ment of Food Dictator.
M)NIX)N, Dec. f The government
crisis found a aulu'loii tonight which
up to (ho hour of lis announcement
hud been considered the b-unt prob
able of practical tlii-rnutives. Her
lert II. Asqulth rcalnii-d tho premier
ship, wlillic he has h'-M through eight
stormy years of domt"tlc and foreign
hltitoty.
The I'nlonlst lead-r, Andrew Ilouar
l.aw, was summoned to tho palace Im
mediately after Mr. Asqulth had do
parted and the klnc offered bim the
prime minister's commission, which
he had Just accepted from Mr. As
qulth's hands. ,
No announcement regarding Mr.
Donor Iw's decision nus been made,
and there are some doubts whether
he will accept the heavy responsibil
ity. If ho declines. It la considered
certain that the honor will fall to
David l.loyd Ueorge. The continuation
of the coalition cabinet, with some
changes in its membership and the
speeding up of the war management
ill be the poll'' nther event.
The premler'a decision to resign and
advise the king to summon Andrew
Itonar Law to form a cablnot was tak
en after a day of extraordinary politi
cal excitement and activity. There
were constant comings and going of
the political leader between Dowu
lug street and the various government
departments. s,
Mr. Asqulth met several Unionist
leaders In consultation, Including Earl
Curzon, Lord Robert Cecil and the
Earl of Derby.
It now I remarked that when Mr.
Asqulth was asked in the house of
commons yesterday if a rood dictator
had been appointed, he replied sharp
ly: "I don't like a food dictator."
There Is much talk tonight of the!
possibilities of a general election. Mr.
Ilonar Law would first form a cabi
net. If he takes office, aa It is neces
sary thut the government be carried
on, and then appeal to the electors for
a ratification of his administration.

SALEM, Ore., Dec. ii. The State

more than tho rules named In a fran
chise, the supreme court held this
morning In a decision in the case of
the city of Woodburn against the Pub-
lice Service commission and the West
ern Tolephone company. In other
words the franchise of a city la ot no
effect when the stnte wishes to exer
cise Its authority. The supremo court
holds that the right to regulate rates
Is essentially a police power.
After the consolidation of the Uni
ted Tolephono company with the West
ern Telephone company, the Public
Service commlslson a year ago direct
ed that the Western company charge
a specific schedule of rates and it
was contended that these rates were
in excess of the ones named in the

WILSON'S THIRD TERM
II
EX-BOSS OF TAMMANY HALL SAYS
ALL PARTIES WILL UNITE
IN HIS ELECTION.
NEW YORK, Dec. i. President Wil
son will be elected to sorve a third
term, in the opinion of Richard Croker,
one-time boss of Tammany, now resi
dent of Ireland, here on a brief visit.
"He will serve a third term and
serve it with the support of Republi
cans and all persons who ure inter
ested in good government." said Crok
er. Ills wife, one-time Indian prin
cess, smiled her assent with the senti
ment. "It is imperative thut Tammany hall
recruit to its ranks new blood men
of tho younger generation who have
Interested themselves in politics,"
Croker said.
"Who are they?' he wus asked.
"Well, when I was head of the or
ganization, the Irish-American element
was the dominant factor. Today, I am
told, the Irish have moved up town.
In their places have come the Jew and
Italian. The latter are good citizens.
Hut neither, speaking politically, are
devoted to the Interests of one or the
other party. They are interested in
social Justice and the social welfare
more than they are in political ques
tions. "As a consequently they don't vote
blindly. AH of which means, to my
mind, that it's harder to be a boss of
Tammany hall today than It wus when
I, as the newspapers said, dominated
affairs at Fourteenth street."
ALCOHOL CASE CONTINUED
On motion of the state the trial of
John Doe Farmer, Paul Wyman and
W. V. Hamlin, orginally set for to

WASHINGTON. Dec. 4. Congress
reconvened today for a three months'
session, with a ca'endar overcrowded
with general legislation, facing rail
road reforms and the high cost or liv
ing as new Issues, and confronted with
unprecedented estimates aggregating
Jl, 654, 819,654 to meet expenditures of
the government for the fiscal year
1918.
Iloth houses adjourned early as a
mark of respect to the late Senator
Clarke, or Arkansas, and Resident
Commissioner Rivera, of Porto Rico,
both of whom have died since the Sep
tember adjournment.
There will be a Joint session In the
hall of the house tomorrow to hear
the address or President Wilson, which
will contain recommendations for leg
islation sought by the administration
before the sixty-fourth congress dies
March 4 next. That railroad legisla
tion to supplement the Adamson act
will be urged by the president as the
most Important problem is generally
expected.
Leaders of both houses will endeav

will bo held as soon as the president
indicates his desires. Resides railroad
legislation, there Is strong public de
mand for some legislative action to
curb the soaring prices ot foods.

"that he saw- Tony and Sam fighting
on the porch and that Sam was try ing
to take a gun away from Tony, and
Tony shot him."
Parsons telephoned word ot the

Sheriff Hurlburt and Sheriff Wilson,
being on doubt whether Mayberry sta
