    WASHINGTON DRY
IE
Supreme Tribunal Hands Down
Unanimous Decision.
DOCUMENT IS LONGEST ONE EVER FILED
Decision Upholds Woman Suffrage
and Recall Also-Main Objec
tions Fully Disposed Of.
Olmypia, Wash. Washington's pro
hibitlon law wag upheld unanimously
by the Supreme court Friday and will
become effective January 1.
The decision, the longest ever filed
in the history of the court, containing
19,200 words, not only validates the
initiative prohibition measures, but
also specifically upholds the initiative
and referendum amendment to the con
stitution against the latest and most
weighty of the objections brought
against it.
The effect of the decision is to ad
judicate for all time the validity of
the direct legislation amendment.
Since the same objection urged
againBt the initiative and referendum
amendment, that of insufficient publi
cation, could be urged equally againBt
the woman suffrage and recall amend
ments, the real effect of the decision
also is to uphold these additions to the
constitution.
The majority opinion was written by
Judge Emmett N. Parker, with Chief
Justice George E. Morris and Judges
0. G. Ellis, 0. R. Holcomb. John F.
Main and Wallace Mount concurring.
There are no dissenting opinions, but
Judge S. J. Chadwick notes, in a sep
arate opinion, that he does not follow
the reasoning of the majority, but
yields his judgment and concurs in the
result "not because it is the law as I
had understood it, but because it has
been so declared by a competent tri
bunal." Judge M. A. Fullerton notes that he
does not follow the majority reason
ing, but concurs in the result and will
file a separate opinion later rather
than postpone further the filing of the
decision.
Briefly, the Supreme court decides
that it cannot, and will not, notice ad
mitted irregularities in connection
with the publication both of the ini
tiative and referendum amendment
and the prohibition law, which, though
stipulated by counsel in the case, do
not appear as part of the official state
records and are not matters of common
notoriety. This disposes of the main
objections.
The court then decides that any
question of interference with inter
state commerce is settled by the Webb
Kenyon act of congress of 1913, di
vesting intoxicating liquor of its in
terstate character, and that the privil
eges in regard to sale and prescription
of liquor granted to pharmacists and
physicians do not constitute Buch dis
crimination as to invalidate the act.
The one crumb of comfort left for
the "wets" is that the court did not
pass on any constitutional question
raised from the consumers' standpoint,
the court stating specifically that since
this was an injunction action to pre
vent enforcement of the act only ques
ions involving property rights could
be considered.
American Rights Brings Senate Storm.
Washington, D. C. The long-expected
storm in congress over the ad
ministration's conduct of the defense
of American rights on the seas broke
Saturday when Senator Hoke Smith,
Democrat, demanded an investigation
of Great Britain's interferences with
neutral trade and Senator Lodge, Re
publican, replied with a demand that
any investigation include the loss of
American lives.
"The body of an innocent child,
floating dead on the water, the victim
of destruction of an unarmed vessel,
iB to me a more poignant and more
tragic spectacle than an unsold bale of
cotton," declared the Massachusetts
senator.
Men Cling to Launch.
South Bend, Wash. Word reached
here Saturday of the heroic struggle
made by Captain C. 0. Reed and Mate
Cuts, of the fishing launch Airdale, of
Bay Center, during a storm in which
both nearly lost their lives and were
rescued.
They had left South Bend Tuesday
night with a load of 15 metal tanks of
gasoline for a fish-packing plant at
Bay Center. They were a short dis
tance from the fish company's wharf
at Bay Center when the oil tanks were
lost and the launch filled.
Butter Cards Are Issued.
Berlin The Federal council has au
thorized municipalities to issue butter
and fat cards similar to the bread cards
in use for several months to regulate
the consumption of these articles. The
ordinance becomes effective January 1.
It contains provisions for reserving the
cheaper butter and fats for the poor.
The commission organized to equalize
distriubtion of butter is authorized to
require large producers to sell part of
their output, up to 16 per cent of the
total, for re-sale to municipalities
where shortages exist
Fruit Scarcity Predicted.
Kansas City Plums and cherries
may become scarce in the United
States as result of the European
war, according to reports given here
by speakers at the 26th annual conven
tion of the Western Association of
Nurserymen. Imports of plum and
cherry seedlings, grown chiefly in Eu
rope, have been cut off by the war.
The association, it is said, represents
more than one-half of the nursery bus
iness of the nation.
FATHER AND SON IN CRASHING
ENGINES jlEET INSTANT DEATH
Stockton, Cal. Two trainmen
father and son were killed and scores
of passengers badly shaken up in
head-on collision between the Santa
Fe's westbound passenger No. 6 and a
freight special, No. 498,' one mile east
of Stockton shortly after 8 o'clock
Sunday.
. W. A. Wing, Sr., engineer of the
passenger, and W. A. Wing, Jr., his
son, fireman of the freight, were in
stantly killed.
Both engines, the mail car of the
passenger, and two or three boxcars,
were reduced to tangled mass of
splintered wood and twisted steel.
Both locomotives, stripped of cabs,
smokestacks and bells, overturned on
the south side of the track, the pass
enger engine almost reversing its for
mer position.
KARL BUENZ
Karl Buenz, managing director of
the Hamburg-American line, convicted
with other officials of the company of
conspiracy to defraud the United
States by false clearances and mani
fests obtained by them for vessels
chartered by the line for the purpose
of taking supplies from American porta
to German war vessels engaged In
commerce destroying.
Railroad men declared that they
never before had heard of an engine
being turned around in a wreck, al
though they had seen many plunge in
to the ditch at right angles to the
track.
The mail car, with Mail Clerk J. A,
Spalding inside, turned . over on the
north side of the track, tearing down a
barn nearby in its plunge. Spalding
crawled from under the wreckage
without a scratch. ,
Christmas Mail Sails.
New York American Christmas
mail to Europe, the last of which was
dispatched Monday, consisted of 8550
sacks. The sacks carried, in addition
to ordinary letters, 90,500 registered
articles, 84,900 parcel post packages
and 284,457 money orders.
The money orders represented $3,-
158,797, an increase over the Christ
mas mail for 1914 of $1,467,704.
The largest amount to go to any in-
dividual country was $1,569,930 to
Great Britain. Germany will receive
$228,323.
Brewery Men to Stay.
Aberdeen, Wash. The decision of
the State Supreme court upholding the
dry law will result in the closing here
January 1 of a brewery and 36 saloons,
The machinery of the Aberdeen Brew-
ery company, valued at $200,000, will
be shipped to California.
Most of the 40 employes will stay
here.
Several of the office men are inter
ested in a clam cannery and others
will become interested in a nata-
torium, to be erected at a cost of
$15,000.
Liquor Men Get Ready.
Eureka, Cal. The board of super
visors has received an application from
the Astor Wine company, of Horn
brook, seeking a license to conduct a
wholesale liquor house. Hornbrook
being near the state line, the whole
sale liquor houses are counting on a
large business when Oregon and Wash
ington become dry. The names of
380,000 tipplers in Oregon are cata
logued and indexed by another mail
order liquor house that is preparing to
open in Hornbrook.
Bankers Get Five Years.
Dubuque, la. Joseph Harrigan, ex-
vice president; George Homan, ex
cashier, and Charles Siege, ex-teller in
the Dubuque National bank, were sen
tenced in the United States district
court to five years each in the Federal
penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth.
The three former bank officials pleaded
guilty to charges of having made false
entries on the books of the bank and
misappropriating funds approximating
$15,000.
Three Cutters Recommended.
Washington, D. C. Two cutters for
work on the Pacific Coast and in Alas
kan waters, one for the harbor of New
York and another for San Francisco
harbor are recommended in the annual
report of the Coast Guard just sent to
congress. The cost of all these vessels
is not definitely given, but apparently
would be more than $500,000. The re
port favors early rebuilding of the 279
stations of the Coast Guard.
U. S. SENDS PERT
NOTE TO AUSTRIA
Washington Communication
Is
Brief and to Point.
ANCONA LINER CASE GETS ATTENTION
Assurances of Safety to Americans
In Future Is Demanded To
Avoid Controversy Is Aim.
Washington, D. C The United
States has sent to Austria-Hungary
a note asking for a disavowal of the
submarine attack on the Italian liner
Ancona, assurances that such an act
will not be repeated, some degree of
punishment for the commander of the
submarine and reparation for the
American lives lost.
The communication was sent from
the State department to Ambassador
Penfield at Vienna, who was Instructed
to hand it to the Austro-Hungarian
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron
Burian.
Friendly but firm terms, It Is said,
characterize the document, which is
understood to make a particular point
of prompt assurances for the future
safety of American lives. Austria-
Hungary has never informed the Uni
ted States whether the commanders of
its Bubmarines had received instruc
tions similar to those which the Ger
man government gave to its comman
ders after the Lusitania tragedy.
It is understood that the note re
ferred particularly to the charge that
Bhells from a submarine killed or
wounded some passengers on the An
cona after she had halted, and asked
for an explanation on that point.
In discussing dispatching the note
Secretary Lansing acted with the ap
proval of President Wilson. It is said
authoritatively that the document,
which is described as being compara
tively brief and decidedly vigorous in
tone, was so drafted as to attempt a
settlement of the controversy at once
without bringing on a series of com
munications, such as followed the
sinking of the Lusitania.
High officials are said to be of the
opinion that the situation is one which
callB for grave consideration, the state
of affairs having become more com
plicated since the note was dispatched
by reports of attacks on American oil-
carrying vessels in the Mediterranean,
presumably by Austrian submarines.
Half Ton of Pork Condemned
By Portland food Inspectors
Portland Eleven hundred and
ninety-five pounds of diseased pork
were condemned Thursday by an in
spector from the city health office,
upon the ground that the meat showed
traces of cholera. The pork was ship
ped to Constantino's market from a
farmer by the name of A. Blatt, living
in Clackamas county, it is reported.
When the pork arrived at the mar
ket Mr. ConBtantine did not like the
looks of the meat and called up the
city health officer before he would ac
cept the shipment. An inspector was
sent to the market and declared the
pork to be diseased, so the meat was
condemned. A report will be made to
the state food and dairy commissioner,
Blatt living outside the jurisdiction of
the city.
Because of the frequency of trichi
nosis among Portland residents and
four fatalities from the disease, the
condemnation of the city health officer
may lead to an extensive investigation
in the line of pork shipments into the
city. The state food and dairy com
missioner will investigate the Blatt
case.
All In City To Get Cheer.
Pendleton, Or. Pendleton will have
two municipal Christmas trees, with
presents for -every child in the city. A
large choir of mixed voices is practic
ing to sing ChriBtmas carols Christmas
eve, in a grand spectacle on Main
street. One tree will be placed at the
corner of Main and Court streets and
the other at the corner of Main and
Alta streets. A program will be given
and the streets will be lined with ever
greens and red, white and blue cluBter
lights. Two dinners are being ar
ranged for the poor.
Fixed Term in Disfavor.
Washington, D. C. Thomas Mott
Osborne, warden of Sing Sing prison,
in an address before the Washington
branch of the Woman's department of
the National Civic Federation, advo
cated the indeterminate sentence as
the only effectual means of dealing
with criminality. "There is just aa
much sense," Mr. Osborne said, "in
imposing a fixed term of imprisonment
on a criminal as in sending a smallpox
patient to a hospital for a fixed period.
In both cases the patient should not be
discharged until cured.
853,888 Left by Beachey.
San Francisco Lincoln Beachey,
the young aviator who met a spectacu
lar death in the bay off the exposition
grounds early in the exposition period,
left an estate valued at $53,886.44,
according to an appraisement filed in
the probate department of the Supe
rior court Thursday.
All of the estate is bequeathed to
his mother and father. The mother,
Mrs. Amy Beachey, ia administratrix
of the estate.
Tanker's Loss Confirmed.
Rome The Giornale d'ltalia says
the Egyptian authorities confirm the
torpedoing of the American oil tank
steamer Communipaw. The subma
rine which sent her to the bottom is
said to have been a German of a large
type. First report of the torpedoing of
the American tank steamer, says the
Giornale d'ltalia, was a radio message
from an Italian steamer which bad
picked up a wireless call for help from
the Communipaw.

Hog Raiser Raps Prices.
Spokane Packera in the northwest
have virtually cornered the pork mar
ket and are holding down prices, with
the result that farmers who produce
hogs are going to be forced to pass up
northwestern markets and sell in the
east, according to I. H. Jorgens, presi
dent of the Union State bank of Nez
Perce, and a hog raiser. Mr. Jorgens
says hog raising is becoming an im
portant industry in the Nez Perce
country.
Our section ships three to five cars
of hogB every Tuesday from Nez Perce,
and they go mostly to Seattle and Spo
kane," said Mr. Jorgens. "Packers
now are paying only five cents
pound, which we regard as much too
low, the present high priceB of grain
considered. We must have $5.75 to
$6 a hundred to make the business
profitable.
"The packers seem to think they
nave a corner on the market and are
taking advantage of it. Our hog
raisers will be forced to sell in the
east if northwestern prices do not im
prove, or they must go out of business.
We have shipped hogs east from Nez
Perce before and have realized more
than in northwestern markets and we
may be forced to do bo again."
Flour Goes Soaring.
All local grades of flour is advanced
20 cents a barrel. This put the whole
Bale price of patents at $5. There is
a similar advance in the Puget Sound
market. The rise occasioned by the
strength and higher price of wheat.
A year ago the patent flour market
stood at $6. Influenced by the war
flights of the wheat market, flour
prices climbed rapidly Until February
6, 1916, when they touched $7.20, the
record quotation for the Portland mar
ket. The extreme price was not hela
long and the market began to fall
steadily until September 21, when it
reached $4.80, which price has been
maintained up to this time.
Help Reaches Minnesota.
San Francisco The wrecking

assistance of the Minnesota, reached
the disabled steamer at 8 o'clock Wed
nesday morning and took her in tow,
according to a radio message from the
Iaqua received here by C. W. Wiley,
marine superintendent of the Great
Northern Setamship company. The
message, Wiley said, came from the
Iaqua, and, although he expected word
from the Minnesota, he had heard
nothing at a late hour Wednesday.
Republicans Win in Bay State
Boston Republicans were success
ful where national party lines were
drawn In the elections in 14 Massa
chusetts cities Tuesday. In Marlboro
and Waltham Democratic mayors were
defeated for re-election by Republican
opponents. Republicans won in Brock
ton, Northampton, Pittsfield and
Quincy. In Fall River, Springfield
and Haverhill no mayors were elected.
but the republicans secured a major
ity in the city government in the two
former cities. Haverhill has a non
partisan government.
Trenches Bad as Roundup.
Pendleton, Or. William Darby, a
former Pendleton boy, now a soldier in
the English army, has written to
friends here from Kent. Darby, who
was recently wounded in three places,
baa fully recovered from his wounds
and is ready for the trenches again,
He says that he is happy as can be and
that every man faces death much as
does a man getting on the famous
Roundup bucking horse, Long Tom.
Darby Intends to return to Pendleton.
WILLING fOR PEACE, BUT GERMANY
Will NOT TAKE fIRST STEP
Berlin So long'as uncontrolled ha
tred of Germany and the belief that
Germany Is approaching a collapse
continues to be the dominant Idea of
her foes, It would be folly for Germany
to take the initiative in proposing
torms of peace. Germany, however,
Is ready at any time to consider a
peace suggestion from the countries
with which she Is at war, does not
wish a continuation of the war and
disassociates herself under these cir
cumstances from any responsibility for
its prolongation.
This is the substance of the German
Imperial Chancellor's reply in the
Reichstag to the Socialist interpella
tion on peace, In which he painted a
picture'of Germany triumphant on all
sides and supplied with everythlrg,
even If not in abundance, necessary to
THEODORE E. BURTON
fc -r un-in . jiifi
The candidacy of former Senator
fheodore E. Burton of Ohio, for the
Republican nomination for the presi
dency, received a considerable Impetus
by the formal withdrawal of Governor
Willis of Ohio from the race, and his
announcement that he would throw
his support to Mr. Burton,
the continuation of the war.
The interpellation was introduced by
Dr. Schneidemann, In the following
terms :
"Is the Imperial Chancellor ready to
give information as to the conditions
under which he would be willing to
enter into peace negotiations?"
'If our enemies make proposals
compatible with Germany's dignity
and safety," said Dr. von Bethmann
Hollweg, "then we shall always be
ready to discuss them. So long as in
the countries of our enemies the guilt
and ignorance of statesmen are en
tangled with confusion of public opin
ion, it would be folly for Germany to
make peace proposals, which would not
shorten, but would lengthen the war.
First'the masks must be torn from
theirfaces."
Only two Socialists spoke on the in
terpellation, all the non-Socialist par
ties uniting in a Bhort declaration op
posing discussion at this moment. The
tone of the debate was dignified and
patriotic and the Imperial Chancellor
was followed attentively and respect
fully except for occasional interrup
tions and outbursts of laughter from
the Socialist, Dr. Liebknecht, who has
not been in accord with his party since
the beginning of the war, and who re
ceived no sympathy.
The Imperial Chancellor in his first
speech, lasting half an hour, explained
the military situation on all the front
and declared emphatically that Ger
many could not be starved out. The
country had enough food, if properly
distributed. Germany's enemies, he
said, were suffering more than the
Germans, and paying higher prices for
food.
Movable Coast Guns Likely,
Washington, D. C Gigantic guns
mounted on motor trucks or railway
cars probably will be added to the
country's coast defense system as a
result of experiments now being made
by army ordnance experts. It is learned
that a scheme is being worked out for
establishing mobile batteries to protect
stretches of coast line not commanded
by fortifications. The European war
has demonstrated that high-power guns
can be used as mobile weapons, Ger
many's 42-centimeter howitzer having
revolutionized land warfare.
One Man Maul's Students,
Russellville, Ark. Following the
second strike within ten months of the
students of the Second District State
Agricultural college, the strikers way
laid President Scott at night and at
tempted to chastize him with a razor
strap. President Scott said he was
overpowered by overwhelming num
bers, but that he administered vastly
more punishment than he received. He
is of powerful physique, and the black
eyes and bruised and swollen features
of some of the students corroborated
the president's assertion.
British Vote Hits Liquor,
London A rebuke to the liquor in
terests was seen in the re-election Sat
urday to the house of commons of
Postmaster General Herbert Samuel
over Henry Knight, a printer of Leeds.
In a bye-election in the Cleveland di
vision of North Riding, Yorkshire, he
poled 17312 votes as against Knights
1453. Mr. Knight opposed recent en
actments restricting liquor sales, de
claring he represented the concensus
of opinion among the laboring classes.
TO MAKE WITH CHESTNUTS
Variety of Good Things That Will B
Appreciated by Those Fond of
the Edible.
Chestnuts aie liked by almost every-
hody, although they are sometimes
found Indigestible. If they are boiled,

HOW TO MAKE GOOD NOODLES
8lmple Instructions That, If Properly
Followed, Cannot Fall to Make
Them a Success.
Any number of eggs may be used
In making noodle dough, according to
the quantity of noodles desired at
once, the only requirement being to
work In sufficient flour. When using
more than one egg at a time, divide
the dough Into as many parts as you
have eggs, for the sheets when rolled
out will be easier to handle than If
larger quantities are taken.
To make a quantity of noodles suffi
cient for four persons, break one egg
into a bowl, and beat until light. Add
as much flour as can be worked In,
flour the breadboard and roll this
dough out Into as thin a sheet as pos
sible. Lay aside on a clean cloth or
paper until dry enough so as to be
rolled up like a paper lamp lighter.
The layerB must not adhere to each
other. Take a very sharp knife, and
beginning at the end of the roll, cut
the dough off In as fine slices as pos
sible. Toss lightly In the bands and
the slices will fall apart In long, yel
low threads. Spread thin on cloth
or paper, and let dry thoroughly. Then
they may be used at once, or packed
In tight paper bags or boxes and
placed in a dry place. They can be
kept for months. In this way quite a
quantity may be made during the sea
son when eggs are plentiful and
stored for future use, making an lnex
pensive as well as palatable food.
