WITH
REPORT
OP MTU AND IN
. URGED BY JOHNSON
Declaring that whn tha government
lieeda soldiers It conscripts Ihein with
out giving the men any option In tlie
matter, (but that when It needs money.
It aake for volunteers to give tha use
of their money at 1 per cent, Dr.
Andrew Johnson of Philadelphia Tues
day evening strut k a responsive rhord
In the bearta of tha 2000 persons who
listened to the first lecture ot the
present lllay Chautauqua aeaslon
whli -b. opened today. lr. . Johnson
hastened to eiplaln that be strongly
favored the rolisrrlpllve method be
cause be asld "Any man who Is not
resdy to give bla Ufa for thla country
la not entitled to lta protection."
The afternoon session today was de
voted o outlining tbe proposed courses
of lectures and study within tbe small
er circles of the Chautauqua and mak
ing tha preliminary aunounce menu.
Jack Larson, ajinployed aa ticket
salesman at the Thirteenth atreet auto
entrance, waa overcome by what be
rlalmnd was the effects of the sun's
rsys. He wss revived after emergency
first aid was given blm by visitors In
the park.
In bla decidedly humorous lecture
entitled, "Ell and Ennla" Dr. Johnson
shows that the, progress of much of
the world Is apparently blm-ked by the
failure to distinguish between service
and money atandards. In brief, Dr.
Johnson's contention Is that In the1
1'nlted States we put the dollar mark
on everything. We evaluate the Uvea
of men In dollars and rents, by con
scripting men, whereas when It comes
to raising money we depend on sub
scription. Why not conscript the mon
ey aa well, be asked, and tbe response
from the crowd waa answer enough.
That there are four channels through
which wealth may be gained, waa the
statement made by Dr. Johnson. Itesl
estate, he aaya, puts a premium on lail-
nets by encoursglng people to bold
property and allow It to Increase In
value without the expenditure of
either effort or money upon It.
The trusts were hit hard by Dr. John
son who said that no matter what you
had. If you bad enough of It and had
corner on It you were sure to make
handsome profit. That the 60 billion
dollars of stocks, bonds and Industrial
securities In the United Statea la over
two-third a water waa another charge
made by the speaker, who concluded
bla address by appealing to the nation
In this hour of external peril to remain
loyal to Itself and to the world.
The attendance at the oponlng ip
slon was estimated by Secretary Thom
as A. Durke of the Chautauqua associa
tion to approximate 2000 persona. Fol
lowing the oponlng words by Chair
man C. II. Dye, Hartrldge Whlpp sang
My Own United States," and the Lyr
lo quartet gave several selections.

Hedges Wins Decision In
Famous Wilbur Liquor
Case In Supreme Court
In upholding Circuit Judge Camp
bell's decision In the famous case of
the State of Oregon versus Julius Wil
bur, the Supreme Court Tuesday con
firmed the constitutionality of most
vital aoctlon of the 1916 prohibition
law, and Incidentally addod another
scalp" to Gilbert L. Hedges' long
string of county victories before the
supreme bench.
The higher court found, In effoct,
that Section 33 of the prohibition law
is constitutional, In that It does not
require that the name of the person
to whom liquor is Bold be mentioned
in the Indictment. This waa the point
ralHod by ex-Senator Fulton, counsel
for Wilbur, on demurrer before Judge
Campbell at the time of the trial last
fall, when Wilbur, then proprietor of
the "Friar"! Club" was convicted of
selling liquor.
Judge Campbell overruled the de
murrer on the state's contention that
Section 33 wai constitutional. The
decision Is of far-reaching importance
because it settles once for all ,a very
vital question in the prosecution of
liquor violators.

Interstate commerce law, according to
n decision handed down Monday by
Federal Judge Charles F. Amldon.
and Deputy Tom A. Burke prepared
an exhaustive brief on the point at is
sue, when Wilbur appealed, and went
carefully through all similar cases of
all the statea. The case waa argued
about three weeks ago at Salem by
Mr. Hedges, and on account of the
importance of the point at Ibbuo At
torney General Brown aBslBted with
the argument.
In the lower court last fall Senator
Fulton contended that the section was
unconstitutional, under the constitu
tional provision that every accused
person shnll be advised of the nature
of his crime, arguing that where the
indictment falls to states to whom
liquor Is sold, the defendant can have
no knowledge of his accuser.
After overruling the demurrer the
trial proceeded with a resulting con
viction of Wilbur. Judge Campbell
sentenced him to six months In jail
and a fine of $300, and execution was
stayed pending appeal.
The district attorney's office receiv
ed a stream of congratulation! from
Portland and Salem Tuesday when the
decision was made public. The first
to congratulate Mr. Hedgea was At

IS DANGEROUS OVER
WASHINGTON. July 11. With the
freah delays resulting from substitution
of a milder food bill In the senate and
an agreement to vote thereon July 21,
President Wilson today was confront
ed with Herbert Hoover'! direct warn
ing that delay Is now perilous.
Radical revialon of the food bill,
now before the senate agricultural
committee, will strip the measure of
its present prohibition statu!. It will
be left with a provision to forbid dis
tillation of spirits, without providing
for selxure of present stocks, while pro
hibition of beer and wine will be left
up to the president
Hoover's warning anant delays char
ga that there has been "rampant"
speculation and extortionate profits
this year among those who barter with
America's food supplies. Stability of
prices Is needed, be says. Inasmuch
aa every link la the food chain Is tak
ing a wide profit as protection against
abnormal fluctuations.
Hoover pointed out this nation will
have a theoretical balance of 78.000,-
000 bushels of grain this year, with
180,000,000 through conservation.
The situation at present with no
checks npon it works 111 to the fanner
and consumer alike. The farmer, be
aays, gets only $1.51 for that which
commands $3.25 In Chicago.
Hoover auggeats tne possibility of
Internal troubles If prices continue to
soar, and urges that speedy enactment
of food legislation should be taken.
With the date for a vote set at July
21, five weeks will have elapsed since
the measure first went to Congress,
while the food survey bill has been
mulled over since June. President Wil
son is 'manifestly disappointed at the
delays. He will probably call In cer
tain members of congress and use his
personal influence with them to check
further dalliance.

ESTABLISHED M
bKUPS ARE
8ALEM, Or., July . Communica
tions which have been pouring Into
Governor Wlthycombe from various
sections of Oregon Indicate that the
menace of the L W. W, which has
been felt with an Iron hand la other
sections of the country. Is advancing
on to Oregon with the threat of crip-
, pllng Industry, terrorizing labor and
throttling manufactories if possible.
Writers of soma of these letters,
who the governor declares, are as lev
el headed business men as any found
In the state, declare that the people
are not alive to the conditions which
threaten Oregon at the dawning of Its
great Industrial awakening.
One Eastern Oregon manufacturer
asserts that advance guarda of the In
dustrial Workers of the World, who
are pouring Into his section are mak
ing open boasts that they will cause
strikes, tie up Industries and "kill or
disable workers who refuse to join
In the move."
In addition word has come to the
governor's office that threats have
been made to burn the Eastern Oregon
wheat fields and drive the workers
from the fields it necessary.
Added information states that the
emissaries are being sent into this
state by the score, with the express
purpose of fomenting strikei and labor
trouble! and nip in the bud reviving
trades.
"The situation from the information
which has been coming to me, is alarm
ing: much more alarming than the peo
ple realize," said Governor Wlthycombe
today. '
"I want the citizens of this state to
become alive to the fact that this L
W. W. movement Is a real threat a
menace that Is confronting us. ,
"No man has more kindly feelings
toward the honest laborer than I, and
none believes more firmly In the max
im that the laborer is worthy of his
hire.' But I have here literature,
which is a part ot the propaganda of
this order, which shows that anarchy
Is Its dominant spirit 'To fan the
flames of discontent" is a motto which
appears In this literature, and complete
abolition of the wage system Is flaunt
ed as the great desire which these men
wish to attain.
"They are not workers; they are not
laborers, but they are anarchists. They
stand ai opposed to law, order and
government and are aligned against
all laws, both state and National.
"One of their prime object!, I am
certain, ii to choke the life from the
Infant shipbuilding industry If they
can accomplish It
"My information leads me to believe
that these men may be backed by some
great organized movement which is
against the national life and independ
ence ot the United States.
"Whatever this office can do, under
the law, to crush this menace will be
done. But I want the people of Oregon
to become alive to the fact that It Is
a menace; that it Is the intention ot
these so-called Industrial Workers of
the World to strike and to strike hard
at Oregon's industries during the bal
ance ot the summer.
"My correspondence convinces me
beyond the shadow of a doubt that
there is a real danger here which
threatens this state and we should
prepare for it What these men can
do is being demonstrated in other
states, and I trust that Oregon will
prepare itself in time to guard against
any inroads which they might contem
plate here."
