10 END HER LIFE
North Roseburg Woman
Attempts Suicide in Fit
of Despondency.
CONDITION IS SERIOUS
Effort to Break Old Habit
Caused Nervousness and
Depression According
to Husband.
Mrs. Sam Heinken, a resident of
East 6th street, today attempted
suicide In a fit of despondency. Ac
cording to her husband Mr;. Hein
ken has been endeavoring to breaK
herself of the habit of using suuff.
and the ending of the habit caused
her to become nervous and despond
ent. This morning she drank a
large quantity of lysol, and became
unconscious within a few. minutes.
Although efforts to save her life
were promptly made, It Is feared
that she will not survive the sul
clde attempt.
According to Mr. Heinken his
wife has been a user of snuff for
several years, and that she has
made frequent attempts to break
herself of the habit On each occas
ion, however, she has beeu left ner
vous and despondent She lias also
been subject to spells of heart
trouble and sickness, so the.t these
tpells of despondency became of a
serious nature.
This morning, he state;, she ap
peared to be suffering from renter
inental depression than usual.
"Sam, I wish you would stay
home today, Mr. Heinken says
his wife requested.
Jlr. Heinken Is employed at the
Roseburg Ice company pltiul a ''"I
has work only every other week,
so that he says he fell that lie
could not afford to stay nt home.
"I was Just getting reurty to
leave the house," the husband said,
"when I heard a ecullar cougn and
gasp. "Then I saw her (Mrs. Hein
ken) holding a cud In her hanc and
kind of weaving back and foiUi. I
knew what she had done, and got
her In on the bed and then tried to
get help."
Mr. Heinken called Mrs. Phl'llp3.
who resides next door, and she im
mediately responded, and together
they gave antidotes, to counteract
the poison until the arrival of Dr.
Hoover, who at once took steps to
remove as much of the poison as
possible, and give remedies to save
the woman's life if possible.
Although suffering intensely this
morning, Mrs. Heinken still insist
ed that she wanted To die, and dur
ing periods of consciousness begged
those attending her not to attempt
her cure.
The poison burned her very se
verely. Dr. Hoover reported and ex
cept for the prompt work ot her
husband and the neighbors she
doubtless would have died before
he reached her.
Her condition Is very critical and
she may noC survive the attempt, it
Is stated.
Hrs. Helnken's daughter, Mrs.
George Berry, has been called from
Cottage Grove where she has been
employed since leaving thU city a
few months ago.

STATE HOUSE, Salem.
Feb. 24. A fight put up by
Senators Joseph and Eddy
Monday caused house bill 405.
by Representative Pierce, to
be referred to the fisheries
committee of the senate when
it came up for final passage. e
The measure Is a code bill
and among other things au-
thorlzes the employment and
licensing of alien fishermen
at the mouth of the Columbia
River and changes the fish- e
ing season in various
streams.
Eddy discovered that a
change was made in the Ump-
qua river season. He assailed
the committee for not con-
suiting him about that fea-
ture of the bill and charged
that the committee had listen-
ed to one voice, that of Carl
P. Shoemaker, asserting that e
Shoemaker was a czar who
Insisted that his voice should
be the law.
Senator Staples, chairman
of the committee, said the
Umpqua fishermen had been e
heard and that Shoemaker
did not appear.
Senator Rltner moved that
the bill be re-referred so that
Eddy might be heard.

laid in a fashionable hunting com

to the conclusion that this noted
personage and her friend Is the
same person. Believing so she
greatly admires and Idolizes him.

OI.YMP1A, Wash., Feb. 24. The
supreme court today barred Elmer
a. Smith, Centralla attorney on
charges of having' advocated and
approved sabotage, syndicalism and
general violation of laws as a
means of social reform
A mi jorlty of the Judges signed
the opinion two dissenting.
The charges are based princi
pally on speeches which Smith Is
alleged to have made In 1919. In
w-hlch he Is said to have advocated
a general strike to "'paralyie all
the Industrys of the state" In or
der to secure freedom for certain
prisoners tn state penitentiary.
The majority opinion Quoted a
number of excerpts from certain
literature said to be sponsored by
me tnoustnai workers of the world
and said to have been distributed
at gatherings before which Smith
spoke. Referring to the literature
the court said:
"In his public addresses, of
which he has delivered a great
number throughout the state, un
der the auspice of the Industrial
workers of (he world, the litera
ture of that organization was cir
culated among his listeners which
teaches both sabotage and crimin
al svndlcnllsm as a means of en
forcing industrial changes. The
defendant could not be, and the
evidence shows that he was not,
unaware of the fact that this was
done, and there is no reason why
he should not be charged with all
the responsibility that usually fol
lows an abettor of a criminal
act."
The opinion denounced the I. W.
W. literature. "This literature Is
vile." the opinion snid. "It advo
cates many serious crimes as the
means or carrying out the pur-
poses of the organization and ways
nre pointed out how the act can
bo accomplished with the least pos
sibility of detection."
Smith violated his oath as an at
torney, the court declared. In advo-
i eating these principles.

of law examiners were filed In the
supreme court more than a year

Mackintosh wrote the majority
opinion which was signed by
Judges Main, Hrldges, Fullerton.
Mitchell and Holcomb.
Jud?e Parker wrote a dissenting
opinion, whlrh was concurred In
by Chief Justice Tolman, who de
clared they could not "read In this

meaning as the brethren Joining in
