MORNING ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1913 SPORT DOPE i &.....- ....... .j RITCHIE BEMOANS NOSE! RAINDROPS, PLUS ABCESS KEEP FIGHTERS OUT OF RING SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 11. With his nose swollen out of all proportion, . Willie Ritchie today bemoaned the misfortune that befell him on the eve of his proposed battle with Tommy Murphy, while unconvinced thousands of boxing fans declared the champion is afraid of the challenger, and for that reason refused to agree to Pro moter Coffroth's suggestion that after last night's postponement, due to rain, they fight it out tonight under the same conditions that would have gov erned last night's bout. Jim Buckley, Murphy's manager, do clared that Ritchie is afraid of the Harlemite, and that the sore nose ex cuse was nothing but a plain runout. Ritchie's physician, however, was au thority for the statement that the champion really is suffering, and that it would have been dangerous for him to have gone into the ring last night, even had the weather permit ted, and that to do so tonight would 'be even more dangerous.

"Not guilty" was the verdict of the jury that sat on the trial of James Hutch ens, who was indicted for murder in the first degree for the shooting of Walter A. Rodgers. The jury was out about two hours, and when the verdict was read by Judge Holmes the audi ence handclapped for three minutes. James Hutchens, 38 years old, lives with his aged mother on her home stead, about 12 miles west of this city, in the mountans, where Walter A. Rodgers, the deceased, also had a homestead. Nearly every resident of the mountain district known as Pea Vine Ridge was in attendance upon this trial as witnesses. Hutchens thanked the iurors cordially and shook hands with them as they filed out of the jury box. The trial was conducted by R. L. Conner, District Attorney for this County, assisted by H. V. Newlin, of Portland, for the state. The defense -was handled in a masterly manner by B. A. KlHis, of this city, and George C. Brownell, of Oregon City. One whole day was taken up with argu ments of the attorneys. Self-defense was the defense of the defendant, and, although indicted for murder in the first degree, Judge Holmes' instruction to the jury were to bring in either a verdict of man slaughter or acquittal.

It is a certainty that Stanley will be shipped back to the class B team, Hynes will he given a thorough try out by McCredie. Nick has signed youngster named Bromley, who is said to be a wonder. Bromley hails from Chico, Cal., and is a southpaw. It is possible- that Manager McCredie will give him a tryout with the Beavers. Thomas, shortstop of the Chico team, has also been signed by Williams. There is a chance of Dave Bancroft holding the shortpatch for the Colts again.

LILLIE FIGHTS HIS OWN CASE AND WINS About a year ago William Lillie was arrested on a criminal charge against his daughter. The case has gone through justice courts, grand juries and to the circuit court. Lillie has won out and the case been dis missed. Mr. Lillie gained much notoriety dur ing the case. From the first he was his own attorney. He had a large number of witnesses subpoenaed in his defense, among them Drs. Mount, and Norris, R. B. Beatie, Mrs. Lewen berger of .Clackamas ; Mrs. Wright of Wilhelmina; E. C. Hackett, W. A. Holmes, John Hatton, Mrs. Nannie Mumpower, Mrs.. Alice Carr and oth ers. Only one witness was sworn, Mrs. Carr, and her testimony was that the daughter, Hazel Lillie had said to her that her father, Wm. Lillie, had never harmed her but that her mother, Lil lie's divorced wife, wanted the child to make the charge against her fath er and she intended to stay by her mother, whether it be right or wrong. Lillie says the whole affair was a conspiracy to ruin him in the com munity and was the outcome of fam ily troubles of several year's stand ing. BY MEXICAN POLICE JUAREZ, Mex., Dec. 11. The rebel military commander at Juarez issued an order imposing a penalty of death before a firing squad on anyone who violated or attempted to violate the prohibition law. The penalty applies as well to those who attempt to pur chase liquor as those who sell it. The order issued through the Chief of Po lice says: "It recently has come to the atten tion of the military authorities that merchants and saloonkeepers have been selling liquor in violation of the prohibition law. Notice is hereby given that any attempt to violate the law through purchase or sale will be punishable by exeuction before a fir ing squad." OR FALLING? TEA Ai SULPHUR bottle for about SO cents. Some druggists make their own, but it's usually too sticky, so insist upon getting "Wyeth's," which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair, and is the best remedy for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and to stop falling hair. Polks like "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur" because no one can pos sibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does It so naturally and evenly, says a well-known down town druggist. You dampen a sponge or soft brush and draw It through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. This re quires but a lew moments, by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two is restored to Its natural color and looks even more beautiful and glossy than ever. (Adv.) HUNTLEY BROS. Co. Daily Christmas Hint This Poppy Pincushion Is Extremely New and Smart This pincushion is made over a wood en hat stand. These wooden forms are purchased at -any fancy work store. The huge flower forms are good Imi tations of large poppies. The top Is a smaller poppy. -The flowers at the base are three in number. Around a padded satin cover ed center are the petals. The center is made by a bail of cotton, the silk curved over it and sewed at the base. Pink ribbon is gathered one-fourth of Ribbon is at- FANCT FLOWER PINCUSHION. tached to the base of the padded cen ter, and the ribbon is wound about in three layers. This gives the petal ef fect. The three forms are placed around the base after the stem is wrapped by the ribbon from base to top. A long piece of ' ribbon is shirred, as in the flower forms, and wound around itself, js the swirled roses are made, the lower edge drawn and sewed fast to the top. Put pins with black, white and colored tops In the centers of each flower at the base and you will have finished as pretty a pincushion as you will see. These floral pincushions may be made to represent other flowers than poppies, of course. It is a good idea to scent them with sachet powder. The scent should, if possible, be suited to the flowers, a rose cushion being per fumed with rose powder, etc. If yon happen to know what is the favorite flower of the one for whom the gift is Intended use it in designing the pin cushion. A gift of this sort will be appreciated and kept long after the useless trifles so often got up In the name of fancy work are discarded and forgotten. DRY ELECTION I IQ 10 (Continued from Page 1). cers performed their whole duty, and that no fraud was committed. All Votes Legal. Following out the recent decision of the supreme court of the state that no voter could be disenfranchised by any such registration law as was pass ed by the last legislature, the court held that all who voted at the election at that time were qualified to do so under the state laws. The complaint made no allegations of fraud on the part of the county court nor did it say that the county clerk had committed fraud in perform ing his functions under the law. Un less some evidence of that -kind were introduced, the court refused to re view their acts and presumed that they had properly discharged the du ties of their .offices. Studies Date Problem The judge went into the question of the election dates. He decided: that the last election was general in that it was a special general election and that all measures that the law per mitted to be voted upon at that time could be placed on the ballot on No vember 4. He held that the local op tion law is already a statute and that the people are entitled on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of any year in November to decide whether or not they want the statute to ap ply to their own city or town. Any such matter as local option that the law allows the people to apply or refuse to apply to their own territory, could be voted upon at that time, the court held. Were Too Late. In his argument, Chris Schubel con tended the only request for a restrain ing order that the wets could make would be after the officers of the city and county had attempted to put the measure in force after January 1. He thought that at that time only could the case be made a test proposition and carried into the courts by the sa loons. The little word "its" played an im portant part in the. proceeding. In a sentence in the decision of Justice Burnett, the court held that the city could hold "its" election at a certain time in November of any year. The attorneys for the saloons argued that Oregon City had no election, that the city recorder had no records of such an election in his office and that the pretended election, if anything, was a county affair. Improperly Called. C. D. Latourette contended that the election was improperly called by the county clerk and that the city record er should have been the official to call the election and announce the re turns. He pointed out that the rec ords of the city show that no election was held, as far as they are concern ed, and that the only evidence is the record in the office of the county clerk. He .also held that the entire proceedure was wrong and that the statute places a certain definite date at which such elections must be held. He wanted to know who gave the county clerk the authority to hold a city election and said that the people -! w fL J( CONTAINS Two Paring Knives with steel blades and One high grade Can ' ' ' " Tflnas Sot Is irsvirs .

Should Stand by Law. He also thought that the people "who are clamoring loudest for the enforcement of law should abide by the law as enacted by the legislature relative to elections." He could not believe that they had any right to at tack property and to over turn cus toms that' had grown through hun dreds of years or that they had any business breaking up the means by which men earned their bread and butter. He thought that the county clerk was very obliging to the women who asked him to call the election and felt that the official had gallantly done so, but that he did not have the auth ority to do so under the law. He spoke of the efforts of the "fair sex to uplifht and elevate the moral, spiritual, and general tone" of the community and commended them for it but thought that the property in terests of the saloon men were worth something and had he right to be con sidered. Amend Charters. John Carson, the Salem attorney, thought that the cities of the valley whose elections do not come on the dates of the general state elections could , change those dates by charter amendments and make their form of government conform more closely to the provisions of the state law. He believed that such a step would le simple and easy and that it would be little trouble to make the alteration in order to allow the people to con sider the question at such a time. In his argument, Chris Schubel, contended that the only way such an action could be brought in the courts of the state was on the relation of the attorney general or the county attor neys of the several counties. He held that the county attorney must be made a party to the action and that Lawrence Ruconich, for instance, would have to be the relator in the action in the same way that the suit against the water board was brought in the circuit court when John Al bright was named relator. Gilbert L. Hedges appeared as coun sel for the county court and B. N. Hicks, C. Schubel, C. H. Dye as spe cial attorneys, while D. C. Latourette and John Carson represented the sa loons. The hearing was held on the demurrer filed by the drys on the amended complaint of the wets and results in throwing their suit out of court. The case was instantly appeal ed to the supreme court of the state. Livestock, Meats BEEF (Live weight) steers 7c; cows 6c; bulls 4 to 6c. MUTTON Sheep 3 to 4c; lambs, 5 to 5c.

PULP COMBINE FORMED WITH COAST CAPITAL VANCOUVER, B. C, Dec. 11. Com, mencing with a proposal to reorganize the Ocean Falls Pulp & Paper Com pany, a plan has been worked out for the virtual amalgamation of that con cern with a new combination of the chief pulp and paper concerns of the Pacific coast on both sdes of the in ternational boundary. The deal is a very big one, for it involves the in vestment by Portland, Seattle and Sau Francisco capitalists of an initial fund of $3,000,800 to build a paper mill at the Ocean Falls headquarters, which is situated 200 miles north of Van couver on the British Columbia coast. The Ocean Falls concern owns an enormous pulp holding along the. northern coast. It is mostly unde-' veloped, though about $4,000,000 in British shareholders' money has been invested in erecting sawmill, wharves, offices, etc., and equipping them. The promoter was Lester W. David, a well known promoter of Portland and Se attle. There are 80,000 acres of tim ber land, valuable water powers, etc. Early last summer the Ocean Falls people met financial difficulties and following suits brought against them by the Crane company of Chicago and the Diamond Rubber company, the new plant was closed down. Now in the reorganization scheme, an agree ment has been entered into by the British bondholders with Messrs. Her bert Fleishhacker, Mortimer Fleish hacker and William Pierce Johnson of San Francisco, presdent of the Will amette Pulp & Paper Co., whereby the Ocean Falls plant is to go into ' the hands of a new. combination of Pa cific coast pulp and paper interests.

The Quastino Sound property is very large but un developed. The prospective new own ers of the three British Columbia con cerns would be in control of the en tire pulp and paper industry of the province. This would easily main tain that position for their property contains a very large percentage of the best timber lands on the Canad ian Pacific coast. By the provisional agreement, the group of Pacific coast capitalists have now guarantee 50 per cent of the bonds of the Ocean Falls company and will immediately supply $3,000, 000 and a paper plant. This proposal has already been en dorsed by the English debenture hold ers at a meeting held in London, J. Hamilton Benn, a member if the Brit ish house of commons, is now on his way from London to San Francisco to finally execute the agreement. Her bert Fleshhaqker is salted to be the president, and largest shareholder iu the Crown Paper company, while his brother, and Mr. Johnson, are direct ors or heavy shareholders in other of the concerns mentioned.
