TAQK FOUR GRANTS TASS DAILY OOI KIKH YYKIlNKMIlAV, MAIH'II A, 1010, We Value Oiu Reputation In Repairing m much as in selling Reliable Goods Letcher & Son JEWELERS LIVES IN GREAT FEAR OF Y DR. REDDY IN FIGHT AT Dr. J. F. Reddy, former chief of police of Spokane, and after mayor of Med ford, Oregon, was arrested yesterday on a charge of battery af ter he had knocked down and sat upon E. H. Weidekind, a mining ex pert, in the lobby of the Palace hotel, ays the San Francisco Examiner. The two men were separated by employes of the hotel, and were both taken to police headquarters by De tective McLaughlin. The two attempted to renew fisti cuffs on the way to the prison and McLaughlin said he had the greatest difficulty in restraining them. Dr. Reddy was released upon ball furnished by himself. No charge was lodged against Weidekind. Dr. Reddy, who owns extensive chrome deposits in Oregon stated yesterday that Weidekind had been In his employ. He said: I was talking to Weidekind In the hotel lobby, when the conversation took an unpleasant turn. When he gave an exceedingly ar rogant reply to a civil question. I could contain myself no longer, and knocked him down. Then I sat on him for a while. At the same time that I delivered the blow I called Weidekind a pro German. He has previously tried to pester me with what I consider In sidious pro-German propaganda. Re cently one of the workmen on the mine hit him with a shovel on ac count of his attlude. Dr. Reddy Is one of the. largest chrome producers in the west. He makes regular trips to San. Francis co on mining matters. Weidekind disappeared after be ing taken to the city prison with Reddy and could not be found to give his version of the encounter. . Peter Sampson, a well-dressed man of perhaps 60 years of age and who is thought to be mentally unbal anced, was taken to the couuty jail in this city today by Sheriff George Lewis. Mr. Sampson says he has a home stead In Jackson county, although he has not been on the claim tot several years. He Is a French-Canadian but ays he has resided In Oregon for many years and Is a naturalized cit izen. He is under the delusion that the Salvation Army is harassing him and giving him undue publicity and is seeking asylum from their perse cution. He demands HO. 000 dam ages from the government and as serts that If the money is not forth coming Immediately he will force the payment. When taken to the sheriff's office today, a .38 calibre revolver and a large clasp knife were found 'in his pockets. The revolver was loaded and the knife was sharp. He claims to have recently returned from Washington, D. C, where he went to Interview the president in regard to the payment of the 140.000, and also went to Salem to see Governor Wlthycombe. but at that place was denied admission because of the gov ernor's illness. Mr. Sampson was far from being "broke." having some money and about $600 In war savings stamps In his suit case. He will be taken be fore the Insanity board tomorrow, Judge Gillette -of the county court being in Portland at the present time.

Kinney, superintendent of public j instruction of the Territory of Ha waii, has planned to make a tour of the normal schools of California, Oregon and Washington next April In an effort to obtain teachers for the 1919-1920 school year. Hawaii has suffered from a short age of school teachers during the past year and Mr. Kinney hopes to engage at least 100 normal gradu ates during his tour of the coast states. While in San Francisco he will arrange with steamship com panies for transportation for the teachers. Discussing his plans, Mr. Kinney said: "I will make the trip to get teachers direct from the normal schools, as we find that this is much more satisfactory than dealing with agencies. Then, I think It would be an excellent idea for some one from Hawaii to get in personal touch with all the normal schools of California, Oregon and Washington. At present we are In communication with only, a few of those In California." At present grammar school teach ers In Hawaii are paid a minimum of $692 a year, with regular annual Increases for five- years, when a max imum of over $1,000 Is reached. Teachers' organizations expect that the territorial legislature, which meets this month, will grant them an increase of one-third of their present salaries. Support for the teachers' measure has been pledged by a number of prominent members of the legislature.
