trial In Judge 'Davis' court for alleged
libel of County Judge Cleeton and
County Commissioner Llghtner, must be

with the progress being made In tne
trial, and It Is likely that unless. coun

cords, that he will rule out such evi-
- dence. ' , '! ' , '
The records In Question are warrants,

The defense Introduced tbs records
after Judge Davis had ordered them Into
court when he ruled out WlUey'a report
' on his Investigation. Counsel for the

for bids for same, thus violating a stat
ute. The state, on the other hand, con
, tends that bids were asked for on all
this material, and that even had this not
been the case, the county commissioners
as fiscal agents for the county, were
within their duties.
After the Jury had been excused yes
terday afternoon Judge Davis said:
"Counsel for the defense must on Mon
day morning furnish the court with a
statement setting xorin wnemer iney
Tnot in nrova hv thla testimony any
malfeasance. Id office, or corruption or
wrong doing on the part of the county
commissioners, or whether It is intro
duced to show that a certain statute has
been disregarded. Upon counsel'! answer
In this statement will depend- possible
argument on the law on this question.
. Proceedings are Monotonous.
"The court's only purpose in making
this request Is to possibly expedite the
trial"
yesterday afternoon's session was
, repetition of the monotonous morning
proceedings, when Accountant Wllley
Identified a score or more bills which
had been presented to the county, and
the warrants for their payment. Wllley
said that In his investigations he could
rind no record to snow tnat the county
riad advertised for bids In these cases,
The state noias tnat advertising was
done when necessary and that many of
" the purchases made came under the head
of "emergencies" where bids were not
required.
The only relieving feature of the ses
Ion was occasioned by Attorney Dan
c?8wersT when he went to sleep and near
ly fell- off bis chair. Even the court
smiled
: When court adjourned Judge Davis
Instructed Bailiff Cicero Hogan to take
charge of the Jury over Sunday.

STORE IS INSTALLING
TWO NEW ELEVATORS
'.That the retail business of Pnrtlcml
Is Increasing is evidenced by the eon
tract signed by Olds, Wortman & Klnp
for two inore passenger elevators of the
hydraulic plunger type, but with much
larger cages than those now in use by
the firm. These are considered the
safest and smoothest running elevators
known. They are not In common use on
account of their greater cost.
When this contract is completed, Sep
tember 1, the Olds, Wortman & King
store will have eight large elevators In
operation, two of which will be used
. for freight This service will be ample
on account of the large carrying ca
cecity to accommodate the Increasing

Press Club Commands All
Such 1o Be on Hand

Well, that's all right. ,
So are a number of members of the
Portland Press club, made so by' their
years of toll under the glare of the eleo
trio lights, by the happy.' Irresponsible
life of the newspaperman, by the rum
ble of the great presses Just starting In
the basement for the last edition as the
cub reporter dashes In with the scoop of
the year that the rival sheet printed yes
terday oh, you know.
It might be said right h era, tnat tbls
is not an advertisement for any hair
restorer. Nor a story of a cub reporter.
Oh. no, not that
Far better than any such as those.
The point that all this has been deli
cately leading up to, trending toward.
as it were, Is the Bald Headed Night
that the Press club will hold on week
from next Thursday, June .-...-
The last seml-publlo affair held by
the Press club -was the Candidates'
Breakfast, Just before the primary. This
proved 'such a popular .success, except
for the candidates, that there has been
clamor ever since .for another of the
club's famous gridiron events. . .
Bald Headed Night Is the answer of
the entertainment committee, which Is
headed by Curt Merrick of the Associat
ed Press, F, D. McNaughton of the Ore
gonian, and "Count" Wallin of The Jour-
Just what the committee has In store
for the bald headed men who attend this
function they refuse to say. It's pretty
well understood, 'however, that some
hair raising specialties are on the pro
gram. And that Isn t meant for a Joke.
Every member of the Club will be per
mitted to bring one outsider with him.
The' only condition is that' the guest
must be baldi Men who wear wigs or
toupees, however, will not be barred by
this ruling, being considered as falling
In the broad general classification of
those suffering rom the affliction of
baldness.'- " . ; ': ; ..-:..
Aside from the bald headed part of the
program there will be soma special en
tertainment for which, Manager Johnson
of the PanUges theatre vouches,
'lnrourh the courtesy of Mr. Johnson
andthe theatre, several of the perform
ers in the best acts on the show pro
gram will drop over- to the Press club
after 10 o'clock and entertain' there.

Roseburg, Or., May J.The automo
bile has-not wiped the horse off the
msp, not In Roseburg anyway. In the
livestock parade this afternoon there
were Percherons weighing nearly J00O
pounds and Shetlands Weighing less
than 200. All roads led to Roseburg
and every road was well patronised by
the farmers coming In to exhibit their
fine stock or to see the livestock pa
rade. In addition to the excellent dis
play ' of horses there were prise win
ning Jerseys and Guernseys, milch
goats, sheep, hops and angora goats.
One of the features of the parade
that reoelved hearty applause was the
exhibit of the United States . forestry
service. Led by S. C. Bartrum, the
forest rangers made an excellent show
ing. Following the rangers on horse
back was a pack train loaded for serv
ice with camp, equipment, and fire
fighting . apparatus, axes, shovels and
telephone' equipment. Shortly before S
O'clock the captive balloon was liber
ated with Luther Page, R. H. Lead bet
ter and .Earl Stewart as passengers and
with Edward Ungcr in charge. It took
a northeasterly course and was report
ed from Peel, about 20 miles distant,
as passing over at a height, of half a
mile. ,!' "

. Paris, May 24. rTyphold fever lias at
Isst been mastered by science and with
in a few years the dreaded disease will
probably ' na longer be known, even in
tropical lands.
Dr. Henri Vincent,, member , of ' 'the
French Academy of Sciences, and head
physician of the Val-de-Urace hospital
here, has announced In substance that
hereafter he who dies of typhoid, doos .
So "because of his -own, or some one
else's carelessness for the ey typho
vaccination has been proved absolutely
safe and effective.
Medical men here proclaim the con
quest one of the most beneficial to hu- . ,
manlty accomplished in modern tinu-s.
The process of rendering mankind im
mune from attacks of typhoid is new.
only ss an actompllshcd fact The. ac
tual discovery dates hack a number of
years, experiments to prove Its worth
beginning soma four years ago. -And it
is upon the results of these years of sc-'
tual practice that Dr. Vincent bases his :
report to the Academy of Medicine.
- "Prom now on," declared the bacter
lologist, "typhoid takes Its place among .
avoidable diseases; better than that, the
malady may even be completely wiped
out. ' - .
Wo Sanger is Vaccination.
"For 14 months I have been exceed-"
ing!y busy vaccinating, patients at the
hospital. I inoculated 44.000 persons In
that time. I even, vaccinated Individ
uals actually ill of typhoid. These last
had extremely light attacks and Were
attending to their ordinary duties In a
very short. time. .The others ars com-"
pletely Immune, , , .
"At Avignon, in 1912. there was an
epidemic of typhoid. There were 1500
cases and 64 deaths. Living In the city
were 1336 people who had. been vacci
nated and not a single-one of these wis
stticken. Among he 187 soldiers who
had not been vaccinated,' there" were 161
cases of typhoid and 23 deaths.
"One may submit to this vaccination '
without hesitation and rely absolutely
upon the new prophylaxis. The treat
ment must be rendered -common so the
world may benefit from U. In Franca
alorje, -during -She year 10 to 1910,
ovef 22.400 people died of typhoid. The
vaccination of French soldiers has been
official since 1911, at which time fever
seized 75 out of every 1000 serving in
Morocco. Since then, noVon soldier, in- :
oculated with. the new virus, has been
stricken. ' ,." ..
We are dally rendering immune -scores
of people at Val-de-Braofc We
have at tho hospital alone applications
from 160,000 others who wish to submit
ttf the vaccination. " ; vw
"What should be done. - however, Is
this: Every city and town should ee-
tabllsh a sort of free, clinic and there
vaccinate all comers without charge."
The professional atanding of Dr. Vin
vent leaves no room for doubt ills re
port to the Academy of Medicine here
created a stir and physicians generally .
appear to consider typhoid as van
quished. For the bacteriologist's ex
periments were not confined to guinea- .
pigs and rabbits, but, tested by scores
of thousands of men. women and chil
dren, there has riot been a single failure
of the virus recorded.
