Salem. Or., Feb. 5. Today is a red letter day for the "drys" of Oregon. The much discussed prohibition bill - will without doubt be passed by the house -of Representatives this -afternoon with comparatively few opposing votes. This will be the first conclusive step In the enactment of a prohibitory law In response to the voice of the people expressed by a vote of 15.000 for statewide prohibition. . The hall , of representatives is Jammed to the doors with people from many parts of the state, who have come' to see the prohibition measure get a'good t tart on its wuy through the legislature. A large delegation is here from Portland. At 2 o'clock this after noon the house of representatives took up the final consideration of substi tute house bill 362, which is the prohi bition measure. Last night unexpected opposition to the measure developed. The committee on alcoholic traffic, of which E. V. Lit tlefield Is chairman, has been working for weeks on the bill, and it was be lieved that it had been whipped into such shape that no formidable opposi tion would appear. But last night and lla morning rumblings were heard against It. The statement was made by one recalcitrant that the opposition had enough votes to defeat the bill if they so desired. Some Opposition Expressed. Friends of the bill say this state ment is exaggerated and that the bill is -certain to go through. The opposi tion to the measure seems to come chiefly from- W. W. Cardwell, V. P. Laf ferty, Charles R. Barrow and D. C. Lewis Cardwell tninKa the measure is not constitutional and will not be effective. Barrow. Lafferty and Lewis object to taking the limit off of wine that may be- shipped in for sacramental nurooses. .

When a private citizen is in need of legal advice, he should consult his attorney; when a city official is in need of advice on matters pertaining to his office, he should go to his city attorney; when a county official needs advice as to matters pertaining to his office, he and a state official should look to the vice and assistance as he may require. The attorney general should always stand ready, however, to render aid and advice to county and city attorneys and thus insure a greater unity of action and a more uniform interpretation of our laws. Matters of Importance Neglected The state has already suffered much through the time of the attor ney general and his assistants being given over to writing comparatively unimportant opinions for private individuals. One of the most important cases coming before our courts in recent years the Lincoln county tide- land contest and one which was of deep mQrnent to the people ot tins state, went to the bad largely through neglect and lack of interest on the part of the attorney ireneral. The Benson and Hyde land fraud cases were pushed aside for months and written for parties engaged in litigation over a line tence.

U. S. EXPECTED TO PROTEST TO Extension of War Zone to Include British Isles Is Considered "Paper Block ade;" Held Untenable. AMERICAN SHIPPING IS SERIOUSLY ENDANGERED British Admiralty Says Proc lamation Is a Bluff; Calls Out Destroyers. (t'nltM Tress I,eaed Wire. Washington, Feb. 6. If Germany Intends her "war zone" around Eng land as a blockade, she must make it airtight" or else the United States will not recognize it. This was broad ly intimated by officials of the gov ernment here after the meeting of the cabinet 'today, at whichi the German order was discussed in detail. The no tice received by this government so far, however, is regarded merely as a warning that such a danger zone will exist, such as have heretofore been ssued by England and Germany con cerning- milled Areas in the North sea. It is officially stated that no pro test nor other note rc-sardine the mat er has yet been sent to Germany by the state department. After a brief examination of the German proclamation extend- ng the European war zone to all the waters in the vicinitv of J'ngland and France, officials of the administration were inclined today to believe that there was ground for a protest. Protest Is Expected, While he did not actual) v declare that a protest would be made bv the United States, one hish administra tion official volunteered todav the guess" that it would be. He said the situation was likely to bring . develop ments important to the United States. Mantime Counsellor L&nsine- of the state department is examining the Ger man order and consulting the interna tional law concerning it to discover precedents governing the case. The order is generally characterized here as a "paper blockade," although1 administration officials are understood to believe that in endeavoring to en force it Germany might wreak havoc' or. American. vesselsrirt"t;j6i3tea it- stances. This blockade of all the waters around the British isles is in accord ance with the announced determi nation of Germany, through Vice Ad- Injiral von Tirpitz in an interview re cently wiin correspondent Karl li. von Wiegand of the United Press, to starve England into submission by a submarine blockade. Submarines. Von Tirpitz declared, had already cruised around England. Every merchant ship belonging to an enemy, the German admiralty an nouncement says, found in the waters around Great Britain and Ireland will be destroyed even if it is impossible to avert the danger threatening its crew or passengers. Neutral Ships In Danger. "Neutral shrps In this war zone also will be in danger as a consequence of the misuse of a neutral flag by the British and the hazards of naval war fare which cannot always be avoided. that attacks meant for an enemy may endanger neutral ships. "Shipping northward around the Shetland islands, in the eastern basin of the North sea and a strip of at least 30 miles along the Dutch coast will be endangered in, the same way."

In a no less critical position than the Japanese cruiser Asama, which is aground near Point Bartolome, but farther down the coast and ashore In a somewhat less rocky spot, the American eteamshly Colon, formerly a Mexican vecsel. was in danger today of complete destruc tion. Ttus Colon, which sailed from San Francisco January 16 with a cargo of general 1 merchandise for Sauna Cruz and which carried a crew of 20 men, but no passengers, left Guaymas January 30 and was driven on the bar of Topolobampo bay by the recent storm. Topolobampo bay is ' about midway between Guaymas and Mazat lan, on the mainland, nearly 1000 niiles south of Kan Diego. The United Ktates cruiser Mary land, which received the Colon's "S. r. S" call, responded quickly and has since been standing guard. At last reports waves were said to be breaking over the Colon, and the gunboat Annapolis, which was at Guaymas, has gone to assist the Mary land. The Colon is owned by the Americac Mexican Trading company. She is a steam schooner of 1535 tons. Until recently she was owned by the Com nania Naveria Del Pacifi'co of Sout& America and was known as the Ramon Corral.

Shortly befDre noon she entered the office and walked to the window and raised It and leaned far out.

The woman then went to another window, opened it and Jumped. She struck on her shoulder and broke her neck. Coroner F. H.

He went downstairs, saw she was dead, and ordered that the body be left as it lay. When he returned an ambulance had. taken It to the Good Samaritan hospital, and then to the morgue.

Because of the insistent need of more American cereals by England, a private cable' from there today indi cated that government interests bad already taken steps to induce mem bers of the Ship Owners' association to reduce the charter rates on cereals. If this Is not done by the ship owners the advice indicates that the govern ment itself will force the issue. The meaning of this advice to the cereal Interests of fle Pacific north west is most important. It means that if the English government suc ceeds In securing lower freight rates on cereals the growers of the Pacific northwest states will secure more money for their grain. Were it not for the fact that freight rates were abnormally high, the price of 'wheat here today would be close to ;2 a bushel in fact, some; of the leaa ne exporting Interests are already forecasting that price before the next crop is available for the market. There was a further advance ana new high record for wheat today on the Portland Merchants' Exchange, the rise beinir c to lc a bushel over the previous high record.
