BIG DRY LID WILL
JOGGLE INTO PLACE
' IN, JUST 10 DAYS
Street Rumors Are Fluttering
About Asking Injunction to
Ask?d Against Law,
"DRYS" ARE NOT WORRIED
CcutltatlOMl Ameudment Enables Zn
ford&ff of Srontb Evan if Act
Xs Knocked Out.
Two days more, and then the rattle
and clanging of the big lid as it set
tles Into place.
Aa the eventful hour dravi near,
treet rumors have been flying thick to
the effect that a suit for an Injunc
tion to restrain tho officials from en
forcing the law will be filed ttie last
lay.
Thla rumor says that the law will
e attacked on the ground that It ia
unconstitutional, beinj discriminatory
against Oregon manufacture of li
luor. While many persons have heard the
report that a uit la to t f.ied, no
one reerns able to put his finger on
the man who is to do the filing.'
And" the "drys" are not worrying
m the leant. Attorney General Brown,
irho Is here attending the sessions of
the Irrigation roncress, points out trvit
the report that a suit Is to be filed is
SOt plausible because of the prohi
bition constitutional amendment.
SuUn Would Hot Profit.
Even if the prohibition law should
te held up by injunction- or fcliould be
(nocked out entirely. Mr. Brown points
ut that the legitimate liquor dealer
would not profit in the leant, bec-auso
the amendment to the constitution,
roted by the people, makea it unlawful
:o manufacture or sell liquor in the
Ute.
In this state there Is both a prohi
bition constitutional amendm-ent and
Uso a prohibition law enacted by ti e
gislature. The attack, if one should
made, will be againt the law, jihI
ilr. Brown points out that If the law
ihould be entirely knocked out, the
nly effect could be to make it a little
riore difficult to keep down bootleg
ring. Prepare to Enforce Law.
All sorts of questions about the law
tre pouring into the attorney general's
fl'ice. One of the latest is how are
Jie manufacturers of flavoring ex
tracts, for instance, where a certain
luantity of alcohol is used, going to
ret alcohol?
Mr. Brown Bays the law will not al
ow them to ahip the alcohol Into the
Itate themselves, but they can buy It
from druKKtfts in any quantity desired
y making the required affidavit that
t Is for manufacturing purposes only.
The attorney general said the dis
rbt attorneys throughout the state
ire making preparation to see that the
aw Is strictly enforced.

' For the first time In several years,

"Sotto voce, we hope the Panama canal

Three Years,
Kverett. Wash., I ec. 20. P. N. S
Snohomish county, ih accordance
with the wishes of a majority of th-i
voters as expressed at yesterday's
bend election, will build 130 miles of
hard surfaced highways during the
next three years. The plans propound
will gie Snohomish county one of the
finest hltrhwny systems in the state.
At yesterday's election a bond issue
of II. 813, SO" to cover the cost of con
structing the roads was approved bv
the voters. Returns tabulated todav
irdicate that th bonds carried by a
ote of almost three to one. Only
three precincts in the county return?d
a majority against the bonds and in
.ne precinct the vote favoring the
bonds was unanimous.
The bond election and the good roads
movement was actively supported by
the newly organized Everett Commer
cial club.
Hill Semis Congratulation.
1-ollovwng a campaign In behalf of
Kcod roads wageil jn Snohomish coun
ty. Washington, by Samuel Hill, Fran
Terrace and J. li. Mlddleton, word was
received In Portland today by Mr. Hill
that the people of the county had voted
a bond Issue of 11,813,000 to be expend
ed on their roads.
The Everett Dally Herald wired Mr.
Hill today as follows; "Snohomish
county today Vy great majority voted
m pave 140 miles of county roads, com
prising entire system of trunk high
ways" of county by aid of bond Issue of

Mr. Hill telegraphed In reply:
"Heartiest congratulations to Snoho

If you secure proper engineering talent
y ur county admits of a construction
of some of the finest and n.ot scenic
hifchways in the state. If I can aid
you in any way, command me."

I sure some record for vaudeville per-
It Is probably worth something to
Tally & Mayo to hear themselves,
work, ar.d after getting Into Port
land introduced themselves at Graves
Music Co.. 151 4th st.. avanting to
hear the New Edison records and
dblr i t mind listening to themselves.
W hen Mr. Graves hmnrhi onf "a
the Ball, That's All" then it hap
pened. They sang with the record
and without the record, thev broke in
here and there with a little tenor
then a little bass, and told a riddle ur
twfi and those in the room simplv
could not tell the difference between
the voice and the records
All of which sounds very much Ilk,,
a press agent's sturv and must he
heard to be really believed. Mr
Graves, of Graves Music Co., was
very glad indeed to extend to Tally &
Mayo the use of one of Mr. Edison's
laboratory models of the Diamond
Iisc Phonographs, to be used during
their Portland Orpheum engagement.
Incredulously Inclined people should
hear this "tone test" during the
week, and satisfy themselves aa to
whether Mr. Edison's claims as to
the recreation of music are all that
they are said to be. Anyway. It's i
real novelty and well worth the hear,

'CHARITY' OPERATOR
SENTENCED TO PAY
FIFTY DOLLAR FINE
Irving P, Oehler Had Opened
Offices and Claimed to
Have Church Backing,
HAS FINANCIAL TROUBLES
Many Cooks and Walters Were on
Hand to Testify Against Their
Pormer Employe Testerday.
Irving P. Oehler, convicted in Judge
Iayton's department of the district
court on a charge of conducting a bo
gus charity organization, was Fentenci-,1
yesterday to pay a fine of 50. Il
entered a plea of not guilty.
Oehler's scheme 4 operation is said
to be entirely new In ttie get-rtch-qulck
game In Portland. On the approach
of the holidays he opened a soup house
in the city's old employment burea'i
at Second and Salmon streets. With
the representation that he had the sup
port of several churches, Oehler found
little difficulty in establishing suf.
flciert credit to start the soup shop.
He then fitted up offices in the Stock
Exchange building and launched his
campaign under the name of the Chari
table Relief society. Tags calling for
a meal at certain restaurants with
which Oehler had conducted negotia
tions. were sold on the streets at five
cents each. t eh)er had disposed
of
more than 14"0 of these before his
arrest last Wednesday by Deputy Con-staMe-
Nichols. Oehler victimized sev
eral buslnesp men to the tune of ap
proximately 11000.
W. li. Storer, proprietor of a lunch
counter at 230 Kirst street, testified
that he had served more than $.i.'0
worth of meals on Oehler's paper.
Mack's Place at 230 Washington street
also was "stung" for $50. Several
others to whom Oehler had given hi
promise to redeem the tickets at the
end of December, lost suiwr ranging
from $25 up to $73. t
A force of half a hundred cooks and j
waiters from the Oehler soup house
were on hand to testify against their
former employer.
Oehler refused to say whether hi?
charity scheme was original, but sev
eral persons about the courthouse to
day said they recognized the plan as
one expounded In a serial story several
months hko In a popular weekly maga
zine. HANK ASKS "WHO'S WHO?"

COURT HAS TOUGH PROBLEM
Question of Contempt of Court Is
Hard to Solve.
There was a wide difference of opin
ion in Judge Gantenbeln's court yes
terday as to why E. M. Olsen, pro
prietor, dismissed C. W. Carlson, man
ager, of an apartment house at East
Firtst and Multnomah streets. Olsen
was cited for contempt of court on
the chars that Carlson wa dis
charged becatMe he was forced to ac
cept service on the grand jury now in
; session. Carlson contended that tho
Jrry service was the only cause for
dismissal ; olsen alleged that his house
manager was ousted because of re
fusal to paint the apartment. Tho
manager countered with a declaration
that the demand for his service as-a
painter was a subtirfuge. Carlson
id h had rendered faithful aervico
to his employer for two years. Judicu
Gantenbeiu warned Olsen of the
gravity of the offense charged, but
said he Was unable to determine tha
merits of the accusation.

I Although Jesse R Pelton is seeking

tle grl one could wish for. But I
did not know.
He lived a double life and the ig
norance of it was the sweetest of
bliss to me. Our apartment was
one of the finest in the city. I had
everything one could wish for.
The world was mine. '
J But I found out. Love turned to
hate and I thirsted for revenge.
I started on my mission cruel,
bloodthirsty and unrelenting. I
went to his home.
G While waiting, his little girl
came to me and put her arms
about my neck and asked : "Have
you a little girl at home?"
J My heart melted. All desire for
revenge was gone. I gave the man
back to the woman whose love
marriage had sanctified and made
holy.
Such is the story of my life in
brief.
Corne and I'll tell you all just as
it happened.
