Drew was active In tho prosecu

Times explosions lit which 21 lives
woro lost.
A Dastardly Crime
"Though It might bo urged," con
tinued Drew," that ther woro no
lives lost nt Lawrence, It was not
tho fault of thoso who placed tho ex
plosive. Tho dynamite might have
exploded nnd hundreds of persona
killed. If Wood caused the dynamite
to bo planted to dcprlvo tho strike
leaders of their liberty, his crime In
falsely accusing thorn Is as dastardly
us thnt of murder."

tho Structural Workers' Union, and
It was largely duo to tho monoy fur

By TAFT'S ACTION
ATLANTA, Oa., Aug 31. Scath
ing criticism ot President Taft for
ordering American troops to Nicara
gua ns voiced heretoday by United
States Senator Hacon of Georgia. The
president's action was characterized
by Senator Hacon as unconstitutional
and lu ocn "violation of tho law.
"President Tnft," said Senotor
Hacon, "oversteppel his authority
when ho sent troops to Nicaragua
without obtaining congressional au
thority. I recognize that small bod
ies of marines could be landed to pro
tect American consulates but it is
n different proposition to send an
army to take 6ldcs with conflicting
factions.
"Tho president could havo sent
40,000 soldiers with equal propriety.
Ho had no more right to send marines
Into Nicaragua than ho would havo
had to send a slmillar number Into
Mexico. It seems plain that the pro
ceedings nro In tho Interest of certain
American capitalists."
Hacon hlntod thnt Important wit
nesses would be called before a son
ata Investigating committee to sub
stantiate bis belief that President
Tnft'B orders regarding Nicaragua
woro given in tho interest of Amerl
cnn capitalists. 1

UN SEEKS LAW
NEW YORK, Aug. 31. Tho legal
and moral Issues of Euthanasia aro
presented to the people ot New, York
state here today by Mrs. Sarah Har
ris, an Incurable paralytic, who asks
for tho enactment of n law which
would permit a physician to end her
suffering by death.
Mrs. Harris Is a patient at the Au
dubon Sanitarium. Paralysis had
stricken her every facculty save brain
and speech. Physicians admit their
helplessness In Mrs. Harris' case, as
serting it may bo years before she
dies.
"When a bruto ot tho lowest anl
mak kingdom," says Mrs. Harris In
her appeal, "la suffering It Is killed
and put out of misery. Dut a cruel
order forces human beings to suffer.
I seek a law which would permit phy
sicians lo kill any person Incurable
affected, who prefers death to a
life of suffering."
Superintendent Loyd of the Audu
bon Sautarium says ho is inclined to
favor the law It It could bo safe
guarded and restricted. He feared,
however, it would opon an avenue to
make murder easy. Loyd expressed
deep sympathy for Mrs. Harris.

Judge McGinn Rules That Cameron
Is Still District Attorney of Mult
nomah County, Also That Esterl
Has Full Authority te Act
Each Prosecutor Will Be Altewri to
Conduct the Grand Jury .Ustaf
Alternate Weeks
PORTLAND, Ore., Auff. 31. Geo.
J. Cameron, though removed fro of
fice by Governor West, still li dis
trict attorney of Multnomah county,
according to & ruling of Judge Me-
GInn In tho circuit court today. Judgo
McGinn aUo rulod that H. M. Esterly,
appointed by Governor West to nuc-
ceed Cameron, while not district at
torney, Is special prosecutor with full
authority to conduct an Investiga
tion for Governor West In tho latter'a
crimado against vlco In Portland.
Tho court's ruling was made In
connection with the quo warranto
proceedings brought by Cameron to
have Esterly declared ousted from
tho office ot district attorney and
himself declared the legal occupant
of that office.
The ruling satisfied both Cameron
and Governor West. Judge McGinn
decided both Cameron, and Esterly
should be vested with authority to
conduct grand Jury Investigations. '
One shall be allowed to conduct the
grand Jury one week and the other
the next. Isamedtately ot the rend
ering; of the decision Cameron rushed
into the grand jury chamber and took
charge or -that body, i49!', , "
The court did sot go Into'tWkl '
phases of the queatkm deeply. HV
said be thought Governor West "acted -
hastily" In remving Cameron and
that the Interests of the community
would be best served by Cameron be
ing retained In office with Esterly
acting Independently as a special
prosecutor.

Governor West today opened war
on tho liquor Interests. He addresses
an open letter to "liquor dealers of
Oregon," warning them that sales ot
liquor to "bllndplgs" and Houses ot
prostitution would be considered a
public nuisance and all dealers guilty
af making these sales would be pro
ceeded against civilly and criminally.
The governor addressed another
open letter to the "common carriers
of Oregon" notifying them that those
transporting liquor Into dry territory
would bo prosecuted, and tbe liquor
seized.
That tho governor might begin a
fight on the sheriff's office was In
dicated when he Bent Sheriff Stevens
a letter enclosing a copy of the re
cent Portland vice commission re?,
port remarking It contained Informa
tion that "might bo valuable to offi
ces desiring to enforce the law."
