In rpMnn'T to nri inuuiry recently

) to the sale of short-weight butter In
Asturin. As.si.-tant Attorney-'leneral
Van Inkie tiMlay forwii-ded an opin
ion to Slate t'airy and Food Commis
sioner B.iiley. In the opinion he holds
In yubsi:ir.ce that w bn a dealer in
mrrhandie of any kind has butter
mona other articles In hi place of
business In that part of the store
where other articles Are exposed for
ale It Is presumed that the butter la
pxposed for sule.
He also holds that in the event a
:leputy dairy and food commissioner
should seize short-weicht butter In-
Ufa1 of buying It. such elsurr would
not render the prosecution of the case
niorc dJftlcult.
In touchins: upon the question of
'ulifornia butter he says: "If a man
culls upon a dealer In butter and takes
his order for California lutter, for
wards su-h order to California, from
whence the order l filled by shipments
direct to the Ualt-r In Oretson. who
rictives the butler no forwarded and
reorrt.i difctiy to the California Keller,
the person who took the order having
nothlnc further to do with the salo
and delivery of Mien butter, nor pay
ment therefor.- such person who so-lli-lts
and receives and forward such
order from the dealer, is. neverthe
less, the aarent of -he vender in Cali
fornia and as su'-h acent makes the
slo of such buttcR and is liable to
prosecution If such butter is short
weight or otherwise not in compliance
with the provisions of any of the laws
relating to the sale of butter In this
stale."
In conclusion the opinion says thut
' having selxed butter under the condi
tions discussed, the I ommissioner or
his deputy could release the same to
persons from whom It was selxed and

that they tire Justified in making such

ON STATE OF BANK
HANGS MAN'S FATE
Phillips' Trial Resolves Itself
Into Two Questions of
Great Import.
ISSUE IS WELL DEFINED
Was Commercial Bank of Vancouver
Insolvent When Closod. anil If
So. Did lis President Have
Knowledge of Situation?
K A LA MA. Wash.. March 8. tSpc
dal.) Was the Commercial Bank of
Vancouver. Wash.. Insolvent when It
was closed by the Statu Bank Kxaminer
in December. 1010. and also did Hugh
C. Phillips. Its president, know it was
insolvent?
These are the t wo ' principal nues
tlons at Issue in the trial of the Van
couver ex-banke.r, now being held in
the Superior Court In this city. Tae
Issue Is well-defined, and all the evi
dence Introduced by the state up to
lonluht has been for the purpose of
substant iai lint the state's assertion
that (lie bank was Insolvent when
dosed.
Slate Bank Kxnmlner Mohundro. of
Seattle, was called to the witness stand
at S o'clock this morning by the state,
and his direct eaamlnation was not
finished until after 3 o'clock.
Letters Are Identified.
The time of his direct examination
was consumed In Identifying letters
passing between his office and the
Commercial Bunk of-Vancouver, and in
Identifying bank statements made by
the Commercial Bank at the State Bank
Kxamlner's request. These letters, cov
ering more than a year before the clos
ing of the bank, showed that the. re
servo was generally low and that the
State Bank F.xamlner was urging the
bank to Increase Its reserve.
Theso letters also showed that
Phillips was trying to make collections,
cut down overdrafts tend Increase the
reserve.
In the direct examination of the State
Bank Examiner by Judgo Pipes, for the
prosecution, it devoloed that the ac
curacy of a bank statement made by
tho Commercial Bank in November,
1910. might bo questioned later by tho
state. To off:et this possibility Judge
Bennett, for the defense. In cross-examination
of the Bank Kxaminer, asked
by what authority and by what method
were the calls made for bank state
ments. Mr. Mohundro answered:
I. aw Hrqnlrra Bank Clateraeata.
"The Washington Plate law provider
that state banks shall make statements
of their business according to the calls
of the Federal Controller of the Cur
rency. These calls are made five tlnves
a year, but not at regular Intervals, and
call for a statement of the books on
a certain previous date always at
least two dcys previous to tho dato of
the call. This Is for th purpo- of
preventing the possibility of fixing or
doctoring the books in order to make
a favorablo showing In tho report."
The statement was also secured from
the Kxaminer that at all examinations
of the Commercial Bank the cash and
the securities on hand always tallied
with the books.
From the drift of the arguments be
tween counsel. It appears that the fol
lowing questions may grow out of this
case:
Is a bank necessarily Insolvent be
cause Its reserve Is below tho legal
limit? Then the resultant question
will arise, what is the statutory re
serve? 10 per ernt of the demand de
posits, or 20 per cent of the total de
posits? HOMESTEADER GETS CLAIM
Itouglns County Tract Held More
Valuable? for I'armlnsr. .
ItOSKBL'FtCJ. Or.. March S. (Special.)
Holding that the land was more valu
able for agricultural purposes than for
Its mineral, the Secretary of the In
terior has forwarded a decision to Rose-
burg in which he sustains tho findings
of the Cw-nerul Land Ofllco and the
Itoseburs 1-and office In the contest
case Instituted by A. IL Howard against
Frederick Cook. r
The land In question, lying on Lee's
Creek. In Soutlioi n liouglas County.
originally waa taken up by the Lees
Creek Mining Company, the stockhold
ers of which were Portland capital
ists. They mined the property for a
number of years, and finally abandoned
the prospect without securing any
great amount of wealth. Following
the company s removal to other sec
tions of Southern. Oregon, Frederick
Cook located on the land and later
made entrv to the land under the
homestead aot.
Following this procedure on the part
of Cook. A. H. Howard., formerly care
taker for the Lee's Creek Mining Com
pany. Instituted contest procecdiiiijs tn
the I.and Ofllce here. Ills entel con
tention was to the effect that the land
was more valuable for Its mineral than
for agricultural purposes. The case
was tried in the I'nlted States Land
office ami a decision was returned in
favor of Cook. The case was then ap
pealed to the Ocneral I .and Office at
Washington, where a similar derision
was given. Not satisfied with this de
cision. Howard then appealed to the
Secretary of the Interior, where the
decisions of the lower courts were sus
tained. In the decision of the Secretary of
the Interior l.t Is held that the property
19 abandoned as a mining prospect,
and consequently the question of min
eral wealth was removed.

Special.) "If the President will send
the rest of the Navy here and prevail
upon tho other nations to send thqirs.
It might be that International peace
treaties would be unnecessary." said
Rear-Admiral Chaunrey Thomas lat
night at the close of one of the largest
meetings yet held by the church peo
ple for the benefit of the officers and
men of the Pacific fleet, of which the
Admlr&l ts commandor-ln-chlef.
"I am going to write the Department
about It." he added, "for there la noth
ing In American or any other modern
history like It."
For weeks there has been a great deal
of what the church people have termed
"personal work" among the men of the
fleet, supplemented by many meetings,
with the result that a really remark
able state of affairs exists quite as
much to the marvel of the workers as
to the surprise of Uncle Sam's blue
jackets themselves.
I'retty- Womra Greet Sallora,
The sailors smiled In the usual nau
tical fashion when a band of young
church people, made up from the tlve
principal evangelical denominations of
the city, visited the four cruisers one
Sunday morning and announced that
"converts" were to be made. There
waa no clergyman in the paty, but
many of Honolulu's prominent young
men and a host of pretty young women.
Miss Julia Gately. a wealthy and tal
ented graduate of Smith, whose father
Is one of the big planters of Maui, led
at the first meeting, which was held
aboard the wardog West Virginia.
Four hundred sailors and marines stood
before her, but Slfss (lately was ready
with a half-hour's talk. She did not
mince matters, but' went right at the
boys and talked of their homes and
their souls principally their homes.
Then there was some good singing,
more talks, more music, this time the
sailors Joining. Then the evangelistic
party visited the other ships in their
order, the California, the South Dakota
and the Maryland, tied side by side
along the wharves'.
Srorm of Sailors Converted.
That was the beginning, a little over
tii months ago. Since then scores of
meetings have been hold aboard ship,
on the docks, at the Naval Station, in
the parks, and at Waikikl beach.
But. durlnw the past two weeks or
more the sailors have been flocking to
the churches. Central Union. Kplscopal,
Catholic, Methodist. Christian and Lu
theran, and hundreds have professed
openYv their conversion and a desire
to load better lives.
"A remarkable and glorious thing,"
comments Rev. Dr. Scu.dder, of the Cen
tral Union. "Half my hearers are of
the Navy these days."
"Truly a manifestation of the divine
power," says Bishop Restarlck, of St.

"I believe half the men of the fleet

and testified that Carlson had ap
proached him In front of the Sherwood
bar and unbosomed himself to the ef
fect that he was In the smuggling busi
ness and that it was easy money.
Plncus asserted that he had pleaded
with Carlson to unit the business for
the sake of his wife and children, and
that finally he had won a reluctant
promise.

for Preferential Ballot.
SPOKANE. March 8. The executive
committee of the Spokane Taft Club
refused today the proposal of the Spo
kane Roosevelt Club for a preferen
tial Presidential ballot of the Repub
lican voters of Spokane County. In re
fusing the proposal the Taft commit
tee said:
"As such a vote would have no bind
ing or legal significance it seems to us
that a large portion of the electors on
both sides would be indifferent and
the result would not be Indicative of
the true sentiment of the people.
Therefore It would be valueless."
C. B. Kegley. master of e Washing
ton State Grange, sen- o William B.
McKinley, chairman of the Taft cam
paign committee, a demand for a di
rect primary. After explaining that
the. National Grange at Its last con
vention Indorsed this method of choos
ing candidates, the telegram says:
"We hereby demand that you take
steps for expression by a primary vote
from the electorate of the American
people as to their preference for Re
publican nominee for President and
Vice-President of the United States."
According to the telegram, 500 or
ganized bodies are represented in this

Any chronic ulcer shows an unhealthy and impure condition of the
blood. It is a diseased condition of the flesh at that particular spot, caused
and kept inflamed and irritated by a continual discharge into it, of un
healthy matter from the circulation. No treatment can have any curative ef
fect except a medicine which wiil renovate the blood and entirely remove the
cause. Salves, washes, lotions, etc., are sometimes helpful in reducing in
flammation, cleansing the ulcer, or perhaps lessening the discharge, but such
applications do not reach the blood where the disease germs are located
and can never effect a cure. S. S S. goes down into the circulation,
drives out all impurities and morbid matter, and by nourishing the flesli
with rich pure blood causes the place to heal naturally and permanently.
S. S. S. does not make a surface cure, but by beginning at the bottom, and
rebuilding broken-down tissue, and supplying healthful, healing qualities to
the blood, causes the place to fill in with new, firm flesh, while it steadily
but surely effects a permanent cure. The ulcer can not exist when the
blood is pure, and S. S. S. will thoroughly purify the blood. Book on Sore3
