Possibility that the new office.
building on the state , capitol
grounds may ; yet -become an ac
complished fact, under a bH .en
acted by the. 19 ?,7 state, legislature
was seen yesterday when the, a tat a
supreme court allowed rehearsing
In the ?two sult$ brought to en
Join the. state, board, pi control
from supplying the taoney, ;
The bjll as(passed by tie jegia-,
lature and signed by' the governor
provided that $600,000 for the
ne building, be .borrowed from
the funds of the state Industrial
accident commission.
Two Suit Attack .
Shortly after the bill went into
effect, and. before the. board of
control had time to take any def
inite steps in the matter, two suits
were brought simultaneously in
circuit court here to prevent the
project being carried out.
Although the two suits were
entirely separate, the complaints
were worded very similarly and
came from the same Portland law
office, giving rise to the belief
that the same parties were behind
both suits. One was instituted by
the Eastern and Western Lumber
company, v'ar employers, J and the
other by Peder Pederson as a ben
fkiary of the industrial accident
fund and a contributor to the
Claim Loan Illegal
The law under which the new
building was to be constructed
was attacked on several grounds,
strongest of which was believed
to be the contention that the state
constitution prohibits the state
borrowing over $50,000 unless au
thorized by the voters.
By a four to three decision the
supreme court ruled that the law
was unconstitutional when the
matter came before that body on
appeal from lower court. At
that time popular feeling was
strong for a rehearsing, the con
tention being that state finances
were considerably disorganized by
the ruling, and that the fact the
decision was far from unanimous
indicated definitely that there was
much law on the other side.
Other orders and opinions
handed down by the supreme
court here yesterday follow:

WARNING ISSUED
INFANT SICKNESS

GON", STRICKER REPORTS
Disease Seldom Fatal But Re
1 quires Careful Attention and
Treatment
PORTLAND, Sept. 27 (AP)
Warning that children should be
kept from persons who are ill and
that a strict quarantine t on visit
JngL. the sick should, be exercised
at. all times was issued today by
tr. Frederick D. Strieker, secre
aryot the,-state board of health,
because of the infantM .paralysis
epidemic, current, in the state.
Se'venty-twcv.cases . have been re
ported in Oregon and 82 in Cali
fornia. The disease seems to be
epidemic throughout the United
States, Dt. Strieker said.
; While the disease is not often
fatal, it requires the most thor
ough ( care. Dr. Strieker pointed
out, explaining that 65 Ter cent
of the cases are under five years
of age. 30 per cent between the
ages of five, and ten years, and
the. remaining five per cent un
der .20 years.
The cases, he said, should be
handled In the same way other
contagious diseases are handled.
Sick and, near-sick persons should
be; isolated until their ailments
are . known and children should be
kept from them. He urged, in
bulletins sent throughout the
State, that 'every available pre
caution should be taken." Sprink
ling and oiling of streets should
be thorough to lay all dust, he
said.
In calling for strict quarantine
of all sick. Dr. Strieker said that
quiet is the first essential in car
ing for the cases. Spinal punc
tures may be used and sometimes
a serum has value. He pointed
out that only by isolating those
who have had contact with the
paralysis cases and by keeping
children away from the sick can
the epidemic be stamped out.
BANKING BOARD RETURNS

City After Two Years
OREGONIAN: The state bank

cated in Portland for more than
two years will be moved back to
Salem, according to announcement
made by A. A. Schramm, state su
perintendent of banks, at a meet
ing of the state banking board
held here yesterday.
Because of the crowded condi
tion of the state capitol buildings
the banking department will be
located in a downtown office
structure. The transfer of the de
partment wll be made within the
next two weeks, Mr. Schramm
said.
The board discussed at length
the liquidation of a number of
banks which have been closed
during the past two years by or
der of the state superintendent of
banks. Tooze and Vinton. McMinn
ville attorneys, were employed to
represent the state in the liquida
tion of the Sheridan State bank
which closed its . doors recently.
Progress was reported by Mr.
Schramm In connection with the
liquidation of some of the other
banks.
32 POLICEMEN AT FAfR
No Chances Being Taken With
Ijaw Breakers this Season
With 32 officers employed at
various parts of the fair grounds,
fair officials are taking no
chances with the wrong-doers
this year. The crowds so far
have been unusually orderly, and
not a single arrest has been made.
Five young : boys were caught
sneaking over the fence yesterday
afternoon, but they were released
after they had been marched up
to the administration building
and made to purchase tickets.
A mounted policeman was as
signed to duty along the south
fence reeterdav. in addition to a
number of walking patrolmen. In
spite of their vigilance, however,
a number of boys have been
stealing in.
Aside from a few adjustments
of differences, the sole work of
the police court yesterday was to
await the parents of two lost chil
dren, and, treat a boil on the neck
of a little boy, who couldn't en
joy the fair otherwise.

ing In Car
CLEVELAAND, Sept. 27. If a
man and wife Want to take an au
tomobile spin and then park for
a time on Cleveland streets tor a
little spooning they have a legal
right to do it without any inter
ference from police.
This view was taken by a Jury
of six men and six women in com
mon pleas court today when they
awarded Mrs. Joseph Mack, $3,
675 damages against Police Ser
geant Frank Rolfs for false ar
rest. Mrs. Mack had asked for
$15,000 damages.
The police officer asserted
they were guilty of disorderly
conduct when he caught them
"petting" in the rear seat of their
automobile. He held them six
hours in Jail. When their case
came before the court it was dis
missed.
Testimony at the trial showed a
full moon was shining and the
air was balmy. Mr. and Mrs
Mack were returning home from
a picnic together, with three oth
er friends. Mack testified that
they could "not resist the roman
tic appeal of the moon.',' that
night. The petting was no
more than under way when a po
lice car drove up, one of the offi
cers demanding of Mack: "Who'se
dis dame?" Mack replied: "My
wife." But the police refused to
believe him and away the couple
went to the police station in a po-
lice patrol.
"I was hugging and kissing my
wife when arrested. Is there any
thing disorderly in" that?" Mack
testified. "Surely a man has a
right to make love to his wife on
a night like that was."
Mrs. Mack declared she saw in
the jury's verdict vindication for
married people who still are in

Marion County Slogans Depict
this Vicinity as Producing
Community Producing Many
Farm Products
Fourteen counties of Oregon es
tablished booths at the fair this
year and placed in them the best
of agricultural and industrial ex
hibits from their respective com
munities. For months previous
to the fair men worked gathering
the articles to be exhibited and
with the opening day all were
hard at work arranging these
choice articles in the most artistic
manner in the new pavilion. As
a result of this labor some of the
most attractive booths ever seen
at the fair are now open for in
spection. These boths- are so decorated
and arranged as to emphasize the
leading agricultural and industri
al activities of each county. The
designers broke away from the
old custom of building for compe
tition and have arranged exhibits
in a manner which creates great
er interest.
Yamhill Attracts
Upon entering the pavilion
where the county exhibits are
placed one is immediately attract
ed to the booth of Yamhill coun
ty. Artistic in arrangement it
pleases the' most critical. Grains

the rear walls of the booth, while
on the incline, a wonderful array
of walnuts, filberts, dried prunes
and apples has been placed. A
slogan in gold letters proclaims
the fact that "Yamhill county
produces 50 per cent of the wal
nuts grown in Oregon." In the
center and front of the booth
there is a rarge bin filled with
nuts. Over 1000 pounds of wal
nuts were used in making up the
display. . S. T. White, cdunty

TICKET SLICKER NABBED
T. L. Wilson Gets lO Days for
Promotion Scheme Here
T. L. Wilson- who gave his ad-
rirpss as Kansas City. Denver. Salt
Lake and "all points west," had
all the earmarks of a real clever
slicker" when he was arrested on
State street yesterday by Officer
James. Wilson was in the act of
trying to sell fake state fair tick
ets to the bystanders.
"This ticket will admit you to
each and every show on the
grounds, even the grandstand,"
said Wilson in his harrangue to
the people listening to him. Just
then Policeman James stepped up.
"How many of those have you
sold?" asked the officer.
"Seven hundred," replied Wil
son. -
At the oolice station Wilson's
pockets failed to reveal even a thin
dime. Apparently his sales pro
motion hadn't netted him a cent.
When taken before Police Judge
Poulsen, Wilson was still in a
care-free attitude and told the
Judge he didn't care what they did
with him.
"Then take ten days," said the
judge.

MANY PRESENT
AT HORSE SHOW
LARGER ATTENDANCE INDI
CATES GROWING INTEREST
Portland Damascus Company
Wins Four-in-Hand Draft
Team Contest
A crowd decidedly larger and
more enthusiastic than that of
the night preceding witnessed the
events of the second evening of
the annual horse show. Though
not spectacular, the program did
not lack in interest.
The opening attraction of the
evening was the four-in-hand
draft team competition. Portland
Damascus company won the first
'prize and McCroskey and White
of Garfield, Washington, winner
on Monday evening, received the
second award.
An event attracting much ad
miration and comment was the
single in harness, entering Aloma
and Paloma, the two small black
beauties owned by Mr. Aaron M.
Frank of Portland. Aloma. re
ceived the blue ribbon.
Mrs. Claude D. Starr's entry,
Kula Kula, won first award again
last evening in the ladies' hunters
competition.
Much delight was shown when
it was announced that Buckley
Vedie, one of the pair of fifty
thousand dollar horses imported
recently from England by Mr.
Frank, would be shown for the
first time Tuesday evening. This
splendid horse won the blue rib
bon in the ladies' singles event.
Perhaps the most deliberation
in selection of the winner among
the several magnificent entries
was displayed in the gentlemen's
five-gatted saddle horse competi
tion. The final decision was
awarded Robin Hood, a new en
try in the show this year, and one
which proved again last evening
to be the best saddle horse in the
ring.
Many were again surprised to
note that Shtikara. blue ribbon
winner for several years, was re
duced to - f ooTtta placa
ond time this year.
Matt Cohen of Los Angeles,
proved himself entirely worthy as
a judge ot horses and horseman
ship. His decisions accorded with
those of the public in every case.

STATE FAIR SIDELIGHTS
;
Conessionnaires opposite the
main entrance'of the new exhibit
building were inclined to close up
shop or go into the bridge build
ing business when a lake of wat
er, accumulated from rain drain
ing off the buildings, formed in
front of their establishmenta yes
terday. Many bridged the water
with planks.
About fifty patients of the Ore
gon state hospital and ; Sheridan
American Legion bandsmen were
almost lone occupants of the
grand stand yesterday afternoon.
The legionnaires declared "we've
been engaged to play and might
as well play here as anywhere,"
and the patients didn't know the
races were called off. The race
tracks were muddy very muddy.
A fire, which originated from
a short circuit, in a wire to an
O. A. C. fair grounds motion pic
ture booth, burned out several
yards of wire yesterday afternoon
before it was extinguished by fire
department chemicals. The dam
age was slight, but caused a bit of
excitement.
Seven year, old Dorothy Hagnaw
caused her parents two hours of
anxiety yesterday afternoon while
- 1
ene wanaerea about the fair
grounds, alone and lost. A kind
ly old lady brought her to the no-
lice station where she sat and sob
bed. She was emphatic in her be
lief that "her daddy would come
for her." which he did a half hour
later.
