that the Interests of the defendants had

published yesterday morning in the Ore

Judge Bennett declared that there was

Judge Bennett than read an affidavit

" In view of tha prejudice which the

Mr. Heney replied to the objectiona to
tha regularity of the panel by reading
from the statutes and showing that they
had been Strictly followed, a view with
which Judge Hunt coincided. As to the
second ground of the motion for a con
tinuance. Mr. Heney aaid that there waa
nothing to Indicate that tha Oregonlan'a
article had attracted the attention of the
talesmen, and he thaught it aafe to aay
that nlne-tentha of them, like himself,
had never read It. Judge Hunt waa of
the opinion that tha facta did not war

thereupon overruled.

originally -171,000 on aecurtty of 1171,

hav $71,000 loaned on property which

further noticed that at tha time of the
greatest loan which, was f 71.000-w
ware . protected by Insurance - to the
amount of 178,800 on the buildings
alone, and that . we have thla aame
amount ol building Insurance on . loana

appear that the value of the real estate

in tne minds of aome of our mem
bera the idea prevail that th estab

bodies both the matter of providing a
retreat . to which Incapacitated and
superannuated letter-carrier can go and
under certain - regulations spend their
declining days rn comparative comfort
while along with thla they contemplate
ine esiaDiianmeat and maintenance of a
aanatorlum at which our members can
regain their health. To my mind, a
heme for aged letter-carrier I well
Igh Impractical. The thing above all
others which will act against the estab
lishment of such a home Is the faot
that the average letter-carrier la a man
of family. Therefore it would be neoea-
saryr to make aome provision Tor hla
wife, and in fact wa could not place the
husband Into a comfortable berth whore
hla material want arenrovlded for.
and- at the same time leave hla wife to
the tender mercies of - the world. Any
plan for the establishment of a home
which does not at the same time provide
for the aged carrier's wife aa well aa for
himself- is Impracticable,- because

"Thla bring u to th second phase
of the proposition tha establishment of
sanatorium for the treatment of the

ahould recuperate from hla ilia under

several ways of handling this matter,

sanatorium, either on the dormitory
