/ Oregon Emerald VOL. 20. EUGENE, OREGON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1919. NO. 56. Nasty Lies About University Cost Defendant His Liberty. PAROLE IS PROMISED HIM ON HIS GOOD BEHAVIOR Prisoner to Serve Thirty Days First; not to Resume Publishing. James Fullerton, convicted by a jury in circuit court of publishing libelous statements about the University of Ore gon, was sentenced by Judge Skip-worth this morning to serve one year in the Lane county jail. This is the maximum sentence under the law for the single count on which he was tried. In passing sentence, the court took cognizance of the jury’s recommendation for leniency owing to the age of the defendant, and announced that the prisoner would be released on parole after 30 days. Pending good behavior he will then be allowed to remain at liberty. H. F. Slattery, counsel for Fullerton, in addressing the court, asked the mini mum sentence of a $3 or $10 fine. Dis trict Attorney L. L. Hay's recommenda tion for the sentence was EubffK'tlially followed by the court. Questioned by Judge Skipworth as to whether he would resume publication of the medium in which the criminally ob jectionable articles appeared, Fullerton answered no. t While the jury was out four hours be fore bringing in its verdict, it was stated by one of its members that only one bal lot was taken and that the time was spent in discussing the matter of leni ency. During the trial Fullerton failed to bring a single detail to substantiate his charges of immorality at the University. On the other hand, the University’s showing of clean moral conditions and competent supervision was thorough and complete. PUPS ON CASUALTY LIST Belgian Hare Goes Calling; Battle En sues; Dogs’ Owner Sues. A kennel of prize pups and a Belgian hare caused a lawsuit. The plaintiff had a kennel of puppies which he valued high ly and he kept them in a wire coop in the back yard. His nexifcloor neighbor had a large Belgian hare which was also sur rounded by chicken wire. The hare is tame and gentle, so far as known, and the wire fence is supposed to be very strong. The defendant didn’t know the habits of the hare apparently as he never once thought he could burrow under the wire. The rabbit was on to his job. however, so he went calling on the pups. lie wasn’t well received and was much offended. A battle followed with three pups on the casualty list—killed in action. The others were “bitten and clawed se verely.” The owner of the puppies sued to recover their loss. The case will be tried March 11 at the Moot court before Chief Justice .T. B. Pfouts. The attorney for the plaitniff will be H. R. Decker. Lyle McCroskey will plead the case for the defendant. 31. K. ITolland will serve as clerk of the rourt.

Phi Delt Winners. Oregon Club, Pi Beta Phi and Hen dricks Hall were the high point win ners for the women and due to their tie score. Beta Theta Pi. Sigma Xu, Oreogn Club and Phi Pelta Theta sur vived in the men's league at the sec ond round of doughnut debates which were held on the campus Thursday evening. Following the debates, members of the winning house teams met and de cided to have the next series of intra mural debates on Tuesday evening. March 31 at 7:80 o'clock. The women i decided tv use the same question as was debated Thursday evening: "Re solved, That an embittered Germany 1 would be more dangerous inside the Reague of Nations than outside." The i men are going to debate on the ques tion which they used at the first round 1—"Resolved, That the Allies should not Admit Germany to their league of na tions until Germany shall have made restitution and reparation as provided in the terms of peace.” Four Tennis Tie. According to the elimination plan accepted by the house representatives when the men and women's leagues were organized, there were to be only three survivers following the second round of debates. The results of last night's competition in which Beta The. ta Pi made a total of E points; Sigma Nhu, 4 pounts; Phi Delta Theta, 4 points, and Oregon Club, 4 points, dis ■rupted the pre-arranged system of counting. A suggestion was made that the points won in the first round oe included in the totals i.r each of the 4 houses in order that one might be eliminated. This was found to be an inadequate remedy in as much as it gave two of the houses S points and ' the other two houses 11. As the prop continued on Page 2.)

The wounded men with whom we work are so cheerful and gay, so eager for any help that will restore them to normal life and so grateful for what little we do that we enjoy our work.
