Case of Three Mm Arrested With
Mt. Angel Still Is Brought
Up; Fine Regarded as
Insufficient
Considerable comment has been
voiced by- local attorneys during
the past few days relative to the
sentence Imposed by Circuit Judge
L. H- McMahan upon the three
men recently convicted of posses
sion of the huge still Beizedon the
Joe Walker farm near Mt.- Angel
on April 28 of this year The men
were found guilty of the charge
' of "possession of a still not regis
tered by the county clerk," and
Owere sentenced by Judge McMa
han on Wednesday. Lester Dixon
and John: Andrews' were each
fined 1500, and Henry Johnson,
about 65 years of age, the third
; defendant, was fined $250
Judge McMahan. in imposing the
the sentence, said that the three
men had already been found guilty
of manufacture of liquor in the
same still mentioned in the indiet-
. ment, but that In the case in band
it was not necessary that the state
prove that the defendants had
manufactured liquor.
( "In tne present case," Judge
McMahan said, "they are charged
only with having an unregistered
still in their possession, a charge
that could be brought against any
man who might have in his pos
session an unregistered still for
extracting oil from mint, or for
distilling water only. The law no
where provides that in case the
unregistered still shall be used for
manufacturing liquor that the pen
alty shall be more severe than it
would be if it had been used for
distilling mint or water."
- It has been pointed out by sev-
. eral attorneys, however, that in
chapter SO, general laws of Ore
gon. 1923, section 6 expressly
states that, the possession of any
unregistered still is a crime, the
. punishment for which is contained

Mile and a Half in Snow
: Covered Streets
LONDON, Nov. 27. (By Asso
ciated Press). Throughout the
chill afternoon and far into the
gloomy London night, j Queen
Mother Alexandra's subjects, mov
ing slowly in a tremendous sor
rowing column, today and tonight
passed by the scores of thousands
into the dusk of Westminster
Abbey to pay their last respects at
the bier of their departed sover
eign.
The vast queue which stretched
for more than a mile outside the
abbey, furnished an Impressive
closing picture for this day of final
tribute. This morning through the
gently falling snow, the royal pro
cession, proceeding witnout sound
along the white carpeted streets,
followed the Queen Mother's cof
fin from St. James palace to the
abbey and after the solemn fu
neral ceremony was! held there the
public began its pilgrimage past
the bier.
An hour after the abbey was
opened to the people, the queue
was a mile and a half long with
people six abreast, extending back
from the doors through the
streets. Those who went directly
to the abbey to gain entrance had
to walk twenty minutes to Gros-
venor road to take their; places at
the end of the column, i
Officials of the abbey said late
tonight that if it were necessary
the. doors would remain open
throughout the night.
Early tomorrow morning a mo
tor hearse will take the queen
mother's body to Windsor, where
burial will take place at "11:30
o'clock.

LONDON, Nov. 27. (By Asso

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. (By
Associated Press.) With a wran
gle over evidence at the opening
the Mitchell court martial today
listened for four hours to prosecu
tion witnesses and then recessed
until Monday, closing after a row
between Brigadier General Ed
ward L. King, a member of the
tribunal, and Representative P.
R. Reid of Illinois, chief defense
counsel.
Reports that because of the
Reid-King incident, and the sharp
language used, the general would
resign or ask to he excused from
further duty on the court failed
tonight to bring any statement
from him. .He neither confirmed
nor deided the reports.
Mr. Reid, however, set at rest
other current talk to the effect
that he would use the incident as
the basis to a motion to have the
trial reheard by another tribunal
or would challenge" General King's
right to remain on the cout.
The row was precipitated during
Mr. Reid s cross examination of
Major Jarvis J. Bain, a general
staff officer and former assistant
umpire of the recent joint army
navy maneuvers in Hawaii.
The defense counsel had chang
ed the form of his question seve
ral times and had moved, appar
entljr unknowingly, close in front
of the bench where General King
was seated. Suddenly Reid ex
claimed: "No, this- is not damn
rot, and I object!"
"It is not damn rot in my mind,
and I certainly don't think it
should be so considered by any
member of this court."
Mr. Reid had heard and showed
his indignation over a remark by
General King-to another member
of the court. The general hasten
ed to apolqgize explaining that he
was "merely talking to another
member of the court."
i aon.t care who you were
talking to," Mr- Reid returned
hotly. "I heard what you said
and I want it in the record. This
may be very tedious to you, but
I. consider it very necessary to this
case to question the witness thor
oughly. I have a right to."
