Critical Times in

Red Sea
London, July 21. Jingoism h Is
rampant throughout Great Britain to
day, and the Balfour ministry faces a
situation, which will require the exor
cising of the most careful diplomacy
If the nation is not to bo plunged Into
a war involving all Europe. There is
an enormous demand for drastic ac
tion In the Russian seizure of British
ships in the Red Sea by both press
and people.
The majority of the people want the
steamer Malacca taken by force from
the Russian prize crew, If not Instant
ly released. On the other hand, the
continental circles apppear to believe
that Russia is entirely within her
rights in taking the Malacca to a Rus
sian port for trial by a prize court. A
prominent French diplomat is. author
ity for the statement that Russia had
become possessed of the Information
that the Malacca had on board, be
sides amimunition, an immense steel
crane., intended for the Japanese naval
jjpek at Mojl. She Is justified-in. her
course.
Replying to questions la the house
!of commons- today Premier Balfour
stated it was a fact that the Malacca
had left Port Said in charge of a Rus
sian prize crew, and! that this fact un
doubtedly raised the most serious
question Ho said lhat ho would mo3t
certainly make a statement to the
house on the subject, but at present
such an action would1 be ill-advised.
Ho wa"s loudly cheered and evaded an
swering a number of questions by ask
ing that they bo postponed until next
Monday.

causing trouble in court. King Alfon

MOVE TO
DISMISS
CASES
Attorneys for Liquor Dealers
Advance Several Reasons
to Court
Attorneys Carson, Adams & Cannon,
Holmes & Holmes, W. M. Kaiser and
D. J. Tarpley, representing J. P. Rog
ers and J. A. Cooper, tho two saloon
men convicted of keeping their sa-.
loons open on Sunday, havo filed a
motion in each case with Justice Tur
ner. The motion seeks to arrest Judg
ment, and to dismi&s the actions. It
is as follews:
Now comes tho defendant in the
above entitled criminal action, and
moves the court to set aside tho ver
dict of the Jury herein, and to arrest
Judgment upon said, verdict, and to
dismiss this action on the following
grounds, tewit:
First That the complaint herein
does not state facts sufficient to con
stitute a criminal action or any viola
tion of any laws of tho state of Ore
gon. Second That tho said complaint is
not verified in the manner required by
statute.
Third That section 1974 of Bel
linger's Annotated Codes and Statutes
of Oregon, upon which this action is
prosecuted, has been repealed.
Fourth That that certain act of the
legislative assembly of tho terrrltory
of Oregon entitled "An act relating to
tho granting of licenses to sell spirit
uous liquors, and to tho licensing bil
liard tables and ball alleys," passed
the 8th day of January, 1854, is con
trary to tho act of congresss establish
ing the territorial government of Ore
gon, passed August 14, 1848.
Tho reasons advanced comprise the
points relied upon by the defenco to
secure a reversal of tho cases in the
higher courts. The contention that
tho section of tho codo under which
the defendants were arrested has
been repenled, will bo urged' very
strenuously.
Several attorneys who are not at all
interested in tho cases said that it was
not at all surprising to them, for the
obsolete section to be included In tne
Bellinger & Cotton compilation, for the
vory first paragraph of tho book con
tained a serious mistake in the United
States constitution, and a number of
other errors had) been discovered from
time to time. 111118 Code, the previ
ous compilation of the Oregon laws,
also contained errors, and in fact al
most every code la subject to more
or less inaccuracy.
