HATCHET BLOWS
RAIN ON SKULL
ORIENTALS FIGHT IN CAR ON
CANBY SIDING AND ONE IS .
SERIOUSLY INJURED
EACH ONE TELLS OWN VERSION
Sheriff Does Not Believe in Story of
Highbinder's Work and Thinks
Fray Merely Result of
Quarrel 4
Hatchet blows rained on the head of
Wong Yeng by Wong Bow injured the
skull in two places and almost killed
the Chinaman Thursday morning when
the two were sleepers in a, car an the
construction line of the -Portland, Eu
gene & Eastern at Canby.
Wong Bow is now in the county jail
awaiting preliminary action to be tak
en against him for the- assault but
the case will be continued until Yeng
recovers enough from the wounds to
be ab'e to tell his story.
Yeng claims that he was asleep in
the car when Bow, his bunkmate, at
tacked him. He marie an effort to
get to the door but as he tried to open
it, the other rained blows on his head
and body with a hatchet., Bow, on
the other hand, says tha( Yeng was
trying to open the door to let a high
binder into the car to kill him and
that he merely beat Yeng in his own
game.
Sheriff E. T. Mass, who made the
arrest, does not believe the story of
the highbinder and thinks that the two
merely had an argument over other
matters that lead to the fight. That
there are hatchet men in the country,
the sheiff cannot believe and he
thinks that the case is merely one of
a brawl between the two orientals.
Dr. H. A. Dedman, of Canby, dressed
Yeng's wounds. His examination of
the man showed that the bones of
the skull have been injured in twp
places and that the wounds might
prove serious ones. Though Yeng was
able to board the car for Portland
Thursday afternoon, he was still in a
serious condition and the investigation
into the trouble will await his recovery
from the wounds.

MOTH HAS BEGUN
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Ore., Sept. 11. Moths of the
root and crown borer, (Bembecia
marginata). are very active now fly
ing among loganberry, blackberry and
raspberry canes and depositing eggs
on the under surface of the leaves,
and should be caught and destroyed,
according to Professor A. L. Lovett.
assistant entimologist of the Oregon
Agricultural College Experimental sta
tion. The moths are clear winged in
sects, (eesiidae), not unlike robust
' wasps in appearance. They have nar
row, clear, brownish w-ings, a black
and ycTow head and a robust abdo
men with alternate rings of yellow and
black.
Their eggs are brown, approximate
ly onasixtenth of an inch in length,
and somewhat resemble a large radish
seed. The egg should be destroyed
wherever found, he says. .
Upon hatching; the young larvae
crawl down the cane to the surface
of the soil where they enter the bark
and incyst until spring. Then then
proceed to feed and work, tunneling
down and around the cane, causing
it to weaken and die.
Growers are advised to go over the
fie'd, making ' careful observations of
the canes and crowns of the plants
ilust at the surface of the ground
Wherever canes are blighted or where
little heaps of worm wood and fraas
are found, the infested canes should
be removed. This will disclose the
tunnel of the borer, and by cutting
away the- bark for a short distance
into the crypt, the elongated white
borer is revealed. All borers should
be cut out and destroyed.
ENGINEER DOES NOT
LIKE WILSON POLICY
GLOUCHESTER, Mass., Sept 11.
harp criticism of President Wilson's
method of handling the Mexican siua
tion was voiced today by John Hays
Hammond, anntimate friend of form
er President Taft. He spoke at length
before the annual outing, of the Essex
county board of trade, saying in part:
"In order to stimulate the" Invest
ment of capital in foreign lands, it is
pre-requisite that the investor be as
sured of protection by his government
against any unfair or discrimination
on the part of the foreign government
where those investments are made."
Hammond of late years has been
consulting engineer of the Guggen
heim smelting and mining interests,
his reputed salary for his services be"

It is thought by many that he con

result of his trial before th impeach

Governor Sulzer "recently pardoned
Robin . upon recommendations from
District Attorney Whitman's office in
New York.. Evidenca uncovered since

innocent. The penitentiary . warden,
however, refused to Telease Robin,
contending that Sulzer had been auto

impeachment by the legislature. Ro
bin's atorneys then sought his release
by habeas corpus - proceedings, but
Justice Hasbrouck denied the applica

COUNTY
POSH!
DR. VAN BRAKLE APPOINTEE!
OVER PROTESTS OF DOCTORS
IN COUNTY SOCIETY
WILL FIGHT CASE TO THF FINISh
Court of State for Final Determi
nation as to Legal Fea-
tures
"The Clackamas County Medical
society will ignore the appointment"
said Dr. M. C. Strickland, a prominent
member of the society Thursday even
ing. ."Dr. Van Brakle cannot legally
serve; he is not a physician; he can
not rightfully prescribe a dose of salts.
The physicians will simPly ignore his
appointment."
Clackamas county has the unique
distinction of being one of the first
in the United States to have1 an os
eopath at the head of its health forces
Dr. J. A. Van Brakle was appointed
Thursday afternoon by County Judge
H: S. Anderson to fill the ; vatfancy
caused by the removal of Dr. J. W.
Norris by the state board ofhealth. :
The action of the county judge came
as the result of the refusal of Dr. W.
C. Schultze to accept the appointment
and followed shortly after the judge
discovered that the other physicians
of the city did -not propose to accept
the place and had decided that only
Dr. Norris was to have it .
Must Make Selection -
A study of the law showed the judge
that the appointment must follow im
mediately after the death, resignation,
or removal of the county officer anl
that it contemplated that there should
be no interim between the bid and
the new official. As soon as hs learn
ed tha other doctors of the city would
lot accept the place and that they were
all determined to have Dr. Norris se-.
lected, he made his decision and de
clared that the vacancy would be fill
ed by Dr. Van Brakle.
The new county health officer is a
praouaie or to American ocnooi oi .
Osteopathy at Kirksville, Mo., and has ,
WCU, lV.t 11 .J . tU Ul UJ 1.11 1 1 W
gon state board of medical examiners.
He has been In the city for the past
two years and has practiced, before
that. time, in Ashland, Ore.
The state' law requires the health-
officer to be a resident of the county
seat and to aav his office there dur
ing his term. It prescribes that he
must be a graduate of a ranking medi
cal institution at the time of his ap
pointment. v "
Judge Given Power
- The county judge Is given the ap
pointing power during vacancy in of- -fice
while the law requires the county
court to elect the. health officer in
the first instance. If, however, the
officer is removed, dies, or resigns,
the county judge alone is given the
authority to make the appointment for
the remainder of the unexpired term.
Dr. Van Brakle is secretary of the
Oregon Osteopathic society and has
been identified prominently with the
work of the organization to force rec
ognition among medical men. He has
taken an active share' in the work on
eugenics and has delivered lectures
before various societies and organiza
tions on that subject
- Society to Fight .
.The Clackamas-jCounty Medical so
ciety will contest the appointment, be
fore the state board of health and the
matter will probably be finally carried
to the stae supreme court for deter-"
mination. - t - . "
Dr. Van Brakle contends that any
one who can pass through the exami
nations of the state board -can- prac
tice medicine and that he is qualified
for the. office under tha provisions of
the law. He welcomes the appointment
and believes that he is capable, with
the training he has had, to give tha
county the service that the law expects
from the health officer.
- The medical men, however, believe
that the .position of " health officer
should be filled by one who has stud
ied the subject of bacteriology and is
qualified to handle contagious diseas
es. . They contend that the doctor has
not studied the subjects that his posi
tion requires und that he will not be
able to discharge his duties under tha
laws of the state.
Planned Campaign
Before the .appointment and after
the medical men of the county has dis
covered that Judge Anderson wou1!
not appoint Dr. Norris on their recom
mendation, thej planned to circulate
a petition among the neonle of the
county and to present as many signa
tures as possible to ths county court
in support of their contention that the
former officer is the man for the place.
tney Deiieve -that Dr. Norris has
spent the greater part of his life in
the service of the city and the coutny
and that he has given up a great deal
of his private practice in order to at
tend to the. county business. In view
of this, they have believed that he
should be given the place and that
he would be the one who, of all of the
doctors of the city, could devote his
