.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. The supreme court of the

"The demurrer will be overruled."
Similar demurrers to indictments of
men accused of membership in the
communist labor party are based on
dentical grounds and will be dis
posed of similarly by Judge Mc
Court. Attorney B. F. Mulkey. rep
resenting Mitchell Stojwa and Joseph
Orman, two alleged labor commu

that he desired to permit Judge Mc

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

the city should not receive something

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-. .

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.
