SALEM. Or., Nov. 7. Friday, De
cember 111, is a day of ill-omen for
the five murderers at the state pen
itentiary. Today Governor West is
sued a statement that he will abide
by the will of the people, and that
the reprieved men will he hanged.
He says that there may be times
when the circumstances will cause
. his office to use executive clemency,
but that "hanging Is to be the order
of the day.
Jn a formal statement issued this
morning the governor said
"The question of the nbolishment
of capital punishment was fairly pre
sented to the voters of the state, and
they made it plain that they are In
favor of hanging. While I am, of
i course, disappointed in the result, I
have no complaint to make or crltl-
cissm to offer.
"I fought for the abolishment of
capital punishment because my con
science dictated such action. 1
have always been opposed to it and
always will be.
"However, the voters of this state
have declared their wishes In the
matter and I intend to abldo by
their decision. There may be times
when circumstances will cause this
office to use executive clemency, but
hanging Is to be the order of the
day. Friday, the 13th day of De
cember, should be a red letter day
for many of those who favor capital
punishment. I am sorry our seat
ing capacity In the death chamber
j Is so limited, for we undoubtedly
I will be obliged to turn away many
who have been looking forward to
j this event. However, we will do the
best we can."

It would be a greater calamity to run

Would Delay Cases.
Upon the convening of court this
afternoon Attorney Elbert Hermann
presented motions in which he ask
ed that the cases of the State vs.
J. A. Mod oml, Elmer and James
Hayes and M. C. McKluney, all ac
cused of bootlegging, be continued
until the regular February term of
court. In presenting his motion At
torney Hermann claimed that the In
dictments were Indefinite for reas
on that they did not state that the al
leged violation of law occurred In
Glendale, the home of those charged
In the Indictments. Attorney Her
mann also declared that Glendale
was at present a "wet" town, and
consequent iy the alleged violators
were not subject to punishment even
though they were convicted.
District Attorney Brown replied to
the remarks of Mr. Hermann and
took itisuo with certain statements
; uttered by the latter. Prosecutor
I Brown said the Indictments were
drawn according to law, and conse
quently the indictees were subject to
trial without delay.
District Attorney Brown also con
landed that Douglas county was at
present "dry' as a whole, and that
the alleged violators were subject to
prosecution even though Glendale
had gouo "wet" at Tuesday's elec
tion. Judge Hamilton took the motion
under advisement and will probably
render a decision early tomorrow
Grand Jury Busy.
The grand jury convened this
morning and spent the greater part
of the day investigating the caso of
U L. Mooney, whom It is claimed if
guilty of white slavery In ctynectton
Vith leaving Oakland with Ethel Met-
calf. An indictment charging such
a crime will be returned against
Mooney late today. Mooney Is also
accused by an indictment returned
at the last sefslon of court of the
crime of embezzlement.

HAMILTON SUSTAINS STATE
LeliKtll)' Affidavit Filed Iti'qiuwlintt
roiifimuiiti-e On (.round That
Public Mind Is lnllMim-d
Against llrewery.
District Attorney George M. Brown
won the first skirmish In tho brew;-
ery cases this nftornoon when Judgo
W. HnmllKfn refused to sustain
a motion niuftle by the defendants,
through tlur attorneys Rice and
Hermann requesting that tho brew
ery cases go over till the February
term of court.
One of the defendants made an
affidavit stating that the continuance;
should be grunted on two grounds; I
first, because tho defense could not
get Dr. Hampton. Its woman expert
hemist, to bo present at this term
which begins next week. Tho fecond
ground was to the effect that tho
Umpqim Valley News had so in
flamed the public mind in reference
to the brewery cases that it would
be Impossible to get a fair jury.
Dexter Rice argued the motion for
tho defendants. When Mr. Hice took
iiis seat District Attorney Brown
rose to present the side, of the state,
but Judge Hamilton interrupted ,hhn
by saying that ho did not care to
hear anything further In regard to
the mutter. He continued by say
ing that the evidence of Dr. Hamp
ton Is of record and In case she Is
not able to be present the testimony
given In the former trial could be
used. In reference to t.h o Been 11 d
part of their motion, Judge Hamil
ton paid that the mere fact that a
Juryman had read about the brewery
rases would not disqualify him act
in this case. Ho stated that ho had
sufficient confidence In the average
Juryman to believe that ho would
not be Influenced In deciding the
case contrary to the law and the
evidence. "For these reasons, " said
Judgo Hamilton, "1 will overrule the
motl I made for a continuance nml
the brewery cases will bo set down
for trial next Monday morning."

across the president's front porch
whenever they feel like it, paying no
attention to the policemen there, bur-
row around tho president's go ran- '

seem to enjoy lifo much more than
any other living thing. in tho vicin
