"There is absolutely no grounds for

today about the reported discrepancy
in the accounts of Mr. Allen, who was

Mr. Drager said further: j
"The books Bhow no tampering

Drager would make no definite
stntomcnt regarding to how much tho
clerical errors might amount.
Culver Is Positive.
S'jinley Z. Culver, who was County
Clerk Allen's first dephty and whom
Governor West yesterday appointed
county clerk to fill out the few days
of Mr, Allen's unexpired term, made
the positive statement that there are

sometimes present at these affairs, it
is considered only nntnral that he ,
should have remembered his force on

Another argument that Is advanced
to dispose of the suicide theory Is that
It would be almost an impossibility
for a person who could swim In the
least degree to commit Bulclde by
plunging Into a narrow pool of water
without any weight on his body. The
suicide would necessarily have to be
"by sheer desperation sufficient to
cause the person continually to force

Also he Is not sure that yesterday was
the first time Mr. Allen hod used the
swimming pool.
"It was the first time that we had
discovered he had used tho pool In
the morning," said Mr. Compton. "He
may have used It on many previous
occasions. We probably would never

A meeting of the Marlon County Bar
association was held lu tho court

tne legnl men ot tll0 couniy decided to

relative to various sections ot tho
C0(P-
Attorney John A. Carson suggested
that the association take steps to
frame a bill for the purpose of reduc
ing tho time now granted In which to
perfect an appeal. In civil cases, the
present law provides that parties may
have six months in which to carry a
ciibo to a higher tribunal. Attorney
Camon contended that this time was
mllch too long, and recommended that
clal district and an insufficient num-
ber of circuit judges was then brought
up for discussion, Attorney Carson
argued that the district should be dl-1
vided Into three sections, two sections
on the west side of the Willamette
river, and Linn and Marlon county
j comprising tho third. In dividing the
rilBtiict In this matter, he contended
that another judge could he appointed
on the west sldo. and thus reduce tho
pressure now delaying tho legal busi-
ness of tlio district.

there was too much work for two
judges In the five countleB, and that In
tho event a bill to relieve the conges-
tlon would be presented to the legls-
lnture, It would pass without a doubt.
District Attorney McNnry addressed
the meeting. He stated that the work in his office in the McVlckers theatre

Judges covering the district, many
cases will go untried, declared District
Attorney McNary. He said this mat
ter should be placed ln the hands ot
the legislature by all means, and rec
ommended Judge Ramsden, of Yam
hill county, and Oscar Hayter, of Dal
las, as being good men for the position
of an extra Judge for the west sldo.
Judge Webster, former county Judge
of Multnomah county, was Invited to
take part In the discussion, which he
did. Judge Webster stated that this
dUtrlct Bhould surely be represented
by another Judgo, In view of the fact
that, while the regular work was
great, both Judge Galloway and Judgo
Kolly were required to sit ly cases
which affect the entire tale. Ho de
clared that many constitutional ques
tions were passed on by these two
Judges, and, In fact, they were Judges
for evory county In the stato, when
constitutional matters wore brought
up.
Attorney McNary recommended that
the salaries of the circuit Judges be
raised to $4000 a year. This recom
mendation was considered fnvorably
by the attorneys and the legislature
will be asked to pass on a bill to tho
effort.

Arkansas

Washington, Jan. 3. O'.it of respect
to tho memory of t'nlted States Sen
ator Jefferson Davis, of Arkansas, who
died suddenly nt his homo in Little

ate adjourned today Iinm.edlr.toly after
convening. This action prevented the

merce court, charged with misconduct
In olllce.
Senator Davis was undoubtedly the
most picturesque flguro In the senate.
He was elected a member In 1907 and
made himself known from tho llrst
day. Smashing all precedents,
throughout his membership, ho roast
ed tho "criminal rich" and Ignored all
efforts of his colleagues to Bnub him.
Davis' most recent exploit was the
Introduction of a resolution removing
tariff duties from "Now England's sa
cred codfish." In support of his reso
lution ho poked fun at Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts. . '
Davis boasted that ho had never
used on automobile and would never
pay to ride In one. He had the big
gest voice and tho mast lurid vocabu
lary ot any member of tho senate,
Davis' pet hobbles were the south, the
negro question, trusts and tho crimin
al rich.
In 1908, whon Senntors Gore, La
Folletto ond Stone conducted a filibus
ter against the Aldrlch currency bill,
Davis wired from Arkansas ub fol
lows: "Hold the fort. I am coming."
Ho nrrlved too late, however, to bo
of assistance.

In compliance with nn opinion ren
dered last night by City Attorney llol
lin K Page, in which it Is held that
the mayor-elect ot the city of Salem
Bhould take up the duties of the office
on the first day of the year, Louis
Lachmund today announced that the
trials and tribulations of being chief
executive of this city woro over, and
that tho reins are now In the hanilB
of others beside himself
Consequently, Mayor-elect Stoeves
Is now, and has been since January
1st, the legal head of tho city's ad
ministration, and It will now bo his
duty1 to preside nt the next meeting of
the council, and at the same time af
fix his signature on the approval of
the bonds furnished by eight Salem
saloon men for licenses, passed upon
and granted by the council recently.
This Is nn apparent settlement of
the difficulty ln which the saloon men
of this city and the city council aro

Even had Mayor Lachmund signed the
licenses after the first of the year
they would have been Illegal, accord

favor of holding up the licenses grant
ed to the eight saloon men, and Inti
mated that ho would approve tho
bonds, and Issue the licenses upon :
taking up tho duties of the office.
Thnt further conflict will result Is
not. probable under these circum
stances, as It only requires the signa
ture of tho new mayor to eliminate all j
prospects for a chnrgo of the violation I
of tho laws by the saloon men, either
technical or criminal,

! ,'Chlef of Police Shedeck makes

he will not enforce the law until a

that where tho law Is being violated,

don't think It would be necessary for
the chief to first, secure a complaint

not a particle of dlffereneo as to tho
manner In which tho law Is violated.
As long as they are violated tho duty
of tho chief Is to enforce them. What

Chicago, Jan. 3. Release on bonds

week ln Indianapolis on conspiracy to
Illegally transport dynamite from the
federal prison nt Leavenworth, Kan.,
v-as ordered here today by Justices
Baker, Seaman and Kohlsaat, sitting
as tho United States circuit court of
appeals.
The court granted a writ of super
sedeas applied for by attorneys for
tho conviad men after a long battle
ln which tho attempt to free them was
bitterly opposed by United StnteB At
torney Charles Miller, who declared
that, If freed from lioavenworth, tho
union men would fleo the country and
could never be extradited back.
The court ordered, desplto Mlller'a
objections thnt a writ of supersedeas
Issue and that tho convicted men be
released immediately on the presenta
tion of the bonds required.
The government asked bonds for
President Ryan of the Ironworkers, of
$70,000 or $10,000 for each year of his
sentence. The bonds OBked for each
man sentenced to six years will be
$00,000 with the same ratio extending
throughout the entire list of convicted
men down to the ono-year men at
$10,000 each.
Besides the 30 days granted by law,
the court also allowed the oonvlcted
men another 30 days for the prepara
tion of their cases for appeal.
JuBllce Baker said this would not
prevent tho appeal coming up for
hearing at tho April term ot the
court of appeals hero. The bands
must be given h Judgo Anderson's
court.
In reading the dec Ion of the court,
JurIIco Baker snld there might be
substantial error In the trial, so the
convictions would not stand. He said
I tho court would admonish the gov
ernment ln cases where application
had been made for a writ of error and
supesendas not to ask for an Immedi
ate execution of a sentence, but to nl
low tho defendants time to mako such
; application beforo their commitment
I to prison.
After the court's decision, the at
torneys for the Ironworkers and tho
government argued long nnd bitterly
ns to who should be tho correct per
sons to approve tho bonds. It was
finally decided that the question
should bo presented to Judgo Ander
son, and thnt Attorney-General Miller
must approve the bonds on behalf of

Miller Bald that the defendants
would be required to offer the bonds
of private Individuals, for which real
