Mr. Hutton ad mitted that the Importation of liquor is . permitted by the law -which was pre pared by "dry" organizations and , presented to the Legislature for adoption through a committee of which K. V. Llttlefield, Mr. McArthur's op ponent for Congressional nomination, was chairman. The action to which Attorney Ellsha A. Baker filed answer yesterday re sulted from the circulation by Anti saloon League forces of a cartoon dodger representing Congressman Mc Arthur as being opposed to law en forcement In his desire to abet the invasion of the state by California' liquor concerns. Publication of the alleged, libel la admitted, but that It Injured Mr. Mo Arthur to the extent of holding him up to ridicule or contempt is denied. Mr. Hutton. asserts that the printing of the circuiar was not a personal attack, - but that it emanated, from the Anti Saloon League, and that the rank, and file of the members of the league ' seemed eager to secure copies, and. in dorsed the sentiment expressed in the statement that 'Taf McArthur gives license to California booze-boosting, home-destroying: defiors of Oregon law."

'Pi: iiiiitck on the constitutionality iT a portion of the dry law, permitting Hie sale by affidavit of pure alcohol for external use, made in paragraph 13 , of Mr. McArthur's complaint, met with . a defense of the law. The allegation in the same paragraph that Mr. Hutton conspired to prevent the public from placing the blame for Importations of liquor and sale of alcohol on the Legis lature which adopted the dry law is denied. i - Mr. Hutton asserts that E. V. Little field, though chairman of tbe com mittee on alcoholic liquors, had little to do with the final form of the law adopted, which was decided, upon after consultations with the Committee of 1 One Hundred, the Anti-Saloon League, the W. C. T. U. and other organizations, . as conforming to the will of the people. The defendant in the action asserted his belief that Mr. McArthur was pres ent in person at the time the Legisla ture was framing the dry law, being st the Legislature as lobbyist for.spe- i rial interests, and could have used his Influence to prevent any mistakes oc curring in the law and "might have secured the passage of a law more stringent in its terms and, as plaintiff now pretends, could and should have been enacted.' High Salary Denied. Mr. Hutton denied that he is a high ly paid employe of the league, main- taining that, while his salary is $2000 a year, its payment is more or less doubtful, as he has not received his salary in full at the present time. i The conclusion of the headquarters committee of the league, which voted , unanimously to oppose Mr. McArthur and to support Mr. Littlefield for Con gress, led to the preparation of the ob jectionable circular, it is alleged. The circular was prepared, without malice, it is recorded, to make it known to voters that Mr. McArthur was not in , favor of submitting the matter of pro hibition to a vote by the people of the United States and that by his unwill ingness he was acting in favor of the California liquor shippers.

SALEM, Or, May 6. (Special.) The striking growth of bank deposits in Oregon, since the beginning of 1908. following the panic of 1907, is shown graphically in a chart prepared by S. G. Sargent. State Superintendent of Banks. In 1D08 Oregon had 191 National and State banks, with deposits aggregating approximately $S5, 000,000, while today the total deposits are approximately $127,000,000 and gaining steadily. There are now 261 National and State banks, 84 being National and 177 State Institutions. Nine years ago there were 59 National banks and 132 State banks. From 1908 to 1910. inclusive, banks deposits in the state rose steadily with out fluctuation from $85,000,000 to $119. 000.000. From the first of 1911 to the close of 1913 deposits in National and state banks showed slight fluctuations, with a rising tendency. At the close of 1913 deposits in Oregon touched their high mark with a total of $133,000,000. With the outbreak of war in Europe a decrease resulted, until at the begin ning of 1915 deposits aggregated only $117,000,000. Since then, however, con ditions have steadily improved, and the gain in deposits has been steady until now they total $127,000,000. The National banks in 1914 began to gain 1. deposits, while stale institu tions fell off. This fact is accounted for, according to Superintendent Sar gent, because in 1914 the Security Sav ings & Trust Company, of Portland, was consolidated with the First National Bank of Portland. The decrease in state bank deposits at this time was approximately $10,000,000. Since the third call o 1915, however, deposits in Oregon state banks have risen steadily. gaining about $5,000,000 in the last six months. State bank deposits now total approx imately $19,000,000, while deposits In National banks of the state total ap proximately $78,000,000. 53-YEAR-OLD BILL PAID Sum of $1.50 Is Turned Over to Heir of West Virginian.
