George Parfish. city health of ficer, with wilfully violating the cy health ordinance by failing to report " - a case of smallpox. Parrish claimed 'Bobby Bush had smallpox on Noj ; Vember IX. After hearing the evi dence and; the arguments of Deputy City Attorney Fred 8tadter and Wil son T. Hume, Judge Eoisman an nounced that he would announce tils verdict neit Wednesday morn , lag at 11 o'clock. BESEMBLES KEJQHBOSHOOS BOW The case w,as one of the most hotly contested tried recently In the police court. At times it developed the propor tions of a small neighborhood quarrel, six or seven mothers taking the stand against Bosh. The women attempted to v. .testify that their children had contracted smallpox by playing with Bobby at ' "school, but the court ruled out this tes timony upon the objection of Hume. . L - The city health officer and his assist ant Dr. John Abele. testified that. -their -opinion, Bobby had smallpox No November 23. Parrish said he dated the complaint November 11, because he be lieved this the approximate date the dls . ease started. Miss Christine Phelps, teacher at the Alameda school, In whose room Bobby Is a pupil, was probably the most im- ! portent witness In the trial, because Dr. 1 ' Parrish announced from the witness ' - stand that he would lay the evidence of the trial before the school board, should Bush 4e convicted. Miss Phelps textl- fled that she noticed a rush on Bobby's face ob Friday and suggested that he remain at noroe, but that he returned to . school the following Monday without a blemish on his face. MOTHER GIVES TESTIMONY Mrs. M. E. Sherman, 952 Alameda drive, testified that she saw Bobby dur ing the early part of November, on hie way home from school with other chil dren and that he had many black marks or pimples on his face. Mrs. Sherman's beys became ill with smallpox November i, she said. Little Betty and Bobby Magulre, 900 East Thirty-second street north, were also Introduced by the city. . Bobby testified that he had noticed small pimples on Bobby Bush's face. B. F. Boynton of the P. K., U & P. company was called by the defendant He said be had occasionally seen pimples on the face of the Bush boy and in his : opinion thought him merely suffering from a little stomach trouble. Other friends and neighbors of the family were 'called and In almost every case testified that Bobby's face was broken out be tween November 11 and 23. All stated. ' however, that they did not believe the rask to be anything serious, branding It niortly as a temporary disorder. Hry ACCUSES PAKBISH In kls argument, Hume charged Par rish with making the entire matter a re ligious issue. He charged Parrish with trying to dictate the laws of the city, pointing to recent health measures ; parfsed by the council upon the recom mendation of Parrish. Hume said the boy did not have smallpox on the date . mentioned In the complaint, and that, therefore, the -father did not violate any Jaw by failing to report a smallpox case. Deputy City Attorney Stadter called Parrish to the stand again to refute the , argument of Hume. Parrish dented that . the case waa prompted by any desire to jT l emu- (J MACHfiies- .

The reckless automobile drivers can be removed from the streets, but that will not halt accidents as long as pedestrians star-gaze across Intersec tions and dream across the' middle of the block. ' 1 Pedestrians have rights on the streets. And automobiles also have rights. Both have places in the traffic world. The state and city have regulated automo biles. Rules have been laid down for pedestrians. Automobile drivers can meet, with regulations, but pedestrians will continue to be run down until they recognize-their obligations and comply therewith. - Here are some antics of pedestrians: A man walked rapidly out of the Allsky building, his raind on something other than safety. Without going to the corner or looking in either direction, he proceeded directly across the street un til he walked directly into the side of a passing streetcar and was thrown to the pavement. He then wanted to sue the car company for damages. A pedestrian was proceeding rather slowly across Twelfth and Burnslde, glancing in every direction except the line of traffic. A motorcycle started to pass him. He stepped backward. The machine turned. He turned. It finally went clear around him and the rider dis mounted. "What are you trying to do?" he asked, heatedly. "Why, I am looking for my wife, was the reply. A streetcar was moving slowly ahead at First and Alder, a pedestrian crossing toward the car, but looking elsewhere, stumbled on the fender and fell on it. At Sixth and Washington last week a woman walked directly In front of an automobile, although the semaphore sig nalled for the machine to proceed. The driver slrened and stopped. The woman Jumped, elevated her nose, threw her head back, stamped one foot and refused to move for several seconds. The auto mobile had no business there, she thought. A report at the police station shows that a woman was struck down at Sixty sixth and Sandy Wednesday under the following circumstances : She was walking across 'the street, looked in her purse and slowed down. An automobile honked to warn her of Its presence. Without looking, 'she backed Into the rear fender of the ma chine. Automobiles often way, It seems. are In the At Third and Alder a nurse was cross ing with a baby buggy. She was just outside the intersection and paying no heed to traffic. The bell of a car, slow ing for the stop, clanged. The nurse screamed and dropped the carriage in the center of the track. Fortunately, the car was stopped. This Is the experience of a driver last week between Sixth and Stark and Broadway and Stark: He waa proceeding west on Stark. At Sixth an elderly man walked- in front of the machine, dodged backward and then dashed forward again. Before the ma chine crossed the Intersection an acci dent was narrowly averted with two men Jaywalking with their backs to traffic In the center of the next block a woman, with her back to the car, walked diagonally across the street from behind a parked automobile, and at the next corner a man walked from behind a streetcar Into the hood of the automobile as it waited for the car to proceed. An automobile doesn't always hav to be in motion to collide with pedestrians. They will walk on the car at times. If it is stationary. BETWEEN U. S. AND STATE DRY LAWS Test Case Brought in Portland Court to 'Settle Finally the Moot Question of Jurisdiction. Claims of conflicting Jurisdiction between the federal and state laws on . prohibition will be entered be fore District Judge Hawkins Mon day by Attorney Paul Long, who is defending two alleged bootleggers. The contention of Long will be to the effect that the constitutional amendment establishing prohibition supersedes the state law on the matter, and that a per son can no longer be prosecuted under the Oregon law at least, not while he Is standing trial under the federal law aiso. various citations or law, includ ing the white slave enactment anti trust laws and others will be brought forward by Long In his effort to prove that the state no longer has Jurisdiction over a matter wherein the federal gov ernment has legislated. VO CONFLICT, IS COXTESDED The chief argument of Earl Bernard, deputy district attorney, who will ap pear for the state, is expected to be that section of the national prohibition amendment to the constitution which states explicitly that the various states may pass concurrent laws to aid in the enforcement of the act According to Deputy District Attorney Bernard, the provision was put in for the express purpose of meeting such contingencies as the one raised by Long. Another point on which Long is ex pected to argue Is that, when a man Is proa ecu ted for - the same offense tinder both the state and. federal laws he 4s oeing piacea in jeopardy twice for the same offense, which, of course, is un constitutional. However. Bernard , can come back at this argument with the recital of various cases wherein a man has been tried In both federal and state courts for the same crime. . It Is expected that whichever war Judge Hawkins decides, the case will be carried Into a higher court, so that It may be considered as a test ease and a definite decision ts govern la all auch matters established, j . OVER 5000 ffi COMMUNITY Women in Move to Kestore Birtnplace Of Theo. Eoosevelt Restoration of the birthplace or Theo dore Roosevelt In New York city Is the purpose of the Woman's Roosevelt Me morial association, organised almost Im mediately after the colonel's death, a statement of which has been received by Mrs. A. W. Nicholson of Portland, Or., chairman of the association. The Woman's Roosevelt Memorial as sociation has been confused with the Roosevelt Memorial association, formed at a later date, with which it Is in sym pathy bat from which It. is entirely sep arate and distinct The American peo ple and especially the women will be asked for funds to complete tha work of rebuilding and refurnishing the struc tures as they originally stood on the site cf his birthplace which has already been purchased, and to provide for their up keep and operation. The movement has been likened to the restoration of Mount Vernon and of Lincoln's birthplace at Hodgenvllle, Ky. Sandy Lot Sells for $500,000 Chicago, Jan. 24. (U. P.) A sandy lot which sold for the sura of $263 here June 21, 1139, again figured in a trans action here today. The amount this time was $500,000, The lot is near the center of the downtown district SERVICE IH CITY - Trinity Parish House Has Program to Get Respectable Young Men and Women Acquainted. "A conservative estimate - places the number : of girls and young women in Portland without homes and home privileges anal opportuni ties at 6000 and what Community Service wants to do is to meet the right kind of young men and to have the right kind Of a good time," said Miss Kathleen Cockburn, who Is in charge of the girls work of the newly organized Community Servloe of Portland. These girls are living In rooming houses, boarding bouses and hall bed rooms of small hotels with no facilities for entertaining their friends and what Is still worse with no opportunity for making the right kind of friends, par ticularly of meeting the right kind of young men. And I might add right here that young men are at a loss to know how to meet the right kind of girls; many of them have asked me to help to meet some nice girts. These splendid young men are the ones that we are Inviting to our parties and they are so pleased that they Invariably ask for a second invitation. "The third of our series of Friday evening parties at Trinity Parish House will take place this week, with the girls from Olds, Wartman : King and Lip-man-Wolfe as the hostesses. Excellent music for dancing is erovlded inr affairs, refreshments are served and the young people nave perfectly splendid' tunes. At the first of these parties the young women employed by the hi. wood campany were hostesses and Umt week the young women who, live at th Martha Washington hotel were hostesses. , wur program or recreation and edu cation includea claasea In tnunlo, art drama, Americanization, dancing, cur rent events, public speaking, etc. In the spring hiking parties will be arpan laed and there will be tennis, ball games and Swimming. Where organised work already exists we are cooperating as we have no desire to usurp the rights of others or to overlap. A membership campaign Is being In augurated in the hope of securing the , moral support and Interest as well as tne financial backing of at least 6000 Portland people. T. H. Joyce Is chair man of this co mm it tea. Active member- 9 ships are $1; contributing memberships are $10; supporting memberships are $25 and sustaining memberships eiej $100. Kerr Baby Home Is Donated New Site Six lots on East Twenty-second street Just off Sandy boulevard, have been acquired by Alexander 11. Kerr and will be donated by him as a site for a new building for the Albertlna Kerr Baby Home. Plans for the new structure are being prepared and build lng will be started at an early date.

COATS AT THE SAME PRICE COATS AT $34.65 (Vwa -- SL Exclusive Kappenheimer House in Portland MORRISON at FOURTH New Naturalization Proceedings Adopted By Circuit Judges New regulations governing naturali sation proceedings were adopted Sat urday by the seven Multnomah county circuit judges. The new set of rules will materially reduce the time neces sary to devote to each candidate, and It is probable that the judges will be enabled to formally admit an alien to citizenship in five minutes, compared to the 30 or 40 minutes previously required. This will not mean, however, that those seeking to become citizens will be able to escape any of the former re quirements. Kach candidate must pre- . sent himself to the naturalization ex aminer at room 831, new postofflce . buIMing, to submit to a thorough ex ! ajnination as to his qualifications for ; citizenship. This was formerly con ', ducted An court and consumed a vast amount of time. j With his certificate of fitness, he must j then file his final petition for naturali zation at the county clerk's office. All i those who have previously filed their j petitions must also submit themselves for examination.
