Wright's, cor, 4th and Alder gretted that Attorney-General Brown would bo unaHe to file an extensive brief in the Utah water-power case now before the United States Supreme Court, though he said the Attorney General's decision to file a. statement incorporating merely the Governor's views on the question of state versus Federal control of water-powers would be satisfactory in a measure. As a reason for his attitude con cerning the Executive's request, Attorney-General Brown said today that he disagreed with the Governor's views on the question. "The Governor believes in state con trol and regulation of water power sites, with which I disagree." said Mr. Brown. "However. I will file a brief containing the Governor's views. The midden advancement of the case for hearing to April 3 makes it impossible for me to prepare an extensive brief.

RESIDENCE IS QUESTIONED Eastern Oregon Jeffersonlans De clare National Delegates Ought to Eat and Sleep in District to Be Represented. LA GRANDE, Or., March 30. (Spe cial.) Democracy In Eastern Oregon promises to have the greatest Interne cine combat In years over the an nounced, candidacy of Will R. King, delegate to the National convention in St. Louis from the Eastern Oregon dis trict. Prior to his announcement numerous' Democrats, among them Fred J. Holmes, prominent La Grande banker and chairman of the Woodrow Wilson Club here; Will Peterson, well-known Pendleton v Democrat, and several others, withdrawn since the race nar rowed down to the final personnel, presumed that the delegateship would be allotted to someone Tecognized as an Eastern Oregon citizen. Originally County Clerk Bilyeu, of Enterprise, was a candidate, but he withdrew, and the race then narrowed to Mr. Holmes and Mr. Peterson, which suited all con cerned, for two are to be elected. Then enters Mr. King and. upsets the whole layout. This same act has not only angered the Democrats who haven't a question mark after their place of abode to indicate the uncer tainty as to location In fact, but Re publicans are expressing their sympa thy to the true-blue Eastern Oregon candidates. There is no denying that Democracy is sputtering with excite ment. The reason advanced by Democrats friendly to anybody of merit except Mr. King is that they dispute his claim to Oregon residence. Mr. King was once a candidate for Governor, but was defeated. He pulled up stakes at Ontario and moved to Walla Walla, it la pointed out, and to all practical purposes became a resi dent of that state, the Democrats say.' When a recent Legislature provided additional Supreme Court Judges. Mr. King was named and Portland and Sa lem became his headquarters. if not his home. After being elected to the National committee there followed pro longed dispute over the size and na ture of the political plum to which he was entitled and eventually It was de termined he should become adviser to the Reclamation Department. with headquarters at Washington. The old Eastley fight comes up again to fan the flames and Democrats here are frank to say that the delegateship should lie between Democrats who have shouldered responsibility and es tablished their fidelity through long years of party allegiance and who eat and sleep in Eastern Oregon. There is no gainsaying that on this matter the Democratic party of East ern Oregon faces serious disruption and some predict it will extend to greater territory before it is over.

The notes returned will be sent back to the signers, announced Mr. Evans. They comprise the usurious interest n.otes of the State Security Company, but the notes for the principals are al lowed to remain in the possession of Ware. To make the victory of the District Attorney's office complete. Ware agreed to go out of business in this state. He also gave the promise of J. Wiesen and J. Richards, of the State Security Com pany, which is a loan concern having branches all over the United States, and headquarters in New York, that if the company remained in Oregon it would incorporate. Fine Is Affirmed. The loan shark was indicted two years ago in a sweep made by District Attorney Evans. While others paid their fines. Ware fought his case to the highest court in Oregon. He ap pealed from the fine of $500 levied by Circuit Judge McGinn, and on February 8, last, the decision of Judge McGinn was affirmed by the Supreme Court. "To the United States Supreme Court," was Ware's announcement at that time, backed by the big organization of which the State Security Company of Portland was but a branch. At the time of the cleanup of loan sharks, $23,000 worth of notes held by Ware were seized by Special Agent Geren of the District Attorney's office, and despite howls of anger, were held as evidence. Of these, $3258.85 were forjisurious interest. Two Notea Given. The method used by Ware's company, which was exposed in the relentless prosecution of Deputy District Attorney John Collier, provided for the issuance of two notes to every person who bor rowed money from Ware. For instance, a person would borrow $75. He would receive $75 and would give Ware a note for that amount at the legal rato of interest. Then he would be made to give another note for $25 to J. Rich ards, of the State Security Company. He received no money for this second note, but this enabled the firm to col lect $25 interest on the loan of $75, without apparent evasion of the law. Hundreds of families were found to be hopelessly in the toils of the loan shark'. Ia many instances many times the original amount borrowed had been paid back with a heavy balance still cut. Interest at 10 per cent was de manded on all the notes after maturity.' There were 310 notes held by the clerk of the Supreme Court during the ap peal. A stipulation was entered into by Ware and District Attorney Evans yes terday in which it was set forth that all exhibits on file with the Supreme Court would be returned to the appel lant. Ware, save the promissory notes payable to the State Security Company. The notes were all for loans of from three to six months' duration, and are all due now.
