' Ho then went to the telephone to can np tne state veterin arlan about them. v , ' VWhen he returned he was told by some one to take the nest train for Portland and buy them If not afflicted with tuberculosis. At first he said that Kay had discussed the matter with the governor, but when pinned down on this point he said he did not hear Kay and the governor discuss the matter,' but as Kay was in the governor's of floe, ha took it for granted when the governor told him to go ahead and buy them that Kay had agreed. : " " Watson testified he remembered hear Inr Kav tall the srovornor he was the "cow member" of the board, and that anything he decided to do would be all right with him, A SpeoimOa ' Curbstone Meeting." "This Is a sample of one of our curb stone meetings we have been having," said Watson. , ' , Kay asked Hale If he remembered when Kay told him in. a telephone con versation that he would not give his consent until the board acted on the matter, as there were no funds, except the maintenance fund, out of which the purchase could ba made, and Hale re plied that he did.

There has been an improvement ever since he came." ....... He said he had never noticed lax dis cipline and had not noticed more es capes than had occurred under former administrations. He said Hale's policy was more len ient than -that of his predecessor, but that he believed in giving as much lib erty to boya as possible, and In remov ing the Idea that the Inatltutlon was a prison. "But I believe new boys when first ! ought to be aept under stricter watch," he said. It has been declared that trouble had been caused by new boys, some of whom were almost grown. ; Hale said In the six months since he has been at the Institution he has lost six boys who have not been re covered. He said last month he lost ten but that seven were returned.

NEW COUNTY OFFICERS ASSUME THEIR DUTIES; DAVIS TAKES BENCH (Continued From Page One.) 'rfN V-J OLGA STEEB FOR THE ALBERTINA KERR NURSERY HOME MASONIC TEMPLE THURS DAY EVENING, JAN. 9TH Using; the Unequaled Mason& Hamlin Piano The world's greatest musical critic, Dr. Otto Neitzel, writes in ' the ' Koelnischel Zeitung : , "A 'Madchen aus der ' Fremde,' the pianiste, Miss Olga - - Steeb, of Los Angeles, California, appeared unexpectedly on the 8th of the month in the 'Musikalischen Gesellschaft' and - showed such brilliant qualities that one sees in her a newly rising star' in the richly populated pianistic firmament. A ' great technic, a powerful and still soft touch, temperament mi musical conception are united in her, and all this is dom inated' by an artistically earnest, composed personality. As a dexterous rjder manages his horse, so certainly and play fully, does Miss Steeb domineer the keyboard that the hearer is deceived into the belief that there are no difficulties, but this virtuosity is subordinate to the musical thought. The com- ' , parison with Theresa Carreno, so often misused, is in this in , stance . throughout, applicable. " That a Bach fugue can be . piquant and joyous one learns from her playing, in modern style; of the G minor Fugue of Bach-Liszt, which, perhaps i from inveterate Bach admirers with a gentle shake of the head,' but by the public was received with gfeat pleasure., Three charming pieces from MacDowell showed Miss Steeb " , - an artist "with exquisite style. In the 'Sommernachtstraum rhantasie' of Liszt, which was played with as much dignity as bravura, 6he understands how to copy orchestral effects in a masterly way. For the rousing applause the artiste showed t her thanks with 49 encore from Chopin." ' ' ? ,, .

In most of the departments it was said that things would be running smoothly tomorrow, though it may be a week or so In some of the offices before th new deputies are able to master the intri cacies of their duties. -Judge Davis "on Job." One of the first officials to take of flee was George N. Davis, elected cir cuit Judge of department No. 4 to suc ceed Judge Gantenbeln. Though his seat is under contest by his defeated opponent, Municipal Judge Taswell, Davis took the oatn or orrtoe berore a notary a month ago and filed' It with the secretary of state. He. was on hand at 10 o'clock this morning, and took the bench. A jury case was up for trial, and the choosing of the Jury, with Attorneys JohnJF. Logan and Bert Haney aa the opposing lawyers, was the first busi ness of the court after a number of mo tion had been ruled on. Judge Davis immediately made it clear that he wants cases handled expeditiously when he dl. reeled Mr. Logan and Mr. Haney to be brief In their preliminary examinations of the men on the Jury panel. His firut official act, however, may Involve Judge Davis in a rather peculiar legal tangle This action wag his an nulment of the appointment of Alton Ilogers as official court stenographer and the naming of Roscoe Hunt, a young lawyer in the office of Attorney A. E. Clark, in his stead. Rogers was named court stenographer for four years by Judge Gantenbeln last November, and he announced that he believes his removal Illegal, and that he may bring legal action to compel his recognition as court stenographer. - . Court Bailiff Named. Judge Davis also appointed Samuel Poole as bailiff in place of John Court, ney. Except for one rather amusing Inci dent, nobody could have told for 1 min ute that Judge Davis wasn't a veteran on the bench. After the examination of Jurors had proceeded a few minutes. me juage euaaeniy recollected that his court had never been formally opened and called to order. He . asked aKree- ment of the attorneys to regard all ac tion previously taken as binding, which was given, and then had Bailiff Poole formally open court There was not even-the formality of transferring their office on the part of Circuit Judge R. G. Morrow, County Commissioner W. L. iLightner, County Treasurer John M. Lewis, County Sur veyor Phllo Holbrook, Justice of the PeaCff -JrWrtttt -and -CtmgtaBimnay Weinberger, all of whom were reelected officials. They had already taken their oaths of office, and nothing else was necessary. The new officials -who took office to day, besides Judge Davis, were Walter H. Evans district attorney; Tom M. Word, sheriff; Henry E. Reed, assessor; John B. Coffeey, county clerk; A. P. Armstrong, county school superintend ent; Dr. Sam C. Slocum, coroner, and Joseph H. Jones, Justice of the peace. . Vo Offices for Him. A. P. Armstrong; the new county school superintendent, found himself in Hie queer position of being an official without an office when he came to the courthouse this morning to take tip his duties. The former offices of the su perintendent on the sixth floor had been dispossessed to make room for the district attorney, whose belongings were Just being moved In. Professor Armstrong roamed the corridors for a while, rather amused at his own pre dicament, He finally rigged up a tern porary office in a room on the first floor used by Sheriff Stevens s a rest room for his deputies. Professor Arm strong and other county officials who have officos,.outslde, including the assessor,- juatices of the peace and con stable, will all be fitted out In about 20 days, when the west wing of the courthouse is expected to. be open. After turning over his accounts and prisoners, about 250 in number, to the new sheriff, Tom Word, shortly after J O'clock, 1 Sheriff Stevens ' took off his star and handed it to his successor with wishes for good luck. The , retiring sheriff gave out this farewell state ment; '': ' 1 - - Stevens Thanks People. li-4ealag4Wfk-'whrteTe- held for six and a half ypars of the most phenomenal growth that Portland Snd -Multnomah county have' ever en Joyed, I desire to most earnestly thank port, without whluh my aJirilnl.slniUti could not have buen otlmr than a fail ure.
