Agitators last Year Costs Marshfieldite Three Months Practice. SUPREME JUSTICE SCORES "MOB RULE" Act Might Be Excused in Case of Private Ctizen but Lawyer is Bound to Up hold Law, Says Judge. Now comes the echo of the I. W. W. deportations from Coos County over a year ago. A decision of the Supreme Court handed down on December 1, written by Chief Justice McBride, disbars Robert O. Graves, an attorney of Marshficld, from practice for a per iod of three months, for participat ing in the deportation of J. W. Edge worth, Wesley Everett and Fred Rob erts. The three men in question were al leged to have been agitating a strike in tho mills and woods around Coos Bay during the Spring of 1913, and on June 25, of that year, a gather ing of Marshficld citizens took the matter into their own hands and de ported the men. Attorney Graves was said to be one of the leaders in the movement. h In rendering the opinion Justice McBride stated that while a private citizen might be excused for taking the law into his own hands, an attor ney could not be excused. Contrary to the charges mad at the timo of the deportation the Court finds that there was no violence used in escorting the men out of the couii ty. , ' "Whilo tho conduct of tho men de ported was probably insulting to the feelings of the community and their denunciations of the Government and tho flag calculated to provoko decent citizens to wrath and to invite breaches of tho peace, this furnishes; no legal justification for the course pursued towards them," reads the opinion of the Supreme Justice. The churges against the uttornoj were made by C. II. McLaughlin ol Marshlield. Marshficld citizens and business men aro highly indignant over the action of the Supremo Court, although Mr Graves took the matter calmly and said that ho would abide strictly to tho decision of the Court. The gener al feeling on the Bay is that Mr. Graves was no more the leader in the affair than were several others and that he is being unjustly upnished. Prof. Richards, who came over from the Bay yesterday made tho fol lowing statement: "I witnessed the whole affair of the deportation of the three agitators. Tho lecture given tho three men just before they were escorted to the boat, was delivered in the street directly below tho win dow of my studio, and whilo Mr. Graves made the talk, he was no more the leader of tho mob than anyone else" SAYS POUT WILL WIN CASH IN SUPREME COURT G.

Attorney Treadgold in discussing the case of Joo Coach, J. Mitchell, Nosier and others, tated to a repre sentative of The Recorder that he had no intention of doing anything in the matter except to see that the liquor laws of Bandon wore enforced. Ho said that certain parties hnd beon in stilling the idoa into Mr. Coach tlml it was a case of "get him or he will get you," which is a wrong impres sion, us lie has no intention of doing anything in tho mnttor. oxeept as was . stutcd, to see that the laws of Bandon aro enforced. Mr. Treadgold said ho had prose cuted Coach for selling or giving li quor to minors and that he had been fined in tho municipal court and as tliO. case had been appealed to the cil jjJDurtJie expected toearry it througntnaFcourt andprocced'in the same manner and to the same end ac he had done in the municipal court. So far as the scandal case is con-, cerr:ed ho stated that he has nothing to do with that any more than to pro tect himself should any charges be brough against him, and ho furthei states that he has no fear of any of the charges that may bo brought as there is nothing in tho whole nffaii that will in any way reflect upon hif honor or integrity in any manner whatsoever. As to the affidavit which Mitchell claims to have been offered $10,000 for, Mr. Treadgold says it is a laugh able ntrair and that he wold not give .$10 000 for all the aflidavits in the United Statos.. Further than this Mr. Treadgold had nothing to say at this time, but would await develop ments which would probably be forth coming soon. He also stated that he had not apeared before the grand jury ag.tinst Conch and had no intentior of doing so unless subpoonied for that pin pose, in which case he would of course have to go the same us any oth er person would PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION MEET Arrangements for the next moet ing of the Teachers and Purents As sociation, to be held t 7:30 in. the ev ening of the first Fridy after New Years, were made at n mooting of the officers and teachers of the associa tion last Wednosdny.

WILL BUILD Frisco Dispatch Says South ern Pacific Will Announce Construction of Eureka Marshfield Line Feb. 1. BANDON ROUTE IS THE MOST LIKELY Seeking Better Grade for Through Trains From the North and South Probab ly Means New Main Line. Indications that Bandon will be on the main line of tho Southern Paci fic from Portland to San Francisco inside of the next five years are ma terially strengthened by tho follow ing report printed in tho Mnrshfield Record of December 1st: "San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 1 It is announced here on what is consider ed the best of authority, the Southern Pacific Railway will nnnoucne the completion of its coast road line be tween Marshficld and North Bend and Eureka, to be constructed commenc ing m the spring of 1915. Two routes, it is understood, are in con sideration, one, an extension from the terminus of tho Smith-Powers log ging railroad, tho other, from North Bend, through Empire down tho coast past Bandon, about four miles east of tho city, through Curry coun ty. The statement is expected tq bo forthcoming before February 1st." While the report mentions tho fact that the road may be built either by the way of Bandon or south from Myrtlo Point, most of the engineers who hnve gone over both routes, de clare tho road along the coast to bo the most feasable. The connecting link between Coos Bny and Eureka, if built by way of this city, would mean tho construction of about lf0 miles of roud and if the work wero rushed right along, would probably bo completed in close to three years timo. Should the reports that havo bee.) printed lately in the Portland and San Francisco papers prove to bo correct, the construction of this link will put this city into direct comnuiin cation with both of tho big cities and give the people of this section of the country exceptional good service. The construction of this line by the South ern practically means that all through trains between the north and south will be run over the new line. For many years tho company has beon seeking to do away with the heavy grades of the valley route. TIE INDUSTRY CONTINUES ON LARGE SCALE HERE Ono industry that stays by Baudou even in the hard times and bids fair to reach larger proportions all the timo is the tie making industry. The Estabrook compuny is getting in ties in large numbers every day and though the rouds ure getting muddy, still the haulers ure busy all the time and ev ery day sees the pile of ties on tho dock getting larger. Tho Speedwell left San Francis co yesterday and will arrive hero Saturday when she will take on a big cargo of ties here and will then go to Coos Bay where she will take on a (ew more from the Estabrook Co.'h dock over there. W. E. Best, who has charge of tho local tie huHimuji; for tho Estabrook people, stated that the prospect for a continuation of largo receipts of tlos were vnry good us there aro many tin makers in tho woods this winter who urn piling up their ties with tho Intuiillmi of du ll vei lug thorn In tho Spring.
