MOORE DECLARES STATE
COURT TO BE IN ERROR
Supreme Court Hears Briefs
Drawn by Both Sides; ,
! Interest Aroused
WASHINGTON, March 16.
Oral argument in the two cases
challenging the constitutionality
of the Oregon compulsory educa
tion law were begun in the su
preme court . today and will be
concluded tomorrow. ' The law,
. which was adopted .by a referen
dum vote and would compel chil
dren between eight and 16, with
lew exceptions, to attend - public
- schools of the state after Septem
U ber, 192 6 came to the highest
court on an appeal from a deci
sion of the federal district court of
Oregon enjoining its enforcement
pending a final decision on the
" right of states to enforce such
legislation. V
i School Counsel I retard
The argument was opened by
counsel for the society of the sis
ters of the Holy Names of Jesus
and Mary, which operates paroch
ial schools, and the Hill Military
academy. They contend the new
law would denrive narochial and
private schools of rights guaran
teed by the state and federal con
stitutions which the states had
, recognized in charters incorporat
ing these schools. ! ,
They also argued that the law
would deprive children of useful
i knowledge, would prevent teach
i ers in these schools from earning
their livelihood In the lawful oc-
cupation in which . they, are now
engaged, and would abridge the
right of parents in Oregon to send
their children to schools In other
states. . " '
Says Court In Error
Speaking for the state, Willis S.
Moore, assistant attorney general
of Oregon, insisted the lavrf was
constitutional and that the 'lower
court was in error in holding it
deprived those attacking , it of
their property without due process
of law, or that it took away from
parents, children or teachers any
of their rights or liberties guaran
teed by the constitution.
As far as religious education
was concerned, Mr. Moore assert
ed the new law permitted children
attending public schools to be ab
sent a specified number of hours
each week for this purpose,, and it
would not apply to abnormally or
physically defective children or to
those living .at a. great distance
from a "public 'y school, unless the
state furnished, transportation, nor
to those instructed at home by
i private tutors. The latter would
be required; however, to stand? a
state, examination every, .three
months to determine whether they
were1 keeping up in their studies.
and if 'found below standard
would be required to attend public
schools.
There could be no question of
the power of a state to enact and

Remains of Charles Purcell,
Drowned on January
31, Recovered
The body of i Charles Purcell,
who was drowned January 31,
when a motorboat in which l he
was riding hit a snag and sank,
was found at about 9:30 o'clock
Sunday morningrby relatives who
have been patroling the river since
the accident. T hi
The body had caught on a snag
with only the feet protruding from
the water and was found near the
island, not 200 yards from where
the boat foundered.; The body
was found by Turcelfs two uncles,
Newton S. Nave and Sv E. Taylor.
,The accident: occurred; during
the period of high water. I Purcell
and a companion, P. L. Turnidge,
were comings down the ; river at
about 8 o'clock In the evening
from Clear lake, where they had
been engaged in towing logs.
When opposite West Salem ; the
motorboat struck a snag, : sinking
immediately and throwing ; the
two occupants into the swift cur
rent. Both Purcell and Turnidge
were good swimmers, and made
for the west shore, Turnidge call
ing for his companion to follow
him. It is believed that in the
darkness, and on account of the
swollen condition of the river,
Purcell caught j on a cable and
was unable to recover himself.
Turnidge, however, reached : the
river bank'and was rescued by W.
B. Gerth after he had been cling
ing to some willow branches for
nearly 20 minutes. No iraee was
found of Purcell, although a
search was made immediately, and
was not terminated until last Sun

to be ' attorney' general ' was re
jected for, a .second time today. by
the senate, 46 to, .3 9, s compared
to the 40-40 tie a week; ago.
Immediately there axose a ques- .
tion .whether1 Mr. Warren would,
accept a recess appointment which
President Coolidge announced last
Saturday would be offered to him
in the event the senate took such.
action.'
Neither the executive nor Mr.
Warren made any statement. See-.
retary Sanders' said Mr. Coolidge
had the situation "under advise
ment," aad Senator Curtis of,
Kansas, the republican leader who
with : Senator Butler - of Massa
chusetts carried word ' of the sen
ate i action to the White House,
declared the president would make
known his position tomorrow.
May Refuse Position
No official would intimate
whether - these ' indications . pointed
to a refusal by Mr. Warren to ae-.
cept a recess appointment or
would say whether Mr. Coolidge
had under . advisement . the sub
mission of a new nomination tomorrow-
or at some later date.
Meanwhile ""the senate is held In.
special session. '
Leaders of the opposition to Mr.'
Warren declared it would be so
held for some time unless Mr.
Coolidge submitted another name.
Until, the senate adjourns, a re
cess appointment cannot be made.
The vote came after four hours
of fiery debate before crowds that
jammed the galleries and extend
ed in long lines through the corri
dors. Presentation of the case of i
Mr. Warren -and, of the president:
rested largely with republicans of, '

- Although the only question in

would be rejected, the calling-of
the roll was ' followed with even
