the court proceedings went on. When
the case was finally settled, the new

During the month of March. 1919.
there were 1873 cases in the district

were consolidated and the entire
batch vas soon cleared from the dock

the method Of procedure had been
established.
The accused prisoner was placed on
the stand and but two questions were
asked him He was asked firstly If
he performed his duties on the Sab

THE BOSTON EXPERIMENT

There was a double aim in the elec-
ton system tried for the first time IN
Boston Tuesday. First, it was intend
ed that nominations should be Tree
from the dictation of party machines
and party bosses and that the sentl-
ment and opinion of citizens should de-
termine the choice of nominees. Sec
ond. If was intended that each citizen,
having to vote only for mayor and
members of the city council, in whom,
especially in the former, very great
mowers are conferred, should be able
easily and intelligently to express his
own preferences at the polls. Both
these aims it is extremely desirable to
accomplish, and the method devised to
attain them was the fruit of much
careful study. The system, at its hrs,
trial, failed almost absolutely. With
reference to the mayor, whose -offlce
is by far the most important, and in
which the concentration of power and
responsibility was suited to make the
choice of the voters clear and practical,
the failure was complete.

FOR A LATER INAUGURATION

A measure shifting the date of the
presidential Inauguration from March
to the last Thursday in April has been
renorted by a unanimous vote from the
house committee on the judiciary.
When that celebrated committee OF
constitutional experts can come 10
nerfect agreement on any subject it is
time to sit up and take notice It's
unanimity in approving a much needed
change in our political calendar ought
to overpower those worshipers OF the
old order who have sneered at the pro-
posed innovation as an effeminate ex-
pedient ito prevent congressman from

cent heroic demonstration of the pos
sibilities of bareback March weather
has possibly made precautions against

dignity and prudence. At all events. a
rectification of our infelicitous political
! calendar looks nearer than it ever has

| overcome but inertia, and inertia is not
the force which it used to be in con-
gress. We are glad to see that the
| judiciary committee has not confined
| its attention to the simple problem OF
giving the Inauguration pageant more
attractive open-air setting. That alone
would be a decided gain, for the inau-
guration of a president is an important
national ceremony. 1t draws hundreds
of thousands of people to Washington
some in the line of official or military
duty and the rest as spectators. Since
the present date is unsuitable and a
far better date can be provided without
any special embarrassment, it is only
sensible to try to make the occasion
one of greater comfort and added inn
pressiveness.

LONGEVITY.

There is perhaps no other subject

much of the attention of the scientists
as that of promoting length of human
life. From every civilized country
come reports of investigations being
made by those interested in the SUD
iect. and there seem to- be ABOUT as
many theories as there are persons IN

that is concerned, there has never peeli

AVOIDING MUNICIPAL SERVICE

The surprise of Mayor Gaynor OF
New York over the unWilllngness to
serve of the men whom he would like to
appoint to responsible positions in his
administration is evidence that he is
new to the executive business. That
situation is not peculiar to the metro
polis. It prevails in all our large NUM-
cipalities and appears to be steadily
growing more acute. Local patriotism
is not so dependable a quantity as it
was even a quarter of a century ago.
The men of large business affairs IN
New York do not feel that they can
afford to give their talents to the ser
vice of the city at the prevailing sal
aries.

Tor the defense in resting so suddenly
created great surprise 1t developed
that the experts summoned to examine
and testify as to the insanity of the
defendant positively refused to go on
the stand and say he is or was insane
The experts, DR.. M. F. Settlers of Spo-
kane and DR.. l.. B. Harvey of COlville,
spent several hours with Logan last
fright and their opinionfi voiced by DR..
, Settlers, is that 1--WE could not go on
the stand and say as medical experts
that Logan is suffering from PAN

Today had promised to be the big
gest day of the trial since it was an
nounced that Logan himself would
take the stand, and then the sudden
collapse of the defense was all the
tmore sensational Counsel for the pro-
secution and the defense suggested
that the case go to the jury without

TURKISH PALACE BURNS WITH
LOSS OF SIXTEEN MILLIONS

CONSTANTINOPL Jan. 19.-The
palace Of Charagan, where the Turk
ish parliament meets, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire today The building
alone cost $16,000,000.
The fire is believed to have been due
to defective heating apparatus, al
though there have been reports that
reactionary agents were responsible
for it,
A strong wind famed the flames
which spread rapidly. Little furniture
and few of the important documents
were saved. Practically all the arch
ives of the chamber of deputies were
burned.
What few effects were saved were
taken from the palace by sailors
stationed at the legation, principally
Russians and Americans, who were
first to arrive. Superstitious orient
ais regard the fire as an evil omen

A1suRplriEs OF TARIFF.

A case was taken to the courts be-
cause the wool duty had been assessed
Or sets of furniture which had chair
coverings made of cloth that contained
wool. The assessment was on every
pound of weight of the furniture.
A pair of wool-lined rubber boots
may be taxed by the pound as if made

A man from Boston bought some
scrap rubber in Canada, which he sup
posed was classified under the free list

York, on the way into the United
States and then the custom officials
valued his material at $400 and as

Der scrap, containing some wool fiber,
was charged by the pound under the
wool waste clause of schedule X.
A manufacturer of paper, importing
cotton rags for paper stock, in which
skreds of wool were found, was as

came under the wool rates.

of the office staff of the board, al
though the law which provided that
the land was for the use and ben

This assertion and the manner in
which applications for school land and
assignments thereof are alleged to
have been secured by wholesale among
the slums of Portland, were among the
interesting features today of the trial
Of Binger Hermann, former congress-
man, on a charge of conspiracy to
defraud the government of part of the
public domain. Today's session of
the United States district court where
the trial is proceeding was on the
whole an entertaining one, but an

to the stand and identified lists of
indemnity selections Of unsurVeyed
lands located in the Blue mountains

the Maury mountains, which after
ward were included in a forest re-

E. P Mccormack, an attorney of
Salem, Oregon, testified that in several
instances where sections or parts of
sections allotted to the state school
fund in the proposed Blue mountain
reserve had never been surveyed he in
stituted proceedings before the school

selections by the board of surveyed
land situated in the Maury mountains,

he filed applications on Maury noun
tain sections and turned over the
blank assignments to w. N. Jones.

ney of Portland testified that in 1901.
when acting as deputy under County
Auditor Wilson T. Hume in 1901, he
affixed his notary seal of applications
and assignments in blank at the re-
quest of George Serenson. Fitzgerald
explained that Sorenson was client
of Hume's and that he called Soren-
sons attention. to the fact that appli-
cations were not filed out He said
Sorenson assured him that it was "al'
right" that Sorenson was in a hurry
at the moment and would attend to
the filling of them out later at his
leisure.
George Sorenson, the only one of the
defendants convicted under the indict-
