THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND. SATURDAY. JANUARY S.' 182D. r I V a. i DEATH PEHALTY STATUTE : URGED Inquisitors Believe Capital Pun J ishment Would Keep Down Crime in Multnomah County. Th return Of capital punishment for murder In the first degree is recommended to the state of Oregon by the December grand Jury of Mult nomah county In lta final report to Presiding Judge Oaten of the cir cuit court this morning. - It Is needed, in) the opinion of the Jury, to 'curb the lawless spirit which seems to be spreading among men of criminal tendencies. ' "Because of the lawless spirit -among A certain element of the population," the report reads, "which has been re veiled to us by our Investigations ot the present month, we wish to jo on record 'as favoring the return of capital punishment In this state. C AIM Eg ON INCREASE "A targe- number of crimes of violence, particularly ' highway robbery, which have been brought to our notice, where la Ihe lives, of peaceable citisens are - pat in jeopardy, ana wnerein muraer " might readily occur, has convinced us' that a penalty more severe than mere confinement In prison should be placed on the statute books. We feel that the death penalty in ' ease of murder would. In many in stances, have a deterring effect upon the outlaws who now tnfsst the city and who make a constant and reckless use of deadly weapons. MUCH EVIDENCE TAKE "We have taken evidence fryn . 64 cases, examined 188 witnesses, returned 44 true bills and seven not true bills. Two cases have been withdrawn and we have referred one case to the Incoming grand Jury. - "We visited the county jail and found the. surroundings and Inmates In a clean condition and the Inmates well cared for by the sheriff and his deputies."

' ' ' In an effort xo determine the rea sonableness of the present cost of Clothing, the federal fair price com mittee, comparatively Inactive for some weeks, Friday night held a closed meeting at which was dis cussed many factors which enter into the price of clothing. Ben 8elling, Portland clothing merchant, who de clined an invitation to- become a member of the committee, was one of the chief speakers. United -States Attorney Lester W. Humphreys attended his first session with the commission, but as he is not officially a member, declined to review the proceedings. Thomas Q. Farrell, chairman of the committee, presided at the .meeting, which was called by W. K. Newell, former federal food admin istrator for Oregon. No definite action resulted, members of the committee declare. In an effort to achieve the end they seek the com mittee promises several secret sessions in the. ne-tt few weeks. It is desired to exclude the public for the time being so thak witnesses will be more prone to talk freely. That he only hope of reducing the cost of clothing or any other necessity is through economy and Increased pro duction, was Selling's assertion. "I was so firmly convinced that eco nomic buying and Increased production would bring about the desired end that I have been trying it in my own case. he said, "not from necessity, but from a desire for proof of the idea. "I find that by purchasing less and being careful in selections and by in creasing personal and community pro duction, we can live far more cheaply "In proof of the idea 1 am and have been through the cold weather wearing a light spring suit rather than buy more seasonable raiment. 1 am also wearing summer underwear to save the price of heavy raiment' A Salem clothing merchant testified, as did others engaged In dispensing clothing.

THREATENED BY GERMAN PAPERS Germany Deeply Stirred by Polit ical Agitation and Vegatious Problems Left From War. By Frank E. Mason Berlin, Jan. 3. (I. N. S.) Two counter revolutions are brewing in Germany, ' according to openly printed political plans in the news papers. The new year finds this country filled with conflicting po litical agitations in addition to the problems left by the war. The reactionaries are said to be plan ning a revolt to reestablish the monar chy while the radicals are reported, to be plotting an uprising to bring a dic tatorship into the hands of the prole tariat . The government, with a chip on Its shoulder, proclaims that it will ruth lessly combat all attempts, to overturn it. Berlin newspapers are printing revo lutionary alms of their respective po litical parties for 1920. URGED TO BE TRFE II HATE "We have seen in 1919 what a king means to the fatherland," said the Zei- tung. '"The republican cannot dispute that our dead died v.ith God for the king and the fatherland. In these God-forsaken times we should conse crate ourselves to revive the good old rights and justice and the privileges to enter the king's service. We shall be just as true in hate as In love." The Frelheit calls Its followers to a class war during the coming year. "The revolution was ripe fruit and It fell Into the lap of "the German prole tariat two years before the proletariat could understand how to retain the re sults of the revolution and use it for the advancement of true Socialism. The revolution's benefits are In the bands of the reactionary bourgeois. They will bring the workman Into deeper servility and into the quagmire of capitalism. DECISIVE MONTHS COMIHG "What form the new revolution will take depends upon developments in this country and In foreign countries during the next few months. These months will 'be derisive ones. The way 1b open to the German proletariat for a new phase of revolutionary activity, making it possible to throw Into the scale the unbroken power of the Russian revolu tion with united German labor against the alliance of capital and the growing wave of counter revolution."

BOY CONFESSES TO POLICE OF DARING Edward Fischer Admits He En tered Sixth Street Store nad Held Up Owner With Flashlight At least five recent robberies have been cleared up in the arrest of Ed ward Fisher by Patrolman Meehan. according to the alleged confession Inspectors Hellyer and Leonard to day said they have secured from Fisher: When first arrested. Fisher, who is but 19, stoutly maintained his Innocence. but when the detectives piled up evidence against him he is said to have admitted several burglaries. One of the most daring was the daylight robbery of T Rosumy, 68 Sixth street, a few days ago. Fisher admits entering roe siore and holding up Rosumy with a flash light shaped like a gun and taking $4 from the cash drawer. Fisher was arrested while prowling In a room In the Y. M. C. A.

Slade charged his wife with abandonment DAYLGHT ROBBERY DECISION TO DROP Outcry Against Sentences Under Commission Method Gladstone's Action Recalled. By William H. Bra den Speetal Cable to TV Journal sad The Chietgs . Daily Notl (Copj-Hsht, 1020. by Chietco Daily Co.) Dublin, Jan. J.' The decision of the cabinet to abolish trial by Jury In certain districts of Ireland and commit prisoners charged with se rious offenses for trial by a commis sion of high court : judges merely repeats the experiment made by Gladstone nearly AO years ago, when faced wKh disturbances In Ireland. At that time one of the Judges named for the task resigned his office rath er than be; responsible for so grave a departure from constitutional us ages. It would now be easy to get three judges willing to perform this duty. It la expected that in naming them the government will not con fine Its choice to" members of the hisrh court bench appointed to it after ' their vigorous support of Sir Edward Carson. OUTCRIES ABE CERTAIN No matter who Is appointed there will be an outcry against sentences of death or penal servitude Imposed on prisoners without the protection of a Jury. Tet there are few candid men who would say that It would be possible for any three of the existing Irish Judges to agree In convicting an innocent man. But convictions so obtained will only further embitter the general public feel ing against the administration of law and the greatest trouble in Ireland is that public feeling already distrusts ths law. Gladstone having tried in turn every coercive device, eventually fell back on the policy of conciliation and reform. Sooner or later we shall get back to where he left off. For the moment Ireland Is under the autocratic control of a cavalry officer with no exDerlence In civil administra tion and whose good will is nullified by an obstinate belief that the Irish can be successfully governed by the meth ods of the barrack yard. This proposal to get Judges Instead of Juries to try prisoners for muraer ignores me fact th.t there are no prisoners to try. The assassins so far have succeeded In evad ing arrest There Is . not even well grounded suspicion as to the identity of the criminals. MOTOB TRAFFIC ROUTED! . The effect of the government order re quiring all owners and drivers of motor cars to apply for police permits has ben to clear the streets of all motor traffic. Four-fifths of the drivers re fused to aool.v tor permits and the re maining one-fifth were intimidated by the drivers' union. Every car seen on the streets has been picketed. If It has no nermlt. It Is held up by the police; if It has a permit, it is held up by the:j trades unionists. The stores are nm dered in the delivery of goods and even Dublin's great brewery, though It had police permits, was obliged to withdraw its lorries from the streets. The position of the doctors is quite ; amusing. The trades union Issued per- j mlts for their chauffeurs. These men ; refused to apply to the police, who do not like to be accused of Inhumanity by holding up the doctors. The only drivers on the streets are thus men who have permits from the body which Is on strike , against the very principle of permits. NEWSPAPERS WATCHED CLOSELY Over the newspapers a tight hand Is kept. They are forbidden to publish the j testimonyglven at a commission of In- ; qulry Into Irish Industrial resources, j though the witnesses and some cf the : members have no connection with poll- tics. The reason Is that the commission ; owes Its ..origin to the Dall Eireann or ; the republican parliament, and tKat as an association has been proclaimed illegal. The Gaelic leagrue .is also illegal by proclamation, yet the morning news n.ioers contain an advertisement for an inspector to continue Us work at a sal- . ary of 11200 a year. Perhaps as tie advertisement Is printed In the Irish , language. It is thought that the govern ment will not be able to read it. Though press comment is restricted, the news nanera devise various means of saying what thev want-to say The lavonie I method is to quote President Wilson, j PRESIDENT WILSOJt QUOTED The following extract is from a book written by Woodrow Wilson in 1889: "The, power of the community must i .i,hnri th law or the law wouia oe . , ..- ,aff(Mnv of the nniiiriMi. lnis Drinciyio is strikingly ' , 1 i. in Ireland The ttX L"r51JB consent m ii j r," 21, irn1and la.

Receipts for Year Entitle Baker to Better Postoffice Baker, Jan. S. Baker's new year pres ent was the announcement made Thurs day by Postmaster George Foster that the gross receipts at the local postoffice had passed the 40,0000 mark and thereby entitled Baker to a first class office. Baker has been rated as seoond class since' 1898. The reoelpts during 1819 were $41,000 after 17.1 per cent had been deducted from the $24,041 that was re ceived up to July 1, when the 8 oant postage rate waa abolished. Foster says that If the actual increase that was oc casioned by the t cent rate had been deducted last year, when the total re celpts were $47,250 Baker would have hen been rated as first class. The 1 excess was. In fact, less than the 17. per cent deduction required by the post office department. Baker's new rating will be effective July 1.
