The Journal carried more advertising than the Oregonian for the six days of the week, as well as in its Sunday issue, something The Journal has never done before, which is further evidence of the people's approval and support.

Constable Lou Wagner Is In grave danger of criminal prosecution by At torney Bartlett Cole of the firm of Cole A Cole for malfeasance in office, the apeclflc charge againat him being In the plain language of the time that of graft ing. It la charged that Mr. Wagner and his deputies demand a certain fee be fore they will take Immediate action In any case which la filed In Justice Retd'e court, that they allow, attach men ta and Judgments to remain in the pigeon-holes tot their desks for indefinite time unless tneir movements are quickened try toe magto touch of gold In their palms, that the bualness of the count is hindered and justice defeated by their tactics. It is further to be charged that the lawyers who practice before the court are powerleaa to help themselves, that they must either come up to the re quirements of the constable or else hsve their business suffer through the fail ure of the constable's office to do Its duties. Graver Charges Hade. A charge perhaps still more grave Is made that in many Instances when Judg ments have been Issued out of Justice Raid's court and have been given to (he constable to serve, he has made returns that the claim can be com promised for some less sum than the Judgment, after having made the propo sition to the defendant in the case who was under Judgment that he could settle It for so much providing he would be allowed the costs. It Is alleged that the office is paying Mr. Wagner as much again aa the sal ary allowed him by the laws of ths state. His salary Is tl.fOO under section 3007 of Bellinger and Cotton'a code. For a long time the lawyers of the city who have been practicing before Judge Reld have been annoyed by the grafting propensities of the constable, but they have not taken aotlon agatnat him because they feared to make a bad matter worse by incurring his en mity. Now. however, Bartlett Cole, of tht firm of Cole Cols, has like the fabled worm turned at last and threat ened criminal prosecution against Mr. Wagner under section 182 of the stat utes of Oregon. This section provides that any officer of the state who shall take any sum whatever other than hla Kalary prescribed by law for service rendered, or shall hinder the action of Justice by falling to do his duty, shall be subject to severe penalties. It is under thla section that Mr. Cole In tends In a short tlms to bring action against Wagner for malfeaaance In office. Wast the Xaftw Sara. The section in question, which will be the basis of the rult against the consta ble, is aa follows: "Section 1112 If any officer of this state, or of any county, town or other municipal or public corporation therein, other than the governor. Justices of the supreme court or members of the legis lative assembly, shall willfully and knowingly charge, take or receive any fee or compensation other than that authorised or permitted by law, for any official service or duty performed by such officer, or shV.l willfully neglect or refuse to perform any - duty or service pertaining to bis nice, with Intent to injure or defraud tiny one. or shall will fully neglect or i of use to perform such duty or service to the Injury of any one, or to the manifest hindrance or ob struction of public Justice or business, whether such injury, hindrance or ob struction was particularly Intended or not, such officer upon conviction there for shall be punished by imprisonment in the penitentiary not less than alx montha nor more than one year, or by Imprisonment in the county Jail not lesa than three months nor more than one ytear. or. by One not leaa than ISO nor more than $600, or by dismissal from office, with or without either or any of such punishments.'' Will Aot at Onoe. Mr. Cole In discussing ths case thla morning said that ha had not aa yet taken the matter up with the dlatrict attorney, but that he Intended to do so ha aeon as possible. He waa led to the course by his Inability to secure service hi the court and hla consequent failure to secure Justice for his clients even after he had secured judgments agalns' the persons whom he had sued.
