Is awaiting his second trial for the mur

attorney has placed a motion before the
court asking that the case against him
be dismissed the-boy will no , doubt be

Dora was acquitted on her second
? trial some II months ago.1 It was one
of the most hotly contested cases ever
' tried In the Josephine county court It
was ths belief of every one who was at
' all acquainted with the case that she
i'i would be found, guilty... The fact that

, v "am room, and with their bed but two
' ' feet- from the bed occupied by the

; at Granite Hill mining camp In which
"V he was murdered, seemed a certain lndl
cation that the girl must at least have
kui an Aocftmnfloe in the crime. But

shaken from It. She declared she heard
i no shot, nor sound during the night
and that he knew nothing, of the crime
till next morning, when she awoke and
discovered her father dead In bed.
' . Calm Soring Trial. ' " '
Durlag her trial Dora displayed re
markable calmness and self-possession.
The cnttlng sarcasm and stinging invec
tive of the prosecuting attorney brought
only a pretty smile from her. She sat
through the cross-examination unmoved,
and the Jury could do naught else than
acquit hJC, :" ''' "' '
Though given her freedom, the girl
was not at ease. She was not, seen
around Orants Pass for several nfohth

whs a mere shadow of her former self.
She was continually haunted by some
unseen terror; - What this was no ono
knew, and no one knows yet, for the-girl
would say no word about the crime.
The pronecutlng attorney said the girl
would tnke tne stand curing ine conn

A pathetic case of parental neglect
was brought to light in ths municipal
court today by ths arrest and trial of
R. F. Tlmmons, a plasterer, residing
at 410 East Tenth street, charged with
roaming eihe streets after hours.
According to the story told by Can
tain Glover before the municipal court.
Earl, the 8-year-old son of Mr. and Mr a.
Tlmmons sought , the protection of the
Solice last night, telling theofflcer that
e was alone In the house snd afraid
to remain alone during the night.
Investigation ahowed that Mr. and
Mrs. Tlmmons had left home early yes
terday morning and had proceeded to
apend 140 salary money paid to Tlm
mons that day. The couple had gone
to a saloon and. after both had become
Intoxicated and Tlmmons had become
engaged in a row over a fancied Insult
to Mrs. Tlmmons. had separated.
The. small children, four in number
and ranging from 8 years to IT months
in age, bad been lert aione in tne,nouse
without anything to eat from early
morning until after midnight last night,
when 4he parents returned.
Tlmmons was surly during the trial
and the case was continued until to-,
morrow for further testimony. He will
perhaps be sent to the rockplle. Cap
tain mover intends to report tne mat
ter to the Juvenile court In order to
have the children given the protection

Whether or not, the election was legal,

"I do not know that the city attor

own initiative," said Mr. McNary this
morning. "The mayor haa SO days in
which to prepare his proclamation, and
after that the validity of. the -bbnd issue
can be determined. In my opinion the
best way to do this would be for some
representative property owner whose
Standing In court is unquestioned to be

bonds on the ground that the election
wan not legally advertised.
"The -case could be taken-to the cir

best to take the case from the circuit

opinion the supreme court would be will

' mixing Dishonest Capitalization.
" ' (Wltibuirton Borsaatof The . Journal)
Washington, , Juns,". 8. President
Roosevelt has east the die, declaring
for such a series of amendments to the
rats regulation bill as will maintain at
face . value all existing stocks, bonds
and debentures.' He is averse to
"squeeilng the water" from outstanding
securities according to ths ideas pro
mulgated by ' Senator , La Follette and
William J. Bryan. -:- w: fi,' V-V'i-'
This has been settled by the presi
dent's Indianapolis . speech. : " And - it
opens up dlsousslon as to what is to
be the stand by ths Wisconsin States
man and the man from Lincoln, Nebraska.
Senator La Follette has made his en
trance into national politics largely on
the platform favoring eliminating the
water from alleged spurious issues of
securities, and Mr. Bryan has Iterated
views exactly in oonsonance with Mr.
La Follette'a vlewrtouchlng the question
of capitalisation,, and ignoring federal
ownership of control in , this discus
sion. ; . x .-'
Two Schools or Befona, .
Senator La Follette is ss squarely on
record in favor of a physical valuation
as the basis of rates that It. la not to
be expected that he will recede. Thla
Inevitably will bring him into conflict
with Mr. Roosevelt, and force him. to
common advocacy with Mr. Bryan, so
far aa concerns the Question of capitali
sation. .' ' '
Politicians here regard thla lateat pro
nouncement of the president as drawing
the line between the two schools oi
railroad reformers, for that there are
two schools Is conceded. The one will
follow Mr. Roosevelt against Interfer
ing with - existing Issues of securities.
and In favor of preventing further wa
tering or securities.
The other school will adners to tne
La Follette-Bryan idea that past wrong-
L .. , 1 J
doing in watering securities should he
corrected -by eliminating the: water,
harp Conflict Assured.
That ths third contlngent--those who
wou'l do nothing will have much to
say about amendments to the rate law,
la unlikely. It la aparent that the peo
ple have determined to do. something,
and that It Is merely a question aa to
metnoa ana the principle which shall
underlie the doing.
Here Is where tne debates will arise,
and that there will be sharp conflict
seems to be assured. ; The Roosevelt
school of statesmen will argue that
present holders of securities should be
protected on the theory of innocent pur
chasers, who are not responsible for the
wrongdoing of the stock Jugglers.
The others will contend that, if pres
ent stoc": and bond Issues bs made good
at face value. It will be tantamount to
legitimising dishonest capitalisation;
they will call attentlln to the fact that
ti a man haa paid 130 a share for a
railroad stock he is not entitled to re
ceive interest collected as railroad rates
on iioo. '"i.' . -
- Half of Stock Boras. -
Senator La Follette haa been Quoted
over tt.e country as the authority for
ths assertion that approximately 40 to
60 per cent of the exlstina securities
are spurioua His standing before the
people depenoi largely on whether or
not thla shall be proven to be true;
tnererore, tne president's declaration
that the total of stocks and bonda ex
ceed their face value forces La Fol
lette to a position whence he must
flght the president or admit that he
has been wrong.
The country, therefore, will witness
a debats as to whether or not physical
valuation shall be the measure, of a
railroad property, and the method to be
employed to prevent future stock wa
tering will be determined by tbe same
Issuewhether or not railroads may
Issue stocks In excess of actual Invest
ment, or be permitted to create securi
ties to represent the value of the free-
given franchise and privileges granted
under the right of eminent domain. ,
