Convincing and Brilliant Argument Made by Attorneys for Plantiff
Holding Medford's Charter Nullifies Local Option Law in City
File Brief Wednesday and Decision Will Be Rendered Saturday.
The action hreught by J. C. Hal! in the circuit court to restrain the
enmity court from declaring tho city of Medford dry is attracting widespread
attention all over the county. When tho caso came up before Judge Haumi
Yesterday a largo crowd of interested spectators gathered to hoar the nrgn-'
meats of the opposing counsel. The pl::intiff was represented by It. G. Smith
and Judge K. E, Kelly, while District Attorney A. E. Renmes ami Judge Colvig
represented the defendants.
11. G. Smith of GrantB Pass presented the ease for (he plaintiff and intro
duced a long line of authorities in support of the Medford charier, Mr. Smith
read from the opinions of lending textbook authors and introduced the de
cisions of many supreme courts where similar charters hnvo been sustained.
REAMES SATS PROCEDURE ILLEGAL.
When Mr. Smith had concluded his argument Judge Oolvig took up t In
defense for the adherents of a dry town. The judge admitted that the plain
tiff had made a strong case and stated that he had boon called into the ease
at a late hour and had had no opportunity to go into tho law books for author
ity with which to combat plaintiff's contention. He requested and was grant
ed until Wednesday in which to prepare and file a brief in reply to the brief
filed by plaintiff.
District Attorney Reames followed Judge Oolvig for the defense and
stated that he understood the adherentH of a dry Medford had oinployed special
counsel and, assuming and understanding that they desired to be represented
by their own attorney, he had given the ease no preparation nor had he pra
pared a brief, but in his opinion plaintiff was pursuing improper remedy and
that injunction in such ens? woudl not lie for tho reason that an adequate rem
edy could ho had at law. Ho thought the proper procedure for the wets
would have been to refuse to close July 1, and then fight the case in the
courts.
CHARTER REPEALS LOCAL OPTION LAW.
Mr. Smith stated in his argument that the only question involved was
tho legal efl'oet of the provisions of the charter of Medford relating to the
prohibition and sale of liquors and whether the same superceded the local op
tion law within the city. He quoted supreme court authorities to show that
the injunction is the proper remedy for the plaintiff to invoke in local option
eases. ,
Numerous authorities were quoted to sustain the various points made.
The plaintiff contended that thero is nothing in the constitution to prevent pass
ing a local or special law prohibiting the sale of liquor within any city in the
stato, and that the language of the charter in effect repealed the local option
law in the city limits.
Whenever two laws are conflicting, Mr. Smith stated that the courts have
ruled that the one passed last repeals he earlier by implication, especially
when it is plainly intended as a substitute for the old act as in the present
case.
"From cases cited it appears to be settled without a doubt in this state
that a prohibition law may bo made a local law, or that a locality may be
exeoptetf from it and from its operation," said Mr. Smith. " The decisions
also show that the charter amounts to a repeal of the local option law as far
as Medford is concerned. There is nothing in the constitutional amendment
adopted iu liKlti, which gives cities the right to make their charter, and takes
this power it way from the legislat are that in any way repeals or amends
the Mod ford charter.
MEDFORD AND CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
"This constitutional amendment does not revive the local option law in
Medford. There is nothing in the language of the amendment which repeals
any general or special laws; all that it does repeal is the constitutional pro
vision relating to the forming of municipal corporations. There is no inconsis
tency between the amendments of the constitution ami the charter of the city
of Medford.
"The local option law has been held to be a criminal law," continued
Mr. Smith. " Hy act of the legislature, Medford is excepted from its provisions
and it does not apply to tho city as the constitutional amendment could only
refer to criminal laws within the sphere of uperation of the same. Tt does not
extend to the operation of any criminal law. If does not carry any criminal
law into any territory where it is not already operative. It does not affect
toe criminal laws relating to the sale of liquor by amending or repealing them
any more than it does the eriminnl law relating 1o larceny.
"The language nf the Medford charter has refernce to the local option
law and no other law. As a result of an election held under the local option
law one-half of tho city wan dry and one half wet. This absurd condition was
intended to be corrected by the new charter, and it was passed for that pur
jwige, and the legislature, not content lo confer upon Medford the power to
license, regulate and prohibit the sale of liquor irrespective of any law enacted
by -the people at large, expressly repealed all laws of the state, general or
special, that in any way restricted tho power of the city of Medford. As a
result, the city has since licensed the sale of liquor iu that part of the city
which voted dry.
CRIME IN ONE COUNTY, NOT IN ANOTHER.
"The supreme court has held in the case of Fonts vs. frond Itiver Hint tin
local option law might be n local ou, that it could bo made applicable by
tho legislature to any part of tho state or any county or part of county. The
constitution contains no language . which inhibit the' legislature from making
laws relating to the sale or liquor applicable tn laws, in the whole Writ
er any part lesa than the whole state.
"In Oregon acts can be made criminal in different parts of the state that
pro lawful in other parts. Take the gnmo and fish laws, when it is lawful
to kill certain kinds of game in one county and prohibited in another.
"The local option law itself is a shining example nf the right to make cer
tain nets a crime in one locality which may be lawful in the adjoining pre
cinct. If there wan any inhibition a ga i nst declaring a n v act to be criminal
except by general laws, then tho local option law would ho unconstitutional and
void in every part.
"In the ease of Kenshuw vs. Lane eounty. the toiprcme court said that
the charter for the city of Eugene pass, d February, lito.", did not operate mo
as to repail the local option law within the city limits of Kugeni, fnr the
easou that the new charter iu so far as it related to liquor traffic was but a
epetition of the earlier enactment, identic! in 'language with the old charter
If the local option law could not be repealed so far ai a city was concerned,
by a subsequent special charter act, the court would eertabily have so said in
that case. The court based its decision upon the insuuVjencv of the lan
guage of the Engine charter to show au intent to repeal Jho local option Inw.
There is no comparison between the two charters."
Mr. Smith concluded by quoting n long list nf authnritns.

BAKER CITY
FEELS QUAKE
People Rolled Out of Bed by
Shock Badly Frightened Felt
Fifteen Miles from Town.
BAKKK CITY, (Jr., June lit. People
living in this city or within a radius
of lo miles fear that a repetition of the
distinct earthquake shocks that rolled
some of them out of bed early Friday
morning and rattled dishes from shelves
is in store for them.
This fear is intensified by the pres
ence today of heavy clouds of smoke
hanging over the Cornucopia mountain
range, which was severely shaken by
l he shocks. The people were so
t horoughly frightened that they are
ready to believe that even smoke is the
forerunner of an earthquake. The shocks
were the most severe iu the eastern
part of linker county, though they were
distinctly felt at Halfway, liichmond,
Wallowa county, 1 roudike ami other
points. The sky over Halfway and ltich
mond was lighted up with a purple
tint, which increased the fears of the
populace. Miners at work at the time
were so terrified that they ran to the
open air and have refused to re-enter
until they feel that all danger has
passed. At first some older hends
thought a magazine had exploded, but
all of them were found intact.
THREE HUNDRED SURVIVORS
OF OREGON INDIAN WARS
POKTLANI), Or., June 111. There are
;to0 survivors of the Indian wars left.
lthough the official count has not yet
been made, it was figured that there
wero "fully (hat many gathered In the
con venlion hall of the veterans' asso
ciation at the annual meeting this week.
Considering the fact that scarcely a
man in attendance upon the convention
is under 70 years of age, the number of
survivors and their goneral health is a
remarkable testimonial to the strength
ami hardihood of the early pioneer and
the healthfulness of the north Paeifie
.oast country.
The first day the veterans devoted
most of their time to a discussion of
the Hayes pension bill, putting Indian
war veterans on a footing with those
of the civil war. The delegates with
their wives and the widows of Indian
war soldi era were given an elaborate
luncheon by the Sons mid Daughters of
Tndian War veterans.
New officers elected Grand com
maiider, Alexander Coffee; senior vice
coruiuander, Harvey Scott; junior vice-
commander. Captain A. 13. Stuart; grand
adjutant, Otto Klremau; grand paymas
