Did the brethren talk of holding a state convention, like the one which the Re publican lovefeast of October 12 called for after the primaries? Yea, Indeed, but very charily. Judge William Cfaloway. of Yamhill, prompted by State Senator Milton A. Miller, of Linn, brought up the subject, but It was dismissed, on sug gestion of "VV. H. Holmes, of Marlon, as a matter fraught with danger. "Better wait." said he, "and take ad vantage of the mistakes of our enemies. A convention call at present would be premature. "Vc have ample time to con sider this matter," and Mr. Holmes said the Democratic party was in a more ad vantageous position than for a long time, especially In Marlon County.

Mr. Gatens showed that each precinct having voters on a primary pe tition must have a separate petition and that the number of signers from 'each of the precincts need be no larger than 2- per cent of the votes cast by the party concerned in that precinct, just so long as the total signers for the entire state shall be 1000 for a -Republican candidate and 599 for a Democratic This was the interpretation of the law made by the Attorney-General and the Secretary of State, he said.

Bur gctte Short, pastor of the Taylor-Street Methodist Episcopal Church, In an ad dress before the Portland Ad Men's League in Tom Richardson's office at the Commercial Club. Dr. Short maintained that churches should use every honor able means to secure publicity In the same manner that a business firm puts itself before the public "If I had my way," said the speaker, "every church In Portland would carry a large display ad In the daily papers. We ought to Jet the public know where we are and what we are doing. In my opinion .It is just as Important to tell about God's business as about any other business." Will Form Real Estate Exchange.

INQUIRES HIS BUSINESS As a Result, Rudolph Gottlclb, the Walter, Is Arreted, but 'Is letter Dismissed by Deputy City Attorney. 3 II STAKES imUIK FOR HIGH WAYMAN. Rudolph Gottlclb, a waiter In ths Quelle grillroom, mistook Captain of Detectives and Inspector of Police Bruin for a highwayman last Fri day night, and because of. the mis understanding. Gottlelb. who was t entirely Innocent, wax taken to Pe- ? lice Headquarters and booked on a I charge of disorderly conduct. t Gottlelb demanded a Jury trial, t which was granted, and It was to I have taken place yesterday morning. but when Deputy City Attorney Fits- T gerald Investigated the evidence he ! dismissed the action. I The matter has caused a great t deal of laughter among the rank and t file of the Police Department, but I Captain Bruin seems not to be among those who nrmreelnt th 1nVe t T 4 Captain of Detectives and Inspector of Police Bruin arrested Rudolph Gott lelb last Friday and booked him at headquarters on a charge of disorder ly conduct. The prisoner demanded a trial by Jury, which was granted, but when Deputy City. Attorney Fitzgerald Investigated the case and found there was no evidence save that to be given by Bruin, he dismissed the action. The trial was to have taken place yesterday morning-, and the Jurors were prosent, but as soon as the or der of dismissal was entered they were excused. Feared He Was Footpad. Gottlelb is employed as a waiter In the grillroom of the Quelle. Sixth and Stark streets. With a companion he was strolling- about the town Friday evening. The two Jias stopped to dis cuss some private matter, when Bruin hove In sight. Bruin had business there, he says, and when he stopped awhile and the two others did not know him or what ho was doing, they grew suspicious and determined to as certain why he was there. Gottlelb and his companion stepped up to Bruin and Inquired his business. Bruin replied that they had best mind their own affairs, and permit him to do the same thing, saying he was an officer and advising them to move on. Gottlclb did not believe Bruin was an officer, and. In fact, says he feared he was a highwayman, so he told the Captain of Detectives and Inspector of Police that he would go to head quarters and learn the truth about It. Bruin Arrests Gottlclb. Bruin replied that he would accom pany Gottlclb. and together they walked to the central station. When they arrived Bruin placed a charge of disorderly conduct against Gottlelb. This was all the evidence there was against Gottlelb. and when Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald learned this lie "threw the case out of court. The Jury which was to try the case was called without the knowledge of Mr. FlUgerald. It Is probable that had he been consulted the case would have been dismissed before all that trouble was taken.

T wouldn't bolleve him under oath If sworn on the biggest kind of a stack of Bibles. He wanted to be bought pure and simple. He told mo he could give me information that would win the case against tho Ore gon Water Power &. Railway Com pany, tnc Brown case and the Ander son case, but he said he was hard up. and It was a matter of business with him. I told him I was not buying witnesses; he would get his legal wit ness fees and no more." Dan J. Malarkey gave tfie foregoing testimony yesterday at the trial of the suit of J. A. Anderson against the Oregon Water Power & Railway Com pany In referring to R. L Cossn, a former employe of the company, who testified for the defense. Anderson and witnesses for the plaintiff testified that when the as sault and battery were committed on Anderson at the Oaks. Cossa choked Anderson. Cossa, testifying for the company, snid he was not at the Oaks at all that day. Mr. Malarkey. attorney for Ander son, asked Cossa If he remembered making a statement in his (Malar key's) office that he was present and could tell him how to win the damage suits of Mrs. Brown and Anderson. Cossa did not remember the occur rence, and Mr. Malarkey took the witness-stand later and related what "had taken place during the visit. Mr. Mulr. counsel for the railway company, withdrew his objection to the testi mony. Mr. Malarkey explained that ho was looking for evidence concerning the way the company ran things' at the Oaks, and spoke 'to Dan Welncr and I G. Carpenter. Cossa. when lie called, said the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company had not given him a square deal. He came here with Ills wife and was hard up. He could fur nish evidence that would win the dam age suits, and it was a business prop osition with hlra. Mr. Malarkey said he answered that he was not purchas ing witnesses. Mr. Mulr did not read tho deposition of E. A. Culp. a former employe of the company who has gone away. Mr. Malarkey wanted It read, and said the evidence detailed what hnd happened at the time of the row better than the otlier witnesses had told It. Mr. Mulr said that In the beginning the wit nesses who did not know Anderson took another man to be him, and they afterward discovered tholr mistake. Culp did not know Anderson, and his deposition referred to another man and another occurrence; that was why It was not Introduced as evidence. Judge George sustained the objection of Mr. Mulr to the introduction of tho deposition. Various witnesses for the defense' testified that Mr. Anderson struck at Guy Watklns, a special policeman, and Joe Keller, another officer, grabbed Anderson by the arm. Keller fell down and Anderson struck at him. and Mr. Watklns grabbed Anderson's arm. An derson was pushed back against the ticket-office, but was not struck nor choked. Watklns and Keller testified to this state of facts. Robert Iollcr testified that Ander son's reputation was not good, and Mr Malarkey called H. E. Edwards. 'Cap tain H. Empkin. E. Laldlaw, Georgo Taylor, Jr., and J. P. Rassmusscn to testify that Anderson's reputation was good. Mr. Malarkey has to attend the Su preme Court at Salem today, and the caso was consequently continued until Wednesday morning. Wants Church Tax Canceled. The Calvary Baptist Church filed a pe tition In the County Court yesterday ask ing to have taxos amounting to $65 can celed. J. W. Howell, the petitioner, says the property on which the church and parsonage are located has been assessed front 1SS0 to 1204 inclusive, and the as sessments are unlawful because the prop erty Is used for religious purposes. Assessor Slgler filed a recommendation at the request of the court. In which he says that the assessment for 1903 and 1301 includes the north 15 feet of lot 2, block S3. Stephens' Addition, on which the cljurch Is. located, while It should Include only the remainder of lot 2 and all of lot 1. He says this part of the 1S03 and 1204 assessment should be canceled, but other wise the assessment Is correct. He says the same change should be made on the 1505 roll, taxes on which are not yet due. Rankin Seeks Further Ruling. An amended petition In the mandamus suit of John Rankin against the City Engineer, was filed In the State Circuit Court yesterday by Ralph E. Moody, at torney. Rankin was reduced from the position of a regular Inspector In March. 1S05. at a salary of $75 a month, to a position of day inspector at $2.50 a day when employed. The desire of Mr. Moody Is to have Judge Frazer rule directly upon the point whether a city official can, under the civil service rules, shift an em ploye from one position to another, chang Ing his compensation.
