CRITESER S PENALTY $300
Dnbell's Case Transferer to Myrtle
Creek Justice Court Dixon .
Awarded $320
When Judge Hamilton In the Cir
cuit Court this morlng, asked Sara
Cantile, the Elk Creek Indian, con
victed of rape, if he had anything to
say why sentence should not be pro
nounced up him, Cantile said:
"I can give a good recommenda
tion. I have always been an honest
man, I never told a lie In my life
and I have always tended strictly to
my own business."
"You have been found guilty of a
very sorlous crime," said Judge Ham
ilton, "and the sentence of the court
Is that you be confined in the peni
tentiary for a term of ten years."
Cantile received the sentence with
the stoicism of his race, and then
followed Sheriff Fenton out of the
court room to the Jail below. The
maximum penalty for such a crime
as Cantile committed is 20 years im
prisonment, and the minimum is
three years.
Criteser Finril $:M)0.
The penalty upon Walter Criteser,
of West Fork, convicted of selling
liquor, was imposed this afternoon
without statement on part of the de
fendant or comment on part of the
court. The penalty, however, speaks
for itself. It consists of a fine of
$300, the heaviest punishment yet
inflicted by Judge Hamilton In this
court for such an offense. Up till

that he had decided to serve time in

for 150 days five months. Tho
maximum penalty is 30 days in jail

Attorney Brown intends to prosecute
Criteser on the remaining Indictment

Duliell's Cane Transferred.
Tony Du belli ni (Indicted under tho
name of Dubell), the S. P. section
hand from Myrtle Creek and of Ital
ian nationality, will not face the
charge of selling liquor in the circuit
court. This afternoon District At

trict tho offense is alleged to have
been committed, and Judge Hamil
ton allowed the motion. As his
reasons for asking the transfer. Dis
trict Attorney Iirown cited the small
ness and unimportance of the case
coupled with the fact that the county
would be at a big expense in bringing
a lot of DubelUni's felow workmen
from Myrtle Creek to this city to tes
tify. It Is reported that the defend
ant sold only 25 cents worth of liquor
and this on Christmas day when the
Italians were celebrating in a friend

case will even come up for trial In
the justice court.

were doubts as to the quantity and

SALEM, Jan. 21. Buchanan scor
ed a victory over the resolutions com
mittee in the house today when he
forced from that committee an un
favorable report on a resolution
which he had Introduced on the op
ening day of tho session and then
succeeded In having it adopted by
practically a unanimous vote. It
was a concurrent resolution and pre
scribed that every bill Introduced in
either house during the 1909 session
should have two enacting clauses.
Campbell Insisted that the effect
of the resolution would amount to an
attempted annulment of tho state
constitution, which contemplated that
there should be only' one such en
acting clause. In reply, Ituchanan
contended -that tho purpose of tho
resolution was merely to throw
around all laws enacted at this ses
sion a safeguard, without which all
such laws would bo unconstitutional
should tho United States supreme
court decided adversely against the
initiative and referendum law, adopt
ed by the people of this state, and
which Is now pending before that
