TEST LOCAL OPTION LAW
Marshfield Clalins,Chartcr Privilege
Supersedes State Authority.
MARSHFIELD. Or.. May 29. (Spe
cial.) There has arisen a legal point
in regard to the local-option tight in
this county which may mean a lawsuit
after the election. It is announced that
if the county should go dry the liquor
interests will go to the Supreme Court
for a decision as to how It affects
Marshfield.
Since the local-option law was adopt
ed Marshfield was granted n charter
In which It staU-s that the City Coun
cil his the right to license, tax and
regulate the saloons. Some of the law
yers hold that this means that it is en
tirely up lo the City Council as to
whether or net there shall he -salcons
and that even though the county should
vote dry as a whole It will not affect
this city. At le.ist this Is the eKim
thut Is made, and it Is declared that
the saloons will not close until there
hns been a decision from tht Supreme
-Court.
This applies only to the Marshheld
charter, so. if the county as a whole
should dvy. th other towns would
be compelled to close the raloons. 1
the county as a whole goes wet the
districts or towns which vote dry must
be dry and the cities votlT-g wet can
be -wet. hut this rices not apply if the
county as a whole goes dry. unless, of
course, the -saloon interests can win
in their claim that the Marshfield char
ter is not affected.
In the meantime, the light of the
local o tion people against the advo-
cates of saloons is a warm one. The
contest on this point is centered par
ticularly In Marshfield.

LANE SAFEIiY REPVBLICAX
County Expected to Give Majority
for Kvery Man on the Ticket.
EUGENE. Dr., May 29. (Special.)
The campaign in Lane County, completed
today, has been very quiet, yet it is ex
pected that the vote Monday will be the
lai'SPeflt ever polled in Lane County. One
thousand more voters Vere registered this
year than two years ago. and a large ma
jority of the people will be brought to
the polls because of their interest in the
university appropriation bill. The county
is also Interested in the local option con
test. In which an effort will be made to
make Lane "wet" after a "dry" regime
of two years.
It Is the claim of the drys,' and it is
not disputed by their opponents, that the
county will cast a larger vote for prohl
bition this time than two years ago.
The Republicans claim that they will
elect every man on their ticket, from
Senator to Constable. Two years ago
Governor Chamberlain carried Lane Coun
ty by a majority of '21 votes.
R. S. Bryson. secretary of the Republi
can Central Committee of Lane County,
said this morning: "Indications are that
we shall elect every man on the ticket.
There is no contest with the Democrats
excepting over the Sheriff. For years
they have concentrated their forces and
succeeded in securing this office, but Mr.
Griffin, the Republican candidate. Is the
strongest man that has been put up by
the Republican party. A careful canvass
of the county has been made, and I esti
mate that we will elect our Sheriff by
600- majority. As to the other offices, the
Republicans will as usual have a clean
sweep.
It is believed the county high school
measure will carry by a safe vote.

ator's Home Town.
ASTORIA. Or., May 29. (Special.)
John M. Gearin. of Portland, addressed
a large audience at the Astoria Thea
tn this evening in the interests of the
Chamberlain campaign.
Gearin paid a glowing tribute to
Senator Fulton, saying he is one of the
ablest mm in the United States Sen
ate today, and it was a misfortune,
which the state will long regret, and
which he personally sincerely regret
ted, that Senator Fulton was not re
nominated for the position he now oc
cupies and has so ably filled.
He also spoke very -complimentary
of Mr. Cake as a man and as a citi
zen, but criticised his appeal that party
Is above the man. "Why," said the
speaker. "Mr. Cake told you when he
was here that I accomplished nothing
while in the Senate, and could not ac
complish anything, because I belong, to
the minority party. Now if one of
you Democrats met Mr. Cake on the
street and asked him if. when elected,
he would act for you in Washington,
he would reply that as a Senator he
would be know no party, and he would
be speaking the truth for he is an
honest man. How. then, could he charge
that every other Senator, excepting
himself. Is dishonest.
-The South gets as much for rivers
and harbore and for public buildings
as does any other section and they are
all Democratic there."

larger and more enthusiastic than any of
the campaign. He speaks at Athena and
Weston tomorrow, - bringing his cam
paign to a close In this county.
A large majority for Mr. Cake and the
entire Republican ticket is conceded here
even by the Democrats. The fact that
Chamberlain is the delegate-at-la-rge to
the National Democratic Convention and
pledged to Eryan for President will not
help the. Governor here.

SEATTLE. Wash.; May 29. (Special.)
Battling Nelson denies that he is en
gaged to be married. Not indignantly
and emphatically, you understand, but
still he denies it. At the same time, one
doesn't have to talk with him more than
about two minutes to realize that no
one need be surprised if an interesting
announcement appears In the social
columns of the dally press In the near
future. Her name Is Miss Rena Schuh.
of 988 Garfield avenue. Portland. Or., and
Bat blushes when he talks about her.
Also he rhapsodizes.
"Say. she's the prettiest kid I ever
saw and the best fellow that ever hap
pened. She's the only woman I .ever met
that there was any danger that I would
get foolish over. and I've known
hundred? of 'em. I get letters from 'em
right along. Here's one I got today
from one that wants to see me, she
says, for old time's sake. and. honest. I
ean't remember where I ever saw her.
That shows you how much .of a hit most
of 'em make with me. But this Is dif
ferent. She is the prettiest girl I ever
saw, and the nicest kid. too." Also sev
eral other adjectives of the superlative
degree.
Bat met Miss Schuh a few weeks ago
in San Francisco, where she was visiting
some married friends. He took her. out
to his ranch at Ltvermore, Cal., an.l
showed her around, just so "she could
see what s-he would have to take charge
of." Then he came North. Miss Schuh
is still In San Francisco.
Bat Is head over heels in love and he
doesn't care who knows it. In fact, he
rather likes to tell about it. and although
he Insists that he isn't really engaged,
he admits that folks will have no real
grounds for surprise if the engagement
is announced soon.

WASHINGTON SUPREME COURT
EXERCISES POWER.
Awards Alimony to Wife. Pending
Husband's Appeal, Because She
Is Left Penniless.
V OLTMP1A. Wash.. May 29. (Special.)
By a vote of 4 to 3, the State Supreme
Court today decided that such court has
original jurisdiction in divorce matters
and may enter orders directing the pay
ment of alimony pending litigation, suit
money and attorney's fees. The Jurisdic
tion of the court has been in dispute
among attorneys for years. The decis
ions, for there are two cases, were writ
ten by Justice Root and concurred in by
Chief Justice Hadley and Justices Dunbar
and Crow. Justices Mount, Rudkin and
Fullerton died a dissenting opinion, as
serting that the majority opinion is a
usurpation of power not granted to the
court, from which serious complications
may result.
The first case is from King County.
wherein Eva Holcomb secured a divorce
from Augustus Holcomb and by the de
cree was awarded some non-income-pro-duclng
property and 150 per month ali
mony. Holcomb gave bond on appeal,
which of course stayed the payment of
alimony and left her practically penniless.
Her attorneys petitioned the Supreme
Court for alimony, pointing out tnat ene
had no means, that she had to care for
her crippled child, and unless she had suit
money and attorneys' fees, could not fight
the appeal in the Supreme Court.
The court in its decisions says the state.
representing society, is a proper party to
all divorce proceedings, made mo by law.
and that it would be a monstrous policy
which would allow one party In the suit
to tie up all the funds by an appeal bond
and thus rob the other party of the right
to be heard in the higher court. In this
case Mrs. Holcomb is allowed $o0 a month
alimony from the time th eappeal was
taken, $75 suit money and $100 for attor
neys' fees. The court, however, refused
her application that the hueband be put
under bonds not to leave the state and
that the alimony claim be made a first
lien upon real estate.
A similar decision was rendered in the
case wherein Ellen A. Sullivan secured a
divorce from Daniel Sullivan, who ap
pealed. Property valued at 1250,000 Is In
the possession of the husband, while she
is In California with a minor child dying.
It was ordered that ehe be paid $100 per
month for her support, $150 per month for
the child, $7 suit money and $15. attor
neys' fees.
