4TH CAMPAIGN
Dayton, Tenn., July 23. fA.
P) Reports that William Jen
nings llryan honed to make an
other campaign for the preaidency
or he planned to make his ad
vocacy of fundamentalism a means
to such an end, are without
foundation In truth. Insofar
intimate associates of the dead
statesman are able to know with
certainty. Will E. Thomson, secre
tary to Mr. Uryan for the past
four years told the Associated
Press today.
"I base this assertion, not only
on by intimate acquaintance with
Mr. Uryan but on his own recent
statement," Mr. Thomson said,
"Mr. Uryan emphatically repudi
ated in this utteranco any such
purpose or expectation,"
Thoast years of tho commoner,
the secretary asserted, woro given
over largely to religious affairs,
advocacy of his principles of
orthodoxy having supplanted to a
large extent his active participa
tion in the political world.
"Although his active political
life was long before my connection
with Mr. llryan, I know from my
close association with those who
wero with his household In .those
days and from Mr. llryan 's own
remarks, that tbe defeats he
sustained in his candidacies for
the presidency had no embittering
effect on his spirit," Mr. Thomson
said.
"The former secretary of state
used frequently to refer In good
humor to his Ill-success in the
national campaigns. He never lost'
his full confidence In the right
and the ability of people to rule.

No law enacted within recent
years affects as many of tbe resi
dents of Oregon as the act enacted
at the 1925 legislature for the pro
tection of title of motor vehicles
within (he state through the issu
ance of certificates of title and
evidence of registration, and to
regulate the purchase, sale or oth
er transfer of ownership of motor
Vehicles, declares Secretary of
State Kozer.
The law went Into effect July 1,
and allowed only n little more limn
thirty days within which to-make
provision for Us administration,
while in practically everv other
state having a similar law. six
months to a year was allowed for
the purpose. It has been physical
ly Impossible lo provide the neces
sary machinery and facilities with
in the limited time, but It Is ex
pected that certificates of title for
every motor vehicle operated In
Oregon will be issued by Decem
ber 1, 1925. Every motor vehicle
owner In the state who has not al
ready applied for tbe required cer
tificate o title Is urged to do so
Immediately. It is estimated that
by the end of 1925 there will be
between 210,000 nnd 215.000 motor
vehicles In Oregon,
Ten or twelve- states have a ehni
lar law to the Oregon law. In those
states it is claimed that motor ve
hicle thefts have been greatly re
duced, and also that the existence
or such a law has had a material
effect upon the rales charged by
insurance companies in connection
with Insurance on motor vehicles.
Applications are being returned
to tho secretary of state ut the rate
of from 3000 to 5000 per day, and
it will require the issuance of from
2000 to 3000 certificates each day
up to December 1 In order that
every motor vehicle owner will be
provided with a certificate of title
by that time.
"No motor vehicle can be trans
ferred from one person to another
without a certificate of title," said
Kozer today, Vatid in those cases of
transfer since July 1 ihe record
owner at that date will be required
t6 make application for certificate
of title, which certificate can then
be transferred by him to the per
son to whom he has sold tho ve-
hlclo. subsequent to that date.
"Again, no 1926 motor vehicle
license can be iasued for any mot
or vehicle owned and operated in
this state unless a certificate of
title is first Issued. In view of this
It becomes necesmry for every
motor vehicle owner in Oregon to
secure a certificate of title for his
motor vehicle so as to pave the
way for the issuing of 192G licences
vhlch will be taken up early In the
month of November as has been
the practice for many years past.

(Continued from' page ?ne)
time the constitutionality ot It
has gone thorugh a circuit court
In this county. Tho statute was
enacted in 1917.
Under the provisions of the
statute upou conviction the father
ot an illegitimate child becomes
responsible for its support fur u
period of 14 years, the child Is
permitted to take the name of Us
father and is granted equal righto
of Inheritance with all children
horn In lawful wedlock.
Validitv Uuheld.
Attorney Walter . Keyes for
7, id in ski attacked the constitu
tionality of the statute ou the
completion of testimony. Betting
up the following contentions:
That it provides for imprison
ment for debt.
That it provides for imprison
ment without limitation of time.
That it requires the accused to
give a bond or to go to jail
through failure to post a bond.
All of these, contentions were
overruled by the court.
Arguments were made this
mornlne by Attorney Waller C.
Window for Heleu Ganiard, moth
er of the child involved in the
case, and by Keyes for Zielinskl
reputed to be father of tbe child
according to the complaint.
Defendant's Letter.
One of the central bits of evi
dence was a letter writ fen by Zie-
linski to the girl on March 12
1923. in which he used numerous
endearing terms, and which the
plaintiff's attorney declared, the
defendant by intimation admitted
the charge against him.
Contentions by the defense
were that the girl had associated
with a number of young men in
the community and that such as
sociation threw a cloud over the
allegation that Zielfnski was par
ent of the child.
A peculiar situation arose in
the court room this morning wnen
Attorney Wirvslow, pleading for
the future of Ihe child, terrified
the Infant with his" thunder! or
tones and it cried lustily, HtMr
knowing that its future financial
welfare largely depended upon
what was being said to the jury.
The jury was made up ot ten
men and tw0 women.

JOHN'S In this city July 20th
Henry F. Johns age 72 years,

father of Mii Mamie Johns,
Mrs. Ilewie Schultz and Jeiwc
Johns all of Salem, Mrs. Isa

Miss Gaberilla Johns and Eu

secured by mortgages. The only
actual consideration received by
Miss Watt was the alleged care glv
en her by th McKlroye and Mrs.
Watson, their promise to maintain
her during her life and to pay her
an annuity ot $200 In Installments
of $100. An agreement to this ef
fect was drawn up and officially
recorded. No security was given
by the McElroj'a and Mrs. Watson
for the faithful performance of
their part of the Agreement.
Given To Strangers
At the time these transactions
were made the McElroys and Mrs,
Watson were comparative strnng-
ers In Salem, says tho opinion, and
after Miss Watt became acquainted
with Mrs. Watson and had lived
with her awhile, they moved from
the house owned by Miss Watt on
Chemekcta street to a four-ncre
tract a short distance south of the
city limits of Salem where they
have lived sinco in a small cheap
house, a part of which was for
merly used as a chicken house.
Since this removal her property
on Chemelteta street has been oc
cupied by Mrs. McEIroy while Mc
lOlroy himself has spent part of
tho time with her and part of it
with Mrs. Watson and Miss Watt
on the four-acre tract.
Tho foregoing statement of facts,
says the opinion, la undisputed and
is tnken from the testimony of
.McElroy nnd Airs. Watson.
Distant Itelntives
The court finds that Attorneys
Ford and Condi t acted for MLss
Watt with tho utmost Integrity.
There is cvldenco that McElroy
made disparaging remarks about
Kord and referred to Condit as be
ing "worse than Kord."
Tho conduct of the petitioners,
tho opinion says, has been above
reproach relative to Miss Watt, as
far as disclosed by tho record. They
are related to her, though not next
of kin, and the probability of their
ever receiving any of her property
s remote, so there is no evidence
of selfish motives.
Testimony as to the mental ca
pacity of Miss Watt waa conflict
ing but all the witnesses for the
petitioners were of tbe opinion that
she was not capable unassisted to
manage her business affairs, anad
this als'i is the opinion of the
court.

on that basis upholds the lower

he he permitted to operate a still

ation. Poor returns from farm
products and lack of ready money
