Ho is cluiiucd to bo ono of n professional ens: of hootloewrs lone wanted bv tho au thorities. It is not known what has become of the other man concerned in shipping the car from Medford. V "Tho end of n lone chase after an nlleecd bootlemrcr suid to be oho of a eang operatimr in Wnshuicton and OrcBon came yesterday afternoon when Hnrrv Merrill, alias Gconre l"a enn. a roominir house keeper of Brem erton, was arrested in this eitv," savs the Corvnllis Timcs-Gazetto. "bv Fed ernl Detective Ralph Jones." "Merrill was turned over to Deputv Sheriff Tnvlor. Joced in the count r bastilc. and then Jones hurried to Al piinv, where he picked uo a Iiitr Stnde baker six. shipped from California bv . freight in the name of Facan. and therein ho uncovered no less than 200 nuarts of trood old California boor.o hidden beneath the scats and under beddme. .- ; : ' : ' "This moraine Jones drove thebitr machine over from Albany, picked uo his find of vesterdav and awav thevj went for I'ortlan:'. and a lot of trouble j for Merrill, if Jones is correct. Hci mi id he had been on the track of Mer rill for some tune in tho til tempt to break up ti eniisr of liouor operators, hail check workers and all round Worthless men, ono of whom hud re cently landed in the I'livthiiid iail, and tho third member of which would cer tainly he lauded bv todnv. There was no explanation of whv Metrill came to Corvnllis or how Jones knew that he was here, but'Jones knew his man when he saw him and promptly bae ced his tame. "Merrill is a man of 25 or 30 nnd j has a wife and two children at Brem erton. Sherift liotlutlv had conver sation over the phone last night with officials at Portland and thev were nnrent that everv care, be taken to see that Merrill did not cot awav. as it was alleacd that he certainly was one of tho fellows thev were most anxious to set bold of. If the sheriff could have hud that Studebaker car he would have ainved to keep Merrill forever, and moro than the sheriff were charmed with it. for it was one of the finest ever seen in Corvnllis. "There is Vsome suggestion that lerrill or Fnean may be more or less of n victim of hiuher tips, but doubt less tho facts will be fortheonvng shortlv. and Jones intimated that it would be interesting reading for those interested in law and order." . TO MODIFY HOMESTEAD LAWS FOR SOLDIERS FAIL 10 CONTROL I WASHINGTON, Jan. i0. T.etrisla tion urged bv Secretary l.ano to mod ify homestead law privileges in favor of soldiers who served in the war or on the Mexican bonier was approved today by the senate public lands com mittee and reported favorably. The house committee has taken like action on A similar bill. CimiSTIANl.V. Jan. aO.Thc pari ty of the Lefts, headed bv premier, Gttmmr Knudsen, lost 2o seals in pnr- iliament in the election recently held. Instead of 80 seats which it controll ed durimr the lust session of the Storthing, tho party now controls ,V seals, . Opposition is divided between tho Kights, which have increased tlutir membership from 24 to iVi and tho Socialists who have. .IS seats in stead of ,10 as in the previous parlia ment. The Knudsen party, or Lefts, still is the strongest division in the Storthing but now has considerable less than a majority of its 12o mem bers. It is expected that this, will involve the reconstruction of the cabinet. The most conspicuous' even in the election was the defeat of tho speak er of parliament, J. L. Mowiuekel, of Bergen, who was regarded us politi cally one of the strongest men in the house mid one of the most staunch supporters of the cabinet. The failure of the Socialists to in crease the number of their votes throughout the counlrv was n sur priso as this party had profitted bv recent changes in Ihe suffrage law. The partv gaining only 3.000 votes while the Kights eained fi:l,000. This is ascribed to the Socialist program to exelude tho teaching of religion from schools, to support prohibition and to reform society along tho lino of the Uussinn Itolshevilti. Although Norwegian women have had tho suffrage for more thnii 10 yours, no woman has over been elect ed member of parliament. One woman was nominated for that office in the last election hut received onlv 172 votes, A sinull 1'r'uc.tion of self sup porting women have formed nn elec tion association with a platform ask ing voters never to vote for men but its iuflueuco wus not perceptible at the polls. Two important issues t come be fore the piirlimnent nt its session are a reform in the election svstem bv which the thinly settled districts now elect the majority of members while the cities, with a iuoro dense popula tion, have less representation in pro portion to their, 'population. Other proposals are to enact a law of initia tive ami referendum and to solve the prohibition nuosliou. BAIlKOWllES WEIL ORGANIZED WASHINGTON, Jan. HO. Nearly 500,000 railroad employes, or ono foiirth of the entire number of rail road men, have effected some sore of organisation in recent mouths, ac cording to. reports reaching labor leaders here. Most of these men had been wholly unorganised previously or had belonged to trades which were onlv parlillv organiied. A large proportion of the recently organised employes are clerks, main tenanco of way men, shopmen and dining ear emnloves. - . in in I'AIIIS, Jan. 30.
