THE OREGONIAK, TUESDAY. JUKB L'U, 1905. SIN IS NEW TRIM. Supreme Court Recedes From Action In Arson Case. COUNSEL CUT TOO SHORT Dscar Rogoway Is Found to Have Been Deprived of Constitutional Right by the Ruling of Judge Bennett. ' SALEM, Or.. June Ifi. SpeciaI.).-The Supreme Court today receded from Its action in affirming the Oscar Rogoway arson case, and handed down a decision reversing -ae lower court and granting a new trial. The reason for the reversal Is that Judge Bennett limited the argument of counsel to one Jour on a side, thereby depriving the defendant of his constitu tional right to be heard by counsel. The judgment of the lower court was af firmed last December, but a rehearing wag granted and new arguments having been advanced. the Supreme Court changes its decision. At the first hearing In the Supreme Court the opinion affirming the judgment of conviction was based on the case of Hurst ve. Burnsldc, 12 On, 520, which was a civil case. Attention was not then called to the fact hat by limiting the argument the defondant had been deprived of a Constitutional right In the opinion written by Judge Bean af ter the second hearing says: It ic declared in the bill of rictus that in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall have the right to b5 heard by himseir and counsel. A similar guarantee is contained in the Federal Constitution. This means that the accused shall have the right to be fully and fairly heard or else it means nothing. Anything lees would be an lnvarten and re striction of the rl?ht guaranteed. This guarantee vouchsafed to the defend ant, however, i not inconsistent with ih existence ef the power of the court to regu late the exercise of the right of argument ko as to prevent an abue thereof by re stricting it to a discussion of the matters relevant to the causn and preventing counsel from wasting the time of the court by use less repetition. Some courts rest this matter of regulation upon the sound discretion of the trial court, but the better doctrine seems to be that the court may adopt suitable rules and limita tions, and exercise such supervising control over the course of the argument as may seem reasonably calculated to prevent the abuse of the right to bo fully heard and that otherwise It cannot exercise any dis cretion in the premises. As shown by the record in this case, two counsel appeared for the accused. It re quired the greater part of three days to try the case. There were 21 or 22 witnesses ex amined, the testimony of whom, when transcribed and typewritten, filled a volume of 160 pag-s. and there were M exhibits introduced in evidence. Much of the testi mony was circumstantial and conflicting, and the case was attonded with many com plications that required careful analysis en the part of counsel, both for the state and for the defendant. Considering the whole case and the character of the testimony, we are clear that the limitation of an hour was too restrictive to permit a full and fair discussion of the case before the Jury and a violation of defendant's constitutional rights. The court adheres to Its former ruling as to the admissibility of the alleged con fession of the defendant. Candidates Admitted to Bar. All but two o the applicants for ad mission to the bar who took the exam ination last week -were admitted today. Those who were not admitted were J. Albert Beckwith, who will be admitted when he becomes of age in December, and James H. Lane, who is but IS years of age. Lane is a blind boy whose home is in Harrlsburg.

SCANDAL ROUSES SHERIFF Miss Kate Gilmorc, Young- Telephone Operator, Disappears, Bnt Is Later Located In a Port land Lodging-House. ASTORIA. Or.. June 19.-CSpeciaL)-The proprietors of the dancehalls of the city, four in number, were notified this after noon by Sheriff Llnville that their busi ness was contrary to the statutes of Ore gon, and that they must cease conduct ing them in the future. This will throw about &i women out of work and as many of their male companions will have to go to work or leave the city.

Miss Kate Gilmore. a girl about 17 years of age, a member of one of the most respected families in the city and employed in the office of the telephone exchange, mysteriously disappeared on Saturday night, and It was so well be lieved that she . had been murdered by Fred Balmer, keeper of a cigar store in the Tenderloin, that he was arrested last evening by Sheriff Llnville, and this morning charged with her murder. At noon today it was learned that the girl was aafe In Portlrjid. but before this news was received '.here was a sentiment afloat that might have caused the Sher iff some difficulty in protecting his pris oner.

Miss Edna Samson and Miss Ella Shaver. but as she did not appear there within an hour or two her family began a quiet search for her. but no suspicion of foul play was suspected until she was still missing at noon on Sunday, and Sheriff Llnville was given charge of the matter. He found that previous to leaving the telephone office she bad telephoned Balm er that she would meet him according to appointment. After this the girl dropped out of sight as completely as if the earth had swallowed her. The man Balmer has conducted a cigar store In the lower part of the city for several years, and has had with him here an alleged wife and hor sister, who supported him.

Yesterday afternoon Balmer's alleged wife and her sister packed up their ef fects suddenly and left for Portland on last evening's train. The murder charge against the man will now, of course, have to be diitnlwed but he will be held pend ing a full examination of the case. The organized and unorganized better element, and there is no question about which is the worst element, has for mme time made a crusade against these dancehalls and pointed out in the papers and otherwise the harm that they were doing. In speaking of the matter this afternoon. Sheriff Llnville said: "The action that I am taking i? entirely in the Interest of decency and morality. I am told that it is a political move, but show me a Republican. Democrat. Social ist or a member of any other party who has a family and wants the dancehalls to exist. I propose to keep them chjsed. and if the proprietors want to disregard my orders I will lock their places up and place a deputy In charge." Sheriff "Word received a telegram from Sheriff Linville. of Astoria, to find Kate Gilmore. The case was Intrusted to Dep uty Sheriff GruicJ. who. after a diligent and indefatigable search, found the young woman in a lodging-house In Portland, and she was returned to Astoria.

ASSESSOR IS COMMENDED Practice Previously In Vogue Will Now -Bo Given a Check, Says the Report of State Officers. OLYMPIA. Wash.. June 19. (Special.) It has been brought to the attention of the Tax Commission that it is a common practice of nonresident manufacturers to fill the warehouses, public and private, in this state with their wares about the time that assessments are being made in the several states, and In this way escape taxation. Supplementing an opinion filed today by J. H. Easterday, in behalf of the com mission, the statement Is made that "the commission will prepare an amendment to the laws which will provide a method which will be simple and certain In check ing this growing evil. The custom Is not only a fraud upon the counties' and states' revenue, but works a hardship to our local manufacturers. In giving the nonresident concern this advantage. It is not to be tolerated." The opinion filed today is the first ef fort In that direction of the commission, and It deals with the assessment to the Everett Grain A: Warehouse Company of iz.000 bushels of wheat which was In Douglas County warehouse March 1 of the present yean The wheat was as sesses at jooto oy Assessor j. w. anuicr. and the company replied in effect that it owned about 191 bushels, the balance being held subject to shipping Instructions. It asked a remission of the assessment ac cordingly. In replying to a requeat from the As sessor for Instructions, the commission says In part: Tho Everett Grain U Warehouse Company had In its possession the first day of March. 1Z.O00 buhels of grain. It wan Its duty. legal and moral, to list not only tho property oa-ned by It. but all property under its con trol. In order that the Assessor might charge It to the proper person. If a re.ident of the sat. and l( net a resident of the state. that he might take such action as would pro tect the county ana state tn Itn revenue. Taxation is not to be treated as a game of "hide and seek." The warehouse company has possession of thlff wheat, which is prima facie evidence of ownership. The species of product carries with it no marks of Identification, aside from evldenco of pM seralon. The sale of personal prop erty presupposes a delivery of th thing sold or a memoranda In writing which usually takes the form of a bill of sale. Neither of these usual course have been observed. We do not believe that taxation should be defeated and our laws set at naught by the naked statement of warehousemen or others of nonownersblp of property In their poss- slon. carrying all of tho badges of full own ership. . Tour eoarse In accessing to the Everett Grain & Warehouse Company the 12.000 bush els of wheat is approved and commended. FIGHT OF COQUILLE SALOONS Two More Liquor-Venders' Fined In Heavy Sums. COQUILLE. Or., June 19. (SpeciaL) Two more whisky cases ave been tried out In the Justice's Court. Jack 'Tup per entered a plea of "not guilty," but acknowledged having sold intoxicating drinks. He was fined $300 and costs. Im mediately after Tuppcrs case was dis posed of, papers were served on Teddy Baxter, of the firm of Baxter Bros. He made substantially the same plea as was made by Baxter and Tupper, and was fined the same amount as In the other cases. Garten and Hays say they have no money for the lawyers, and have gone out of business. The other two are running full blast, and people look on with unusual Interest to learn the out come. The saloons seem determined to run, and It is the determination of the friends of local option to arrest them as often as evidence can be secured. As tho fines are Increased with each new of fense. and as imprisonment must follow after the first conviction, it Is the belief of the friends of reform that It will soon become difficult for the saloon men to procure bondsmen.
