Coke Recall Is Dead.
Roseburg, Or.. Sept. 6. The
movement for the recall of
Judge Coke, which was started
shortly after the McClallan mur
der trial, is dead, according to
indications today.
The majority of citizens have
taken the attitude that if Judge
Coke erred in giving instruc
tions to the jury in the case, he
did so without aa ulterior mo
tive, and a recall would not be
justifiable.
The work of circulating re
call petitions has been suspend
ed, the Illness of Attorney E. L.
Cannon, the leader of the move
ment, being given as the reason.
The petitions alleged that
Judge Coke 'defeated the ends
of justice" by giving instruc
tions to the jury that were fa
vorable to the defendant.

UNITED FRESH LEASED WtBl
Richmond, Va-, Sept. 6. Evidence
Involving Beulah Blnford in the
murder of Mrs. Louise Owen Beattle
for whose death Henry Clay Beattie,
Jr-, is now on trial at Chesterfield,
was discovered this afternooa by
Detective L. L. Sherer of the prose
cution, according to his statement.
The allege information indicates
that Beulah Blnford might have had
knowledge of the crime before It was
committed. Sherer asserted that he
may seek an indictment charging the
girl with being an accessory to the
crime.
An eye witness to the killing of
Mrs. Beattie is being sought this af
ternoon. A letter received by Sher
er discloses information, which, if
true, will settle beyond a doubt the
guilt or innocence of Beattie. The
witness has so far kept the Informa
tion secret, but the prosecution to
day sought to force him to tell what
he knows.
The testimony has closed, but the
case will be re-opened if these reve
lations materialize.

That Rotten Land Grant.
Portland, Or., Sept. 6. The
answer just Bled by the South
ern Pacific to the federal gov
ernment's suit for the recovery
of 2,273,000 acres of land in
Oregon, on the grounds that
company has no right to the
lands, because it violated pro
visions of the grant, indicates
that the railroad will put up a
strong fight to retain possession
on the assertion that the gov
ernment accepted the taxes oni
the unsold portions of the tracts,
and for 40 years failed to pro-
test the patenting of the lands
in question.
The lands included In the
grant are valued at approxl-
mately $70,000,000.
The government alleged that
the company forfeited posses-
sion when it sold the lands in

and at more than $2.50 an acre,
as provided for when the grant
was made.

mund to Put It Out of Business Complaint Also Shows
the Southern Pacific Harriman, is Mixed up With it in Its
Franchise This is Exact! y What The Journal Stated
Some Days Ago, and What the Mayor so Insistently Denied.
Charging that Louis Lachmund.as
mayor of the city, and the Oregon
Electric railroad and its agents and
employes entered into a conspiracy
to annul and deprive it of its fran
chise on Front street, and that the
mayor and the agents and employes
of the Oregon Electric have openly
declared that unless the defendant
will grant to the Oregon Electric
the right to use its, the defendant's
tracks on Front street, that they
will tear up the track, the Portland,
Eugene & Eastern railroad, through
its attorneys, Kaiser, Salter &
Pogue, this afternoon filed a suit In
the circuit court asking that the
mayor and the employes of the Ore
gon Electric be restrained from in
terfering with the use of its tracks
on Front street until its rights with
relation to them can be determined.
Judge Galloway, after an examina
tion of the complaint, granted a
temporary restraining order, and It
was served on the defendants by the
sheriff this afternoon.
Rattle on In Full.
The suit as predicted In the Jour
nal several days ago marks hut the
beginning of a battle to be waged
between competing railroad lines for
invading the valley and for fran
chises in the city. The prediction
was made that back of the move
ment to have declared forfeited the
franchise of the Welch line was the
fine Italian hand of the Hill people
nnd that is just what Is alleged in
the complaint. It was also asserted
that the Welch line had entered into
a traffic arrangement with the
Southern Pacific on Front street,
and this is admitted In the com
plaint filed, and It bears out the as
sertion that the real battle Is be
tween the two railroad giants, the
Southern Pacific and the Hill lines.
Grunted on One Condition.
After alleging that the council
granted the Portland & Eugene &
Eastern Railroad comuany a fran
chise on Front street from Center to
Ferry in 1910, It is alleged thnt It
was granted on but one condition,
and that was that the company
should have In operation In the city
over two miles of line, and this con
dttlon It Is alleged the company has
fulfilled. It Is contended that the
laying of track in advance of pave
ment, or the repair of tracks, are
not conditions of the franchise, as It
contains a clause that should the
company fall to do this, the city
shall do it and charge it up to the
companv.

purchased an interest in the track
and agreed that It should be used by
the Southern Pacific. Since then the
Oregon Electric was granted a fran
chise on the same street and on the
same ground as one of the tracks
owned by the Portland, Eugene &
Eastern on Front street, It Is al
leged. It is further alleged that the
Portland, Eugene & Eastern asked
the council for turnouts and switches
for its tracks but that the council
refused to grant the request. The
investment of the company in the
city is alleged to be $70,000.
Influenced Council.
For the purpose of contriving how
they could wrong .and injure the
plaintiff and deprive it of vested
rights, and from using its present
track on Front Btreet, Mayor Lach
mund and the Oregon Electric and
Its agents and employees then en
tered into a conspiracy to wrongful
ly Influence and persuade the coun
cil to annul the franchise of the
company, It Is alleged, and did so
prevail upon the council to declare
the franchise forfeited and to insti
tute a Bult for that purpose In the
circuit court.
It is further alleged that the may
or and the agents of and employees
of the Oregon Electric have openly
declared that unlesB the plaintiff
will grant the Oregon Electric the
right to use Its track on Front street
that they will tear up the track, and
with a view of restraining them
from in any way Interfering with
the track, a restraining order Is
prayed for, and as has been said,
was granted by Judge Galloway.
As the situation now stimds, the
Portland, Eugene & Eastern is re
strained in a suit brought by the
city from laying Its track, and the
city of Salem, and its mayor and the
agents and employes of the Oregon
Electric restrained from In any way
