VISTA HOUSE CASE ENDS TEX DAYS GIVEX COUXSEL TO FILE BRIEFS. Dispute Involves Right of County to Erect Structure With ' Public Money. With closing arguments by eight attorneys representing various indi viduals Involved in the suit of Nora Withrow and others against those of ficials and contractos connected with the erection of the Vista house on the Columbia hignway, the two days" hearing of the case ended yesterday and was taken under advisement vby Judge Tucker. Ten days were al lowed for filing briefs. The right of the county commissioners to erect such a structure with the people's money is being questioned. Attorneys for the defendants point ed out that the county commissioners have the right to erect such public buildings as may be for the official use of the county and they contended thaw the Vista house comes within this definition. "Admitting, for the sale of argu ment, that the building is for the purpose set forth by the plaintiffs, a memorial and an observatory," said Judge M. L. Pipes, appearing for the architect, "Nora Withrow is actually appearing against the people of the county and should be entitled to the return of only her share of the money expended, which would be extremely small. She cannot appear in behalf of the taxpayers as the case stands now, but must show, by fact and not fiction that she represents them." Other counsel for the defense also attempted to show that the suit was not brought, in good faith. S. L. Bischoff early in the day introduced motion that the case be dismissed on the ground that Mrs. Withrow had signed the complaint at the instiga tion of one of her attorneys. James E. Fenton and Walter T. McQuirk, who appeared for the plain tiff, declared that the very name of the building proved that its prime purpose was not as a comfort station. Attention was called to the panels dedicated to Oregon pioneers. They said that no excuse could be offered for the erection of the upper part ot the building and that the structure as a whole cannot be considered part of the highway. 1 CHIEFS LAUD OREGON PROMOTIOX OF FIRE PATROL LIKED, SAYS GOVERNOR.

Judge Orders Release on Hearing. Xo Actual Resistance Made by Young Woman. A lurid police drama involving 98-pound girl charged with resisting two 200-pDund policemen, and a young man with a revolver intent upon de fending his lady love, was brought to light yesterday when Lorenzo B. Pearson and Miss Iva Diemer, who lives at Ryan place, appeared in mu nlcipal court. Patrolmen Gladwyn and Pierce were the two stalwart bluecoats who made the charge against the girl. The excitement is said to have started when a group of girls made Miss Diemer get off the sidewalk in passing them. This aroused the chiv airy of her fiance. Pearson, who is said to have then jostled one of the aforementioned girls off the sidewalk. The result was that Miss Madge White, of the Roselyn apartments, swore to a warrant charging Pearson with disorderly conduct. Armed with this instrument Patrolmen Gladwyn and Pierce went on a hunt for Pear son yesterday morning. A man friend of the girl who was shoved off the sidewalk, is said to have made threats, with the result that Pearson had put a revolver in his pocket to defend himself with. He had the weapon when he was arrested on the other charge. Miss Diemer was with Pearson at the time of the arrest. He banded her the weapon and she started down the street with it. The polloe Immediately called her back and arrested her for Inquiry. The charge was later changed to resisting an officer. Brother police officers secured the services of Thorn as Ryan, attorney, to defend her. "In the good old days," declared one old-timer, who regretted the deca dence of the force, "it was considered a disgrace for a policeman to place a charge of resisting an officer against a prisoner, no matter how badly the policeman miirht be beaten up in ef fecting the arrest." Municipal Judge Rossman released Miss Diemer wnen the arresting of ficers admitted that she hadn't actu ally resisted them. They said she started to walk off with the revolver and ' that w-as the basis of theii charge. Judge Rossman expressed the belief that Pearson was a little bit inclined to be a roughneck and told him to think the matter over for one night in jail. Pearson was later permitted to go free on the payment of a $25 fine, when his brother told the judge the man might lote his job if he was compelled to remain in jail.

Ashton. pres ident of the railway executives' asso ciation, urging that the highway work be permitted to continue un hampered by any drastic interfer ence.
