and lay down on the bed.
Tapp Gets lloiistful.
"Doug began to tell me about
making moonshine and boast about
getting away from the officers. He
said the law put him out of business
and broke up his barrels of mash.
He said if they had come a Utile
later they'd have got him too. 'I've
lived In the woods all winter; I'm a
fugitive from Justice and G d it
I'd Just as soon kill anybody I'd
even kill you,' he said, and with that
he grabs his rifle and shoves it
against my stomach. I grabbed the
barrel and shoved It to one side Just
as he pulled the trigger.
Fight for Gun.
"I tried to get the gun away from
him but I couk n't. He was bigger
than I was and he kept shoving me
back against the wall. All the time
he was cussing jjie and saying he was
going to shoot me. Finally he shoved
me loose but I fell back against the
wall and I got hold of my own rifle.
Tapp Is Killed.
"I started to pull It up but I didn't
even have time to get It to my
shoulder. He stuck his gun at me
and mine hit It and Just as they came
toother mine went off and Tapp
staggered over nnd fell across the
bed. Freyer was too drunk to know
what was going on-, but as soon as
Tapp fell he pot up on his feet nnd
propped himself up against the wall.
'My God. Young, this is awful,' he
says. I didn't know what he would
do, so I kept my gun pointing at him
and hacked out of the house.

"Roy and I went down to the
Wakefield place, and I told Hoy to
go get Clyde Itydell (the dep'uTy
sheriff at Klkton) and telephone the
sheriff at Koseburg. Roy got Wake
field's horse and pretty soon Clyde
came UP there and we started out at
three o'clock this morning. We had
to walk about seven miles to get
out."
Young ltulieil Out.
Young was hurried out of the com
munity as soon as possible after the
shooting. There are several of the
Tapp brothers in that section of the
county and Deputy Sheriff Rydell
feared the insults of the killing
would probably endanger the life of
his prisoner. The party left the D.

morning, walking part of the way

What Judge Would Do.
When Judge King of Boston refus-!
fd to find James C. McLean guilty of (
keeping and exposing liquor for sale, ,
although a still was discovered In his,
Imrn, he explained that he was not
discharging the prisoner to enrour-;
age the making of moonshine. The.
Judge further said: "In Boston are
many men, some of whom are
wealthy, who are assisted by their
wives In the manufacture of moon
shine. I venture to say that some of,
ur prominent rltlrents. who have
;helr own little stills, might be hid
ing In the bushes when the police ar-1
rive to seize the Illegal apparatus.
If I had one f should probaldy have
done the same."

Foundation Fund
Growing Rapidly
Have you ever thought what would
happen If the women of (he world or
ganized as solidly and enthusiastical
ly to work for peace as they did to
work for war? That same united
patriotism would be a force to be
reckoned wllh in world politics.
Why not work for peace as you
worked for war? You can do it in a
practical way. "Heing practical" for
war meant production for destruction
nnd cut off millions of human beings
from life, from health, from daily
bread.
"Helng practical" for peace means
production for construction and will
build up life, health, and the ways
to make daily bread.
Colonel Isaac N. Lewis, U. S. A.
(retired) inventor of the famous
Lewis gun has said: "I am a gun
man Mv work has had to do with
arms and war and I too, feel that j
great armies and navies and Imple
ments of war must end and end
culckly. There Is no nation today i
that can stand It and there is no na
tion better able to take the lead than
in the United States.
The Wilson Foundation Fund
which started In Roseburg today Is
for the promotion of world peace and
is being carried on In every state In
the union.

APPEALED TO THE STATE SU
PREME COURT FOR DECISION
Douglas County Resident Won Verdict In Circuit Court and State
Board of Health Is Now Carrying Appeal to the
Highest State Tribunal.
l
Will Make Appeal. ,
SALEM, Jan. 16. Following !
the Marlon county circuit court
holding that the state sterlliza-
tion law is unconstltutlomtl and
sustaining the objection of Jac-
oh Cllne of Douglas county, the
state board of health is propar-
Ing an appeal to the supreme
court to ascertain tho validity
of the 1919 statute.
An appeal to the supreme court to
decide the constitutionality of the
Oregon Sterilization law, is to bo
tuktm by the slate board of health
which holds that tho law should re-
"tain in force for the benefit of the
public at large. A tout of the law
) was made by Jacob I'line, who was
, ' 111 lo i-""-iui.n j uum w.-o
county after he had been proven
guilty of having had Intimate rela
tions with a young girl at Glendale.
When brought under tho provisions
of the sterilization law, he employed
legal counsel and took the ense Into
the circuit court where It was decid
ed that tho law was unconstitutional,
this decision being handed down by
Circuit Judges Bingham and Kelly of
Marlon county, who held that the
; statute enacted by the legislature of
1 1919 Is defective In that it seeks to
; ilenrive persons of life, liberty and
property without due process of law.
In violation of section 1 of the 14th
amendment of the constitution of tho
United States.
The Judges In this case declined to,
rind the law unconstitutional, as was
the 1917 statute, because It defined
"certain persons," such as feeble
minded or criminal degenerates. In
their decision Judges Kelly and
Hlngham said:
"Judge Field has construed Ihe
term 'life,' as hero used, saying that
It means something more than mere
animal exlstance. 'This inhibition
nL'alnst Its deprivation,' he fa id. 'ex
tends to all those limbs and faculties
by which life is enjoyed.' The depri
vation, not only of life, but of what
ever God has given to everyone wllh

the operation proposed herein, would

"There is no provision for com
plaint, Information or indictment,
motion, demurrer, answer or plea and
none expressly Imposing the affirma
tive of the Issue upon either party.
"The provision that an Informal
notice of appeal, filed with the secre
tary of the said board, either by the
person or some one In his behalf,
shall be all that Is necessary to make
the appeal, Impress us as an Indica
tion that the matter should be treat
ed informally and without the safe
guards demanded by the importance
of the issue to be determined.
"Moreover, the statute does not
state which court shall entertain an
appeal. It merely states that 'Any
such person may take an appeal to
tho circuit court.' There are many
circuit courts in the state. No meth
od Is provided by statute for deter
mining which one is the appellate
tribunal In these cases.
"We realize that, if a trial, after
due notice, before an Impartial tri
bunal, having competent Jurisdiction
is provided, even by way of appeal
only, the constitutional guarantee is
preserved, and that an appeal from
the Judgment rendered after such

the cases created by tho statute In

en the person most vitally affected to
