at 3 p. m. to consider the evl-

guilty, and the court immedl-
ately assessed a fine of $100
an costs. The defendant want-
ed this reduced to $50, but the
court, refused. In . his closing 4

.: '
The Burchfield Illegal fishing case
occupied the attention of Justice
Riddle's court again this morning,
and for two hours rebuttal evidence
was introduced to show conclusively
that the state had not Intimidated or
coerced witnesses, and also tending
to ehow that the defendant, had asked
for and received appointment as
idleputy sheriff and also commission
as deputy game warden. '
Continuing the case today, Sheriff
George K. Qulne was sworn as a
witness, anil stated that Burchfield
had coine to Ills ofllce and explained
tliat as ideputy sheriff he could do
much toward sustaining the law re
garding fish and fishing In the North
Uiupqua. Accepting the offer of
Burchfield, the sheriff swore him in
and supplied an official star.. : Asked
if 'Burchfield was still acting in the
capacity of deputy sheriff, Mr. Qulne
said no.' He further stated that he
had. demanded the surrender of the
star and revoked t'he authority ex
tended defendant following the ar
rest for law violation prior to the
trial under wny.
, Tho testimony of Countable Church
with referonce to conversation with
Earl Davis,' a lad homo on parole
and who has given considerable trou
ble at Winchester, showed that the
boy wanted to get away from Burch
field!. His statements were made In
the presence of Judge Riddle, Orin
Thompson and i Constable Church,
and were very . uncomplimentary to
Bardifleldi. The claim of Deputy
Warden Thompson that Burchileld
had openly referred to havings bribed
previous game wardens was corrobor
ated. It, was stated by Mr. Church
that the officers had at no time in
timidated Davis or told him what he
should say, nor hadl any of them talk
ed to the boy privately. This testi
mony ! was substantiated by Mr.
Thompson.. '
Mr. Burchfield, having denied .that
he applied for a commission as dep
uty game warden, S. C. Bartrum,
secretary-treasurer of the Sports
men's League, was called to the stand
and testified that on two occasions
the defendant had called on him and
asked) his influence In securing a
commission. The request was grant
ed, and later a commission was is
sued and turned over to Burchileld.
. W. H. Cordouk ot North Roseburg,
was called to explain from an expert's
viewpoint how salmon might be il
legally hooked with a common flBh
lng tackle.
Game Warden Thompson was giv
en a severe grilling by Attorney
Eddy, for the defense, when the wit
ness was being cross examined rela
tive to what Burchfield was alleged to
hRve said In regard to buying off all
other game waivltens, and some heat
ed words passed, between counsel
and the warden. Eddy accused him
of being Incapable of examining Into
rumors of lawlessness. At this point
District Attorney Neuner got Into
the game and demanded that counsel
desist his defamation of character
of the witness. Judge Riddler order
ed the case to continue In a proper
manner, and. something of a calm
succeeded the storm period.
The fact that Burchfield had boast
ed of having sold $750 worth of 11
legally captured fish and received a
fine of something like $50 when ar
rested and convicted' on the charge
at one time was further substantiated
by witness. Burchfield Is alleged to
have Btnted that the fine was perfect
ly satisfactory In view of the returns
from fish sold. A few other wit
nesses were introduced, but their tes
timony was really lnconsequental.
District Attorney Neuner made a
pointed, brief speech following the
taking of evidence, alleging that not
only Burchfield, tho defendant, but
all of his principal witnesses, were
men convicted of illegal fishing In
one way or another. The credibility
or the state's witnesses, he said! had
not been impaired by attempts of
counsel for the defense. '

lation ot either the moral or civil

THE UNITED STATES
Capt. Hobson Presents Many
Astonishing Facts to ,
Large Audience. -
GERMANY! A DRY NATION
Speaker Stated That Not a Single
Gallon of Liquor is Being 1 ;
Miulo or , Used In The
, Central Allies. -
These are mouitentuous times, and
the world is facing' the greatest crisis
In all history." With this sentence
Captain RicJMUond't P. Hobson, who
sprang Into popular ifavor during the
Spanish-American war, opened his
address at the armpry in this city
last night. It was 'a. masterly address,-
showing the rpal danger that
confronts the United States today,
and when the siueakttr alleged the
liquor Interests of th country were
a greater menace than any possible
invasion of the Hun could ever be,
few people in the vast, audience dis
sented. Plunging Into- the facts of
the issue, Captain Hobson presented
an array of official'- figures which
were at onco startling and .convinc
ing. His data was compiled from
governmental sources and therefore
authentic. The entire address dealt
with the liquor business. Ho present
ed statistics showing that the man
who, starting' at the nge of 20, lives
a life of total abstalnence attains the
average ago of 65., As a temperate
driuker he has assurance' of only 51
years of lite. As a heavy dlrinkor he
will die at 35. It was shown that
twice as many men die between the
ages of 25 and 35 as would die In
those years If there was no liquor.
They miss away In the prime of llle,
ao far us age is concerned, and Just
at a -time .when the nation needs
them most and when they ought to be
able to do most for. their country.
It was shown that If both nareoti
are abstainers, nine out of, every ton
cniiaren oorn are, uei tuiu. ji- uui
parents are addicted to alcohol, only
one but of six is normal when born.
Referring to the. -world's history,
Captain Hobson, stated Uiat the na
tions of ' old Which held -universal
Bway over the civilized earth were
each in their turn dlestroyed through
intomi)erance. ' Babalyon was taken
during a1 drunken debauch of its rul
ers, Chnldea, in turn, was swallow
ed up by Grecia, and the glory of the
Grecian empire passed with the death
of Alexander, who died at the age of
32 in a drunken debauch. Rome,
when she had gone into depths of
degradation through intemperance,
the last of the universal empires,
passed Into history through Intem
perances As In the past, so now.
The nations who wlll survive are
those who will banish liquor. The
Boeakerl insisted tliat if the United
States vi onldi only adopt the dry re
gime all nations allied with her
would do-likewise. ' Tlie objoctive of
the temperance forces now Is to learn
the shortest way to making the na
tion drji. This can only be done toy
systematic organization, he alleged,
and during the evening divulged the
plan of -.working together to accom
plish this end.
Cantaln Hobson " complimented
Oregon pa her temperance effort, and
spoke ot other states coming into the
dry raaks, and or tne, rattneauon
vote to be taken by state legislatures
concerning the prohibition amend
ment proposed for the constitution.
Although the food administration
is calling for conservation of food
stuffs, Captain Holison thundered
out the galling truth that millions,
even billion's -of dollars' worth of
bread stuffs were being used In
America annually In the manufacture
of liquors. Enough 'money is being
spent for liquor and in manufactur
ing. liquor, he alleged, to finance this
present war. Appalling ,as It may
seem, he quoted figures to show that
deaths from -llqiuor in the allied na
tions were greater than those upon
the battle fields of France and Bel
glum. ':'"''.
Ho alleged that liquor would un
dermine the efficiency of the finest
aniiy the country could muster, and
that efficiency in BrltUh and French
fighting forces had been lessened 35
jer cent through the use of strong
drjnk. In this connection ne snow
ed! that Germany has taken this mat
ter Borlously. At first an order went
Into effect onttlng manufacture of
llduor fifty per cent. Then another
25 per centi reduction. was made, nnd
the third time it was cut out alto
gether. Not one gallon cf beer or
other llttuor Is being made In Oer-j
many today. All of their for.d stuffs
are being conserved, and the fighting
efficiency of the Hun armies corres
pondingly raised.
i Even though tho allies will win the
war, the fruits of the conflict will be
In vain, Captain Hobson alleged, un
less liquor Is abolished from tho
world. Ho maintained that the brew
eries In America are largely, If not

POLICE COURT CASES
El
Dany Campbell, a young auto en-"
thuslast with a mania, it is alleged,
for SDeedlnir 'm- nn .hnvnnrf what iha
ordinance allows, made his second
doumt into police court, yesterday,
and contributed $7.60 to the city ex
chequer. Speeding was the complaint
lodged against the young man; and'
City Recorder Whipple assessed the
fine. .
3. M. .Tudd. who AnnAftrnH nn fhn
streets at the helm of a gas wagon
lor wnicn no license was Issued,
was "pinched" by Marshal Sham
brook and when appearing before
the city recorder was taxed $6 per
fectly good! dollars for his disobedi
ence. . : . .... i
Seven small boys who crowded the
season a llttlo last Saturday evening
by "goln' swlmmln' " in tho Umpqua
river above the Oak street bridge
were brought on tho rjirnat hnf-a
City Recordtor Whipple. It was not
tne iact mat tne boys had gone into
the river or that they could not real
ly enlov the cold wniAi- h..t .
youngsters neglected the little pro
priety or putting on that small one
by twloe garment called a bathing
suit. This oversight cost the lads $1
per. Anybody who ha , .
boys knows the temptation that comes
wiin a summer day when water is
handy, regardless of the dignity of
a commjunity, lurge or small, but city
ordinances make no distinction, and
must be obeyed.
