Tho rnuddlo in the affairs of Wil

throes of acute agitation.
Different people and different com
mitted continue to 'ir up tbe waters.
Two separate committees are en
gaged Jn making investigation!--a com
mittee of the Salem Ministerial Asso
ciation is looking after tho welfare of
Professor W. I. Drew, and a commit
too on faculty of the board of trustees
is investigating certain charges that
arc- said! to have been mado by tho stu

In a conversation this morning, Itev.
Jfr, Ilobinson, chairman of the minis
ters' committee, wild that tho position
of tho clergy In the Drew matter had
been misconstrued.
Tho position tho preachers seem to
.takes is this. The inferonco seems to
bo that Drew was fired on account of
liia position on tho saloon question.
Tho preachers say they bavo positive
proof that Dr. Coleman gave thin ng a
reason at the mooting of tho trustees.

rate it was tho ostensible reason, and,
as such, their say, concerns tbe minis
terial association. If the- board of
trustees or President Coleman will of
ficially state that Drew was dropped
for reasons other than bis work in tbo
anti-saloon league, the preachers will
drop tho affair. Otherwise; otherwise
Each preacher on the Willamette
committee is preparing a separate and
individual opinion, which will be hand
ed down at tho ministers' meeting
next Monday, and from those reports a
symposium will be prepared and given
to tho public. ' '
Tho ministers are taking no action
whatever in regard to the reported
hold'-up on the appointment of Profes
sor Hover. Neither is it known just
when the faculty committee will make
its report.
One of the interested preachers said
this morning that the affair had re
tarded the growth -of tho University
for twenty years. He also said that
bo felt --positive that tho Methodist
church would not stand for a member
of tbo faculty being dropped! on ac
count of his stand on temperance mat
ters, and that if tho recent action of
tho board in firing Drew had tho en
dorsement of tho conference of tho
church, President Coleman would bo
compelled to give out other reasons for
'canning" Drew.
It is again hinted that tho minister
ial committee will find out more than
it wants to know.
Benjamin Schwarz & Sons vs. Ken
nedy. '
On December 2, 1903, Mr. Joseph
Harris, manager in Oregon for the
plaintiffs, bought from a Chinaman
named Lee Gon SO bales of bops for
15ic per pound. At that time a mem
orandum of the salo was signed by tho
Chinaman. It will be remembered by
all who were interested in tho hop
business that the market at that time
was rapidly ascending. Mr. Harris
agreed with tbo Chinaman that he
would coma down next day and inspect
the bops. Pursuant to bis agreement
Mr. Harris, acompanied by his asist-
ants, did examine tho bops and brand
and accept them. As stated above, it
will be reraembored that the market
was asceding. It appears that a few
hours afer the Chinaman signed the
bill of salo to Schwarz & Sons for
1591 cents per pound, ho executed an
other similar instrument in. favor of
Adolph Wolf & Sons, well-known hop
inerchats of Silverton, for 16V1 cents
per pound. It seems that on- the morn
ing of tbe 3rd of December, when Mr.
Harirs and bis assistants were in tho & Sons contended that the proceedings
act of inspecting and receiving the in the state court had not 'precluded
hops, the Chinaman, Lee Gon, was them from prosecuting this action in

over" at Woodburn, and while thero
sold his crop' the third! time to Mr.
John Kennedy, now deceased, for 17
cents per pound. Mr. Kennedy ob
tained possession of the hops forth'
with, and then Benjamin Schwarz &
Sons began an action against the Chi
naman, Lee Gon, and Mr. Kennedy,
to recover possession of tho crop. This
action was commenced in the circuit
court for this county, and was tried
In January, 1004, before Honorable
George II. Burnett and a jury. At the
trial it appearod that one Ah -Chop
claimed a slight interest in tho crop,
and becauso of tho peculiar rules of
law governing cases of undivided, prop
erty, Judge Burnett charged the jury
that their verdict should bo for the
defendant, in case they found- that
Ah Chop had any Interest in tho
crop, because; he, Ah Chop, had not
signed thu bill of sale. Tho plaintiff's
attempted to show that Ah Chop was
present when Leo Gon signed tho
bill of salo and that he readily assent
cd to the salo. However that may be,
the jury returned a verdict in favor
of tho defendant, and from the judg
ment entered on that verdict, Bonja
min Schwarz & Sons appealed to tho
supremo court, and after trial in that
court, tho judgment of tho circuit
court was affirmed. After a consider
ation of tho wholo case, tho attorneys
for Benjamin Schwarz & Sons decided
to begin another action in tho U. S.
er"cuit court against John Kennody
for tho value of tho hops. Among
lawyors this last named action is com
monly known n conversion. Schwarz
the federal court, and in this conten
tion they were sustained by tho Honor
able Charles E. Wolverton, U. S. Dis
trict Judge. The case was set for trial
on Friday last, the 15th inst., and on
Tuesday morning, tho 19th inst., the
jury returned a verdict in favor of
Benjamin Schwarz & Sons for
$2602.30, (tho plaintiff sued for $280Q)
and upon this verdict Judge Wolverton
entered judgment in their favor.
This case is peculiarly interesting
to tho people of this county. . It is ad
mitted everywhere that in Marion
county more hops aro produced than in
any other portion of the United States
It is also well known that juries in
this county havo permitted their bias
and prejudice to swervo their judgment
and bring in verdicts against tho brok
ers and the browcrs. It is admitted
by every brewer and hop broker and
their attorneys that it is impossible
to secure in this city an impartial
consideration of their Tights in an
action beforo a jury of this county
This is most regrettable, becauso of
the fact that this city and county aro
more greatly interested in the hop
industry than any other portion of
the Union, and it is to bo hoped thiit
a better feeling will prevail in tho
future.
Tho verdict' for Bonjamin Scbwarz
& Sons In tho federal court is a most
signal victory for themsolvcs and
their attorneys, Carson & Cannon. As
stated) bofore, Schwarz & Sons failed
in, tho state courts, both circuit and
supremo, but on nccount of tho fact
that tho judgments of both courts was
inconclusive upon the question of the
ownership of tbe hops, tho issues' were
again tried 'bet.ween the parties in
the federal court, and thorc, before
a jury selected from the whole state
of Oregon, a verdict was rendered in
favor of Schwarz & Sons after a -careful
trial. The attorneys for tho de
fendant. Messrs. Grnnt Corby and
George G. Bingham, of this city, have
not yet s'nted whether it is the inten
tion of their client to prosecute the
causes before the federal appellate
court. The Journal has no interest in
this case whatever, but it takes the
present opportunity of observing that
the substantial irrtcrosts of Salem and
Marloni county require that the state
courts and juries should treat con
troversies ovot tho sale of hops in
the same impartial manner as is ob
served in the trial of other causes, and
especially cease from exhibiting preju
dice against browers and hop merch
ants. It is very prcjudical to tho in
terests of any comunity to arraign'
clnss against class, race against race,'
or religion against religion, and tho
samo remark can be appropriately ap
plied to controversies of this nature.
After several years of litigation, the
highest court in this state has declared
in this case that contracts must bo per
formed, and that prejudice should not
be tolerated. While wo congratulate?
Bonjamin Schwarz. & Sons and their at-j
torncys, Carson & Cannon, upon the
result of the trial, wo fell that tho peon
plo of this state ought to be congrntui
lated moro .heartily upon tho fact that
prejudice and narrowness aro discoun
tenanced by Oregon courts and juries.
