THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, APRIL, 20. 1920 13 TWO-YEAR SE IS GIVEN TO NTEKCE 111 1 Y Court Partly Considers Plea of Leniency by Jury. VIOLENCE IS CONDEMNED I. W. VY. Declared to Have Known of Doctrines of Organization lie "Voluntarily Joined. Joe Laundy, convicted I. "VV. W. or ganizer, was sentenced to two years In the state penitentiary by Circuit Judge Belt of McMinnville, sitting in Portland, yesterday. A stay of exe cution of eight days was permitted to allow his attorney, George F. Van derveer, to prepare an appeal, if such action was decided on. Laundy was one of the most active members of the I. W. W. in Portland and was arrested with numerous oth er Industrial Workers of the World at a meeting heldVbn the night of Kovember 11, 1920, for the supposed purpose of celebrating the armistice day slaying of ex-soldiers at Centra lia by I. W. W. His trial was the first of 26 scheduled and lasted two weeks. Violence In Condemned. "I am not unmindful of the fact that much of the agitation and unrest of the present time is due to the avarice and greed of the profiteers, nor of the fact that many men sit behind polished mahogany desks who rhould be behind bars, but that is no justification for the redress of griev ances, real or imaginary, by the ad vocacy of doctrines which would re sult eventually inthe destruction of organized society," said Judge Belt in passing sentence. "If you destroy man's right to have and hold property, you destroy the constitution itself. Under the guise of free speech no man is permitted to advocate those things which would result ifl crime or revolution and strike at the foundation of our gv ernment. "I do not believe that Joe Laundy could have had a more fair trial had he been a multimillionaire. . Every doubt as to admissibility of testimony resolved itself in his favor. Leniency Plea Connidered. , . "Were I to follow fully the recom mendation of the jury it would mean to tell Joe Laundy to go and sin no more. But this recommendation was Lot based on mitigating circum stances. The crime being an offense of the organization I feel that he must have known of its teachings and intent and is therefore respon sible. If he had been dragged into the organization, compelled to Join, It would have been a different thing. "'In piissing sentence 1 am taking into consideration the jury's recom mendation, though not permitting it to sway me off my feet. The sen tence will be two years in the peni tentiary." The maximum punishment was ten years and a fine of JluOO. "1 cannot see what Joe Laundy has done to bring aim here?" protested anderveer in arguing a motion for a new trial, "I don't feel he has don; anything 1 have not done and I don't feel like a criminal." To the allegation that the . state had not shown any specific act of Lautidy's which would constitute ia crime. District Attorney Evans re plied that the prosecution had teen refused permission by the court in upholding an objection by the de fense to bring In testimony of spe cific acts, and that all required was the proof of teachings of the I. W. W., of which organization Laundy was an active menioer. The motion for a Dew trial was denied. MANY FLOATS ASSURED CANADA AXD CALIFORNIA MAI" KXTICIt PAUADK.

HIGHER LIMIT IS FAVORED JACKSOX COO'TY PROPOSING TO ISSUE BONDS. Roads Said to Be in Need of Ira- ( sS provementa Impossible to Make jEEr Unless Amendment Carried. j Jackson county will cast a strong vote In favor of the proposed consti- , tutional amendment raising the bond- j lng limit from 2 to 4 oer cent, accord- j ing to George T. Collins of Medford, j manager of Mason. Fhrman & Co.'s branch houses at Medford and Klam ath Falls, who has been at the Mult nomah hotel. "Medford proposes -to issue (500,000 road bonds, which now is impossible unirer the 2 per cent limit," said Mr. Collins. "If the proposed amendment carries we intend to issue these bonds and demand state and federal aid, getting one dollar from the state for each one which Jackson county puts up and then matching this amount with federal aid, taking advantage of the unclaimed funds Bet aside for Ore gon by the government and thereby gaining .three dollars for each one which we subscribe for road Improve ments. "Medford Chamber of Commerce had a drive for members and funds and now 'has 400 members and has raised $18,000, to which will be added an additional $2000 in the near future.

"Just think of it, only a short time ago I was almost a nervous and phy sical wreck and today I am feeling just as fine as I ever did In my life," said Miss Estella Leonard of 2610 Manitou street, Los Angeles, In a statement to the Tanlac representa tive a few days ago, in which she also declared she had made a gain of 19 pounds. "Life has been miserable for me during the past three years, fori have been In such continual suffering I hardly knew what It was to enjoy a well day. My digestion was ex tremely poor and there was a con stant pain, in the pit of my stomach. I almost dreaded to eat. for every time I did I had spells with my heart eo bad I thought I had heart trouble. Every night about 12 or 1 o'clock I would wake up suffering intensely from the gas on my stomach and my nerves became so upset that it was hard for me to ever .get back to sleep from then on till morning. And when I got up I felt so weak I didn't know whether I could hold out through the day or not. I had fallen off until I weighed only 117 -pounds and was hardly able to get around at all. I spent lots of money and I tried one treatment ,for two years, but when I finished it I was worse off than ever. "Finally, a close friend of mine told me to try Tanlac, and I have just finished my fifth bottle and I now weigh 136 pounds, mai.lng an, actual gain of 19 pounds, and for the first time In three years I am able to eat anything I please, without suffering from indigestion. My heart action is normal and regular and I am' no longer troubled with gas or bloating. I- am not at all nervoua and my sleep Is restful and refreshing. My house work does not tire me one bit. I am deeply grateful to Tanlac and I feel that I am doing a good deed every time I tell anybody about it." Tanlac is sold In Portlaad by the Owl Drug company. Adv. HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN . BY HER HAIR There Is real common sense in just noticing whether the hair is well kept to judge of a woman's neatness, or good taste. If you are one of the few' who try to make the most of jour hair, remember that It is not advisable to wash the hair with any cleanser made for all purposes, but always use some good shampoo. Toil can enjoy the very best by getting some canthrox' from your druggist, dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. This rrtakes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so It is easy to apply It to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. Dan druff, excess oil, and dirt are dis solved and entirely disappear. Tour hair will be so fluffy that it will look much heavier than it is Its luster and softness will also delight you, while the stimulated scalp gains the health -which insures hair growth. Adv.
