Iolioo Believe Excessive Speed on Wet Pavement Is Responsible tor Accident Driver Gone. Six men were injured shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning when an outbound Hillsboro stage swerved from the Terwilliger boulevard near Blavin road and rolled down a 100 foot embankment. The injured were: R. C. O'Conner. 51 475 Tillamook street, back uronfhprt and lee fractured; H. M Kos. Bachelor's hotel, ruptured blood vessel and bruises; Lu A. Nelson of the Wfst roast Lumbermen s association lip:htly cut and bruised, and R. B. Hrnwn. also of the West Coast Lum bermen's association of Seattle, leg fractured and slight injuries to his Motorcycle officers and others who Investigated the accident were or me oninion that it was caused by skiq ding, due to excessive speed over the wet road. An investigation of the car snowed that the steering gear and oilier parts were in perfect condition. Otto Boettipher, -1, was said to have been driving, but he disappeared before the arrival of the ambulances nr nolice. All efforts to e him wore unsuccessful. The wrecked machine, a seven-pa icnecr. six-cylinder car, was bonded v the Auto Transit company, al though the title is still held by the father of the driver. After leaving the road the machine is said to have turned over three times before it came to rest at the foot of the em bankment. The driver told the members of the party, after telephoning for an am bulance. that he was going after an other machine, and that was the last seen of him. The Arrow ambulence removed the injured men to St. Vin cent's hospital. Other members of the party were severely shaken up and escaped with a- few bruises and scratches. REVENUE ACT IS INVALID J LOCK BE AX HOLDS "DRV LAW REPEAL'S OID STATUTE. Ruling Results In Dismissal of In dictments Against Two Clacka mas County Men. ASYLUM INMATE ESCAPES YTTENDAXTS SCOUR WOODS FOR JOHX LEOXARDI. An order handed down yesterday by Federal Judge Bean quashing an indictment brought under the old fed eral revenue act brought out that the revenue act is virtually repealed so far as penalties are concerned by the new prohibition act, although no di rect appeal is provided. The case in which the ruling was handed down was that against Boze Boze Yuginivic and his cousin of the same name, alleged bootleggers from Clackamas county, who were indicted a weeic ago under tour counts, an coming within the old federal revenue act. The men were arrested in April by county officers, twin whisky stills capable of manufacturing 75 gallons of liquor per day and 1700 gallons of mash having been found at their place near Boring. The men were convicted and fined $200 each in the Clackamas county court, and were rearrested by federal agents and indicted under four counts, all based upon the rev enue act. The indictments charged operating a distillery without tax, op erating a distillery without being reg istered or hanging out a sign, operat ing without giving bond and making mash fit for distilling. In presenting the case. Barnett Ooldstein, former deputy United States district attorney, who was attorney for the defendants, contended that the revenue act had been superseded by the prohibition act, and also en tered the plea of former jeopardy. Judge Bean upheld the former con tention by quashing the indictment and did not pass upon the latter argu ment. The penalties provided under the prohibition act are considerably light- fi- than under the revenue act. Under the former na penalties of more than 11000 fine or one year in prison are possible for first offenses, while un der the latter as high as three years may be given. The ruling makes necessary a dif ferent programme by the federal offi cers in prosecuting liquor law offend ers. Several cases similar to the Yuginivic case are affected and the United States district attorney's office is taking steps to dismiss actions brought under the revenue act and to file actions under the prohibition law instead. Oregon is the second state in which the matter of automatic repeal of the revenue act by the prohibition act lias been brought up. so far as can be learned, a similar case having been handled recently in North Carolina, with a similar decision. Insane Man Fights Off Pursuers With Pitchfork and Help Is Sent From Salem. SALKM. Or., July 12. (Special.) Attendants from the state hospital to night were combing the timbered dis tricts east of Salem in search of John Leonardl, Italian, who, after making his escape from the barracks at the asylum late yesterday, is believed to have set fire to one of the hospital barns. Leonardi was missed from his sleep ing quarters shortly after midnight and half an hour later the barn was discovered on fire. In the absence of effective fire protection the flames spread rapidly- and within less than 30 minutes the entire structure was destroyed. The barn was built by the state several years ago at a cost of approximately $20,000 and was used for storing feed. In the barn were approximately 600 tons of hay, some other feed and farming implements. The hay was recently harvested and was valued by the hospital officials at $12,000. Soon after daylight this morning attendants were placed on Leanardi's trail and he was followed to a point near Jlacicay. When approached by his pursuers he was found to be armed with a pitchfork and offered resist ance. Word was then sent to the hos pital for reinforcements, but before these men arrived Leonardi disap peared. The country where the insane man was last seen is dotted with timber and is sparsely settled. Information received at the hos pital early tonight from the posse in dicates that Leonardi was making his way toward Silverton, and the offi cers there have been asked to assist in effecting his capture. Leonardi was committed to the hos pital from Multnomah county in January, 1918, and later was trans ferred to the asylum farm. He has been employed there regularly for more than a year and recently had shown no signs of violence. Dr. R. K. Lee Steiner, superintend ent of the state hospital, said tonight that the loss of the barn was a seri ous blow to the institution at this time, as much hay is yet to be cut and stored for the coming winter. In the absence of any insurance on the struc ture it had not been determined to day whether the structure would be rebuilt out of funds included in the hospital appropriation. If these funds are not sufficient it will be necessary to call a special session of the state emergency board or wait until the legislature makes an appropriation at its session next January. ALIEN SCH00LIS MISSED Instruction on Government Needed, Says Naturalization Officer. The discontinuing of the American ization school for aliens is being felt daily at the offices of the naturali zation bureau, according to- V. M. Tomlinson, head of the naturalization service, who says that he has had to turn away many aliens who are beg ging for a chance to learn about the government of the United States. 'We want to teach, these people enough to pass the citizenship ex aminations," said Mr. Tomlinson. 'What we have endeavored to do is to get free schools for them. At the school maintained before, which was stopped by the action of the school board last month, one teacher was employed to give instruction to those who wished it in civil government. Now we have no place to send these people. We need the co-operation of the city. The government furnishes a book on citizenship, but the prob lem of the alien is also partly municipal problem.'
