AGED COUPLE OBJECTS TO BEING CHARVARIED Alleging that half dozen boys, who 'CRIME TO TAKE SALT charavaried a bridegroom 73 years old (gpecU! to Tb Joaraal.) ' Marshfleld, Or., Sept 20. It fa ex pected that Dr. Bailey K. Icach will be in CoqulUe Monday to testify before . the grand Jury In the deportation cases. It was reported that Sheriff Oage had gone to Portland with a bench warrant for Leach but this was a mistake, At first Leach wired that he would ' Dot . come unless he had his. expenses pafd and was given a body guard. The guard was refused and then Leach wired to know the fare. In view of the demand made by Governor Weat upon Leach to testify the fare money has been wired. Leach, and the amount will be deducted from Ills mileage., The grand Jury is making a thorough investigation of the cases. It is said tHai same .charges have been made against Leach and an Indictment Is en peoted against a Marshfleld roan who has taken a stand actively against those who 'deported the I. W. W. man from this county. After Leach has been heard It I likely more local witnesses will be ex, amlned. Whether or not there will be Indictments against any of those who deported the men, la as yet a matter of speculation.

Over 1000 public school children vis ited the new nubllo library yesterday and were officially Initiated into the mysteries of the building. It was chil dren's day, and every available mem ber of the library's large force was on hand to entertain the little ones, it was an "open house," a reception, an excursion and a sightseeing tour all rolled in one. Commencing at 1 o'clock and con tinuing until late in the afternoon a stream of youngsters came pouring into the building, all keenly Interested and athlrst for knowledge. In the lobby of tho handsome new Duuaing they were met by a reception com mittee and conducted to the children's Jin. which by all means Is tne pret tiest room In the building. Here they nroro Introduced to shelves full Of books to delight the boy and the girl. Youngsters Are Delighted. Huckleberry Finn'" and "Little Women" were revealed for tne iirst time to many a delighted youngster, while those too young to appreciate these childhood classics were regaled with simpler tales and picture books.

StartinR at the periodical room, BOOKSELLERS MUST RETURN OVERCHARGE School Children Who Bought Writing Books Paid Too Much for Them, . A recent Investigation by the state department of education has disclosed the fact that certain text books used In the schools of the state have been sold by booksellers as a price in ex cexs of what Is charged for the same book in Chicago. Inasmuch as the state has contracts with publishers stipulating that booka shall not be sold in Oregon for a price higher than that in any other state in the country. Superintendent of Public Instruction J. A. Churchill has secured a promise of refund to those students that have paid the excessive Pfjce. The books In question are the Pal mer Writing Lessons and the Palmer Method of Business Writing, which u. ... h.u aiiinv n Orpeon for 20 and 25 cents, respectively The price In Chicago, however, is i ana jo cents. School children who have paid the higher prices for these books can obtain a refund of the difference upon application to their bookseller. Speaking of the investigation-of com parative book prices, Mr. Churchill says: "This department is endeavor ing to do all that Is possible in se- riirlnar tnr hn hnva and cirls of Ore gon, books at as low a price as they can be secured anywhere in the Vnlted States. We will continue our inves tigation on every book contracted for our schools." i iMB-QjJWatfySTORtfOroWJLANO WARWICK'S FINANCIAL CONDITION HOPELESS London; Sept. 20. The struggle against the tide of ill fortune pursuing the Earl and Countess of Warwick seems to be a hopeless noe. Their financial affairs are now In such condition that they have called a creditors' meeting, In order to make some disposition, of their debts They plan to set aside the Income from certain sources to pay off-their Indebt edness and live modestly for a time, un til a turn in the wheel of fortune will bring prosperity. Asdy Warwick, It will ba remembered, undertook a lecture, tour in America last year in an effort to earn sufficient money tb enable the earl to keep up his estate, but the project was not success, ful,' and the countess was forced to re turn to England. It is rumored - that Lady" Warwick may again take to the lecture platform as a means of earning money.- , : ' Music for Every Home best ..See the two. great talking ma chine combination offers with record Inplllriflft. a o-lvat'tii-atrl g.n rta Brm Q kaa. tlon 7, this paper. v (Adv.)

Going upstairs, the party first visited the reference room, then the technical room, the cir culation department and the librarian-'s office. At each stopping place a talk in simple language explained the uses and purposes of the Uepartrnent. . tory Hour Teetore. As a grand finale, however, came the biggest treat of the visit, a story In the story hour room. Here library assistants In costume recounted folk and fairy tales, while the little ones listened with bated breath. Three young women dressed to represent na tive girls of Japan, Holland and Scot land told folk tales of the countries each was supposed to represent. So interesting were these tales that many of the youngsters were loath to give way to new arrivals. An exhibit of dolU of all nations In the lobby drew forth many udmiring "ahs" from the girls. Tho boys, how ever, seemed to prefer to browse among the books in the children's room.' Miss Jessie Hodge Millard, who has charge of the children's department, said at tho close of the afternoon that ther plan had been successful beyond all her expectations. The reception was held in the hope that children would become acquainted with what the library has to offer and make use of the department which is conducted solely for the benefit of young boys and girls. and a bride 72 years old, who were visiting at his home, 1765 Division street, a few nights ago, became Inde cent in their language, B. E. Hall had them brought before the Juvenlla court yesterday. According to Hall the boys made plen ty of noise and even came Into his house and pounded their tin cans jn his woodwork, took away . chair, rugs and the house number from his porcn and threw mud and water about. The language seemed to be the main point on which he based his complain. The boys maintained they used no bad language. They were allowed to go, as they had no bad records but were lectured by Judge Gatei-s on the right of .others. 75c School Songs, Baily, 10c Sale cn tomorrow.
