IRRIGATION
SYSTEMS FOR
DRY STATES
NUnIted Press Leasea VIC. !


Washington, April 21.-The con
stitutional lawyers OF the senate are
are preparing 20 have their fiing
Arguments about the plans OF the
| father" and states rights will be
worked over time when that body
comes 10 take the measure from the
judiciary committee Intending 20 re
strict the trafic OF intoxicating lia-
aors between wet" and dry
states.
When the various bills on this
subject were being considered by the
committee there were almost as
many diyerent views expressed as
there were members. The bill that
finally got out OF committee was q
compromise. Instead OF giving a.
dry" state the right 20 hold up shin
ments OF liquor az the state border
as desired by the prohibition forces,
Il merely prevents a railroad from
acting as agent for the cOnsignOr.
aud requires the full name and ad-
dress of both cOnsignOr and con-
signee TO be inscribed on the pack
age.
Some irritation Is likely 10 De
manifested when the debate comes
on. The pin points OF the cOnstitu-
tiOn that are thought likely by lesal
experts 10 stick into the practical fn-
forcement OF state prohibition may
cause sores. IL Is the argument OF /
the senators from the dry" and
near dry" states that the freedom
OF inter-si ate traffic la liquor makes /
prohibitOry state laws OF little ef-
feet. II takes only a few months an
der the present laws 20 establish .
complete system OF irrigation for
dry" states from the outside where
the damp Is uncOnhned.

tary and director. were a, controlling
Interest of the board of directors
and therefore the real custodians of
ment enlarged and became more I'm
tircate and the jury was excused for
such time as II lasted.
The defense next raised the con-
tention that the money deposited by
Steele was in the nature of COM
rnercial deposit as the state treasures
had the right 60 do according to law.
Judge Pipes, In long argument,
cited many authorities showing that
the state money was on deposit as a
"bailment''-that Is for safe keep
ang and should not have been touch
cd. Both sides ahen, in turn. read
case after case giving authorities 10
prove their contention. H rs,
McCamant's Argument.
Immediately upon the oonvening
OF court this morning In the trial of
]. Thorburn Ross, Attorney Wallace
McCamant plunged Into the argu.
ment upon which the defense evil
IDENTIFY has based its entire case.
That Is, that the deposit made by
State Treasurer George A. Steele
with the Title 0uaranteeA& Trust
company was general deposit like
any other deposit. subject to check,
and was not In nature of loan TO
the bank or to its officlals nor bail
inent.
J McCamant argued for hours aud
cited abundant authority TO substaR-
tlate his contention that when the
funds in the bank he became debt
or of the bank and not bailee;
that the bank was the creditor OF Mr..
Steel and not ballor. In order TO
make this contention stand Mr.. Nc
Camant also undertook to show by
decision OF the supreme court OF Ore
gon the state treasurer was author
lied to deposit the funds In the
bank. Both these points of law have
a portentous bearing on the case OF
the defense and the decision OF
Judge Burnett Is awaited with con-
interest.
Practically no evidence was heard
by the jury today. Mr.. Steele was
called but being absent from the
court room Ben Olcott, expert ac-
count and custodian OF the books
~ the bank was on the stand q few
minutes. He was released and Mr..
Steele called as soon as Mr.. Steele
appeared In court. When the treas
urer was asked To testify that he de-
posted funds In the defunct bank
The defense objected and the argu-
ment OF Mr.. McCamant was begun
that lasted throughout the morning
session and we'll into the afternoon.

SENATOR ROSS
Ross Trial Tuesday
CONTINUED from pag conc. !

Ross TriaI Tuesday.
| 1 The trial of j. Thorburn Ross. in.
dicted president of the defunct Title
Guarantee a Trust company OF
Portland, began In deadly earnest
this morning in the circuit court be-
fore probably the largest array OF
legal talent ever gathered together
In a local court to try single case.
White only Wallace McCamant of
Portland and VIM. Kaiser of this city
were the only attorneys for the de-
tense, the prosecution was repre-
sented by District Attorney Man
ming, Assistant District Attorney
Bert Haney, Martin L. Pipes, all OF
Portland, and Attorhey General
Crawford. District Attorney John II.
| McNary and Assistant District At
torney Chas. II. McNary.
The examination OF witnesses
came to abrupt stop shortly after
they had begun and the best part
OF the morning was consumed in a
hot argument between the attorneys
as to whether testimony could be In
troduted showing that the defend
ants, personally, not the bank, had
received the state moneys. and
whether the money so deposited was
an ordinary commercial deposit or
had been placed In the bank for safe
keeping. II
The prosecution desired to provo
that the indicted officials were re-
sponslble. personally, for the s2Ss,-
600 state money alleged to have been
converted, and that such funds were
not commercial deposits. and should
not have been loaned out.
Ben w. Olcott, duly appointed
custodian OF the papers OF the de.
funct institution. was the first wit
ness placed on the stand He testi-
fed merely formally that he had
been appolted by the United States
court. He was asked by Judge Pipes
IL he had certain papers In his pos
session which would show that the
s2SS,0O0 of state money had been
deposited with the bank Olcott tes-
tilted that he had. but ag II would
take some time TO get the necessary
data together, he was temporarily
released from the stand and state
Treasurer Charles A. steele was
called
steele was allowed two perfume
tory questions as to his official tlt'e
but as quickly as Judge Pipes asked
him N he had given the money to
the defendant and his co-ofiicers for
deposit with the Title Guarantee and
Trust Company. McCamant was on
hisfeet with an objection He stated
that he would object TO any ques-
tioning tending 20 show that the
moneys bad been deposited with
Ross or the Other indicted officials
as distinguished from the bank.
proper Judge Pipes replied that he
believed it was In order TO, and that
he would. show that Ross. as presl-
dent. Hill. as vice president. Altchi-

The pictures of Hayden M. White,

are appearing exclusively in the dem
ocratie papers of Wyoming. The
pictures represent a fine looking man

too much collar and eye glass there
for ii congressman, so we guess Mr..
White had better stay at home and
edit the Voice a little longer.
