Liquor Bill in Court THE scene shifted in the perennial battle over liquor con ?trol yesterday. Prom the forum of a popular election and from the chamber of a legislative assembly change was made to the sober precincts of the" judicial chamber. Courts were invoked to decide whether the liquor control act of the last legislature violated the constitution of the state or not. , Attackinsr the act was Elton Watkins, attorney for the city " of - Klamath Falls which seeks the privilege of self-government in its liquor matters. Jay Bowerman of Portland on be .rhalf of the liquor commission, defended the act. Friday's session, was but an opening round which will not be con cluded until the supreme court has passed on the case. Judge Lewelling denied request for a temporary restraining order and will hear the case argued on demurrer either orally or by written briefs. Expedition is promised for an early set tlement of the vexing issue. How different the procedure in a court of equity. No shouting, no gesticulation, no sawing the air ; but a calm .presentation of arguments by attorneys, quite wordy and repetitious to be sure; but no oratory. In a campaign speech the appeal is not only to the judgment but to the emotions. In a legislative debate oratory is indulged in not so much to way votes of members as to give the speaker an outlet ; and always he speaks with ears cupped for the gallery's response. In a jury trial lawyers wring tears out of dictionaries ; their remarks are always "ad hominem', seeking to captivate the jurors. In arguing to a judge however, in a matter concerned chiefly with points of law, attorneys cease their bellowing and rely on what logic they can muster. So it was in the case Thursday, the lawyers were not at all bellicose or dramatic. Watkins recited the paragraphs of his complaint, which claimed the potency of the home rule amendment giving cities exclusive power to regulate liquor within their boun daries, claiming that repeal of the prohibition amended res - srrected the old home rule amendment. He asserted Klamath Falls had revenues at stake which were threatened by the Knox plan; and he read the opinion of the attorney general which expressed the view that in the lack of judicial deter mination as to revival of a suspended section of the consti tution, the liquor bill was unconstitutional. Bowerman in his reply claimed that the home rule pro vision of the constitution was self-qualifying by the words "subject to tbe criminal laws of the state", even if the section is revived, which he did not concede. He cited de cisions of the court before prohibition which sustained state laws governing liquor sale. With reference to revival of the section Bowerman contended that the courts should take no tice of the popular will, which in repeal of prohibition was not designed to restore the old system which had been in turn repealed by prohibition. Thus the question becomes now one of law to be settled ly the appointed courts. In the interval there will be some confusion, some laxity without a question. But all parties ""agreed on the need of a prompt decision to let the people of the state know just where they stand in the matter of liquor regulation. La Grande plans to celebrate in 1934 the 50th anniver sary of the coming of the railroad to that city. The 0 & C road came to Salem from Portland 60 years ago this year. In 1934 Salem and the state will celebrate the 100th anni- rersary of the coming of Jason Lee to foqnd his mission near .this city. From then on centennials will come along quite steadily. When her brother-in-law up and kissed her, Margaret Keith, eccentric spinster, gave him a check for $300. Now in the quarrel over her will they are trying to prove she was crazy. That bit of evidence ought to prove just the opposite. What old maid wouldn't give $300 for a good smacker? .' A retired army officer has designed a highway lamp post. Lighting country roads may be the next CWA project. Besides making a standard for the light globes the posts will serve as stoppers for unruly Fords, supplementing telephone poles and wayside produce stands.

HENDRICKS NUT SO lone aeo atrvchnlna nol. soning was a common and often fatal accident Within the past few years pharmacists and physicians have waged a c a m pa!gn a g I n s t this menace to life. I am glad to say that there has been a defi nite decrease tn ' the number of deaths caused by this drug. But fatalities from strychnine are sUIl reported. It Is especially tragic when the victims are chil dren who acci dentally swallow Dr. Copeland pills or medicines containing this deadly poison. Children are attracted to colored pills and often mistake harmless i looiung tablets for "candy". They eagerly swallow a handful, especially If they discover the "candy" Is choc olate covered. Even If they bite Into the pill and find it not to be candy they may hesitate to tell their par ents of what they have done for fear of being scolded. Rather than subject children to danger of poisoning, it is strongly advised that all laxative pills, tonics and other medicines containing strychnine be kept beyond their reach. They should be locked up tn the medicine chest. That Medicine Chest By the way. It is recommended that the medicine chest contain only the necessary medicines. Discard all use less and harmful drugs. Many cases of poisoning in adults can be traced to carelessness in reading tbe libel on a bottle or reaching tor a bottle In tbe dark and taking the wrong medicine. Strychnine is an alkaloid used ia the preparation of many useful medi cines. Since its action promotes bow. el elimination, it is found in most laxative pills. When taken In small doses It is harmless, but In large amounts It is a dangerous drug. A vlctfan of strychnine poisoning requires tnunedlate medical attention, Never delay calling a physician. A stomach tube abonld be passed aa soon ss possible and the stomach contents carefully washed oat. Ia severe cases of poisoning the victim a stricken with sudden ran vulsione. He hss great difficulty in breathing and unless expert attenUon is given the condition soon proves fatal. It ia always best to remove the stricken Individual to a hospital where all conveniences and facilities are available. Of course, prevention te far easier than cure. Several states are now studying this serious menace to health and many of them have passed suitable legislation to guard against the danger of strychnine poi soning. The American Medical association now nrges the prohibition of the manufacture of pills containing strychnine. It also recommends that, laws be passed ao that this drag can aot be purchased In large quantities. This certainly will go far to remove an all too common danger. Answer te Health Qaeries Ruth B. Q.

Resolved: To Have Better Journal of Rogue River war, of 1855: s (Continuing from yesterday:) The change in habits of the treaty Indians was followed by sicknes3 among them; the agent allowed them greater liberty, and this lib erty was abused and the dis content on both sides deepened. S S Richard Edwards was one of the victims of the August, 1853. massacres; he was killed Aug. 4 at his home on Stuart's "creek. Indian Tom and Indian George, murderers of Edwards, and also of Kyle, Jacksonville merchant, spoken of in this column yester day, were arrested by the sheriff. Matthew G. Kennedy, of Jackson county. Tom and George were Indicted and had a fair trial, with counsel O. B. McFadden was judge, S. Sims prosecuting attorney. The jury found the two Indians guil ty, they were sentenced to be hanged Feb. 19; but, in view or the troublous times, the sentence was cairied out a few days after the trial. These were the only two Indians ever in the early days punished for crime by the civil authorities in southern Oregon. V About Jan. 18, 1854, a party ot Rogues. Sha8tas and Modocs, led by chief Bill, stole the horses be longing to a mining camp on Cot tonwood creek, driving them into the mountains. A hastily organ ized company of whites went in pursuit. When on the trail they were shot at from ambush, and Hiram Hulan, John Clark, John Oldfield and Wesley Mayden were kUled. Captain Judah of Fort Jones In Scott vaHey went after the band with his whole force, 20 men, and their trail led him to a care near the Klamath river. He sent Lieut. Crook and D. Sorrell for rein forcements and was joined by a VolnoUer company ot 45 volun teers under Capt Greiger, and Capt. A. J. Smith came from Fort Lane with 15 dragoons and a mountain howitzer. The Indians, hi an Impregnable position, but scared by the firing of the how Itxer, begged for a peace parley, which Smith granted, knowing less then about Indian fighting than he did a year or two later. Captain. Greiger was killed by a shot from the cave. Bill sent three Indian women to ask for a talk. The next morning, going to the care, Smith in his official report to Washington said he found about 60 Shastas who declared they loved peace and had lived on terms ot friendship with the whites about Treks and Cotton wood, Cel., but that the miners at Cottonwood mistreated their women, tltr' cause for leaving that neighborhood. Accepting this apology for theft and murder, Smith advised Bill to stay Jn his stronghold, to be safe from the volunteers. The volunteers re turned home with the body of their captain, taking with them some Indian ponies. e . Jan. 27, S4, a meeting of whites was held at Coquille terry house to consider murders and threat ened murders of Coquille Indians. A. "P. Soap was chairman, and Wm. H. Packwood secretary. Mr. Packwocd was a member of the Oregon constitutional convention In Salem in 1857. He was the fa ther ot Mrs. Rand of Salem, wife ot Sun erne Judge John L. Rand. The meeting voted to attack the Indian village (the same where the T' Vault party was massacred In 1830.) The chief had refused a parley, and declared he Intend ed to rid the country of all white people. . The next morning the whites, under Packwood, Geo. XL Abbott Times and Mr. Soap, acting as lieuten ants, completely surprised the In dians just before daybreak, and killed 16 Indians and wounded four, and captured the rest, in eluding old men, women and children, and took their 12 ca noes and stores. The huts con tainin? their arms and ammuni tion were burned. "a "a The chief was now ' ready for peace; begged for it. And the chastisement quieted all the southwest coast tribesmen in Ore gon, including a camp of them further north who had been threatening to exterminate the miners and settlers. a " In 1854, perhaps due largely to the presence of troops at Fort Lane, with a howitzer, there were fewer Indian murders than for three years in southern Oregon. . Edward Phillips, a miner on Applegate creek, was murdered in his own house April 15. Daniel Gage was killed in the Siskiyou mountains on June 15. A man named McAmy was killed near DeWitt ferry on Klamath river. June 24. and Thomas O'Neal about the same time. During the same month, or a little later. John Crittenden, John Badger. Alexander Sawyer and a man named Wood were murdered by the Modocs or Pit river Indians on the southern immigrant road. at Gravelly ford, in the Humboldt valley: and in September a Mr. Stewart of Corvallis, Oregon, was killed on the same road. Nov. 2, Alfred French, former ly connected with the Chronicle newspajer at Independence, Mo., was murdered by Indians near Crescenr. City. In every case the murderers escaped punishment. General Wool, at that time in commsnd of the division of the Pacific, regular army, was bitter ly accused by many pioneers of being more in sympathy with the Indians than the settlers or their volunteei soldiers. V S The murder of the persons named on the southern Immigra tion route led to the fear that the wholesale massacres of 1852 might be repeated by the Modocs. and John W. Davis, governor of Oregon from Dec. 2, '52, nntir kng. U '54, wrote General Wool for troops to patrol the road, but Wool, was either .unable or un willing to furnish them. However. 1 he did reinforce Smith's force at Fort Lane, and a detachment marched to Klamath lake and back, reporting no danarer from Indians. e "a The real service was performed for the southern route bv a volun teer force under Jesse Walker, with the approbation ot Acting Governor Curry, after Aug. 1. This cost the government $45, 000, and there was a Bcandal, with recriminations, about th great expense--but an Indian war would nave cost more, besides perhaps many lives of the 1854 covered wagon immigration. General Wool was la favor ot abolishing. Forts Jones. Reading and Miller In northern California, and Forts Lane and The Dalles In Oregon, and In their place hare a temporary post on Pit river, one on Puget sound, and possibly an other in the Snake river country. But Oregon pioneers resented this recommendation bitterly, and of the inability ot Incoming im migrants to protect themselves they cited the case of a party of Kentuckians numbering 20 men. women and children, led by Alex ander Ward, being attacked and massacred, and only two boys left alive, who were rescued, near old Fort Boise in August, 1854.

Clark was puzzled and confused, vaguely dissatisfied, but with all a man's horror of scenes and tears. He was afraid that at any moment she might cry again. Patricia saw his fear. She said quite simply, "I don't know what got into me a little while back. I was awfully silly." "You were sweet," he said. The girl felt oddly flat. Had he guessed nothing of the storm in her heart? Or had he guessed and chosen to conceal his knowledge? His attitude was what it had al ways been, friendly, serene and In vested. His course was wise. It was the only possible line to take. She should rejoice in his tact and wisdom. She -didn't. "Now." he was saying In his con cerned and anxious tones, "you must tell me exactlv what was troubling you when I came into tbe room."

Why should she consider him a factor in her affairs? She said remotely, "Julian and I didn't agree at first about the terms. I agree with him now. so there isn't any thing for yon and. me to talk about" He hesitated, reluctant to criti cize Jnlian - Haverholt's methods. yet feeling sharply critical at the to attempt the chastisement of the Indians guilty of the 4 Ward massacre.

S "a . This brings the reader ta the Indian situation in the memnrnhin year of 1855. All the tribes along tne old Oregon trail, west "of the Missouri river, for 2000 miles, were in league to hold back the great immigration movement of covered wagon trains toward the setting sun. As the reader knows. 50,000 were ready to start from points ot rendezvous east of the Missouri river and only two wagon trains, with about 250 souls each, got through the cor don of U, S. dragoons. One of them, the KeiT colony train, cams through unscathed, unthreatea ed. Tbe other was utterly de stroyed. The final home of the western branch of the Keil col ony was at Aurora, Oregon.

But Julian and wSl end it and we will be famous when we do." "I hadn't any right to object," he admitted quickly. "None at alL" He flushed at ber tone. She had scored. He had interfered in a mat ter which did not concern him and she had snubbed him for his pains. She eyed him distantly. As for the man, he was stricken with chagrin and Contrition. "I didnt mean to offend you," he said unhappily. Then he asked, "Why mast we quarrel like this?" Tm not quarrelling." "Then we are friends again?" "Yes," said the girL Clark's face lighted like the morning. He caught up her "hand and pressed it against his lips. "I like you, Patricia," he said a tittle unsteadily. "I like you so much." At that very moment Marthe March opened the door. There was an instant of silence among the three. Clark and Patri cia had started apart. Marthe hesi tated at the threshold, calm and undisturbed. "I hope I'm not interrupting,' she said tentatively. "You're not," replied Clark sharply. Marthe centered then, cool as a breeze in May. Glancing specula tively at the flushed and silent Patricia, she said, "Julian sent me for you. The reporters are insisting upon your photograph." "Julian told me that I needn't see the reporters," said Patricia. S I WALDO HILLS, Dec. 28.

Apparently Marth wouldn't. - "It seems a shame for you to refuse such rood publicity." she presently said inceauieanentially. "I wonder why yon do." Tm too tired to talk to anyone," said Patricia.

Miss Haverholt? I know that Clark has quite a crush en you." Patricia crimsoned to the roots of her hair. With a few well chosen words Marthe had destroyed a glamorous evening. She had made it tawdry, cheap. Let Clark amuse himself if be liked! Marthe did not mind. Why should she mind? Patricia offered no threat to her security. Just then Clark came in the door. He glanced from one girl to the other and drew a breath jof' relief. To him all seemed serene, i He spoke to Patricia. ' "Julian said yoa were' te do as you like." "Then I'm going to bed." "Please don't!" be exclaimed in dismay. t "Now Clark," observed Marthe linking her arm through his with an air of definite proprietorship. "Miss Haverholt has been saying that she is exhausted.
