(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

Retail Dealers Discuss Plans.
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,

day . said store not thenand
there being a theater, drugstore, un

tioneries are: W. J. Curtis. 4844

E. D. SHELDON,
PRICE OF ICE
MANUFACTURERS PUT WINTER
SCHEDULE IX EFFECT.
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.
IS DEMOCRATS' NOMINEE
Republican Candidate in Okanogan
Named on Wrong Ticket.
OLTMPIA, Wash., Oct. 1. (Special.)
Defeated by Republican votes for the
Republican nomination for Prosecuting
Attorney of Okanogan County, Frank
Foster wins the Democratic nomination,
according to an opinion Just rendered
by I. B. Knickerbocker, Assistant Attor
ney-General.
Foster, W. C. Brown, the incumbent,
and J. W. Graham were candidates for
the Republican nomination. No Demo
crat filed for the position. Brown re
ceived a plurality of Republican votes'
and is the nominee. The canvassing
board found about 20 votes returned on
the Democratic ticket for Foster, 10 votes
for Brown and scattering votes for
others.
Foster claims to be the Democratic
nominee on the returns. Brown put the
question to the Attorney-General, who
holds that Foster Is the Democratic nom
inee, but that Foster must pay another
filing fee before the Auditor can put his
name on the ballot.

CHINAS ALERT.
Thousand Sportsmen Open Season
for Pheasants In Linn County.
Some Good Killings Made.
ALBANY, Or., Oct. 1. (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.
