Gladys Fraaler and Kmma Skibbe wern
the three persons sentenced after a trial
In police court on a charge of larceny.
The original charge was one of grand
larceny, but as the complaining witness,
Johnson, wanted to return to his home
in Rockford, 111., at once the charge was
reduced to simple larceny. In order to
avoid taking the case to a higher court.

case. Their bond was fixed at J1000

temporarily relaxed. Dr. Smith la to

That tha frlanda of tha direct pri
mary can overthrow Simon In tha pri

that Smith can accomplish this unifi
cation, and that ba has qualities of
strength sufficient to carry him over

Judsre W. N. Gatens also declines to
be considered. He says that under the
oath he took as circuit judge he could
not accept the nomination if it were
tendered. This oath pledges him not
to be a candidate for any other office,
except a judicial one, during the term
for which he was elected. As he was
appointed to the bench, and not elected,
It Is contended that this would not
apply to htnrl. but Judge Gatens Is not
disponed to draw line aisiincuons.
With the filing of candidacy by Coun
cilman A. U. Rushlight, there are now
four names In the field for the Repub
lican voters to choose from, the others
being Simon, A. A. Bailey and C. h,.
McDoneil. It seems certain that a third
name will be added, either that of Dr.
Smith or some one agreed on by the
friends of the direct primary as a direct
challenge to the convention forces. " An
effort will then be made to throw the"
full strength of the primary advocates
to this one man, ror wttn a scattered
vote the victory of Simon, with the or
ganization behind him, would be a cer
tainty. Knmor In Votlos.
There Is a 'susrarestion of humor in
Simon's notice of intention to become a
candidate, which ha has filed at the city
hall. He desires printed after his name
on the ballot the following words: "A
business administration on business
principles, without machine politics, but
treatlna- all alike."
Without machine politics' is the
clause that is exciting aulet smiles
among the politically wise. Simon was
so long cmer engineer or ono or tne
most perfect machines ever formed that
this renunciation came with a peculiar
ring. .
As the situation shapes itseir, it De-
comes apparent that Simon s elements
of strength are also the points of weak
ness that may puncture his rejuvenated
ambitions. He has a strong organiza
tion behind him. but that organization
has already made many enemies among
the friends of other candidates, who do
not relish a "frame-up' herore tne pri
mary, in which they supposed tney were
to have an eiual show.
Support May Cost Totes.
He has strength among the business
element, but It Is being whispered that
the support of the public service cor
porations will drive a large vote the
other wav.
The labor organizations nave iaicen no
action as yet. They win wait at least
until after tne situation is ciaruien,
and then may not act except as indl
vtduals. They have made no demands
on the candidates of the convention, but
friends of the direct primary their
support is counted on for men who are
Independent of alliances that have any
odor of old time political methods.

this morning that he will not be a can
didate for reelection unless his con

CURRICULA BOARD
Br Jnnrnal Leased Salem Wire.)
Salem. Or., April 10. Attorney Gen
eral Crawford holds that the board of
higher curricula cannot prescribe the
standard of admission at the Oregon
Agrl.-ultural college and the University
of Oregon by the act under which -those
colleges were created. The function of
the board is simply to determine what
courses of study snail be duplicated In
the two Institutions of higher learning,
according to tne attorney general.
The attorney general holds that tha
board of higher curricula cannot pre
scribe what texts are to be used, but
only the general course or subject. The
board takes none of the powers of the
board of regents of either of the two
schools, according to this holding, ex
cept when courses are duplicated. The
members of the board also cannot visit
other institutions outside the state and
impose the cost on the state of Ore-

raveling within the state only.
