New Bicycle Ordinance.
Cityiltccorder Ed N. Edcs wilhtlils

J. A. Richardson, for his official sig
nature, the new bicycle ordinance re
cently passed by the city council.
That olllcial has ten days in which
to approve or veto the new ordinance,
but It is likely the enactment will be
signed so as to go Into effect on Oc
tober 1. Notices ef the provisions of
ordinance will be posted in a conspic
uous place at either end or Commer
cial streets, that is covering that por
tion of those streets included in the
ordinance, so there will bo no excuse
for non-obseryauce of tlieordlnance by
either Salemltes or non-residence. It
is proposed to lnforco the new ordl
nancctvery strictly. One of Salem's
bicycle enthusiasts today remarked
that he could name liftcen riders who,
if obliged to keep off the sidewalke, It
would not be necessary for the
passage of the new ordinance. But
as the Oregon rain falls on the just
and the unjust, so will the bicyclists

submit to the provisions of the new
ordinance because of a few careless

Alleged Intimidations in the
Chicago Courts.
SERIES OF NEW SENSATIONS.
Defense Springs Surprises .t the
Leutgert Trial,
Chicago, Sept. 24. The Luctgert
trial opened with a sensational Inti
mation by ex-Judge Vlucent that the
police were intimidating the wit
nesses for the defense. Ex-Judge
Vincent asks that the jury be ex
cluded while he made a statement. Af
ter the jury retired ex-Judge Vincent
with indignation In his tones and
force in his declaration, said:
"If the court, please, there Is strong
reason to believe the people are Inter
fering with witnesses for the defense
and trying to iutlmidate them. I do
not know absolutely that this is true,
but the indications point almost di
rectly to that conclusion. I desire an
order of the court prohibiting such
action on the part of the police or
the prosecution."
"Why not make the injunction
cover both sides? suggested State's
Attorney Deenen.
"The court does not require In
structions from any of the attorneys
engaged." sharply responded Judge
Tuthill.
"I will make the charge that wit
nesses for the defense have been In
terfered with and harassed by the po
lice," said Attorney Phclen, of the
defense.
"If that Is true there should he an
Investigation,'' remarked Stale's At
torney Deenen.
"If any witness for the defense has
been Intimidated it has been done
without knowledge of theM.ate, and
wc do not approve of it."
1 will say now for the benfitof
the police," s-alrt Judge Tuthil!, with
severity in Ills tones, "that in case
these charges prove true 1 will deal
witii the offender, and my dealing
will not be gentle. This defndant has
rights here and they will be pro
tected "
"Why not order an investigation?"
said State's Attorney Deenen.
"Mr. Deenen, this court will make
the order it deems proper. That will
do."
When the jury was recalled Rosa
Glelch was placed on the witness
stand for cross examination. This
witness was called to impeach the
evidence of Emma Schlmrke, given on
direct examination of the prosecution.
She stated she was with Emma
Schlinpke on the night of May l.untll
11 .o'clock and remained with the
Schimpke girl until the latter entered
her home, She denied emphatically
that either of them had seen Luetgert
and his wife leave the lattcr's resi
dence and go to the sausage factory as
described. She denied that Gottieba
Schimpke, who testified that she also
saw Luetgert and his wife was with
Emma and herself that night.
Furthermore the witness said
Emma Schimpke since she had testi
fied had admitted to the witness in
the presence of others that she had
lied. According to the witness,
Emma Schimpke said she lied because

and she would not have testified on
Luetgert's side. The witness also
said Emma Schimpke tried to get her '
to tell the same story Emma did to
save the latter's reputation.
State's Attorney Deenen went at
this witness with one one of the most
remarkable cross-examinations ever .
heard in a criminal court. Ills ques
tions were aimed at her with he ra -'

George Shalley, a bartender at the
Mawle house, In Kenosha, Wis., testi
fied that he saw Mrs. Luetgert on the
night of May 3. He said she came
luto his saloon weary, as if she had
walked far. She inquired the direc
tion to the house of a farmer named
Mueller. The following day, Shalley
said he saw the woman again at

Ho was not acquainted with Mrs.
Luetgert, but. from the description of
her he was positive the woman he saw

New Orleans, Sept. 21. The
local fever situation has not shown
any improvement. There were fewer
cases reported today, but there was
one more death than in the previous
24 hours, and at least four patients
were reported at 0 o'clock to bo In a
dangerous condition. There' is no
reason to justify the statement that
there isn d ger of an epidemic.
Nine new cases were reported to
day and four deaths: Marie Dubois,
St. Charles; Ohas. Hill; -0. S. Cretow,

Silver in Ohio,
Columijus, O., Sept. 24. The silver
wing of the Democrats opened their
state campaign in Ohio yesterday.
Each county Is to hold a meeting, but
the grand central meeting was set for
this city. It was expected to have a
meeting In each school district of the
state, but In this matter the commit
tee say they will not be successful.
The county meetings, however, they
say, are assured.
About 3,000 people attended the
Madkid, Sept. 24. The Correspond
ence dc Espana asserts that Pourpar
lers are proceeding between the
United States and Spain for a friendly
settlement of affairs, In Cuba.
El Epoca, after denouncing a "sen
sational'' the story of an ultimatum,
points out that the Cubans have not
been at war with Spain without the
moral and material co-operation of
the American people.
There is a great deal of comment as
to the origin of the ultimatum
canard. It has bean been attributed
to a foreign ambassador, but all the
ambasradors deny responsibility
for it. The people do not think
that war is inevitable,
alt Is asserted that the liberals will
soon form a cabinet, and that on the
return of the queen from San Sebas
tian to Madrid Captain-General Wey
lo rwlll be recalled from Cuba and au
tonomy established lu the Island,
thus leaving no pretext for the inter
vention of the United States.
Would Europe Sustain Us ?
Washington, Sept. 24. State de
partment officials refuse to discuss the
statement made in tho Associated
Press cable dispatch from Madrid,
namely, that the countries of Europe,
with the exception of Austria, justify
the Interposition of tho United States
in favor of a termination of the Cu
ban war. Still, It Is recalled that
while Mr. Woodford was tarrying In
an apparently purposeless manner In
London and Paris, instead of proceed
ing to his post In Spain, It leaked out
that tho United States ministers at
ya'ious European courts had been In
structed to sound the governments to
which they were accredited, with a
view to learning haw Intervention In
favor of Cuba would be regarded.
Although it wasgcneially supposed
at the tlmo that this effort would not
succeed, there is now good reason to
accept the statement in the Madrid
cable as fully warranted by tho facts.
No Ultimatum.
New Yokk, Sept. 24. A special to
the Herald from London says:
In refcrenco to the sensational tele
grams from Madrid about the alleged
ultimatum and Inevitability of war
between the United Slates and Spain,
the Herald correspondent had a con
versation with u distinguished Amer
ican diplomat, who, though not per
sonally concerned In the American
Spanish negotiations, is in a position
to know the exact stale of affairs,
but who, for obvious reason would not
allow his name to be mentioned. He
said:
"I cannot, of course, pledge In ad
vance the government of the Uulled
Stales, hut so far as the present Is
concerned such a step Is not in con
templation. Tho United States has
probably Intimated through Mr.
Woodford that the present state of af
fairs is most deplorable and that If we
could be of any assistance In bringing
this condition of things to an end wo
should be glad to offer our ber vices.
But you may state ahsoutely that no
ultimatum has been sent to Spain by
the United States."

TEXT BOOK CONTROVERSY.
Over a Publication From the Pen of a
Salem Lady.
The Salem Statesman Bays:
"A Portland paper a few days ago
mado a reference, In uncompliment
ary terms, of a now text-book, en
dorsed by tho state board of education
for the uso In the public schools, and,
Incidentally, attacks Superintendent
Irwin. This work Is a brief history
and geography of tho state,
and Is Intended as a supple
mentary study to tho history and
geography text-books now In uso.
Tho paper referred to above charged
Stato Superintendent G. M. Irwin
with introducing this book, when It
was the work of the stato board In
stead, and the board had tho book
under consideration for two months
beforo taking tho action oblcctcd to, of
recommending its adoption. The cir
cular lettorto county superintendents,
asking for a vote on tho subject, as re
quired by law, was not written or dic
tated by Superintendent Irwin, but
by one of the other members of tho
board; and It was approved by tho
board and consequently, signed by
Supt. Irwin, as sccetary of that
board."
SOME FACTS ABOUT IT,
Stato Superintendent Irwin wroto
tho circular referred to but the board
of education cut down tho matter In
It about one-half. But the stato
board, composed of Messrs. Lord,
Klncald and Irwin never voted to
adopt this work conceded to bo a
very meritorious one as to do so
would force all the school children of
a certain ngc to buy It and put a
largo oxpenso on the peoplo of tho
stato. The members of tho board,
aside from Irwln,say they Intended to
only recommend Its uso as a useful
book, -and id id not recommend Its
adoption as a text book. They havo
Issued a letter to county superintend
ents recalling tho former circular, and
stating tho facts as abovo "et forth.
THE AMEKIOAN 1100K COMPANY
Is up In aruts against this book, which
by tho way Is from tho pen of a Salem
teacher, Mrs. Earl Race of Yow Park.
After the roast of Irwin In the Port
land paper, Lawyer Paxton, for tho
American Book company camo up to
Salem and protested. Ho said this
book would cost 50 cents apleco
for all school children who uso It,
whllo tho American Book com
pany would furnish theso facta
free as an apprcndlx to their
histories and geographies already
adopted. Governor Lord and Secre
tary Klncald speak In tho highest
terms of Mrs. Raco's work, and favor
Its uso as a supplementary reading
book for teachers, but uot as a text
book. Tho hostility or tho American
Eook company Is bound to mako pub
lic sentiment in favor of Mrs.
Race's book. That company
out of tho gcnoroslty of Its heart don't
furnish anything frco to tho public
schools of Oregon, and if they at
tempt to embody any of Mrs. Raco's
facta or matter from her book they
lay themselves liable They pay Mrs.
Raco's book a high compliment whon
thoy feel that It is necessary to cm
body bucIi matters as an appondix to
their geographies and histories, and
confess that their books do nob con
