Sixteen proposed changes in state laws and three measures now pending before congress were indorsed by the fifth annual assembly of the Women's Leg islative Council of Washington, in session here today.

Hays, motion pic ture dictator, and that "we feel con fident that he will bring about many reforms and that censorship will not be necessary."

Great Question Are Settled Knights of ltoad. by BY ADDISON BENNETT. THE large room in the resthouse at the municipal auto camp grounds is the general meeting place for the campers, and particularly when the weather is a little cool and a roaring fire is cracking in the fireplace. Then the knights of the road get together and settle great questions. For in stance, only a day or two ago the initiative and referendum was finally disposed of to the satisfaction of all, or nearly all, of the campers pres- ent. And then the primary election, which was held in this state yester day, came in for a lot of eloquence. ' With the lights at the hands of the campers there was given out much food for thought, more than one might have expected from strangers. Superintendent Keaney was busy yesterday in getting in a dozen or more cords of wood for the use of the campers. A good many come with email sheet-iron stoves and others use the old-fashioned camp fire. Oc casionally one sees an electric torch on the grounds, but not often. For water heating gas is used and the grounds are lighted by electricity and some of the cooking is done on gas plates. Yesterday morning there were 43 cars on the grounds, which made a total of arrivals since the opening day, May 2, of 192 cars. These cars are mostly from Washington, Cali fornia, Oregon and Nevada. So to speak, but very few of the real trav eling campers are on the road at this date. " The price of 50 cents a day still prevails. It caused a little friction for a few days at first, but it is gen erally conceded that the price is rea sonable, considering the conveniences the campers enjoy. Mr. anfi Mrs. William Staples of Canyon City, Colo., arrived yesterday from Phoenix, Ariz., and later from Eugene. The Staples owned a fine fruit ranch in Canyon City, which they sold last summer, and started out on a sight-seeing trip. They spent the winter at Phoenix and Glendale, which is a town near Phoe nix. Then they came up to Eugene and spent a few weeks visiting old Canyon City neighbors. But now they are pining for Canyon City again and may purchase another fruit tract. Officers Search for Man Who Found Victim Lying Unconscious. Assault Thought Mistake. ASTORIA, Or.. May 19. (Special.) Charged with attacking Clarence Roberts, night engineer, Wednesday night at the Westport Lumber com pany's plant, Oscar Kelly has been arrested at his home in Kerry. Of ficers are now searching for Arthur Warranka, the man who reported he found Roberts lying unconscious in the road. Warranka disappeared yes terday, but the officers believe they know where he is hiding. J-ust how the officers connect Kel leyjwith the attack on Roberts has hot) been made public. Warranka is our on bail in connection with a shooting affray following a raid by deputies on a bootlegger's rendez vous several months ago. Kelley was also arrested at this time, but was re leased when the officers could not marshall sufficient evidence to hold him. The trial of Warranka was to be held May 22 in St. Helens. ' Those acquainted with the facta be lieve the men who beat Roberts, ap parently with a heavy bottle, mistook him for someone else, as he nas worked in Westport but a short time and is not known to have any ene mies. He was not in this district at the time of the raid on the bootleggers. WATER RIGHT IS GRANTED Tumalo Project Allowed Crescent Lake Privilege. REDMOND, Or., May 19.

EUGENE, Or., May 19. (Special.) A tentative agreement between the Lane county court and state highway commission regarding the payment of the -much mooted $60,000 bill which the commission has against the county for grading certa'n portions of the Pacific highway has been reached, ac cording to announcement yesterday by County Judge C. P. Barnard. All road contracts and a bridge contract in which ' the- state and county are to co-operate have been held up pend ing a settlement- NEW YORK, May 14. (Special.) One of the richest fields to be inva'ded by quacks, blackmailers and laymen without medical knowledge is psycho analysis, according to George W. Whiteside, counsel for the New York Society of Psychoanalysts and "the New York Medical society, which have been carrying on an investigation of charlatans of this type. . The investigation showed that many men with checkered careers and with out the slightest tincture of medical knowledge have been posing as ex perts, writing books, setting up of perts, writing books, setting up offices and taking fees for psycho analytic treatments. Among them are men who have been, living by their wits for years, who are alleged to be attracted to psychoanalysis because it opens up interesting avenues for blackmail. "There have been many cases of this kind which would be sensa tional," said Dr. A. A. Brill, a member of the New York Society of Psycho analysts, "except for the fact that victims of blackjnai! cannot make charges without revealing the secret which subjects them to blackmail. - Fakers on Increase. , "The fakers of this type who are preying on the public are increasing because the subject has been such a popular fad. Unfortunately, while the attempt of an unauthorized person to treat disease by this method, is a crime, the quacks among the laymen have cleverly formed alliances with a few renegade members of the medical profession. .... In such cases, the med ical man is usually about as ignorant as the layman of the subject by which they are earning a living." The investigation has shown, ac cording to Mr. Whiteside, that many of the psychoanalysts of this type are advocates of immorality and have developed sex appeal as a regular advertising method. "Aside from the blackmail and the vicious side of this abuse of psycho analysis, there is a great deal -of danger to the patient," said Mr. Whiteside,' "In the first instance, even as prac ticed by eminent medical men, psy choanalysis has its limitations. It has absolutely no application- to a sickness caused by an organic dis turbance. Such cases 'have to be ruled out at once. This- requires a careful examination and diagnosis Only a skilled physician is able to give such an examination and diag nosis. Confidence Is Required. "In the second place, the theory of psychoanalysis requires of a patient the disclosure of the most confiden tial information concerning himself. and he must repose absolute confi dence in the man to whom 'he makes his confession or statement. When that is done to a physician, the law protects the patient, because we have a definite statute which makes it a privileged communication which the physician is not permitted to discuss. nor may he be compelled to disclose it. "Most of the psychoanalysts em phasize question of sex to which may be traced mental disturbances and go into great detail. Some of them preach, or rather encourage, promis cuity." Detectives employed in the investi gation have obtained evidence against several lay practitioners, but prosecu tion has been withheld so far, be cause of the question of policy in- volved. The County Medical society decided recently to initiate no more prosecutions for violations of the medical practice act, because it was unfair and injurious to the medical profession to put it in the position of a prosecutor, thus givinf a certain plausibility with the court or jury to the charge that the profession was acting, not for the good of the public, but because medical men were being deprived of fees. Conferences are to be held with District Attorney Ban ton to provide for a method of prose cuting quacks of all kinds who practice in violation of law. Andre Triden, a layman and pub lisher of two books setting forth the theories of Freud and Jung, denied that it was a crime for a layman to practice psychoanalysis. The layman should always turn over cases of physical trouble to the physicians," said Tridon, "and if (he does that there is nothing wrong in his treating other cases. There is no conflict at all between the medical man and the layman in this science. It is a form of medicine, but a, lay man who understands it can practice it successfully."
