TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1906. 6 LIQUOH MEN GIN VERY SEVERE JOLT Oregon Constitutional Amend: ment Just Adopted Backs Up Local-Option Law. LEGISLATIVE POWER GONE City Charters Can Be Enacted and Amended by Popular Vote "Sub ject to Constitution and Crim inal Laws of Oregon." SALEM, Or., June IS, (Special). The liquor people of the state apparently suf ered a. severe blow without knowing it when the people of the state adopted the constitutional amendment which gives the people of a city the power to enact end amend their charters. The last sen tence In the amendment says that the legal voters of every city and town are hereby granted power to enact and amend their municipal charters, ''subject to the constitution and criminal laws of the state of Oregon." This last limitation Is what particular ly affects the liquor interests. For it pre vents the adoption of a city charter that will conflict with the local option law, -which Is a criminal law. Under the present system, the Legisla ture enacts city charters and It is the generally accepted view that if a city goes "dry" under the local option law, the Legislature could pass a charter bill giving the city council exclusive Juris diction of the liquor traffic, thus evad ing the effect of the "dry" vote within the city limits. Upon this theory the saloon people in Eugene are now proceed ing In the courts to prevent the enforce ment of prohibition In accordance with the "dry" vote In Lane County. They contend that the Legislature had power to enact a charter which would be su perior to the prohibition vote in the county. . However, that may have been under the old system, it Is clear that such will not be. the case hereafter, for city charters adopted by the people must be "subject to the criminal laws of the state." Therefore, if a county has gone "dry," the people cannot adopt a charter that will make a city "wet," but If a county has not gone "dry" there will be nothing to prevent the people of a city from adop ting a charter making the city "dry." for there would be no criminal law con flicting with such a charter. The anti-saloon people now have one more opportunity to strike at the liquor traffic. They can proceed uryrfr the local option law as at present, or, as soon as the Legislature has provided general laws for the enactment of city charters, they can proceed by trying to amend charters to regulate the sale of liquor.

COLEMAN DENIES ANSWER If Sunday-Closing Crusade Caused Dismissal of Willamette Univer sity Professor, Anti-Saloon Peo ple Will Take Action. SALEM, Or., June 18. (Special.) Great ly incensed over the dismissal of Pro fessor W. P. Drew from Willamette Uni versity, the Salem Ministerial Association recently appointed a committee to Investi gate the reason for the dismissal. To night the committee waited upon Presi- , ,- 1 ir yy'i 1 'f BEAD OF PROCESSION AT dent Coleman and inquired whther it Is true, as published by a local paper, that Drew was let out because of his prosecu tion of saloon men who kept open on Sunday, but a flat and determined re fusal to answer the question was the only response. The committee will report to the association and it Is expected the ministers will issue a publio protest. The retirement of Professor Drew has been the subject of much discussion in this city since the meeting of the board of trustees five days ago, and in anti saloon circles considerable feeling has been aroused. The earnestness of the Ministerial Association may be judged from the fact that the motion for the appointment of the committee carried by unanimous vote. The committee was composed of Rev. F. W. Cliffe, of the Baptist Church: Rev. Davis Errett. of the Christian Church; Rev, H. A. Deck, of the United Evangelical' Church, and Rev. W. M. Robinson, of the Presbyterian Church. The committee met President Coleman by appointment, called attention to the report, and said that they have taken the matter up, not because of any inter est in Drew, but because they feel that if he was dismissed because he compelled the saloons to observe the Sunday-closing law, his dismissal is a blow at the Minis terial Association and all other persons in sympathy with law-enforcement work. President Coleman heard the committee and then told them plainly but firmly that he would neither affirm nor deny the report. No argument or persuasion could change his position and the committee left, thoroughly warmed up to its work and ready for the next move which la promised without delay. Spasm of Reform at Salem.

C, avoiding arrest on a charge of mur- " 1 -aw der. A posse of provincial police is now endeavoring to capture him. All the In dians and many of the white men are afraid' of Hill, who is an expert rifleman, and his capture will not likely be easy. In 1892 he was sentenced to be hanged for an Indian murder. The sentence was afterwards commuted to life imprison ment, but in 1896 he was pardoned, as it was declared he had pulmonary con sumption and could not live. He re covered, however, and terrorized the In dians of the northern coast until 1902, when he was arrested and charged with the murder of a white man named Hus sey, who had disappeared. The body of Hussey was never found and sufficient evidence could not be secured to make a case against Hill. Hill, or Tackum, was next arrested for having shot a white logger named Card at Toba Inlet. Card, although at first supposed to be mortally wounded, recovered, and Hill again es caped. He is a comparatively young man and considered by the provincial police to be a thorough desperate charac ter. ESTATE TO BE IiEOPOLT SCHMIDT APPOINTED ADMINISTRATOR.
