Supreme Court Upholds
Conviction of Portland
Vice-Ring Youths In
cluding Officer's Son.
Allen McLaren, a Portland
youth, whose father, W. (J. Mc
Laren is a ataie prison official :is
& member of the etate parole
board, must enter the slate prison
as a convict to Nerve a maximum
of. four years. With him, as fel
low convicts, will be Gladwin
awpaugh and Archie Livingston,
sentenced to serve five and twa
years respectively.
The three youths were convict
ed before Judge J. U. Campbell in
the lower court for Clackamas
county of the crime of rape. The
supreme court today, in an opinion
written by Justice Coshow, af
firmed the lower court, declaring
that "the defendants had a fair
and Impartial trial, the judgment
of the court was merciful and is
affirmed."
Chief Justice McBrirfe and Jus
tices Burnett and liund cououtred.
W. G. McLaren, father of Allen
McLaren, has for yearn been inter
ested in rescue and aid work for
prisoners, und has neen identified
prominently with organizations
for that purpose.
The three youths were indicted
Jointly, In the appeal they as
sign 23 alleged errors in the lower
court. Among theee they com
plained about remarks made by
District Attorney Livy Stipp in hH
opening statement to the effect
that he would prove Roscoe P.
Hurat, attorney for McLaren, at
tempted to intimidate the prose
cuting witness and her mother
prior to the trial. The supreme
court holds that Stipp was In good
faith.
The appellants also alleged er
ror upon the court's refusal to
compel the state to elect the par
ticular offense upon which it
ruled for conviction. Only one
ffeiiee was charged in the indict
ment. There was no attempt by
the state to prove actual rape by
either McLaren or Livingston, but
the evidence indicated that both
had illicit relations with the proa
ocuting witness immediately aft
er rape had been committed by
Lawpaugb.
"The three were acting togeth
er," says the opinion, "and their
conduct during the entire time
they were with the young ladies
wa admissable for the purpose of
showing the part they took in the
commission of the crime charged
against all three of them. It was
proper to induct the defendants
together and to try them togeth
er." Other allocations of error are
not upheld by the opinion.

DicuslB of tha agricultural sit
uation between President Coolidge
and congressional leaders who are
viitlng White Court for confer
ences has revealed a general agree
ment that legislation in the next
congrew should be limited to en
actment of a cooperative market
ing bill. This Is the main reason
of the president's agricultural con
ferences remaining to be transiat
ed Into law.
President Coolidge favors pas
sage of a cooperative marketing
measure, although he is of the opin
ion it would be best for eongrei to
work out the detaiis. Senator Cur
tis of Kansas, republican leader,

the view that farmers could be hem
aiut by encouraging cooperative
marketing.
Tills opinion was also ex prised
yesterday by Representative Pru

can of the house agricultural com
mittee who called on the president.

farmers of th middle weet were
enjoying prosperity with gooil
prices In prospect for their erps,

of congress should be centered ttn
cooperative marketing. In the last

designed to entourage exportation
of surplus grain, but appsrently
