URGE LIBRARY FUND Court Asked to Provide $500 to Open Library to County Health Unit Is Favored. The annual meeting of the Doug las County Taxpayers League was held today at the court house with an excellent attendance. Practic ally every part of the county wa well represented and much Inter est was shown. The county office committee was the first to report recommending that there be " no change made from the amounts allowed the vari ous offices and departments npon the tentative budget. The commit tee reported that they had careful ly investigated the budget and be lieved that the amounts fixed by the commission to be in the proper amounts. The report was then thrown open to discussion, each office being treated separ ately. In the circuit court fund Judge Hamilton objected to an item of $900 for district attorney stenog rapher. He made it plain that he did not object to the amount but that It should be charged against the district attorney's office and not the circuit court James Sawyers, county treasurer, "asked that his allowance for a dep uty be continued. He has former ly been granted $900 for a deputy, and In the tentative budget the amount was cut to $600. He point ed out that his office has assumed a great deal of work In accepting money direct from the tax office to be put out on a dally balance basis, resulting In a large amount of Interest being received which otherwise would be lost. Upon his showing of facts concerning the op eration of his office the league went on record as favoring the pay ment of the full amount of $900 for a deputy in the treasurer's office. Sheriff Starmer requested the reconimendation of the league for the appointment of an extra deputy In the sheriff's office. In his budget he had included $2,000 for this pur pose, but the amount was cut to $1,000. He states that since the state has added all the temporary onto license work upon the sheriff's office, and has also withdrawn much of the money received from fines in liquor violation cases, that the work has been greatly Increas ed In the office, while the receipts are less. During the past fifteen years there has been no increase In the budget for the sheriff's office, he states', despite the fact that the prohibition law has doubled the work. It has grown to a point where one man in the field cannot do the work, demanded of him. He read budgets from other counties, where conditions are much less difficult to meet than In Douglas county, but where the sheriff's force Is much larger and the budget higher. Without any opposition be ing expressed the league went on record as favoring an' appropria tion of $2,000 to pay an extra field deputy. The school committee reported that they favored the adoption of the amounts provided for school purposes as outlined by the bud get committee. Considerable dis cussion, however, centered around the office of school supervisor for which no provision was made. It was decided to approve the budget without change and call for a refer endum among the school district directors on the matter of continu ing the office. Dr. C. H. Bailey presented a recommendation that the county court appropriate $500 for the Rose burg public library. At the pres ent time the library is open only to residents of the city, and rural residents are required to pay a small fee for the use of books. Vnon an appropriation of $500 for library purposes the board has agreed to allow the free use of the library to all residents of the county. After considerable argu ment, some opposition being ex nressed bv residents of distant communities, the recommendation was adopted. Thes. Items of business carried the session up to the noon hour. The meeting convened again at 1:30 p. m.. with the attendance bet ter than during the morning, some Interesting discussions being ex pected during the afternoon hours.

T GERMANY RELIEF Proceed Evacuation 6f Rhineland by Allies Next. rAanriated Pros hM IRn.) BERLIN. Nor. 28. President Von Hindenburg today signed the bill passed by the reichstag yes terday, ratifying the security pact and arbitration treaties negotiat ed at Locarno. BERLIN, Nov. 28. Germany has written the peace treaties of Locarno on her statute books and now rests her hopes In anticipat ing an era of good will so far as her relations with ber western and eastern neighbors .are con cerned. Chancellor Luther and Foreign Secretary Stresemann will depart for London tomorrow to be pre sent and with the representatives of the other interested countries officially sign the documents. The adoption of the Locarno hill 291 to 174, In the reicbstag late yesterday, was due to the widespread conviction that econo mic expediency made ratification indispensible. This argument prevailed over lack of evidence of readiness on the part of allied governments to ameliorate the conditions of the occupation of the Rhineland. The enactment of the Mil will enable Germany to enter the Lea gue of Nations, Frank expression was given to the hope that Germany's relations with Soviet Russia would con tinue on a basis of political amity and cordial economic relations. With political animosities elml nated from her relations with France and Belgium by virtue of the security pact and arbitration treaties with those nations, it is believed in political and industrial circles that Germany now Is in a better position to give thought to her economic Interests in Russia. When they arrived In London to sign the treaties, the German delegates will give the allies no tice that the German people are Impatient over the measures of concessions accorded Germany by the allies and will seek to have them enlarged.

(Amclittd Ma Leued Win.) WHITE PLAINS. N. Y., Nov 28. The Rhinelander trial neaiing Its end finds young Leonard Kip Rhinelander again under the strain of the proceedings to annul his marriage to his dusky wife, Alice Beatrice Jones. Judge Isaac N. Mills, counsel for Rhinelander. says be Is eager to expedite the case which is telling on bis client. The ordeal also Is reported to have brought Rhtnelander's wife to a point of nervous breakdown. The suit Is the main topic of conversation here and gossip cred its Isaac N. Mills with a plan to Introduce witnesses when the trial reopens Monday whose testimony will be more sensational than any yet Introduced. Mr. Mills refused to comment on this beyond saying that he did not plan a lengthy cross-examination of the dusky wife, Alice Jones Rhinelander, or her father, George Jones, who are expected to be the next witnesses. It is predicted that Mrs. Rhine lander's counsel will ask ber if she still loves and is willing to effect reconciliation with the husband who deserted her a month after their marriage last year, upon pub lication of tht fact she had negro blood. She Is expected to answer In the affirmative. Counsel for both sides declined to comment on a rumor that the father of Mrs. Jones' white daugh ter, brought over from England 29 years ago, is now a prosperous bus iness man living near Poughkeep sle, N. Y. Kip Far From Broke. Mr. Mills laughed at the report that Rhtnelander's fortune of $300,000, a legacy from his grand father, had nearly all been spent In prosecution of the trial. "I have no Idea that he spent anvthing like $300,000," Mr. Mills said, "and 1 certainly got very lit tle of It." Mr. Mills hopes for an early con clusion of the case. "The strain Is telling on my client and he Is aclng rapidly." he said. "Ho Is almost broken hearted over the case, and feels deeply the humilia tion he has undergone. If 1 did not know that he Is only 22. I would take him for a man of at least 35." Counsel for Mrs. Rhinelander ex pects the rase to reach the Jury Tuesday afternoon, unless the plaintiff Introduces surprise wit nesses In rebuttal.

RUIN LANDER General White Replies To Attack By Religious Paper Against American Legion (Asorbtrt m Uurd Wirt.) SALEM, Ore.. Nov. 28. Attacks on the American Legion made in the November 19 issue of the Chris tian Century, Chicago publication, and condemnatory resolutions of the Omaha council of churches, are unjustified and unfortunate, declar ed Brigadier General George A. White, one of the founders of the American Legion in France, when asked today for comment on the attacks. He was asked if in his opinion there was any basis for the Christian Century's contention that the American Legion has reached "the parting of the ways" as the result of alleged disorders at the recent national convention. "Denunciation of the American Legion by the Christian Century, based on resolutions of the coun cil of churches at Omaha, "because of allegations that some of the del egates at the national Convention were drunk, said General White, "is just as narrow and unjustified as would be a denunciation of churches by the American Legion based on charges that some pillars of the church drink on the sly.
