Writs, Attachments, Hcplevln
Action and Knltl Features.
KLAMATH FALLS. Dr., Dec. 28.
Special.) In the circuit court here
today O'Neill & Irwin, representing
the Herald Publishing company
made application to quash a return
on a writ of attachment against
property claimed by the Record Pub
lishing- company, and in the losses
ion of the Herald, the latter assert
ins that the return made by the
sheriff on this writ was false. Judge
Kuykendahl took the application un
der advisement, saying there was i
Question as to whether the circuit
court had Jurisdiction In the matter.
These proceedings are the outcome
of a newspaper war which threatens
to eclipse in interest and bitterness
the famous courthouse fight that has
been waged since 1912 and which has
resulted in the county having three
courthouses on its hands.
The fight between the newspapers,
which has been carried on for nearly
a year, seemingly was ended nine
weeks ago, when the publishers of the
rival newspapers came to an agree
ment whereby the Dally Record was
suspended and a considerable quan
tity of the material of the record was
moved to the office of the Herald.
The agreement gave the owners of
the Ilecord a SA-day option for pur
chase of the Herald for $40,000, the
eption expiring December 10.
Property Move Attempted.
In the event of the owners of the
Record falling to exercise their
option the property on that date was
to pass into possession of the Herald
on payment of $3000 for the common
stock of the Record company, held by
Don Belding, president, and W. A.
Wiest, secretary. In the meantime the
Sunday Ilecord was to be continued
nd published from the'offlce of the
Herald.
The owners of the common stock
of the Record decided to abrogate the
agreement and on Tuesday, December
6, at midnight, an attempt was made
to remove the Record property from
the Herald building. This attempt
was frustrated by E. J. Murray
owner of the Herald, who had been
warned that the attempt would be
made, and when the raiding force,
headed by Don Belding, president of
the Record company, entered the of
fices of the building, Murray put in
n appearance and Belding left with
four others who accompanied him.
The day following Murray placed
an attachment on the entire plant of
the Record Publishing company. This
Included the material in his own of
fice and the material Jn the old office
of the Record. It is around the serv
ice of this writ and the return there
on that the legal battle is now
waging.
Writs and Orders Follow.
The sheriff served the writ on the
Herald and on the Record, but made
no attempt to take possession of the
property. Then the Record sued out
a writ of replevin under which It
was sought to regain possession of
the Record property that had been
taken over by the Herald, under the
original agreement. While this writ
was in process of execution by the
sheriff Editor Murray filed a re-delivery
bond with the coroner. The
Record thereupon secured from the
circuit court a writ of mandamus to
compel the sheriff to execute the
original attachment and forcibly take
possession of the material in the
Herald office.
Armed with this writ and the origi
nal attachment on which he had al
ready made return, and which it is
claimed was rendered void by the re
plevin proceedings, which In turn had
been rendered void by the action of
the coroner, the sheriff again visited
the offices of the Herald, accompanied
by a carpenter and several deputies,
who were instructed to break down
the door to the composing room,
which had been barricaded by Editor
Murray.
The latter drew a gun and threat
ened to shoot if any attempt was made
to force the door.
He was placed under arrest and
taken before the circuit court, charged
with contempt of court. The court
ruled that no contempt proceedings
could be entertained, as the writ of
mandamus was against the sheriff
and not against Editor Murray. The
latter was then brought before Jus
tice Gaghagen and bound over for
the grand Jury on a charge of resist
ing an officer and assault with a
deadly weapon.
Herald' Doom Rollrd.
And there the matter rests tonight.
The Herald has been publishing the
Sunday Record since the option was
entered Into and has been recognized
by the postoffice authorities as the
legal publication. The holders of the
common stock of the Record Publish
ing company also are publishing an
abbreviated form of the Sunday Rec
ord and have revived the Daily Rec
ord, which is being published in
miniature every afternoon, although
the old Daily Record was a morning
paper.
Meanwhile the Herald continues its
daily publication behind boed doors,

BY LEONE CASS BAER.
A SPLENDID performance of an
operatic masterpiece was that
given "Pique Dame" Wednesday
night at the Hcilig by the Russian
Grand Opera company, the first of a
scries to be given here this -week.
Principals and choruses and or
chestra comDined their wonderful ar
tistry in a presentation of the tragic
and somber opera that richly merited
the many Interruptions of applause
throughout the action. The audience
was a critically musical one and
enthusiastically appreciative.
As a performance "Pique Dame"
was remarkable for Its balance and
nerfect unitv. and Its merging of
dramatic and musical values was ideal.
The development of the opera did i
not reveal any especial voice of stel
lar magnitude more than another,
but every voice was a good voice,
finely trained and used with mu-
slcianly skill and intelligence and re
markable interpretative insight. It
Is a well-known fact that in their
drama and music and painting and
literature the Slavs are thorough and
fundamentally artistic, and seldom
can be accused of striving to attain
a mere surface value. In their operas
they do not feature personalities, and
are never guilty of displaying the
vocal virtuosity of some especial in
dividual in an interpreting cast. On
the contrary they endeavor to perfect
a unity of Impression, to weld to
gether the varied beauties o the
music drama as its composer
dreamed it.
The onera. "Pique Dame." Is one ol
deep and abiding musical significance.
It has the qualities of Slavonic fire
and profundity and intensencss. and
Is suffused with that same melan
cholia and spirit of fatalism which
emanates from the two greatest of
Tschaikowsky's symphonies, his fifth
and his sixth.
"Pique Dame" was produced origi
nally in Petrograd in December, 1890.
but was not sung in America until on
March 5, 1910. when it was given a
performance In German at the Metro
politan opera-house with Destlnn, ble-
zak and Gluck in the cast.
The plot is highly melo-dramatic,
with a tinge of the supernatural, and
has a theatric appeal.
The libretto was written by Modeste
Tschaikowsky, a brother of the world-
famous Plotr llytisch Tschaikowsky,
who composed the music, and is based
upon I'ushkin's story, "The Queen of
Spades."
The opera gives the same Import
ance to the orchestra that Is char-
cteristic of the music dramas of
Richard Wagner. By virtue of its
music it is a master piece. The mu
sic surges and flows with passionate
eloquence, or is softly exquisite, del
icately romantic and pastel-colored
as the development of the story de
mands. For the most part, however.
it is rugged, vital, even wild and bar
baric music, an expression in bold,
brilliant coloring of the temperament
of the Slav, tempered and clarified
by the splendid art of Russia's great
composer and one of the world hon
ored masters of orchestration.
Rending la Inspirational.
With his orchestra of 20 or more
Russian musicians. Conductor Kugen
Feurst gave a reading of the difficult
score that was Inspirational. His
artistry was faithfully denoted in the
work of every member In the cast,
revealing them not only as singers
but as musicians.
The character from whose sobri
quet the opera takes Its title is an
elderly and sinister figure, a countess
who possesses the secret of three
fateful cards which will bring un
varying good luck at the gaming
table. Her granddaughter Lisa is
deeply in love with Hermann, a young
officer in quest of a fortune that
will enable him to marry the girl,
who, against her will, has been
betrothed to Prince Jeletskl.
Keys Given Sweetheart.
Lisa gives Hermann the keys to
her grandmother's rooms, that he
may go to the old woman and extract
from her the secret of the three lucky
cards. The old countess turns a deaf
ear to his pleadings. He flourishes a
pistol to frighten her Into revealing
her secret and the old woman fails
dead from terror. When the old
woman's funeral procession passes

a gust of wind blows open the win

who warns him In menacing tones,
"Your fate Is sealed! These are the
cards the ace, seven and three." '
The apparition vanishes and Her
mann goes to meet Lisa. When her
suitor Insists UDon visiting the
gambling house the girl throws her
self into the river Neva. In the last
act Hermann is seen at the gaming
table. On the first two cards he
wins, but then the fatal queen of
spades turns up and he loses all. The
specter of the old countess reappears
and Hermann, believing that she has
come to claim his soul, stabs him
self. Singer's Technique Good.
Mile. Mashir sang the leading so
prano role as Lisa. . She combines a
faultless technique with admirable
acting and sings with ease and buoy
ancy. Her hearers were moved to
great enthusiasm by her solo in act
III, when she waits by the banks of
the Neva for Hermann.
Mile. Ina Burskaya revealed a mezzo-soprano
of opulent beauty In her
delineation of the old countess. M.
Danlloff. an excellent tenor, sang the
role of Hermann with vocal warmth
and dramatic finesse.
Duet Is Exquisite.
An exquisite duet was beautifully
sung by Mile. Mashir and Mile. Val
cntinova in the first act and Mile.
Valentinova's contralto was again
heard to advantage in a melancholy
solo aria. Vladimir Radeef in the role
of Prince Jeletskl revealed a sonor
ous light baritone of good quality
A colorful banet and gorgeous cos
tumes heightened the opera's visual
appeal. Last night the opera was

It Is Deplorable," Says Spokes
men, "That Any nation biiouiu
Take Such Position."
WASHINGTON. D. C, Dec. 28. (By
the Associated Press.) Surprise was
expressed by British delegates to
night over deveopments in today's
meetings of the conference naval
committee, and it was said time
would be required to study the prop
osition to limit activities of sub
marines, as well as to analyze pos
sible results of the French refusal to
limit tonnage of submarines.
"It Is sad," a British spokesman
said, "it is deplorable that any nation
should have taken such a position as
wo have seen taken. There can be no
limitation now in the number of craft
that we must build for anti-submarine
pursuit."
It was fortunate for Great Britain,
he contended, "if there was to be un
limited submarine construction, that
she possessed a great fleet of trawlers
and other steel fishing craft which
could be used for anti-submarine
purposes, so that she would not have
to build to the same extent as other
nations."
He declared that the British were
In hearty sympathy with the resolu
tion proposed by Mr. Root regarding
use of submarines, but he said a plan
to restrict submarine attacks to naval
vessels would have no effect on Great
Britain. She would build anti-submarine
craft, he said, as no nation
could be trusted to abide by such
rules when its back was against the
wall. The British case would be fully
set forth at the next plenary session,

BIOLOGIST.
BY
Scientists Declared Unable to Offer
Any Explanation for the Be
ginning of Species.
TORONTO. Dec 28. Professor
William Bateson, world famous
English biologist, tonight threw a
bombshell into the cohvention of the
American Association for the Ad
vancement of Science by declaring
that It was impossible for scientists
any longer to agree with Charles
Darwin's theory of the origin of
species.
He declared that, while 40 years
ago the Darwin theory was accepted
without question, today scientists had
come to a point where they were
unable to offer any explanation of
the genesis of species.
Professor Bateson admitted that his
words marked him down as an agnos
tic, but maintained there was nothing
left for the scientist of today but
agnosticism, or, as he called it,
"obscurantism."
He said, however, that the doubt of
Darwin's correctness extended only
to the great scientist's theory of
genesis, and by no means included
that concerning the general truth of
the principle of evolution.
He declared that obscurantism a
plain confession of ignorance of the
manner of the beginnings of species
would come to the scientists' res
cue, filling in the breach opened to
the "enemies of science" through
tearing down the Darwinian theory.
SCHOONER OLGA ASHORE

SAN DIEGO, Cal.. Dec 28. The

following the seizure of the American
trawler Mabel by the, Olga off the
Lower California coast, is ashore near
Sussun point, seven miles northeast
of Ensenada, according to' word
brought here today by Captain
Charles Martinson - of the United
States coast guard cutter Tingard.
The Olga was torn adrift in' Sunday's
storm. She is said not to bs In a
dangerous position, and salvage may
be attempted.
Ensenada was hard hit by tho
storm. Captain Martinson said.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 28.
After declaring that "the time has
come when patriotic citizens and
democrats should indulge in plain
talking," Judge Cordell Hull, chair
man of the aemcoratic national com
mittee tonight reviewed the republi
can administration since March and
contrasted this with the "unparalleled
achievement" of the democrats in the
previous eight years.
The address was delivered at a
dinner given by the state democratic
executive committee in honor of
Chairman Hull. It was accepted gen
erally as the opening of the congres
sional pre-election campaign by the
new chairman, who went into the
public questions which he said faced
the government and explained the
attitude his party would take.
Further relief for farmers, adequate
aid for veterans, reduction of taxes
and a remedy for the situation re
sulting from the flood of tax exempt
securities were among Issues he out
lined. Love for Veterans Avowed.
"Democrats are the loyal and con
sistent friends of the ex-service men,"
he declared.
"Ever sollcitious of his welfare, the
democratic party, when in power, did
more to advance the interests of the
farmer than had been done in all the
previous history of the nation and
had planned to do much more, if it
had remained in power," he said.
"Urgent and deserved relief as to
farm credits, better and cheaper i
warehousing and marketing facili
ties these and like measures of aid
should have been given him to avoid
and relieve his present unparalleled
distress.
"The burden of our public debt
should be adjusted so as not to be
oppressive to the American taxpayer
laboring under panic conditions. The
states, rather than the federal govern
ment, should be urged to deal by a
uniform policy with the growing evil
of local tax exempt securities."
Defeat la Mourned.
Results of the last national election,
he asserted, were obtained by "crim
inal malignity and reckless falsehood"
by the republican leaders.
'It was not so much the democratic
party; it was the American people
who have suffered the colossal and in
calculable losses that resulted from
democratic defeat," he declared.
"It is beyond the power of whole-
Bale abuse, falsehood and detraction
long to dim the glory of the eight
years' unparalleled achievement of the
national democracy. The work of con
structive, patriotic statesmanship ac
complished by that party will stand
out in clearer perspective during the
coining years.
"If wholesale breach of solemn and
unqualified promises to the people
constituted a statutory crime," he
said, "every reactionary republican
leader, state and national, would, un
der a plea of guilty, be in the cus
tody of the law tonight.
Commerce Takes Slump.
"The disappointed farmer now reads
the accounts of his industrial ruin by
the light of his burning corn. Millions
of laborers are frequenting the soup
houses, bread lines and the auction
block. Business has discovered that
It was crucified on the cross of poli
tics." Under republican leadership, he
said, American foreign commerce
"has slumped $6,000,000,00 in the last
12 months," and an "almost vertical
slump in prices in America of from
30 to SO per cent, and in purchasing
power of farm products of 66 per
cent, quickly followed." For two
years prior to March, 1921, he said,
the only remedy offered by repub
lican leaders for poet-war ctnditions
was "an antiquated high tariff and
the archaic doctrine of commercial
Isolation."
"The country is in sad and urgent
need," he said, "of more education
and more co-operation on the part
of individuals and business with re
spect to our public affairs. An intel
ligent understanding and whole
hearted co-operation on their part
would soon improve government 100
per cent."
Tariff Still Issue.
The democratic party, he said, still
holds to Its belief in a tariff for
revenue only, for economy in gov
ernmental expenditures, for "equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none." I
"The recent democratic admin!-
tratlon has not yet received credit I
for its many great accomplishments," '
he said. "But whatever its defamers
may say, even the school children
will soon learn that in 1912 our na
tional wealth was 187.000,000,000 and
in 1920. when tha republican admin
istration was chosen, it was $330,
000,000,000; in 1912 our toreign trade
was 13.850.000,000 and in mo it was
$13,500,000,000."
