STATE TO FILE SUIT
Ifl CLEETON CASE
Action Before Supreme Court
Decided On to Determine
. Two Officials' Status.
QUICK DECISION PROMISED
Procedure to Be Taken by District
Attorney Evans Under Law Oov--;'
ering Usurpation or Orfice.
Ballots Not Changed.
' Legal proceedings in the nature of a
Quo warranto action will be filed in
the Supreme Court this morning and
argued this afternoon to determine the
legal status of Judge Cleeton and
County Commissioner Hotman. The ac
tion is brought by District Attorney
Evans and is a friendly suit under sec
tion 366 of the state laws to prevent
usurpation in office. A decision is
promised by the Supreme Court this
week. Mr. Evans will argue for the
state and Judge Cleeton will repre
sent himself, while E. E. Coovert will
appear for Mr. Holxnan.
Meanwhile Judge Cleeton Is trans
acting no business either in Probate or
Circuit Court. He went to Salem yes
terday to learn direct from the Supreme
Court what his action in future shall
be in respect to holding either court.
Commissioner Holman was advised yes
terday by District Attorney Evans not
to cast the deciding vote rn any cases
coming before the County Commission
ers pending the settlement of the suit
to be filed today. He will, however,
act on routine subjects, as usual, where
bis vote will not change the decision
of the Board.
The theory of District Attorney
Evans in filing the information is that
Judge Cleeton is chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners and
that Mr. Holman Is not entitled to sit
with that bodv.
County Clerk Coffey will make no
chanse in the form of the official bal
lots now being printed unless he is
directed by a court order to do so. They
will issue in the form originally iixea,
bearinz the name of C. U. Gantenbein
aTid Rufus C. Holman, even though the
Supreme Court decision appears to de
clare there is no Department 6 of Cir
cuit Court, for the judgeship of which
Mr. Gantenbein is a candidate, and
leaves the status of Chairman Holman,
of the County Commissioners, in an
uncertain state.
LINE MAY LOSE FRANCHISE
District Attorney to Ask Revocation
or liinnton Privilege.
District Attorney Evans says he will
recommend to the County Commission
ers that the franchise of the United
Railways Company on the Portland-St,
Helens road between this city and
Linn ton be revoked.
He holds that the traction company
promised the county that a fare of S
cents would prevail and that the fare
has been increased to 10 cents.
The railway company contends that
the State Railroad Commission has the
power to fix rates and has given au
thority to the company to charge the
10-cent fare.
At the request of C. H. Carey, coun
sel for the United Railways, the County
Commissioners yesterday postponed
action on the Linnton petition for one
week.
FAKE COINS UNEARTHED
fcchoolboy Finds Counterfeited Pieces
at Oregon City.
OREGON CITT. Or., Oct. 21. (Spe
cial.) A collection of 20 poorly-counterfeited
five-dollar gold pieces was
picked up along the railroad yards
"Wednesday afternoon by Paul Butter
worth. a pupil of the McLoughlin
School.
The coins are of lead, about the same
weight as the regular gold piece, bear
the goddess head on one side and the
shield on the other. The word 'Five
is distinguishable, with the date and
the words "United States of America."
The gold leaf of paint covering was
well worn off on most of the pieces.
It .Is possible the money was thrown
away by some one of the 25 tramps
rounded up Tuesday night by the police.
SAMPLE BALLOTS READY
Voters to Receive 50,000 and Elec
tion Officials 136,000.
Sample ballots to the number of 60,
.000 were received from the printer by
County Clerk Coffey yesterday and are
now being distributed to voters. They
are available for those who call for
them, the idea of the distribution being
to give one to every family. There will
not be enough of the sample ballots
to provide one for each voter.
An additional 136.000 sample ballots
will be distributed to election officials
at the various voting places prior to
the election for use at the polling
places throughout the county. Official
ballots now are being printed and will
be sent to the various election pre
cincts beginning next Tuesday.
