The first of the Jackson county nightriding cases that of Dr. Jouett P.. Bray was Hart In the circuit ei-H this after noon, upon the conclusion ot a minor civil action. Attorneys and principal for both defense and prosecution ex pressed a desire to have the cases come to trial, and both spent yester day and this morning making ready for the selection of the jury, which, according to Assistant District Attor ney Liljequfst. will take the greater part of two days, with a prediction that it would lake five days to hear the witnesses. There were persistent reports that the defense was endeavoring to re tain as counsel John Collier, former district attorney of Multnomah coun ty, and B. F. Mulkey of Portland, a former Jackson county prosecutor and one time head ot the state normal school at Ashland. J. F. Hale, the central figure In the kidnaping anh hanging episode of March 17 last, arrived last night from his home in San Diego, Cal., to testify at the trial of Bray. Arthur Burr, colored, arrived yesterday from Cali fornia. He Is said to be the chief witness against laoward A. Hill and Bert Moses and was the principal In the Slsklyous affulr. The chief development of Monday was the arrest and arraignment of Tom Word, department of justice agent, charged with being "Intoxi cated in a public place," and Word's statement that the arrest "is a frame up to discredit my testimony In the coming Klan trials." Word was ar raigned before JuBtlce of the Peace Taylor late Monday afternoon, and was released on his own recognizance. Word was the federal Investigator who gathered the evidence ;n the cases.

The deceased was 7 8 years of ace at the time of his death and had been an inmate of the soldiers' home for on ly four months. Mr. Freeman was an old pioneer resident or Douglas counly and had lived tn Kosenurg (or several years, where he resided In North Koseburg. He was a vet eran of the civil war ana a niemwr of Company t , Kegiment ot me Mirsourl cavalry, rleveral children survive him and a niece who resides in Reedsport. The funeral will be held tomorrow at 2 o clock at the soldiers' home cemetery. INSPKtTIXU HOADM. County Roadmaster Floyd Frenr and Commissioner Edwin Weaver left this morning for Elklon and other points In that vicinity on an inspeeilon of roads. Th"y msy go to Reedsport to Inspect the work b.f Ing done on the new highway. Frank Scott a&uaed of a statutory churge, brought by bis 13 year old step-daughter, was sentenced to a ' maximum sentence of 2U years. This is the minimum sentence provided by law, which provides a penally of from 20 veara lo life for this crime, but as Scott is 52 years of age, it will prob-1 provocative ably be a life sentence if he Is re quired to serve out the term. A motion was made for a new trial today by Attorney Abraham, who was appointed by the court lo represent the defendant. The new trial was asked on the ground that new evi dence has been Introduced to change the defendant's case and that such evidence was procured following the trial. On the trial the girl claimed that Scott was the only one contributing to her condition, while the defense ac-1 cording to to affidavits entered into court today, claimed lo be able to prove that according to ner own aa m.sslons she had assumed intimate relations with others prior to the mar riage of her mother to Scott. Several affidavits were introduced tending to show that statements had been made by the girl while on the stand that could be refuted by the new witnesses lu the event of a new trial. After considerable argument, how ever, the court overrulled the motion. It was shown by Judge Hamilton, that the state ln presenting Its case based the prosecution entirely upon one art ailhoueh a succession of such acts were shown on the part of the defend ant to prove disposition, but that the Indictment charged an illicit relation Uon one particular occasion and that any other arts of a similar nature at other times had no bearing on this particular case. The fact that others inluht have also had unlawful relations Willi the girl would not lessen the guilt of the defendant, Julxe Hamil ton stated. The law provides that the Jury must determine the facls of the case, and that if any new facts ore """" " " "T. ,h .hlnnlns board : Attorney be granted ai tne o scret.on "V" , , ,,hVr v: Jess Smith, a friend cull.. ll in u"i V ' .-.'-- ... K.h th law. however, to grant a new trial up-1 not In" on evidence which Is merely linpea' h-1 Pr'"" . ln In character and which would only serve to discredit a witness and not bring out any new and . material facts. For 'his reason the motion for a new trial was denied. In iMsslug sentence Jurtise Hamilton staled that the case had been trll fairly and that a responsible Jury had i thoroughly Investigated tne case ann had arrived at a unanimous derision, snd although there niicht be some difference of opinion on the part of individuals that Scott had been found gulltv after being accorded every privilege of law. The sentence of the court was the lowest that could given under the penalty provided. Scott, following the passing of sent ence said: "I'll never live through It. Twenty I years to me means life. I have only ' ons request to mske of th" court. ' When I am dead I want to be bninaht hack and buried beside my beloved wife at Myrtle Creek."

Needs of the School Aside From Beautification of the Surroundings Were Told by Several Students That the high school Is to have a lawn and other Improvements waa heartily assured last night when the Parent Teachers' Association held a meeting fur the purpose of discuss ing the matter. The program was taken charge of by the student body and It proved to be very lulerestiui; and proMtable. The first speaker representing- tho student body waa Phil Singleton, president of the Junior class, who spoke on the beautifying of the lawn. Mr. Singleton pointed out the improvements necessary to make the lawn one of the most attractive tn Ihe slate. He offered the suggestion that since coal was cheaper than wood for the (urnacea It .would be a good plan to get rid ot the wood pile on the west side of the building. Glenn Radabaugh, president of the Associated Student Body, spoke next on, "What the P.-T. can do In Im proving the building," pointing out the poor lighting system In the audi torium; the much-needed stage equipment; the necessity for chair and dictionaries In the class rooms; the need for a ventilation system la the gymnasium and the Installa tion of new books in the library. Carmen Atlerbury, president of the Girls' Club, was the next speaker. Miss Atlerbury took the subject of, "Developing Soclul Ac tivities." and made a very Interest ing and comprehensive speech, em phasising the fact that there is a great need among the students of high school age for training along social lines and urging that the high school was a good place to receive training In etiquette. Following this same trend ot thought, Luclen Cobb, president of the senior class, discussed the sub ject, "Making the high school a so cial center." Mr. Cobb's . speech proved to the parents and ' teachers that It was possible to make the high school building the social center of Roaeburg. Alter surveying present conditions in Roseburg, Mr. Cobb of fered suggestions along the line ot putting the high school Into actual use. James McCllntock. alumni of the Roseburg high school, concluded the spee. hes with a talk on what he would like to see done lu the high school. A general summary of tho preceding speeches was followed by Mr. McCllntock's Ideaa regarding Improvements. The primary Idea of Mr. McCllntock was to get the four departments ousted from the clrrl- culum lasl year back in scnooi. me P.-T. showed Itself to be in accoru with that Idea.
