THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1922 21 SCHOOL MEASURE TO BE ATTACKED Bill Is Unconstitutional, Say 200 Lawyers. INSTITUTIONS STAY OPEN Xcw law Does Not Go Into Effect tntil 1926; Plans Are "ot Yet Revealed. Although it is generally ad mitted that the compulsory school bill, enacted at Tuesday's election, will be subjected to a test of its con stitutionality, opponents of the measure said yesterday that they were not reacy as yet to divulge their plans. The leaders of the oppos'tion had not fully outlined thein plans for the future. Private and parochial schools are still run ning and will continue to run, as the bill does not Decome effective until 1926. The measure1 has just started on its road to reality, the "anti" forces declared. Two hundred of the leading lawyers of the state, after examining the measure, have pro nounced it to be unconstitutional, a direct blow at the rights of par ents and the rights of property. On these two grounds the attack is expected to hinge. Two Courses Are Open. According to the opponents two general courses of legal action are open. One is to demand an injunc tion preventing the governor from publishing the 4ill and declaring it a law. The other is to test the constitutional! y of the measure in the higher courts. If a permanent injunction against the publishing of the measure as a law were issued by a court federal or state, the' matter would end there. But in case the injunction were refused, it is pointed out that the bill, becoming a law, could not be attacked until som prosecution were brought under it. If the op ponents were forced to wait until the bill oecame effective, in order to open their attack onits consti tutionality, it if claimed that the status of private and parochial schools would be so seriously af fected that there would be little to gain In a legal victory. "It is too early yet to make any definite announcement as to our fu ture course." announced Joseph A. Hill, head of Hill Military academy and executive secretary of the Pro testant and non-sectarian committee for freedom in education. Attack Is l'rom3nel. "The bill will be attacked. Two hundred lawyers who have examined it have held it to be a violation of the provisions of the federal con stitution. But it is too soon to an nounce our future course. "However, private schools are not going to close immediately, as some people expected, not knowing the WIFE OF AMERICAN EXPATRIATE, WHO PROMISES TO TAKE HIS WEALTH TO ENGLAND.

John Jacob Astor (son of the first younger brother of the present Viscount Astor), is a daughter of the fourth (late) Earl of Minto and sister of the present (fifth), and is the widow of Major Lord Charles Mtrcer-Nairne, who was killed in action during the war. News dispatches from England tell of Major Astor's campaign pledge, made at a meeting of the unemployed in Dover, to transfer all his property, both real and personal, to England. He is a conservative party candidate for parliament. c RECEP T TP DOYLES AMAZING Sir Arthur and Wife Find Spiritists Numerous.

The general legal objection to the measure, according io lawyers, is the fact that it In. ringes on the rights of parents to select the place of education for their children, and that It is a violation, of constitu tional guarantees in that It forbids a person to own. operate or teach in any school but a public scnool. . The attack may be started in state or federal courts, although it is gen erally stated that the case will ulti mately go to the United States su preme court for final decision.

Oor American Adventure, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. (Copyright by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 11)22, for the United States and Great Britain. Released by North American Newspaper Alliance.) ARTICLE Xt (continued). In spite of our familiarity with great meetings, Chicago rather took our breath away. We are certainly ending on our. top note. All seats were sold out by the -afternoon, and there were 250 people crammed on the platform. It was with some difficulty that my. wife and I reached our central chairs. It was a won derful bank, or series of banks, of faces, stretching away back into the gloom! My wife tells me that I rose to the occasion. I was moved myself and so perhaps I was able to move others. There was hardly a cough or a movement for the hour and a half of the address. When I ended there were cries for my wife, and I glanced at her, but she prefers not to speak in public. If she could let her burning feelings have full play, and voice her deep womanly desire to bring comfort to the strick en, she would be a world force. She has that human touch, that natural touch of the heart, which no man can ever attain. When we got into the street it was raining heavily and Widde combe disappeared in search of a cab. In an instant, under the pelt ing shower, a group of people, with out an umbrella among them, pressed round us with eager ques tions about life and death. A poor ragged man with unsold papers under his arm was the most eager. Why did we remember nothing be fore birth? What about reincarna tion? They were eager to know more, but the cab came and we left them still arguing a scene no man could invent. . ' Spiritistn Give Reception. The good spiritualists of Chicago had arranged a reception very much on the lines of that which we had in Melbourne over a year ago. It was a very pleasant evening, but in stead of congregations, only dele gates seem to have been present, so that the numbers were not imposing. I had hoped -hat it would have been an gecasion for showing our strength, whereas it gave a wrong impression to the press as to our numbers. However, the proceed the cab was absolutely filled with them. - I proposed, that an obelisk be built by international subscription and erected at Rochester and, the proposal was well received. We put forward $250 and the Chicago head quarters did the same, so we start level. The task of collecting the money has been left to me. -1 can only hope that they will take my view, but for some reason we have never ,found our - people very gen erous, and many continually re ceive the greatest of all blessings at our hands without any return. It is at present the same small group of men and women who do all the work ai)d find all the money. Aviator Telln Experiences. I had an interesting talk while in Chicago with Major Schroeder, who broke the height record in 1920 in his aeroplane. He reached 37,000 feet. At that point something went wrong with his oxygen tube and he fell down in the car among the carbon dioxide which came from the exnaust. This poisonous stuff would soon have killed him, but the machine, left to itself, fell seven miles in less than three minutes. The improved air revived Schroeder and he was able to regain command when only about 1800 feet above earth. Fancy falling like a stone for seven miles! I am not sure if it is a nightmare or a dream of bliss. He had ready rriy story, "The 'Horror of the Heights," and ad mitted to me that he always at great altitudes had a subconscious fear that he might meet soriTe new form of life. "Look1 out for those big angle worms!" they had called to him as he left the ground. After all, the deepest sea sustains life why not the highest air? As a matter of fact the only strange thing he ever saw was a flight of snow birds, like robins, flying at 12.000 feet altitude. Also drifting spider webs with spiders still on them. The great problem is to prevent your eyes freezing, which is done by double glasses with a sort of thermos arrangement. No one, he thinks, will ever get much higher because the tenuous air will not give a grip to the machine. Al together I was very interested in our talk. Reporter Hard to Please. The reporters are certainly hard to please. In Toledo they pro claimed, probably with truth, that I was careless of dress. In Chicago they described me as exquisite, or at any rate they depicted me as wearing a light blue suit, a purple tie, purple silk socks and white slip pers. The latter I must plead guilty to, and they would have elicited "Niagara, I perceive," from the late Mr. Holmes, for the children gave them to me there as a local curi osity. The papers have been making free with the children also, saying. to their great indignation, "the young Doyles are bored stiff with their parents' spiritualism but want more yarns from him." "I'd like to see that editor," said Denis, grimly, as he read it. "Same here!" piped the small voice of Billy. "I'm bored stiff with his paper," said Malcom. But the press usually holds the balance true in the end, and they have actually published Malcom's first story, which is told in a series of pictures in the Evening Ameri can. They are really excellent and we are all very pleased at it, from the first legend "The black gang going to raid the house of James Banker, a millionaire," through "'Hands up, you dog!" cried the captain" up to "We drop a bomb 4$ " IIH kmM' martin rfenbstfjtp abofae all ties botpmb tfje fteart ' I 3 .1 Ti'i: .iSiliiiiiliiiiffl "arssaaiiisras rhiaiiMp-gKii Earl of Oreizy. name to associate with friend ship, that's Thomsen's.

The annual ball of the Grays Harbor Shriner club has been set for December 29. Active prepar ations for the ball will be taken up by subcommittees to be named soon. 10,000 boxes remain to be gathered. Very few vegetables were caught by the early frosts and practically every crop has been harvested and stored. The market for the apple crop is on the rise and growers a.re more hopeful of the outlook. Apple Picking Delayed. IMBLER. Or., Nov. 8. (Special.) Lack of material for making boxes has delayed the picking of apples on the Miller farm. More than Academy Stages Plays. MOUNT ANGEL ACADEMY". St. Benedict, Or., Nov. 8. (Special.) The Mount Angel Academy ' Dra matic club presented two playlets on the afternoon of November . 4. The first playlet, "An Open Secret," was written by Regina Larsen, a student at Mount Angel academy, in which she took the principal part. The second playlet was "A Case of Suspension." Washington, I). C, Iladio Heard. ABKRDEEN, Wash., Nov. 8. (Spe cial.) The new radio station of the Grays Harbor Stevedore company last night picked up a message from the station at Arlington, near Wash ington, I. C. The message was heard very clearly, according to Ned Sanborn, operator. When the instrument is tuned up properly, Sanborn said, messages may be re ceived from even longer distances. The federal sending license ia awaited before sending of message stnrt. CS3 Sweeping Reductions Made to Keep Factory Running and Keep Our Tailors From Leaving Portland! RC TT'l l 0 1 We believe when such a cut in price is made easons tor This Clothing bale: Zlt ffl! All of us know that business, at least in a great many lines, is not as good as it should be, and ours is no exception. In fact, we had planned on doing at least forty per cent more business in all our stores than we are now doing. We have kept our clothing factory running on full time throughout the past summer, thinking that business would pick up and get better, but it seems we are to be disappointed. , It has now come to a time when we will either have to close part of our factory and lose our skilled tailors or get a much larger outlet for our pure Virgin Wool Suits and Overcoats. After carefully considering how best to keep things running and at the same time dispose of hundreds of surplus garments that have accumulated in our factory, we have decided to re duce the selling price to so low a figure that it will be .an inducement for every one to come to the Brownsville Woolen Mill Store and supply their wants. We invite the public to come and share in these big Price Reductions and asure them of only the highest class merchandise. MAIL ORDERS FILLED! READ INSTRUCTIONS During this big reduction sale it wilt be only natural for a great many of our out-of-town customers to want to share in the price reductions. We are anxious to supply our outside trade, but will not be able to send samples of cloth representing suits on sale. However, we have a mail order department that will properly take care of your order. Tell us the size of coat (breast measure), the waist measure and length ef pants (inseam); your age, weight, the color and description of the suit wanted and the price you want to pay and we will select a suit and send it on approval.
