COUNTY COURT ISSUES ORDER District Attorney Files Motion Asking Court To Kcrite Evidence On Which Order Is Based Court Kefuseg. Declaring that the elections were conducted according to lav; and were regular in every particular, the members of the county court this af ternoon issued an order proclaiming Sutherlin, Oakland and Glendale "wet" territory. The order of the court becomes effective at once, and Sutherlin, Glendale and Oakland are now subject to licensed saloons. The question of the validity of the recent local option elections In the three towns involved was raised by District Attorney George M. Brown, who contended that the election was held at the time of the general elec tion on November 5, and that the said cities had not been made voting precincts, but that the said question was submitted to the voters of the precincts and not exclusively to vot ers of the towns. The district at torney also contended that the pre cincts embraced much more territory and was inhabited by many legal voters who voted at the general elec tion. ... The members of the county court met in special session yesterday, at which time District Attorney Brown made an eloquent appeal In substan tiation of his contentions. This ad dress was answered by Attorney El bert Hermann, of counsel for the lo- cal brewery, who claimed that the elections were conducted according to law. Following the arguments the-mem-bers of the court assembled in se cret session, and not until nearly noon today did they arrive at a con clusion.

Immediately folio wins issuance of the1 order by the court, District At torney Brown filed a motion in which he asked the court to recite the evi dence on which they based the order. Thi3 the court refused to do. While the district attorney has no direct redress in a case of this na ture, he ;-:iys the action of .the uuui1 ty court will in ail probability be lev it wed ii. the cbvmt t t :r the. time the cases of James and Elmer Hnye. of Glendale, iiv ciiled fci hearing These men are under indict ment o charges of violating the ioeal option iaws. "VVhi'.e the alleged of fenses charged against these men were committed during a time when local option was in effect in Glen dale there is a question of law as to whether or not a penalty can be executed after the prohibition law had been repealed. The district at torney says the cases may be tried, but that the question of enforcing the penalty in case of conviction is a matter for the court to decide. In bringing these cases to an Issue, the district attorney will bo obliged to submit virtually the same evidence as was introduced before the county court. Notwithstanding the order of the county court, District Attorney Brown stil! maintains that the local option elections were illegal, and were not held according to law. in view of the fact that the order of the county court becomes effective at once, it Is likely that the councils of the three towns Involved will is sue saloon licenses within the next few weeks.
