Their 'cases were Bet for next Wednes day. All want Jury trials. in passing on tne Jvenaner case. Judge Dayton said, with reference to the complainants, H. C. Roberts and A. R, Akerhlelm: " "There Is no question that they were not Imbued with a spirit of civic righteousness or a desire for law en forcement, but were out to "get" certain designated people. That is the Infer ence which any sensible person would draw from the evidence submitted. Judge Inpotu Complainants. "Like Judge McGinn I don't like the evidence of stool pigeons and for that reason I am disposed to impose the minimum fine in this case unless Mr. Kellaher says that he wants it raised to $25 so that he can appeal." Mr. Kellaher promptly said that such was. bis desire and he went on to say that he wants to get into Federal Court a question of the act violating the National Constitution as soon as possible. He intimated that he may join forces, with the Eugene tobaccoists. in whose case the Oregon Supreme Court recently held the law valid, if they want to go up. He said that he will continue acting as his own at torney throughout. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Oct. 27. Senator Chamberlain tomorrow will confer with the Presi dent and Secretary of War regarding the Army legislative programme which the President has approved. Inasmuch as it has been announced that this pol icy has been adopted by the President and indorsed by Representative Hay, chairman of the House military com mittee, Senator Chamberlain is expected to voice his approval and to pledge his support. The entire programme was made up before Senator Chamberlain !eft Oregon, and until he attends con ference tomorrow he will not learn the details. . This programme is different from that recommended by the Army War Collage and General Stan. President Wilson having revised their recommen dations and cut their estimates. Sena tor Chamberlain declared last January that Congress shoufd have before it the best Judgment of the Army experts, and Army men are hopeful that he will insist that the President shall send the War College recommendations to Con gress, along with his on programme. It is not believed, however, ho will make this request unless the President is willing to make public that report. It was announced at the White House that the chief object of the conference tomorrow is to arrange for prompt con sideration of the Army legislative pro gramme after it passes the House. "My idea." said Senator Chamberlain, "is not a big, bulky standing Army nor an expensive Army, but rather a small, well trained, efficient Army, with spe cial attention to be paid to trained ofcl cers, and more efficient National Guard and the organization of the youths of the Nation into something like the fcwiss system. "The big, important item, I believe. Is a large number of trained officers. I think it is generally understood that the success of the German forces has been due to their trained, skilled lead ership. Even now most of the agri cultural colleges of the country have military training as a part of their curriculum. "As to coast defenses, I belfev that the present ones should be maintained, but thit no new ones should be added." FRENCH EXPLODE MINES POWER PACT IS SIGNED state avd government to operate: in permits. Successful Attack on German Posi tions Near Lille Recorded. PARIS. Oct. 27. The following offi cial communication was issued by the Foreign Office tonight: "After having exploded in the neigh borhood of the road from Arras to Lille, to tlio southeast of Neuville-St. Vaast, a series of powerful mines, which destroyed the German entrench ments, our troops immediately occupied the excavations. They installed and Immediately maintained themselves there, notwithstanding a violent bom bardment and several counter-attacks by the enemy, who suffered serious losses. We captured about 30 prisoners." Facilitation of Acquisition of Sites and Elimination of Duplication Piw poae of Agreement SAT. KM. Or., Oct, 27. (Special.) Co operation between the states and the United States in the issuance of permits for water power development on lands withdrawn by the Government for water ppwer purposes, is provided in an agreement executed today between John H. Iewis, State Engineer, and Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the In terior. The agreement was executed on behalf of the state -and is now in force. The purpose of this co-operative agreement is to avoid duplication of work! and expense, to make available data obtained by both the state and the Government, and to facilitate the approval of applications for water rights for the occupancy and use of lands included in power site withdraw als in Oregon for power purposes. The agreement for co-operation, ac cording to Mr. Lewis, will mean the saving of large amounts of money to applicants for water. power permits. "Heretofore," said Mr. Lewis. "It has been necessary for those wishing to appropriate water for development pur poses first to secure a permit from the State, Engineer's office. This- involved the making of surveys and the payment of rather heavy fees. The permit was then presented to the Interior Depart-" ment for application for right' to occupy the power site withdrawal. Often the application was denied, making the money paid in fees to the state a total loss. "Under the new agreement applicants may file their requests with the state and Interior Department at the same time. This will greatly facilitate acaui- ition of power sites for development.

In a typewritten decision of 1000 words Recorder Loder today acquitted Andrew C. Baker, leader of the Full Uospel campmeetings at Mountain View, on a charge of disturbing the peace. The decision begins by stating that tne testimony ot 14 reputable wit nesses in no uncertain terms shows that the crowd at the place mentioned made loud noises ... sufficient to disturb the peace at said time and place.' and concludes with a statement that "the essential elements of guilt wro not technically proved, and with caution to the defendant that this de cision is not to be taken in any man ner as an approval of the loud and hideous methods carried on at the place mentioned ho is hereby acquitted. " George C. Brownell was Baker's attor ney and C. Schuebel represented the city. Recorder Loder recommends that Baker and his followers meet at some place removed from dwelling houses. The decision says further: "If the de fendant causes his patients to lie upon the floor and assume other compromls ing attitudes and positions, then the defendant is In duty hound to society to provide proper means ; for caring for such persons, otherwise what might be tolerated by his followers as religious and moral would be considered By so cietv as vulgar, immoral and indecent." Fourteen witnesses testified tnat members of the Full Gospel Mission made unusual and loud noises. The court said that the noise must be wilful and that no evidence was produced to show that the noise was maae xor toe purpose of disturbing anyone. The figures are based on Investiga tions made - last June and i July by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com pany, of: New York. When the De partment of Labor first began the compilation of statistics on unemploy ment it sent its representatives Into New York and the Metropolitan Com pany made a similar investigation through its agents.

OREGON CITY. Or, Oct. 17. (Bpe cial.) Twenty-nine years ago next month Gordon E. Hayes arae to Oregon City with a certificate entitling him to practice before the bar of the state. 13 law books and a promise to himself that he would retire as soon as his finances permitted. Today Judge Hayes announced that he had acquired enough to provide for himself for the rest of his life and would retire November 1. Judge Hayes was born in this county 56 years ago and is the son ot Captain H. E, Hayes, a pioneer of 1849, who is still living in Willamette. As a boy, he went to Portland and entered the law offices of Judge Edward Mendenhall, then one of tae state's most prominent attorneys. In 1886 he came to Oregon City and soon became a partner of L, T, Barin. then register of the Land Office, and prominent in Republican politics in the slate. Young Hayes came to Oregon City on a Saturday. Sunday he arranged, his 13 law books and his plain office furniture, and Monday he had a case In the Circuit Court. Judge McBride appointed Hayes Depr uty District Attorney lor tho county, an office which he held for five years, or until he was elected State Senator in 1892. In 1894 he was named County Judge, and at the end of his term, he dropped out of politics. Even now, Judge Hayes advises young men to stay out of politics. "At tend to your business, live economically and stay out of politics, is his motto, As the most remarkable feature ot his practice,- Judge Hayes considers the fact that in those 29 years he has taken only 15 days' vacation. His farm at Stafford will probably receive much of his attention after his retirement. Judge Hayes is a member of the Elks, Moose and Knights of Pythias lodges. Chicago Man Swindled.
