Shots of Dry Law Agents While a dyptheria-stricken patient lay waiting his arrival last nignt about 7 MO, Dr. H. O. Hickman, Gervais physician, traveling on the Pacific highway, was brought to astop by pistol shots fired by anti-saloon league operatives headed by F. W. Snyder, special agent, who ransacked his car for liquor, without displaying a search warrant, chided him for driving too fast, and eventually ordered him to appear in the justice court, according to the story told Judge G. E. Unruh this morning by Dr. Hickman and Z. J. Riggs, Salem drug gist, who, blinded by the lights of the officials' car, crashed into Dr. Hickman's machine during the proceedings.

Ademand made by both Dr. Hickman and Mr. Riggs, who ar rived later, that the officials give their names, was refused, it was stated. Mr. Riggs' stop at ihe scene of the alleged search was made rather suddenly when he struck Dr. Hickman's car. "I was blinded by the glaring lights of the officers' machine," permitted him to go.

Dr. Hickman was temporarily dis missed by Judge TTnruh. The happening occurred about three miles north of Brooks on the Pacific highway. The offi cials, according to Mr. Riggs, were driving a sedan automobile carrying a license number which, he says, calls for a touring car. Senator Harrison A ttacks Harvey as Personal Defamer Washington, April 21. Senator Harrison, democrat, Mis sissippi, charged today in the senate that the appointment of George Harvey by President Harding as ambassador to Great Britain was a "reward for his efforts" to discredit the Wilson administration. . .. f The Mississippi senator said Mr. Harvey's pursuit of Wil son through his journals and otherwise are only comparable to Milton's "Hell Hounds that were stationed at the gates ot the infernal regions." He added that the ambassador had "no equal as a creator of prejudice and a stirer of strife and that he was "a vindictive, self anointed, intolerant political accident." .. Alien Trust Firms Freed From Control Attorney General Van Winkle, in a legal opinion given today, held that the Mercantile Trust company, organized under the banking and trust laws of Cali fornia, to act as trustee for issues of bonds and notes, authorized under the terms of mortgage or deed of trust and recorded in some county in Oregon, is not subject to the provisions of the Oregon trust laws. Also that the corpor ation is not under the jurisdiction of the state banking department. It was held by the attorney gen eral that the corporation comes within certain exceptions in the law, provided, if in addition to the articles of Incorporation filed with the state corporation depart ment, the trust company files with the superintendent of banks a properly attested resolution of the governing body expressly stating that it will not receive deposits in Oregon or accept from residents of Oregon property or money in trust or for investment. May Purchase Bight-of-Way The attorney general advised District Attorney Neuner of Doug las county that, the county court there has authority to purchase a right-of-way through a munici pality for the construction of the Pacific Highway. This is condi tional, however, upon the state highway commission designating such proposed road a state high way. The state board of engineering examiners were advised by the at torney general that in cases where their attention has been called to operations of unlicensed engineers, they have a right to refer any law violation in con nection with such operations to the district attorneys for investigation.

Paulus. tal-s manager, will tell of sales made during the past year and of the unusual marketing conditions, especially in the prune market. There will also be a financial re jort lor the year. What's the cause ot all these divorces? Is It modern amuse ments? Is it money oi lack of money? Is it unrest? Listen to the words of Judge George Bingham, of the circuit court, Marion county, department No. 1, who recently advocated that marriage licenses should be published for thirty days before a couple marry In order to prevent hasty marriages, and who has been Interviewed on the subject of marriage and divorce by represent atives from Carnegie Institute and other leading eastern Institutions: Money Little InTored. "Any married woman who at tends public dance halls In com pany with anyone else except ber husband will not kep ber virtue any length of time and by virtus I mean keeping within the bounds of propriety," states tht judge. He neemed to think tbat money bad little to do with divorces, but mentioned that besides the class of young people who get the ma jority of divorces, there is another class which he termed as "float ers," a large number of them men who will take advantage of a wom an with a little property, marry her, get control of the property and seek a divorce. Unrest Chief Cause. "A few years ago this class was filled with Grand Army men, and now the veterans of tbe world war are getting Into it," slated the Judge. "Unrest Is the cause of It all, really," he said further. "Today you don't see the family gathered around the table lamp oi an even ing. Instead you see the high school students going off to meet ings of their societies night after night. The family of today Is scattered, they are too busy hunt ing excitement." "Young people should have amusement, but In the home, so tbat their frequent attendance in public places would not be war ranted. Reformers Insincere. "Tbe pool balls the young man frequents today are the very cradles of crime, and when the newspapers and public officials try to clean up these placee, the min isters, teachers and reformers, the very ones mho ought to lend their support to such a movement, don't even take the trouble to call up and thank either one for their ef forts. "Unrest creates intolerance of one another's eccentricies," said the judge. "Each man and woman has his or her own peculiarities. When differences arise betwaw man and wife, they should sit down and talk It over and try each, other's Ideas for awhile. That's the best way tor a couple to keep out of tbe divorce court,"
