about two-thirds of the vote usu
ally cast at general elections, and
usually slightly more than one
halt the totul registered vote.
, Roseburg precints reported
lieavy voting all day, the Sunday
closing issue being the chief fac
tor contributing to this condition.
. During the early morning the up
town precincts had a heavy vole,
ns people were on the streets for
the parades and took Occasion to
vote. The polling places in the
residential districts, however,
were much lighter in the amount
nt votes cast, as the people were
for. the greater part attending the
rarnivnl attractions.1 It is antlci
fmted, however, that the vote in
town will be heavier than at any
primary election in recent years.

Coolidge's Order Gives
Local Officers Federal
Authority For Dry Law
(Associated Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, May 21. Addl.
tlon to the federal prohibition
staffs of state, county and munici
pal officers was made possible to
day under an excutlvo order Issued
by President Coolidge. ,
This move, made at the request
of Assistant Secretary Andrews in
charge of prohibition enforcement,
is expected by him to augment the
federal dry forces greatly.
Prohibition officials . plan to
place the. local officers on the fed
eral staff, perhaps as dollar a year
men, since they will be servlug as
federal officers in addition to their
regular duties. '
While local officers in ; most
states and cities are already coop
erating with federal government in
the enforcement of prohibition it
was said' at the treasury, today's
action will clothe them with full
federal authority.
It Is believed by Mr. Andrews
to be a big step forward in the dry
work. .
How soon Mr. Andrews will take
advantage of his authority and the
exact extent of the scope to whicli
he will put it hns not been decided.
The plan was first suggested by

BILL BY 51 VOTES
Congress Now Considering
2 Other Agricultural
Measures That May
Be Combined. '-
(Associated Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, ' May " 21.--The
house today , defeated -the - Haussgjii
farm relief bill carrying measures
designed to ' stabilize agriculture
prices.
: The vote was 167 to 212. ' - '
' A form relief bill combining the
Tlncher credit plan' and the Curtis-
Aswell commodity marketing pro
posal has been prepared by Repre
sentative Aswell, Democrat, Louisi
ana, and a special rule making It in
order will be sought.
The Tincher and CurtiB-Asweii
bills has" been offered to the
house as substitutes for the Hau
gen price stabilization bill.
Under the rules now enforced
the two alternate measures must
be offered as originally drawn and
those seeking to combine them are
convinced that their efforts would
be defeated by preliminary rules
unless these can be. changed.
Meanwhile friends of the Haugen
bill are preparing to fight the new
move, contending the two measures
must be considered separately.
As soon as the house convened
Representative Tincher, Republi
can, Kansas, withdrew his bin to
make way for the Aswell measure.
The bill proposed to authorize an
appropriation of 1,175,000.000 and
levy sales fees on basic farm com
modlUes to be used to handle the
farm crop surplus.
Its defeat, accomplished under
the leadershlpinent of Rankin, Re
publican spokesman In the house
and in accordance with the ap
parent desires ot the administra
tion, leaves congress Just where It
began weeks ago in its effort to
agree oh farm relief legislation.
Two other farm bills, the Tinch
er rural credit aud Aswell commo
dity marketing measures, are on
the house calendar, but where a
majority can be mustered for eith
er of tliein remains debatable.
An effort to combine features of
these two into a compromise bill
now is under wny.

' The wrestling tent at the Kline

t? near-riot last night as a sequel
fall , bout between the larger ot
the two mat men with the shows

a pupil of Sailor Jack Wood, well
known light heavyweight, who
nlso' figured In the night's per
formances. For a time things
looked squally, but the coolor

serious disorder us averted.
.Barrett's opponent, who out
weighed him at least fifteen
pounds,' fastened an unbreakable
head scissors on the Grants Pass
man after about eight minutes of
rough going, and Barrett pound
ed the mat as a token of defeat.
The hig fellow failed to heed this

the rules of the games, Indicates
that a fall has been registered

jSome of the spectators wore In

hot words were exchanged. The
peace element prevuiled. however,
and the show proceeded without
further trouble with Putil Amort
acting as referee.
After Bhrrett'a defeat, the big
fellow and Woods grappled for
the time limit of ten minutes
without e'thor man getting u full.
As might be Imagined from the
unplensantnoss in the preceding
bout, the battle was not a gentle
one hy any means., but there was
.to slugging or Berlous infractions
ot wrestling rules. It is quite
nrobnble that the two men will

program yesterday. Without ques
tion or doubt it was the biggest
and best Bchool parade ever seen
In Roseburg, evidencing more or
Iglnallty in costuming and more
unique Ideas than have ever before
been seen In a parade or the kind.
The members including more than
1,500 youngsters from the city and
nearby rural schools, brilliantly
clad In costumes representing

oh Ink bottles, made a decidedly
effective division.

The Kiilli'rtoii school entry was
not only attractive, but it was
humorous as well. Led by Ihe

Children representing boxes of
berries, youngsters clad In sacks.
