CITY ELECTION
PROMISES TO
JtVtKT ptl
Recorder,
Treasurer
and Three Council
men tobeVotedFor
No Interest Shown.
What promises to be the quietest
election in recent yeaM will be held
tomorrow, when three councilmen, one
from eneh of the wards, and a city re
corder and treasurer are balloted for.
The Socialists have 'a full ticket in the
field, and while a candidate may pull
through by reason of his personal pop
ularity, the ticket is not expected to
stand much show of success, even by
partisans, but merely to indicate the
strength of the party.
Collins to Be Re-Elected.
Benjamin M. Collins will probably be
re-elected recorder. His only opponent
is Perry Stewart, Socialist. The
chances all favor Collins' election, who
has filled the office with success.
For city treasurer, Lee Jacobs will
probably succeed himself. John A.
Smith, Socialist, is his opponent. Mr.
ini,. ; f tlm hent-knnwn men
in the city, has a wide circle of friends
and has made nn enviable record.
In the First ward, "Big Chief" J.
H. Fitzgerald is making a hard fight
for a seat in the council with F. E. Mor
sel;, the orchardist. Mr. Fitzgerald is
manager of the Rogue River Electrical
Construction Co. He is well known as
chief of the Red Men and prominently
identified with other lodges. John R.
Simmons is the Socialist candidate.
In Other Wards.
In the second ward, Dr. Louis Bnndy,
the well-known and popular dentist, has
.betn induced to make the run, J. E.
Barkdull retiring in Ins tnvor. 11. it.
Wortmnn, the butcher, and J. V. Wil
son, the Socialist, are his opponents.
In the third ward, Councilman W. W.
Eifert will make the race at the in
stance of friends. F. A. Bliss and Er
nest Walters, Socialist, will be his op
ponents. WITNESSES TESTIFY IN
THAW MURDER TRIAL
NEW YORK, Jan. 13. The state to
day presented its direct case against
Thaw and this afternoon Martin M.
Littleton made an opening address for
the defense. James Clinch Smith,
brother-in-law of Stanford White, and
an eyewitness to the shooting, was the
most important witness to be offered
in behnlf of the state against Thaw.
He told the story to the jury after As
sistant District Attorney Garvan had
declared in opening the address that
Thaw's act was no more nor less than
a "premeditated, deliberate and cow
ardly act." Smith's story is similar
to tiiat of last year's trial. The cross
exnminntion brought forth the declara
tion from Smith that the record of
the first trial was in error at one point.

the jury retired, coming in about 4
o'clock with the verdict of guilty.
Origin of Libel Case.
Putnam was indicted by the grand
jury Inst month for criminal libel in
having criticised the district attorney
and grand jury for failing to return an
indictment against President V. S.
Barnum of the Rogue River railroad
for trying to brain Mayor J. F. Reddy
of Medford with nn ax.
The alleged libelous article was:
"The grand jury is composed of the
following men: Wallace Woods, J. II.
Tiobison. ('. II. Vnunel. Adam Schmidt,
T. E. Pottentrer. J. h. Garvin. Tt took
them just 15 minutes to indict n friend

MYSTERIOUS BURGLARIES
IN PORTLAND BUILDING
PORTLAND, Jan. 13. The series of
mysterious burglaries in the offices of
the Chamber of Commerce building in
the pnst few weeks was eclipsed last
night when the robbers went through
seven or eight offices, picking up mis
cellaneous valuables here nnd there.
The robbers made the biggest haul in
the offices of O 'Day & Tarpley, law
yers, where they succeeded in getting
into the safe, from which they abstract
ed 250 in coin, the property of Attor
ney W. W. Banks, who had put. it into
the safe for safekeeping. On arrest was

tified the murderous assault. Deputy
District Attorney Kennies is a most re
lentless prosecutor, when a man drops
a nickol in tho slot machine, or takes
a drink on Sunday, or a poor fallen
crenture is caught sinning. Such hein
ous crimes must be punished; they are
dangerous nt once to life nnd limb.
But any one can try to brain n man
with an axe nnd secure immunity from
tho blindfolded representatives of jus
tice." The defendant sought to prove the
truth of the article under the statute
which permits the truth to be plead as
justification, by proving by witnesses
that a person had tried to brain a man
with nn ax and had secured immunity
from prosecution nt the hands of the
authorities, but the court refused to
permit any testimony regarding tho as
sault. The following instructions given by
the court to the jury indicate the the
ory of the law under which the exclus
ion was mnde:
"You have nothing to do with what
trnnspired between W. 8. Barnum and
Dr. Reddy on December 11, HI07, when
it is claimed that Barnum nnsnulted
Reddy. The fact of whether or not
Barnum was guilty of any assault was
a fact to be determined by the grand
jury. They a re presu m ed by law to
have determined the matter rightly."
The defendnnt announced that the
case would be carried to the supreme
court.
Putnam wns ably defended by attor
neys W. T. Vawter, Robert G. Smith nnd
K. E. Kelly. The prosecution was con
ducted by district attorney A. E.
Renmes.
P. FREIGHT SERVICE
HAS BEEN REDUCED
Local freight train service between
Junction and Grants Pass has been re
duced from daily to tri weekly, begin
ning next Saturday. These are the
trains known as Nos. 225 and 220.
Hereafter No. 225 will leave Junction
every Monday, Wednesday and Friday,
and go on south from Rnseburg every
Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, and go
north every Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday. This arrangement will re
suit in the laying off of two of the
local train crews. Many points along
the line will be handicapped by reced
ing only three freight n a week instead
of seven, nn before.

This Coupon, cut out and mailod to the Contest Department, or depos

COUPONS SHOULD BE SENT FLAT, NOT ROLLED OR FOLDED
This evening the Daily Tribuno makes
the first public announcement of some
of the ladies who will be numbered
among the contestants for the $".300.00
in prizes which will be distributed as
rewards for energy nnd enterprise in
securing votes. These wero tho noml
nations scoured up to 0 p. m. yesterday.
The number of votes each one has
will be published in Monday's issue. A
few of the contestants have already
Beeured more than the 25 votes ft nom
ination entitles them to.
The list shown a few from each dis
trict, anil n large number of entries
from several districts. It is expected,
however, that as many have been nom
inated by their friends, who have not
consulted with the Indira first, quite a
few will not try for tho prizes, even
though their names are in tho list; then
again other nominations will be re
ceived up until tho last of the contest.
See the Contest Manager.
Some of those who havo entered their
nnmes have visited the contest depart
ment and havo had the advantage of n
personal interview with tho manager of
the contest. All of this class understand
tho contest proposition and aro ready
to try for votes with a perfect con
ception of whut they must do in order
to win.
Those IndieB who havo been nomi
nated by their friends have not as yet
been personally interviewed, and natur
ally they are not aB conversant with the
conditions of the contest nnd the work
to be done in order to win n prize, an
are the otherB.
It is the earnest desire of the contest
manager that all of those whose names
are given this evening, together with
those who may be subsequently entered
as candidates, and all the friends of
both classes, should call at the contest
department and have the proposition
thoroughly explained to them.
Now Is the Time.
Now is the best time to make a start
and gi't votes or promises of votes,
which will be fulfilled later on. Make
op your mind right now that you are
going to be one of the lucky one ami
strive to attain that end. Do not wait
until the last week, but start out now,
and not only get votes from your
friends, but induce them to have others
save their votes fur you also. All the
candidates should understand that votes
may be obtained only in two ways:
First, by coupon. Kaeh day from now
