"Tha instructions were taken by the stenographer and can be obtained in black and white, and ara entirety Im partial and etrlctly In accordance with law. at least this is tha opinion of a great many attorneya who know of them and are entirely uninterested In the pro ceeding. "In the trial of Roy McClellan case Judge Coke was aent for on account of his having no Interest and bln vir tually unacquainted with any of tha par ties to tle homicide, and It la unfortu nate that the recall can be Invoked In a matter of this kind at the instigation of thoae who feel personally wounded by reason of being fined for confessed violation of the liquor law. However. In view of tha notoriety which has been given tha matter. Judge Coke and hie frlenda will be only too glad that the matter go before the people, and It la hardly fair to commence a contention of thla character by atatlng that there la any aentlment agalnat him at hie boma In llarshfleld by reason of any decision or otherwise, as this Is not tha case. Hla decislona are recognlaed there aa the result of a careful examination of the law, the testimony of the altueeaea and tha argument of counsel. AL KJielGBVES 51 80 NOBLES ATTE.VD . IXITIA TORY. CEREMOX1ES. LAWYER DEFENDS COKE Cooa Bay Man Sa ja Judge Stands High In Esteem. An earnest defense of the record and the Judicial reputation of Judge Coke, of Marsr.tleld. agalnat whom a recall peti tion Is being circulated, ia made by J. W. Bennett, an attorney of Cooa Bay. who ia visiting In Portland and who la ac quainted in Roseburg and other portions of the Second District. "Judge Coke standa very high In the esteem of the people of Coos and Curry counties." he said, "as well as with the membera of the legal profession where be la located. H'a decUlona throughout the entire district ara appreciated for their fairness, aa well aa from a Judicial standpoint. "The Judge la careful and conscien tious, and It la wrong to aay that there la any feeling against him In any part of the district, except that possto'y in the recent trial of Roy alcClellan. for murder, at Roeeburg. where the Jury brought In a verdict of acquittal. Seme feeling may have been engendered by those who are not In sympathy with the defendant and also by reason of Jude Coke having Imposed aome heavy fees la cases where partiea had pleaded guilty for violating the lawa prohibiting the sale of liquor In that locality." Mr. Bennett also said that neither Judge Coke nor hla frtends objected to the re rail being invoked, but In view of the notoriety which has been given the mat ter they would insist upon Its provisions being carried out.

Into their making, for more than a generation, have gone the finest materials, the highest technical skill, the most critical taste, the most painstaking care. Every thread of wool is imported from the mountainous regions of Persia, Afghanistan and the Caucasus. Every particle of dyestuf f is tested repeatedly. Every improvement that inventive genius can suggest is utilized in their manufacture. , Today Anglo-Persian rugs are known everywhere for their beauty of design and coloring, their smooth and lustrous finish, their proved and tested serviceability. In our windows this week is a notable display of Anglo-Persian rugs. Many more in aU sizes-are on our floors. - They are new; most of them arrived last week. They are well worth seeing. We sell Anglo-Persian rugs in the 8x12 size for $55.00. This is no more than you would pay for the same rug in New York or Chicago. It is some $400 less than you would pay for an Oriental rug of equal beauty and durability. If you care about your home, we believe that an Anglo-Persian rug will yield a larger return in per; manent satisfaction than any other $55 investment you can make. J. G. Mack & Co ; ! LONG LOST.

BOWLES TRY-OUT WINS "A MATIN-EE HERO," PRESENT ED AS CCRTAIX-RAISER. Actor's Own Sketch Pleased Baker Theater Audience In Test for Vaudeville Circuit. The premier production of "A Matinee Hero," a satire on himself by Donald Bowles, was presented yesterday after noon as a curtain-raiser at the Baker Theater. This sketch Is intended for a third tour in vaudeville and Is the original work of Mr. Bowlea A packed house was in attendance and at the end of the playlet so Insistent were the outbursts of applause that the actor waa brought a dozen times before the curtain. In tho parlance of theaterdom the sketch "made good." It is purely and obviously a farce, a travesty on that time-honored institution of the stage the matinee hero. Mr. Bowles Invests the role with daring clevernesa and a spontaneity that wins. Garbed In white flannels, with mono grama tacked on gloves, hose, cuffs and even his wide picture hat. the matinee idol displays and discusses the various medals plastered all over his chest, and distributes his autographed pictures to the maids In the stage boxes and front row. The story proper tells humorously or an old sea-dog, who loathes actors, and his giddy young daughter, who dotes on 'em all, and on this matinee hero In particular. He comes to call and dis plays so much charming ego that the old sailor insists on throwing him out bodily. But the maiden, with the help of a young brother, does a make-believe drowning "stunt," that forces the actor Into the limelight as a real hero, or so father thinks, and like the fairy stories everybody lives happy ever after. . The situations are ludicrous in the extreme and the lines bristle with new Ideas and keen quips. Nleta Qulnn has developed an amaz ing amount of comedy out of her role as the beso-worshlper. and Ronald Bradbury as the captain Is a constant source of merriment. His pantomime is delightful. - Stanley Christian plays the part of the young brother and does It excellent ly. He sings, too. In pleasingly-fresh voice, that earned for him a deserved. Mr. Bowles has a songalogue writ ten by him. I fa a very funny thing, about the life of a matinee hero, its Joys and sorrows, which he gives with a swing while calling, between lines. XVI IMC 1 The stage appurtenances are quite In hamnnw with th stnrv. f t scene be ing laid In the home of the old sea captain. 50-MILE WALK PUNISHES Man Indicted for Forest Fire to Es cape Easily After Hardship.
