CIVIL SUIT BUGBEAR YET FEW HAVE NO OPPOSITION Charles Stldd. of The Dalles, is an- 0 MORE ENTER RACES Slilitia Officer Says Probably He . Would Go to Testify Against Godwin and Rand if Assured ' of Exemption From Writ. ' SALEM, Or.. March 21. (Special.) Receiving: a telegram today from Bird Spalding-, foreman of the Baker County grand jury, announcing: that Colonel B. K. Lawson'B presence waa necessary in the probe of allegations against Dis trict Attorney Godwin and Sheriff Hand, , Governor West said be, would not send Colonel Lawson to Baker, but would have him forward an affidavit covering what he knows of conditions in Copper field before and after martial law was declared. He further said that he would dispatch Frank Snodgrass to Baker to tell his story relating- to the seizure of immoral pictures. The Governor said that Snodgrass had made all the Investigations, and had the evidence with which his office relied upon from the start.- Snodgrass will leave Salem in time to reach Baker iext Tuesday, Mr. West having wired Jdr. Spalding as follows: "Tour refusal to subpena Snodgrass, who found obscene pictures upon walls and aided in removing them, can only be construed as a desire to keep his testimony from the grand jury. In view of this we are sending Snodgrass without expense to your county, and Insist he be permitted to offer his tes timony." Mr. Spalding in his telegram to the Governor today said it was understood that Colonel Lawson took the pictures from the wall of the saloon, and the jury also wanted him to present evi dence against the District Attorney and Sheriff. He said the Jury would be pleased to hear Snodgrass' testimony. Governor West i3 being accused ' of a disregard of the law for not sending Colonel Lawson to Baker to testify be fore the grand jury. It is argued if the Governor is so anxious for law enforcement he should do everything in bis power to aid, and not try to hinder an investigation of alleged crime. He contends that Colonel Lawson could give material testimony that cannot be griven by Snodgrass, and that the re quest for Colonel Lawson is a subter fuge to get him to Baker so that he way be served with papers in a civil suit. Colonel Lawson, it is reported, has not been relieved from military duty since the Copperfleld episode, and it is understood that even if he should be served with a subpena it would -not be effective under the circumstances. Colonel Lawson said today that prob ably he would go to Baker if he were assured he would not be served with papers in the civil suit of the saloon keepers, who charge that their prop erty was illegally seized and taken to Baker. PROCESS IMMTTNITY IS DENTED Baker Attorney Will Not "Induce" Governor's Agent to Avoid Writ. BAKER, Or., March 21. (Special.) James Nichols, attorney for the Cop perfleld saloonmen, would not agree today not to serve papers in the civil suit for $8000 against Colonel B. K. Lawson, Governor West and others on Colonel Lawson if he comes to Baker to answer the subpena as a witness be fore the grand jury. "I shall use my best judgment in all matters which come up which affect the interests of my clients and I will Sot sacrifice their interests for any consideration, either personal or other wise," be said. Mr. Nichols said the affairs of the grand jury did not con cern him and that it made no difference to him whether or not Colonel Lawson answered the subpena and came to Baker. Colonel Lawson has been called as a witness against William Wiegand, a client ot Attorney Nichols, who is suing Colonel Lawson for the destruction of bis saloon business at Copperfleld. Mr. Nichols fails to see why he should of fer special Inducements to Governor Wests acents to stay away from pos sible service in the civil suit at this time. District Attorney Godwin, whom the Governor accused of wanting Colonel Lawson at Baker only that Mr. Nich ols, his former law partner, might nerve him, snid that he could not give Governor WeBt's agent the immunity ha desired, as that was entirely "up to Nichols."

Court Isauea Alternate Mandamus Writ Requiring Treasurer Either to Ac cept S402.02 or Show Why Not. ASTORIA. Or., March 21. (Special.) The first skirmish in the right which some of the timber land owners are to make against the special tax levied by the Port of Astoria Commission took place today, when the Dubois Lumber Company secured an order from Judge Eakln, of the Circuit Court, directing the clerk to issue an alternate writ of mandamus, requiring the County Treasurer either to accept 8402.62 from the lumber company and credit that amount on the company's taxes or to appear in the Circuit Court next Tues day and show cause why be would not do so. The order was issued in response to a petition filed by the lum ber company In which It alleged that it was the owner of a tract of land located in the southern part of the county, on which taxes to the amount of 8626.29 have been levied on the 1913 roll. Of this amount, 8111.83 is special road tax for district No. 15 and $111.84 is the 'tax levied by the Port of As toria Commission. The petition asserts that the lum ber company tendered the County Treasurer the full amount of tax, less that levied for road district and port purposes, or $402.62, but the Treasurer declined to accept It The granting of the alternate writ of mandamus brings the case to an issue so that it can be tried before the court The petition gives no intimation of the grounds on which the fight against these special taxes is based. .
