FRANGISJAPPfALS CASE I Not Satisfied with ..Ruling in Case Against State Printer Harris Appeal la Taken. CASE RECENTLY DECIDED BY JUDGE GALLOWAY Other Suits, Complaints and Answers ' Filed in Marion County Circuit Court. Notice of appeal to the supreme court in the case of W. C. Francis, James Archer, and F. R. Bussard, Jr., against Chris, Si' human, et aj., from the order of Judge Galloway dissolving the injunction brought by the plaintiff against Stole Printer K. A. Harris, was filed this morning in the circuit court for Marion county by the attorneys for the plaintiff. Recently Judge Wil liam Galloway sustained the demurrer of the defendants aud dissolved the temporary injunction restraining the state printer from paying the union men employed in the state printing plant. The judge started that the state printer could hire whom he pleased in the plant so long as he did not deprive any man of his legal rights. The plaintiffs appealed from that decision. In asking to have the complaint of the plaintiff in the case of Ed. and L. J. Ogle against Hellen O. Hurst dis missed, the defendant filed an answer Saturday in which she states that she is a woman 76 years old, a widow in poor health for the past four yeaa-s, and that prior to April 5, 1911, she was the owner of certain real premises in this county. She says that on account of the fact that she has been ill she was unable to attend to her business affairs that she trusted to tho man agement, of Fred P. Hurst, who is an officer of the Aurora Electric com pany. She says that on April 5, 1911, through her agent Hurst, she sold to the plaintiffs all her premises, except a 10-foot strip owned by the Aurora Electric company, for $1,300, part paid in cash and patrt in notes. She alleges that when the plaintiffs bought her land they knew and understood that the 10-foot strip was subject to "the right of the electric company to oper ate and maintain electric wires over it. She says the plaintiffs knew that the rights of the electric company were not reserved. She declares she signed the deed in ignoranco that the rights were not reserved. However, she al leges that the plaintiffs have not suf fered any injury or damage and asks that) their complaint be dismissed. In the divorce suit pending in the circuit court in which Bertha Bmnkel is plaintiff aud Jacob Brunkel is do fendntit, a reply was filed Saturday by the plaintiff denying the answer and cross complaint of the defendant hus band. In reply to charges made in the answer, she says that while away from her husband she acted wholly in accordance with her nuuriage vows. Judge Gnlloway this morning granted a decreo quieting the title to certain lands in the case of John and licssio Tsehnntz against John Wills, and Clar ence Porter, et al. The complaint was confessed by the defendants in an answer and the order stating that they had no rights in the property was made accordingly. An action for tho collection of a 1,700 promissory note given to the Farmers' Implement company on Jan uary 1, 1914, by Frank W. Hall, was begun In tho circuit court this morn ing by the Vermont Farm Machine company. It is alleged that the plain tiff purchased the note from the Farm ers' Implement company. The coin plaint states that 'no part has been paid, except $25. Two hundred dollars 1 are a-ked as reasonable attorney's fees An action for the collection of money alleged to be due for goods sold and delivered was begun this morning jn the circuit court by B. L. Sabin against A. W. and Clayton Young. The amount alleged to have been sold was ina uq nA n.,f nf which ha narfl has been paid except $681.87, which leaves $918.01 owing and unpaid. The ac count was assigned to the plaintiff who rsks juagmem. Denutv Sheriff W. I. Needham went i to Silverton today to bring Mrs. H. B. Khalstad to this city for examination las to her sanity. The complaint was sworn to by her husband. Old age is given as the cus of tho mental derangement. One marriage license was issued this Th roupl receiving the permit to wed w lV I VI VI Vlf land, and Elizabeth Lawrence, a tela- L n .. . . ... As a result of complaints coming in-: to Sheriff Escb, he took a trip east of Salem and succeeded in landing sev eral alleged chicken thieves that have been making trouble among the farm ers there. After several attempts to I catch the thieves, tho sheriff finally got a due. He was on the way to the scene of the last depredation when he met the man suspected and brought him to the city. Cross-questioning brought a confession of other robberies and an implication of two others, W. Arts and A. Tindall. Both men were arraigned and pleaded not guilty. They were released on $.30 bonds and will appear for hearing Thursday at 10 o'clock. Desertion la the charge brought against O. B. .Qopeland in the circuit court by E. B. Copeland in a suit to dissolve the marriage contract existing between them. They were married in Kansas City, Missouri, June 30, 1893. There are no children. In addition to the charge of desertion, the plaintiff charges in 1897 he started but failed to carry through a suit for divorce. TO DEVELOP STRAIN OF POTATOES FREE OF DISEASB In order to develop a pure strain of Burbank potatoes that is free from disease anjl one that will be a seed foundatign for the growing of better stock in this part of the Willamette valler, plans for the perfecting of a "Burbank Potato club" are beiug for. mulated by Luther J. Ctapin, U. S. government jtgricultnral expert station in this county. Much interest by farm ers who are in the potato-raising busi ness has been expresseo in the, move ment, and it is believed that when the club has been formed it will do much for the potalogrowing industry of Marion comity. Seod foundation stock has been se cured from W. P. Miller of Dallas, who baa developed this rtrain of Burbank potatoes for the past 12 years. In Mr. Chopin's estimation the so-called Burbank strain that is being gTown here now is badly mixed. Criticism of fered by California potato-seed buyers who formerly bought seed from the Willamette valley is that the seed grown now is so abb w and diseased and not suitable for their use. ' It is in or der to remedy this condition of affairs that the effort to develop a pure strain of potato, is to be made. . A. O. DeVoe, tho shoo dealer, and Roy Melson, of Salemj in company with Morris Welch and Charles Sweigle, are home from an auto trip to the upper waters of North Silver creek, where they spent Sunday fishine. The total- catch for the day was 287. Although tho weather was warm and pleasant in Salem, they found- it raining and snowing and very cold aud disagree able in the mountains. o L, P. Larbon, a pmlnent stock raiser of near Pratum, is a Salem vis itor otday. Mr.Labon is a breeder of fine Clydesdale horses. STATE LAND BOARD IS TALKED TO A WHISPER The state land board had a meeting this morning to listen to propositions concerning the leasing of Albert and Summer lakes in Lake county. There are several propositions made, one of which offers to pay the state 150,000 a year for 20 years for tho privilege of extracting the salts contained, in ine lakes. Still another materialized this morning when W. S. Wallace, a Meth odist minister of Torfand, made a proposition to pay the state $50,000 a year for 40 years. Ho was present, and In an unguarded moment was ask ed to explain his proposition. He had filed wita tho boora a dissertation on rocialism, co-operation and several oth er things. He quoted Gladstone, John Bright, Macauley, the Bible and some of the rather remote profane author ities to show that modern methods and the failure of representatives of the people who fell down and neglected their God-given trusts by -permitting capitalists to buy things from tho state, that the state should hang on to, would cause an ultimate ruin, and so through some 18 jages of closely-typed manu script, he" read a "mixed lecture on the duties of state officials and the sac red ness of the salts of Abert and Summer Ink es. He seemed to think the salt was nec essary to the ultimate salvation . of Oregon people, especially its officers, and as probably the only thing that would preserve them and seep mem in the straight and narrow path. But when he waa asked to speak and explain, it was like pressing the button on a double-barrelled and automatic phonograph, or Mppmff the perennial fountain of speech. Language flowed from his lips like water from a Palem hydraunt outside of irrigation hors. Kay, it jetted, and spouted, and dis played color effects that would make the" Waito fountain look like a two color, comic supplement. Secretary 01 : cott just slumped down in his cl'.nir while State Treasurer Kay pulled his i foretop, and Governor West, after vvn 1 ly trying several times to inject a quM j tion, also fell back open-mouthed and paralyzed, while Mr. Wallace erupted I langungo and statements about capital 1 its that was an overwhelming flood. Here aud there a seutencf could Sc caught as tae eloqueut and vociferous speaker inserted a new belt in his rapid-fire gun. One of these was: 're operation in the business and inar.-J, tries of the sorld would solve, and whs destined to solve all the troubles thai now plagued civilization.." As he placed another round in "his mitrail leuse, he said: "The communication I have submitted is to protest most le spectfully but most earnestly and in tho MONDAY, MAT 4, MlliTITTZSJ lMHRHHHHHBaHMMMaaaHpMaHBMHBMBBxaBi The latest styles in patent, velvet, suede and dull kid pumps.

At the same tiino, he proposed to have Calhoun and others whom he claimed were capitalists take over the lakes. The board seemed to think that if it sold the lakes it would have to be to some of. this same cap itafiatie class, but the governor asked Mr. Wallace if he had any capital or could get any, and was answered that he did not have any anil was not ab solutely sure he could get any, but ho wanted those lakes saved just the same. . Fortunately tho meeting was called this morning, and the board all got exceedingly hungry just as long before noon as possible The way that man rattled off the names of the great money kings would have made an income tax agent giddy with joy.. It did not affect the' board that way, and this afternoon, if suffi ciently recuperated, it will take up some of the other propositions. SEE-YEAB-OLD BOY " . rOTXND DEAD DKUNK Snn Francisco, Slay 4.

Just another report of a caso in Ha leni. Another typical case. Kidney ailments relieved in Salem with Doan's Kidney Tills. F. A. Sutton, tent and awning dealer, Salem, Ore., says: "I had kidney trouble and Thcumatism for ten years and sometimes I was bud up. Doctors did not help me. Sharp pains ex tended through my back and were most severe in my kidneys. Often when working I had to give up. I lost weight and was in very poor health. I had headaches, rested but little at night and didn't know what to do. On a friend's advice I tried Donn's Kidney Pills and to my surprise they brought a great improvement in a few days. I continued to get better steadily. I got more sleep, my appctito improved and the pains gradually, but surely, left me. After I had used three boxes l of Doan's Kidney Pills I was in better health than I had been for ten years and not a sign of kidney complaint re mained. The cure has beon perma nent.

Neville got off to a good start by taking the first two holes and in the morning round, Neville mrde a 73 to Davis 73.

Davis recovered this and more but Neville again evened up the match by a grand putt a.t the 17th hole. Playing i&e odd, Davis holed a fine putt for a half, leaving Neville an- 8 foot putt for a half. Neville studied the shot for a long time, and then missed it, the hole going to Davis, which gave him tho match 1 up. INSURGENTS ENCOURAGED BY CAPTURE OF KOLEONIA Athens, May 4.
