Mrs. Lynch Kicks.
Hing to the chief of police, Po

affair. He declared this morning that
the officers of the girl's training school
requested him to accommodate them by
holding the girls in jail until the Port
land juvenile officer could arrive ana
take charge of them. Ho says that it
iB merely a favor done to the state in

Matron Lynch anil the councilman from
the Fifth ward. Chief Shedeck further
stated that when he took in other es
capes from the training schools hereto-1
fore, Mrs. Lynch remonstrated and at
tempted to kick up a fuss.
Constable Coooer's Opinion.
"I don't think the city should be
made to keep runaway girls from the
training school in jail here," said Con
stable Cooper, the arresting officer. "
do not know anything about the row
between the city officials, but I do
know that I arrested tho girls last Sat
urday and took them back to the school
in North Salem and turned them over
to the matron of that institution, They
are state charges and, In view of the
fact the school was near, I concluded
that it was the proper thing to return
them to the place from whore they es
caped. ' '
According to Constable Cooper, the
girls escaped by the way of a bathroom
in the training Bchool. They asked for
the privilege of taking a shower bath
and went to the bathroom fully dressed
but their clothing was covered with ki
monas. After they had been gone for
an unusually long timo, guards went in
search of them and found the pair miss
ing and their kimonas lying on the
bathroom floor.
Keep Things Quiet.
Very little can be loarned of tho two
girls for the reason both tho polico and
the officials of tho training school re
fuse to talk. It is believed that one
of the girls goes by the name of Blanch
Foy, while the other is called Kthol
something. The training school author
ities called for tho girls this morning
and returned them to the institution.
Takes Motorcycle Belonging to Visitor
and Deserts It After Injury Is
Inflicted.
A queer atunt is being pulled off in
this city by an unknown young man,
who, it appears, has a mania for riding
motorcycles. His latest operations
were reported to the police yesterday.
Stanley Brown, a young lad from Ly
ons, Ore., arrived here yesterday, and,
while he was in the act of setting his
motorcycle up, preparatory to entering
the White House restaurant for some
thing to eat, a young man rode up on
a bicycle and asked Brown if he didn 't
want to sell his machine. Brown Baid
he did not, and, after walking into the
restaurant, he heard his machine
sounding, and, rushing out, observed
the boy Btreaking down Liberty street
north.
Thinking the boy would return Boon
from a short ride around the block,
Brown ate his dinner, and still his ma
chine was gone.' With big tears in his
eyes he notified the police, and a
Bearch was made. They found the gas
wheel shortly near the place where the
boy had taken it, and the gasoline
tank was empty, the two cranks badly
battered up and a mud guard injured.
In the meantime the police took charge
of the bicycle the boy had ridden up
to the motorcycle on, and will hold it
until the lad returns for it.
Not over a week ago, the same boy
unceremoniously took a motorcycle
which was standing In front of a local
store, and rode it off. The police
found it a few hours later, and this
machine also bore signs of hard riding,
and the tank contained no gasoline.
Whether theboy is a spood fiend with
out money to buy himself a machine,
the police are nnab'e to say, but he ev
idently loves to joy Tide, as Mr.
Brown's machine is the second which
he has stolen and later returned.

TO GET AUTO KILLERS
SHALL BE PERMITTED
If Remonstrance Fails, Mill
Street People Will Take
Other Action.
NO PAVING IN DEEP MUD
Petition Expresses Sentiment of Bee
identa and Courts Will Be Invoked
If Necessary.
Profiting by the experience of Salem
property owners who haTo had their
pavement laid in the mud or were oth
erwise worsted, Mill Btreet taxpayers
are today ready to check any movement
that may be made by the city of Salem
to pave that thoroughfare this fall.
Mill street proporty owners have sev
eral reasons why they want the paving
work put over until spring. They know
that, under, the most favorable circum
stances, property owners have been
given veryprdinary sort of paving by
contractors and they want the work
done duriug the dry season. Even if
I the contractor did not lay the paving
this fall, he would tear up the street
and make traffic impossible. Probably
he would be in too big a hurry about
laying the pavement it is feared and
would make a not unusual botch of it.
A remonstrance signed by tho prop
erty owners aud presented to tho coun
cil a week ago does not include enough
names to tie up the job, but a protest
filod a week before, which practically
was a remonstrance, according to prop
erty owners, will prove effective.' The
first protest has 2592 of about 330Q
1 lineal feet included in the improve
I ment. Thib protest told of the dissatis
faction of property ownors in the plan
for a 30-foot street, iustead of one 42
feet wido. The remonstrance was hur
riedly prepared, only a day being left
to do the work.
Another Question Involved
Macadam paving at the intersection
of Winter street is in a deplorable con
dition aud it will bo nocosHary to pave
through on Mill to give that stroot
anything like a good job. Winter
Btreet people cannot Do assossod for the
Feared Gang Working as Scale Seaters
in Washington Hay Invade This
Bute Also.
F. 0. Buchtel, deputy sealer of
weights, has issued a warning to all
merchants and dealers using scales not
to permit anyone to test or correct
their scales unless the person shows his
authority from the state sealer, State
Treasurer Kay, to do so. He also warns
them against paying any charge for
such work, as under the Oregon law no
charge is permitted. In Washington,
which has a law similar to ours there
is a gang of grafters pretending to be
deputy sealers of weights, and they
have been charging dealers exorbitant
foes for protending to correct their
scales. This warning is Issued as the
gang is liable to extend its operations
to this state, as it has cleaned up a nice
little sum in our neighboring state.
Anyone authorized to seal and correct
scales in this state will have his auth
ority from the head offiee with him,
and Mr. Buchtel urges all dealors to
make anyone asking to correct their
scales show this authority, and to pay
no fees therefor undor any circumstances.
job, as they are immune for 10 years.
Mill street people object to paying for
the repair of the botched Winter
street job.
Further the property owners do pot
propose to have bridges narrower than
the stroet. They figure that Mill street
is to be a business thoroughfare and
Bhould be well constructed. ,
In the contract for the work no pro
vision has been made for a letainlng
wall at the creek and high water would
wipe out half a block or so of paving.
A delay until spring would give the
city an opportunity to make a t'H be-
' tweon Church and Winter street. It is
I hardly believed that an attempt will
(be made to pave the street this flail
and winter, in the face of the protest
'of the proporty owners. If necossary,
it is stated that the mnttor will be
taken into the courts.

Probable That It Will Not Be Reached Before Midnight on
Account of Delay in Passing on Various' Amendments
Nebraskan Urges an Inheritance Tax Effectively Applied
Will Break Up Huge Aggreg ations of Capital Clapp, of

Washington, Sept. 8. It is doubtful
f voting on the various amendments to
the tarii'f bill will be finished in time
for a vote on the bill before midnight.
Curing the' day the senate discussed
the fundamental rieht of wealthy men
to pile up their millions. Senator Nor-
ris or Nebraska said that an inherit
ance tax effectively applied would
break up those huge aggregation of
or. capitnl and strongly unzod his
amendment to the tariff bill providing
for such a tax on all bequests. Ilia plan
providos for taxing inheritances up to
$50,000 one per cent, with gradual in
creases until inheritances above (50,
000,000 will pay the public 75 per cent.
"This," said Sonator Norris. "would
not take from anyone a single dollar
he had any part in creating. In every
instance, so far as I have observed.
whore persons have inherited a million
dollars or more they have never raised
a finger toward useful work with their
accumulated wealth."
Senator Norris then reviewed the
progress of the Astor fortune.
"The trouble with this Inheritance
tax," said Senator Clapp of Minnesota.
"is that it tends to reconcile the peo
ple with the system of allowing one
man to live in idleness and luxury
upon the toil of millions of his fallow
men."
Clapp bitterly denounced Andrew
Carnegie, expressing "hope for the day
when, iustoad of the people waiting for
the crumbs from Carnegie's heaped up
banquet board, there will be but one
great banquet board, around which will
sit all in free and just enjoyment of
what all have earned."
Senator Norris asserted that his
amendment would have given the pub
lic 44,000,00O of the $94,000,000 inher
ited by Vincent Astor from his father.

WITH SEX INSISTS
Some time ago, in publishing a state
ment of Attorney Bingham 's as to sew
ers and the bond issue therefor, the
reporter got his wires crossed and
mnde Mr. Bingham say just what ho
did not. According to the statement
alluded to, he said that tho properly
owners built and paid for the first
sowers, that tho cost was assessed to
the abutting property. As a matter of
fact, Mr. Bingham said that the siw
ers were built and paid for by th.i city
at large. We make this correction to
put ourselves right, and Injustice to
Mr. Bingham. To make sure that we
had his statement right this time, we
had a talk with him, and hence gho
this publicity. He, however, stands by
the statement as made by him In the
article alluded to, and Is a firm believ
er In the principle of making all sew
er construction a tax on the abutting
property. His main contention in this
is, that sewers, more than any other
property, are a proper tax against the
property owners for the reason that
they are more In the nature of a pri
vate property than are streets or tide
walks, being used by only that portion
of the city through which they run,
whilo the streets and sidewalks are
used by all, He also contends that a
big city bonded indebtedness, with
consequent high taxes are a great
stumbling block to getting factories
here, and also thi they tend to drive
away those who would otherwise make
the city thoir homes.
In this connection we note the morn
ing paper, In an effort to put this
paper in tho position of opposing the
bonds, which it has not done, calls at
tention to the statement made in it
that no legal opinion had been handed
down by the attorney-general, as to
the rather complicated registration
laws, and says it cannot see why that
statement was made. However, this is
not the only thing that is invisible t
our contemporary. For Its enlighten'
ment, we will say that, while Attor
ney-General Crawford was at Coos Bay
.we railed at his offiee to learn If any
opinion had been handed down by him
in the matter, and was informed that,
to far at known, there had been none,
unless a verbal opinion, and If there
was anything of that kind, It was not
known la the offiee. The Capital
Journal called attention to the mud
dled condition of tho registration law
as a matter of caution, and to have
the mattor straightened out, so that if
the bonds earrl.'d there would be no
legal quibble over them. According to
the morning paper, County Clerk
Oehlhar had this written opinion, un
der dale of August 12. If so, ho could
mmv easily have mado this stnUmeii:
in either of the i."'pnMTH f the city,
anif settled that portion of the mat
ter. Why he did not, ho alone knows.
However, notwithstanding the attorney-general's
opinion, there aro still
many who think tho legality of the
registration is an open question. The
Capital Journal lias had, and has now
no other object In calling attention to
the matter so thnt whatever the result
of the election, it would be final, and
that If tho bonds carry there will not
he another disgraceful fiasco In putting
them on the market. It it sincerely
hoped that the registration It all
right, and that no question can be
raited at to the legllity of the election.
We are not questioning Attorney-General
Crawford's opinion, but, as we
have said, a great many do, and among
them quite a number of lawyr
