pense Them After May 26.
Salem When the new law regulat
ing the sale and dlapenaing of poison
ous drugs, goods and solutions of all

tions, especially prepared for Uie ex
termination of rats and other vermin,

trace the source of a poisonous drag or
compound which may have been se
cured with murderous or suicidal Intent.

United Railway Officiate and Employ
Refuse to Teatlfy.
San Franciaco, May 15. Th United
Railroad bas retorted to desperate
means to block Francis J. fianey hi
bia efforts to fasten opon the officials
of tha corporation tha bribery transae
tlons to which the superiors have
confessed. Stanley Moore, one of tba
attorney for tha oorpo ration, informed
Mr. Ueney today that tbe officers ana
employes of the United Railroads In
tended to ignore the ruling of Jadge
Coffey and would lefuse to testify be
fore tha grand jury.
When tbe United Railroad people
first refused to teatlfy. Mr. Heney cited
them before Judge Coffey, who ordered
them to answer. Now the cotporation
haa instructed ita officers and employes
to ignore the court's older.
When Mr. Heney received tbe mes
sage from Hr. Moore be replied wiia
some beat that In ancn a contingency
ha would call upon the judge to punish
tba witnesses for contempt, "and 1 will
noi ask for a light fine, bnt for uie
beavieat penalty the law affords," said
Mr. Ueney.
"It Is ridiculous," aald nr. ueney,
for those people to contend that their
relations are confidential and that they
cannot divulge tha company's affairs.
I only regret that there to not some
method ol Dunichisc Uie attorneya who
advise their client to disobey the law
in this wsy."
