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.

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."

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.- , : '

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.

According to Hall the boys made plen

house and pounded their tin cans jn
his woodwork, took away . chair, rugs
and the house number from his porcn

The language seemed to be the main
point on which he based his complain.
The boys maintained they used no bad

they had no bad records but were
