Oregon probably will never have a sertous earthquake but is an island in a sea of disturbance to the north and south of it, said Dr. E. T. Hodge, of the Univer sity of Oregon. For that reason he said, Oregon is the ideal situa tion for a seismograph station be cause it would be able to record the quake of the disturbed areas of California, where he predicted there would be a serious earth quake annually for the next 5,000 yaars, and Alaska, British Colum bia and Washington which he said, were iln the same disturbed condition. Mrs. Kate W. Jame son, dean of women at Oregon ag ricultural college said most -of the trouble with the flapper was the fart that the old generation did not understand her and that, with the new freedom of women, un derstandintr is the only basis for control.

Kelly yesterday afternoon, directing Dr. E. Lee Steiner, superintendent of the Oregon state hospital,, to present 'Grant Mann, an Inmate of the asylum, in the circuit court rooms on July 27, and show why he is being held at the state hos pital. Attorneys for J. O. Mann filed the proceedings, stating that Grant Mann is not insane, and that he was incarcerated in the asylum without due process of law. Grant Mann is not Insane, the complaint states. "He is unlaw fully imprisoned and restrained in the Oregon state hospital. He is not under sentence or judgment of any competent civil or criminal court. His committment order was made and entered without due process of law." An attack Is made upon the statutes of the state of Oregon, which if upheld, will, effect the legality of the commitments of all the inmates of both insane asylums in the state. "The state of Oregon, the paper states, in providing for the examination and committment of Insane persons, denies due process of law, and no provision Is made for notice to the person charged, or for an oppor tunity on the part of the accused to be heard by himself or counsel. or enter any evidence on his own behalf."; Another point raised by the at torneys is that In the orders ls- Bued by the state, each person is committed for an indefinite and indeterminate period, "limited only by j the judgment, whim, or caprice of the superintendent." This, they maUtain, constitutes an illegal order. . ELKS j LEAVE FOR HOME ! . " , I , , . ... PROTEST MADE OYER AWARD ING OF DRILL PRIZES ! PORTLAND.

Trial Wni be Much Shortened by Elimination; May Reach Jnry by Tucnday of Next Week ; DAYTON, Tenn.. July 17. (By Associated Press.) The briefest session yet of the court trying the Scopes case" today brought the stormiest hour of the .trial and forecast the end. of the "evolution test" soon. Judge John T. Raulston. by ex cluding proposed testimony from an array of scientists shortened the trial by days. The court's de cision aroused the ire of attorneys for the defense, sharp words be- ing directed at the court session after he had read his opinion. With their experts precluded from taking the witness stand, the defense will place affidavits in the record setting forth what the zoo logists, biologists, pathologists and others would have said had they been allowed to speak. To permit the preparation of these state ments adjournment was ordered until Monday morning. The defense was not expected to: offer other witnesses, and after filing of the scientific statements, arguments would be in order. Varying estimates were made of the time required for speech mak ing, but it was considered prob able that they would.be concluded in two days and the case given to the Jury. Tuesday. v Today's session was devoted to the reading of the judicial decree against occupancy of the witness stand by scientists and.sharp lan guage by attorneys. The first flare-up from the defense table came immediately after' the opin ion was read when Arthur Gar field Hayes asked that an excep tion be noted, adding: 'It is contrary to every element of Anglo-Saxon procedure and jurisprudence to refuse to permit? evidence as to what evolution is and what it means, and what thf Bible is and. what it means." Attorney General Stewart gain ed the courtroom floor as soon a Mr. Hayes had stated his exeep tion to say -that in the name ot the statehe objected to the man ' ner in which the defense exception was stated. He considered it a reflection on the court. "Well It doesn't hurt this court, said Judge Raulston. "I think there is no danger of it hurting the court." replied the attorney general. , "There Is no danger of it hurting us." was Mr. Darrow's contribution. "No, yon are already hurt as much as yon can be hurt," from Stewart. "Don't worry about us." replied Darrow. "The state of Tennessee does not rule the world yet. With the hope of enlightening the court as a whole, I want to say that the scientists probably will not cor rect the words 'descent of man, and I want to explain what de scent means, as starting with a low form of Ufa. and finally reach ing man." "We all have dictionaries." said Stewart. ' ;. "I don't think ' the court has one." rejoined Darrow. ; Judge Raulston. in his opinion, ruling the experts out, had said: "I desire -to suggest that I be lieve evolutionists should at least show man the consideration to substitute the word 'ascend for 'descend.
