MPS. E?tes Explains Case. Mrs. . E. M.
Ksto-s. of Moniavilla. at whose instance
a -warrant was issued against Mra A.
Trout, a neighbor, on a charge of as
sault recently, denies that she was In
any way to blame for the attack made on
her by Mrs. Trout. "I had had no trouble
or quarrel whatever with Mrs. Trout,"
said Mrs. Estes yesterday. "I was walk
ing along the sidewalk when I observed
Mrs. Trout lying in the grass. When I
approached she arose and began switch
ing me in the face .with- vegetables that
she carried in her apron. To say I was
a.-tonished is putting it mildly. I had
done nothing to invite the attack, and
escaped a quickly as I could, without
offering to retaliate. I think my neigh
bors in Montavilia win testify to the
miidness of my disposition. This affair
was a great surprise to me and was not
the result of any action of mine."

FRANCHISE TO BE SCANNED
Voters of Peninsula -Will Meet-on
Monday Xight.
Until a late hour Monday night, the
street railway franchise, recently passed
by the Council, was under discussion by
the North Albina Push Club, and at the
end no definite conclusion was reached,
although the sentiment of the meeting
seemed favorable to the franchise and
against the proposed referendum. It was
decided to call a mass meeting of the
citizens or the Peninsula next Monday
nigljt. May 10. when there will be full
discussion. Councilman W. T. Vaughn
will undertake to show that the franchise
is a fair one and that the interests of the
city are amply protected by its provis
ions. Promoters of the referendum on
the-franchise are invited to be represent-:
ed at this mass meeting. A " band 'has
been engaged to provide music.
At. the meeting Monday night Council
man Vaughn was present and defended his
vote ; in favor ' of the franchise. In the
course of his talk he declared that If any
one could convince him that he. voted
wrong he would admit his mistake, but
he said he was convinced, after careful
examination of the terms of the fran
chise, that on the whole the interests of
the city were reasonably protected. II.
G. Parrons and Mr. Junker represented
the referendum and combatted the posi
tion of Councilman Vaughn and insisted
the rights of the city are not properly
protected under the terms of ths fran
chise. J. H. Nolta declared that to hold up
the franchise and prevent the- construc
tion of the line to the Swift packing plant
and Monarch- lumber mill would cause ir
reparable damage to the city., and possibly
drive, the. Swifts- away from Portland.
As the franchise question is uppermost
In interest on the Peninsula.-a big meet
ing will likely be held next Monday night
and- some hot speeches made. A com
mittee on hall and other necessary ar
rangements was appointed. - However, it
may be decided to hold an open-air meet
ing on Killingsworth avenue if the
weather will permit, as there Is no large
hall in that part of the city.
A committee from the Peninsula De
vel6pment League, headed by J. H. Nolta,
held a conference with the Union labor
leaders and tried to persuade them to
drop the referendum, but they did not
succeed.
SHARPER LANDS. IN JAIL
Police Believe Circus Follower Is a
'. Clever Swindler.
Harry Wallace. . a young man who
travels around behind the circus and lives
by demonstrating that old gambling
adage, "the hand is quicker than the
eye." came to grief yesterday afternoon
while attempting to do Peter Kirkes out
of $10. Wallace likely will so.iourn in
Portland' indefinitely as a result of his
mistake.
Wallace entered Kirkes' place at
Sixth street North and asked for change
for a 110 gold piece. Kirkes dealt It out.
Wallace laid down the gold coin, picked
up the silver and by a movement inde
scribably swift lifted the gold piece back
into his hand. Turning, he hurried out
of the place. The ordinary victim-w-ould
have been left wondering what became
of the gold piece, butt not so with
Kirkes. He became immediately suspi
cious. He didn't see how Wallace got
it. but he did see it was, gone. -He ..hur
ried after the quick-handed man and
later pointed him out to Detectives Cole
man and Price. . Wallace was seen to
have long, pliable fingers, remarkably
adapted to such work.. He is believed to
be a clever swindler and. circus follower.
Incidentally he is a morphine" fiend.
James Farley, a young man who joined
him soon after the Kirkes touch.- was
also arrested., both men -being- charged
with vagrancy.
OREGON MILK GOOD.
-Washington State Chemist Makes
Test of Oregon Condensed Milk.
The following letter has been, re
ceived by th Tamhill Valley Con
densed Milk Co., of Amity. Or., from
Professor Elton Fulmer. State Chemist,
of Washington:
Washington State College. Depart
ment of Chemistry. Pullman. Wash
April 28 Tamhill Valley Con
densed Milk -Co.. Amity, Or. . Gen
tlemen We have now completed
the analysis of the condensed milk
samples received from you some time
ago.- The individual cans of milk in
the casjf,, forwarded to us show a re
markable uniformity in composition.
This fact is in striking contrast with
some other brands of tnilk put up in
the Northwest. . Our average results
were as follows: Fat, 7.93 per. cent;
total solids, 23.45 per. cent; ; fat .in
solids. S3.S2 per cent. These figures
confirm in a. remarkable manner the
contention we have made for two
years past, -that -the ratio of fat -to
solids In Western Washington and
Western Oregon milks is very , much
higher than in Eastern milks. I am
sure that the figures thus obtained
from the Holly brand will be of very
material assistance in our fight against
the present Federal standard. Very
trulv yours.

SEEK TO PARDON MELDRUM
Clackamas County Officials Ask'for
His Release.
Nearly all the offlcals of Clackamas
County,-former residence of Henry Mel
drum, now Incarcerated in- the United
States Penitentiary at McNeils Island,
have signed a petition for his pardon
which has been transmitted to District
Attorney John McCourt by the Depart
ment of Justice. 1
Meldrum was convicted of forging false
applications for . the survey of public
lands in Harney County, while he was
Surveyor General of Oregon. He was
sentenced in 1906 to serve 1080 days in
prison and to pay a fine of J52SO but
as the result" of .appeals and applica
tions for a . new trial did not begin to
serve his' sentence until May IS. WOT. .He
has therefore served aboift 725 days of
his sentence.
In the petition - for pardon it is as
serted that the sentence imposed is ex
cessive In comparison with the sentences
imposed on" other persons eonvicted of
land frauds in Oregon and it is also
pointed out that Meldrum Is the only one
indicted for such an offense who has
actually suffered imprisonment. His
former neighbors testify to having had
business relations with him preceding
his conx-iction and to having found him
honest in them all.
