Statement on Strike Situation Called False Accused of Using Position For Personal Profit Laboring Men Remain Stanch Supporters of Judge and Fight For His Retention. Denver. A very direful canvass of tlie uutM.indsey sentiment lu Denver, especially mining tlie women, shows thut it has grown steadily during the last six months. Lenders In the Wo men's Protective league and in reform movements outside of that organiza tion are loudly clamoring for the re call of the Judge of Denver's juvenile court. Men voters for the most part refuse to commit themselves openly. Dr. Mary Klizabetb Dates, the head of the Woman's Protective league, which was organized to ohtaln legal protection of girls, declared that it Is "war against Llndsey to the end." She called attention to a statement Just Is- JUDGtt UKNJ&111N B. LINDSBT. ued by the league, which, she said, fully expresses her views. The state ment 111 part follow: "Some months ago the Woman's Pro tective league called attention to the unlawful practice of the Denver Juve nile court in virtually protecting men confessing or convicted of crimes against girl children. These statements were supported by verified transcripts of the olhcial records of the juvenile court Itself. "Hut so shameful was the state of affairs disclosed that Denver and the rest of the country round It hard to be lieve, especially since Judge Llndsey lias long trained the public to believe In bis devotion to children and that any one who criticises the Juvenile court dues so from some seitisb or sin ister motive. "The disclosures of the Woman's Protective league. However, raised doubts and set people to thinking and Investigating something they never did before. "This, together with bis recent shockingly false statements in the east about strike conditions In Colorado, Has at last aroused our people to bis real character and that of his juvenile court. "The Woman's Protective league therefore desires to call jour attention again to its charges and Its efforts to expose this man. begun about a year ago, and to predict his speedy ellail nation from tbe public Ufa ot Colo rado." In cities and towns outside of Den ver Judge Llndsey la freely censured for bis attitude during tbe strike and bia recent public utterances In eastern dtiea. To offset this a large percent age of tbe labor vote ot Denver la un doubtedly pro-Undsey. It was reported, that petition for Harding in Brooklyn Eagle. Judge Lindsey's recall were being cir culated, and the report was given much prominence, it now develops that the petitions were prepared, but never left the attorney's hands. The grounds upon which It Is pro posed to recull Judge Llndsey, accord ing to one of the petitions, are as fol lows: First He has repeatedly and continual ly absented himself from Baid court and neglected his ludlclal duties for private and personal matters In no wise connect ed with said court. Second -He has delegated to clerks and subordinates powers and duties purely Judicial. Third. -He has refused to hear compe tent evidence, has shown bias and preju dice In cases on trial before him and has untered decrees contrary to the law and fne facts. Fourth. He has required clerks to sur render portions of the salaries allowed to Ihem by law. Fifth. -He has used his Judicial position for personal exploitation and profit Sixth. He haB conducted himself In a manner unbecoming a Judge and in such a manner as to bring the state of Colora do and Its children Into publio derision and contempt. Mrs. alary V. Lathrop, a lawyer and opponent ot Judge Llndsey, declared that Impeachment proceedings may be resorted to if tbe women find them selves blocked In their nfTort to recall Judge Llndsey. WATER WAGON KILLS OWL Eight Years Without Drink, 8uccumbs to Draft. Vineland. N. J. A pet horned owl belonging to Mrs. frank W. flood, wbicb bad not tasted water for eight years, got a drink the other night be cause the weather was so warm, im mediately the bird went into convul siuns. Sinking its talons through Mrs. Hood's hand. It (lied, with the deuth clutch so tight that lr tieorge Uun uiiigham had to he sent for to release the woman and dress the wound. Tile fancier of whom the floods bought the lurd said water would have the same elleet on the Dud it has on a mad dog. Curious Fish Spearing. Ill spite of the march of civilization there remains much that is still primi tive in Sicily, and a curious sight at ralcrnio Is to see tile fishermen spear ing fish In the harbor by the aid of glass bottomed buckets, says the Wide World Magazine. There are many corners of the world where fish are speared, but perhaps the use of the glass bottomed bucket in this connec tion is to he seen only at Palermo. The fishermen lean far over the side of their boats and hold the bucket on the water with one hand, poking their heads into it as if engaged In the Hal loween game of ducking for apples. They hold a spear poised In the free hand nnd thus await the arrival of their victims, who are sighted through the glass bottom of the bucket, which acta as a kind of telescope. Migrating Birds. During many of the nights In Sep tember the Inhabitants of the Island of Helgoland are astir with big lanterns and a kind of enormous butterfly net, the former to attract and dazzle the migrating birds when tbey come to earth to rest, and tbe latter to secure them. Mr. Seebohm, the great author ity on bird migration, states that he has known as many as 15,000 skylarks to be caught on the island In a single night The migrating birds are always Interesting to the ships that ply across the North sea and tbe Baltic. In Sep tember they settle on yard arm or on deck, rather tired, and the seamen catch files and collect them Into recep tacles for tbe benefit of the birds. Method In Her Madness. "Why do you quarrel with your bus band so these days? Have 700 ceased to love hilar" "No, but the cook enjoys It 8be lin gers with us, hoping to see a fight" Louisville Courier-Journal. For Ten Years He Has Trav on "All Fours." Birmingham, Ala. A case of a pos sible reversion to type is that of Thom as Armstrong, a twelve-year-old boy of Bangor, Ala. Upon the death of bis father be was thrown on the com munity and sent to the associated charities in Birmingham, then turned over to the juvenile court wbicb In turn transferred him to a leading phy sician. Tbe medical profession here Is using tbe boy as an anthropological study. Young Armstrong baa never learned to walk erect but goes on "all fours." He is physically strong and can run as fast as tbe average boy. His body and limbs are normally formed and developed. His arms are slightly longer than normal, presumably as a result of use in all four walking. It has always seemed natural for him to walk that way. When be was a little child his moth er died. His father married again, but did not live long, and tbe boy bad to shift for himself. From habit and usage he can place bis bands on tbe ground with bis body In a horizontal position. He says bis back and shoul ders never get tired from long walks. Tbe boy's mental development has been slow, but tbe physician who has htm In charge believes that In six months he will be able to walk like other boys. He Is being trained in that direction and has made some progress. He is gradually developing mentally as well. Physicians are studying the case with exceptional Interest In the belief that valuable anthropological and med ical Information may be obtained from bis treatment. For ten years the boy has traveled on all fours and can walk for miles that way and keep up with other boys. BEES GET SWEET REVENGE. Incidentally They Interfere Witn Traf fic and Demoralize Business.

Institution, but the hoes evennuHM had their revenge b.v stopping traih--and causing a number ot jIuh tm torles to suspend operations When the hees went mi the warpath they settled on a street car and drove motorman,' conductor and passengers to places of refmre other (tees hew Into shoe factories and s.uuu the oper atives so severely that theiv was a quick exodus, lu all the hees suspend ed operations In one of tile busiest dis tricts of the city for half an hour. OPPORTUNITY. Master of human destinies am I. Fame, love and fortune on my footsteps wait Cities and fields I walk, I penetrate Deserts mid seas remote, and, passing by Hovel and mart and palace, soon or late, I knock unbidden once at ev ery gate. If sleeping, wake; If feasting, rise before I turn away. It Is the hour of fate. And they who follow me reach every state Mortals desire aud conquer ev ery foe Save death; but those who doubt or hesitate, Condemned to failure, penury and woe; Seek me in vain and uselessly Implore, I answer not nnd I return no more.

Polk County, Oregon. July24-28-31. SHELLS Arrow and Nitro Club Chain Drive, Im NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. It is an incontrovertable fact that no business enterprise can be run suc cessfully without money. This is as true of the newspaper business as of other lines, and from this view point we earnestly urge all who know themselves to be in arrears in their subscriptions to The Observer and who can possibly do so, to pay up at once. Since the present owner assumed control many delinquents have liqui dated their subscription indebtedness, but there are others, and a consider able number of them, who have not "come across." With the newspaper we ate now producing semi-weekly, if every subscriber paid up promptlv, the monev received from this source would be inadequate to meet the ex penses of its publication. Therefore every dollar in arrears in this depart ment means that a dollar must be taken from some other place to make up the deficit. If you appreciate our efforts at newspaper making, please let us have a substantial expression of that appreciation.
