(Special to The Evening News.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 5. A referen-
duin law, whereby the people may i
place on the statute books enact-
ments which even the United States
supreme court cannot declare uncon
stitutional, is asked by Theodore
Roosevelt In a sensational copy
wrighted jurilcle, entitled "Judges
. and Progress," which appeared In
J- the Outlook. Unless the referendum
Is granted the Colonel believes the
time will soon come when the power
now held by the courts to pass on the
.. legality of Inws will be taken from
them by the people. The article
asserts that it is within the province
of the courts only to pass on those
points Taised finder tha Haw, but
that they have no power to kill
legislation unless it proves to be
flagrantly, unconstitutional.

BOSTON, Jan. 5. It is learned to
day that the Rev. Rfcheson, accused
of the murder or Miss Avis Lfnnell,
has gone raving mad in his cell. An
application was made this afternoon

proves to be insane he will doubt
less be sent to an asylum for treat-
' ment.
Richeson showed the first bad
symptoms of insanfty yesterday while
talking with his attorney. At that
time he suddenly leaped to his feet
screaming, and was thrown bajk onto
a cot by a negro cell-mate who held
him down until assistance arrived.
All day long he continued to jabber
like an idiot.

A BIG INCREASE

Properly Crowing.

Kxpectoil That TMh Ycnr's Tux lAvy

Development Work In
cmiKes Valuation,
County Clerk Edward Lenox re
ceived n message from Salem last
evening to the effect that the state
tax commissioners haxe fixed the
valuations of property owned by cor
porations in Douglus county at $i,-
101,178.00. This figure shows e
material increase when compared
with tho valuations levied by the tux
commissioners last year.
The message also contained Infor
mation that Douglas county's pro
portion of the state tax is $109.6
or more than twlre as much as that
of last year. This Increase is prob-
lbly due to the Increase of exjtense
n conducting the state Institutions,
together with the liberal approprla-
lions Fanct toned by tlie legislature
two ye-irs ao.
Adding the valuations of tho cor-
orntlons of Douglas county to the
valuations of property levied by
County Assessor Frank Cntktns It ap
pears that the property of the coun
ts valued at approximately $32,
G.7',S Oil or about $ 1 .000,000.00
In excess of a year ago. The Increase
in valuations coining under the Jur
isdiction of tlie local assessor is said
to be due to the remarkable rievel-!
opment of the past year.' enhanced
by inuuy substantial Improvement. ;
Last yesr tlie valuations of tlie coun
ty totalled $31.tift.?,970.00.
V I tli the iihstantinl Increase In
valuations both nt the ban H of IN
ounty nHcsaor and the state tax
rommlFsfon, there npjenrs no valid
rxcuse. It is said, for delaying erec
tion of an armory. According
to the figures of a well known coun
ty official furnlffhfd The News this
afternoon, a three mill Ihx levy, bas
ed iion the present valuations, will
raise sufficient money to erect four
or five bridges, together with the
Armory. Previously, it was thought
that a three mill levy would be neces-
tary In constructing the three bridges
for which contracts were yesterday
awarded.

Convicted
of Carrying
WcapoiiH
Concealed
At the conclusion of tho argu
ments of the attorneys Into this af
ternoon. Justice of the Peace Mars
tors found Joseph Powula, nccused
of carrying concealed weapons, guilty
as charged. Ho wns fined $125. At
tomey Dexter Rice, who defended
Powula, said he would probably ap
peal the case to (lie circuit court.
Tho case of the State vs. Walter
Christie, charged with tho crime of
assault and buttery, commenced at 4
o'clock this afternoon in Justice
Marster's court. Christie was arrest
ed charged with assault and battery,
based upon the contention of Powula,
who said that. Christie struck him
prior to the time he (Pouwlat drew
bin revolver.
In view of Powula's conviction, 11
Is likely that Cbrtsflo will bo ac
quitted, considering that the evidence
will be about the same ns adduced In
the former trial.
With the court room crowded to
its capacity, the preliminary hearing
of Joseph Powula, a strike-breaker
charged with tho crime. oT carrying
concealed weapons, came up for
hearing before Magistrate Reuben
Mnrsters this morning. The state wns
represented by District Attorney
George M. Brown, white Attorney
Dexter Rice, local Southern Pacific
counsel, looked after tlie Interests of
the defendant.
Witnesses for the ntato Included
Walter Christie. Charles Justus, P. A,

Call, all of whom ure members of the
local federation of shopmen. The
tcvernl witnesses Introduced upon
behalf of the state testified that they
were In tho vicinity of Sheridan
street on tho night the trouble In
alleged to have occurred, but denied
in emphatic terms, that they were
In nnv manner responsible for the
controversy. In fact, Christie, who
Ik alleged to have struck Powula
a idow In the face, denied thai he
acted as accused, neither did he see
inyotio nssnll the prosecuting wit
ness. Christie's evidence was corro
borated in detail liy the other wit
nesses, who declared they were near
the scene, and would have noticed
'be blows In the event of trouble.
The s'ate's witnesses admitted havlne
congn-jTited near their headquarters
in Sheridan street, but In this thev
were not aware of itnv violation of
'be law. They testified that Powula
pulled b! revolver without muse or
Tirovocntlon, and that he ril'di-mred
the pause with n view of ImiMni:
'rouble. They denied emphatically
that he was struck or mobfi'd.

''oh'lnus of the corporations cniiie at-' I

ago. It had been expected that they ;
would remain practically at the same
figures.
County Clerk Lenox Is this after-!
noon busily engaged in arriving at
a tentative tax levy which- will b'!
approved by tho county court late in
the present term. Mr. I-nox Is n.i
yet unable to make a dt-flnlte state
ment ss to the Amount of the levy,
nor will ho lie able to reach such a
conclusion before next M on da v. It
Is xaid, however, that It will be some

mills

names. According to tho version
advanced by tho strikers the defend
ant acted without the least cause.
Relative to the position of the gun,
the strikers contend that It was con
cealed and was not aeen by them
prior to tho timo Powula flourished
it In tho air nnd fient a bullet Into
the ground. In this , regard, the
strikers were positive, and their res
pective testimony was introduced
without material variance.
The defence introduced five wit
nesses, Including Herman Young,
Carlos Leonard, T. J.. Robblns, Gus
Schneider and tho defendant. Speak
ing through the assistance of au in
terpreter. Powula said he left the
shops on the night of tho controversy
at about seven o'clock, nnd went
directly to the Rapp rooming house!
where ho secured rt room. From ;
there he wended his way to the
Quick Lunch restaurant, and after
purchasing a meal ticket, emerged
into the street. "As 1 left tho res
taurant I was approached by a num
ber of strikers," said Powula, "sever
al of whom nddressed me as a
'scab'. 1 paid no attention to the
Jeers and was continuing my way
northward along Sheridan street
when 1 was Biirroundcd by these men.
Without tho least warning, Christie
nppronched and struck me a severe
blow in the face. 1 staggered into
tho Ptieot, and upon rogulnttig my
comphsuro pulled my gun. Follow
ed by a dozen men I walked In tho
direction of the railroad tracks
where I discharged my revolver in
hope of attracting tho ofllcem. Later
I wns arrested, nnd was compelled to
part with my weapon."
Upon being cross-examined by
District Attorney Ilrown, Powula ad
mitted that he pulled the weapon
with the intention of Bhootlng Chris
tie, who he alleged wns the an pres
sor. "I would have shot that man
had not Severn persons been be
tween us. said Powula, "Inasmuch
as he struck me In the Jaw," Fur
ther examination brought out the
fact that Powula Is In tho habit of
carrying a revolver. Ho Bniri ho
toted a gun in Chicago for eighteen
mouths, and In so doing, was pro
tected from poll co interference by
an official permit.. Powula purchas
ed the gun about two months ago,
and according to his statements.

bard in which ho cnrrled the gun was
purchased In Portland about two

Herman Young and Cnrlon Loon

the evidence as adduced by Powula,
and alleged they were with him at
