mobilo loaded with whisky over which
was a cainouflniro of canvas mid
prospector's tools, was captured at
Corviillis Monday. 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

break up ti eniisr of liouor operators,

Worthless men, ono of whom hud re
cently landed in the I'livthiiid iail, and
tho third member of which would cer

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.
