When the Harrett-Hurd bill, known as the coun- i ty bonding law, came up in the House for consideration todsy, NicholB cre- nted a decided Btorm by endeavoring to force the Insertion of tho Kellnher 1 amendment, barring all patent pave ments from county roads. After a hot tilt, In which several members of the House took part, the amendment or substitute for section 24 was adopted. This throws open the specifications for county road work to all comers. Governor West "had objected to sec tion 24 as passed by the Senate, and the compromise substitute offered by Smith was accepted in that branch of the Legislature. Forbes KcscntM Move. Without the slightest warning, when the measure came to the House, Nichols injected the patent l't feature Into the situation. Forbes scored Nichols for bringing in this amendment again, charging it to bn unfair. "We havo gone all over -this mat ter time and time r.gain," said Forbes, "and it has been thrashed out in cor' uittees of both houses anil has been g. m more thought and con sideration ptrhaps than any other bill ot this session. Now why bring tills paving fight In here? Everyone Is1 satisfied with the Smith umendment; and let us put that in and send the bill back to the Senate for final ac tion." When the vote was taken on the Nichols amendment, which was In the Identical language of one which Sen ator Kellnher tried to havo Inserted when the Barrett bill wos In the Sen ate, It was voted down overwhelming ly. 'The Smith amendment intro- duced by Reames was then voted on and was adopted by the same vote. On final rollcall Nichols stood alone in voting against the amended llar-rctt-Hurd bill.

Hoover, a former stockholder In the corporation, later a political foe of Mlcelll, gave evidence In behalf of the state anil In consequence sub jected himself in a scathing denun ciation nl the hands of Attorney Her mann. .. As he Is fine of the stnte'n witnesses In the present case, it Is u natunil pre'-'umptlon that be is scheduled for another flaying. Hoov er Is expected to testify thnt the sales of 1 r iiuide by the brewery to Con nor were under Mlcelll's direction. Hoover Is alleged to have been a silent business associate of Connor when the latter conducted a liquor house In Koseliurg. Connor was twice convicted of selling Intoxicating liquor nnd on the last occasion he served a month's time In the county Jail. Ho blamed Mlcelll for his con viction. Weiss, now conducting a brewery at 1'klah. Cal., formerly operated a cold storage and beer depot In Uose burg. He was four times Indicted for violating the local option law. On one charge ho paid a fine on thcii second ho wns sentenced to Jail, but tho unsanitary condition of that place of Imprisonment saved him from serving tho sentence. The remaining charges against him were dismissed upon motion of Prosecuting Attorney I llrown a few days ago.

The latter admlta that on one occasion and only one be collected money from wmnor oo nis account wiin me D row ry. an d tbla waa at a time when a dlaputa arose between Connor and Relsensteln and tha former called at the brewery to make a settlement. - Connor Splines Surprise. Connor waa called by the state to the witness stand thla morning and during his croes-eiamlnatlon he made an amaslng statement tending to show that Doctor George E. Houck. opponent of Mlcelll In the mayoralty race, contemplated open opposition to the local option law In the event of being elected. Houck told Connor, witness said, If he- waa elected Mayor he would favor discontinuance of traffic In near-beer and the substitu tion of licensed traffic in standard beer by saloons limited? in number to seven. Connor admitted that such boar aa he seeured from the brewery waa sold to him by Relsensteln and that Ml celll never once so much as visited his place of business. He also ad mitted that he never paid any money over to Mlcelll, except on the lone oc casion referred to above. When Hoover testified he gave no evidence at all bearing directly on the alleged sale of beer to Connor. He told about operations of toe brewery In a general way while he was a di rector. When he had finished At torney Rice moved to strike out his answers, but the court ruled adverse ly. The only feature of his testimony wsb the statement that he and Joseph and Frank Mlcelll, acting In unison, sent out of town a spotter who pre tended to have Incriminating knowl edge and evidence of the brewery's business. This spotter, he said, was accompanied out of town by G. Worthlngton, who received payment from the brewery for his services. "Were any other officers of the brewery connected with thla act?" Attorney Rice asked. "Not thnt I know of." the witness replied. "The others played the part of gentlemen. They Bat back and drew the dividends, nnd the Micellls and I did the dirty work." Hicn tried to draw from the wit ness an admission that ho got the spotter out of town to shield him ( Continued on page 6). JUDGE HAMILTON REVERSES RULING IN PISHING USE Judge J. W. Hamilton Ibis after noon reversed his decision of yester day In the ense of Bert Taylor and Hugh Pearson, Indicted on tho charge of illegally fishing at tho Winchester dam. Ills first decision was that the statute under which the indictment was drawn wiib defective, and the in dictment dismissed. His second and final decision Is that the statute Is applicable to the charge against the defendants, and he has placed Uielr case back nn the docket. A date for trial has not yet been Bet. Tho question was raised originally by Attorney W. W. Cnrdwell, counsel for tho accused men, In his argument in support of a demurrer to the In- dlctment. He contended that the atntute did not make It unlawful to fish within the ICOO-foot limit of the dam during the closed season with tackle other than hook and line, simp ly because 'the snme law prohibited foul hook fishing during the open season. Judge Hamilton at first bub tnlned him. This morning, however, the court announced that It had looked Into tint question further and enmo to the conclusion that the statute did make It unlawful to fish with foul book during tho closed season, na prevails now, within the 1600-foot limit, and thereupon over ruled the demurrer. Judgo Hamilton's second decision Is In accord with a previous opinion furnished to the state game warden hv the Attorney-Oenoral. The Indefi nite wording of the statute Is gener ally recognized, however, and It Is said the present Legislature will be asked to amend the law so that there can be no further conflict In Its In ternretatlon. Judge Hamilton's cor- - ecttng decision will have the effect of stopping a lot of fishing that has been in progress since his first ruling COUNT V DIVISION SCHEMERS ARE ON DECK sAOAIN.
