This makes mandatory a Jail sentence for the first offense, in addition to a fine of not more than 13000. The jail sentence may be from 30 days to one year, or It makes It optional with the court to send a man to the penitentiary from one to three years in addition to a fine of not more than $3000. or the second offense a felony sentence Is mandatory, the penalty being from one to three years in the penitentiary with the addition of a fine up to $3000. These are probably the most dras tic prohibition laws yet passed In any state, or at least it is believed here the entire prohibition code as now enacted, comes the nearest from the standpoint of laws at least, to making Oregon a genuine "bone dry" state than any other state In the union. To make the bootlegger still more harmless Senator Hall introduced a bill which passed both houses, mak ing It a felony for any person to unlawfully manufacture or sell any intoxicating liquor, which such per son is armed with a dangerous wea pon, and this extends to all persons who are assisting in such manufac ture or sale. By this series of bills an effort Is made to provide drastic penalties to apply to the handling of liquor In any manner whatsoever from me time the mash is prepared with which to make whiskey, through the process of its manufacture up to the man who carries it around, to sell, or is caught in the act of selling. At least these laws, in conjunction with the old code, seem to cover ev ery conceivable avenue of attack which may be made upon anyone re motely connected with the business of handling booze. To toD them off the legislature did not forget the enforcement part of the program, and pasBed the Eddy senate bill wnicn places u the hands of the governor, vasiiy more comprehensive agencies, with greater ramification than tnat oi flclal ever was armed with before, and the governor declares he will use It to the last dollar, in iaci the governor has declared open war on the bootlegger, only asking that he be given the weapons to wield and the ammunition to load them with. The Eddy hill provides that 25 per cent of the flues collected from convictions of violators of the pro hibition laws shall be turned Into the state treasury to be used by the governor In hiring special agents with which to enforce the prohibi Hon laws. This fund cannot become rreater.' the law provides, than IZft nnn in anv one calendar year. The hntnncA nf the fines goes to the county and can be used for the em ployment of special agents by the district attorneys of the county court aj fit. This offers the moBt formidable array of nrohlbltion law enforcing agents whose organization was ever attemnted bv the state.

McDaniels was accused of striking sirs. Emma Mday and her sister, Mrs. Price, and waa found guilty and fined $15 and costs. The case started, it was shown by the testimony, over a cow. Mrs. N'lday allowed her cow to run loose, according to the testimony, leaving It on a vacant piece of property near her home. McDaniels objected and when the cow got Into his yard Mrs. McDaniels tied the animal up. Mr. McDaniels came to the house and moved the cow to a new loca tion Just as Mrs. Nlday came to get the cow. McDaniels refused to allow the woman to have the cow and a fistio encounter resulted. McDaniels said that the woman led the flnht and that she cursed and beat him, using a heavy chain quite viciously. He says that he did not strike her, but oflly shoved her back for his own protection. Mrs. Nlday, on the other hand, alleges that he stcuck her with his fists. - Mrs. Price, a sister of Mrs. Niday, also Balled In to the battle and was struck she claims. McDaniels on the stand admitted tying up the cow and holding It from Mrs. Nlday. He sayB he told her he would keep the animal until he could settle with her husband. When Mr. Nlday came later in the day. following the encounter, Mr. McDan iels allowed htm. to take the cow. When the case was presented to Justice of the Peace George Jones It was shown that McDaniels under the law had no right to tie up the cow and refuse to give it to the own er when she came for it. Assault It was shown can be merely a threat with the physical ability to carry out the threat and does not necessarily Include the striking of a blow. Upon this showing lof the law the court fined McDaniels sis ana costs, A request made by Mrs. Nlday tnat McDaniels be placed unaer peace bonds was dented. The state was represented in tne case by District Attorney George Neuner and the defendant uy Attor ney Carl Wimberly. Jllln ulwllinilV ill,'ll,i1i, F hi, til.

Feb. 13. Officers and committees of the Lane County Credit Association are bustling around these days adding finishing touches to preparations for entertaining the nine teenth annual convention, of the Ore gon Stale Retail Merchants' Asaorla tlon which opens here next Monday morning. The convention housing committee of the local merchants' association la arranging to take care of five hundred delegates and every detail for their convenience and comfort la being at tended to. -eral nw features Introduced this year wilt contribute, It Is expert eu, to a much larger gathering than In any previous year. Among these Is the circumstance that both the state association, from Its headquar ters in Portland, and the local mer chants' association here, have been urging the delegates to bring their wives with them this year. The local ' organization has formed a ladles' aux iliary for the special purpose of pro viding attention and entertainment for the visiting ladies. Another feature of the convention which la entirely new this year Is an educational program put oa by the School of Business Administration of the University of Oregon. Previous ' conventions of the Oregon Retail Mer chants' Association have been held In Roseburg, Marshfleld, Astoria, Salem, Portland. Medford, La Grande, Hills boro and elsewhere, but never before In Eugene. Taking advantage of the holding of Ihe 1923 convention In the city where the University of Oregon Is located, he merchants In co-noeratlon with Ihe authorities of the University have arranged for a regular course of lee tnr4 and discussions on the most mdf"Ti methods In retsl! business. Btlll another new feature this year snd this ope Is re parried as of prime Importance Is the segregation of the merchants at the convention Into trade grouna. Each group will rive attention to tonics of the greatest practical Importance to the members nf that grntin, these topics being at the same time of relatively small in terest to the other groups. ...
