JANUARY 27, 1914. i. , f CRAWFORD IN CASE AGAINST THE STATE BOARD Judge Kelly Dismisses Action of Attorney General in Su ing on Account of Expend itures of "Revolving Fund" OLD TIME FRIENDS MEET AND HAVE A WARM HANDSHAKE (Salem Bureau of The Jouriis,!. Salem, Or., Jan. !7. Because Attor ney; General Crawford failed to make any showing of damages sustained by the state, Circuit Judge Kelly today sustained the motion of John McNary, attorney for the members of the state j board, for judgment on the pleadings in the penitentiary revolving fund rase,, wherein Crawford brought suit to recover from Governor West, Secretary of 8tate Olcott and .State Treasurer Kay, approximately $16,000 alleged to have been, spent for the state illegally. Judge Kelly dismissed the action. When the case firat came before .Judge Kelly, he held that Crawford's complaint failed to state facts suf ficient to constitute a cause of action, because it did not allege that the state had been damaged by the expenditure of the money from the revolving fund. In fact, It was admitted that the money had all been spent ;for . the benefit and use of the state in con. ductlna- the prison brickyard, and buy- : itig supplies and land for brick making. !' Crawford amended his complaint, in l serting an allegation that the state was lar?ina-d. It was presumed he was ; going to introduce testimony to show the damage, but when the case came before Judge Kelly this morning Craw- ! ford flrtt moved for a judgment on tha pleadings. This was overruled. ! Then McNary mado a similar motion for the defendants and it was sus- : mined i "It is the view of this court." said j JudRe Kelly, "that the measure of ! .lamages In this case would be the dif ference between the vnlue of the serv 1 ic-s and" the property obtained by the : use of the funds in question, and the amount of such funds used, and the al legations of the further and separate i ar swer ure to tlie effect that there Is ric difference, or that the market value ; whs the amount paid and that the i property could not have been obtained -! for less, and that it was necessary to obtain the same In order to maintain I public Institution, and for that rea ; urn It Is the opinion of the court that ; the pleadings disclose that no damage bus been incurred, that the state has not lost tinything. "The contention that the mere use of the money In violation of the tech- ; (ileal rule of law as to the manner In which ths use may be made would con : stUute an act which would entitle the .; state to -recover judgment against the ; of fleer. so using the same, without re ! gard to the benefit which the state I would obtain by reason of Its use, is one with" which this court -cannot i agree, and if the court is in error as ! to its knowledge of the law on this ; point all this court has to say about It Is not .the law, as contended for, -. is in direct contradistinction to the dictates of natural justice as applied i to the affairs of men." Crawford says he will appeal to the I supreme court. He has 60 days in which to perfect the appeal. PETITION CIRCULATORS '! BARRED FORM BUILDING With all arrangement made for a trip to Seattle, where he was to seek W. P. La Roche, Portland's city attorney, H. M. Lofton, manager ; of the .Co lumbia Iron Pipe company of Chattanooga, Tenn., dropped into Commissioner Daly's office at the city hall tni morning. During the course of the con versa lion Mr. Lofton mentioned to J.. K. McCool, secretary to Commissioner Daly, that he was going to Seattle to look up an old friend.

"Seattle, nothing.- replied McCool.

Recent Suit. Armed with a wiip, Mrs. Ciertrud-? (ierllnger appeared in the offices of Attorney F. L. Brown, yesterday af ternoon, and succeeded in lashing him with it before he was able to eject her from the office. She was accompanied by a newsboy as far as the doorway, and after sh had entered informed Brown, it is stat ed, that she had come to settle with him for "lying against her" when he appeared recently as a witness, in her $50,000 breach of promise suit against Lloyd Frank. Brown, at the trial, tes tified that he had a pair of slippers at uer home and had breakfasted there severul times. Mrs. Gerllnger obtainnd a verdict against Frank, and was al-1 lowed (1 damages. j As a result of the alleged assault, , Brown swore out a complaint again it her, charging assault, and Mrs. Ger llnger was arrested. -Bail was fur nished by her attorney and she is scheduled to Appear in District Judge Jones' court for trial this afternoon. Mrs. Gerllnger's version of the en counter is to the effect that she went to his office to censure him for 'his testimony in the Frank case. "Not knowing what he might do," she said, "when he found out the reason- for my visit, I had a newsboy accompany me, and before I entered the office instructed Mm to call a policeman if I failed to come out within half an hour, "I told Brown what I thought of him, then struck him twice with the whip I carried in my muff. He threw ous lands. Fulton, alleging that an T editorial and a news article pertaining J I to the defendants, published during the J ', course of tha trial by The Journal, had prejudiced public opinion and the ju rors against his clients, made this the basis of his plea for a rehearing. Answering Fulton's argument of the morning. United States Attorney Clar ence L. Reames spoke at length yester day afternoon. In the course of his remarks, Reames declared that the ju rors all had taken an oath Individually that rhev hnrl not rMri thfl eritrnrtnl or i the article during the progress of the trial, but all of them said they had not read it or heard of it until they as sembled in the office of the United States attorney Friday and Saturday of last week and- Sunday of this week. Statements All Trn. ' Reames asserted that despite Ful ton's most bitter denunciation of The Journal, not one thing that had been said in the editorial regarding the trial had been proven to be untrue, The government prosecutor then proceeded to analyze the editorial, clause, by clause, and showed where the evidence of the trial had supported, and more than supported, every statement of the editorial. "I cannot agree with Mr. Fulton when he thinks that all reports of evi ance with written orders sent -to the heads of all city departments by Mayor Albee this morning. This ac tion Is the direct result of the accl dent of last Saturday morning, when Sheriff "Word and Captain of Police Inskeep and several others riding in i the police automobile were injured and the car damaged Mayor Albee contends that the ma chines going the limit, 25 miles an hour, can get to the Bcene of a fire or holdup, whichever the case may be, by staying within the limit and not en dangeiing the lives of either pedes trians or occupants of the cars. Here are his orders to the bureau heads: "Owing to the frequency of accl dents occurring of late, you are here by cautioned and directed to instruct all of those in your bureau, driving automobiles or motorcycles, to observe to the letter the laws governing speed within the city limits. I feel -that the provisions of the statutes are suffi ciently broad to allow fast enough time in which to reach a given point In an emergency, and that there Is no neces sity for driving faster than tha mile age per hour specified In the law. "Drivers will be held strictly ac countable for accidents wherein It Is established that they were exceeding tha speed limits, and you ara directed to so Inform them. There is no publlo necessity for a faster rate than al lowed by law and the department will not tolerate violations of thla order."

Three-quarters of an inch of snow covers the ground nere tnis morning, it having fallen since midnight last night. The fall was intermittent.
