ED MASTERPIECE E ViD ER MOT ON .Oregon Law on Free Speech and Assemblage Upheld. HEARINGS ARE SCHEDULED Decision. Removes Legal Obstacles to Trial or Alleged I. W. W. Cases in. Portland. "Courts of the United States never have held that persons have a con stitutional rigrht to assemble to con coct crime, advocate the destruction of property or to plan the invasion of liberties guaranteed by this gov ernment!" In these words. Presiding Circuit Judge John JltCourt yesterday dis posed of the argument of Attorney tleorge Vanderveer, representing 22 alleged I. W. W. indicted under the Ftate criminal syndicalism act, that the Oregon law was unconstitutional in attacking the right of free speech and assemblage. The ruling of Judge McCourt -was rn part of his decision, rendered at 2:30 yesterday afternoon, overruling the demurrer of Vanderveer to the indictment of Tom Waldon, accused of being active in the 1. W. W. or ganization. Similar orders were issued overruling 21 other demurrers on identical grounds. Had the demur rers been sustained, the indictments would have been declared void and the I. W. W. in the county jail freed. The decision sweeps away legal obstacles to trials in the circuit court t-his spring, and also affects seven indictments of alleged labor com munist to which demurrer had been made. Efforts to obtain an early trial for the alleged "wobblies" will not be successful, as Judge McCourt declared yesterday that he was disposed to grant the request of Vanderveer for postponement of trial dates until iviarch for the reason that the at torney is handling the defense in the Centralia murder cases being tried at Montesano, Wash., and probably would not be through with them be lore that time. Attorneys! Hard to Get, "I realize that the defendants in these cases are finding difficulty in finding attorneys to represent them." said Judge McCourt. W. S. U'Ren and R. F. Mulkey, who had represented them originally withdrew in favor of vanderveer and James h enton. Fen ton withdrew last week in favor of J. F. Emigh of Butte, Mont. Emigh .said he intended to return to Butte an soon as the demurrers were dis posed of and would not represent the. I. W. W. at their trial. The state was represented by Walter H. Evans, district attorney, and Earl Bernard deputy. "While this court is not compelled to permit the attorney for these men to try numerous other cases in other jurisdictions while holding up prog ress of the . courts in Multnomah eounty, I am inclined to accede to the demand for a second postpone ir.ent that the defendants may be deprived of any complaint regarding the- manner of their prosecution,' concluded the jurist. In discussing the demurrer before him. Judge McCourt first read the criminal syndicalism law passed by the 1919 legislature, pointed out an obvious grammatical error in the use of the word "become" instead of "becomes," and read the indictment which charged, in the language of the statute, that the accused "helped to organize, became a member of and voluntarily assembled with a society advocating criminal acts. "The first point in the demurrer Is that the indictment is duplicitous he said, in that three separate offenses are charged. Ntne of the three methods by which It is charged the crime was committed are repug nant to the others. There is a uni versal rule of law that such is per missible. They may merely be cumu lative." Several supreme court deci sions on this point were cited. "The second claim is that the in dictments are not sufficiently definite to apprise the defendant of the spe cific acts which he must defend Under the Oregon law it is suffi eient, ordinarily, to charge the offense in the language of the statute, as was done in this instance. All that is re quired is that the indictment name the offense for which the defendan will be called to answer. Wording Held Definite. "It Is particularly claimed tha ilielped to organize" is anything bu specific, and should be set out in more aetau. xnat is not, in me opinion o the court, a fatal defect in the "dictment. The defense concedes tha 'become a member of and "assembling :"with" are as definite as could be re tired. An indictment valid in two ,vay charges is not subject to de Imurrer against one phrase. If the i first is defective, it merely would be .'egarded as surplusage. "The claim further Is made that 'persons are guaranteed by state and national constitutions the right to i assemble. But they are not granted " a right to assemble for unlawful pur i poses.

(Continued From First Pace.) MORE CHILIS APPEAR AUDITORIUM CASK CAUSES OTIIKR PLEAS TO COUNCIL. Bill for Alleged Losses in Sewer Construction Several Years Ago Is Revived. Fear that consideration of the claim filed by the bondsmen of Hans Peder son, who constructed the public audi otrium, against the city would open wide the flood gates of claims from contractors who have sustained losses during recent years In carrying out itv contracts was in a way substan tiated yesterday when the city coun cil was requested to consider the claims "of the Alexis Contract company. The claims were rued several years ago and were in connection with the construction of the Kast Alder-street sewer. It has been rumored that steps will be taken soon to bring the city coun cil's attention to losses sustained by the Pearson Construction company, which built the viaducts crossing the O.-W. R. & N. company's tracks on th,e east side at various points. This work "was carried on during the war. with alleged heavy losses. The claim of the bondsmen for Hans Pederson will come officially before the city council this morning.. At an informal -meeting yesterday the .ma jority members of the city council refused to agree to submit the matter to arbitration, or to give the matter any further consideration. "The city is not asked to pay off hand the claims presented for con struction of the auditorium," said J. C. Bayer, trustee for the creditors, yesterday. "All that is asked is arbi tration by fair-minded men, who should be architects, engineers or contractors of experience. I believe the city should not receive something for nothing, any more than should an individual.

WAREHOUSE BODY VOTED Clackamas Farmers' Union to Or ganize Association. OREGON CITY. Or., Jan. 27. (Spe cial.) A meeting of the County Farmers' union at Beacon Heights Friday was largely attended. Talks were made by J. 13. Brown, formerly president of the State Farmers' union; F. A. Sykes, secretary of the state union, of Corvallis; Hector McPer son, who has -charge of the bureau of markets d-epartment at the Oregon Agricultural college, and R. G. Scott, county agent of Clackamas county. It was voted to organize a ware house association at Beaver Creek, on the Willamette Valley Southern railway line, and a committee was ap pointed to investigate sites. It was proposed to sell stock at $50 a share. The committee is composed of Pres ident Berger, John Gard, secretary; J. K. Jones, N. Scribner and Fred Kamrath. and General Passenger Agent Scott plans for the reopening of the South ern Pacific general offices, which on February 1 will come under control of Federal Manager W. R. Scott of the Southern Pacific system lines. While no official announcement has been made, it is known that the com pany holds the offices in the Yeon building under a ten-year lease, of which only about three years have run, and the return of the general offices to that location will probably be announced this week. "The president of the United States has set March 1 as the date for the return of the railroads," said Mr. Sproule. just after his arrival at the union station. "Assuming that the roads are returned on that day. the Southern Pacific will be soliciting freight and passenger traffic and be giving service of the high character that the public expects. There is nothing pending at tjie present time of special public interest. "Necessarily, until congress enacts" law and the presideiifcpproves it, the stockholders and those who represent them will not know conditions under which roads will function thereafter. If legislation is passed that enables those who have money to put it into fhe railroad business with assurance I that it will be secure and give them a fair return, tne ranroaas win by such enactments be enabled to go ahead in planning improvements and expansion, and in the purchasing of engines, cars and other equipment needed to serve the public. .. Railroads Must-Compete. "The essential question is whether the railroads shall be allowed earn ings enough to permit them to com pete with other industries in other lines, which they must have to accom plish these things that the public ex- 1 pects. The railroads have no use for money for any other purpose except to accomplish this result and this re sult is in the public interest. "One of the proposals is that the government, either through the inter state commerce commission or some other qualified jurisdiction shall pass upon all issues of stock and other securities hereafter. This will assure the public against any exploitation, and any railroads that have been con servatively financed as the Southern Pacific has been, looks with favor on this step, which is all that Is needful to safeguard the public interest. "There is no state more interested in railroad, expansion and improve ment and good railroad service than the state of Oregon, and no city of its class haa more at stake than Port land. "Announcement of the president that the roads would be returned March 1 has led many earnest people to the mistaken conclusion that the railroad problem has been solved. So they have ceased to support their congressmen and senators in seeking an adequate solution of the railroad question that will enable the roads to be returned under conditions that will permit them to finance properly and fully. "Congress undoubtedly desires to enact constructive legislation that will accomplish this, but it needs the continued support of the great body of citizens In work of their represen tatives. unis should be followed up actively, especially as the forces that are not constructive can be relied upon to be very active. "A good deal has been said about the very high wages that the rail roads are now paying, which added to the high cost of materials makes rail road operation very expensive. It should in fairness be said that the railroads have no quarrel with high wages and the like, provided only that they be permitted to earn the money to pay the wages and buy the materials and produce the return any solvent, going business, is entitled to receive on its investment. "The fact is that the man who is paid the high wages, working com petently and diligently for eight hours a day, is cheaper than the man at low wages who is a shirker in doing his work, for the shirker i dear at any price. The quality of the work and the output are the questions that will tell in the long run. - Acquaintance I Renewed. "My visit has no significance.', ex cept a desire to renew my acquaint ance in Oregon and to bring up to date my knowledge of conditions that prevail In this great etate-. . "The Southern Pacific Oregon lines will on Ffebruary 1 be turned, over to the jurisdiction of W. R. Scott, federal manager. During federal con trol and up to February 1 they have been under the control of Federal Manager O'Brien, who is an admira ble official, greatly liked by every official who knows him. whether in this state or out of it, and in or out of federal control. "The federal officials residing in Oregon have been handling the op eration and control of the Oregon lines of the Southern Pacific, and my observations today have led me MR. SPROULE SKES ROSEBURG Southern Pacific Head and Part; Pay City Short Visit. ROSEBCEG, Or., Jan. 27. (Spe cial.) En route to Portland on an in spection trip over the coast lines of the Southern Pacific company. Pres ident William Sproule, Charles S. Fee, of the passenger department; G. W. Luce, freight traffic manager; J. M. Scott, general passenger agent; F. A. Mercier. of the northern division, and H. A. Hinshaw, general freight agent, stopped off in this city for a short time today. Referring to railroad plans. Presi dent Sproule stated that new arrange ments for operating the lines will go into effect February 1, at which time the lines in Oregon will pass from control of the northwestern division and go under supervision of the cen tral eastern division. He urged that commercial bodies of all cities and towns take immediate action toward securing congressional enactments which will enable the railroad companies to treceive back ana operate tneir properties on a sound basis. - 544 EX-SQLDIERS ENTER REGISTRATION STILL OPEN FOR FREE NIGHT SCHOOL.

' The charge of "mashing" was not pressed, owing to the fact that Mrs. Mites refused to sign the complaint. Murphy was arrested by Patrol man Pratt after Mrs. Miles had broken the handle of her umbrella over the head of the. alleged "masher" and pursued him down the street. AIDA - - Opera In Four Ats. by VerdL Aida Bettina Freeman Amneri. ......... Stella Do Mette Radames. . Manuel Salazar Amonanro. .... ..... Mario Valle Ramfia Pletro de Biasi Kins of Egypt.. .iat&le Cervi BY JOSEPH MACQUEEN. Glowing with warm, oriental color. in magnificent stage display, and in terpreted by more than one star song trd, the dazzling presentation of the Verdi opera "Aida," last night in the public auditorium by the San Carlo grand opera company, left those lucky enough to be present thanking their good fortune they were there to hear. 'Aida" is that rare opera in which the opera singing stars are not all in 11 although they are great but where the exotic stage scenery and eneral stage picture help materlally to make the event memorable. Manuel Salazar, Costa Rican and ne of the big star tenors of his age. came into his own last night when he faced the large expectant crowd and sang the stirring music allotted to Radames, the Egyptian general. Gold- n-voiced and full-chested, Salazar has the heroic tenor voice that the Id Italian masters dreamed about and ncounteredi but rarely in, days when art was much and the rush for dollars looked at askance. In our own day. talo Campanini was and Caruso is of this starry school. Salazar is one of that galaxy of stars. In the famous aria and impassioned love song "Celeste Aida," suns; so thrillingly last night by Salazar. he won the plaudits of the entire audi ence. The aria is in the key of G and its range is from low C 'way up high B flat, with an added high in interpolation, if desired. It was not alone those shining, starry high notes of four high B flats in which Salazar won out in that scene, but also in the beauty of his singing that led up to them. In acting, he also made a heroic Radames. In the scene where amid blaring brass he returns from his victories over the Egyptians, he looked a conqueror. Stella De Mette has a fine dramatic sonrano voice which she used to good effect in singing the part or Amneris. She is an experienced opera star, and gives ber presentation ttiat finish and smoothness so necessary to stage success. The Aida of Miss Bettina Free an. on American prima donna from Chicago, has much to recommend it. She was capitally made up as the Ethopian princess, and sang with grace and marked distinction. This her first visit to the Pacific coast with the San Carlos, and she has made good. Mario valle, baritone, made a real istic Amonasro, and his splendid. resonant voice made many friends. His make-up as the Ethopian king looked well from the front seats, but at the rear of the house not so effective. Pietro De Biasl as the high priest was quite awe-inspiring and artistic, both in voice and stage make-up. Scenlcally the opera was mag nificent. The scene at the temple of Vulcaa was thrilling, with the burn ing of sacred fire; two rows of bearded priests chanting praise to their particular god. and the high priest blessing the general's sword before the incensed-crowned altar. Rows of huge pillars led the spec tator in fancy to look into the dim distance of mists. In the scene where Amonasro is brought before the king as a captive. the old Egyptian stage setting was faithfirlly followed, and everything in stage properties looked ancient, as the text calls for, except that the brass band used was too modern. The ancient Egyptians at the time of the Pharoahs didn't know about tubas and cornets in their bands of music. last night's stage band ought to have been better . camouflaged. Aida" is accepted as an Italian opera, although its music is oriental and scenes set in old Egypt in the time of one of the Pharaohs, an an cient worthy probably who lived around the year litno B. C. High brows rule that "Aida" is Italian, be cause it was written in Italian and was composed by an Italian. Originally designed for the opnning of the opera house in Cairo, Egypt which event took place in 189 Verdi's fee for his music score was $20,000, with 10,000 additional if he went to Egypt and directed his music. But he had a horror of sea-sickness and hesitated so long that the Franco-German war of 1870-71, broke in among his musings. The scenery, painted in Paris, was held in the German ring of fire. Ul timately, when peace was declared, the opera was produced. in, Cairo in December, 1871, and was a tre mendous success. When the opera was produced In La Scala. Milan, in February, 1872. under the personal direction of Verdi, he was recalled 32 times and pre sented with an ivory baton and dia mond star, .with the name of Aida set in rubles, and Verdi in other precious stones. In music scope, "Aida" is a new departure from Verdi's usual or chestral message. It is considered that the composer left the graceful lyrical beauty of the Italian, tx-hool and paid tribute to the more massive. Accuracy The Watchword of the Woodard-CIarke Prescription Service.
