W) A move, to investigate the prac tices of chain store orRanlstntions to determine if they constitute a violation of the federal anti-trust laws, was Initiated in the house today In a measure introduced by Representative Stobbs, repub lican, Massachusetts. The measure would instruct the federal trade commission to in vestiRato chain organizations in reference to the purchase and the sale of merchandise and whether such practices consti tute a violation of tho anti-trust law, . - - However, duo to the fact that be tween 1500 and 2000 rcRlstiation cards have been cancelled, either because the voters had moved away or died, the new registra tions will not mean such a big Increase as was at first thought. Perhaps the main interest In the county candidacies will lie between county clerk's office and the office of county school su perintendent, each of which have f.our candidates, with tho parly nfflliation of all the candidates being republican In tho former. Theyh are as follows:, Delilla Stevens Meyer, present Incumbent; I!. It. Carter of Talent and A. J. Close and C. T. Parker of MeU ford. ....... Of the candidates for school superintendent, one is a democrat. Haymoml Cornwell of .Medford, while the others are .republicans and are: Susunne Homes Carter of Jacksonville. v. A. Davis of Medford and O. W. Milam of HoRuo liiver. Three candidates are in the field for the sheriffs office, with Rnlph G. Jennings, incumbent. running on tho democratic ticket and George Alden and Charles Stack of Medford running on . the republican ticket. The only other competition that exists in county candidacies, lies between J. C. Iove and Victor Bm-sell, both of Central Point, who filed on the republican ticket for nomination for the office of county commissioner, now held by Victor Bursell. A. C. AValker has no competi tion In his filing on the. republi can ticket for another ' term us county treasurer nnd likewise J. H. Coleman of the same party will have no competition in run ning for the assessor's office, which ho now holds. Outside of H. W. Conger, republican, no other candidates filed for- county coro ner, which office Conger has held for the past term. G. J. T'res- cott filed on the republican ticket for constable for the Medford justice district and also has no competition. Keen competition is expected. however, attorney, by tho fact that the city's credit is very sood because of the policy of retiring so' many bonds for years past, and the administration's last progress In straightening up of the assessment situation. While the bond sale will be ad vertised in Medford and Portland newBiiapers, the probabilities are that tho bonds will be purchased by Medl'ord bankers, as local In vestors seem to regard the city bonds as very desirable because of the good credit of the city. The council did not act on tho request of one of the city's jewel ers to have an ordinance pnssed based on the Portland ordinance covering the subject in that city, to place restrictions on local Jewelry auction sales, especially during the month of December, as tho local jewelers are divided on the mat ter. One of the jewelers last nilit in advocating the passage of such an ordinance, intimated tho jewel ers were united In favoring it, whereupon two other local jewelry merchants present got up and de clared their opposition to such a proposed ordinance. The council then referred the matter-to its li cense committee. Today it was learned that the jeweler who favored it last night will not drop the matter, and will endeavor to have the local mer chants' association line up back of such a proposed ordinance. The council decided to hold a special meeting next Tuesday night with the Sixth street appraisal board to discuss and take action on tho board's assessments to pay for thooifenlEf? of that Btreat and Im provement work on it since. , Fred Scheffel, city superintend ent and engineer for years past, tendered his resignation to-the council, to take place within 110 days, as ho desires to dnvote his entire time to the service station which he and associates own nt Sixth .and Fir streets. The coun cilmeu promptly tabled the resig nation document, with the hope that later they will be able to per suade Mr. Scheffel to remain lu office. However, ho is determined to In the race for district leave the city's service nnd will the candidacies of which do bo at the end of CO days, or be- wero filed at the secrctnry of, fore, if a successor is appointed. lute's office at Salem, with Vnl- he said this noon. ? Vs hi tbv r t -. ' w lace G. Trill of this city the first to file, followed by Allison Moul ton and Newton C. Chnney, of Medford, incumbent, on the re publican .ticket. George Codding of Medford is the only democratic candidate to file. A clo.-. race. perhaps a three-cornered race, is xpocted in the republican pri maries, with Trill polling a larger vote than he is generally ex pected to poll. However, the main race will probably He be tween Moulton nnd Chancy. Mcul- ton was the first to nnnbunce his candidacy, having done so over federal two months ago. I Judge C. M, Thomas filed at Salem for his second term as cir cuit Judge, on the republican ticket for Jackson nnd Josephine counties and has no opposition. Likewise, John H. Carkln of this city and William Hrlgge, - who filed for the republican nomina tions for Jackson county repre sentatives to the state legislature, will have no opposition.

April 18 IIP) Mrs. Nellls Tayloe Hoss, former governor of Wyoming, apparently doesn't Intend to obey tho "no trespassing" sign hung out by the Women's Democratic league of Southern California. In Los Angeles to open a tour of California in tho interests of Governor Al Smith's candidacy for the democratic nomination for president, Mrs. Hoss was notified yesterday by the lengue that It protested an "outsider's campaign ing In our state In behalf of one group of candidates contesting In a California primary." To which Mrs. Itoss declared: "1 hnve come to California at the Invitation of Governor Smith's friends here. In doing so I vlo late neither the letter nor the spirit of the primary law or good political ethics." Determined to give her daugh ter a good education and social advantages, . Mrs. Garret F. Wat son ran a rooming house in 'Washington to pay expenses. Now her daughter, Miss Margue rite (Peggy), is reported engaged to wed Prince Charles Philippe, the Duke de Nemours. .The prince's uncle, ' King Albert of Belgium, is said to be opposed to the marriage, but the prince de clares if he does not obtain royal consent to marry ho will marry anyway and go to work to sup port his bride.
