Attorney-General Wickershasa Investi
gate Money Changer.
Washington, D. C. A collateral
phase ot the ao-called money trust. It
developed recently, I being Investi
gated by Attorney-General Wicker
ham. The inquiry, which may affect clear
ing house associations throughout the
country, revolves about the rule of the
New York Clearing House Association
requiring It member to charge a
specified sum for the collection of out-of-town
checks drawn on certain parte
of the country, and at the same time
giving them discretion' whether to
make charge for similar collection
iu other localities.
A careful study of the workings of
this rule is being made by the Attor-ney-C.eneral,
it is said, to determine
whether the Sherman anti trust law or
the National bank act Is being vio
lated. "
If action I taken It will take prece
dent for all clearing-house associations
having similar rules. It is learned that
the Attorney-Ueneral may refer the
w hole question to the Secretary of the
Treasury for remedial measures If it
is found that the law Is being tech
nically violated or that the practice,
while not illegal, seems against public
policy.

DALLAS FAIR BIGGER ONE.
POSTOFFICE BILL PASSES.
Upper House Restricts Rights of Em
ployes to Join Organizations.
Washington, D. C. The annual
postoffice appropiation bill was passed
by the Senate at the end of two days'
sharp fighting over propositions relat
ing to parcels post, good roads im
provement and the affiliation of postal
employes with labor organizations.
As it goes back to the House it con
tains some restrictions upon the right
of postal employes to join outside or
ganizations: and an entirely new sys
tem of parcels post based on the "zone
plan" with varyiug rates for varying
distances.
The measure will go Into conference
with many important differences to be
settled. The House provided that no
employe of the postal service should
be subject to reduction or removal for
joining an organization having for its
object Improvement in conditions of
labor or compensation.
After a fight involving the right of
Government employes to strike,' the
Senate approved this in part, but pro
vided that employes should not join
an organization "which imposes an
obligation or duty to strike or to as
sist in a strike against the I'nited
States." Under the terms of the bill
as it passed both Houses, employes
have the right to appeal to Congress
for redress of grievances.

Shippers File Big Suit.
Los Angeles. What wa said to be
the most voluminous and heaviest law
suit ever filed In California and per
haps In any other commonwealth went
on record In this city.
It was against the Santa Fe Rail
road, and the mere complaint com
prised 16.000 pages of separate
charges of alleged violation of the
long-pnd short haul clause of the state
constitution. Piled up, paper on paper,
the lawsuit stood more than four feet
hlch iind required the combined ft-
forts of several strong men to move lt.J
Maryland to Carry Knox.
Seattle. The cruiser Maryland,
which Is to sail from Seattle August
22 with Secretary of State Knox and
his sultp, who will attend the funeral
of the Emperor of Japan, arrived at
the Puget Sound Navy Yard from
Seward, Alaska. She will begin load
ing coal at once and then will be
painted and burnished. On August 21
she will proceed to Seattle to receive
her passengers. Captain J. M. Klll
cott commands the Maryland and will
proceed to the Orient with her.
8lander on Woman Goes.
Milan. The recent admission of
women to the Masonic Order of Italy
has caused considerable discussion as
to the relation of this step to the Ital
ian women's movement.
Slgnora Trolse, the well known au
thor of Milan, and a leading suffra
gist, declares that the matter Is of
very serloti note, If for nothing else
than that It "removes the eternal slan
der on woman that she is unable to
keep a secret."
Rebel Attack Repulsed.
Corlnto, Nicaragua. The govern
ment troops at Managua succeeded in
repulsing the attacks of the revolu
tionary srmy under Cenerals I-ouls
Mena and Zeledon. Their victory, how
ever, was not pronounced. The bom
bardment of the city was discontinued
but It Is thought to be only temporary.
The American marines and blue
lacfcetg nt the legation are nil well.
Telegraphic communication between
here and Managua ha been restored.
Second Annual Harvest Festival to Be
Held in October.
Dallas The second annual Harvest
Festival and School Fair will be held
here on Thursday, Friday ad Saturday,
October 3. 4 and 5. This was decided
upon at a meeting of the Dallas Com
mercial Club held In thl city recently,
and a committee on preliminary ar
rangements was appointed. Last year
this fair was given during the hop
picking season, and this fact injured
It success. However, It Is believed
this year that thl festival will be one
of the best event of the season. It
will be larger and better than last
year and will be advertised much more.
It Is plauned to have a Salem and
Portland day, and to have a special
tralu run from Portland to accommo
date the Portland visitors. Upon this
day the Chamber of Commerce of Port
land and the Salem It.iard ot Trade
will be Invited to furnish i.rnn speak
er for exercNe. to be held. It Is be
lieved that the Portland Chamber of
Commerce will be Interested In this,
for the members who visited Dallas
during the Winter with the business
men's excursion were favorably Im
pressed with thl city.
The Commercial Clubs of Independ
ence and Falls City will be asked to
lend their aid this year to make this
the biggest affair ever held In Polk
county. The County Court has appro
priated a liberal amount of money for
it, and the Dallas Commercial Club has
authorized an expenditure of $1,0"0 to
make It a success.
AGATE CARNIVAL IS HELD.
Curry County Has Largest Attendance
on Record.
Tort Orford Fort Orford'. second
annua! agate carnival wa closed with
a fine display of fireworks and a re
production of the f imoits Indian battle
of liittle Rock on a larger scale than
last year. The largest attendance w as
gathered In the history of Curry coun
ty. Over 30 autoipoblles came from
Coos and neighboring counties.
Mrs. Robert McKenzle won the lov
ing cup offered by Frank 11. Tlcheni r.
of Portland, for the best display of
agates.
Mr. Tlchenor suggested the Idea of
an sate carnival to the Commercial
Club here last year which was adopted
and will he made an annual feature.
He has also suggested tb3 billding of
an agate pa'ace to Include hall of the
same material for Oregon Sons, and
this has been unanimously adopted by
the Commercial Club. It will be built
in time for the next, or third annual
agate carnival.
Port Orford has the best aeate
beaches on the Pacific Coast, hut owing
to the Inaccessibility heretofore the
outside world has not known it. This
year the ball game, foot races, horse
raceg and athletic events created great
enthusiasm and all agree that this was
the biggest and best celebration ever
held in Curry county.

Medford Pears Abroad.
Medford Because of the great In
flux of pears from California. Rogue
River Valley fruit growers are hold
ing their crop as long as possible In
the hope that better price will pre
vail. The pears are sizing beautifully
and unless extreme heat sets In they
can remain on the tree for at least
another week.
The Southern Pacific I anticipating
the picking and has 19 cars on the side
track ready for Immediate transpor
tation. One carload from the Daggert ranch

abroad from Medford.
Dallas Considering Paving,
Dallas An effort Is being made to
set the business section of the city
paved with hard-surface pavement.
This city has spent thousands of dol
lars to macadamize its streets, and
nearly every street has been macadam
ized. However, the macadam upon the
principal street? that was put in first
will soon need repairing, and a great
many of the citizens are urging the
construction of hard-surface pavement
to take it place. It Is believed that
