DRY FORCES WIN ALL POINTS RAISED IN THE ELECTION 8UIT BROUGHT SWEEPING VICTORY FOR PROHIS Suprsms Justices Hold the People Had Right to Vots Upon Issue at Last November and Saloons Beaten SALEM. Ore.. Feb. 3 All the local option and liquor cases appealed to the aupreme court were decided today In favor of the "drys." Tbla places in the dry column the cities of Salem, Oregon City, Stayton, Springfield. Hlllsboro and Gresbam. The victories for the "drys" are sweeping In their scope, as every point of contention Is decided In their fa vor. Even the point raised In one of the Salem caaes wherein the liquor In terests contended that a city could not oust the saloons by means of vot ing dry charter amendment, but must rely entirely on the local option law. Is decided In favor of the "drys." All of the opinions were written by Justice Eakin. and Justice Burnett wrote a dissenting opinion which ap plies to all but the Salem city charter case. The opinions affirm the deci sions of the circuit courts In Wash ington, Clackamas, Multnomah and Lane counties, and reverse the deci sions of Judge Galloway In Marion county. Many Pointa Involved. Aa practically all the points In volved were involved In the Hlllsboro case. Judge, Eakin used it In setting forth the opinion of the majority of the court at length. The chief contentions of the liquor Interests were that the petitions call ing for local option elections were not valid, as they bore namea of persons registered under the 1913 law, which was later declared to be unconstitu tional; that the orders of the county courts calling the elections were In valid; that the election was not held upon the day appointed by law, their contention being that local option election can be held only on the day of a regular general state election, or when the regular city election comes on tha first Tuesday after the first Monday In November.

T. . Sullivan, president of the Pacific Highway association for Clack amas Multnomah and Marion counties presided at the meeting and C. P.

He declared that be op posed bonding for any purpose and would build trunk sewers and make similar Improvements by direct taxa tion. Good road talks were made by Jesse Hazell, E. P. Hodson, E. D.

After months of quiet investigation, the De partment of Justice has concluded that it has sufficient grounds for suit to dissolve, under the Sherman anti-trust act the American Smelting A Refining company, the so-called smelter trust. It is probable that suit will not be filed Immediately, but It la understood that the preparations have gone so far that a bilV In equity Is being drawn by de partment attorneys. It became known tonight that F. W. Lehman, ex-socicitor-general of the I'nlted States, had been retained by th so-called trust, and it is possible he will confer with the attorney general before the department files suit. Mr. McReynolds said today he had no en gagement with Mr. Lehmann to dis cuss the case. 01 ANDRESEN TO HEAD BOARD TO MANAGE WORK ON PIPE LINE FOR WATER HE WOULD UNITE ALL FACTIONS Believes All Parties Interested Should Com to Understanding Before Things go Any Further In the Construction William Andresen, W. A. Long, and M. D. Lalourette will be the commis sion to handle the constructon work on the pipe line to the south fork of the Clackamas, If the people vote the bonds. This decision was reached by the city council Wednesday night after a long conference in the committee of the whole and the determination final ly to adopt the report of the special committee making this recommenda tion. Attorneys Selecttd A Boston firm of attorneys has been selected to make all of the preliminary arrangements and to determine upon the validity of the bond Issue, an ordi nance appropriating $500 to meet thla expense being Introduced. After the council had returned from the committee of the whole and made Its report, through Tooze, as chair man, the roll call vote showed Hackett and Tcmpeton against the adoption of the recommendations. The commis sion was authorized to select ita own attorney and secretary and given power to take charge of the work u the bonds are voted by the people at the polls. Should be Careful. Before the council went into the committee of the whole to consider the report. Councilman Templeton said: "This Is one of the most im portant matters before the city and I believe that we ahould be extremely careful as to the way that we handle the atuation. I think that every bit of property In the city would be placed In pawn by thia scheme for the satis faction of the bonds that would be is sued and I, for one member of the council, am adverse to letting any one have anything to do with this work who Is not a property owner and taxpayer in the city. I cannot see through stone wall, of course, but I can presume and sometimes pre sumptions go a long way. I believe that the city council should select the attorney and secretary of this com mission Instead ot giving, as this re port recommends, the power Into the hands of the men who are selected for thla place." Unite Factions. After the selection of the commis sion and the report of the committee of the whole, William Andresen, the chairman, wanted the council to ap point representatives from the council, the'water board, and the Pure Mount ain Water league to get together on the proposition for the new source of water supply. He declared that all of these factions should get together and come to an understanding In the mat ter before things went any further. Councilmen Kohler. Pickens, and Hammerlee of West Linn were pres ent at the meeting. They believe that their city wants the water from the same source that Is now suggested for Oregon City and are interested in the developments at the council meetings where the matter is discussed.

Ore., Feb. 2. (Special) The sudden death Saturday morning of Melvine Zollener, the 22 month-old adopted child of Mr. and Mrs. F. Zoll ener, waa Investigated today by State Veterinarian W. H. Lytle and the herd of cows, owned by J. C. Kauplsh, were examined and declared free from tub erculosis. The child died at 9o'clock Saturday morning probably from tubercular trouble. The foster parents were un able to determine the cause of the illness of the child and an Investiga tion was begun. For some time past the family had been using milk from the herd of cows of neighboring crtamery, and it was thought that the child probably be came 111 from drinking milk from these cows, which were thought to be tuber cular. The state veterinarian's office wss notified at Salem and Dr. Lytle came Monday morning. A complete exam ination of the cows was made and the doctor pronounced them in a healthy condition. The funeral services were held at the home of the foster parents Sunday afternoon and interment was made In Zlon cemetery. PARTY GOES TO WATER SOURCE TRIP IS MADE TO INTAKE OF PRO POSED LINE FOR THE NEW SUPPLY FALLS IN LOVE WITH SCENERY Thirst Quenched In Sparkling 8tram at Headwater of Suggested Works; Route Explained by Engineers E. P. Rands, Dr. L. A Morris and H. U Rands made a trip up the South Fork of the Clackamas river Sunday to the intake location of the proposed new water supply for Oregon City. They reported the trip a comparltlvely easy one and, aside from the Interest attached as a possible source ot the future water supply, the beauty and grandeur of the scenery along the up per Clackamas gorge would amply re pay anyone for the time and effort ot the trip, they thought The trip was taken In a leisurely manner, Mr. Rands explaining and pointing out the route of the pro posed line, giving one a much clearer idea of the project than could be gained In any other way. The party returned more enthusias tic than ever for the project. In speak ing of the trip Dr. Morria said: "The trip would be enjoyable for anyone and for grandeur and beauty the falls on the south fork equal anything I have seen In Oregon, the stream making a sheer drop of some sixty feet. By the time we had reached the falls we had accummulated a most proper thirst and proceeded to fill up on the best and coldest water In the land, fairly sparkling In its clearness and purity. And I honestly believe you could take the most radical objector to the new system in Oregon City and let him go up and drink of that water and then let him Just sit down and look at the beauty around him and meditate on the God given blessing ot a pure. , healthful mountain water supply why. its a cinch that he would come back a booster for the new system."

(Special ) John Rydman, who has lived in this city about 10 or 15 years, was killed today at Townsend, a small town near Woodburn, by a falling piling which struck him on the bead and fractured his skull.
