Use for Slot-Machine Slugs. "With the
disappearance of the nlckel-ln-tho-slot ma
chanes from general use, the brass slugs
used In "playing" them became to all ap
pearance useless. Thousands or tnem
were in use and many players had a
pocketful of them when the machines dis
appeared. As each slug had cost a nickel
or some other sum, these people were out
and injured. They, did not, however,
dump the slugs in 'the river, but have
found a way of making each fill the place
of a nlckeL They are passed on the pub
lic telephones and ring up central as ex
peditiously as would a nickel or even a
S2.50 piece. Borne enjoy thinking that
they are, thus swindling the- Telephone
Company, while patronizing it, but In this
they are mistaken. The proprietor of a
ealoon, cigar store or other place who has
a public telephone put in agrees to pay
say $5 a month for it. If at the end of
the month there are found nickels to the
amount of $2 in the telephone box he has
to pay only $3 and, if there is over 55 in
it, the surplus is divided with him. Bo
that when a man drops a brass slug into
the box he is robbing the owner of the
place and not the Telephone Company. .
Dull Cases Make Grand Jury Weaiit.
-Weariness has set in among the United
Btatets Grand Jur mainly on account of
the dry-as-dust-cases sent them for inves
tigation, and many of them, coming from

were on the road home. But they will be
kept In harness for a day or two more.
The case against Lee M. Travis, charged
with filing false and fraudulent affidavits
in support of pension claims, will be
further considered today. The probabili
ties are that an indictment was found

United States malls last Spring near
Canyon City. The case against Lee Baker,
Joseph Sullivan, Joseph Williams and O.
Plton, charged with selling whisky to In
dians on the Umatilla Indian reservation,
will be investigated today.

cific, Was brought to Portland from Rose
burg last evening and taken to the Good

THE play was made from a fine old.
Spanish tale," and as Miss Roberts
and Mr. Bosworth and their associates
play it, "Marta of the Lowlands," Is a
poem. -
"While it -deals unsparingly with vice It
Is not so strongly Impregnated with the
Droblem" as have been all the otners
with which Miss Roberts has been asso
ciated. The most sensitive may go to seo
it without fear of being offended. It is
a play which should do good.
There are but three acts, tne nrst ana
last of which transpire with the same
stage setting. The entire action takes
plnce In and about a little mill at tno
foot of the Pyrenees. There are no flno
clothes, no complicities of plot- It Is all
simple. Its naturalness makes it a won
derfully artistic thing. If such a par
adoxical thing can be. A story of tho old,
old Inhumanity of mankind toward tne
woman who falls. It tells of how a shep
herd comes from the mountains. Out of
tho high, sweet air of lofty places. A
man without guile, clean-neartea ana
brave, with the courage of the strong in
body and spirit. Of how he loves, passing
all understanding, tho poor crushed re-
nontHnt irlrl rrt th lowlands, where she
has lived all her unhappy days, where all
was harc Jna bitter and sordid. Of how
his love exalts the Magdalen and leads
her stumbling, unsure feet out of the
Lowlands Into peace.
It is almost a pretty story. It certainly
Is a good one. There are smiles enough
to light up its somberest places, and the
story which Toraas tells of St. Michael
and of the deaf and dumb woman is de
lightfully witty. Snatches of Spanish song
and tinkling mandolins enliven some of
the most acrid passages,
Miss Roberts' finest moments are in the
telling of her pitiful life-story to old
To mas. Her performance from the first
5' SS.S0""
The play Is in large measure a leading
man's ODDortunlty to divide the honors
with the star, and Hobart Bosworth did
this with his characterisation of the
glorious shepherd. His great scene at the
close of the second act was the strongest
bit of the play. Other members of the
cast excepting Ollle Cooper have not
much to do. Little Miss Cooper, read her
lines beautifully and did ample justice to
an exacting role.
"Marta" will finish the week at the
Marquam, including Saturday matinee.

since the beginning of the year 27 real

Iron Mine Discovered.
A mountain of high-grade Iron ore has
been discovered between Rooster Rock
and Latourell Falls. It Is on the old Goff
place, lately purchased by William Rob
erts, of Portland. The body of ore is
practically unlimited and lies close to the
track of the O. R. & N. Tests have been
made of samples, which show a grade of
Iron far superior to any heretofore discov
ered in Oregon, equaling In many respects
that imported from Norway. Some de-
velopment work will be commenced in a

Potato Crop Short.
Digging of the potato crop Is now fully
under way, and much disappointment Is
manifest over the shortage which will ex
ist, compared with former years, after the
crop is safely housed. Tho average yield
will be about 125 bushels to the acre, al
though a few fields will exceed that
amount Many fields are scarcely worth
digging, but the prevailing high prices
and the prospect of still higher prices be
fore Spring will induce every tanner to
j harvest every bushel to be found.
Fire Department Disbands.
Greshara's embryo Fire Department died
a-bornln'. The City Council, after much
figuring and debating upon the cost of a
water system from the Bull Run pipe
line, camo to the conclusion tnat tne oner
of the Portland "Water Commission was
too high for consideration and has done
nothing to provide a means of extinguisn-
lng fires. The action of the Council dis
gusted many of those who voiunteerea as
firemen. The president resigned and the
organization was never perfected, al
though a full set of by-laws had been
drafted and was ready for adoption. Just
what the future will bring fortn is uncer
tain, but the latest proposition is to bulla
cisterns suitable for a bucket brigade and
provide a hook and ladder truck for the
remaining volunteers.
TITLE TO INDIAN LANDS.
Judge Bellinger Decides Several Con
tests Relating to Reservation.
Decisions affecting title to land mostly
In the Umatilla Indian reservation were
handed down yesterday by United States
District Judge Bellinger, and many of the
demurrers filed by United States District
Attorney Hall were overruled, all the
plaintiffs being allowed 30 days In which
to further pleao. m tne case oi Alice
Patawa it was stated that "the right to
dower Involves a construction of a Fed'
era! statute." The young woman's step
mother wishes a half interest Jn the for
mer's land, and the court holds that as
her heir, Allco Patawa is entitled to the
land in dispute.
The government sustained Its contention
in the demurrer filed in the suit begun by
Ellen Parr and Fred Parr, the opinion

Maggie Smith and Jane Smith by
Phllomme Smith as next friend, was over
ruled, sustaining the contention of the
plaintiffs that the lands involved were
wrongly allotted to the defendants. Tho
demurrer of the defense was overruled In
the suit started by Joseph Guyett against
Charles McWhlrk and the United States,
the court deciding that the contention of
the plaintiff that the land in dispute be
longs to the mother be sustained. In the
case of Pe-wa-lo-son-ml against Al-cn-ta-mop-not
and the United States, the court
decided in favor of the plaintiff, overrul
ing the demurrer of the defense. A sim
ilar decision was made in the suit started
by Joseph Guyott agalnBt Mary Mclntyre
and the United States.
A decision was given against Frank
Morriseft, who sued his divorced wife for
land. The plaintiff asserted that when
the lands were allotted his wife repre
sented that she was a single woman. The
court decides that Morrisett had no title
to any of his former wife's land, by
reason of the divorce, regardless of how
she might have obtained possession.
CHINA MAY RECONSTRUCT ACT-
X
Registration of Trade-Mark Law Un
satisfactory to Other Nations.
PEKIN, Oct. 20. The trademarks regis
tration act, which will come into operation
on October 23, is regarded as unsatisfac
tory by the commercial communities of
Shanghai and Tien Tsln. There is no ob
jection to the principle of the act for
legislation in this connection has been
universally desired, but It Is considered
that the act In its present shape is not
practical.
In the first place, the scale of fees is
looked upon as being too elaborate, and
the fees themselves too heavy. In the
second place, it is considered that it will
be impossible for the Chinese government
to carry out the scheme, owing to the
absence of an aaequate arid properly
trained bureau. If the act goes into ope
ration on the 23d Instant, as contem
plated, It is expected that it will give rise
to much confusion and dissatisfaction.
The Governments of Great Britain and
the United States approved the draft of
tho measure, which was largely of Jap
anese construction, without. It is alleged.
adequately consulting the mercantile com
munities which would be affected by It.
With the view of preventing the en
forcement of an immature and defective
scheme, the German Minister, Baron
Mumm von Schwarzensteln, though cor
dially welcoming the general principles
of the act. endeavored to obtain a post
ponement of its operation, so that oppor
tunity might be given for Its reconstruc
tion. Up to this date official sanction for
such postponement has not been obtained,
but the correspondent of the Associated
Press learned today that the British Min
ister, Sir E. M. Sartow, has . been In
structed to endeavor to have the operation
of the act deferred.
There la a possibility, therefore, that the
act will be constructed. It Is now con
sidered on all sides that It would be much
better to recast the act on lines which
would be acceptable generally than to pre
cipitately enforce an unsatisfactory meas
ure, especially as there Is no pressing urg
ency for such enforcement.
MAZES HERSELF A PRISONER
Woman Unknowingly Locks Herself
In CToset, zrid Is There' Four Days.
NEW YORK. Oct. 20. After a frulUess
search which began last Saturday and
had been taken up by the police of the
five boroughs of Greater New York, Mrs.
Rae Singer, 20 years old, has been found

closed the door. A spring lock snapped
behind her and she was a prisoner.
At lucid intervals the woman screamed
and pounded on the door, but the neigh

They had continued Intermittently for
four days. Then a woman passer-by dis
