Examination of witnesses in the $9900 damage suit of M. S. Ramp, his wife and son, Robert Malcolm Ramp, fcgainst B. G, Osborne, the Oregon Rubber company and Ken neth Ross, all involved in the au tomobile accident which occurred on the Pacific highway near Brooks and from which Mrs. Beu lah Westley, a passenger in the Ramp car, and George Samuelson, employee of the state hospital and riding in the Osborne car, died from injuries received, began this morning In the circuit court be fore Jurge Percy Kelly, with Roy Shields and Walter Winslow rep resenting the plaintiffs and Walt er Keyes the defendants. Did Not See Car. Ramp, himself was on the stand this morning testifying that he did not see the Osborne .car ap proach or strike him, and that his machine by the force of the impact was thrown 49 feet from the spot where the two cars came together at the intersection of the Brooks- Mt. Angel road and Pacific high way; The Osborne car, the wit ness said, was 114 feet from the same point in an easterly direc tion. ' v The witness was asked to ex hibit his injuries to the jury after testifying that he had received a cut lip, a fractured jaw bone and injuries about the stomach. Contributory negligence on the, part of Ramp is the defense of the attorney for Osborne and the other defendants, who cross-examined Ramp this morning in an endeavor to establish the fact that there wag nothing to prevent him see ing the approach of Osborne. Ramp however, stated that he was watching a car coming from an opposite direction, north from Portland, and that he had no warning of the approach of the de fendant. The plaintiffs allege that Os borne was in the employ of the Oregon Rubber company selling tires at the time the accident hap pened and the, therefore, holding the concern liable in the suit. The Oregon Rubber company, however, alleges that Osborne wag dis charged just previous to July 2 Kenneth Ross, the third defend ant In the suit, is charged with being the owner of the car driven by Osborne, but denies the allega tion, affirming that he had sold the car to Osborne.

DRUGEV1L DECLARED REALKNOT Problem One .Demand ing Immediate Action State Officers Agree In Session Here Oregon's narcotic problem Is a most serious one and demands im mediate attention. Thus far members of the state board of health and state board of pharmacy asembled here today on invitation of Governor Olcott to consider ways and means lor meeting the drug problem are agreed. As to the proper solu tion of the problem, however, members of the two boards are divided into almost v as many channels as there are members on the two boards. Report Is Dead A report on the narcotic evil in Oregon prepared by Dr. Fred erick A. Strieker, secretary of the state board of health, and Frank Ward, secretary of the, state board of pharmacy, at the re quest of Governor Olcott and sub mitted at today's meeting divides the state's narcotic problem into three classes: Peddlers, curable addicts and incurable addicts. As a solution of the "peddler problem the report suggests more active police service, long prison sentences and large fines. Curable addicts, the report recommends, should be committed for a period of at least 18 months to an institution for treatment. Such an Institution, the report points out, is absolutely essential to successful solution of the drug evil, but it should hot be a costly undertaking because If properly handled it should be made self supporting. 1.500 Addicts, Estimate For the incurable drug addict, the report recommends a source of supply of drugs under strict supervision where the addict can receive his necessary supply at cost. . A survey of the situation in this state, the report points out, shows that there are approxl mately 1350 drug addicts in Port land with probably an additional 150 addicts outside of Portland. Drug addicts, it is pointed out, favor the slum districts of large cities and railroad centers. While complete cures are held to be en tirely possible, relapses ' are fre quent because of an Inherent de fect of character in the average drug addict. While it is agreed that the state must move in solving the problem, the report points out that the problem is an national one and an international one. The English government must be per suaded to suppress the wholesale production of opium in the Brit ish possessions , and in inter national agreement must be reached to prohibit the importa tion of the drug except for med icinal purposes. Eouck Starts Debate Dr. George Houck of Roseburg, a memberof the state hoard of health, found himself in a hope less minority when he started the day's discussion with the state ment that all drug addicts are" mentally deficient. Any treat ment which failed to take into consideration this phase of the problem is doomed to failure, he declared. While a large percent age of addicts are curable many are doomed to become permament state charges he declared. Both Dr. F. M. Brooks and Dr. C. J. Smith of Portland, mem bers of the board of health, took issue with Dr. Houck's statement relative to the mental deficiency of drug addicts. Many of the na tion's most brilliant men and wo men have been drug users, accord ing to Dr. Brooks while Dr. Smith' insisted that the use of narcotics did not necessarily stamp a person as insane or even feeble minded. Drug addicts are not Institu tional cases, ' according to Dr. Smith, who opposed any move for a state appropriation for an In stitution for the care of drug cas es. In the opinion of Dr. Smith drug addicts should be registered and their names supplied to every legitimate source of supply as well as to every peace oincer in the state for their guidance In handling each Individual case as Newberry Assailed By Borah Washington, Jan. 10. The sen ate seat held by' Truman H. New berry should be declared vacant, Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, declared today In the senate, on the ground that the Michigan election in 1918 "being tainted with corruption and controlled through the use of money, is void." A movement to recommit the Newberry election case to the sen ate privileges and elections com mittee developed late today while debate was under way. Those be hind the, movement, it was said, desired to have Senator Newberry examined by the elections commit tee. , - Work of State Among Injured Men Discussed Reconstruction work among men who have sacrmcea mem- selves on the altar of labor and are entitled to state compensa tion from the industrial accident commission, was reviewed by Dr. Fred Thompson, member of the commission before the Kiwanis club this noon in the Commercial club auditorium. According to Di. Thompson a certain award is made to men who have been injured, payable $25 a month with the additional feature of being aMe to take up vocational training if the injury prevents - them from following their previous occupation. Forty six men are now learning new trades while 49 have already com pleted their course and are Inde pendent in their new line of work. - Dr. Thompson stated that about 90 patients are treated daily by the departments ': of electric therapeutics of the commission the advantages of this treatment being that it lessons the time of convalencence, ana also cuts down the number of permanent disabil ity cases. In regard to the law the doctor stated that Oregon was the first state to put into practice the problem of reconstruction and rehabilitation of men who were injured in working and believed that it was the best law of any In the country due to the fact that under it the commission has not performed Its duty until every man who has been prevented from performing his previous work is provided with some other useful occupation.

UPHELD Supreme Court Sus .tains Judge Bingham In Case , Instituted by Hofer " The constitutionality of the dog tax law enacted by the state legis lature of 1919 is upheld in an opinion written by Justice Rand and, handed down by the supreme court this morning affirming the decree of Judge Bingham of the Marion county circuit coutr In the case M E. Hofer vs. John Carson, district attorney, and other offi cials of Marion county, i Hofer, as the owner of a dog, sought to enjoin officials of Mar ion county from collecting the li cense fee fixed by the state law at $1 annually for male dogs or spayed bitches, and $2 annually for female dogs. Hofer in his complaint asserted that his dog was already regularly assessed and taxed as personal property and that he had paid this tax and that under the act of 1919, under attack, he would be compelled to pay an additional sum as license fee which in reality is not a li cense fee but a tax levied Wholly for the purpose of raising a reve nue to create and maintain a "dog fund." State Powers Sunreme. In upholding the validity of the act Justice Rand points out that "the keeping of dogs is under the absolute control of the legislature and that right may be conditioned upon the payment of a license, that the license imposed by the state law was created "as an ex ercise of the police power" of the legislature "as distinguished from the taxing power." i Colonel Hofer, Salem business man, who has '. been conducting the fight against the dog tax law. declared this morning that he was not yet through with hia fight, in timating that he would carry his case to the next legislature for a repeal of the act of 1919.

HENRY YEARY DIE FROM UNPROVOKED BLOWS UPON HEAD F. F.

Salem Pedants Brave; Mouse Can 't Scare 'Em; Only 1 Mounts Table ' : 1 Governor Asks New Jersey Dry Law Be Killed Mace Re-arrested for Passing Bad Check; Now Jailed Andrew Mace undoubtedly has his troubles. It was only a short while after Andrew had been fined (10 and sentenced to serve five dayg in- the city Jail for assault and battery yesterday afternoon, that be was again arrested by the police on a bad check charge. Andrew, who had been In trou ble with the police on previous occasions, was still In Jail today, asserting whenever the opportun ity offered, his innocence. Andrew was arrested Sunday night after a fight which took place between him and W. S. Pat terson. The "short story writing" charge, on which h was Jailed yesterday afternoon, grew out of a complaint from the Ladd ft Bush bank on which be was said to have passed a worthless check. It the law of averages might re ceive as fair a test among public school teachers as in other lines of endeavor, then American wqn en are not mi frightened by mice as our cartoonists would insist. It follows that" only one woman out of nine, it the law of averages holds, will attempt to apply her Mazama training to a nearby table upon the appearance of a mouse. Yesterday noon nine Instructors of tbe Grant school were eating lunch in one Of the school rooms. The pedagogues were conversing on subjects intellectual endeav oring, as teachers are wont to do, to gather a little brain food along with the rest. And then a little mouse, attract ed by tbe aroma of palatable food, made the mistake of entering the room unannounced. Apparently he understood it was his error be fore the first petticoat but that is another story. Of course there were shrieks. No body of school teachers would deliberately disillusion a public which fondly believes that all women are thrown in a paroxysm of fear upon the advent of a mouse. And so, when the small ball of gray made his quiet en trance and subsequently endeav ored frantically to escape, there was a nlsturDance oi a miiui ; taclysmic nature. The teachers did all that might be expected of them. There were nine of the teachers, quiet and sedate. Entered, just a single mouse, then there were eight. For one of the instructors Just one climbed upon a table and gave the mouse the right-of-way. The other eight essayed to make life miserable, and of short dura tion, for the mouse. Enterfng whole-heartedly Into the spirit of the chase, the teach ers made "short work of it. In a comparatively few seconds the mouse was Imprisoned in a shoe box which later was turned over to the school's Janitor. An eight-to-one vote had told the world that women are an intrepid lot. And the little mouse? He sac rificed his life on the altar of pedantic prowess, but not before he had helped to make the unbe lievers understand that Kipling was right when he made a pass to the effect that the female is some what more deadly than her male contemporary. The First Farm Loan associa tion of Eugene has mors least asd more than twice as many borrow ers as any other association in the state. It has 275 borrowers and (686,300 loaned. Trenton, N. J., Jan. 10. Repeal of the VanNess prohibition en forcement act of New Jersey, which he characterized as "an in strument of oppi-mmTon" and suo stitution of a less drastic act pro viding Jury trials for all alleged violators, was urged by Governor Edwards In his second annual mes sage to the New Jersey legislature today. "The belief that the surest pro tection against Judicial and other forms of oppression and tyranny lies In the right of trial by Jury," said the message, "is so well set- -tied in the minds of our people that attempts to encroach upon or destroy that privilege can have but one effect, namely to breed suspicion of the motives of legisla tors and contempt for law." ' The governor also suggested adoption of a resolution calling on congress to prohibit hearing by I federal judges of cases decided bjr' the "state utility board.
