The youngsters first claimed to have come from Canby, but Investigation proved they resided in Portland. They secured lodgings at a Seventh street hotel, where they aroused the suspicion of the clerk, who notified Chief Shaw The lads seemed so Indifferent about their capture that Chief Shaw let them spend the night in the city Jail, after notifying Mr. Franks, the father of one of the lads, that his son was safe. The night in Jail did not In the least affect the sensibilities of two of the youngster for on asking how they liked Jail life, young Cadwell told the chief it was a pretty decent place and young Boag that he didn't mind staying there! Messi.

A man here who knows Ira ' Jones says Jones, however, has a scar of this kind. In one of the pockets of the man at Santa Ana was a torn piece of en velope, in the upper left hand corner of which appeared the printed return ad dress of H. L. Brown, sheriff of Lane county.

Callison heard them below. He pound ed against the house sldhg, thinking they would be frightened away, but this had no effect. Going to the second floor, the men threatened the couple if they madejtn outcry.

Jones has tendered his res ignation as a member of the Estacada city council because a woman has been elected a member. Councilman Jones Is an unrecon structed anti-suffragette. Before elec tion he was a strong opponent of equal suffrage, but when the ballots showed that the women had won. he swallowed his chagrin, contenting himself with a wish that he lived in Dahomey or some other country where only males vote. He had an idea that the men would con tinue to hold the offices, anyway. , It was like a bolt out of the sky when Councilman Hawkins a week ago nominated Mrs. E. M.

Declaring that his view of th trust Question was to let well enough alone that under the Sherman law the problem would solve itself and advocating a change in the American governmental system to bring it into conformity with British usage. President Taf t submitted to congress today his third message for this session. The message also dealt with the affairs of the interior, agricultural, postofflce and commerce and labor departments. In hi message President Taft outlined his stand on the trusts thus: "A commission looking to fixing price is altogether impractical and should not for a moment be considered a possible solution of the trust question. The trust question, by the enforcement of the Sherman law, is gradually solving Itself and is maintaining the principle and restoring the practice of competi tion.. If the law is quietly and firmly enforced business-will adjust Itself to statutory requirements and the commer cial unrest provoked by th trust dis cussion will disappear." Suggest "Pur Food" Court , - The . president . urged that special court to hear appeals in th enforce ment of the pure food law, and a re vision of the land laws to secure proper conservation and yet permit develop ment, for the readjustment of the pay of railroads for carrying th malls and for generous appropriations for the San Franclrco exposition. He proposed a plan to seat members of tho cabinet in congress, which was apparently modeled after the system in use in the British parliament.' He sug gested that th cabinet member partic ipate In debate and "answer questions of which they have due notice.
