PAGE TWO THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, 8 AX EM, OREGON. FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1P14. - J 1 BTBANOE SENTENCES IN SYDNEY Sydney, N. 8. W., May 13. Crimi nologists in Australia are greatly in terested in the experiment of Judge Eagleson, of the Melbourne county eourt, in prescribing a novel form of punishment for nie'i-whose of femes are due to driuk. A young man who pleaded guilty to embezzlement wan al lowed his freedom on condition that he should make good within two month! the amount stolen, and should abstain from drinking intoxicants and gambling "during the rest of his nat ural life." The slightest infraction would render him liable to a ten months' sentence. A laborer, found guilty of assault, was released under similar conditions. 0 Corn-less Joy!

In the good opinion of the best recognized musical critics. It is enough to know that Chevalier Snrvator llioriino, Caruso's protege, and a tenor who has had a world wide experience on the operatic stage, and at the same time has been voted the handsomest of all conspicuous tenors, will appear in the title role, while Rich ard K.

CANDIDATES HURRi AND 8 CUB BY TIIIS MERRY ELECTION DAY Today being election day all over the state, many candidates were in the city looking after their prospective In terests. Several dozen automobile, ar rived this morning from Dallas, Inde pendence and other Polk county towns, which were loaded to the guards with enthusiastic candidates and voters alike. Halem seems to be the central point for the office-seekers at present, and a great scurrying around ensued all day, not only among county nspir ants or office but stato office candi dates as well. OF MHI MMMt HABIT IS ALARMING ii Some men" don't need money in order to spend it, 30 ARE IMPRISONED Detroit, Mich, May 15. Twelve per sons were known to be dead in an ex plosion which wrecked the one-story j eoncreto plant of the Mexican Crude Rubber company, at Dolray, a suburb, I today. Police and firemen were search-! ing tiie ruins for other victims. Tin I men were known to be missing and un verified reports said at least 30 were imprisoned in the wreckage. All the eity ambulances were rushed to the i scene. I Ten men were killed outrii'ht and! their bodies recovered. Three others, with their bodies badly mangled, were removed to the Solvay hospital. Two died there and the third man is not expected to live. The explosion resulted from the ig nition of a compound used in the man ufacture of tires. Police Commissioner Gillespie per sonally directed the work of the res cuers. Company officials so far have refua ed to give the number of employes working at the time of the explosion. The Must was of sufficient force to shatter hundreds of windows and shake scores of buildings in the neighbor hood. Thousands of spectators quickly gathered about the wreckage, includ ing relatives of the victims.

'(i Y . -a. : By William Philip Slmrus. (Parii Correspondent of United Press.) Paris, May lo. Owing to alarming ravages made by the opium habit in all classes of French society of late, a bill more' stringently to regulate the sale of Cue drug in its various forms has been drafted here and will shortly be introduced by 'the police prefects of Paris, Toulon, 'Marseilles and other cities, to keep a sharp lookout for t'ae traffic in all its phases and make ar rests relentlessly 'wherever culprits may be found. The footings of no one, regardless of their prominence, are. to be spared. Mine, lasalle, formerly the Viscount ess de Raisue, has jutt been fined $120 in the correctional eourt here for .the illegal possession of the drug. She lives In a magnificeut house in one of the richest and most exclusive quarters of Paris, with several millionnire Am ericans for neighbois. Her name la near the Porte Dauphine, the fashion able, as well as principal entrance to the Hois de Boulogne. The former viscountess' house was raided by policemen in uniform. In the hall the police commissary found magnificent sets of opium pipes with full paraphernalia for. "cooking," etc. Her drawing room was, a model of its kind, being gorgeously' furnished with priceless Chinese brie a brae, draperies and lanterns. A soft rosy light warm ed np the room, and, in a position jot prominence, was a divan, six by twelve feet long, upon which several persons could lie down and smoke together. Mine. Lasillo denied, that s.ie ever accepted a cent from her guests. Bhe lidn't need to. She liked to smoke herself and those of her friends who cared to came to see her and they smoked opium together. She said she obtained her opium in London. Fol I owing the fining of Mme. Lasalle, 12 Paris druggists were found guilty of selling cocaine and sentenced to pay fines ranging from $10 to $400 and to various terras, of imprisonment. In vestigations show that students in the Latin, quarter who snuff cocaine or use opium in some form or other are alarm ingly numerous, while many naval of ficers and men, especially those who have served in. the Orient, are regular ly pat rons of joints in Marsailles, Brest and Toulon, the latter port being France's principal naval base. - As profits are large the trade in mor phine, ethe.r, cocaine ami other nar cotics, is carried on on a big scale, espe cially in Paris, some dealers actually distributing the supplies to dealers by automobiles. The drugs ultimately are leliverert to users in various guises, tiotnet imps hidden iu bouquets of vio lets or other, flowers, often bv women ami girls posing as . flower-sellers. Montinnrtre is another grent drug- using center, many actresses and dom- imondnines of that quarter being ad dicted to the habit. Recently an ape, tho property of. a Moutmartre woman, who died of drug-using, was found to, bo a confirmed cocaine fiend. The French government is making tho most serious attempt vet to stop. or at least reduce to tlio minimum, tho dope habit. While it is admitted that it is practically impossible to stop all illicit traffic iu drugs, the aim of the authorities is to make all access to the poisons so.risky that' new victims will not disappear. So. as soon as tho hopeless drunkards disappear, France, at least, wid be practically free from ttie vice. : BILLIARD PARLORS TO OPEN. Ethyl M. Peters, who sings "Martha" in "Faust."

The new place will: bo called the "Marion Billinrd Tar-1 lors' The proprietors of tho resort are probably two of the best known aud 1 most popular young men iu the city. ! According to Messrs Springer and Holcomb today, they intend to enter to i tho best of people. tkf t drinks of every ' character will be on tapjnd three fine! billiard tables have already been in-: stalled. The location is in the pretty j room formerly occupied by the hotel' bar just off the lobby, south. The : place is to be fitted up with tables, chairs and other fixtures necessary to the establishment of a first elass'and convenient parlor where the traveling public as well as local citizens may en joy a few hours in participation in the game of the hour. While Messrs. Springer and Holcomb will have personal charge of the soft drinks and billiard emporium, they will also remain in their positions with the hotel company, and are taking up the late venture as a side issue. That the new place will receive a liberal patron age is undoubted in view of the fact that the traveling salesmen have been: demanding such a resort and the pa trons of the hotel in general are clamor ing for it.

Turner, Ore., May 13. The anti-bond I meeting was called ,to order by Mi. , McKiijuey, of near umsville, and he j addressed those assembled. j He said he is in fnvor of civic im- ; provement and good roas, I.as always been 'a good rouds booster and was iu ! favor of the bond isiue until he had . 1: . 1 ' . .1 . . . i , , siuiiieu iiiiu me maiirr, aim wuuiu en- deavor to explain why he is, now op- j posed, i Tho scheme looks .good at first, as ! it provides cheap money, but ho snid i he is convinced there is something be hind the sche-.ie other than a desire to ' give the fanners of the country good ; rcsds. This low is the most pernicious on the statutes and was created in the interest cf class. There has been an ' I agitation fir years past to get an auto road arnss the state and the Pacific highway crowd are Attempting to fool the fi-ne-s nto voting bonds to get monev that will lie used to build these roads. Tho law is not what farmers want. I The general nprisinp; in remonstrance against this scheme in this connty has 1 boon phcrr.minal and the more the boosters talk the stronger the opposi- j tion iv. ' Mii snid there were three reasons why ho is opposed, and as these were I the same as he gave at Macleay, we ! refer you to the report of that meet- ' ing and Mr. McKinney's remarks there. Ho snid that the people back in the j Red hills get no direct benefit and their land is the hardest on earth to j shape into a road. He advocated building three or .four mile feeders out of all the small towns and railroad stations, as in this way all the farmers would bo directly bene fitted as it would provide a road to shipping facilities. He referred to the Snlem-to-Aurora stretch of road that is to have $300. 000 spent on it, and snid the farmers there cid not need or want a road at thut price what they want is good gravrird roads direct to the nearest rt ilrad point and not a road to !alem or Portland. Mr. Clark, of Salem, was introduced and explained that about one-third of the money appropriated would be spent actually on roads, the rest would go for machinery, engineering and pre paratory expense. He advocated taxing the county to the amount of tho interest that would have to "be paid on these bonds anj adding that to the tegular- rond fund and in that way get results and pay as we go. He explained that under the bond issue tho rural districts are taxed to build roads near Salem and then left to flounder through tho mud ns be fore. The bond people say this is only the beginning. They have begun at the limit. Where will they endf He referred to the present taxes as high and said that to get more bond money in a few years they will raise the valuation on the Marion county taxes and bond the county again, while the rural valuation has remained un changed. - - ' ' He believes the majority nro now convinced that the burden is unjust and will vote it down, but that the issue has aroused the people so they will go ahead and 'build their own roads.
