NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
CHANGE CRIMINAL LAWS.
Attorney General Crawford Would
Remedy Many Defects.

Attorney General Crawford Woul
Remedy Many Defects.
Sslem-Attorney General Crawfor
has started movement for the revisio
of the criminal laws of the state by re
moving defects and enacting new laws
SO that the guilty shall not escape upol
technicalties. He has addressed let
ter to each of the prosecuting attorney
OF ths state, asking them to submit t,
him such recommendations upon th
need of criminal legislation as the,
may think best, and he will lay tn,
whole matter before the judiciary com
mittee of the next legislature.
In his letter Mr.. Crawford says thai
probably every district attorney has ir
his experience found some laws which
are 40 defective in their terms that mer
who are guilty cannot be convicted
and have found some offenses for which
no statute whatever is provided. He
says that the time to remedy the de-
fects in the criminal laws is during a
session of the legislature, and, in order
that this may be done properly, the
laws should be drafted before the legis-
lature meets.
The prosecuting attorneys, he thinks,
are in the best position to learn of the
defects in the laws, and he wants them
to suggest the changes that should e
made. With recommendations befol 9
him from all the prosecuting attorneys,
the attorney general will be able to lay
before the legislature information that
will enable that body to place the Grim
inal laws in much better condition
than they have ever been before.
A very striking illustration OF the
defective condition of the criminal laws
was found when the state land fraud
prosecutions were begun in Marion
county something over a year ago.
There was no law under which men
could be convicted after they had sworn
falsely in making applications for the
purchase of school lands.
There was no statute making it
crime to sign fictitious name to an ap-
plication for the purchase of school
land. There was no law to be found
for the punishment of a notary public
who affixed his seal to an instrument
which he had drawn, and to which be
1ad signed tcticious name.
At nearly every term of court men
who are placed on trial escape punish.
nent, although proven guilty, because
he statute does not quite cover the
rhine committed. 1t is defects OF this
lind that Attorney General Crawford
wishes to remove. He is not seeking
o make crimes of small offenses which |
re OF no Importance, but merely 90 to
orrect the laws that ie will be possible
o secure conviction when men are
ound guilty OF acts which every one
ecognizes as criminal in character.

Grain Sack Problem Serious.

Pendleton-The grain sack problem
promises 70 be serious for the fArmers
of Umatilla county, who will use g.
600, 900 this year. AT the present
prices, 10 cents each, this means $780,
600 in this county. Other Eastern
Oregon counties, it is estimated, will
use at least 1000, 900 more, making a
total of $4,0O0,00O for this section.
This entails tine expenditure of nearly
half a million dollars for grain sacks,
which, together with the expense of
harvesting the crop, represents an
enormous expenditure of money before
anything is realized from the crop.

Salem-Just what additional revenue

result of the passage of the laws taxing
the gross earnings of telegraph, tele-
phone, express and other corporations
is not known for certainty. The
Western Union Telegraph company will
have to pay about So, 500. The Pacific
States Telephone company will have to
pay more probably. None of the cor
porations will pay until it has tested
the law in the courts, go it is said.
Some have estimated the revenue at

Settlement Named After Wagon.

Arlington Some 80 years ago few
men settled on fiat about IL miles
south Of Arlington. In the crew was
only one wagon-an old Schutler. In
some way they began calling this neigh
borhood Schutler, from the old wagon.
A few years later it was, as it is now,
known as Schutler Flat. When the
Condor branch railroad of the O. R. &
N. Co. was built. station was estab-
lished near this place, and is named
Schutler. This is one of the finest
farming sections in Gillian county, and
thus from an old wagon a name is
found for a fine wheat belt.

NO PRISON FOR JOHN D.
Government Not Likely to Indict Big
Oil Trust Men.

Washington, June 25.-Although the
department OF Justice has announced
that it proposes to begin criminal pro.
ceedings against the officials OF the
Standard Oil company, the intimaton
is given out that it is doubtful if in
dictments may be found against such
men in the Standard Oil company as
John d. Rockefeller, Fl. Fl. Rogers and
John D. Archbold. An official in the
department of Justice indicated today
that while the government would press
the prosecutions vigorously, he did not
have an idea that the officials OF the
Standard Oil company would be reached
in the criminal proceedings any more
than the presidents of railroads, per-
sonally, are reached through similar
proceedings.

was awaiting the arrival of the train

never even cast a look toward the man

FASHIONS SHORT DINNER.
No Longer the Thing to Sit at Table
Long Hours Over .
Heavy Meal

Every year in New York introduces
some social novelty. The innovation
attracts attention for awhile, then be-
comes matter OF course. Two years
ago hosts ceased to ask their guests
long In advance. Three or four days
began to be thought sufficient where
formerly almost as many weeks were
considered indispensable. Now invita-
tons at short notice are expected.
The most noticeable social novelty
Of the present season has been the
short dinners. Bridge brought them
in. They survive now even when they
are not curtailed for the sake OF the
game.
The long dinners used to be very
much overdone." woman complained
the other day, ''but it looks now as
il we had run to the other extreme.
Dinners are SO hurried that there Is
time neither for food NOR for converse
ton.
Il saw a dinner served last winter
SO quickly that the women left the
table exactly 45 minutes after they
had sat down in spite Of the eight
courses. That celebrity was all right.
There was variety show coming on
after dinner, apd we got started at
about $50 There was more supper
at IL. and we got home In good sea-
son.
Dinners are hurried now when there
is nothing to follow. l saw four men
serve dinner for IL persons the other
night, and do 1t so quickly there was
scarcely time to nibble at the courses,
and there was no chance to get start
ed on any subject. | don't believe We
could have been half an hour at the
table. The coffee was of course served
In the drawing-room. That gave us
almost two weary hours, as 1t was
too early for anybody to go home"
There are other causes than bridge
for the popularity of the short dinner
to-day. Women who go out great
deal look upon dinners as the stiffest
of entertainments, because they must
sit still and cOnfine themselves to only
two mems conversation. After awhile
dinners grow very wearisome to those
persons accustomed to SO many OF
them, and the shorter they can be
made the better for them.
