Astoria, Or., Aug. 20. Dismissing the
demurrer entered by the . state in , the
case in which a temporary injunction
was granted by Judge Eakin, preventing
Oregon - fish wardens from arresting
purse seiners bring fish caught during
the Sunday closed period into the' Co
lumbia river for .sale," Judge Coke of
Marshfield today declined to dismiss the
temporary injunction granted by Judge
Eakin. The state was given 20 days in
whloh to file answer.'
While not settling the case the decision
Is a temporary victory for the purse
seiners. It will allow them to fish dur
ing the present week-end. The ruling
made no attempt To determine the con
stitutionality of the law, which was at
tacked by the purse seiners, and merely
denies the state's request to suspend the
temporary injunction,:
' The fight against the parse seiners
, end the advantage they have gained in
the courts will be continuedi, after tha
fishing' season has closed Thursday and
the final legal decisions on the present
law may not be expected before winter.
In the case of the purse seiners arrested
by the fish, wardens for bringing fish
caught outside of Oregon waters into
this state for sale, though the fishermen
were not possessed of licenses to fish in
Oregon water. Judge Coke ruled that the
men had violated no law and that they
hould be released and their bond money
two cases were filed by mail from Marsh
field and were received by the county
clerk today.

but. as . the railroader looked at that
watch, it may not be too much to assume
that the little creek murmured, ,I1I get
you. Dr. Brumfield, I'll, get you." with
a little extra conviction.
At 2:30 o'clock Brumfield had covered
the return- 22 miles and was working on
a. patient in his office 'lh the Perkins
building on the main street of Rosebarg.
It Is worthy of note .that, both going
and returning, the dentist had passed the
cabin where his prospective victim
lived. Did he Stop there?. Was it even
perhaps the spot where the ' box was
packed? These questions remain to be
answered " -: '!

Now the record emerges from even
partial mystery and becomes - extraor
dinarily clear. j
From 2:30 to 6 o'clock, ! Brumfield
worked on patients. These patients
have testified to a coroner's jury that
they noticed nothing unusual . in his ac
tions. Shortly after 6, he went out and
ate a dish of ice cream. His movements
from then until 7Jhave been traced and
found casual. At ? he went back to his
Office and worked on some more pa
tients..- At 8 :30 o'clock he " came out
with three bundles under his arm, rode
down in the elevator and got his car.
"Surely a sane man would not have
gone -calmly about his business in this
way," say , Brumfield's adherents.
OTHER SIDE DIFFERS
"Brumfield was acting his part, cal
culating every move toward the end that
no suspicion except that of ' accident
should be entertained toward the man

OF HIS FRIENDS
(Continued From Fut One)
"George." the "Doc" says. "I'm mitrfaty
glad to see you back, mighty glad. You
mightn't believe it, but I consider you
one of the best friends -I've got." and
ueorge grins.
That's the kind of a man "Doc" is
hail fellow well met with everybody,
no false pride about him. calls 'em by
the first name, willing they should call
him by his, just one of the boys.
In the old days they say "Doc" wasn't
that way. : Some persons even declare
that he was accustomed to pass up good
fellows like Sam and George with a very
perrunctory nod.: But "Doc" has seen
the light Adversity has brought . Its
usual miracle, s-and humanity blooms
generously in his heart.
SPIRIT IS INFECTIOUS
As for George and Sam, well, they just
naturally can't be expected to treat
"Doc", like, an ordinary criminal, Of
course, they had to hunt him up when
they round another man under the
Doc's" automobile, with the "Doc's"
clothes on and a couple of bullet holes
through his back, but that's no reason
why they should be disagreeable about it.
fSam," Qeorge says, "I don't believe
it would be a good Idea' to put Doc in
the regular bull pen. I guess we'd bet
ter fix him up in the woman's Quar
ters on the second floor."
r So "Doc" gets an airy apartment In
stead of a'celL ' . - ,
"Doc's" wife, comes to visit him, of
course. If jail custom' were strictly fol
lowed, she would be watched to see that
she didn't pass "Doc" a cold chisel, or
an automatic 'pistol; 'either of which
would be juite sufficient to effect his
deliverance from' present surroundings.
LIKE HOME FOR "DOC"
But, of course, in the case of "Doc"
that would be ridiculous. : So Sam calls
Percy over and says : "Percy, you can
just shut the door and leave them in
there together." -So "Doc" and "Mra.
Doc" are allowed to chat in the strictest
seclusion for--well, yesterday, it was for
about eight hours.
Of course. If the "Doc" were mean
enough he could take that occasion to
patch up some holes in a defense which
on casual inspection appears- to need

patching rather badly, but of course
"Doc" wouldn't.
i"Why, Sam," "Doc" himself assured
the sheriff at the conclusion of yester
day's conversation, "we didn't talk about
a thing1 except the children and well.
some more personal matters. Not
thing."
It's been that way ever since Sam and
Percy went up to Calgary and got "Doc.
Percy Is Percy Webb, a deputy sheriff.
' "What does he say about the murder?"
an inquisitive outsider asked Sam when
the party arrived in' Oregon. "Well,
said Sam, "we haven't asked him much
about that. It seems to bother him."
George said he felt the same way
about it. So "Doc" has completely es
caped any shadow of the rigorous ques
tioning -which is usually the lot of per
sons charged with murder.
Of course, it is possible that under
such questioning, the "Doc" would have
told who the woman was who bought
a pink skirt for him the morning of the
murder, and why he shipped that pink
skirt to himself, and how a couple of
bullets from his rifle strayed Into Dennis
Russell's body, and why he lent the late
Mr. Russell his clothes just before that
gentleman chose to perish beneath his
automobile, and a lot of other things
which the Jury will want to know when
the case comes up for trial. But then
that would get the "Doc" all het up, and
anyway, George says he's got more than
enough- evidence to convict.
MAT 3f AKE IT HOT TOR "DOC- -The
"Doc" is going to get his all right.
George says. . He was -a good friend of
"Doc." They are even brother Elks. But
that isn't going to swerve George not
a particle.- .. '
"Justice Is goinff to be done." George
says, "you can count on that."
They are good people, are George and
Sam. Maybe they are a little better to
"Doc" than they would be to the aver
age accused murderer say to defunct
Mr. Russell If matters were reversed
but not so very much better. After all
they possibly reason, "Doc" isnt such a
bad guy. - He did let himself get caught

which apparently Is to go to George
U. Piper. This- prire, obviously, was
bestowed on the insistence of Senator
Stanfield. The lukewarm relations that
existed between Stanfield and the Re
publican organization during the cam
paign are recent history. Thus when
Piper on buttonholing visitors at - the
headquarters of the -Harding and Cool-
idge club over which he presided In
the Hotel Portland would put a word
in for Stanfield, he was bound to in
gratiate himself with the now senator.
This service doubtless had weight with
Stanfield regardless of any other con
siderations that might have appealed to
his fancy.
But Piper gets a Job and that Is
about all. He will enter a citadel of

"C0MW10D1TY" TERM
APPLIED TO THE FAIR
SEX IN ENGLAND
Sociologist Says if Surplus of
Women v Continues Civilization
.- .
Will Be Menaced by Disaster.
London, Aug. 20. L N. S.) Woman
must be regarded as any other market
commodity butter, eggs, wheat, cotton
or stocks and bonds.
Her "worth" In society the respect
man has for her depends exactly upon
the demand, just as the law- of - supply
and demand governs the price of butter
and eggs. If the present surplus of un
married - women, resulting from the
World war, continues her value will de
cline and civilization will be threatened
with disaster.
In this exceedingly blunt manner Pro
fessor Patrick Geddes. eminent English
sociologist, deals with the problem of
what to do with the 10,000,000 "surplus
women of Europe, a problem that has
stirred the minds of leading French and
German sociologists ever since the after
war census statistis showed its gravity.
WHE2C CITIxllATIok is HIGH
"Civilization ' Is high, or low according
as women are at a premium or at a dis
count," says Professor Geddes. "In the
present circumstances . our one hope Is
America. There women are not so numer
ous. There Is keen competition for them
and they choose their own husbands.
They are more highly respected, and If
they retain that respect they will make
their Influence felt In Europe, despite
the seemingly hopeless . situation of
many -women here." . .
EMPLOYMENT SUGGESTED
Other English social workers generally
reflect Professor Geddes' views. With
one accord they reject the suggestion
by a French writer that European na
tions should save their unmarriageable
daughters by legalising polygamy.
"The gravest and most urgent need of
our times Is to give the women who can
marry something else to fill up their
lives." says Miss Lillian Barker director
of a women's employment and . training.
There are hundreds of thousands of
women who cannot marry and who, un
less they are helped, cannot get a job.

This Is the Reason:
Some furnaces are built of cast iron with the sections bolted, and
others of steel with the sections riveted.
Cast iron and steel furnaces will expand as they become heated, and
when cooling contract. Bolts and rivets expand . to the farthest point.
and as there is never any contraction in the bolts and rivets when the
furnace cools off. eventually the joints become loose and permit leakage
of smoke and gas Into your home. This has always been the most
objectionable feature of the warm-air heating system, and in this respect
the faults of a pipe furnace are also the faults of the pipeless.
The manufacturers of the International Furnaces overcome the obec
tionable features of gas and smoke leakage by constructing their furnaces
of cast Iron throughput, eiiminattrg boils and rivets by the use oi cored
castings, which give absolute assurance for all. time to come that your
furnace will never leak smoke or gas. j
