SPEECHES AREJN DEMAND Members of Faculty Addressing High School Graduates. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, El'. GJsNE, May 26. (Special.) Members JUDGE FAVORS AMERICAN ' AUSTRIAN "KIJT - BY - SIGHT' PROPRIETOR LOSES CASE. Disorderly Con-duct Charge Made Against Highway Workman as Result of Fight Is Dropped. . When it is a question of judging between a hard-working American and an Austrian proprietor of a 'fly-by-night" soft drink stand and restaurant, Municipal Judge Ross man made it clear yesterday that he considered it the duty of an Amer ican official to favor the American citizen. 1 - The result was that the disorderly conduct case against Dan Kirgo, high way workman andi American citizen, who is said to have participated in a fight Saturday night which wrecked the establishment of Amet Beco at 65 Couch street, was continued for sentence by the judge. Beco declared that furniture and furnishings valued at ioou were destroyed. Jake Kopich, companion of Kirgo and former proprietor of a soft drink establishment, also was released. "I am not very strong for police protection for these foreigners who come to this country and fail to en gage in some useful enterprise." de clared Judge Koosman referring to Beco. "We have enough soft drink proprietors an jitney drivers and other fly-by-night individuals of our own without enlisting them from the ranks of the arrivals from foreign countries." The judge said that he had been in formed Beco was facing charges of liquor violation in the federal court and expressed the belief that he may have sold liq-uor to the two men which had resulted in the fight. "Beco started the trouble by trying to quiet the two men and was then too cowardly to stay and protect his own property," declared the judge. "Instead, he ran and called the police for protection." The two meji were arrested . by Police Sergeant Bunn and a detail of policemen. Leo Brutus, who happened to be in the establishment at the time, was hit on the head with a bottle. Beco said that the two men chased him out of the room when he told them to make less noise. Afterwards he said they smashed 15 chairs, the coffee urn, the gas plate and a lot of dishes. The police said that $1000 was a high val uation for the damage. Kopick offered Brutus a $20 bill in court to recompense him for the wound on his head. "" "I dont want the money," replied Brutus. "All I want is peace." BETTER SCHOOLS IS AIM Lewis County Directors and Prin cipals Convene' at Cliehalis. CH EH A LIS, Wash., May 26. (Spe cial.)

September, October. No vember and December. Hereafter the guardsmen will receive their pay semi-annually, probably on January 1 and July X. consideration to the future road programme will be given by the state highway commission when It meets in Portland next week. The approval by the voters of the road bill will en able the commission to map out a fairly definite policy. "We will now be able to complete the Pacific highway to the California line; the Coos bay-Roseburg highway and the Corvallis-Newport highway," states Chairman Benson. "We can finish the Columbia highway to the Idaho state line and The Dalles-California highway. We : can build the John Day and the Central. Oregon highway where these roads will give the most service locally. "I do not believe that the commis sion will let many contracts for new work this year because of tbe high costs, but if prices drop, particularly the labor market, then we m&v nla.ee a lot of work and take advantage of the conditions as we did last year. The principal contracts let this year will be the connecting links on pres ent important roads. There are many gaps which have to be built to con nect up with finished work so as to make a continuous improved road. "The commission will go over the Central Oregon and the John Day highways and pick out sections for improvement which will serve the needs of various communities. These will receive the first attention on these two roads. " There will be no rush about pushing these two high ways forward until the main-traffic roads such as the Columbia and Pa cific highways have been taken care of. However, owing to the character of the country, construction is com paratively light in central Oregon and a lot of mileage can be built for a great deal less than in some sections of the state."
