Although the Im perial ruler has Issued an announce ment that a special council will be called to consider the Chinese senate's memorial that the Chinese parliament open in 1912 instead of In 1915. it is generally believed the people have been handed an oriental lemon. The throne in Its announcement refuses to accortt the responsibility of calling the session before 1916 and It is known the special council will not call a parliament until told to do so as they will become jobless as soon as parliament convenes. Thus It looks like the Chinese representative government Is further removed. CONSIDERING INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM PLANKS Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 29.

SQUIRRELS ROUT BIRDS AFTER S-DAY BATTLE Glen Ridge, N. J. A three-day bat tle between English sparrows and red squirrels ended when a flock of the birds, estimated at several thousand, with a great twittering, forsook the lofty double row of trees In Midland avenue and took up a new home In the woodland between Glen Ridge and Montclair. The sparrows had become a pub lic nuisance In Midland avenue, where the trees arch overhead and give a tropical look to the street. The birds came there in such numbers Chat sleep grew to be an almost unattain able luxury on the part of the human residents of the vicinity. For the last four weeks mighty pyrotechnic bombs were fired off In the foliage. A number of birds were killed, but the flock soon got used to the explo sions and finally got so they would not even fly away while the bombs were going off. Erward Bartelow of Green Pond, who was a visitor at one of the Mid land avenue houses, trapped seven red sulrrels near his home and brought them to Glen Ridge. He distributed them over the trees, and the combat at once began. The red squirrel robs nests and eats both old and young birds, and the attacks of these tree climbers on the sparrows could be plainly heard by the house holders. The squirrels were placed on the tree and the birds had to fight for their lives to get away. The eyes were picked out of several sjuir rcls before the birds gave up and moved. Peter Murray came down this morning from his home at Adams. - WELL KNOWN WEST JESSE MOORE FOUND . DEAD IN HIS BED Butter Creek Randier I'smhcs Away While lie.

PitlMburg Girls Accused of Immodest ueiiavior on Hallowe'en. Plttsburer. Pa., ftet S9. That mam fair maidens of the Smoky City are wont to celebrate Hallowe'en by strip ping themselves of the maidenlv re. serve, and other thlnsrs. anil lettlnir loose all hold on the moral law, is the charge made by women of the lo cal W. C. T. U., who have appealed to the mayor and chief of police to do something to stop the naughty cut-ups on next Hallowe'en, now only two days in the offing. Many shocking stories are told of me actions or pert voune thin eh who. in past years, have donned coats, vests and well, trousers and under the In fluence of the strange garb have turn- ea inemseives loose In the gayest of gay revels. Young ladles of some of Pittsburg's most resDectable famlllpa girls who have had the benefit of church and Sunday school in their upbringing, are alleged to have been the chief offenders. It is said that tney have entered saloons, put their little tootsy-wootsies on the brass rail, puffed cigarette smoke In the far of the outraged bartender, and, after a iieany siep up, genu, and name your plzen," from the leader of the gang, have auaffed their lln nnr HVa trrfA fellows. In the opinion of the IaiUa nt iha Women's Christian Tem nersnrA TTn. Ion, such conduct Is "immodest and conducive of the leading astray of young girts." The police have prom ised to put a StOD to it. and If tm of the sweet young things get too gay nexi aionaay night, they may find themselves enjoyin the hostiitmltv of a police station. That the W. C. T. IT. ladies th not exaggerating Is vouched for by a num ber of patrolmen and reporters, vhn assert that on Hallowe'en last year vney witnessed scenes which made them blush. And to mako n Smnin City policeman or renorter blush la about as difficult a matter as may wen De imagined. Mrs. Fred B. Boyd of Athena, came down from that place last evening.

The Morrow county agricultural society elects one member of the board while the other members of the board are named by the governor and serve during good behavior. In a statement to the East Oregon lan today Mr. Roosevelt declared "he will not accept reelection to the board.
