Physician Bound for Sick
Bed of Patient Halted By .
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.

"They were merely signal

Hickman and Mr. Riggs, who ar

stated. Mr. Riggs' stop at ihe

made rather suddenly when he

permitted him to go. 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.

Hun Proposals
To Be Rejected
French Believe
Paris, April 21. Germany's
reparations proposals had not
been received by the French gov
ernment late last night but offi
cials declared they expected they
would be the same as those pub
lished in German newspapers.
For this reason they said they be
lieved the Berlin government's
terms would be "insufficient ana
unacceptable."
Louis Loucheur, minister of
liberated regions, has completed
a plan for the economic penalties
to be placed upon Germany In de
fault of her payment of repara
tions. The Echo De Paris declares
that his plans include a tax of
ten gold marks on each ton of
coal and a smaller tax on lignite
and perhaps manufactured goods.
A tax of forty per cent payable In
foreign money would be levied on
all exports. Germany woulfl he
allowed to manufacture certain
products and deliver certain ma
terials to the allies, the value of
these products being credited to
the reparations account.

There will also be a financial re

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,"
