Connecticut Lin of 16S0 Cited a Precedent Cameron to Go Ahead With Prosecutions. (Continued From First Psfe.) curred in that year in which a certain venerable follower of Roger Williams, perhaps less pious and religious than the others, waa up for trail for the al leged offense of chewing: tobacco on Sunday. The old man was an inveterate chewer of the weed, and was able on most occasions, to conceal thev fact that he had a large piece of chewing material hidden in his mouth. But on that particular Sunday he lost his cun King and was caught in the act of actually chewing tobacco on Sunday. Among the knickerbockered elders of the Tillage consternation reigned, and women were shocked. But this was quickly followed by a feeling of Indig nation against the impious old man, whose wicked profanation of the day had caused the scandaL The old man wasn't worried in the least by all the commotion his alleged sin had caused. He demanded a trial before condemnation and also demand ed a jury. And when the case was heard by a Jury of his peers he con vinced them that it waa an absolute necessity for him to have a piece of tobacco in his mouth at all times ex cept when he was asleep, and probably admitted Jhat he frequently passed the night with a chew In his mouth. Such inveterate use of the weed he contend ed, had placed it In his list of necessi ties, and the jury believed him, ac quitting blm and dismissing th case. Jury Hears Oregonian Editorial. Mr. Logan also rea"d the leading edi torial In yesterday's Oregonian, claim ing, when objections were raised by the state, that it was a matter of pub lic history. The reading of the editor ial and of the blue laws of Connecticut were admitted by the court. The Jury promptly found in favor of the de fendant. Efforts to obtain a statement from the District Attorney last night as to what action would be taken with ref erence to the prosecution of the other cases were unsuccessful. It is said to be likely, however, that the other al leged violations of the Sunday-closing law will be submitted to the grand Jury and, if indictments are returned. will be tried out Immediately in the Circuit Court. "We will begin a fight against the Indictments tomorrow morning." said Mr. Logan last night. "We have won our first case and believe that there will be no difficulty whatever in ac quitting all the others. We contended In the Municipal Court today that it was unjust to close billiard halls and permit theaters to run: or, that one business could not be rorced to close while another was permitted to remain open. As a matter of fact, we showed that Peterson was not conducting a biiliard game, for he aad only pool tables in his place. But the point we tried to bring out was that It Is un just and unfair to close one kind of business and permit another to remain open." j The Jury that acquitted Peterson ( COMPANY Incorporated as a Stock Company by the State of New Jersey.

Big Sichel presided at a meeting of the retail dealers In the Chamber of Commerce auditorium yesterday af ternoon, and Sol Hart acted as secre tary. The meeting was for the pur pose of discussing plans for further opposition to the enforcement of the Sunday-closing laws. It was urgently impressed upon all dealers to remain open next Sunday and notices to the various cigar stores, candy shops and similar places will be sent out imme diately, requesting them to remain open. ' It is contended by the retail dealers that the prosecution is sure to fall of conviction even if the police, at the orders of the District Attorney, con tinue their methods of last Sunday. It was explaineed that District Attor ney Cameron had led them to believe that there would be no arrests, last Sunday and consequently there was not sufficient ball money on hand when the raids began. Next Sunday, however, it was stated, there will be ample funds and all dealers were urged to keep their places of business open. CIGAR DEALERS ARE INDICTED Five Offenders Against Blue Laws Called to Account. Five dealers in Sunday cigars were indicted by the grand jury yesterday morning for violation of the Sunday closing statute. In three instances the clg-ir dealers also handle fruit and confectionery. Three are on or near Washington street, while two conduct their establishments on the East Side. The Indictments are almost Identi cal in each case, it being charged that the parties did "on the 27th day of September, in the City of Portland, in the County of Multnomah, and State of Oregon, then and there being, wil fully and unlawfully keep open a store, to-wit: a cigar and confectionery store, for the purpose of labor and traffic on the S7th day of September, 1908, the same being the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, or the Lord's day . said store not thenand there being a theater, drugstore, un dertaker's shop, doctor shop, livery stable, butcher shop or bakery, and same not being then and there a work f necessity or mercy." The three cigar stores and confec tioneries are: W. J. Curtis. 4844 Washington street: E. C Johnson. 1 East Twenty-eighth street North; Dan Good, 881 East Brush street. Besides these. C. D. Lister. 151 Sixth street. and Sam Elliott, .14 Washington street, were indicted. BEE TREE BREAKS WIRES A Honey-Hunters Do Much Damage to Telephone and Power Companies. HOOD RTVER. Or., Oct. 1.

Householders Need Pny Only 50 Cents a Hundredweight Till Robins Nest Again. Ice slid down yesterday from Summer to Winter prices. It will stay at the lower level during the -cold months, but when the robins nest again, never fear, the commodity will come up again. All the ice companies have depressed prices in accord with the season. Here after saloons, stores and restaurants will pay only 35 cents a hundred pounds, whereas the rate all Summer has been 50 cents. The householder who has been paying 65 cents all Summer, will be re quired to hand out 60 cents during the Winter months. "We have to run the machines during the Winter, anyway," said an ice baron yesterday. "Prices are lowered during the Winter in accordance with the law of demand and supply. The price for ice to families is higher than to stores and saloons for the reason that it costs more to deliver ice in small lots than in large quantities. "During the Winter there is not one fifth as much Ice used in the city as dur ing the Summer months. The ice season is very short here, business being good only about three month. From the mid die of June to mid-September, the de mand is good. For the remainder of the year there is little doing. "The whole town will not use over 20, 000 tons of Ice In a year, while cities of the East that are not much bigger, will consume several million tons during the twelve months. By lowering rates during the Winter, it is expected to stimulate consumption somewhat, but at best the market is very poor for the Fall and Win ter months.

(Special.) A light rain which fell during last night made hunting conditions ideal on this, the first day of the open season for China pheasants. Today waa clear and the rain had so cooled the atmosphere that it made hunting pleasant and yet the grass was not wet enough to be especially troublesome. Another beneficial effect of the light rain was that the dogs could get th scent of the birds much better. Hun dreds of hunters took advantage of the first opportunity to hunt the birds le gally and it Is estimated that there was more thahn 1000 hunters in Linn Coun ty fields. The cannonading began at daylight and continued most of the day. In many places hunters found the birds very wild, indicating a great deal of illegal hunting. In thbse places hunters fared poorly.
