America Is Going "Diabolo" Mad
"Diabolo" is a French game that is finding great favor in America. If you
will step into the Toy Store, Third Floor, today, we will show you what Diabolo is
and how to play it. It is coming along strong, and you want to know all about it.
Our Mr. Hoffman, who has just returned to Paris from America, writes as follows:
"Referring to Diabolo, I am enclosing some cuts and descriptions of Diabolo,
which has taken the Continent by storm. I found the children playing it every
where in Paris, and in the parks and gardens old and young were at it by the
score. In the court at the hotel where I am stopping, American young ladies are
learning the game evenings. I saw tliem at it here in the driveway in front of
the house as I came in tonight. It is in all the 6hop windows in Paris. I bought
a quantity, and it is to be shipped to you from Paris within a week or ten days."
We have "Diabolo" Sets on sale at these low prices, $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 and 82.00
See page in' last Sunday's Oregonian regarding the popular game of "Diabolo."

SEEK TO KILL SUIT
Railroads Ask Dismissal of In
junction Case.
JURISDICTION IN QUESTION
X-nmbcrnien Reply to Motion Which
Is Identical With One Over
ruled by Judge Hanford at
Seattle Last Week.
The first of the obstructive tactics that
will be employed by the defendant rail
road corporations in fighting the Injunc
tion suit filed by the lumber manufactur
er was presented before United States
Judge Wolverton In the Federal Court
yesterday. It was a motion to dismiss
the suit of the lumbermen as against the
non-resident railroad corporations named
In the complaint, the question involved
being that of Jurisdiction. The motion
was argued' and submitted and the ruling
of the court will be the basis for an
appeal of the case to the Supreme Court.
W. W. Cotton, general counsel for the
Harrlman lines In the Pacific Northwest,
and James R. Kerr, of the firm of Carey
& Kerr, resident attorneys for the Hill
Interests, supported - the motion which
alleges that there does not exist a diver
sity of citizenship, among the defendants
to the suit, and for that reason the Fed
eral Court does not have exclusive Juris
diction. J. N. Teal, counsel for the Oregon &
Washington Lumber Manufacturers' As
sociation and over 100 of the individual
lumber manufacturing firms of the state,
who appear as intervenora In the litiga
tion against the railroads, argued against
the granting of the motion which would
dismiss the suit so far as the following
railroad systems are concerned: Union
Paclflc. Oregon Short Line. Southern Pa
cific, Chicago. Burlington & Qulncy; Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific. Coun
sel for the railroads do not question that
the court has Jurisdiction over the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company, the Ore
gon & California, Corvallis & Eastern and
the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad.
The same motion was argued by op
posing counsel before Judge Hanford in
the United States Court at Seattle last
week in a suit involving the same ques
tion and in which the Washington lum
bermen are the plaintiffs. In a decision
rendered Saturday, Judge Hanford held
that the court had Jurisdiction and dis
missed the motion of the defendant corporations.
Government Sues to Recover Land.
'Assistant United States Attorney Cole
yesterday filed in the United States Cir
cuit Court suit against Mollie Conklin et
al to recover for the Government about
40 acres of land in Clatsop County. It Is
alleged in the complaint that the land In
volved in the suit was acautred bv the
f defendants from John A. Benson, an ex
tensive land-fraud operator, residing in
California. Suits of a similar nature
have been brought 6y the Government
in California and Montana to restore to
the public domain several thousand acres
of land that were obtained fraudulently
by Benson and his associates, and after
wards sold to private individuals.

T PAY THE PENALTY
INSURANCE DEFRAUD ERS ARE
TO BE SHOT.
Three Americans Operating in
Mexico Cannot Be Saved, Says
Supreme Court of Republic.
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 11. (Special.) Af
ter delays and appeals occupying nearly
five years, the cases of C. T. Richardson,
William Mason and Dr. C. . S. Harle,
charged with conspiracy to murder in or
der to collect the insurance of their al
leged victims, have ended and nothing can
save them from being shot at Chihuahua,
Mexico, on Friday. December 6. unless
the governor of the state interferes, and
this is. unlikely. The Supreme Court of
the Republic has affirmed their sentence
of death.
Richardson wrote large policies for
wealthy persons and the holders died so
suddenly thereafter that the Life Insur
ance company sent a detective, W. J.
Gray, to Chihuahua. Among the men in
sured by Richardson who died suddenly,
strychnine was found in the viscera of one
and bichloride of mercury in the viscera
of the others. Dr. Harle confessed that
he had aided Richardson by making out
false death certificates. He admitted he
knew of the frauds, and that one of the
men died of strychnine poisoning, but
denied that lie gave the poison. Harle,
however, was charged, along with Rich
ardson and Mason, with conspiracy to de
fraud, conspiracy to murder and forgery
and was convicted.

We call the attention of all thinking people of Portland and vicinity to a signed statement from a prominent physi
cian on the city news page of Sunday's Oregonian (the 10th inst.). This statement explains the danger of using
cold-storage foods, tainted meats or those treated with preservatives.
Smith's meats are absolutely fresh Oregon meats. They
are pure. They ar free of all dyes, colorings or preserv
atives. The volume of our business is so Immense that
we don't need preservatives; wouldn't use preservatives.
Smith's meats are ready to eat .not to keep.
Beef Trust meat, every ounce of it, has been in cold
storage and traveled In ice-care. No matter if you buy
it next door to us or a mile away, if it's Beef Trust meat
you run the risk. We've seen sloppy, sticky, thawed-out
Eastern meats go into these markets and have often
wondered who ate it.

Take a piece of glass, lay It in an exposed place near
our market or any other down-town market. In five
minutes it will have gathered enough dirt and grime to
astonish you. Fancy tho condition of meats in Beef
Trust markets, meats that lay adjoining the sidewalk
from morning until night. Imagine the filth and germs
they gather. Who could eat them? And yet these meats
are sold under the banner of U. S. Government inspection.
In our campaign for cleanliness and hygiene we have
repeatedly called the attention of Portland's Market In
spector, Sarah Ann Evans, to this needless and putrefying
exposure of meats but conditions don't Improve; thej
seem to grow worse every day and hour.
Mrs. Evans, we confidently believe you are afraid te
oppose the Beef Trust. v
Smith's meats are.k ep t insido the shop, and protected by glass until you buy them.
