Other Sunday Closing Offenders to Be Investigated by Grand Jury at Once. Billiard hall and poolroom .operators, who kept their places open last Sunday, are to be held for trial In the Municipal Court. Cigar dealers, fruit venders and tradespeople who violated the Sunday law will await action of the grand Jury. This arrangement of the cases has been made by District Attorney Cameron. Yesterday he tiled complaints in the Municipal Court against all the pool and billiard people and they are cited to appear todty for trial. All other cases were taken to the grand Jury and from the number of policemen called before that body yesterday the conclusion may be reached that Sunday closing is al ready under Inquiry by that body. In the event of an early report the cases can be gotten into the Circuit Court this week and the validity of the Sunday closing law tested In its application to tradespeople. It is said to be probable that the cases submitted to the grand Jury will get no further; that the jury will excuse the al leged offenders on the grounds that Sun day traffic In legitimate lines is a neces sity. The billiard and pool people, however, seem to have a rougher row to hoe. They can hardly expect a Jury to say that Sunday pool playing Is an act of necessity or mercy. If the grand Jury should drop the oases submitted, the billiard and pool men would be left with the law standing against them and little public sentiment to back them in any fight they might make on the validity of the law. But should the grand jury In dict the others, then the cases will be tested on a basis of law validity. If the law is invalid it cannot affect the pool people more than the others. In view of this situation and an unwillingness to have the poolhouses open efforts are being made to separate the Interests of the two classes of Sunday traffic.

M. train of Wednesday. Requests for speeches from Senator Beveridge have been pouring into the headquarters of the State Central Com mittee ever since It was announced that the distinguished Indiana statesman would visit Oregon. Secretary McAr thur says that It will be Impossible to grant these requests, as Senator Bev eridge will speak only in the larger cities of the Coast. Arrangements may be made whereby he will deliver short addresses from the car platform at Roseburg, Grants Pass, Medford and Ashland. Senator Beveridge Is one of the ablest campaign orators In the Republican party. He is a forceful speaker, and Is known as one of the most brilliant men in the Senate.

Thompson, the well-known Se attle attorney, will also speak in this state, before the campaign is over. Judge Thompson was an officer In the Confederate Army and is the author of "The High Tide at Gettysburg." He has few equals as an orator, and there is a general demand for his services on the stump. Among the well-known Oregon Re publicans who will take the stump for Taft and Sherman may be mentioned Judge Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton; Judge W. R. Ellis, of Pendleton; R. R. Butler, of Condon; Senator C W. Ful ton; Mayor George F. Rodgers, of Sa lem; Wallace McCamant, H. M. Cake, W. A. Williams, J. D. Lee, J. E. Magers, J. P. Kavanaugh, and Henry E. McGinn, of this city.
