O'LEARY WILL BE USEFUL Assistant Manager of While Sox Says Howard Has Good Man in ( Charley, but 7 Months' Grind May "Get Him," SA.NTA MARIA. Cal., March 20. (Special.) San Francisco is to be a dark horse entry in the Coast League aerDy this year, in the judgment of K-ld Oleason, famous big leaguer, who is assistant manager of the ChicaKO White Sox. Gleason piloted his regulars against the Seals and Oaks in two six-game series and he thinks San Francisco's ball club is far and away the best of the two. The Kid really doesn't think much of the Oaks. Devlin's flock won nly one game in five or six. whereas the Seals broke even. Jimmy Johnston hadn't been turned over to the Seals when we met them last year," remarked Gleason during the Sox-Beaver game here St. Patrick's day. "So I don't know how much dif ference he made. "Rut T do knnw that the Seals today'are a vastly superior club to the aggregation we met one year ago at this time. " "Charley O'Leary will be much more useful to Del Howard than most fans imagine. He is fast as a bullet, but there is some danger that he will not be able to last the pace out here in this seven months" grind. "This is a fast league, however, added Gleason, "and you need some of those wise heads to steady your club in times of slump. It is all well and good to have young blood, but when young blood strikes a bump old blood is the only remedy to check the attack of the hoodoo man. Gleason says there is no chance at all of -Berger going to Los Angelea Ping Bodie, ex-San Francisco star, is 15 pounds overweight, but he seems to be able to tote it around without the need of a perambulator.

PRISON LOBBY CLEARED SENATORS FIND NO EVIDENCE OF $50,000 FUND. Prison Labor Contractors Not Foand Guilty of Using Money to Defeat Unfriendly Legislation. WASHINGTON, March 20. "There is no evidence here of any $50,000 fund," Senator Overman, chairman of the Sen ate lobby committee, said today at the conclusion of the committee's investi gation of reports that such a sum was being used in Washington by repre sentatives of prison labor contractors to defeat the Hughes bill to restrict marketing of convict-made goods. The chairman's remark, which ap parently closed this latest phase of the committees' inquiries, was addressed to Edward Boyle, a Chicago attorney and formerly treasurer of the National Con ference of Charities and. Corrections. He has opposed so-called anti-conviqt labor legislation for years as legal rep resentative of a group of manufacturers having prison labor contracts. Mr. Boyle told the committee that an injustice had been done by the in timation as to lobbying, and asked that a full investigation be made. Senator Overman said he was willing to call any witnesses Boyle might suggest, but that the subject seemed closed. SLAVES' RIGHTS ISSUE RIGHT OF INHERITANCE TAKEN TO HIGHEST COURT. Negroes All Over United States In terested In Outcome of Appeal From Tennessee Tribunal. WASHINGTON, March 20. From a little farm of 87 acres, owned by John Jones, an ex-slave in Shelby County, Tennessee, has coine to. the Supreme Court a question affecting negroes all over the country. The question is whether former slaves are entitled to Inherit from their brothers and sisters. who were likewise ex-slaves. The Supreme Court of Tennessee. when the present Senator Shields was S3, its Chief Justice, .decided that ex-slaves had no Inheritable blood. Will Jones, one of John's brothers, has brought the case to the Supreme Court, seeking a reversal. W. H. Harrelson, attorney for Wil liam Jones, today filed a brief of his arguments in the case, which probably will be argued orally tomorrow. "This is not a question of social rights between the negro and the white race, but the question involved in this case Is a question of civil rights, said the brief. "Our Supreme Court has sought to put a brand on the negro, who was, forced into involuntary servi tude, against his own will, and who served his master without compensa tion except food and raiment and in many Instances both food and raiment were exceedingly scant." The attorney asserted that the de cision that an ex-sjave "could have no property rights ana no inheritance was in violation of the 14th amendment to the Constitution. "If a decision of this character is allowed to stand," he added, "then it opens the leeway for discrimination and abuse of the rights and privileges lb mankind, white or colored." LIQUOR CASE TAKEN UP GRAND JURY HEARS EVIDENCE IN TROITDALE CHARGES. When Authority of District Court Is Questioned Deputy Prosecutor Takes no Chances. Evidence that John Larson, husband of Troutdale's Mayor, L. Helming and Bert Edmondson, Troutdale saloonmen. have been selling liquor to the minors of the town was presented to the grand jury yesterday after attorneys for the saloonmen had resisted a preliminary hearing before District Judge Dayton. The hearing before "Judge Dayton was opposed by Attorneys Upton ana Banks, who argued that the District Court of Portland had no Jurisdiction over any crimes which may have been committed in Troutdale, and read the statute creating the court, which pro vides that the jurisdiction of the court shall be in Portland. Judge Dayton, after hearing the arguments of attor neys for the defendants, postponed fur ther hearings- in the case until Tues day. Rather than take a.chance on Judge Dayton sustaining the contention of at torneys for the saloonmen and dis missing the charges- against them, Deputy District Attorney Ryan, who has had charge oi the Troutdale inves tigation, took the witnesses directly before the grand jury, which was in session. If the inquisitors can com plete their examination of the witnesses who have been subpenaed by Deputy Sheriff Sandifer. a report may be made today, otherwise the case- will go over until next week.

From One Competing Line to Another Requested. PHYSICAL LINKS ARE ASKED Oregon Electric, Southern Pacific and Corvallis & Eastern Involved in Plea Heard at Albany by Railroad Commission. ALBANY, Or.. March 20. (Special.) Following a hearing here today the State Railroad Commission took under advisement the matter of requiring the Oregon Electric. Southern Pacific and Corvallis & Eastern railroads to make a physical connection of their lines at Albany for an interchange or traffic. It is the first time a complaint has been heard under the new amendment to the Railroad Commission act permit ting an interchange of traffic between competing lineand the decision in this case will form a precedent regarding physical connections between different lines for this purpose in Oregon. Chair man Miller, of the Railroad Commis sion', said it was one of the most im portant matters so far as traffic is concerned ever brought before the Commission, " The connection of the lines, if or dered, would be for an interchange of traffic only in carload lots and on a main-line haul. It would not apply to switching on the two lines in this city. In other words, it will r.o: per mit a man shipping a car to Albany on the Oregon Electric to have it switched to his warehouse along the Southern Pacific, or Vice versa. The question as to whether such a connec tion would affect switching here was raised by Southern Pacific representa tives and the Commission ruled that the complaint in this case was not suf ficient to raise that issue. It will take a new complaint to bring up that ques tion. . : Railroads Drop Contest. The Oregon Electric officials did not appear at all to combat the complaint and with this issue of interchange of traffic for switching purposes ruled out the Southern Pacific representatives did not contest further. The testimony of the coihplainants was taken and the case submitted without argument or testimony for the railroads. This brought to a sudden termination a hearing which, it was expected, would continue two days. The case heard today was filed by John Willis, E. A. Chambers and W. L Chambers, wood shippers, residing north of Albany. The County Court of Linn County appeared as an inter venor with a request for the connection for 'the purpose of interchanging cars of gravel and crushed rock for road building from one line to another in this city. The complainants who re side near the Oregon Electric testified that without this proposed connection at Albany they would havg to haul wood for several miles if they wished to ship it to any point on the Southern Pacific or Corvallis & Eastern. When, the hearing began Attorney Fenton, representing the Southern Pa cific, raised the question of switching and the Commission sustained his con tention that it be ruled out under the issue raised by the complaint. He then asked that shipments from competitive points be not considered. "Maln-Llne Haul' Explained. In other words, he asked that the question be Confined to interchanging traffic from points where only one road ran. This would have barred shipments from Portland. Salem. Har- risburg. Junction and Eugene, where both roads have stations, from inter change over the proposed Albany con nection. The Commission ruled against him on this point and decided that if the interchange of traffic were per mitted at all it must be on all property offered provided it was a main-line haul. The Words, "main-line haul," it was explained, would bar out switch ing only. Traffic on any branch line, such as the Albany-Lebanon, or Wood- burn-Springfield lines would be a mam-llne haul, though not on the popularly-called main line of the Southern Pacific. Chairman Miller and Commissioners Campbell and Aitchison were all pres ent at the hearing, which was held in the Circuit Court room of the Linn County Courthouse. Attorneys W. D. Fenton and Ben C. Dey, of Portland, appeared for the Southern Pacific, and Gale S. Hill, District Attorney for Linn County, appeared for the County Court as lntervenor. Among Southern Pacific officials present at the hearing were F. L. Burckholder, superintendent: H. A. Henshaw, general freight agent; John M. Scott, general passenger agent, and james tt. Muicnay, assistant general xreignt agent. FACTIONAL STRIFE GAINS SPOKANE DEMOCRATS FACE WIDE SPLIT IN COUNTV RANKS. Official Organisation Election Which Put V. T.

Factional difference's in the Spo- Kane (jouniy uemocracy have precipi tated this week a wide open fight and local leaders today are announcing ineir intention or going down the line. even if there iould be evolved a spilt ana a aouoie county organization. W. H. Murphy, formerly acting presl dent of the Spokane County Democratic Club, the official campaign organiza tion, declares that the election held last Friday, at which V. T.

HOOD RIVER, Or., March 20. (Spe cial.) Since the Hood River Valley has been shipping apples in commercial quantities never until last week have poultrymen been able to supply the lo cal demand for eggs.

The orchardists have been practicing a lim ited diversified farming, and fowls may now be found in almost every farm yard. "During the past week," says Craw ford C. Lemmon, a local produce man, "we have been shipping cases of Hood River eggs to outside markets." LET STATE DO IT MASON Legislative Aspirant Opposes Coun ties Building: River Highway. HOOD RIVER, Or., March 20. CSpe- ciaL) A. I. Mason, who has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomi nation for joint Representative from Hood River and Wasco counties, de clares he is opposed to the expenditure of county money in the building of the Columbia River highway. "I believe it is unjust," says Mr. Ma son. "to ask the counties along the Co lumbia east of Multnomah County to contribute money in building this road. When this expensive road is built, con necting Western and Eastern Oregon I believe that it should be done at the expense of the state. It would have been just as reasonable to have asked Oregon to have built the $10,000,000 locks at Celilo as to ask our district to build our portion of the Columbia high way.
