P. Hutton as sistant superintendent of the Anti-Sa lon league for Oregon, addressing 300 i business men at a luncheon yesterday noon in tne Hotel Portland. Hutton used a nhrase of Mark ! Matthews, of Seattle, to explain the situation "the bad citizenshin of our best citlsens." It is hot those who op pose a good measure who defeat it. but those who fail to vote, be said. Howard H. Russell, of Ohio, who founded the Anti-Saloon league In 1S93, was the honor guest. Mayor Albea presided and was Introduced by Sam uel tjonneii. Frt of General Campaign. Dr. Russell said that the campaign to make Oregon dry la part of a cam paign to stop the manufacture and sal of liqnuor throughout the nation. There are now, he explained, nine "dry" states; It Is hoped this year will add four mora to the list, and with 13 states "dry" It Is believed congress will pass a national antl-llquor law. Rev. J. Q. A. Henry, former pastor of the First Baptist church here. named a number of reasons why the prohibition amendment should carry reduced taxes, increased work, in creased thrift and wealth, reduced pov erty, lessened disease, decreased temp- ! tatlon, a blow at gambling and Inst, safeguard for children; Increased self ' respect and added moral tone and j spiritual power for a community. Woman Slakes Tta Money. Mr. Hutton called attention to the fact that notaries may register per sons who cannot get to the registra tion office, 4-nd that for each name thus registered the state is required to pay 10 cents. He told of a woman notary at Med- ; ford who registered 1000 voters and made 1100 pin money, and of an Ore gon City woman notary who went out registering voters, but who inquired at each farm house whether those in the next farm house were "wet" or "dry." If they were "wet" she passed them by; If they were "dry" she registered them; The meeting closed with an ap- campaign. Leniency of Court Saves Gun Wielder Joe BnbotlcB Given Severs Xaotnxs fcy Judge Dayton for Threatening" Ar resting Officer. y A disposition toward leniency on the part of Deputy Sheriff Lumeden and Deputy District Attorney Roblson was all that saved Joe Subotlch, a resident of the Wlllbrldge neighbor hood, from spending the coming few months In jail, according to District Judge Dayton yesterday. Subotlcn, through Attorney G. O. Hchmltt. pleaded guilty to a charge of drawing a revolver on Lumsden, but 'said he was drunk at the time and did not know what he was doing. "Because the state and prosecuting witness do not desire to prosecute. I will suspend sentence, but If he re turns he must serve a full year In the county Jail and whatever sentence he may receive In the-future," said Judge Dayton. "His revolver is confiscated." I l tie irouoie wnicn tea 10 ouuoucn arrest has been over a aucic pona. Subotlch charged Frank Huntam with stealing 250 ducks and Lumsden and Deputy Beckmsn went to arrest Huntam. Subotlch became ugly and interfered, drawing a gun when or dered away. After Subotlch was sentenced yes terday Huntam's case came up, but SMbotlch and Huntam bad agreed that each would open his duck pens and let such as belonged to the other wander home. On that agreement the larceny charge against Huntam was dismissed on condition that each pay $, one half of the costs of Huntam's arrest. Chinese Divided on Kiao Chao Problem Enemies of President Tnaa Shi Kai . rear Mm Will Eventually Be Gainer, Claiming' Moral Victory. Shanghai, Aug.: 19. Enemies of President Tuan Shi Kal were not pleased today at Indications that Ger many might cede Klso Chao back to China direct Instead of turning it over to Japan or fighting to retain It for the kaiser. Should It go to Japan, the plan waa to denounce the president for permit ting the mikado's people, who are both -feared and hated by the coaet Chinese, to secure such snother foothold on the mainland. In the event of a fight, an excellent chance was set-n to stir op dlHorders In a district near enough to ' Peking to be extremely disturbing, to the government there. If China should get the territory hack, however. It waa considered cer tain that Tuan would take full eredit for It, probably circulating the story that he himself had overawed the Ger mans. Fears were expressed that such an outcome might materially strengthen hi hand.
