Quine on a bench warrant issued at noon today by Judge Hamilton. The grand jury reported late this morning and a number of true bills were returned.

"The Broken Law" which appear ed here Tuesday night with Con stance Crawley in the leading role was greeted by a fair sized and ap preciative audience. Roseburg thea tre goers have seldom witnessed a better performance on the local stage. The scenery, while compelled to be contracted on account of the size of Hie stage, was well arranged und carrki their uiTects splendidly. Tae play is of English origin and uses as its theme the dual character of that country In regmd t o hus band and wife. Ti.o uni'aiihfal hus band, the unhappy wife and the friend In need are the principal characters in the drama. Miss Craw ley as the unhappy and later as the untrue wife, curried her part with wonderful expression. Arthur Maude as the unfaithful husband also did well in his part. The other charac ters were well presented, and the au dience frequently applauded the climaxes. HOLD INQUEST POINTED REPLY Over the Remains of the Late Whitcomb Fields.

My Insistence has been only that the laws of this state be observed and enforced by those who have trampled them un der foot. The observance and the en forcement of the law hurts no city nor harms no people except those who are outside the pule of tho law. During the past months numerous complaints have been filed with this office charging thnt the local option laws were bolng openly and flagrant ly . violated in Douglas county. In part by those whose sworn duty it was to uphold and enforce tho law. Pursuant to my duty ond my oath or ofrice as governor of this state, sworn to see thnt the laws nre Justly und Impartially enforced, I called these complaints to the attention of tho district attorney In nnd for noug hts county, und asked that tho charges bo Investigated, nnd such ac tion be taken as the racts would warrant.' Resulting from this Investigation tho ofricers and directors of the Roseburg Brewing & Ice Company wore Indicted Tor violating tho local option law. They vehemently denied their guilt. Suite's C'niiro Kvplnlnctl. It Is a act, admitting or nb con tradiction, that any institution Is a public nuisance which openly, con stantly and notoriously rinuuta Its disregard or constituted autnority in the race or decent people, to the dn trlment or the public morals mid the public good. This Is a maxim, and It Is corollary thereto, that any tier son standing as sponsor tor or hand In hand with such an Institution par takes or its public attributes and shares In its public disgrace. Such an Institution Is the Rose burg Drawing & Ice Company, the re vocation of whose charter has been asked of tho court by request of this orrice. based upon Indictments round by a grand Jury or the law-abiding and Justice-loving citizens or Doug las rounty. Against this crrort your mayor, a stockholder and proflt shurer lu this Illegal hand-iuiildcn or organized vice, made Indignant de fense. Sworn to uphold the law, lie stultified his oath by attempting lo condono Its violation a violation proven or record by tho pleas of guil ty entered irpon tho docket of tK circuit court. No man can keep his oath and break It. No man can rutfll his trust and betray It. This olflco Is confident your mayor know the local option law wns being rvlolated In Roseburg and by tho Roseburg lircw Ing A Ice Company. lie was a stock holder in an lllegnl business vblle sworn to uphold and enforce the law. In view or these facts, this orrice sees no reason to change Its course. It has a sworn duty to perform to see that tho laws or the state are enforced; nnd no matter whether the violators are distinguished public orriclals, who do a wholesale- business illegally, or the humble blnd-plrg ?r In the back alley. .

OTHER TOWNS ARE INTERESTED District Attorney Claims Tliat Olen. dale KIcction Wjw Illegal und )iU Not Stund the Test of The Courts. i CONNiniOlt AIMiUMlONTS. At a late hour this ufternoon tile members of the county court were considering the ar- guments of the attorneys rela- live to the validity of the re- rent elections held at Olendalo, Oaklund und Sutherlln, and a decision will probably be forth- coming tonight. In the event the county court refuses to Is- sue an order proclaiming the towns "wet" territory tho ques- tlon will probably be carried to tho higher courts for final dis- position. - Claiming that the recent local op tion election hold at Olendalo was Il legal Tor tho reason that the election ' was held at the tlmo or the general election on November 6, and that the said city or Glendale had not been made a voting precinct but that tho said question was submitted 'to the voters of Glendale precinct which em braces much more territory und la inhabited by many legal voters who voted nt the general election in said precinct, District Attorney Goorge M, Brown this afternoon uppeurod be foro the county court and asked that its members refrain from issuing an. order proclaiming Glendale "wet" territory. In filing his formal objection tils district attorney contended that the Issuance or a license to soil Intoxicat ing liquors by the Incoriiorated city ot Olendalo would lie no derense to a criminal prosecution tor the unlaw f ii I salo or intoxicating liquors, and prosecutions would be multiplied. District Attorney llrown prosonted his argument In a clear and rorce f ill manner, and refrained rrom sar casm or unjust criticism. Attorney Klbert Hermann, attor ney for the local brewery, appeared' on behalf ot fJUndnle, and in hit usual sarcastic manner made a weak attempt to rerute the contentions ot the district attorney. y Other towns confronted by similar conditions to thoso existing at Glen dale aro Sutherlln nnd Oakland.
