A canvas on the east side of persons
eligible to vote Bnow a large major
ity In favor of statewide prohibition: a
lauy or eaat side residents who have
registered to vote shows an over- .
whelming majority against statewide
prohibition, declared S. 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.
