WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.
(AP) An invitation was extend

torney general, to testify Tuesday
before the house expenditures
committee on the Williamson bill
to transfer the prohibition bureau
from the treasury to the Justice
department

ter the committee had overridden
him by a vote of 8 to 7 on a mo
tion by Representative Schafer,
republican Wisconsin. Her testi
mony is expected by Williamson
to conclude the hearings of this
legislation recommended by Pres
ident Hoover and the law enforce
ment commission.
Williamson's Methods
Flaved by Schafer'
The decision to invite Mrs.
Willebrandt came after Schafer
had charged that Williamson was
applying the "gag rule" and
"steam roller methods" in the
hearings. Earlier the committee
had debated and rejected a mo
tion of Representative Cochran,
democrat Missouri, to broaden the
hearings to Inquire into all
phases of prohibition enforce
ment. .
During these developments the
house judiciary subcommittee
considering the Chrlstopherson
bills to broaden the powers of
the United States commissioners
to handle petty violations of the
liquor laws heard Jesse C. Duke,
a Washington lawyer, attack the
proposed legislation as unconsti
tutional. Stobbs Explains
Chrlstopherson Idea
An explanation of the Chrlsto
pherson measures, which were
also recommended by the national
law enforcement commission to
relieve the congestion in federal
courts, was made In the house by
Representative Stobbs. republi
can, Massachusetts, a member of
the judiciary committee. He de
clared that there was no proposal
whatever to deprive the people of
their constitutional rights to a
tiial by a Jury.
. Neither of the house commit
tees will consider the prohibition
measures tomorrow, but on Mon
day the expenditure committee
will hear E. C. Alvord, special as
sistant to Secretary Mellon, and
W. C. Deming, president of the
civil service commission. The Ju
diciary subcommittee will not
meet again until the last of next
week, when a group of New York
men are to appear.
On the senate side hearings be
fore the Judiciary subcommittee

Woodburnliigh School Stu
dents Hear Talk by
0. S. C. Men
WOODBURN. Jan. 24. Wood-
burn high school students were
quite fortunate in having the op
portunity to hear an interesting
speaker in the person of Dean
Jewel of the Oregon State college
Tnursday morning.
Dean Jewel's talk was Interest
ing in more than one way. It
broke into the monotony of the
term examinations which a caus
ing a great deal of mental up
heaval in the school and because
he cleverly presented an authentic
story which brought out an in
spiring moral. He told the story
of himself and his chum of child
hood days, both of whom were
scholars in the same country
school and of the two, he Indi
cated that his chum ranked the
highest in mental acquisitions,
but due to a foolish, childish idea
to go out to shoot Indians in
Texas, which was gleaned from
an-extraordinary novel, the chum
quit school and ran away rrom
home. Dean Jewel's father insisted"-
upon his going to school
and a s result he la comfortably
able to care for himself and fam
ily while his chum who did not
go on with his education is pover
ty stricken and living in a shack.
The idea which Dean Jewel put
over to the students was that al
though thpv intent not be overly
fond of stndv. thev would some
day come to realize what the val
ue of education was ana appreci
ate what their Barents did in giv
ing them this wonderful opportu
