1 MEMBERS FINAL JUDGES
Constitution Uses Word "He" but
Clear Purpose Is to Define Quali
fications In Other Respects,
rorht Is Discussed.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Nov. 17. Since It became defi
nitely known that Miss Jeartette Rankin
has been elected to Congress from
Montana, speculation has been started
in certain quarters as to her eligibility
to a seat under the Federal Constitu
tion. It Is the best judgment of con
stitutional lawyers that Miss Rankin
vvill be seated when she brings her
credentials, showing election by a plur
ality of the voters of her state.
There Is a slight technicality on
which to hinge speculation as to Miss
Rankin's right to a seat, but while this
situation exists the Constitution also
provides that the House of Representa
tives shall be the Judge of the "election
and qualification" of its members. If
the question of Miss Rankin's right to
a seat Is raised In December. 1917. the
House itself must determine whether
or not she is to be seated.
Constitution Says "He."
The Constitution provides that "no
person shall be a Representative who
shall not have attained t'.ie age of 25
years and been seven years a citizen of
the United States, and who shall not,
when elected, be an inhabitant of that
state in which 'he' shall be chosen'
The clear purpose of this provision was
to insure the election to Congress of
residents of the states In which the
candidates were running and was to
prevent the election of a citizen of one
fctate as Representative from another
state. . The little word "he" is all upon
which some base their question as to
Miss Rankin's eligibility.
If that question is raised formally
when Miss Rankin presents her cre
dentials and appears before the House
to be sworn in, the House Itself must
decide whether she Is to be barred be
cause of this wording of the Constitu
tion. A vote to seat Miss Rankin would
be a recognition of the right of the
- states to prescribe the qualification of
Voters, while a vote to unseat Miss
Rankin would be a slam at the women
voters of every state which has equal
suffrage.
Rejection Highly Improbable.
In view of the voting power of wom
en, as shown in the recent election. It
is hardly to be believed that a majority
of the next House of Representatives
will go on rcord as opposing the seating
of the first woman ever elected to Con
gress. Certainly the Republicans will
not so vote, for In the first place they
know the political significance of turn
ing down the lone Republican member
from Montana, and furthermore they
are aware that if she were rejected
there would be a Democrat in her place.
The Democrats, believing themselves
deeply Indebted to the women voters
for their success in the Prsidentlal
election, will not go out of their way
openly to invite the future opposition
of women voters generally, as they
would do by voting to unseat Miss
Rankin. Viewed, therefore, from both
the legal and the political standpoints,
it would seem certain that Miss Rankin
is destined to be accepted as a member
of the next House, regardless of the
personal wishes of individual members.
It is little short of ridiculous to sup
pose that a majority of the new House
would vote to deny Miss Rankin the
honor Ol being the first woman to be
come a member of Congress.

BERLIN, Nov. 17. by wirelees to Say-
vllle, X. Y. Seven ammunition steam
ers recently were blown up In the har
bor of Archangel, according to a bus-
sian newspaper published in Arcnangei,
says the Overseas News Agency, which
quotes the paper as saying:
"This evening Archangel was terri
fied by an appalling noise. It seemed
that the whole port was aflame. At
6:15 P. M. seven ammunition steamers,
which had arrived in the morning, were
blown up. The explosion was so enor
mous that Iron fragments or snips xeii
700 yards away. The port for several
minutes resembled a burning volcano,
and pieces of glowing iron fell. All the
port 'establishments were endangered
(deleted by Russian censor). Thus 37
storehouses were razed. The damage is
estimated (suppressed by censor) mil
lions of rubles.
"According to the latest statement
(number suppressed by censor) corpses
were found. Seven hundred and sixty-
three severely injured persons were
taken to hospitals. However, the num
ber of victims will be found to be con
siderably larger when the ground has
been cleared. Access to tne port ais
trict continues to be forbidden."
Dispatches to the Exchange Tele
graph Company from Stockholm on No

Daner as saying that the Russian am
munition steamer the Baron Breceni
was blown ud in the harbor of Arch
angel, causing the death of 150 persons
and wounding 6o0.
LIQUOR CASE MAY GO UP
DECISION THAT GIFT IS SOT VIOLA-
ATI ON' AROUSES INTEREST.
to settle definitely how far the gifts of
liquor are prohibited outside of dwell
ing houses.
Portland attorneys interested In the
prohibition movement see no occasion
for alarm in the derision of Judge J.
W. Knowles, of La. Grande.
"It will make no difference in the
enforcement of the prohibition law,"
said ex-Governor Oswald West. "Thi
state is dry, and the people want It to
be dry. Even were the judge's ruling
to affect the present law, the new
'bone-dry' law, passed last week, will
stop people from giving away liquor as
soon as the Legislature passes the nec
essary laws."
. A. L. Veazie. well-known attorney,
said that the present law never con
templated the prohibition of giving
liquor away.
'We decided that issue soon after the
aw went into effect," said Mr. Veazie.
A family gave away liquor at a wed
ding celebrations. They were arrested.
but the case was dropped as no viola
tion of the law could be proved. When
we drafted the present law we did not
ntend to make it a crime to give booze
away. The Eastern Oregon Judge dldn t
offer anything new. There is no need
to be alarmed, as no one ever will give
enough of the stuff away to make it
profitable. Anyway, the new 'bone-dry'
law will eliminate any loophole In the
present law that would permit the con
tinuation of the liquor traffic under tne
guise of giving it away."

LA GRAJJDE, Or., Nov. 17. (Spe
cial.) The recent ruling of Circuit
Judge Knowles in a prohibition nquqr
prosecution, holding that a gift of in
toxicating liquor without allegation of
consideration Is not an offense, is as
turning widespread interest.
The defendant was indicted and
charged with unlawfully giving away
alcohol, for the purpose of evading the
provision of the prohibition act. The
state contended that the law makes
gift for the purpose of evading the
provisions of the prohibition law a sale,
The defendant contended that a mere
gift of liquor, except in connection
with some shift, subterfuge or device,
in a single instance is not prohibited.
The state contended that a Jury should
determine whether the giving away
was for the purpose of evading the
prohibition law.
Judge Knowles ruled that an Indict
ment showing only the fact of delivery,
without consideration, charged no of
fense and that the prohibition law goes
no further than the local option law,
and directed a verdict of not guilty,
No question of possession or disposal
by persons actually In attendance
a dance or public gathering, which is
specifically" forbidden by law, or of
gift by one person to a gathering of
persons, or of disposal at a private
dwelling house, arose In this case.

Secretary of State Howell was the
first speaker when the convention
convened this morning. He outlined
some of the proposed road measures
which will probably come up before

ment of Agriculture. Mr. Finch's of
fce is in Portland end he came to the
convention to explain the provisions

Mr. Finch declared that not only has
there been a lack of co-operation be
tween the different communities In
the building of roads, but there has
been actual conflict, lie congratulated
the state of Washington on its good
roads association and asserted that, as
a result of this organization's efforts.
Washington Is 10 years ahead of Ore
gon In road construction. .
At the closing session the next State
Legislature was asked to pass a law
preventing deterioration of roads by
overloading and excessive speeding and
a law requiring all horse-drawn ve
hicles to display a lieht at night on

recommended that the levy of 1 H mfll
for permanent highways be continued
at leait until the present road-building
programme Is concluded, and that the
maintenance fund for state roads be
increased from 7 '-j per cent to 10 per
cent of the total permanent highway
