One Applicant For License Would

At a special meeting of the city
council Monday evening, several mat
ters pertaining to city affairs came
up for consideration, one of which
was a line-up on an ordinance gov
erning and regulating saloons, and
another had to do with occupation
tax and licenses for near beer places.
While the matter of an ordinance
for the government of saloons will be
looked after by City Attorney Or
cutt. It was thought best that the
council take up the matter in order
that a consensus of opinion might be
obtained for use in framing the or
dinance. From the discussion it was
apparent that the mayor and one or
two members of the council were in
favor of a license of from $1,500 to
$2,000 on the' saolon business, and
regulating the hours from 5 o'clock
in the morning to 10 o'clock In the
evening with no back room or storage-
room. Some are of the opinion
that $2,000 or even $1,500 Is too high
for a snioon license In a town the
size of Sutherlin, and this may be-
modified, especially If two saloons'
are allowed to do business. The may-'
or reported that fifteen applications!
had been received for a saloon li
cense and one of the applicants had
offered to pay $1,500; An ordinance
covering the matter will be presented
to the council next Monday night.

It is claimed that two polling

one for those residing in the city
limits and one for those residing out
side. .The election here was conduct
ed at one voting place whore two bal

lots of all those residing outside the

and all those residing within the city
limits were placed In the other.

same question has been brought be
fore the courts in Oregon on several
previous occasions, and In each in
stance the courts have ruled that
elections conducted in the maimer as
followed in the recent case In Suth

GETS OFF EASY
Mooney Draws Sentence Pro
vided By State Statute
MOONEY SAYS HE IS INSANE
Brands Ills Conviction a Miscarriage
of Justice Says Ho Heally He- .
, longs In The State Hos
pital for Insane,
Sane and sober, and evidencing no
sigus of mental depression, R. L.
Mooney, allns George Gray, recent
ly convicted on a charge of white
slavery, appeared before Judge Ham
ilton in the circuit court this morn
ing, and was sentenced to an in
determinate term of from one to five
years in tho Btate penitentiary.
When asked If he had anything
to say why sentence should not bo
pronounced, Mooney addressed the
court briefly. Mooney declared that
his conviction was a miscarriago of
justice, and most especially in view
of the fact that he had spent no less
than 1 1 years In various hospitals j
for the Insane. 1 am crazy at
times," shouted the prisoner as he
calmly faced uie court, "and yes
terday 1 had little, if any concep
tion of what was transpiring. My
condition Is pitiful, and Instead of
being sent to the penltentary, 1
should he committed to the asylum
where I niuy receive medical atten
tion." , In commenting on hiB actions dur
ing Wednesday's sessions of court,
Mooney sjtid some person gave him a
glass of water which was apparently
doped, and to this he attributed his
peculiar actions. The latter state
ment on the part of Mooney Is denied
the officers nnd examining physi
cians, who claim he was feigning In
sanity with a view of gaining sym
pathy at the hands of the trial jury.
Mooney had hardly concluded his
rambling address when Judge Ham
ilton sentenced the prisoner to an in
determinate term of from one to five
years In the state penitentiary. Had
Mooney been convicted of white
slavery under the federal statutes he
would have been subject to a sen
tence of from three to fifteen years.
Fortunately for Mooney, the Indict
ment was f mined tinder the state
law, wbjlch specifies tho jientenoe
imposed by the trial Judge, In
passing sentence Judge Hamilton sim
ply Informed tho prisoner that ho
had heen convicted by a Jury after
a fair trial, and as a result, It was
made the duty of tho trial Judge to
Impose sentence provided by statute,
Mooney will probably be taken to!
tho penitentiary tomorrow morning,
to begin his sentence. Inasmuch as -
Mooney has repeatedly threatened
aalf-destructlon, a close watch wilt
he kept over him tonight.
