disposition a little too much
to refer constantly to "all star

used deceitfully. I, . . i f
An all star cast is composed
of several players who have been
eploited separately to an extent
wh'ch makes each stand out. .;
! Lois Wilson has been the lead
ing woman 'of so many special
features of elaborate calibre that
cho is distinctly a 'betA in any
picture. Her work with the De
Milles alone has established her.
Jack Mulhall has done a doz
en things as big as "Molly-O"
in a brilliant career.

famous in "The 7 Conquering

ed the m'ser, Grandet. J

Twelve Rallots Taken J
Members of th Jury declare
that a majority of them wfre
ready to turn Warren loose, when
they left the court room, the
first ballot being eight for Ac
quittal and four for manslaught
er. Twelve ballots were taen
In all and towards . the last 1 11
were for acquittal and one ,'for
manslaughter. The last ballot
was taken shortly before K
oclock Friday evening. (
Public sentiment in Dallas,
while not favoring the killing
ot officers !or any other person,
seems to look with disfavor up
on the method employed by the
prohibition officers, and especial
ly that of Price in double-crossing
Warren for the purposj or
making a show with superior, ot
f leers. Sheriff John W. Orr, it
Is claimed; has been fearlessly
prosecuting bootleggers . jand
mor.rishlnors in Polk county and
has had little trouble in mak
ing arrnxts. So far no one has
been injured by his officers in
enforcing- the prohibition laws,i
it is pointed out.
If he had been called oij j the:
fatal evening to help in rounding
up the bootleggers at the dance;
at New Grand Ronde, many j are
of the opinion that no one would
have been Injured and the Etate
would not have been put to jthe
big expense of conducting two
murder trials. 1
Warren's Character Good
Parties who have known War
ren since be was a small jboy
declare thai he was a good
young man and not into j all
k'nds of trouble as had been
declared. He has on several! oc
casions assisted the deputy aher-
rif f of that town in preserving
order at the dances , and at cele
brations and his character ;wasj
such that demanded respect fromi
all classes of people on the ! res
ervation.
Warren has been a model pris
oner while confined in the Polk
county jail and his conduct is
highly commended by Sheriff
Orr and officers who came In
daily contact with him. 1 j
The week has been one oil in
tense excitement In Dallas jand
row . that the casej Is a thing ot
the past It appears -that, a heavy
load has been lifted from I the
shoulders of the peoDle.

An attack on the American
system of criminal latf- and the
declaration that Oregon's meth
ods of legal procedure are Obso
lete and should be changed was
made today at the final session
by Judge Walter Evans of the
state circuit court.
Especially in Oregon, the jurist
said, the law plays into the hands
of the criminal by its system of
investigations by the district at
torney, preliminary hearings by a
magistrate and indictment by the
grand jury before a lawbreaker
can be brought to the bar of jus
tit roses, geraniums, tulips, iris and
violets. .
Everything resembling a flow
er garden is there but the smell.
The flowers have no smell be
cause they -are made of paper.
The clever work "was done by Mrs.
T. L. Davidson, who made the en
tire "garden" out of paper mache.
She Is demonstrating the Denni
son products and Is offering sev
eral days free service to Salem
women who would learn the art.
