JURY Mill AGREE
III BAD MOREY MSE
AGAINST G. S. WEILS
Defendant Accused of Passing
Queer Coin; Witnesses Keep
Moot Court Amused
Small as a dollar may seem in these
days of war taxes, elections and for
mala, one, and a counterfeit at that
was big enough to cause the jury tc
disagree in the casq of State vs. Gor
don S. Wells, which was heard in
moot court last night.
Fred Packwood, the complaining wit
ness for the prosecution, alleged that
Wells, the defendant, did unlawfully
and knowingly pass off on him a spu
rious dollar. This questionable dollai
was given to him by Wells, he said
in settlement of a transaction in
which he had purchased a package oi
cigarettes for the defendant. Upon
tossing the coin at a line on the side
walk he discovered it to be counter
feit and caused action to be broughl
against Wells, stated Packwood.
Coin Expert Testifies
Charles Van Zile, original owner ol
the dollar, testified that it had been
given to him at the business office oi
the University in change when he had
paid a bill. Wells secured the coin
from him, he said, after he had un
successfully tried to pass it off.
The exchange of the cigarettes anti
money waB described by A. D. Babb
when called to the stand. Packwood
gave Wells a package of cigarettes
Chesterfields he thought, although nol
familiar with the different brands, and
In return Wells gave Packyood a dol
lar and received eighty cents in
change. His particular attention was
called to the deal because it was very
unusual for anyone in the law school
to buy cigarettes when one could be
obtained for the asking.
Wanted Money to Jingle.
A^ second spurious dollar was intro
duced by the defense in an effort tc
destroy the state’s case. Gordon Wells
the defendant, said that he had ob
tained this coin from Van Zile for the
reason that he wanted some mdhey tc
Jingle in his pocket and he knew he
could not borrow any real money. He
said that the coin had never left his
possession and produced the defense's
bogus dollar in proof. Miles McKoy
Van Zile, and Harold J. Wells were
the other witnesses for the defense.
After deliberating for a theoretical
forty-eight hours, the Jury was dis
missed as unable to return a verdict
and was paid in the usual movie mon
ey. Tlie big difficulty now is that
some of the professional jurymen who
have been saving their tickets until
they had enough to take their girl
with them, now find that they possess
two bona fide tickets, but one is for
the Hex and the other for the Oregon.
Don Newbury and Norris McKay
acted as attorneys for the state and
H. J. Wells and Charles Crandall rep
resented the defense. H. E. Slattery,
prominent Eugene lawyer, acted as
Judge.

STUDENT RALLY PLANNED
? _
REMEY COX ARRANGING END OF
MILLAGE CAMPAIGN
Four-Minute Speeches in Theatres,
and Open House Set for
Saturday
Four-minute Speeches in the thea
; tree, open house to the citizens of
Lane county next Saturday after
noon, and a student body rally the
night before election are some of the
new features of the campaign for
the millage bill now being carried on
in Lane county under the direction
of Itemey Cox, chairman of the com
mittee. The four-minute talks are to
begin next Saturday and continue
until the 20tli. They will be made
by business men, faculty members
and students.
The open house for the citizens of
Lane county will be similar to the
reception given the Cherrians Wed
nesday They will be invited to visit
the campus and buildings and every
student will be a committee of one
to make their welcome hearty.
Five meetings to promote the bill
are scheduled for the remainder of
this week, and it is expected to make
a final whirlwind campaign next
week continuing until the night of the
20th. Meetings have already been
held throughout the central and east
ern part of the county and the west
ern section is to be covered at once.
Mr. Cox has made many of the
speeches, others who have tal.TE^ for
the bill are Carlton Savage, Ralph
iioeber, Loo Ashcraft, Kate Chatburn
I and Florence Garrett.
! "I feel conlident that the citizens
of Lane county are going to vote for
j the measure,” said Mr. Cox. “Each
place where wo held meetings it was
| the representative members of the
| community that attended and listen
ed to our arguments for the bill and
they will use their influence with
| their neighbors. I want particularly
' to impress this point upon the stu
j dents who are writing letters and
| working for the measure, that it not
only the number they themselves
reach, but the fact that these people
can all influence a like number of
voters, and thus the total number
finally reached will be enormous.” .

and wealthiest nation in the world
today. Education is the item solely
responsible for its present position
as compared with nations such as
Russia. Now is certainly not the
time to slop the reel of education
and wind it back.”
Salaries will take only a compara
tively small share of the millage re
venue, Dyment pointed out. The in
crease in the size of the faculties at
both O. A. C. and the University
made necessary to meet the in
creased enrollment and establish new
departments, together with an in
crease in salaries sufficient to hold
the present faculties together will
amount to but 30 per cent of the 1.26
mill levy each year. The budget for
the institutions for 1921 as already
prepared, he said, provides for an
expenditure of 40 per cent of the
millage revenue in the form of build
ings, which may be considered as
permanent investment to the state.
“May 21,” declared Professor Dy
ment, “will determine the fate of
higher education in Oregon.”
Donald Newbury, chairman of the
student millage bill committee, wel
comed the Cherrians on behalf of
the students of the University of
Oregon, and expressed gratification
for the interest which had prompted
the delegation to make the trip.
“Every student,” declared New
bury, “is doing his utmost to secure
the passage of the bill because he
resizes how directly its defeat will
affect him.”
He pointed out that over 50 per
cent of the student body are either
wholly or partly self-supporting, and
that they realize where the money
goes and what they are getting in
return. That many feel crowded
conditions are making their college
work unprofitable is indicated by the
fact that fully 200 have withdrawn
from the University to take up out
side work, he said.
President Campbell, who is at pre
sent in eastern Oregon, sent his re
grets that he was not able to be
present to greet the Cherrians in
person.
