la not considered serious. Cole has been
discharged from the department, which
was don by order of the mayor when
questionable reports wero made about
!ilm several weeks ago.

to the eflect that he uceepted 1 - 5o

Jury. There were 27 names signed
aa witnesses in the indictment against
Captain Bailey. Six of these were per
sona called by the captain in hla fa
. vor.
The charge against Singer la the first
one ever brought in this county, and
was unknown to many attaches of the
court It allegea he approached J.
Kessler, proprietor of a restaurant at
Mi Yamhill street, December IS, 1911,
and caused Kessler to discharge lslo
dtrassburg, a waiter. It was by threats
and intimidation that he la accuaed of
I'orclng the resignation.
Bays Coffey Cams With Singer.
Kessler was one of the chief witnesaea
before the grand Jury in this matter,
end is reported to have told the Jury
men that John B. Coffey, police com
missioner, came to the restaurant with
linger. Commissioner Coffey brands
thlB an absolute falsehood, and says
it Is one of the man; stories told to
involve him,- since he has been active
In prosecution of men and women who
have stepped over the danger line.
There was also a report from the
rtrand Jury that SIngor was criticised
for his dialings wli.li Keesler, who
charged thut Singer threatened him with
arrest If he did not contribute money.
Singer was subpenaod before the grand
Jury on this feature, and therefore
could not be indicted for such an of
fense. In the indictment against Wilde and
Morris, it Is charged they -entered Into
a secret agreement to divide $12,600,
which Is characterized as a "bonus" In
the purchase by the defunct bank of
$200,000 worth of bunds of the Homo
Telephone company of Puget sound. W.
II. Moore, president of the bank before
it suspended, is alleged to have been
mixed up In this deal, but no indlctineut
was returned against him.
Chief of Police Slover last evening
said: "I have received no instruction!!
from the mayor as to how to ac.t In
the case of Captain Bailey and until I
do receive Instructions either from him
or the police commission, Captain Bailey
will remain In charge of his relief. I
have aa yet received no official notifi
cation that Captain Bailey has been In
dicted, ao there la nothing for me to do
In the matter."
Captain Bailey reported as usual last
night and took up his duties as If noth
ing out of the ordinary had occurred.
Last of the Pit Women.
From the London Times.
By the death of old Kitty Grayson,
which has Just taken place at Brynn, in
the Wlgan coal field, England, probably
the last survivor of the tace of pit wo
men of the old days has passed away.
Kitty, who was In her ninety-second
year, was, In face, probably the last wo
man who worked in the mine, and her
life linked up the present with the far
off days when women and children toiled
long and arduously In the bowels of
the earth.
The act of parliament, known as Lord
Ashley's act, which prohibited women
and girls, as well as boys under the
age Of 10 years, from working under
ground In the mines, came Into operation
la 1843, when Kitty was a uprightly
young woman of 19, working as collier'u
"drawer," or wagoner, in the pit.
In order to evade what was then re
sented as a legislative Innovation by
many of those In whose Interest the law
had been - put upon the statute book,
Kitty Grayson disguised herself as a

(Sneelnl to Tlie Jmraitl i
Roseburg, Or., Dec, 30. The first
annua show of the Douglas County
Poultry and Pet Stock assocla;ion,
which closed tonight, was a success
which greatly exceeded the expecta
tions of the management. The mag
nitude of the poultry Industry In
Douglas county was never before fully
realized, although this county's adapta
bility for successful poultry raising has
long been known. The larpe number
of pure bred fowls exhibited by Doug
las county poultry rnisors surprised
even those best acquainted with the in
dustry. Five hundred and fourteen fowls were
exhibited, occupying 270 pens. Seventy
Individual exhibitors entered birds. The
fowls which were on exhibition Includ
ed the leading strains of chickens,
ducks, geese and turkeys, also pigeons
and a pen of China pheasants. Orp
ingtons and Plymouth Rocks led in tho
number shown, with Leghorns, Wyan
dot tes, Mlnorras, Rhode Island Reds,
Cochins and Brahmas well represented.
One-fourth of the fowls on exhibition
were from other cities, some exhibitors
coming from such distant towns as
Mllwaukle, Central Point Corvallls and
Lebanon.
The cream of quality as applied to
fowls van seen by visitors to the show.
The task of designating the prize win
ners was In some instances a hard one
for Judge W. E. Stanfleld, of Liver
more, California. There wero awarded
as premiums 18 handsome silver cups,
11 for the best pens of as many strains,
one for the sweepstako exhibit and an
other for the largest display of all
classes of poultry, quality considered.
The largest number of birds waa
shown by E. A. Kruse, of Roseburg,
not only chickens, but ducks, geese and
turkeys. A similar variety was shown
by Ed Schoel, of Albany, the largest o
outside exhibitors. Included In Mr.
Schoel's collection was a fine pair of
Buff Orpington ducks, a variety of
fowl never before seen by many Rose
burg poultry raisers. These ducks aro
of beautiful color and are from two
to three pounds heavier than the In
dian runner, its nearest relation in ap
pearance, and lays nearly as many eggs.
They are raised extensively In the east,
but Judge Stanfleld says those on ex
hibition hero were the first he had
seen on the Pacific coast.
Judge Stanfleld, formerly of Hills
dale, Michigan, and who Is recognized
as .one of the foremost poultry experts
in the country, waa high In his praise
of the show. "You have as many birds
on exhibition here," he said, "aa you
will find In any local show in the
east, and the general quality of the
fowls Is high. People who never be
fore gave poultry a thought are sure
' to become converted to the Industry If
I they visited this exhibition. In a few

ENGINEER SENDS
HIS APPROVAL OF
RALL LIFT TYPE
City Executive Board May
Now Award Contract for
Superstructure of Broad
way Bridge.
Notwithstanding the nredlctlnnn msda
by rival designers that Engineer Ralph
Mortjeskl, In charge of the construction
of the Broadway bridge, would not ap
prove the Rail type of rolling life bas
cule, ho has done so, a telegram from
ModjeKkl to Mayor Rushlight stating
that tho Chicago expert has examined
tiie plans bid upon and that he has found
them satisfactory.)
Friends of the Brodway bridge move
niont regard Modjeskl's announcement
as most Important for the reason that
the city executive board may now, with
out fear of getting a weak bridge, award
the contract for the superstructure to
the lowest bidder.
The bid contemplating the use of the
Rail bascule was the lowest of the 11
bids submitted, being $173,452.20 lower
thar the highest tender receiver by
the executive board, and $6,669.20 under
the next lowest bidder.
Competition Keen.
This latter also contemplated a roll
ing lift bascule, known as the Scherzer
design, end was submitted by the Penn
sylvania Steel company. This company
was the lowest bidder on every typo
of bascule offe'red and was the only
company to bid on the Echerzer speci
fications. The certified checks of all other
companies that tendered bids have been
returned by the exeoutlve board, so
that no matter which type of bascule
is finally selected the Pennsylvania
company will get the contract.
The competition among banculo com
panies has been especially keen, the
rivalry between the Rail company and
the Straus company being marked.
The Rail company submitted only one
design of tUo Straus concern bid furn-
ycars you will notice a big adduce in
the Industry."
It had been several years since Rose
burg had a poultry show. A comparison
of the show Just closed with the pre
vious local exhibitions indicates the
tremendous strides made in the poultry
industry In this county.
ished plans for two designs. Ths
Pennsylvania bid, based on the ttan
type of bascule Is $693,777.16, and that
of the Btrauss company for the heavy
Straus bascule is $744,159.35. This
company also submitted a bid on a
modified design of the Straus bascule,
the amount of the bid being $705,621.85.
ftrslgfct Question Important.
The weight of steel to be used In the
superstructure If the Rail type of draw
is chosen will be 18.968,000 pounds. If
the regular Straus type Is chosen the
weight of Steel will be 14,955.000
pounds. If the modified Straus bascule
is decided upon the steel used will
we!rh 14,100.000 pminds.
The fact that Modjeskl has approved
the Rail plan Is taken to Indicate that
the difference In the weight of the
bridge between what It would be if
either of the Straus designs are ac
cepted and what It would be if the
Rail Is designated will not bar the lat
ter from being awarded the contract.
Mayor Rushlight went over to Seattle
recently to examine a Straus bascule
In operation and was very favorably
Impressed with It. He says, however,
that If Modjeskl recommends some
other type, he will not oppose Its se
lection. If he Is convinced such a choice
would be for the best Interests of the
city.
Modjeskl, in the telegram reoelved
by the mayor, said he ,would send his
report on the bids to the executive
board within the next few days.
