DEPUTY FIGHTS BUT LOSES Previous Attempt Made to Saw Way to Freedom and Men Are Iut in Steel Cage, but Combi nation Is Smashed. EUGEXE, Or Nov. 30. (Special.) ' With the jailer bound and locked in the innermost cell, four prisoners care fully locked up the County Jail and escaped at 5 o'clock tonight. Scores of people saw them leave the Jail and walk quietly through the busi ness section. Fifteen minutes later the Sheriff passed and found everything: in normal order. Five minutes after this the cries of the imprisoned guard gave tne first alarm. The men are Forest Daugherty and James Clergy, to have been sentenced tomorrow for burglary, and Joe Thomas and James Allen, hardened criminals, whom the Sheriff picked up with stolen goods. Every road out of the county is watched and gunplay is expected be fore capture Is effected. . The same men sawed in two with a bread knife a bar on the window of the Jail less than two weeks ago, and were being: kept in steel cages as a precau tion. Their escape was cleverly executed. The steel cage in the jail is divided into cells. These cells are unlocked from a central control in a steel box outside of the cages. One man was allowed outside of the cage to prepare supper, and this man had pried open' the steel box, broken the padlock holding the central control, allowing one confed erate to come outside. The other two remained in their cells to give a normal appearance. But the cells were left unlocked. The steel box was then closed, and when George Croner, Deputy Sheriff. opened the jail everything appeared k normal. As he reached up to unlock the control box the confederate Jumped on him from behind a door, the other men stepped from their cells and the four men attacked him. The struggle lasted for 12 minutes and was a terrific fight for the posses sion of the officer's gun. "1 got my hand on my gun and was slowly drawing it into position," said Croner. "I was within one inch of shooting position when another threw Mis hand over the hammer." IDLE, FED, WON'T WORK Manager or City Hotel Quits When Unemployed Will Not Help. SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 30. Henry Pauly, manager of tbe Hotel Liberty, equipped by the city for the purpose of caring for the unemployed, resigned today, saying that he had found among 832 men at the institution not enough help to do the work about the place. The men had refused even to carry in wood or potatoes. Last year Pauly was manager of the otel de Gink, -which, being not directly under city control, excluded all men not willing to work. In the new hotel all comers are accepted. Within the past week many men have been arrested for going into restau rants, eating gluttonously and then refusing to pay their bills, saying they had no money. This method of get ting food -was recommended by speak ers at a recent meeting of unemployed, with Mayor Gill and Chief of Police Griffiths seated on the stage. STARVING WOMAN FOUND Seattle Needy Lack Material to Bake Bread lor Sale. SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 30. (Special.) "They haven't enough to eat, much less anything which they could cook to sell." That is the state of things Miss Katherlne Mitchell, city sanitary in spector, found in some of the homes she visited Saturday afternoon in the course of her inspection of homes of women who had registered at tbe Women's Co-Operatlve Exchange, stall 49, at the Pike Place Market. When the Mothers' Congress, with the backing of the general relief com mittee, etsablished the exchange a few daVs ago, it opened an opportunity for many needy women to place the work of their hands on sale. And it also opened vistas for further need, for some of them who applied for permits have not, according to' Miss Mitchell, the necessary material to make even the first batch of bread or doughnuts or jam. BEACH SAND YIELDS GOLD Stiner at Marshfield Says He Gets $2 8 a Ton From Ledge. MARSHFIELD. Or.. Nov. 30. (Spe cial.) Samuel Archer, on experienced early-day miner, is exhibiting samples of back beach black sand formation whicn assays $26 a ton. Mr. Archer is mining on the Government reserva tion at Charleston Bay and is working on a four-foot ledge. Fifty pounds of tailings from his washer netted him a $16 check from a Puget Sound smelter.

After a conference tomorrow with her physician. Dr. Giesv. of Aurora, the District Attorney probably will reach a aecision. sheriff Mass has not ex plained why the woman was taken into custody without a complaint or warrant. x William Sohn. the woman's husband. has retained George C. Brownell to ngnt whatever steps the county offi cials may take. Mr. Brownell believes that she- is now rational and was suf fering from temporary insanity when she killed her children. Mrs. Sohn now seems to be fully conscious of her plight. She maintains, as she did when her husband found her after the shooting, that the children are better dead than they were. She shows no grief over the tragedy. Mrs. Sohn shows the effects of the isolated life she has lived in the Boone Ferry cabin. She was married at 15 and the first child came a year later. Her closest neighbor was some dis tance away and the loneliness seems to have had its effect on her.

Voters of Oregon have sanctioned several amendments to the state con stitution by the initiative route, but in the mind of Attorney-General Crawford and A. W Korblad. City Attorney of Astoria, the validity of the measures wait on the formal proclamation of Governor West er'his successor. In the meantime in cities and towns of Oregon holding any kind of an elec tion, there is a general mix-up, partic ularly on the qualification of those of foreign birth. The controversy arose at the primary election in Astoria. November 9, after it was practically established that the amendment changing the qualifications of alien voters had carried by a safe vote. City Attorney Norblad ruled that the statutes - of Oregon showed the measure was not in effect at that timd and that all aliens, who voted under the old qualifications, were eligible. Others contended the bj measure, known to have passed, was in effect, and that City Attorney Norblad was in the wrong.- - - Need of Edict Asserted. Attorney Norblad passed through Portland yesterday after consulting with Attorney-General Crawford and obtaining from him a ruling as to when the amendments' become effective. The ruling by Mr. Crawford is to the effect that none of the Initiative measures proposing a constitutional amendment, which passed, ia in effect until the Governor so proclaims it. after the vote has been certified. The ruling is expected to develop a controversy, as the law governs inl- QTANFIELD. Or.. Nov. 30. (Special.) Robert N. Stanfleld.

Official Gives Opinion. Attorney-General Crawford's opin ion Is: In accordance with your request for our opinion as to when the amendment of sec tion 2 of Article II of the constitution ot the State of Oregon so as to require voters to be citizens of the United states, and known as "citizenship amendment," goes into effect, I beg to amy that the time when tne constitutional amendment .goes into et fect is governed by section 1 of Article XVII of the constitution, which provided among otner tmngs as rouowi: "If the majority of the electors voting on any such amendment shall vote In favor thereof. It shall thereby be come a part ot this constitution. The votes fur and against such amendment or amendments, severally, whether proposed by the Legislative assem bly or by Initiative petition, shall be can vassed by the secretary of State in tbe presence of the Governor, and if it shall appear to the Governor that the majority of the votes cast at said election on sail amendment or amendments severally are cast In favor thereof, it shall be his duty forthwith after such canvass, bv his nroc lama t ion to declare the said amendment or amendments, severally, having received said majority of votes, to have been adopted by the people of Oregon as part of the con stitution thereof, and the same shall be in errect as a part of the constitution from the date of such proclamation." Proclamation Date Boles. Tou will notice that the constitution pro. vldes "Same shall be In effect as a part of the constitution from the date of such proc lamation." It seems to us that this needs no construction, as the language is clear ana explicit and refers, of course, to constitu tional amendments, whether proposed by the legislative assembly or by Initiative petition. On the other hand sections 1 and 1-a of article IV cover initiative and referendum measures and vrovides, among other things: "Any measure referred to the people shall take effect and become a law when it Is approved by a majority of the votes cast thereon and not otherwise." But this, of course, refers, as before stated, to statutes and rot to fundamental law. In other words a difference Is made between statutory measures and constitu tional amendmenta Prison Sentence Passed for Theft. WALLA WALLA, Wash., Nov. 30. (Special.) Glenn A.
