4. TITE MORNING OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY NOVEMBER 7, 1919. DRY LAW'S VALIDITY ATTACKED BY ROOT f: "False .Pretenses" by Con r gress Charged Before Court. INJUNCTION IS SOUGHT t "(Stretching of . Authority Created by Exigency or War Alleged ; in Hearing at Sew Vork. Senators Hitchcock and Underwood desired a showdown, without ap pearing to invite it. in order to be able to convince President Wilson that without accepting reservations the treaty is dead forever. Senator Lodge apprised them of this early in the afternoon's debate, when in a colloquy with " Senator Swanson of Virginia he said with reference to the administration de mand for the treaty exactly as it came from Versailles, "You can look for long delay. Put in these reserva tions and we will ratify your treaty, otherwise in my opinion it will be the delay of death." Thus the sudden and dramatic climax forecast in these dispatches only a few days ago appeared now at hand. CEMENT TRIAL M END ARGUMENTS TO JURY WILL BE MADE TODAY. NEW YORK. Nov. 6. Elihu Root V-J-argued against the constitutionality !".;! the prohibition enforcement act in the United States district court today, ".: naying that its passage was under I . false pretenses and beyond the power of congress. He was associated with William D. ' Guthrie in the suit of Jacob Ruppert. t,. who seeks an' injunction against the ., local United States attorney in order that the sale of 2.75 per cent beer i - may be resumed. Two other suits involving the constitutionality of the fact were also argued and Judge Hand 'took all under advisement. " "'On October 27 the sale of this t-fbeer was legal," said Mr. Root. "On October 29 its sale was not lawful. ; On October 28 (the date of enactment '. of the Volstead act by overriding of ;' the president's veto) congress had no y constitutional authority to prohibit " the manufacture and sale of the kind v of beer made by the Ruppert com ; pany." ,1 Right of Congress Questioned. i llr. Root argued that in passing '. the bill congress was not exercising its constitutional power to raise and .' support armies. ; "The president told the congress that the armies had been demobil ". ized," he said. "He had said over and ; over again that the actual war had ended and that it was no longer necessary to raise and support an rmy. He'said that when the armis L) tice was signed. "Xow the armistice has been exe cuted. The enemy has laid down its , arms. It has surrendered its navy j-.and sunk it, disbanded its army, given 'up its munitions. There are no coun ; I tries in the world which are so cer- :.,"tain not to wage war during our lives ;',;fL3 Germany and Austria. The terms :-.of peace have been communicated to them and accepted. These terms are r.ot being discussed now by us. We ;.are only discussing certain covenants v among the parties on one side. False rretennes Charted. "This bill was not passed in rela tion to carrying on the war. There isn't a man, woman or child in the '.United States that doesn't know it. ' The bill was passed under false pre ' tenses. "The prohibition amendment, passed ' during the war, provided one year for : the liquor business to adjust itself Now, after the real war has passeu, ""..'when no enemy threatens, congress impasses a law taking away from the ;,people the year of grace that in time !of greatest exigency the will of the people decreed. This imposes a greater duty upon the courts to scru tinize the substance of this legislation and determine whether it was honest and sincere." Mr. Guthrie argued that in vetoing ' the .Volstead act, and again in hts Thanksgiving proclamation. President Wilson had in effect proclaimed that ' demobilization had taken place. Krlcrson Makei Reply. "This country is still legally at war , with Germany," said Assistant Attorney-General William Frierson. The present period, he said, was analogous - to the year immediately following the Civil war. While history said that in effect the war ended in April. 1865, -with Lee's surrender, the courts held that from a legal standpoint it had -not ended until the president's proc lamation in August, 1866, that the insurrection had been put down. Mr. Frierson further argued that congress was not bound by the presi dent's recommendations, nor to ac cept his statement of facts. Emphasizing the necessity that the court be convinced beyond a reason able doubt before declaring the act unconstitutional, Mr. Frierson pre dicted that New York would be wide open should the plaintiff win. In a suit seeking permission to withdraw distilled spirits from bond. Attorney Levi Cook told the court that the quantity of such spirits in bond throughout the country was 60, 000.000 gallons valued at $90,000,000. Air. Guthrie said that the 2.75 beer Involved in his case was worth $1,- 000,000. Both attorneys contended legal consideration had been taken of the destruction of property values by the Volstead act. It. F. Bntchart, President of Oregon Portland Cement Company, Last Witness Called. VOTE ON TREATY NEAR MOMENT Senate Rollcall Asked, but Republicans Block Move. RESERVATIONS COME UP Vice-President Overrules Point ol Order Declaration or Policy Deemed Significant. That Aman Moore was discharged as sales manager of the Oregon Port land Cement company because com petitors did not like him was the ad mission made from the witness stand in federal court yesterday by R. P. Butchart, president of the Oregon Portland Cement company. Mr. Butchart was the last witness offered by the deterge in the govern ment prosecution against officials of the company for alleged violations of the Sherman anti-trust law. On di rect examination the testimony ex acted irom President Butchart was brief. ."Did you. at any time tell Aman Moore that your company had en tered into a trade conspiracy with California and Washington cement companies?" he was asked. i aid not, was his instant re sponse, and no further direct exam ination was sought. United States Attorney Haney, on cross-examination, induced the "wit ness to. admit that Aman Moore had been discharged as sales manager be cause competitors of the firm did not like him. He could not remember the names of the competitors who sought Moore's dismissal. Aman Moore had testified previ ously that Mr. Butchart had told him of a trade combination by which the Oregon company was not to do busi ness in Washington and California and by which the California com panies were to set the price to be 'charged for cement in Oregon. The defense yesterday recalled a number of witnesses it had used ear lier in the week for re-direct ex amination, while Wirt Minor, attor ney for the defendant company, like wise testitied that there was no com bination of the Pacific coast cement companies. The defense rested late yesterday afternoon and arguments to the jury win start this morning. The case should be in the hands of the jurors by late this afternoon.

Mrs. Kruse was a native of Germany, com- ng to America when a child. She Is survived by six children, five sons re siding in this county and one daugh ter, Mrs. M. E. Shupe of Corvallis. WASHINGTON. Nov. 6. Whether to ratify the peace treaty with Germany without amendments seemed for awhile this afternoon about to be decided by the senate. Thrown Into the thick of a dra matic parliamentary battle, a request for an immediate showdown on un qualified acceptance of the treaty got the backing of the leaders on both sides, who seemed anxious to outdo each other in pressing for a roll call But before this -stage of action was reached the move was blocked by re publican senators, who objected that it might cut off any later attempt to put reservations into the ratification. Reservations Cone Up. The senate got back to its regular order of business and, having voted down the last of the long list of pro posed amendments, began work on the reservations presented by the for eign relations committee, said to have the backing of a majority of the sen ators. When a recess was taken until tomorrow the first of the 15 commit tee proposals had not yet come to a vote. The reservationists got before the senate only after a point of order against them had been overruled by Vice-President Marshall, who declared no technicalities of the senate rules would be permitted to stand in the way of the right of the senate ma jority to frame its ratification of the treaty as it chose. The ruling, which followed an hour of bitter argument. was accepted as containing a signifi cant declaration of policy with re spect to the parliamentary tangle de veloping around the treaty. Leaders at Sea .Over Vote, Leaders were as much at sea to night as ever over- the date when a final vote might be reached, but they declared every effort would be made to hasten the reservation debate. Democratic leaders, at an evening conference, threshed out the whole situation and sought some method of bringing the long fight on the treaty to a conclusion. Meantime White House officials re vealed that plans were on foot for an early conference between Presi dent Wilson and Senator Hitchcock regarding the senate situation. It was said at the capitol tonight, however, that no such appointment yet has been made or requested by Mr. Hitch cock. The flurry over an immediate vote on the unreserved ratification came just after the senate had voted down, 67 to 16, the amendment by Senator Gore. Oklahoma, to make any declar ation of war under the league of na tions contingent on a popular refer endum. Two more amendments had been prepared by Senator Borah, Idaho, republican, but he decided to withhold them and offer them later as reservations. That cleared away the last of the amendments, and Sen ator Lodge called up the committee reservations. Lodge Challenges Vote. Immediate objection came from the administration forces. Senator Under wood, democrat, Alabama, declaring the proposals could not properly be considered until the resolution of ratification came before the senate. He was assailing the republicans for delay and charging that their methods were designed to prevent a direct vote on the question of unreserved ratification, when Senator Lodge asked: "If the senator wants to hasten action, why doesn't he ask for a vote right now on ratification without reservations?" "I'll do it," returned Senator Un derwood, and he Md. The move brought a half dozen senators to their feet and in the ma neuvering which followed the cham ber presented a scene of continuous confusion. Senator Hitchcock first got the floor to present formally a unanimous consent agreement for a vote, and although the republican managers interposed no objection, it failed to' meet the approval of some senators and a sharp debate ensued. Senator Fall, New Mexico, ob jected that the parliamentary situa tion would not permit such a vote, since the senate was acting as a committee of the whole. senator Hitchcock then modified the request to permit the session as a committee of the whole to be terminated, but Senator Lenroot, Wisconsin, asked that a provision be included to permit a later ratification vote that should include reservations. Then Senator Jones, republican, Washington, end ed the discussion by objecting di rectly to the whole arrangement. Underwood Is Overruled. Having failed to secure unanimous consent. Senator Hitchcock then made a motion to the same effect, but Sen ator Lodge called attention that his motion to take up reservations waa the pending business. After the vice president had overruled Senator Un derwood's point of order, the ressr vations at last were formally laid be fore the senate. The first paragraph of the reserva tion group, the only part considered today, recites that the reservations must be accepted by three of the other four great powers to make the treaty binding. As presented, it had been slightly modified from the original committee draft, so that the acceptance would be secured "by ex change of notes." Senator Lodge and Edge. New Jersey, spoke in sup port of the preamble and Senators McCumber, North Dakota, and Thom as. Colorado, against it. During the day two new reserva tion proposals were placed before the senate, together with several others presented by individual senators. One was by Senator Knox, proposing that the United States become only a "con sulting member" of the league, with full liberty to govern its own course in all respects, and the other by Senator Johnson, California, relating to equalization of voting power in the league. Marshall States Attitude. In his ruling against Senator Un derwood's point of order, Vice-President Marshall made an extended statement of his general attitude to ward construction of the senate rules as they relate to the treaty. "The chair is unwilling to make any sort of technical ruling that will prevent the senate from ratifying this treaty either without reservations or with any Bort of reservations that a majority chooses to put into the reso lution of ratification," he said. The democrats were in session more than three hours, but Chairman Hitch cock announced they had reached no agreement other than to invoke a senate cloture rule if it is deemed necessary to hasten action. The only resolution adopted authorized Sena tor Hitchcock to propose cloture if it is deemed advantageous. While the conference was In ees- sion senators received news of the German protocol and several ex pressed the view that It might be used by opponents as an argument for delay in American ratification. The sentiment of the conference. Senator Hitchcock stated, was that every ef fort should be made to test the sen ate sentiment on reservation's in any form which would, in the judgment of the democrats, secure the real sentiment. PARIS, Nov. 6. The supreme coun cil today discussed plans for receiving a uerraan delegation November 10 to sign the protocol guaranteeing the carrying out by Germany of portions of the armistice conditions which she has so far failed to meet. It is as sumed that Baron Von Lersner. head of the mission at Versailles, will sign the protocol for Germany. The Jugo-Slav delegation at the peace conference has addressed to the conference a note outlining the rea sons for which the Serbo-Croat-Slovene state has been unable to sign the treaty or St. Germain with Austria. Andre Radovitch. former prime min ister of Montenegro has been appoint ed as one of the plenipotentiaries del egate to the peace conference from the eeroo-croat-blovene state. gl!lllllllll!ll!I!!!l!l!!I!il!IIIl!III!Il!l!!!l!ll!!!ll!illlll!!l!!li!!iIIIlli!iiH Reduce the High Cost of Living m BY PURCHASING M" fTW?il CTAMDC 1 HERE.

The Jones objection stopped a vote just when everybody had his pencil in hand to check the result, and incl dentally brought keen disappoint ment to a lew wnose interest was merely curiosity. Senator Jones justi fied his objection later by a ruling of Vice-President Marshall who, in ruling on a point of order, held against the democratic side on the question of forcing a vote on the treaty Itself before there was oppor tunity to vote on reservations. Sen ator j ones saia mat nis position was the same, but this caused the more uncompromising of his republican colleagues to accuse him of seeking to dodge a vote on the main issue before going on record on the reser vations. sui tne treaty is getting some where now. Senator Lodge was un questionably out to move things thi afternoon and immediately after the Jones objection he forced a considera tion of the so-called Lodge reserva tions, behind which every republican except McCumber is lined up, besides four or five democrats. As to McCum ber, he is for all except the preamble. He made a long speech late today against that provision of the pream ble which exacts the approval of the reservations by at least three out of the big five. For the first time it was learned today that all of the re publicans except McCumber are sup porting the 14 Lodge reservations, preamble and all. It appears that President Lowell, of Harvard slipped down to Wash ington last Friday night and had a conference with Senator McNary, Kellogg and two or three other reservationists. and suggested the amendment later accepted by Senator Lodge which provides that the ap proval of the reservations ehall be by diplomatic exchanges instead of forcing discussion to the peace con ference. Tnis amendment is tne one which made the republicans a unit except McCumber, and which assures, the votes to rorce in tne reservations. A vote on the preamble, or reserva tion No, X, will come early tomorrow, 'being set'over from today in order to permit the democratic senators to hold a caucus tonignt. Many rumors were afloat this afternoon, one of which was that. llellig. STIRRING exposition of a per tinent and vital problem con fronting the world at large Is "The Bar Sinister," being shown as a film drama at the Heilig. The story is from the pen of Anthony P. Kelly and was directed by Edgar Lewis who created similar memorable photo dramas, as "The Barrier," "The Nig ger," "The Light at uusk, i ne isona- man." The underlying theme in "The Bar Sinister" as in the others of its kind is the spiritual equality of mankind regardless of race, creed or color. There is no pretense at any solution of the question, nor an argument for the erasure of the color line, but it is a skillful arrangement of prop aganda furthering a tolerance rather than a prejudice on a vital subject. The question the story frankly asks at its beginning is "whether a man or woman is better because he or she is white." and "if, in the eyes of God. all men are not equal?" The episodes in the story have called for thoughtful and painstak ing -direction, for views of folk in one part of the country differ vastly from those of his brother In another part of the same country on the sub ject of race prejudice and toleration, The story concerns a negress who rears a white girl as her own and in the romance drama and tragedy un folded in the girl's life the story sug gests that color of skin affects in dividuals in a social and not a spirit ual way. The picture will be shown each aft ernoon and evening for the remainder of the week.
