CANBY, May 9. The prospects are
bright for a new cannery in Canby,
for plans are under way for the es
tablishment of such an enterprise by
a Mr. Doty, of Portland, who has had
much experience in that line. At pre
sent time he is engaged in such a bus
iness in Portland, specializing on pre
served fruits. For several days Mr.
Doty has been in Canby looking over
the situation, and if such a plant is
established here, he may occupy the
building near the Southern Pacific
railroad which was built for a cannery
a number of years ago, and was later
used as a strawberry plant packing
house and then turned into a cream
ery. The building has not been used
for about two years.
Many of the residents of this sec
tion of the county have devoted much
of their time to growing strawberries
and other small fruits, and if Mr. Doty
decides to locate here, he is to special
ize on preserving berries.
The business men of this city are
encouraging Mr. Doty to establish his
cannery here.

MR. AND MRS. BAIR ILL
At the regular noon luncheon of the
Booster Club of Canby held at the
Kozy Korner store Tuesday, the
majority of the members, there were
about 24 attending, were in favor of
establishing the automobile park at
the Clackamas County fair grounds,
and the matter is to be further taken
up with the county court.
At the present time the fair grounds
are rented to owners of race horses,
who have been wintering their horses
there. One of the owners of the
horses, stated that he does not object
to that portion of the grounds at pre
sent used as a grove being devoted to
aax automobile park, provided that a
dividing fence be erected between
that part and the spot where his
horses are pastured.
The county fair grounds are con
sidered to be the best site for the
automobile park, for there is water
piped to the grounds, an attractive
grove, and outbuildings, and but a
short distance from the main highway
which can easily be seen by those
passing over the highway.
There was much enthusiasm mani
fested at the meeting today.

BENNETT STARTS
$1,000 SUIT FOR
ILLEGA1. ARREST
Action Filed In Circuit Court
Against George Titus Result
of Previous Case Dismissed
By City Recorder Kelly.
COMPLAINT FAULTY
IN FORMER HEARING
Plaintiff Reiterates Charge
of False Imprisonment In
Statement Against Officer.
Suit for $1000 for false arrest was
filed in the circuit court Wednesday
by Walter S. Bennett against George
Titus, night patrolman on the Oregon
City police force.
The suit is the outcome of an ac
tion instituted by Bennett in the po
lice court against Titus for an arrest
made on the night of April 29.
The damage suit charges that Ben
nett was "unlawfully and maliciously
assaulted, beat, arrested and falsely
imprisoned."
Bennett was taken into custody on
the night of April 29 at 1:30 a. m. He
was takent to jail, searched and re
leased. He then instituted proceed
ings in the police court charging Titus
with a breach of the peace. The
specific count held against the officer
was that he had shoved a gun into
Bennett's stomach.
When the matter came to trial be
fore Judge Charles Kelly it was dis
missed, partly on the technical ground
that the complaint was faulty. In the
hearing, Titus alleged that Bennett
had made, threats against his life and
that he pulled the gun as a matter of J
precaution wnen .Bennett reiusea to
allow the officer to search him on the
street. Bennett on the other hand
held that the police had it "in for
him" and were molesting' him without
just provocation. Earle C. Latourette
is Bennett's attorney.

F. W. Woolworths, 613 Main St, Ore
gon City. Adv.
The rebuttal of the plaintiff nearing
completion, the opinion was expressed
by both sides- last night that the
$50,000 libel suit brought by Dr. H. S.
Mount against seven local physicians,
will go to the jury some time Fyittey-
Teq of the thirteen witnesses to be
called by the plaintiff in rebuttal have
already been on the stand. The defense
however, is not certain as to the ex
tent of its surrebuttal but their coun
sel is certain that Thursday will see
the final evidence submitted, which
will leave Friday for the presentation
of the closing arguments.
Plaintiffs Case Presented.
The entire session of court yesterday
was taken up with the witnesses by
the plaintiff to give expert testimony
regarding the medical case at issue.
In thier communication to the county
court, the physicians virtually charged
Dr. Mount had drawn incorrect con
clusions from an autopsy, over the
body of Alec DeFord and stated that
the conclusions were a medical im-
j possibility. x
Rhoda Dawson, graduate nurse at
the Oregon City hospital, who had
DeFord's case in charge was called by
the plaintiff and examined by both
sides at length. She testified as to
his condition, but upon cross examina
tion failed to substantiate her state
ments made relative to the man's
temperature, respiration, pulse, etc.
Five doctors from .Portland were
called by the plaintiff to testify as to
the medical facts concerned. Dr. A.
E Rockey, Dr. c. J. Smith, Dr. Geo.
F. Wilson, Dr. A. J. Jiesy and Dr. An
drew c. Smith were questioned at con
siderable length as to the possibilities
of death from a septic condition with
in 31 hours, which the defendants, in
their communication, alleged could
never happen.
Technical Questions Asked.
Questions of the defense indicated
that an effort will be made to extri
cate their case from this statement
on the technical grounds that It, in it
self, presumed an impossibility. The
statement read to the effect that "no
person dies from a septic condition
within 31 hours after the infection,
especially where it is not followed by
an abnormal rise in temperature or
fever." The doctors were questioned
by counsel for the defense as to
whether or not a septic condition
could cause death in itself, without
some superinducing cause. The7
stated unanimously that without a
superinducing cause there could be no
septic condition, or infection. The
defense, it is believed, in argument j
TO BIG POLITICAL MEET
Final Arrangement of Detail
On Program of Enterprise
Gathering Still Under Way.
A special invitation to women
voters in Clackamas county to attend
the political meeting which is to be
held Saturday night at the Moose hall
under the auspices of the Morning En
terprise, has' been) extended and the
committee in charge of the arrange
ments for the affair is planning added
accomodations for their convenience.
The program is being shaped slow
ly for the reason that the schedules
of a number of the gubernatorial can
didates include dates over .the state
and rearrangement of several engage
ments will have to be made before
the announcement of the final pro
gram is ready. This will not probably
be available . until Saturday morning
though it is assured that the leading
Republicans will be on hand to ex
plain their views on current problems
and personally outline their plat
forms. The meeting will be the first in the
present campaign, where different can
didates for the same nomination will
speak from the same stage.
Rev. C. F. Williams of Foster, Wn.,
has assumed the pastorate of the
Gladstone Christian church, succeed
ing Rev. B. F. Clay, who resigned to
take up farming at Cornelius. The
parsonage is being renovated and improved.
will contend that the published state
ment was not incorrct for the reason
that technically, it allowed for no su
perinducing cause and thus would not
bring about a condition which could
cause death.
Witnesses Are Called.
A number of witnesses were called
to testify as to minor points in .the
case. Ed. Surfus, night officer from
whom DeFord was escaping when
shot, told of the affair in detail and
Thomas A. Smith, an employee at the
government locks, substantiated the
statements of the defense that the
dead man was in a healthy condition.
He had seen him trucking paper the
day before he was shot, he said.
W. A. Rittenhouse, Drother-in-law of
the dead man testified concerning the
hiring of Dr. Mount to perform the au
topsy In question. . '
The testimony of Mrs. , R- Varley,
sister of the dead man, was ruled out
by the court on the grounds of imma
teriality. Miss M. L. Scott, nurse in
charge of the hospital, was calledd to
the stand to verify record charts of
the patient introduced In evidence.
