VIOLATORS ARE SEPARATED
POOLROOM OPERATORS TO BE
TRUED IX MUNICIPAL) COURT.
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.

PLAN FOR HAN
Beveridge Ralty in Portland
Next Tuesday Night.
BIG CROWD WILL ATTEND
Outside Cities Expect to Send Dele
gations to Hear Senator In First
Important Meeting of Cam
paign in , Oregon.
Those who have been waiting to
hear the campaign orators of the Re
publican party will welcome the definite
announcement that Senator Albert J.
Beveridge, of Indiana, will speak at the
O. N. G. Armory next Tuesday evening.
Secretary C. N. McArthur, of the Re
publican State Central Committee, yes
terday received word from the head
quarters of the Republican National
Committee, at Chicago,' telling of the
plans of the Hooeier statesman during
his tour of the Northwest. He also
received a message from Senator Bev
eridge himself, who last evening ad
dressed the people of Terre Haute, Ind.
According to the present plans, Sen
ator Beveridge will address the people
of Tacoma at 1 P. M. next Tuesday.
Immediately after the Tacoma speech
he will leave for this city On a special
train, which will arrive at 7:30 P. M.
He will be met at the Union Depot by
a reception committee, and escorted di
rectly to the Armory, where he will
commence .speaking at 8 o'clock. He
will leave for San Francisco on the 1:30
A. 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. Many citizens of
Oregon will avail themselves of the op
portunity to hear the great Indiana
campaigner. Delegations are coming
from Astoria, The Dalles, Eugene, Cor
vallis, Salem and other neighboring
cities. The evening's programme will
contain one or two musical selections
and the speaker will be introduced by
some prominent Oregon Republican.
The. Beveridge meeting will be the
"opening gun" of a very active cam
paign of speechmaklng In behalf of the
Republican electoral ticket of Oregon.
Another big meeting will be held about
the middle of October, when Senator
William E. Borah, of Idaho, will be the
principal speaker. Congressman Fran
cis V. Cushman, of Tacoma, and Judge
Will H. 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. Other names will be an
nounced in a few days.
Secretary McArthur is now preparing
the campaign itineraries, which will be
made public in a few days. Few meet
ings will be held before October 10, but
after that date a lively campaign will
be on In every county in the state.

County Democratic Central Committee, le
