..Stress Is Called "Blood Clot9 tint rnnt1nnnl NeWI 8rvca.) , YOUNGSTOWN.
