MATTER UP FOR LEGAL
Deputy Distript Attorney Stipp Now
Wrestling With Law, and Will
Give Interpretation in
Near Future
la a circus a "place lor amusement"
and if it is does it come under the
provisions of section 2125 of Lord's
Oregon Laws, which prohibits "any
store, shop, grocery, bowling alley,
billiard room or tippling house" be
ing open "for purposes of labor or
traffic" on Sunday, and which also
prohibits any "place of amusement"
being open on Sunday. The only ex-.,
ceptions are "that this does not ap
ply to theatres, keepers of drug
stores, doctor shops, undertakers,
livery stable keepers, butchers and
bakers."
The Question is now puzzling Sher
iff E7 T. Mass and Deputy District
Attorney Livy Stipp, who have had
the matter brought to their attention
by the Rev. Drs. Ford, M'lilliken and
Landsborough, all of this city, who
Saturday called upon the sheriff and
informed him that a circus was billed
to show just to the north of the city
limits on a coming Sunday in the near
future, and who called upon him to
stop it. Sheriff mass replied to the
ministers that he would put the mat
ter up to Deputy District Attorney
Stipp, and would abide by his opin
ion. The circus is dated up to show on
the marshlands north of the city,
near the spot that the special pure
water committee of the council has
had two test wells sank in search of
a supply of drinking water. The min
isters object to the circus offering its
attractions upon the Lord's Day, and
think that Sheriff Mass ought to stop
the performance, which they believe
will be in violation of the state laws.
Mr. Stipp has not yet given Sheriff
Mass a ruling on the case.
Other attorneys, well versed in the
law, and whose opinion has often
been asked by public officers, say
that they presume that a strict in
terpretation of the law will bar cir
cus performances on Sunday. They
add that as theatres. are the only ex
ceptions set forth,, the law could prob-
aDiy aiso oe mvoseu againsi ue
Oaks, an amusement vesort near Port
land, which does it greatest business
on Sunday. However, as to the right
of the sheriff to prevent such a per
formance, they differ widely.
One attorney, when discussing the
matter gave the following opinion:
"As I understand it," he said, "the
sheriff can make an arrest if he sees
a crime committed. I doubt, how
ever, whether he can, in an official
capacity, warn a circus not to per
form on Sunday, any more than he
would be acting within his powers if
he was to go out and warn a burglar
not to break in and steal. If the
sheriff has authority to believe that
a circus performance on Sunday is a
violation of the law, and if he is
present when the violation is commit
, ted, he can arrest those who violate
the law. But as to stopping a circus
from performing, I do not think he
can do it except by arresting the per
formers as they attempt to go
through with their various acts."
This interpretation of the law,

So great - is the rush of citizens to
register for the forthcoming election,
to be held on August 16, that County
Clerk Mulvey's office is swamped,
and in spite of the services of an ex
tra deputy, the clerical' force is hav
ing difficulty in keeping up with the
press of business. Ii is apparent
from the rush of people to get their
names enrolled upon che voters' poll
that there is a general desire to ex
press an opinion as to whether or not
guilty of the charges preferred
against them by Ed Olds, W. H. Hage
mann, M. J. Brown, and other leaders
in the recall movement.
Many of those who register declare
that they are doing so in order to
vote for the retention in office of the
officials against whom the recall is
aimed. While there may be some
who are intending to vote for H. S.
Anderson and J. W. Smith, the candi
dates put forth by the recallers, they
are not making . their intentions
known when they register. That the
vote will be decisive, however, is in
dicated by the very general interest
shown in the coming ballotting.
A very large proportion of those
registering are women, the "new cit
izens" evidently being eager to exer
cise their right 6f suffrage, and to go
to the polls and vote as their convic
tions dictate. The fact that many
women's clubs have invited Judge
Beatie to speak before them and to
reply to the charges made against
the county court demonstrates that
the women of the county are deeply
interested in the movement. Practi
cally everywhera the judge has N ap
peared he has been greeted with
hearty applause when his remarks
were ended, and this is taken as an
indication that the women generally
have not been much impressed by
the charges preferred.
Leaders of the recall movement
were busy as bees iu a broken hive
Saturday, following te extensive cir
culation on the streets of the report
that H. S. Anderson, recall candidate
for county judge, was going to be
pulled out of the race by is employ
ers. Every effort was made by the
leaders of the movement to run down
the report and ascertain whether or
not it was authentic. Saturday night
the secretary of the concern for
which Mr. Anderson is sales agent
said to The Enterprise that he had
no interest whatever in the political
fight, and that as far as the company
was concerned, it made no difference
to them whether Anderson went into
politics or not. Anderson is employ
ed by the Clear Creek Creamery com
pany. The general interest in the recall,
and the large registration that is be
ing made, show that people in gen
eral are aware of the brief time yet
remaining for this work, and that
they are taking the advice of not de
laying in the matter. All those who
have not registered should remember
that the books close at five in the
evening on August 1. and that the
time to register IS NOW.

Raised from a watery grave after almost a century and restored to the nearest possible senium uce of her pristine
self, the historic brig Niagara, refuge of Commander Oliver Hazard Perry at the battle of Lake Erie Sept. 10, 1813, is
sailing the waters of her youth, a veritable ghost of the seas. She is the big attraction of the Perry centennial. It
was to the Niagara that Perry fled when his shot battered flagship, the Lawrence, was sinking at a critical moment
in the memorable conflict with the British -which resulted in an American victory when defeat seemed certain. Man's
ingenuity has achieved a wonderful triumph in remodeling the distinguished centenarian, whose visitors at the vari
ous, lake ports to which she is being towed marvel at the reproduction, faithful to minute details. Even the old guns

VISITS OUR CITY
Tom Kay, himself, otherwise
knnwn to fame as a special investiga
tor and state policeman serving di
rectly under the orders of Gov. Os
wald West, honored Oregon City with
a visit Saturday, and spent much of
tha time walking about the streets in
earnest conversation with a local
pastor. Just what was worrying
Thomas did not develop, but. it was
rumbred that he was hearing a re
port of moral conditions and exchang
ing confidences along the same line.
In the course of his visit Thomas
asked Justice Sievers to set a date
for the arraignment of . Almonde
Salience and Jeanie duPain, two
women arrested with four alleged par
asites in the recent raid at Milwau
:ie. The women were released from
jail the night of the raid upon $50
bail each, and have not since been
seen by Thomas and Portland offi
cers, who are industriously looking
for them. Thomas confided to Jus
tice Sievers that he- didn't expect
them to appear for trial, but thought
that their bail could be forfeited.
Justice Sievers has set Tuesday at
two in the afternoon as the time for
their hearing.
The women, if they appear, will be
charged with a form of vagrancy,
Tom swearing to the complaint Saturday.
STAR-GAZING PARTIES
POPULAR HEREABOUTS
Interest in astronomy has develop
ed at a remarkable rate in this sec
tion recently, perhaps due to the
early appearance this year of the van
guard of the August meteoric shower.
Almost any night these days parties
gather for the observation of the
skies, and in many instances prizes
are offered for those who see the
greatest numjber of celestial fire
works. Aside from the more formal
gatherings called to study the stellar
marvels, there are also the usual
number of summer "star-gazers" who
follow the ancient custom of keeping
count of the meteorites by osculatory
oys.

With the entrance of Rumania into the present Balkan strife, having taken arms up principally against Bulgaria, the Sublime Porte has tak
en advantage of the situation and ordered her broken army to remarch on Adrianapole. According to vague re . ports the much besieged eity was cap
tured with very little resistance on the part of the Bulgarians, who only had a small defending force. This picture, taken during the Bulgarian
march on Adrianapole, shows one Jt the many trenches that the Turks remained in for many days, and were almost starved out before the com
bined allied dash, while defending the now recaptured city. . . ' . , - .
