Upton Leads Fight for "Wide
Open Spaces", Moser Is
Strongest Advocate
Members . of the Multnomah
eoonty delegation came la for -a
coring fa the senate Monday . In
- connection with a bill Introduced
by Senators Moner. Corbett. and
Eddy proTtdlnr that card table
ball not be allowed In pool ana
billiard halls.
' " Senator Upton, led (he Rght for
' - th minority renort which was
' adopted by a Tote of 19 to 11.
"This bill would- work all rlht
In Portland." said Senator. Upton.
. but It has.no place lnthe wM
open spaces-of eastern Oregon, u
. AvMa. h card tables shall not
be allowed In billiard .and pool
rooms, but exempts from ooera
tion of the act the Young Men's
Christian association, fraternal or
ganizations and . numerous duos.
I cannot see any difference in a
person playing cards in a pool and
Millard hall than in a place con
ffned exclusively to eard tabler.
J-:' Thfr bill is unfair, discriminates
ralnst a large number of person?
-and should te defeated."
Portland Ordinance Plans
Senator Mo?er declared that th
. ritr of Portland already was ooer
- atlnr under an ordinance which
prohibits card tables in pool and
i billiard halls, and that the law
" had proved very successful.
- . -The purpose of this bill." said
' lfoser. "is to do away with gam
! bl!n." Senator Moser said the bill
bad received the Indorsement of
wouens organizations.
' v "TMs'bill is the kingpin of con
structive foolishness." interposed
1 Senator Strayer. "It it is a good
thing for Portland let them keep
t It. but don't try to poke it down
n- throats. I represent the great
mast of citizens known as pinochle
ptavers and rubbernecks.; I am
against this bill tor the reason
that it would harass the pinochle
plaver. This bill will not remedy
anything. There are not enough
policemen In the United States to
prevent the boys from doing the
things you are complaining
i about" .
PROBE OIL LEASE?
) " WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. '
I (AP)' The supreme eour,t today
! gave the government an unob
tructed course for it to determine
whether the Standard Oil conV
pany of California holds !a valW
O title to valuable oil lands in Kerr
county. Calif., embraced! withir
' the Elk Hilla Naval Oil reserve.
The final obstacle in the gov:
mmenfs pathway was removed
ioday by the court's refusal to re
consider its recent decision which
held that the secretary of! the in
tarior could conduct an inquiry tr
determine whether the land in
" question was known to be minora
at the time it was surveyed.
An attempt by the present ad
ministration to examine the title
was nrevented by the courts of thf
District of Columbia which held
that 'Albert B. Fall, while secre
tary of the Interior, had closed the
matter hv awarding the land to
the Standard Oil company
. The supreme court, however
found that Fall's action was not
final. It declared he had failed to
co nroDerlr into the Question ol
facts ajftd It opened the way foi
th Interior department to proceed
J with ita axamiaalloa.
,,i ;The court by it, ruling today
. -flhally Osed the matter In iU
resent. stage by' refusing1 to re-
1 bear, the case. t-Should it develop
. t haC the -land was known . to be
mineral when surveyed; the gov
erhment will claim It, contending
i that U never lawfully passed to
California aa school lands and
that its sale by California to the
Standard Oil company did not
give that company title to It. The
government hopes that it will be
enabled to add the land to its
