ATTORNEYS SEEK CHANGE IN LAWS AMENDMENT WOULD SPEED UP WORK OP COURTS Prohibition Enforcement Given Place . in Round Table Discussion n PORTLAND, Dec. 16. (AP) Submission to the voters of. Ore con of a constitutional amendment providing that persons charged with criminal offenses and who wish to plead, guilty may appear in circuit court and do so, will be asked of the next legislature by the Oregon District Attorneys' association. Such an amendment would make it unnecessary to sub mit to' grand juries ' the cases against defendants who wish to plead guilty. This was decided upon today when the district attorneys of Ore gon met here in their annual ses sion at the court house. The leg islature will be asked to submit this amendment to the vote of the people for the benefit of counties over the state where the grand jury is not in session throughout the year. Methods used id enforcing the prohibition laws occupied a prom inent part of the round table dis cussions, as did discussions cov ering the Issuance of fictitious checks.: The meeting was the first of a three day ession. The con ference will be concluded Satur day afternoon with the election of officers for the ensuing year. The annual banquet will bo held to morrow night. John L.

Charged by Senator OIL CONTRACTS UPHELD Doheny's One Million Dollar Loan to Secretary of Interior Is Pivotal Point in Final Deliberations WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. (By AP.)- The Fall-Doheny oil con spiracy acquittal today stirred Senator Heflin, democrat, Ala bama, to a denunciatory speech of unusual bitterness, in which he told the senate his opinion of the defendants, the judge, and the jury. It was his belief, he said, that former Interior Secretary Fall would not have gone to trial un less there had been an "arrange ment" before hand for either an acquittal or(a mistrial. He added that it also was his opinion that former Attorney General Daugher ty, recently tried on a conspiracy charge in New Yprk and now awaiting retrial after a jury dis agreement, would no have gone into court "unless he knew some body on the jury would hang there until doomsday or acquit him or make a mistrial." He likewise declared that neith er cases should have gone to trial before a judge appointed by Hard ing's administration, repeated his previous charge that Daugherty's friend, Jess Smith, was murdered and did not commit suicide; and paid his respects in passing to the republican party and the admin istrations of 'Presidents Harding and Coolidge. The only reply that came from any senator was a request by Chairman Warren of the appropri ations committee, that the Ala baman postpone the rest of bis speech until some other time so the senate could proceed with its regular business, and a short state ment by Senator Walsh of Mon tana, prosecutor of the oil com mittee, who said he could see no (Continnad on pag S.)
