DISCUSS SMALL CLAIMS COURT JUSTICE COURT MAY BK DESIG NATED TO ADJUST DEBTS TOO SMALL TO WARRANT COST OF ORDINARY PROSECUTION. Discussion of the subject of a small claims court occupied tho greater part of the meeting of the Bend cred it association held last evening fol lowing a dinner at the Pilot Butte Inn. That such a court was now in existence in the local justice court district was the opinion of District Attorney A. J. Moore and one or two of the merchants present indicated nn intention of availing themselves of its fucllltles. Others thought the court would be of little value to them In tho collection of tholr small ac counts. Without n regular salary which the statutes provide may be paid for the conduct of n smnll claims court Justice of the Pence E. D. Gllson thought it would be too much to expect tho Justlco to undertake the work for the very small feo allowed. He snld, howover, that ho would take the question under consideration nnd see what could bo done. R. W. Saw yer, called on to explain the attitude of tho county court toward paying the desired salary, suld that the bud get committee had disapproved the Item nnd that unless tho committee could be porsunded that the salary should be pnld from the county em ergency fund It would not bo favored by the cojtrt. Discussion of association affairs and an Interesting address by Presi dent A. G. Clark accnpled the re mainder of the meeting.

SAYS CHARTER BLOCKS CHANGE BENSON SAYS COUNCIL COMMITTEES STAND Ant I-Weed Law To He Drawn At Xonleen's Suggestion Sewer lateral Ordinance V Footbridge Completed. Any attempted reorganization of the city council will have the opposi tion of City Attorney C. S. Benson, it was revealed at last night's coun cil meeting, when Benson in an un solicited opinion,- declared that ap pointments hold for two years, and that in consequence renaming of the council committees would not be per- mlsBable under the charter. Whether or not his opinion will be regarded as binding will develop at the next session which will be the first meet ing of the new year. Need for an anti-weed ordlance in Bend was emphasized by H. E. Nor deen, chairman of the health com mittee, with the result that he was Instructed to have such a bill drafted by the city attorney for presentation at the next meeting. Nordeen de clared that unless action 1b taken, Bend will within a few years be en tirely overrun by Russian thistles, Pork Question Up The ordlance for construction of sewer lateral No. 29 on Minnesota avenue, authorizing a call for bids, was passed without debate.

Goggans representatlng the park board, appeared before the council, asking action on the bill of Arthur Underhill, Portland land scape gardener, for park plans drawn several months ago for the board Underbill's bill of $3 65 will be acted on at the next meeting. Doubt as to Bend's ability to make any park Improvements for the next five or six years was expressed by Lon L. Fox, chairman of the finance committee. - He suggested that halt of tho property be sold to pay for Im provement of the other half. Gog gans agreed that this might be found highly advisable.

IN MURDER OF OFFICERS STATE ADMISSIONS SIGNED IN PORTLAND PRISONER CHEERFUL Man Charged With Participating la Killing of 1010, Eater Jail Oa Wedding Annlvernary Re fuse To Talk of Crime. PORTLAND, Dec. 17. George Stillwell last night confessed hers to complicity in the Robert Krug mur der near Sisters, Oregon on the night of March 24, 1919. He was at the Krug cabin when A. J. Weston killed Krug, he said, but denied that ha himself had committed the deed- Bringing with them George' 'Still well, charged with the second degree murder of Robert H. Krug, Sheriff S. E. Roberts and Special Prosecutor W. P. Myers arrived In Bend this morning. They have a signed con fession from Stillwell, they said, bat were unwilling to make public Its details. The confession was given voluntarily, they stated, after Still well bad been advised of his rights and told that any information lie gave could be nsed against him. Stillwell was arrested In Portland Thursday on receipt of a wired re- uest from Sheriff Roberts. Prisoner Cheerful Seen In the county Jail this morn ing, Stillwell made a marked contrast to tbe haggard nervous wreck who n November 1920 took the stand here for the state In the trial which resulted in A. J. Weston being sen tenced to life in the penitentiary. Stillwell grinned an almost toothless grin as he proudly displayed a photo graph of his year old baby, and talk ed freely on all topics not connected with the Krug murder. On that bud- Ject, he answered all questions with the words, "I haven't anything to say about that." When Stillwell entered the Des chutes county jail It was his second wedding anniversary, he mentioned. His wife and baby will come to Bend shortly, he expects. He showed no signs of worry. Weston Not Arrived Sheriff Roberts was at a loss today to account for tbe non-appearance of A. J. Weston, who will be given a re trail here at the spring term as the result of the success of his appeal in the supreme court. Up to 2 o'clock (Continued on Page 5.) - (Central Oregonian) THE SPECIAL SESSION If the members of the legislature allow themselves to be herded Into Salem and out again on p schedule provided by someone else, after Tot ing on measures drawn on instruc tions from tbe same quarter, then there is none of the scrap in them that has been a trait of former Ore gon statesmen. The fact that the ses sion Is supposed to be merely an other form ot "Sign on the dotted line, please,"1 should be enough to make them dump their orders Into the discard. The Governor called the session for the, 19th, and members of the House and Senate feel that it was done in order to force them to quit before the holidays. There is Import ant business to come before the ses sion, and the legislators are really supposed to have brains enough to know they have completed it. A special election will be called by tho session to vote on the tax for the 1925 fair. Preparation of this measure is going to take some de bute, und several days time can well bo spent on It. If the money for the fair is to bo raised by taxation, the state should have something to say in regard to its expenditure, If a meas ure for this purpose is submitted to the voters that does not provide for the representatives ot the state selec ting a site nnd spending the tax money, the measure is apt to be de feated. There will be considerable ob jection to millions of tax money be ing placed In the hands of people who are very apt to be interested In real estate surrounding a possible site.. , - i ; .-(., '.A "1925"
