Kii'xlell. superintendent of the (ron Anti-Saloon LeuRiie. expresses views that coincide only In part with those of Mr. Farewell. According In Mr. Farewell the only counties in the state that will be affected by the Home Rule amendment as soon as It becomes oper ative are Linn. Douslas. Hood River. Josephine ar.d Wallowa. These coun ties have ail apparently jtone "dry." but several of the Incorporated cities Toted "wet." All these cities that voted "wet." Mr. Farewell says, may sell liquor under the regulation of city ordinances and the criminal lawa of the state as soon aa the Governor pro claims the amendment a part of the constitution. In Yamhill. Benton and Lane coun ties, where no local option election waa held, the Incorporated cities must re main "dry" with the county unless they are voted "wet" two years hence, aa provided by the local option law. I"ry counties that votod "wet" may dispense liquor without waiting for the amendment to be proolalmed. These counties are Crook. Gilliam. Klamath. Malheur. Morrow. Pollc. Sherman. Til lamook. tTmatllla and Union. Opinions on I .aw Differ. There Is a wide diversity or opinion concerning the meaning of the Home Rule amendment. Attorney-General Crawford is preparing an opinion on the measure, which will be finished In a day or two. Other attorneys, when asked for an opinion, would not dis cass the bill offhand and asked time to read it over and compare the amend ment with the provisions of the pres ent local option law. Following la an opinion Mr. Farewell submitted: Tint Where counties tor subdivision thereof Including- elll. heretofore "dry. TOl. ." no city therein vottn ei ran llcen saloons until the County Court enters aa order settlnr sslde the former erder of prohibition, which must be done forthwith efter the csnnMin of the vote Second In case, however. u. h city was formerl "tlrr" by help of outbids precinct, but "w'ef vote within city alone, and no vote on local option was taken this year.

Such order beln supported by a vote outside of the cltv only. It follows that such order or the county Court Is a nullity after tha pas Mice of the amendment. Third In esse a city was formerly "dry tmt at the recent election the city within lis limit, went "wet." and at the same time the entire county or imio "V rludlmr such city went "dry. " the County Court would have no power to order the cltv "dry." a the Home Rule amendment P Fourth The statu, of all precincts within a city whether "wef or "dry." remains un changed under tb. amendment. . Kifth No "dry" precinct or precinct, as subdivision, of the city can be authorised "The countv Court aa "wef territory until the same subdivisions go "wef under a '"U-n" city "council can license the sale 3f" llqunr'ln any precinct of a city while a x slid order of the rounty ;..urt .tends de i "urine It "dt-T" under the local option law. Seventh The council of a city my re fuse license, although the cllr voted "wet. And this extends to any precinct therein. Kl-htn The "dry" status of a country precinct is not changed by the amendment, even If made "dry" by the help of a city twine Included In the dlstrlot. Ixvral Option law- Modified. "I can see nothing complicated about the amendment." aald Mr. Farewell. "It simply modifies the local option law cow in force only to the extent that a rural vote ahall not make a city dry asainst the will of the residents of the city. The home rule bill haa even writ ten the present local option law Into the constitution of the state with this slight modification. "For Illustration, ten 'dry counties, according to returns, have gone 'et They are "wef under the present local option Uw and the amendment has nothing to do with their present status. The counties that have been dry- and voted 'wef are Crook. Gll llnnu Klamath. Malheur. Morrow. Polk. Sherman. Tillamook. Umatilla and Vnlon. Cities In those counties that voted wef are allowed saloons Just the same aa If there had been no home rule bill. "Counties such as Yamhill. Benton and Lane, where no local option elec tions were held at the recent elec tions and are 'dry' will remain 'dry under the preaent local option law for two years. The present local option law la peculiar. If acounty Is voted "dry" an election cannot be held for two years, but If It la voted -wet" an election may be held each year. Be cause no local option election waa held In these counties at the recent elc tlon the local option law will keep cities In those counties "dry" for two years. Outside Vote Not Hindlns. "In Linn. Douglas. Hood River. Jose phine and Wallowa Counties the situ ation Is different and they present the only cases where the provisions of the home rule bill will really become op erative. Cities that voted wet' In these counties, when the home rule amendment becomes effective, will have the right to sell liquor. They will -' not be bound by the rural or the out alde vote. This Is the object of the home rule amendment and nothing more. There Is nothing confusing about the measure. It means Just what It says that Is. to give eaoh city a rlcht to govern Itself so long aa that government la consistent with the lo cal option law and the erlnlmal laws of the state." J. R. Kcodell. superintendent of the Oregon Anti-Saloon Lea (rue. aald: "The home-rule amendment Is the greatest monstrosity ever seen In Ore gon legislation. It first throws the state wide open to the sale of liquor and then It closes It up tighter than ever before. It has written the present local option laws Into the constitution, but In doing so. K has brought on two extremes that will not be satisfactory to the extrem-L-t on either side of the liquor ques tion. It does not help the man who really wants to clean up. It opens and then ejhuts the door to the liquor traf fic. It cannot be satisfactory to either extremist. Cities Left Without Laws. The counties that .voted 'wet' under the present local option laws are 'wet' without the home-rule bill and will re main so until they are voted 'dry' "under the local option law. But when the home-rule amendment la declared adopted there will be no law to govern the sule of liquor In cities In these 'wef counties unle.-w the city councils adopt ordinances prior to the adoption of the constitutional amendment. In the "dry' counties that contain cities that voted wet.' the cities must remain 'dry' until the amendment is a part of tlie constitu tion and then they must hold an elec tion and vote on the que-tIon before they mar sell liquor. Local option law In (""dry" countl. that did not vote on the qurKlun of local option at tTTe recent election, will remain in force until an other election is held. "I hope something can be done with the home-rule Mil to clan up tlio liquor traffic, but I douht It. The men behind it will soon OikI tiiey have a big flcht on their liands. They will be caught be tween the tmo extremists, the law can not be satisfactory to either the radical prohibition int or the advocate of the saloon without restraint. I hope they may be able to make something out of it but I can't ere how." Cellars Kctlves Ordinance. Councilman G.. B. Cellars has resur rected a liquor license ordinance he In troduced nearly a year sko thnt has been pigeonholed. "The ordinance, was prepared by ex- City Attorney Kavanaugh and myself about a year ago." said Sir. cellars last night, "and hns nothing to do with the Home Rule Association or the outcome of the hint election. The ordinance wns prepared to regulate the saloona bet ter. It was turned down by the Council once and presented attain In a modified form. City Attorney Grant has approved it and I have submitted It to Mayor Si mon. There are now 14 ordinances gov erning the sale of liquor and my ordi nance repeals all of these and places the, resulation of the liquor traffic under one ordinance. The Mayor has approved this policy of having one ordinance In stead of 14 to cover the saloons. The or dinance raises the license from ISOO to Jiotiii. doe away with free lunch and limita the number of saloons In the city to the present number." ' Councilman Frank E. Watklns has also prepared a liquor license ordinance. Neither the Greater Oregon Home Rule Association nor the Liquor Dealers' As sociation has submitted or authorized an ordinance governing the sale of liquor In Portland or any other city In Ore gon. The liquor dealers have virtually loft the regulation of the liquor traffic in the. hands of the Home Rule Associa tion and the Home Rule Association will take no action until a conference of the advisory board this week and probably a convention of the Mayors of the cities of Oregon Is held to discuss the ques-tlon.

To the Mothers of Portland COYOTE'S FANGS FEARED HOY AND DOGS BITTEN", HYDRO PHOBIA SUSPECTED. Animals to Be Watched for Signs of Dread Diseases Pasteur Tr'eat- , ment Is Wanted. State Veterinarian Lytle last night brought two dogs and a pig that were bitten by the same coyote that bit little John Bosley. In Wallowa County last week, to Portland to determine If the animals have hydrophobia. The Bosley boy. who was hurried to Portland im mediately after the attack, was dis charged from St. Vincents Hospital yesterday. His wounds have healed, but he will remain in Portland for two months to await developments. Since last Summer Dr. Calvin 8. White, Secretary of the State Board of Health, has been receiving communica tions from Wallowa County and East ern Oregon to the effect that the coy otes had gone mad and that dogs and pigs they had bitten exhibited symp toms of hydrophobia. One letter told of a gang of farm bands having been attacked by a pig. As soon as the animals showed symptoms of rabies they were killed. At noon on November 3. while school children were playing In the yard, a coyote came down the road close to the schoolhouse. Knowing the shy dis position of the coyote the teacher did not object to the children chasing it. The animal ran Into a farmyard, started after several grown persons, snapped two dogs and a pig. By this time one of the men had gone for a gun and the children were frightetned. Little John Bosley was standing In the middle ot the lane- The coyote made for him and bit him through the cheek, tearing three teeth out. and hit him over the eye. badly lacerating the eyelids and forehead. It then ran Into a field pur sued by the men. The animal turned on them, and within 100 feet of one man. was shot and killed. There Is no Pasteur treatment closer than Washington, D. C. and It Is kept by the Public Health and Marine Hos pital Service. The boy has been treated at the hospital but no Pasteur serum will be sent until there Is a pronounced case of rabies. The animals Dr. Lytle has brought to Portland will be watched, and If they show symptoms of hydrophobia they will be killed and serum taken from their spinal cord will be Injected Into a rabbit In this way the case w... be developed. The brains of the animals will also be examined. Dr. White has arranged with the , Public Health and Marine Hospital j at once. If the -animals have hydro phobia. "The disease is an animal disease." said Dr. White, "and the period of In cubation is much shorter than In a human being. It will take from two weeks to 40 days to determine If the dogs and pig have hydrophobia. That will give us time to treat the Bosley boy. The Pasteur treatment is pre pared In Washing-ton and will be shipped from day to day. if we need It." WIDE, LONG BERTHS.

SHOW COMPANY HAS "SPLIT Trouble Breaks Out Behind Scenes at Lyric Theater. x An eruption that has1 been smouldering behind the scenes at the Lyric Theater for some time broke out yesterday after noon and by nightfall the following situa tion was outlined: En Dillon and Will King, comedians with the Armstrong Musical Comedy Company, gave the professional two weeks' notice of their withdrawal from the company. Edward Armstrong, manager of the Armstrong Musical Comedy Company, was served with the professional notice by Keating & Flood, proprietors of the Lyric, to hunt another location. Dillon and Kinjr were imemdiately re tained by Keating & Flood as leading comedians In a company they will at once begin organizing to take the place of the Armstrong Musical Comedy Com pany. It has been known for several weeks that things were not running smoothly in the Armstrong Musical Comedy Com- pany. The break yesterday, although anticipated, was not expected so soon. "Things have not been as pleasant aa they might have been," said Dan Flood last night. "Today Armstrong took away part of the company, leaving us only eight chorus girls. He also refused to bill Dillon and King for this weok. giving all the advertising to members of the company ho took away. The only solution of the problem that has been confronting us was for us to run our own show, end we are going to do it. Armstrong's contract with us expired the first of September." Armstrong left with his company for Vancouver, Wash., yesterday evening, where his company gave iu first road performance. FELLOW WORKERS BLAMED Coroner's Jury Returns) Verdict on Death of Lineman.
