THE MORNIXG OREGOXIAX FRID AT, JULY 08, 1923 TRIAL BP CONTEST WILL OPEN MONDAY JF YOUR HAIR IS BOBBED THIS WON'T INTEREST YOU. Two Months to Be Required to Take Testimony. POINT WON BY OLCOTT Judges, Ovverule Motion of Con iestant Demanding Governor Post $20,000 Bond. SALEM, Or., July 27.r-(Spectal.) Trial of the election contest pro ceedings Tiled recently on behalf of Charles Hall, defeated candidate for the republican domination for gov ernor at the primary contests last May, will start in the Marion county circuit court here next Monday, ac cording to a tentative' agreement reached tonight- Attorneys intimat ed that not less than two months will be required to take the testi mony based on the issues now be fore the court. Governor Olcott, named as con testee in the suit, won the second round in the legal battle today, when Judges Bing-ham and Kelly, sitting en banc, overruled a motion submitted by the contestant's at torneys in which they asked that the contestee's answer to Mr. Hall's original complaint be eliminated from the records unless he posted a bond in the amount of J20.000. Bond Argument Made. W. S. TJ'Ren of counsel for the contestant, argued that his client was required to post such a bond at the time the original proceedings were filed, and that there was no good reason why the contestee should not be compelled to file a similar bond. It was the contention of Mr. U'Ren that Governor Oleott's answer to the complaint in reality was a counter-action, in that it brought to light new issues and its language was not confined to a denial or explanation of the charges. As a result of raising new issues, Attorney U'Pen declared that the governor's answer should be con sidered a counter-action and that he should' be made to comply with the statutes with relation to post ing a bond. Judge Bingham said that it was his opinion that Governor Olcott simply ,was attempting to meet the issues, in that he was the person attacked. It was Judge Bingham's contention- that the governor's an swer was legitimate and that he could not be required under the statute to post a bond. Judge Kelly declared that the law provides that the contestant shall file a bond, but that the statute is silent with relation to the contestee. Klttht Denied Governor. "In this case," said Judsre Kellv. "Governor Olcott is the only person in Oregon having the qualifications of a voter who is denied by law the right to contest this election. He is not contesting the rights of the contestant, but appears in the role of a defendant..His answer Is purely defensive and in my opinion is not a counter action. The court took under advisement until Monday mprnlng the request of the contestant's attorneys that they be allowed to amend their original complaint. In this motion the con. testant set out that recent Invent! gations had indicated Irregularities in counting the votes for governor at the primary election in mor than 800 preoincta in the state In addition to those specified in the orliHnnl complaint. These precincts, attorneys r ine contestant said, are located In Baker, Klamath. Sherman, Waseo and Deschutes coun ties. Additional precincts in Multno mah and Clatsop counties also were Included in the contestant's motion to amend the complaint. HALTj alleges more frauds Amendment to Contest Petition Charges Irregularities. Alleged irregularities in four more counties, in the primary election, are charged by attorneys fr Charles Hall and tfhey seek to extend the contest into Baker, Klamath Sher man and Wasco counties. An amend ment to the original petition for a contest, making these allegations, was filed at Salem yesterday after noon. Certain irregularities as alleged In the original petition also are , claimed in severaifadditional pre cincts in counties named in the orle- 7 J 11 'Vhe "nenaea petition ..; ;W7Lioh i?, in a,Jditln to those listed in the original petition. Six checkers were placed at work in the registration office at the Multnomah courthouse yesterday by attorneys for Governor Olcott. cfom paring the pollbooks with the regis tration cards to determine if any changes were made at the last min ute. This checking was performed several weeks ago by the Hall in terests. A new- charge by the Hall law yers, which they wish added to their of the Catholic church, in Marion county, urged and persuaded a large number of the legal voters in cer tain precincts to refrain from vot ing for Hall and tn vnt. m... The amendment to the petition de clares that the precincts so in fluenced were East Mount Anrel West Mount Angel, St. Pau" Sublfm Ity, West Gervals. McKee and Scol- . e Precinets gave Olcott 843 votes and Hall 23. The lawyers for Hall want all these precincts thrown out and declared wholly void. According to the attorneys rep're senting Hall, "certain priests and other officers of the Roman Catholic church, and of the parishes of said church, which included said pre etfncts, did privately, secretly and otherwise than by public speech and public print, by undue influence and corrupt practices," urge voters to support Olcott and not Hall. This campaigning was of such wide scope "and so permeated the entire vote cast in each of said precincts, that they vitiated and invalidated the entire nominating election in said precincts for the republican nomina tion for governor." Complaint likewise is made by the Hall interests that election boards in many counties "erroneously wrongfully and unlawfully" per mitted many persons to vote the re publican ballot on blank "A" free holder affidavits, andv upon blank "B" affidavits, who were not mem bers, in good faith, of the republican party.

I smEW ' DdTgdUlS 111 CVCry UCpdl UUCUU Sheriff C. E. TerriU of Jackson county will be held on Saturday as contemplated, Circuit Judge Calkins today having refused to issue . an injunction to stay the election as sought by friends of the sheriff. D. M. Lowe of Medford is the recall candidate. - While the recall committee stout ly maintain that they are seeking to oust Sheriff Terrill because he has failed to enforce the laws, particu larly the prohibition laws, friends of the sheriff told that the recall is simply an attempt on the part of the Ku Klux Klan to obtain con trol of the law enforcement bodies of Jackson county. Refusal of Judge Calkins to stay the election has resulted in the citizens' com mittee formed to combat the Klan inaugurating a whirlwind campaign in an effort to retain Sheriff Terrill in office. T At the same time the recall com mittee is not asleep and as a re sult it is expected that an ex ceptionally heavy vote will be cast in the election. In ruling against granting: of the injunction Judge Calkins held that the remedy sought by the pe titioners could be obtained after election. If the county clerk had refused to strike names from the recall petition after being asked to so qu, iub juuge ruiea, me elec tion would be invalid. Judge Calkins ruled that the re call, , if permitted to proceed, would not injure Sheriff Terrill, except perhaps in the way of humiliation, but on the other hand, refusing to permit the election would be re fusing the electorate its most sacred right, that of expressing itself at the polls. Judge Calkins in his decision called attention to the fact that Judge Hamilton of Douglas county, who was refused the right to sit on the case, because of the filing of a petition charging prejudice by the recall committee's attorney, concurred in every particular in the decision as handed down.

Hiiaabeai MURDER CLEW IS FOUND j ' JP1 - - , . ; - COLTOIBIA RIVER MYSTERY AGAIN UNDER INQUIRY. Fugitive Held for Recent Wilbur Station Robbery Is Linked With Highway Crime. ROSEBURG, Or, July 2T.

The body taken from the river never has been identified. Special Agent Rutherford, who brought Kingman here from Phoe nix, Ariz., where he was arrested, began the investigation as a result of finding express company checks, apparently stolen from a Washing ton station, in the prisoner's pos session. Bloodstains on one of these checks excited the first suspicion. Kingman denied having ever having been In Oregon, but the authorities declared that he also had checks and other articles taken from the Wilbur station. When taken before the finger print expert at Sacramento, King man was recognized as being Carl Becker, alias Paul Krueger, who was arrested for grand larceny after having stolen- a motorcycle at Sac ramento. At that time he was wanted in Minnesota. Tillamook Hay Crop Light. TILLAMOOK, Or., July 27. (Spe cial.)

Usually at this season of the year the meadows-are green, producing a large amount of green feed, but they are drying up quite rapidly, with the result that the dairvmen soon will have to be gin feeding.
