From au Ihorllatlve sou re a it a learned that the tweoly-ona directors and former dl reclora f the New Haven who were indicted November 2 under the Hher- man law, will fight the government proceedings to the bitter end. The content, promlsra to be the greatest egal battle In history, for every lech- IcalUjcJa likely to be employed and vejv queeUon aa lo procedure Inter pol 11. The Indicted directors, who have all nicred pleas of not guilty, have until Monday lo demur to the Indictments It will Imi an Interesting session on Monday, for It la assumed that the di rectors will all be represented by counsel, and II la probable that they win ask to have the Indictments quashed. The li. dl- ted mrn, who face the dob- Utility of a year's term In prison, aa rii aa flnea of $5,000 each are: William Rockefeller, brother of John l end one of the chief figures lu Ihe Standard Oil company. Theodore N. Vail, head of the Hell telephone. George F. Haker, chairman of the Unit National bank of New York. I Lewie Cass U-dyard, one ot the most distinguished American lawyers. Charlea M.

Mcllarg, banker and rail road director. Edward D. nubbins, former general counsel of the New Haven. Oeorgo MacCulioi'h Miller, lawyer and philanthropist. What. In brief, la charged In the In dlciment Is that the accused million aires broke the Sherman anti-trust law by using the credit ot the New Haven road to buy the capital stock or con trol of other New England carriers, or to lease them, or to compel rivals to enter Into combinations; and that they stifled competition by various means Including harassing litigation against other corporations. One charge Is that they exerclsod secret control of the Joy line and the united States Transportation Co. A good deal of bitterness Is man! fested among the Indicted directors to ward their former associate, Mellon An attorney who Is actively Interested snld today: "One peculiarity is that Mr. Mellon, the man primarily respon sible for whatever has been done In acquiring properties by the New Haven, has been given Immunity whllo men who were directors for few months only were embraced In the prosecution" According to this lawyer, although the monopoly con splracy was formed 25 years ago, the theory of the Indictment Is that every person who bocanie a director from 1890 to 1913, for however short a time, became a participant in the original offnnse. No date has been set for the trial, which will probably be postponed for a considerable time, ror the Intricacy of thb case requires a long period of preparation.

Weak nearly to the point of exhaus tion from lnck of food for the past two days, and suffering rom exposure, day and night, Traunson made no re sistance to the officers who trailed him from Kalama on the county road toward this city, after receiving notice by telephone from a farmor who had recognised Traunson from the photo graph which appeared In Portland papers. Sheriff Close's Informant refused to give his name, as he declared that he xantod no publicity In the cose. He assured Mr. Close, however, that he was certain of his man and his ap pearance tallied perfectly with the description. The sheriff and his deputy procured a vehicle and pursued Traunson, who, when overtaken by the officials, con fessed. The fugitive carried a 32- caliber revolver In his hip pocket. The prisoner talks little, has a dis tant stare In his eye, apparently has little or no idea of the meaning of the crime he committed, and to the offi cials thore seems to be no doubt that he Is deranged mentally.

ML DEDICATE CALIFORNIA BUILDING SAN FRANCISCO. Calif.. Nov. 21. The dedication of the California build ing at the exposition, which event took place today, wos featured by the pres ence ot the most beautiful women of California. It was a big day for the fair sex. for the queens of the various carnivals of the state were brought to gether for the occasion. City and state officials took part In the ceremonies of dedication. The reward of $1000 which was of fered by Thomas F. Cowing for the ap prehension of the murderer ot his daughter, Mrs. Ruth Cowing Hill, her husband and two children at Arden wald on the night of June 9, 1911, has been withdrawn. Mr. Cowing gives for his reason the passage of the amendment abolishing capital punishment. He declares that with the end of the death penalty, there Is no punishment which Is strong enough for the man who killed the Hill family. Mr. Cowing formerly lived In Oregon City. In Sweden, public employment bur eaus are operated by the government. Awakened about S o'clock Monday morning by a burglar demanding his money, Charlea Jarl, a merchant at Kelso, grabbed the Intruder's revolver and shot five times, two of the bullets striking the robber. Late Monday "Dutch' Strof stag gered up to the residence of an elder ly woman at 4863 Sixty-third street Portland and asked for help. Strof waa bleeding from severe gunshot wounds In the left breast and in the left thigh. Strof now Is Under guard at St. Vincent's homtai. - Jarl aleepa in the rear of hla store. Shortly after 3 o clock he waa awak ened to gaze into the flare of a pocket flashlight "Hands up," demanded the man be hind the light. "Har, bar," replied Jarl, thinking a member of the general store council was playing a joke on him. "Where do you keep your money! We mean business," demanded the rob ber. Jarl gazed around with blinking eyes and, perceiving a second burglar working on his safe with a drill, he put up his hands. Hut as Jarl reached up be wrenched the revolver from the cracksman's hand and commenced shooting. The burglar at the safe didn't wait to see what happened. He bolted out the front door. The other robber, however, Jerked out another revolver, but the weapon wouldn't work, and in the meantime Jarl was shooting like a trained sol dler. Relieving it to be the wisest course, the burglar followed his part ner out the front door. Jarl got up and turned on the lights. At 3:30 o'clock Monday morning he re ported the burglarly to Sheriff Mass in the county seat and early that morn ing the official with Deputy Miles set out tor the scene of the crime. A search of the place brought out many facts. In their hurried flight, the would-be robbers left behind them nltro-glycerlne, soap, two sticks of giant powder, a blanket, and a brace and bit. Only three bullet holes could be found. Jarl had fired five times. That left two bullets yet to be located, and the fact that Strof had been shot twice and tailed to explain how his in jury was sustained led the police to believe Strof Is the robber. The oth er man has not been apprehended. The robbers stole a horse and buggy be longing to O. H. JonBrud, a dairyman at Kelso, and with this vehicle made their escape to Portland. As soon as Sheriff Mass learned mat Strof would not talk, he began a search of the other men thought to be involved in the case. He believes that he knowB the identity of two others who were in the burglary. Multnomah county officials co-operat ed with Sheriff Mass on the case. JI5,O00 ALLOWED FOR NEW JAIL County Will Raise 9,000 for General Purposes, Excluding Road Tax Dtctmbtr 19 Oat for Taxpayers' Mtsting Tha county court after two daya of steady application, completed tha bud get for 1915 Thuraday and aet Decern bor IS as the date for the taxpayers' meeting when objections to the esti mate can be made. The budget follows In a general way the eatlmates made for 1914. There Is a general Increase In the 1915 bud get over the one for thia year which extends through all dcpirtmente of the county's business. The ezpenditures of the last year were carefully checked over and each of the officials at the court bouse made a detailed estimate of the expendlturea Ic hla department for the coming rear. Included In the budget Is 115,000 for the estimated coat of a new Jail. All recent grand Juries have advised either the construction of a new Jail or a complete repair of the present one. but previously the county bas been unable to take the step because of lack of available funds. Several prisoners have escaped from the pres ent cells and they are regarded aa un healthy and unsanitary. Including the cost of the new Jail, but not allowing for the road, school. or state taxes, the county will raise for the general running evpenscs a total of $112,947 against $87,080 for this year. The budget estimates the state tax for 1915 at $125,000 which Is con siderably under the $155,661.70 which was raised this year. The estimated school tax la $15,200 which is also un der this year's tax of $94,617.90. The receipts of the county from oth er sources outside ot taxea Is placed at $15,400 by the budget. Of this sum $7000 comes from both the clerk's and the recorder's office, $650 from I the sheriff and $750 from the flues In the circuit court. The budget makes no allowance for the road fund and does not estimate the levy for 1915. County Judge An derson Is ot the opinion that if there Is any reduction In the county tax It must be In the road levy and thla mat ter will come before the taxpayers' meeting next month.

For the protection of growers, to put an end to the contracting of the product as at present and to Induce the brewers to buy American-grown bopa Instead of European bops, representatives of as sociations of California, Oregon and Washington, at a meeting here today, decided upon Ihe organization at once of three corporations, one for each state. The meeting Is considered the most important ever held by the bopgrow era of the United States, and action was not taken until after consideration for several daya of various plans. For the present, at least, the suggestions to organize a Pacific Hopgrowers' as sociation, with affiliated associations In Oregon. California and W ashington has been abandoned. Articles of Incorporation for the three corporations will provide that they are to continue In existence at least three years. The capital stock of each will be fixed by a board of di rector and probably will be $500,000 for the California association and $300,000 each for the Oregon Washington associations. Under the agreement reached minimum price to be offered grower will be fixed each year by the board ot directors ot the state corpora tion. It probably win not be less than H cents for choice hops, 10 oenta for primes, 9 cents for mediums and 8 cents for commons. The corporation will sell the bops. If possible, for a price higher than that received by the grower, and the grow er will receive the benefit ot the ad vance over what be previously re ceived, less a commission to the cor poration of half a cent a pound to de fray the expenses ot the business management. It Is believed that through this arrangement demoraliza tion of prices such as have occurred In the past can be avoided and that there will be less opportunity for specula tion. It is not the intention of the as sociations to antagonize . reputable dealers, but it will aid them In every way possible to maintain prices. The delegates deny any intention of the associations to fix arbitrary prices, which will be governed by supply and demand as in the past, they declare. They hope, however, to Increase the demand by inducing the brewers of this county to favor American-grown hops. and the the E. NOW BEFORE HIGH COURT ATTEMPT OF W. E.

E. Purdy, late non-partisan candi date for Governor, for possession of a brick block In Portland, Is before the Supreme court. It has been before the high court once before, on appeal from decision of Judge McGinn. The case attracted much interest or iginally because of the strange fact that H. D. Winters left property, in good times easily worth $100,000, to a man not related to him. They were partners and closely connected In busi ness for fifteen years. After Winters death Purdy produced a deed to the property which, had been buried at request of decedent who died Inte state. In the first suit no heirs showed up.

HYDROPHOBIA IS REPORTED SALEM, Ore., Nov. 21. Dr. Calvin S, White, secreary of the state board of health, who was in this city today, said that there are cases of hydro phobia in Umatilla, Clackamas and Jackson counties. He said further that a case of hydrophobia bad de veloped near Hubbard Monday, the pa tient being a child of M. Wyckoff. The dog he said, was owned by Thurston Yeargin. Dr. White announced that a vigor ous campaign would be the only means to stamp out the disease. peared. There were sixty in all and on their behalf twenty-nine lawyers were employed. The court called a jury and allowed each set of heirs three challenges and the state had three challenges. Purdy had three challenges and there was a long strug gle getting a jury. Purdy tri'-l his own case, and it took three reens. Court reporting cost $20 a day, and the cost run up into the thousands. Among the witnesses were old white haired women from the far east, and fees and mileage bills were enormous. Candidate Purdy argued his own case for two hours. Ralph Citron and John P. Logan appeared as special counsel for Governor West. A petition signed by 1700 citizens was presented to the governor asking him to inquire into the charge that Purdy had forged the deed. There will probably be bills for the legislature to pay for counsel employed to escheat the case. One strange feature in the trial, was ad mitting as evidence the former opln Ion of the supreme court In the Win ters' case, written by Justice Mc- Brlde. A lower tax rate for both city and county taipayera Is the cheerful proav pect which la brought out by official budgets and unofficial eatlmates thla year. The plea for economy, which was so prominent In the last state campaign, has apparently baa Its effect and general reduction in state and school lax Is the result. Krom as reliable eatlmates as ran be prepared at the present time, the levy In Oregon City will be close to 24.7 milts which I a reduction of 3.4 mills under last year's mark of SI S. The principal reductions are made tn state and the Oregon City school dis trict levies. The general county levy will be mllla If the budget which was pre pared last week by the county court Is approved at the taxparera' meeting. Tbia la an Increase of 1.3 mills over last year's levy and includes an ap propriation ot $15,000 for a new coun ty jail. Stats Tax Is Cut The county road levy will be left largely with the taxpayers at the an nual meeting. Judge Anderson baa said several times that if there Is to be any decrease In the total county tax, the road levy must be cut. Last year the rate was 8 mills and In the budget for 1915 the court proposes that It remain the same. In the tax esti mates which have been prepared no allowance waa made for outstanding road warrants. A levy of 1.4 mills was made In last year's budget for these warrants. The county court estimated that the state tax would be cut from 5.1 mills to 1 mills, a reduction of 1 mill. Coun ty school tax will be 3J mills, accord ing to the budget, which shows a slight increase. The total state and county tax levy for the taxes to be collected next year will be about 19 mills or approximate ly 1 mill less than the year preceding. To determine the total tax in any dis trict of the county, add the local school, road or city tax levy to 19 to obtain the rate In mills. Local School Levy Lower. Oregon City will face a 10-mlU city tax, the highest rate allowed under the charter. The local school board has been able to draft a budget In which the city's school can be operated at the same Btandard but with a tax levy .6 mills lower. For the local prop erty owner this Is the largest reduction. OutRlde nf Oregon CUv Diiwrn Iiab the highest city tax rate in the county and West Linn the lowest The town across the river will pay on a 2-mill rate and Oswego 10 mills.
