THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, .THURSDAY, JAXXJA.RT 9, 1908. 3 SHALL KENTUCKY ENDUHE-AWARGHY? Governor Makes Stirring Ap peal to End War in the , Tobacco Trade. DRIVING OUT POPULATION Wlllson Recommends Compulsory Change of Venue and Inquiry . Into Causes- of the War I'ni form I.oeal Option Law. FRANKFORT, Ky Jan. 8. The first message of Governor A. E. Willson to the Genera Assembly, read today, is devoted largely to a tirring recital of the lawlessness that has developed in the tobacco war, accompanied by vigor ous denunciation of the malefactors, and two specific recommendations hav ing for their object the -breaking up of the trouble. In recounting these vari ous outrages the Governor sums up as follows: In the meantime not a benefit has resulted to the oppressed farmers from those acts of violence and Intimidation. Even those who were members of the association have their property tied up. and liberty. In places threat ened by these bands, i an Idle theory and farce. Factories and warehouses which the farmers warmly welcomed have been burned and many others ielosed forever. Terrible Result of Anarchy. Our tobacco market is nearly destroyed. Larie customers are being taught that it Is safer and better to buy elsewhere; large crops lemaln unsold; managers, who have been prom Is d large prices for their pool crops above the market price have seen buyers driven from the field, and no one can tell when the end will come. Everyone can sell that the resulls up to this time are that our markets not only for tobacco, but for other ' products, are paralyzed, and in man- case ruined: that in large districts the law has been whoily overthrown and the poor people who have no one to take care of them-are deprived of the protection of the laws and have lost their liberty and are helpless; that the price of pearly every acre of good land In Kentucky has gone down; that, thousands of people wish to move out of Kentucky to states where1 they hope that It Is safer to live end that the very flower . of our working population wishes to leave the state. s thousands have done before; that It lias been ncceaeary In order to allay the fears of frljrhtened people, even In a large city like Hopklnsvllle, to keep a company uf military on duty, at great ex pense, and with great hardship to the young men. who are taken from their ordinary busi ness and work; tha. lawless and unprincipled men have been constantly ready to break out In Btveral counties, unrestrained by law or public sentiment, and that the people of Ken tucky have suddenly and squarely to face the question whether the law of more than two millions or the violence of a few hundreds shall provn.il." , . Beticr Lose Land Than Liberty. Thete can be no doubt of the final result. Our pople desire the full protection of the law and love their liberty and .feel they had hetter lose not only part of. their valuable to bacco, but even their farms, rather than lose thrli- liberties. , The only question left' is whether this shall be soon or long delayed; whether 1t shall be at bncc. to prevent further injury, or whether, continuing for months. It shall practically de stroy the business and property value of the wholepeoplc and diminish our population by removals to olhr states. The executive will- faithfully uphold the law. hut It Is the people's law, and Its strength is in their Kltnnnrt nt thplr .u-n la n-a. Remedies He 0oses. The message then makes specific recommendations for amending the statutes governing change of venue, so that the granting of surh change become imperative upon any Judge where lawlessness or Intimidation hin ders prompt and fair trials, and ap pointment of a committee with full power to Investigate the economic causes leading up to the tobacco trou bles, that Is to ascertain whether there lias actually been an overproduction or whether the prices have been forced down by a trust or combination of buyers. . On temperance, the Governor reoom- mends a uniform local option law with the oounty as the uiite.: also important chan-ares In the. laws governing regis tration ami elections and compulsory publicity of campaign contributions.

TWO FRANCHISES REVOKED Council Proceeds Againt Market Corporation Power Company. ' Franchises held by the People's Mar ket Company and the Cascade Power Company were revoked by the City Council at Its session , yesterday after noon. The holders of each franchise were declared by members of the Council to have failed in the fulfillment of the provisions of their grants. Councilman Belding Introduced 'the ordinance revoking the franchise of the People's Market, and Councilman Vaughn took similar initiative relative to the Cascade Power Company. In 1903 the Council granted a fran chise to the Union Market Company to establish a public market on the block bounded by Second and Third and Clay and Market streets. They or their suc cessors or assigns were to construct a $30,000 brick building for the exclu sive use of the market. Councilman Belding called, up the matter at yester day's Council meeting, and declared that none of the provision of the fran chise had been complied with, and in troduced an ordinance revoking the 'franchise. Mayor Lane has repeatedly ralled'the attention of the Council to the viola tions of the franchise held by the Peo pled Market Company, which succeeded the Union Market- Company, and asked for the revocation of the franchise. More than one year ago he directed the attention of the Council to the matter. It is said that the building, which Is used a the market, is being utilized for all kinds of business, and that it Is also in an unsanitary" condition. - The Cascade Power Company never did anything toward the enterprise sought to" be undertaken bv its pro moter beyond furnishing a bond of 1000. which will be returned to the Company. It purposed to -construct a large plant in Portland for the genera tion of electric power. It was to have begun the construction of the pro-, jected plant within -on'e year from the granting of. the franchise, but did noth ing. . . Backs Round-World Auto Race. NEW YORK. Jan. 8.

ROSS BANK IS UPHELD Circuit Judge Cleland Holds That Plaintiff Is Not Entitled to Re deem From Sale Under Mortgage. ' The demurrer 'interposed by J. Thorburn Ross, the Title Guarantee & Trust Com pany, and the United States Mortgage & Trust Company to the complaint in the suit brought by P.' A. Marquam to re deem the Marquam building from sale under mortgage foreclosure was sustained by Judge Cleland' in - the Circuit Court yesterday morning, thereby ending the suit. The ruling of the court 'was that Marquam had not stated facts sufficient to constitute a cause for action against Ross and the trust company. -Litigation over, the Marquam building has been In progress for four years, a suit similar to that dismissed yesterday having been filed in the State Circuit Court by' Marquam. In the first suit, as in the others which have been filed, he sought to redeem the property from the J300.000 mortgage held by the United States Mortgage Trust Company. The money advanced to Marquam when the mortgage was made by him in favor of the United States company was advanced by the Title Bank with Ross as president. Professor Herman V. Htlprecb, tailed ipon to Defend His Integ rity as a Scholar. Professor ' Herman V. Hilprecht, who has been called upon by the Council of' the Society of Biblical Literature and Exegesis to make a complete public reply to charges af fecting 'his integrity In oriental scholarship," is at the head of the Assyriologicai section of the Univers ity of Pennsylvania. He supervised excavations made by an expedition -from the University .of Pennsylvania at Babylon and Nippur. Much ma terial from the ruins uncovered by him has been brought to the United States, and Professor Hilprecht has derived from it alleged discoveries that are considered startling by scholars. The charges are made by Rev. John p. peters, of New York. who as security for the money entered into an agreement with the United States Company whereby it could lay claim to the Marquam building in case the mort gage were foreclosed. In the first suit for the privilege of re deeming. Marquam won in the State Cir cuit Court. The United States Company, the Title Company, and Ross then ap pealed to the State Supreme Court, and the decision of the lower court was re versed. Although the case was carried to the Supreme Court twice when the mortgage was first foreclosed, and twice on the first suit. Attorney Watson, rep resenting Marquam. declares It will again be taken to the higher court, lbs was granted 30 days to prepare an amended complaint. Attorney Wallace MeCamant for the defense opposed, the granting of so much time, saying that' the condition of affairs with the Title Company rendered a speedy realization on all Its securities imperative. The United States Company, the Title Company and Ross demurred to Mar quam's complaint for the following rea sons: . First Because the Circuit Court has no Jurisdiction to entertain a suit having for its object the reversal of a Supreme Court ruling. 2. Because the record was' not suf-. ficlently pleaded in the present suit. 3. Because the present complaint, filed by Marquam, does not state facts euu numi to constitute a cause of suit. The demurrer was sustained on the first and third grounds, and overruled on the second. ... Judge Cleland construed the will of W. C. Noon to be so worded that Mrs. Noon is entitled to one-half of the JUS. 427 dividend from stock of the w. C. Noon Bag Company, holding that the will does -not restrict her dower in terest in. her husband's real estate. The suit of the. Portland . Cordage Company, involving the Tanner Creek sewer, will have to go before a JurS as Judge Cleland decided that onlv a jury can settle' the questron of whether or not the company's allegations are true or false. The company brought' suit against the city to restrain, it from collecting an assessment for the sewer work. The informations against Sam I Beary. Val Liddell and John Fisher, charging them with selling obscene postcards, are alike, except that in the LtddeM and Fisher cases there is the additional clause, "a further description Is too gross and Indecent to allege," hence .TliHo-a Clelnnil IiaI . v. n . . i. added clause saves the latter informa tions. The demurrer in the case against jsciirj- ne sustained, out overruled the other two. Judge Cleland affirmed his decision which -he announced some time.-ago. holding illegal the city bond Issues. The suit was- brought against the city 'by, Francis I. McKenna. . " CASE WTLIj GO TO TRIAL Court Overrules Demurrer of Belle Waymlre and E. E Radding. The Waymire-Iane case will come to trial in the State- Circuit Court, for Judge Cleland yesterday overruled the demurrer of the defense to the information charging conspiracy on the part of Mrs. BelleWay mire and p.

CLOTH Hi G CO CuS KuhnProp'' 166-168 THIRD STREET that the Information did not state a cause of action.. Judge Cleland .said In ren dering his decision: "In this information Is alleged an at tempt to make the Mayor appear to be guilty of an act of lewdness, to discover him in the act. and to denounce, him. This charge; in the opinion of the court, is suf ficient to show an outrage against pub lic decency. The public character of the Mayor adds nothing to the crtminality of the charge.
