Ing a fierce quarrel with General

ported here today to itand ready to
aid President Huorta In crusrlnjr ths
rebellion.
If such a situation really existed,
It of course would bo highly gratify
lug to Hucrta and tho general opin
ion among foreigners was that tho
lluortlstas merely wished tho report
was true. Fow or them believed It.
War Minister Dlanquct promised
Charge d'Affalrcs O'Shaughncsny to
Intcstlgato the hanging of Omenta
Vcrgarox, an American citizen, near
Xuovo Laredo, Messages from ths
United States indicated that Versa-
rez was put to death by the rebels
but tho understanding hero that it
was tho federals who hanged him.
At any rate O'Shaughnessy ro
coUed Instructions from Washington
to demand satisfaction. Minister

Alleged Violations of Hue Sky Law
Probed, But Evkfcnee Also Insuf

Conilcinnnlion of scandnlmongiiif;
Portland contractors, who lauftrhcd
n campaign of viilifieation against
Major Howlby of the state highway
commission mid the Jackson county
court, becnusc of disgmntlcmcnt
over failure to secure a Pacific high
way contract, is voiced in the report
of the grand jury filed with the cir
cuit court this morning.
Letters Wero Unsigned
Unsigned letters sent out aro clas
sified bv tho grnml jury as "highly
scandalous, unkind and attacking
the integrity of Major Howlby nipl
the county court," nnd regret it ex
pressed "thnt the evidence is insuf
ficient to warrant indictments, "yet
morally certain" of tho guilt of cer
tain Portland parties. The grand
jury urges that the next grand jury
continue the investigation of the let
ters and chnrges.
The grand jury investigated alleg
ed violations of the blue sky law, in
which thousands of dollars of local
money has beeir'ncuf Injp other
states nnd countries, and found Ifiefo
wns insufficient evidence to w-nrrnnt
true bills.
Tho only true bill returned wns mi
indictment against John Dee for
stealing a pig.
Grand Jury Report
The grand jury report follews:
"We, your jury, respectfully report
thnt we have examined carefully all
matters brought to our attention;
that under the instruction given by
your honor on the subject of libel,
we find thnt u number of highly
scandalous unsigned letters have
been circulated throughout the coun
ty, attacking the Integrity of Stalo
Kngineer Howlby and 6ur local coun
ty court, because of tho failure of
these parties in receiving the award
of certain contracts let iu Jackson
county. Your grand jury is iinnlilu
to fasten the guilt specifically upon
any Hrson, Jiut ine morally satisfied
that theto letters were written by
disappointed Portland contractors.
An investigation of tho letting of
these contracts satisfies your jury
conclusively they were awarded
properly to the lowest bidders uml
that there idis no cause for com
plaint; nml while we regret that tho
evidence is insufficient at this time
upon which to find a true bill, wo
most severely condemn such coward
ly ami scandalous practice.
"The recent grand jury having
just investigated tho county offices,
we deem it lulvisiiblo to taku this
matter up at a litter sitting.
