Probable Now That Case
Against Officers off Moose
Lodge Will Be Dropped.
.Oregon City. Or, June ;l'0. WO
liam Myers Jr., was this I morning
held ot guilty of selling whiskey
to Detective Bradley, by Police
Judge Loder. This was the ! first
acquittal In four trials of alleged
"bootleggers." during the past two
weeks. The other three cases; were
won by the prosecution.
Evidence was Introduced by the de
fense that one of the private detec
tives. Wilson, falsely testified In one
of the other cases. This knocked the
pins from the city's case.
Upon motion of City Attorney
SchuebeL the case against F. D. Cox,
co-defendant with Myers, was dis
missed. Attorney Schuebel refused
to comment upon the case against the
officers Of the Moose lodge, bat Is

Weddings at Sea
Quite the Thing
Newport. Or., June 10. To be mar
ried at sea by Captain Garner of the
beat Ollie S. seems to be the popular
thing just now. W. T. Clouston of
Jefferson, and Sadie Smith of Turner
are the third couple to start wedded
life tied by the captain within the
month. The grom is 60 years of age.
and his bride is 54. The romance of
a wedding at sea appealed to the old
couple, and they simply would not be
married on land. They are making
their home at the Cliff house here for
a time. The captain is ready for the
next couple.
;Smooth One-Step" ;

San Francisco, June 10v CO.. P.)
The dance steps which a few months
hence will be the . ballroom fad from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, are being
"made In ; San Francisco today.
When a dozen experts whirled about
the floor at Assembly hall and worked
out a series of graceful evolutions.
the season's styles In dancing , were
established. For this afternoon the
newest danceay to which the members
of the International Dancing Masters'
association have given official recog
nition, were exemplified for the mas
ters themselves
The principal steps exemplified
were the "smooth one-step,"" designed
to eliminate all suggestion of dips and
raises. This is an even, regular glid
ing movement; the American gavotte,
a somewhat stately and slow dance;
the alow fox trot, which is a glide,
rather than trot.
Various revisions of the waltz, one-
step and two-step. One-steps will pre
dominate, but they will be 'minus all
shoulder movement.
