Dg criminal case is that of Orlander
Bmith, whom the sheriff baa been ln-
ortned is under arrest at Grants Paws
a an Indictment returned by, the Coos
ounty grand Jury, a few days ago.

Iver near Bandon. lie in charged
kith, a crime against three little girls
who reside in the place, and whose
estlmony was taken before the
;rand Jury.
ETrvlth is the father of grown chll
Iren. He will also be charged With
white slavery.
A feature of the case is that Smith
came religious and his actions were
hade known to the community when
got up at a religious meeting, at
kblch a few were in attendance, and
ave testimony telling of what he had
one, saying he hoped that by making
. confession of his acts he would be
llowed to Join the church. It sp
ears that no immediate action was
aken by those who became acquaint-
d with the circumstances, and Smith
loft for Grants Pass.
When the Story spread the communi
ty became indignant. The three girls
were token before the grand Jury and
n Indictment was returned. Smith s
rrest at Grants Pans was at once or
eced. (
The grand jury is now investigating
he sensational Bandon case, involv-
ng the-doings, of the Sttnpson- sisters
f that place. Many witnesses have
een called and the names of a number
f well-known men have been men-
toned in the testimony.

(Special to The Journal.
Eugene, Or., Dec. 13.- Following a
conference In Eucene today with Dr.
James Withycombe, governor-elect, and
with members of the Eugene rortnignt
flub,, which organization is sponsor. for
the movement, Mrs. Millie . Trumouu
of Portland, chairman of the legisla
tive committee of the Oregon Federa
tion of Women's clubs announced that
a bill has-been prepared to provide hos
pital care for crippled children oi tne
state, and the legislature will be asked
to pass It at Its coming session. The
bill has the promised indorsement of
Governor-elect Withycombe who told
the club women that he will support
it in his message, and it has the sup
port of Governor West. The physi
cians of the state have also Indorsed
the movement, says Mrs. Trumbull.
4 They have agreed to donate medical
services, and the appropriation to be
asked from the state will be used
only for the payment of the cost of
keeping the crippled children in the
hospital long enough to effect a cure.
Portland club women have volun
teered to provide for educational fea
tures, says Mrs. Trumbull, by which
the children undergoing treatment
may receive vocational training, and
may come out not only cured but
taught to. use their hands and brain.
The bill places the administration of
the fund in the hands of the medical
department Of the University of Ore
gon in Portland. The bill is modeled
after the Minnesota law in operation
for many years.
Another bill being prepared by the
Woman's clubt says Mrs. Trumbull, Is
for an amendment to the widows' pen
sion law. Under the amended form
no woman with any property other
than her home will be eligible to a
pension.

firms the statements, that the Rus
stans evacuated Lodz. It was first
not observed, but was merely the out
come of the previous three days' flght-
lnsr.
'The Russian trenches were round
literally filled with dead. Though It
was our forces which were making the
attacks oucloss was far below that of
tha Russians.
"In the famous dash through the
Russian lines our Twenty-fifth reserve
corps lost only 150 men. v
"We are able to estimate tne bus
sian losses rather accurately in the
battles In Poland to date. Inoludlng
60.000 prisoners, the Russians have
lost 160,000.
The city of Loda suffered very lit.
tie from sun fire in the last battle
for its. possession."
Vrxasurss Is Capture a..
The most important factor in the
latest reports from the eastern theatre
is that of the taking ox rasasnyss.
Although this, in itself. Is not import-
ant. it shows that the Germans north
of the Vistula have begun an active
offensive.
Przasnyss lies in the direct line of
communication between Wittenberg
and Warsaw, showing that the Ger
man advance is directed against the
fortifed line along the Narew river.
If this line is .broken the Germans
would be in the rear of Warsaw and
able to exercise a deciding influence
on the Polish campaign.
News from south Poland and Galicia,
despite certain successes for the Ger
mans and Austrlans, leaves no doubt
that severe resistance is being en
countered everywhere. Evidently the
Austrians In the Carpathians are too
email to clear Hungarian , territory
of the enemy at once, but must attack
and repulse one column after another.
The Austrians report tnai iv.uvv
Russions have been captured, but fall
to say within what period, making
their report meaningless.
The operations in Servia are also
meeting with dogged resistance at
some points, but they are proceeding
southward of Belgrade.
WEST BANK OF YSER
CLEARED OF ENEMY
BY TROOPS OF ALLIES
Paris, Dec. 12. So numerous have
been the reinforcements that General
Joffre has thrown behind the line at
Ypres to support the thinned British
ranks and behind the the chain of
allies positions along the Ypres canal
northward to the sea, that during the
past two days, . even with the German
attacks the most violent of any since
those of the early days of the battle
of Flanders, the allies have been able
to clear the west bank of the Yyser
of the Invaders.
The official statement issued at
Paris today declares that from the
point opposite the ferryman's house
between Dixmude and Ypres, for pos'
session : of which there was such a
desperate struggle, to the furtherst
north of the allies' lines, the enemy
has been -forced completely to evacuate
the west bank of the canal, the allies
advancine their trenches to the wa
ter's edge, where they now command a
sweeo of the east bank.
That the allies have been able to
make good the advantage thus gained
is indicated by the official statement
issued at midnight- which says there
is no new Incident to report, permit
ting the assumption that the allies
were able to dig themselves in at their
advanced positions and thoroughly
strengthen their hold.
Nine distinct artillery engagements
i-were fought at widely separated points
of the battle line, in all or wnicn tne
French guns proved victorious. In
fcur of the engagements the German
batterleB opposing the French were
destroyed completely or silenced. In
the region of Arras the French guns
maintained the advantage during a
sharp exchange. . - Near .Nampoel
French shells put the German guns
out of action.

Special SessiorV of Common-

Appropriation for Topo graphic Sur
veys Zs Advised by Conference
at Eugene.
' (Special to The Journal.)
University of Oregon, Eugene. Or.,
Dec. 12. More consideration for the
privately-owned public utility was the
undercurrent in the final sessions of
the special session of the Common
wealth Conference here today. Both
morning and afternoon sessions were
devoted to the discussion of hydro
electric development in Oregon. . H. B.
Miller of Portland was chairman of
the Sessions. W. D. B. Dodson of
Portland, secretary of the Oregon
Hydro-Electric commission, was sec
retary.
The discussion centered about a
bill which the commission submitted
to the conference as the proposed out
lines for legislative action next
month. The bill was concerned with
these three propositions:
The creation of Dublin utilitv dis-
triots for distribution of electric energy.
The regulation of publicly owned
utilities by the state railroad commis
sion, as at persent in the case of
privately owned . utilities.
The adoption Of the indeterminate
franchise as typified in the Wiscon
sin publio utilities act.
Market Zs Weeded,
Distribution of electrical enertrv.
the finding of "a market for the elec
tricity, rather than the generation of
more current, was recognised by all
the speakers at the session. On this
both the opponents and proponents of
the scheme of dividing the state into
utility districts, agreed.
b. 15. Huston of Portland urtred
careful consideration of the proposed
measure, on the grounds that genera
tion of electric power by water power
is not cheaper than by steam, that
steam is more steady in pressure,
that the current is less liable to in
terruption when steam is used rather
than water, and on the possibility of
an arbitrary secretary of the interior
taking supervision of the power ren-
srated. if the current, generated on
private property, passed over "10 feet
of government land."
Until conrran make nuin llh.rol
laws in regard to hydro-electric de
velopment. It Is my opinion." said Mr.
Huston, "that these proposed' districts
would not be a financial success."
"Now therefore be It resolved." be
gins a resolution read by Charles E.
Warner of Portland, "that it is the
sense of the Commonwealth Confer
ence assembled at Eugene this 12th
day of December, 1914, that the an

The Greatest Distribution of Pianos
and Player Pianos Ever Witnessed
Must Come to a Close Now
When dozens of instruments are sold by Eilers
Music House daily, when instruments to the value of
tens of thousands of dollars are being taken each week,
what does it mean?
Doesn't it mean that hundreds of shrewd and far
sighted business men and women of this city and state
are recognizing the great opportunity which most un
usual conditions have made possible?
, Doesn't it mean that these people are going out of
the way now to get a piano because so much of actual
intrinsic worth is now obtainable for so little money ?
Would all these people and there are hundreds
upon hundreds, of them, as you can readily verify-
would all these people, we say, buy pianos now if they
did not find instruments obtainable for less than ever
heretofore, and undoubtedly, for less than ever here
after? That's it in a nutshell. The low prices on the na
tion's finest makes, coupled : with the most extraordi
nary easy terms of payment, - make this great piano
selling. The Manufacturers': Emergency and Surplus
Sale, in charge of the manufacturers' direct represen
tatives at Eilers, Music House, solves the Christmas gift
problem this year in a sensible, worth-while way.
! i The reasons and the peculiar conditions that have
made this sale possible have been stated heretofore.
. We again say it, thefeale must close within the next
few days, because the instruments are rapidly being
sold out. i
Whether it's an old-style piano for $35 or $40, or
one of the nation's most costly $1500 Chickerings, at
the reduced sale prices, now is the time to arrange for
one. It does not take much money: Payments may
be started after Christmas.
The main thing is to select your piano or player
pianos with free music rolls now, while these low
Emergency Sale prices are still in effect. T-
We arrange payments as best suits the convenience
of any home. , ; "

records, may be turned in as part .payment Tor one
