The Weather Forecast: Tonight and Saturday un settled with showers; moderate temperature. Highest yesterday ,.,. 6t Lowest this morning , 47 RIBUNE Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS FIGHTING break out again In Manchurlawhlch ISNT good news. Contrary to the hopes of millions of people, the league of nations and the anti-war treaties don't seem to be doing so well. np HE league of nations and anti-war treaties depend for their effectiveness If they are ef fective upon moral suasion. How far would we get, do you suppose, if we undertook, to control crime by means of moral suasion alone? Not very far, probably. . YOU may say, 'with some Justifi cation, that we don't seems to jr"4Je getting very far In the direction J rA controlling crime ny me uo u. FORCE. That 1 a relative matter. We are getting farther In some places than, in others. YOU probably noticed In the pa pers a few days ago that a cou ple of Missouri gangsters hit Oregon up in the neighborhood of La Grande and started shooting, hitting a state policeman and- wounding him ser lously. , - ! Two days later, they were UNDER ARREST. IP Al Capone and his gangsters, who have been much In the news lately, chiefly because of their suc cess in keeping OUT of the clutches of the law, should attempt to oper ate In Oregon along the same lines they have operated In Chicago, they, too, would soon be IN the clutches of the law. They have been successful in evad ing .the law's penalties because they have operated in big cities, where people are too busy with their own affairs to pay much attention to local government and how It is run. CANGSTER3 are 'a big city nui sance They can't operate with any success out In the country. When ,thoy try It, they nearly always get Into serious trouble. CETTINO back to 'Manchuria, Japan la probably suspected by nine persons out of ten throughout the world of having designs on Chinese territory. That may be true, of course; but (here in America we should be very elow Indeed in accusing Japan of suoh motives. We should remember Mexico. JAPAN accuses China of -murdering . Japanese subjects and confiscat ing Japanese property. For years, we have been malting these same accusations against Mexico. If your memory is good, you will recall that we once sent a military expedition into Mexico to puniBh Mexican bandits who had been kill ing American citizens . and . taking American property. That seems to be Just about what Japan has done. "CHINA and Mexico have many points In common. They have been torn for. years, by civil war, which has been waged by selfish leaders Intent upon personal gains and personal power. It Is quite possible, you see, that Japan's patience has been tried as sorely by irresponsible China as our patience has been tried by irrespon sible Mexico. At least, we should take this pos sibility Into consideration before condemning Japan too freely. INTEREST In the news today seems to run to foreign fields. The national respoMlbllltles com mittee of the new Spanish govern ment accuses Fx-Klng Alfonso of high treason, charging that he fost ered the dictatorship of the late General Primo de Rivera. Alfonso, meanwhile, Is safely over the line in France, and France will object strenuously if Alfonso's form er subjects cross the line with the Idea of taking him back to Spain and hanging him. So the national responsibilities committee of the new Spanish gov ernment can meditate on the funda mental soundness of the ancient recipe for making rabbit soup, which started off with the advice to first catch your rabbit. SPAIN Is a long way from Southern Oretmn. and there are manv things here in wh'ch we are much more keenly Interested than in Spanish politics; but we might pause to remark that if the new Spanish government is really Interested In Improving conditions In Spam there Continued on Page Ten) OPERATOR LOSES ECAS E T HOLLY Short Deliberation Sufficient for Verdict in $50,000 Suit Patch's Admissions Carry Weight With Jury A circuit court Jury, George W. Dunn, Ashland, foreman, this after noon after lesa than 15 minutes de liberations returns a verdict denying Hoy G. Paten any damages whatso ever in his $60,000 suit against the Holly theater, for alleged negligence reaulting In impairment of his eye sight. The trial lasted three and one-half days. The verdict was one of the quickest ever recorded In a damage action In this county. It was the second no-damage verdict In a week, ' One of the outstanding features of the case was the testimony and ad mission of Patch, that .he had driven an auto' since the date he claimed to have' sustained serious rnjury to his eyesight. Before discharging the Jury, Cir cuit Judge J. T. Brand of Marshfield, thanked the Jury "for conscientious efforts," and declared "that one of the problems confronting America today was the administration of jus tice by jury," and service thereon "was a hlg.li privilege of all Ameri cans. In his closing arguments to the Jury, Attorney George M. Roberts told the Jury that "in hard times damage suits are frequent, on flimsy excuses," and declared that the evi dence tended to show that Patch's eyes were Impaired before he became an employe of the Holly theater. . Attorney, M. p. Wllklns declared, "It Is none of your business whether the plaintiff Is in poverty or not, or whether his counsel la addicted to the filing of damage suits, but whether or not Patch, is entitled to damages under provisions of the Ore gon Employer's Liability law." E BE PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 23. (AP) While state police announced that the woman they seek does not answer the description of Mrs. Ruth Judd, sought In connection with the Phoe nix trunk murders, they were today hunting for a woman ,who held up Truman Northrup at the point of a gun, stole his automobile keys and then escaped on foot.

Captain Ourdane of state police said that every effort will be made to capture the woman, but he does not believe she Is Mrs. Judd.
