COUNTY OFFICERS VAN BRAKLE IIS T DECISION OF CIRCUIT JUDGE CAMPBELL IS AFFIRMED BY HIGH TRIBUNAL CONTEST BEGUN U 1913 IS ENDED County Health Officer Now Espects Co-operation of Physicians Falrnsss of State Beard Is Mentioned The decision of the Clackamas coun ty circuit court In d-rtrlng void the order of tho stal board of health In removing County Health Officer J. A. Van liraklt) was affirmed Thursday In an opinion wrllt-n by Justice Ilean. of the sta'o supremo court. The court held that tho state board of health Is not authorized by statuto to remove county health officer because OR. J. A. VaN BRAKLE County Health Officer, who has been sustained by state's highest court. he Is InellRiblc to hold the office. Complaints had' ben made to the state board of health against Dr. Vna Prakle. Among other things It wns charged that he had not correctly di ngnoperi a number of diseases, and thnt In several instances he had failed to quarantine for contagious diseases. Aft er considering tho complaints, the state board decided that he was not at the time of his appointment ns county health officer of Clackamas county qualified under the lows of the state, sustained the charges, and or dered him removed from office. Court Ruling Quoted. Discussing the case the supreme court says: "From nn examination of the pro ceedings before the state board of health it is clear that the reason for the dismissal of plaintiff was that it was deemed by the board thnt he was not eligible to hold the office. The plaintiff wns not removed for any of the causes specified In section 4C95 L. O. L. Tho board of health Is not au thorlzed by statute to remove a county health officer for the reason that he Is ineligible to hold thnt office. If Van Crnkle was unlawfully holding an of fice In a question as held by the state board of health, a complete remedy Is provided by virtue of section 3G61 L. O.

He will continue to reside here, at least for the present With no substantial change In the mill management It Is expected here that no material shifting will be made In the local plants. E. Kenneth Stan ton will continue as mill secretary and it Is generally understood that all other positions will remain the same. The paper machines will open Slon- day and run for an Indefinite period on a slx-dny-o-week basis after a shut- down of 10 days. It Is not probable that the plants will go back to the - flve-day-a-week plan which has been followed during the late fall and win ter months. While the paper machines have been Inactive, they have been thoroughly overhauled, some of them for the first iiuid since they were installed. Three hundred and fifty men will go back to work with the beginning of operation. TO E JACK ALBRIGHT ELECTED PRES IDENT OF UNION NEXT MEETING JAN. 16.

JURY IS CUI OKLY 35 MINUTES Conviction Secured Through TsstU mony of M. F. McCowan and H. W. Streiblg. Deputies Who Joined Club Before Raid. Willie Wilbur, steward of tha Frl ara club, and Julius Wilbur, secretary of tho resort, were convlcttd In tho circuit court Monday on a charge of selling liquor to M. T. McCowan at 3 o'clock on the morning of Sunday, September 13, 1914. The Jury was out 35 minutes. The conviction was secured largely through tho teatlmony-of H. W. Strei blg and M. F. McCowan, the two dep. uty sheriffs who Joined tha club and wore drinking liquor when Sheriff Maas and his force of deputies raided the place. Other deputies wero Intro duced as witnesses to affirm the evl dence of McCowan and Streiblg. The eventa of tho night preceding the raid and the morning tho raid was made were described In di-tnll by the two deputies. They were sent to Port land by Sheriff Mass and visited grills on upper Alder street until midnight and no more Honor was served. Thim the two went to an automobile driver and asked him If there was any place In or near Portland where they could secure a drink and the driver la said to have suggested the Fralrs' club. The two deputies, playing the part of drunks, ordered the automobile driver to take them to the Friar's club. On the stand, the deputies said that there was no trouble in joining the club upon the payment of SI. "Go In side and have a good time" wns the command of Julius Wilbur, according to their testimony. McCowan and Streiblg, still assum ing a drunken air, went across the dance hall to a table on the aide and orderd beer, they claim. A number of glasses wero served to each. Sher iff Mass, according to the schedule he had arranged, arrived at tho club a few minutes before 3 o'clock and ar rested 35 men and women In the place as witnesses. All tho details of tho raid were brought out although no per son taken at thnt time appeared Mon day. District Attorney Hedges denounced the place In strong terms In his ap peal to the Jury, and declared that the resort drew an undesirable class from Portland. The attorneys for the defense In troduced a number of character wit nesses In an effort to prove thnt the Frlnr'B club Is a respectable place. jjobert Brown, a market proprietor In Mltwaukle; George W. Ralston; John R Kelso Justice of the peace; and the two defendants were on tha stand. The case Monday was the first of three. Today Julius Wilbur and Frank Moore will be tried on the same charge and Wednesday, Julius Wilbur and Joe Harris. Sentence will be pronounced Thursdny morning. Thirty days was given Monday for time to file notice of appeal. FORMIDABLE SUNK BY TORPEDO IS BELIEF LONDON, Jan. 2. That the battle ship Formidable, which was Bunk In the English channel Friday, was tor pedoed, was considered certain here today. This was not an official opin ion, but It was the judgment of com petent naval authorities. The admiralty was withholding de tails of the diseaster. It was coming In for more sharp criticism, too, the popular view being that German sub marines have made a much better showing In the present war than have Great Britain's. Latest accounts were that 151 of the Formidable's crew had been accounted for as saved. Some hopes wero still entertained that fishermen had made a few more rescues, but they were not very strong. Assuming the Burvlvors to have numbered 151, the deaths must have totaled 559, taking as a basis the admiralty's figures, which, however, were only approximate, concerning the number of men on board the lost ves sel. interest of the device. Mr. Sheahan has been engaged In the paper mak ing business for some time. Previous to his employment here, he was at Camas, Wash., in the Crown-Columbia plant. Mr. Olmsted has .been chemical en-. gineer here for the last your years and has lived In Oregon City that time. It Is reported that Mr. Olmsted will open a laboratory although he refused to confirm this rumor.
