NO. 15 IS Would not Vote Russia Money For Military Fund RUSSIANS FLEE COUNTRY Feeling Decidedly Intense and Kntirv Country KlectHfled With War Feeling Talk of Assass inating Russians. (Special to The Evening News) MELSINGFORS, Finland. Nov. 18. The Finish Wet, the east legislative body that Finland hus preserved from Rpssian domination dissolved today. The entire country Is in an uproar, and Is shaken from center to circum ference. The tint ion Is generally re garded as the beginning of the end of the Finnish Independence, and this only exercises the people more. Un doubtedly the Finns are opposed to the new state of affairs, and armed resistance to Russia's threatened ag ression may be attempted. The dissolution was the result of the diet's refusual to authorize a contribution of four million roubles to the Russian military I'unds. The senate, which Is stuffed with Russians, passed the m ensure, but the diet rejected it by a decided vote. For the last week Russians have been leaving FInnland as fast as it was possible for them to do, fearing an uprising of the entire country. Reports'that have wide circulation to the effect that the Finnish people are planning n general massacre of Russians Is believed to be groundless, but the situation is exceedingly in tense and decidedly alarming. The Finns have seen Russian domi nation approaching for a long time. Ruv-Mia has wanted absolute control of Finland and its finances for years, and in the end will secure them. Un der the circumstances the blow did not strike them wholly unprepared. Following I he dissolution of the diet, It Is feared that Russia will pro ceed to the annexation of the province of Diborg. It this follow.-, war, assassination and pillnge will follow, with the end of Filmland as a separ ate nation. AN UNKNOWN MAN . IS DRIVEN TO BAY (Special to The Evenjng News.) BOISE, Idaho, Nov. IS.

Strong Sutherlin A. L. Clark Roseburg O. P. Coshow Roseburg Realizing tMat It would bp folly to undertake an extensive publicity campaign In the absence of a united effort the citizens of Sutherlin, as sisted by residents ot Roseburg, Oak land and various other towns throughout the county, effected a permanent commercial organization at a mass meeting held at the beau tiful "Sutherlin inn" last evening. The organization enters upon its work with a membership of fifty rep resentative business men, and will be formally recognized as the Douglas County Commercial Club. Unlike many similar organizations through out the state the Douglas County Commercial Club will not confine its work in the upbuilding of the town honoring its adoption, but on the con trary It will exert every elTort in the hope of benefitting the entire county. The by-laws adopted by the club are similar to those of other organiza tions throughout the state, Bitnply setting forth the rules nnd regula tions in a brief and concise manner. Called to Order. The meeting (proper) was held In the spacious dining apartment of the "Sutherlin inn," and was called to order by c. T. Colt, at one time pub licity manager of the Roseburg Com mercial Club. In explaining the cause of the meeting, Mr. Colt spoko brief ly, simply calling to mind the num erous benef-ts dorlved from a com mercial organization conducted along proper linos. Among those who delivered sched uled addresses were C. D. Bealc, a member of the board of governors; L. G. Hicks, consulting engineer of the J-use Land & Development Com pany, and K. I., Meyers, President of the same corporation. Mr. Meyers who is thoroughly con versant with the company's contem plated future operations in Sutherlin Valley, said that he believed tho time was near at band when Douglas county would become one of the rich est and most attractive sections of the ontlro United States. "Our com pany Is so organized" siad Mr. Meyers "that I have no doubt but what we will be the means of bringing bun-; dreds of good citizens to Douglas county during the coming two years. We have over GuO agents at tho pres ent time, all of whom are busily en-: gaged in expounding the resources, climatical conditions, and natural adantages found In this county. These men are all located in the east tern states, and suffice to say they are meeting with success In I sending those In search of homes to this section. We have only commen ced the devehrjMtient of Sutherlin notwithstanding the fact that we have expended to date a sum exceed ing 5240,000. As a class the citizen of this county are progressive, hut of course, you will find the ever present knocker In every community, lie is here as lie If: everywhere, but we deem him of little consequence. There ,.hi,,K.U'? nf'!,h; .of 1I,H eounty should eliminate at once, that being the petty jealousy whit: now existH. Ruiifl up ne section of I he county and you are sure to aid your neighbor. Money spent in one com munity has its efiect upon the neigh boring community, regardless of the disastrous appeal of the knocker." In its entirety Mr. Meyer's addiess was very interesting, especially when coming from a man who is investing his own capital in an effort to devel op DoukIus count.

With 300 members of the Oregon bar as attentive listeners, ex-Senator Charles V. Fulton on Tuesday poured Die vltrol of denunciation ov er the trial judge and prosecution In tho case of tho people of California agaltiHt ex-Mayor Schmltz. Without alluding tu Judge Lawlor'and Fran cis J. Heney by name. Mr. Fulton declared the methods of Heney un fair, and that the rulings of tho trial judge exhibited an utter disregard of the rights of the defendant to a fair. and Impartial Jury. As Mr. Kill-1 ton closed ho was greeted with round after round of applause. The incident grew out of the read ing of a paper eni II led "Criticism by tho Press of Court Decisions," tho speaker averring that when the appellate court of California revers ed the verdict of guilty against tho former mayor, convicted of receiving bribes and graft, it performed only its sworn duty. "I slate without any reservation whatever, as a result of careful read- New up to the minute showings. Every garment properly fitted to you and kept nicely pressed no extra'charge.

"Thoy could not have' decided otherwise) without violating their official oaths and pleading guilty to u degreu of cowardice and ptislllamlny that would have Justly earned for them the enduring contempt of the bone hi and bar of the nation.' I do not cou tend that tho record disclosed tho InnocetiHe of Schmltz. I do contend, however, that he was entitled to a fair and Impartial trial and that tho record disclosed not only that ho had! been denied such, but that the char acter or the trial In the lower court. In its utter disregard of tho most simple nnd elementary principles of justice and decency, was rarely If" over surpassed by Jeffrey In his most vigorous and vicious exumples of ju dicial tyranny and., depravity." Tho ex-Senator then called atten tion to tho newspaper condemnatalom of tho decision of the appellate court which resulted In Mayor Sch mltz being liberated pending a new trial. He pointed out that a great outcry had been made by the press against roleasing that arch-conspirator upon a technicality, and he urged! that, while courU are often wrong in their decisions, the newspapers shorn! defer criticism of their decis ions until careful study of the facta and the law had been made. Ho deprecated criticism of the courts for following precedent, and contended that tho law must be uniformly ap plied. "Of the trial Judge in the Sehmlt caso I hesitate to speak," concluded the Senator,' "lest I express myself In language too severe. Macauloy Bpeaking of Bertram! Barore, said: 'In nlmost every particular sort of wickedness ho had rivals; there may have been men as cowardly, some u cruel, few as mean.
