In the answer filed yesterday the

JUISVILLE, Oct. 10. Suit to test
constitutionality of the war-time
prohibition law was filed in federal
district court here today.
-WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. Enactment
of the prohibition enforcement bill
was completed today by congress with
the house adopting the conference re
port, already agreed to by the senate,
and sending the measure to the presi
dent for approval. Preceding the
house approval of the report by a
vote of 321 to 70, vain effort was
made to send it back to conference
with instructions to eliminate a sec
tion permitting state authorities to
issue search warrants.
Complete congressional approval of
the bill means that the days of two
and three-quarters beer are num
bered. The bill becomes effective as
soon as signed by President Wilson j
or within ten days, should his illness
prevent him from acting upon it. Si

CALIFORNIA BEAR STOLEN
Stanford Students Captnre Golden
Symbol of University.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo
Alto, Cal., Oct. 10. (Special.) The.;
golden bear, the symbol of the Uni
versity of California, which has made
periodical appearances at intercolle
giate football games, disappeared
from the Berkeley campus this week
and is now held in captivity on the
Stanford campus. A clever plan laid
by several Stanford students resulted
in the bear's capture.
College spirit has been dampened
at Stanford for many years because
of the fact that the famous Stanford
ax" is in the possession of the boys
at Berkeley.
It is expected that California will
attempt to regain possession of the
bear.
Admiral Grayson Gives Desired In
formation, but Refuses to Al
low Return to Duty.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. President
Wilson continued to gain strength to
day and his physicians announced
that his appetite had been restored
to a satisfactory state.
He was kept in his room again
during the day and was permitted to
see no one except the physicians and
members of his family. He talked
over several matters of public busi
ness, however, with Rear-Admiral
Grayson, his physician, who gave him
some detailed information he had
asked for.
The president now has been on the
mend for a week and his physicians
seemed much encouraged at his prog
ress, though they predicted tnat nia
recovery will continue to be very
slow.
At 10 o'clock tonight Dr. Grayson
issued the following bulletin: "The
president has again had a good day.
(Signed) "GRAYSON."
Fearing that exertion might retard
his steady progress toward recovery,
President Wilson's physicians again
ordered him to remain in his room.
This prescription the physician in
tends to carry out despite Mr. Wilson's
urgent request that he be permitted
to return to work.
President Wilson had another rest
ful night, and his physicians are satis
fied with the nourishment he Is tak

Rear-Admirals Grayson and Stitt and
Dr. Sterling Ruffin of this city.
A message of sympathy was re

indisposition, I earnestly wish your
prompt recovery."

BEND, Or.. Oct. 10. (Special.)
After a heated contest in which the
relative merits of La Grande and Pen
dleton were at issue, delegates from
the Union county seat in attendance
at the State Federation of Labor, con
vention today won the selection as
the 1920 convention city by a vote of
55 to 37. Astoria, whose representa
tives early in the convention had pre
ferred their claims for the honor,
dropped out of the race and divided
their support between the two chief
contesting cities.
Nomination of officers in prepara
tion for a referendum election at the
end of 30 days was completed at this
afternoon's session and adjournment
will be either tomorrow noon or even
ing. A number of delegates who had
not contemplated so lengthy a meet
ing were leaving for their homes to
night. An attempt to change entirely the
basic principles underlying organized
labor through a resolution indorsing
the "one-big-union" plan was neatly
sidetracked when the measure was
tabled by a vote of 37 to 26. Motion
for non-concurrence had previously
been lost. A resolution upholding the
doctrine of self-determination and fa
voring independence for the Irish, in
troduced by G. H. Baker and others
of Bend, carried, as did a recom-'
mendation to encourage the disem- j
ployment of married woruen.
Shorter Day Advocated.
Nearly an hour was taken up In de
bate over a resolution having as its
object, placing the convention on rec
ord as favoring a shorter working
day. Chief among the arguments
used against the measure was that it
would be inimical to the farming in
terests. That a shorter working day
would provide a greater amount of
employment and would not hamper
production on account of increased
efficiency were the chief arguments
used by the backers of the measure,
led by E. R. Dodds of Portland and
L. W. Buck, secretary-treasurer of
the Washington federation. The res
olution was carried by a decisive ma
jority. Featuring the business of the morn
ing session was the passage of a res
olution handled through the laws and
legislation committee asking the fur
nishing of free textbooks for the pub
lic school of the state, and one sug
gesting a change in existing laws to
provide for the gradual adoption of a
state-owned plant to make possible
the laying of hard-surfaced roads at

uiscussion or resolutions calling for
Jail Preferred to Giving Up Only
Means of Earning Living He
Knows; Death May Result.
"I am too old to learn a new trade.
I I cannot accept a pardon under
those terrible conditions."
The voice of Ham -Kautzman, for
mer editor of the Columbia Herald,
trembled, for he is an old man and
the thought of banishment from the
state and the necessity of giving up
the business to which he bad devoted
his life if he was to escape serving a
year more in jail was a staggering
blow.
Kautzman, in the Multnomah county
jail, had just been informed of the
fact that Governor Olcott had par
doned him conditionally upon his
leaving the state and refraining from
newspaper work.
"My newspaper has suspended pub
lication and I am virtually ruined,
but my only hope of making a living
is in the newspaper busniess," he con
tinued, running his hand through hair
which 72 years had whitened. "If I
must leave the state and can have no
more to do with the only trade I
know, I would become a public charge
on some other state. I prefer to stay-
in jail."
A reputable physician has informed
Governor Olcott that it is homicide to
keep the ld man longer in prison,
because 'of his frail physical condi
tion, which is being seriously endan
gered by the confinement. It was
on this information that the pardon
was issued.
The old man was sentenced to six
months' imprisonment and fined 1500
for the publication of obscene matter
in his paper. He had no money and
was forced to serve time in lieu of
the fine, his total sentence thus run
ning up to 490 days. He was com
mitted to the Multnorn.ah county jail

times without number to a crowd that

As the train was about to draw out,

climbed aboard the first of the two

Luncheon in Hnlln-uy Cab.
They waved their handkerchiefs
to the queen sitting on the observa
tion platform as the train crawled
up and through the mountains. They
ate their luncheon in the cab with
the railroad men.
Not content with the view from
the cab, they clambered to the top of
the baggage car five miles east of
Blue canyon and rode there for sev
eral miles, Leopold clinging to his
father's hand to keep from falling
