MORNING ENTERPRISE SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1912 JURIES LAUDED BY JUDGE tAKI N MOTION FOR CHANGE OF VENUE IN SCHOOL SUIT DENIED AGREEMENT REACHED BK LAWYERS N. Y. COMMISSIONER NEW tionship Court Announces That Jurors Will Be Chosen From School Dis tricts Not Affected In declining to grant a change! of venue in the case of W. L. Cooper, assignee, against school district No. 62, in which the plaintiff seeks to col lect about $1,000, alleged to be due for building material, Circuit Judge Eakin Friday paid a high compliment to the men who have served as jur ors in his district. George W. Hazen, of Portland, attorney for the plaintiff, asked for a change of venue on the ground that the company he repre sented was a foreign corporation, and if jurors were obtained in the school district they might be prejudiced to the interests of the company. He urged that the case be tried in anoth er county. O. D. Eby and Gilbert Hedges, representing the defendant, argued that as fair a trial could be obtained in this county as anywhere. They said, however, that they would be willing that jurors be summoned from other school districts in the county than the one interested. YORK, Sept 6. The rela between Mayor Gaynor and the New York police department, the Mayor's attitude on the city's so-cali-" ed vice and excise problems, and the extent to which the department foll owed his public declarations of his attitude formed the basis of a relent less cross-examination undergone by Police Commissioner Waldo today in the trial of Cornelius G, Hayes, form er Inspector, suspended on charges of making false; statements during an interview on the Rosenthal murder re flecting on the Commissioner. Rhinelander Waldo New York's commissioner of police, was the first witness called to the stand today at the department trial. Douglas C. McKay, the first deputy commissioner presided, having overruled the con tention of Hayes' lawyer that he was incompetent to preside because he had been subpenaed as a witness. Thomas Thacher, Hayes' counsel, thwarted in "his efforts to read into the record the Mayor's utterance on the vice problem, finally gained recog nition from the trial commissioner, Douglas McKay by this declaration: "I am merely trying to prove that Mayor Gaynor's policy was one under which the social evil was recognized as" an unconquerable problem which had "to be endured, but that the evil had to prevent a front of outward de cency; that in the failure of Inspector Hayes to raid disorderly houses, he was merely reflecting this policy, and that any orders issued to him by Po lice Commissioner Waldo were direct ly in violation of that policy." Thacher was then permitted to pro ceed with his cross-examination along IIS THAT HAVE BRAINY PLAYERS Heady Combinations lo Big Leagues Not Slriklogly Large.

EUGENICS IS BIG FEATURE OF FAIR SALEM, OR., Sept. 6. The eu genices and child warfare department of the state fair has been not only a center of attraction for parents and children, but has also proved a very practical necessity. Eflicnent. emer gency service has been rendered by the physicians in charge. They car ed for one of the contestants in the W. O. W. chopping contest who be came overexhausted and collapsed, and on Wednesday a prospective young mother, who was exceedingly interested in the lectures and exhi bits, became suddenly very ill and re ceived every consideration. The rest room was quickly equipped with sup plies from the maternity department and the patient was made as comfort able as possible. The need for a baby incubator being anticipated and there being none on the grounds, thei re sourceful manager of the eugenics de partment, O. M. Plummer of Portland, secured an incubator from the poul try exhibit and had it sterilized and heated and in readiness to receive the little one. The physicians in charge, however, including Dr.; Mae Cardwell and Dr. Kittie Plummer Gray of Portland, with the assistance of the nurses, succeeded in relieving the patient sufficiently to permit her to be removed by improvised auto mobile ambulance to one of the city hospitals. The general feeling among the fair officials, as well as those actively in charge of the eugenics and child wel fare work seems to be that a perma nent building will be necessary to take care of future exhibits. It is also felt that the exhibits of the school children of products and poultry should be in connection with or near the child welfare and playground sec tion. The playgrounds have been in charge of trained attendants. - Miss Brooks of Salem entertains the young-! sters with stories and novel games, besides! keeping a watchful eye on those who were amusing themselves in the swings and athletic appurten ances with which the grounds are amply provided. The aim of the eugenics and child welfare department has been to point out the problems of child life and to assist the parents in solving their par ticular difficulties. While?: the child welfare exhibit does not Cfcver so ex tensive a field as was cohered at the Armory exhibit in Portland last win: ter, it has been pronounced a decid ed success. Owing to the limited time and lack of financial resources it was thought best to confine the ex hibit chiefly to the necessities for small children and infants. In the maternity section demon strations were given to.,, improvising a bed for the baby with,, two chairs, a sheet and a pillow, and also pre paring a bed in a clothes basket. The importance of feeding the baby with the mother's milk wherever possible was delt upon. Miss McNary, sup erintendent of the Salem hospital. - was in constant attendance, assisted ! by Miss Wishardt, a nurse from one of the Salem hospitals. ly houses should be raided without his instructions. "Inspector Hayes then told me that he understood his orders were not to raid disorerly houses without specific instructions from me," Commissioner Waldo continued. "Had you ever given him such or ders?' asked Terrence Farley, assist ant corporation counsel, representing the department. "He has never given any instruc tions of that character in any form whatsoever," Commissioner Waldo re plied. "As a matter of. fact you didn't ex pect Hayes to raid disorderly houses within his district did you?" "I expected him to raid every dis orderly house as to whose operations he could obtain evidence." "You knew didn't) you, that disor derly houses had flourished for six months in Inspector Hayes' district; that these houses were operating ev ery day, and that they were not being raided?" ' "Yes, I knew it. I knew that dis orderly houses had been flourishing in that district for that year. But I pre sumed Inspector Hayes was making every effort he could to close them up." . There was much speculation as to whether Hayes, on taking the stand, would "make good" any of the state ments attributed to him, notably that he would "reveal department secrets embarrasing to the Commissioner. Although Hayes yesterday denied in writing that he had said he could force Waldo's resignation within 24 hours. he has not repudiated- other features of his recent conference with District Attorney Whitman, and he is still ex pected to be the chief witness at the "John Doe" inquiry into the police situation.

It has been conceded that of the eleven districts taking part in the fair, the Corral Creek district carried off the most first prizes, Roy Baker tak ing several first prizes, as well as the sweep-stake on potatoes; James Say first on sweet corn; Lloyd Jones first on pop-corn; Claire Say, first on chick ens; Anna Batalgia, first on bread and aprons; Eleanor Say, first on caps; Audrey Wood, first on fuscias. The Mothers Club of this district gave money to the boys of the school to buy seeds in the spring, and they have kept up a sewing class for the girls for the past year, under the splendid management of Miss Bettie Batalgia. Wallace Young, of the Wilsonville dis trict ,was awarded more prizes than any other one person in the local dis trict, even his darning and mending TO FLEE LASHED JACKSON, Mich.,Sept 6 "Lash them , until the blood spurts," is the order carried out s. here today by prison guards on the convicts who figured in the recent state peniten tiary revolt here. The rebellion of the prisoners is over, but the punish ment of the ringleaders is still in pro gress. Fifteen convicts were flogged today. Nine were whipped yesterday, three fainting from pain and loss of blood. The punishment will go on until all the men who participated in the ris ing are punished. The entreaties of the victims are said to fall on deaf ears. The warden the prisoners say, stands but does not wield the whip. His duty is to say when the prisoners have had enough. . The trouble started when the con victs protested against the prison fare. "It is rotten and not fit for ev en dogs," they wrote in their com plaint. The prison steward said: "The victuals are good enough for convicts. We will continue the fare." Then the convicts mutinied in the din ing room and it was necessary to call out state militia to restore order. The punishment is similar to that inflicted on convicts inj the jails of "barbarous Mexico." The prisoners are tied over a bar rel and then gagged so they can make no outcry.

Two or three smart players in the infield and one behind the bat are a pretty good asset for any team. A still better asset is a smart manager, as witness the success of McGraw. Mc Graw's Giants are not the headiest team that ever took the field, but in Mathewson, Merkle and Doyle he has lieutenants of gray matter. With Evers, Tinker, Archer. Sheckard and Leach the Cubs have more quick thinking players than most teams and also a good general in Cb.mee to boss the whole shebang. One must have a care in a discus sion of this sort lest there be the In vidious inference that players not mentioned are shy on baseball sense, but to obviate any such fallacious in ference the old plea of want of space can be advanced. Be that as it may, the Cubs, with all their supply of dia mond profundity, didn't outguess the Athletics so anybody could notice it two years ago. Mack. Collins, Barry and Davis and maybe one or two oth ers quite held their own with the Cub phalanx of intelligence. . Pittsburgh Had Great Trio. .. . Wagner, Clarke and Leach were a trio whose brains helped to keep the Pirates in many a race, whereas a con spicuously smart team were the old Orioles, with such leading lights of baseball intuition as McGraw, Jen nings, Robinson, Kelley and Keeler, all quick, cogent thinkers. Tenney. Lowe. Collins. Duffy 'and McCarthy of by gone Boston days were clear and quick thinkers. In fact, McCarthy has been compared to Mike Kelly as one of the foxiest players of all time. Fielder Jones. Isbell, George Davis and Billy Sullivan, with their foresight and quick, grasp of a situation, did a great deal toward winning first honors for the White Sox a few years back. Comiskey was as smart a man on the ball field as he has been since off; like wise John Ward. However, there have been not a few ball. players who have shown ability to prosper who were just ordinary on the ball field, and also there have been smart ball players who haven't done so well since out of ac tive participation in the game. The keenest manager needs some of the quality of keenness under him. Mr. Cross frightened the team which started to run, throwing the meat box out and running into the rear end of the auto, damaging it somewhat, but fortunately no one wail injured. - OAK GROVE. G.

STAFFORD. It has been a wet week for hop pick ers and hops, but still the work has gone steadily on, and the present week will see the most of the yards about here cleaned up. Mr. Fletcher was obliged to leave a full days pick ings on the vines, as he had the use of a neighbor's crew and baskets and the neighbor found his own hops could wait no longer. Mr. Gebhardt's field hangs full, and as -they are first year, or baby hops, they think it will pay to pick them, but they can stand a week longer, and it is hoped the weather will clear by that time. It brings quite a little mon ey to the boys and girls. We believe Clarence Widdle is the champion hop picker so far for his age, about 13 years old, and picks nine boxes and every box brings him a half a dollar.
