Thugs Made Poor Choice, for Their Victim Had but 60 Cent in Ills Pockets. B. Melckle, an Italian laborer, was murderously assaulted shortly after 1 o'clock Sunday morning, aB he left a saloon at the head of Corbett ttreet, on his way to- his rooms, at 1077 Corbett street, a few steps away. Three or more thugs, who suspected the man had a large amount of. money on his person, committed the assault, :uid it is believed they intended to rob and probably murder their victim. Melckle had forestalled a possible robbery by depositing; his money with the Portland Postoffice, and when he encountered the thugs yesterda) morning he bad but SO cents in his' pocket. This sum was left him after, he had been beatan senseless and left for dead. He was discovered by Patrolman Keith, who made an inquiry and found O. Royal, the foreman of the construc tion sang on which Melckle is era ployed, who informed the officer he believes that he knows the identity of the assailants of the injured man. Melckle was taken to the Good Sa maritan Hospital in th. patrol wagon and his wounds dressed (it that institu tion, where it wai founl that he is not seriously injured. COMBATS FULTON'S VIEWS H. M. Cake Takes Issue With sen ator in States' Rights. That all powers that are not vested in the Federal Government by the Consti tution should remain with the states was the opinion expressed by H. M. Cake In his address on "The Enlargement of the Federal Powers" before the People's ""ura last night, thus taking issue with Senator Fulton, who in one of his ad dresses last Summer stated his position as favoring an increase In the Federal power.' ! "The enlargement of Federal powers j by additional grants of power from the states through an amendment to the Constitution of the United States is a question that is agitating the public mind." said Mr. Cake. "The supporters j of this theory are many and embrace some of the best minds In the country. Our senior Senator, Senator Charles W. Fulton, is a strong advocate of the en largement of Federal powers." Quoting from one of Senator Fulton's recent speeches Mr. Cake continued: "I do not agree with Senator Fulton's position, but in what I say do not Intend any criticism, but merely quote his posi tion as a statement of the extent to which those advocating the enlargement of the Federal power will go. "This theory of Federal control, ast evidenced by the proposed amendment of Senator Fulton would give the control of all intra-state commerce as well as interstate .commerce and would be far reaching in its effect. It means that all commerce of every kind woum be sub ject to Federal control; that gas, electric light, telephones and other public service corporations would be subject to Federal Instead of State control: that the Federal Courts would have jurisdiction which is now under the control of the State courts. The State would be deprived of all power to regulate and control these as .well as all other industrial and com mercial interests. The complications re sulting, would be very great. It only re quires a little thought to show that such delegation of powers would involve a radical change in our institutions and Government. "The people of the states are better qualified to control and regulate their own commercial.' industrial and economic interests than the Federal Government would be, because they are more closely and vitally Interested in them. "The theory upon which these enlarge ments are sought is in direct contraven tion of the theory of our Government and institutions, namely: a Government by and of the people."

Some Ways of Dodging One's Hotel Bill Get Married, Go to Rock Pile or Sue Another for Large Sum for Alienating Wife's Affections. IS it cheaper to get married than to pay one's hotel bill? Or, to go to the county rock-pile? Or to sue some body for alienating one's wife's af fections? These are unanswered ques tions at a. local hotel. ' A gentleman stayed a week at a ho tel, but his visit was cut short by a trifling matter his Inability to con tribute his share toward the hotel's expenses. He departed owing $14 and promised to come back next day to pay up. The next heard of him was a week later, when he evidently ob tained a cheaper home by getting mar ried. As might be expected, he spent no part of his honeymoon at that ho tel. - Another gentleman stayed two weeks at the hostelery, and had not even a satchel by which the hotel bonif ace could "realize." itext heard r-of him, however, he was on the rock-pile for vagrancy. A third gentleman, after .staying a week, and suffering the seizure of his baggage by the proprietor, promised to settle up next day. But evidently he didn't obtain his money as soon as he expected, because the man of whom he demanded $25,000 for alienating his wife's affections, , refused to pay and now the fight is In court. "I.. need all that money for Christ mas presents," signed the bonifaco. "But you will notice that each of the deadbeats is getting his deserts, ex cept the fellow who got married, and he'll reach his limit soon." To Enlarge School Building; At the annual meeting of the taxpayers of the Milwaukle school district next Friday night the question of voting money and authorizing the directors to erect an addition to the present four room building will be submitted. In at tendance at present there are ISO pu pils. Five teachers are employed. The band ball across the street from the schoolhousa is occupied by several classes. The directors are willing to go ahead with an addition if the voters au thorize them to do so. It is desired to erect two rooms and an assembly room. The present rooms are overcrowded, and as the district has no debt It Is thought the coming year would be a good time to erect the addition.
