WoodlaiFdlo Clairlk DECISION S DUBIOUS Effect of University Referen dum Action Not Fixed. CASE UP TO HIGH COURT If Supreme fVnch Vpliolds Judge Galloway's Opinion Enactment of legislation Will R?.nlt Which Will Purse Present Act. SAXEM. Or., Dec 24. (Special.) The effect of Judge Galloway's recent opinion in the Vniverslty of Oregon referendum casea Insofar as it con strued the effect of fraudulent peti tions and the requirements as to their proof. Is being liberally discussed here and there seema to be varying degrees of opinions as to the ultimata result of the decision on the future, of the Initiative and referendum, especially as to the referendum Itself. Should the opinion be upheld in the Supreme Court. It is believed by many that tha result of the opinion would be to have a clarifying effect on the referendum and its usages and on the means and methods of gatherlng.names for referendum petitions. That particular portion of the Gallo way opinion which places the burden of proving the validity of names upon those who are contending that names on otherwise fraudulent petitions are valid. Is taken, especially by the ene mies of tha university, to threaten revolutionary results for tha referen dum. The contention of the plaintiffs as upheld by the court that, if the burden of proving fraud in each name should be thrown upon the plaintiff, that any effort of the plaintiff to. prove such fraud would be successfully defeated by merely enlarging the fraud, is met by the declaration that on the other hand those who desire to Invalidate pe titions can do so easily, by perpetrat ing fraud in every petition and the re sult would bs an eventual lmpossihllin' to secure any valid referendum opin- '"olf course the ultimate effect of the decision must await the ttnal decision of the Supreme Court. Tet it is argued thst if the Supreme Court upholds Judge Galloway, the de cision of necessity will cause the en actment of legislation which will throw safeguards about the referendum and puree the present act of those provi sions which are so loosely constructed and so difficult of logical Interpretation as to allow wholesale fraud such as waa proved to have existed in connec tion with ths University of Oregon pe titions. " . In fact, in the opinion itself legisla tion of this nature was not only recom mended, but urged as an absolute ne cessity to the future safeguarding of the citizens against the use of the ref erendum by perpetrators of fraud and "petition peddlers." TORNOW SEARCH GOES ON Trail of Alleged Slayer Found In Snow in Wilderness. MONTESANO, Wash., Dec 24. (Spe cial.) The hunt for John To mow, wanted for the alleged murder of the two Bauer boys early last September still goes on. but with very little pros pect of his Immediate capture. Ever since the crime was committed Sheriff Payette has had deputies in the field or been out himself. Some times traces have been found only to be lost in the vast wilderness in which Tornow seems to be perfectly at home. Traces were found of him in a trail leading through the snow recently, the tracks were fol- lowed to the river' where they entered the water but no trace could be found where they came ut again. Two deputies are still in the field where, in the fastness of the Olympics, they have built a cabin and are stocked with food and prepared to keep vigil through the Winter months. There is hardly a doubt but that Tornow knows they are there and as he is one of the keenest woodsmen in the state it is possible that he is playing a waiting game. Sheriff Payette does not believe the report that Tornow is dead by his own hand " " . Ivewis Pioneer Dies. ' CHEHALIS, Wash., Dec. 24. (Spe cial.) James M.
