RUSSIANS JAILED FOR ATTACKING JEWS At the first Jury trial ever had In the juvenile court, which will occur next Thursday, W. A. Sllngerland will appear to show cause why his adopted daugh ter Edna, aged 11 years, should not be recommitted to the Boys' and Girls' Aid society, and Slingerland's alleged con nection with the Tangled Tongues will be thoroughly aired. At the hearing of the habeas corpus proceeding, bufore Judge Fraser this morning. Deputy District Attorney Rob ert Galloway, appearing (or the aid society, admitted that fatal defects ex ist in the original petition on which the child was first taken from her foster- parents, and the writ of habeas corpus by which It was sought to secure tier release, was confessed. A new petition had been filed, however, and the child remained In the custody of the aid society. Slingerland's attorneys said they were willing to try the case on the new getltion before Judge Eraser, but the ltngerlnnds want a Jury, and a jury will be drawn. The petition alleses that the little girl was not given proper parental care. Kdna Sllngerland was first brought Into the Juvenile court when her foster parents were ordered to explain why she was not attending school regularly. 'At the hearing the child professed to ree angels, and told about how she fol lowed the angels around over the house and how they obeyed her when she com manded them. She had been taught this strange form of religion by Sllngerr land, she said. Sllngerland was allowed to take the child home again on promising that she would not be subjected to the religious excitement again, but later on the charge that the promise had been broken Kdna was taken from Sllnger land again and was committed to the Boys' and Girls' Aid society. It Is said that since being taken from the SHngerlands' influence the little girl has forgotten her strange religion and Is now very much averse to being given into Sllngerland's custody again. Deputy District Attorney Galloway will appear for the Juvenile court at the trial next Thursday. AT MARCOLA BANK TO BE ESTABLISHED (Special Dlapatcb to Tbe Journal.) Eugene, Or., July 27.

Carson came to Portland some time ago and opened his wholesale grocery house on Front street.

When the de liveries were made he would put off the day or settlement for a time.

Twenty auto cars of all makes, slses and descriptions left West Park and Kverstt streets, beginning at 7 o'clock this morning, for the 136-mile endur ance run to Salem and return, and every car reached the capital city except one, the 60-horsepower Thomas runabout driven by R. IX Inman, which broke down about half way. 8. P. Baumgart ner. in the 40-horsepower Ford, who started at 7:15 o'clock, was the first to reach Salem, covering ths distance in 3 hours and 20 minutes, arriving there at 10:35 o'clock. Louis N. Green ley, in ths 35-horsepower Steyns Iuryea, drove In a few minutes behind Baumgartner. A long distance telephone call from Salem at noon stated that the roads had been found too dusty and rough, making fast time impossible. The cars stood the travel exceptionally well and will take on a fresh supply of gasoline, water and lubricating oil. At Salem it was decided not to begin the return start until 2:30 o'clock, which will throw the finishing time close to 6 o'clock. Seventv-elcht people including the driv ers occupied the caiw that made the trip, many or tnem Deing ladies. While coasting down the hill at Ore gon City at a good pace the car driven bv H. L. Keats sustained a punctured front tire and the collapsing tube caused it to careen and dash from the road into the underbrush.

Several mluutes were lost In repairing the tire and placing the car on the road to resume the Journey. Ost Away Was plendid. The start was a splendid one and the throbbing engines seemed eager to be off The first car left at the Judge's word at 7 o'clock, and the remainder fol lowed In order to four-minute Intervals, the last leaving the starting line at 8:34 o'clock. H. L. Keats was the first to be off and Frank Bennett's Reo car. driven by Joe Perkins was the last. Mr. Ben nett intended driving his own car but was taken ill last evening and was unable to be In the competition. All of th hills were easily taken by ths cars but considerable trouble was encountered from dust. With ths ex ception of about five miles the roads were In very poor condition. No at tempt was mad to establish time be tween the two cities but th Intention was to determine which oars could mak the run without resorting to stops for repairs. However, th time made by the machines is counted as exceptionally good. It is probable that an effort will be mad to make better time on the re turn, which will be down th west sida of the river. Th run this morning was up the west side of tltixrlver until Ore- ?on City was resched when the courss allowed the west bank. It is nlso hoped that less dust will be encountered on the run home. At the last moment J. TV Kelly en tered his big Whit stearker weighing trifle over 5,000 pounds and capabla carrying eight people. The car mad a good run and finished well.
