PICTURE SHOW
 MEN ARRESTED
REFUSAL TO PAY CITY LICENSE RESULTS IN ARREST OF ALL
 THE PRoPRlEToRs.
Apply for Release Under Habeas Cor pus Before Chancellor Henderson
 and Cases Win Be heard Today.

Picture show operators. refusing to pay the regular city license of $20O per year, were arrested last night by officers of the city, and immedi- ately applied for release under habeas corpus before Chancellor Judge Hend- erson, who set the cases for 10 |o'ciock this morning.
 The city has endeavored to collect the regular city license as fixed in the ordinance covering the subject, for several days. The picture show men recently proposed an ordinance in the city council making their H. cense payable quarterly, at $50 per quarter. The ordinance met imme- diate defeat.
 Chagrined at this, the picture show men refused to pay the license, and made an arrangement to test the val idity of the city ordinance. They claim the license of $200 per year is excessive, and this will be their side of the issue in chancery court this morning.

HOWARD FORFEITS
 FOR WHOLE TERM
OPINION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL NoRWooD IS THAT HOWARD IS
 DisouALlFiED.
Punishment is Removal From Office Which Carries With it Removal
 For the Eentire Term.

Attorney General Hal Norwood, in response to a request for an opinion las to whether Albert Howard, remov- led from the constable's office, may serve if reelected at this special election, states that it is his opinion that Howard can not serve. Prosecu- tor ] B. Wood made the request of Mir. Norwood for an opinion, and while q number of cases were cited lin reference to the question, yet they were not quoted in the opinion. Assistant Prosecutor Scott Wood said yesterday: We have looked the question up closely, and it is the opinion that removal from the office lis interpreted as part of the punish ment, and therefore means for the entire term in which the offense was committed. We have not contended that Mir. Howard could be kept from office after the expiration of this term, if the people elected him. Our contention is that the penalty is re- moval for the term, and that there fore a removed officer can not evade the punishment fixed by law in the sentence.
 The letter from Attorney General Hal Norwood is as follows:
 July '. 1911. Hon. ]. B. Wood,
 rrosecuting Attorney,
 Hot Springs, Ark.
 Dear Judge Wood am in receipt of your communication or the 5tn inst in which you state that the constable of Hot Springs township was at the March term of the Garland Circuit Court indicted for malfeasance in of flee, convicted, and removed from of flee that a special election has been called to fill the vacancy. You state that the person who was removed is a candidate for reelection and you ask if he is now eligible to hold the office of constable for the unexpired term
 have the honor to reply that l think he is not. The removal of the officer was part of the penalty for the offense for which he was found guiltq. I think hes forfeits the office for the term, and not just for brief period pending an election.
 Yours very truly,
 HAL L.. NORWOOD,
 Attorney General.

SPRING SIX WEEKS LATE WANT STATE TO ADVERTISE
Ground Hog Saw His Shadow Yester-
day and Retired Disguised.

Despite the usual evidence given by
the swelling buds of lilac and wild cur
rant and the informal opening of the
fuzzy pussy willows, Spring will not be
here for six weeks more, for the
ground hog, venturing forth, with ques-
his winters retirement, looked about
and saw his dumpy shadow sharply
silhouetted on the dank ground yester-
day. This, so runs the legend, insures
three fortnights of more or less dis
agreeable weather, and, according to
well authenticated information given
out around the fireplace, has never
been known to fail.
Just why this duty should devolve
upon the grounding, is not divulged in
works of science, nor does history re-
cord the date upon which he began,
but it must have been a long time ago,
and presumably somewhere in the
Eastern United States, for the animal
is not native here and owes his repu-
tation accorded him at the mouth of
Tie EdSleIIleT VINO mas 1OllOWeQ the

Zoologically, grounding is not a
hog, but a rodent, or gnawing quad
ruped, first cousin to the rat, and the
largest living representative of the
squirrel family, and is of the common
est species of North American marmot
1t is known in many places as a wood
chuck. In size, it is from Is to 18
inches long, of very stout, heavy form,
with brownish and grayish tints above
and reddish brown below. 1t feeds
on vegetables of many kinds, bur-
'ows in the ground, and hibernates
n the winter like bear. In polite and
earned society it is usually referred
% as terrestrial and fossorial," but
hat is probably libelous and unwar-
'anted statement which is unneces-
'ary and unavoidable.

Bill Introduced i'm Legislature to Ap-
propriate $25, 900 For Literature.

SALEM, Or, Jan. 31.-By the pro-
ing by Representative Abbott of Multi
nomah, the office of State immigration
Agent is created and $25, 900 appropri-
ated for carrying on immigration ad-
vertising by the state for the next two
years. The measure contemplates the
appointment by the Governor of an
incumbent for the office within 80 days
of the passing of the act, whose term
shall be four years and who shall serve
without compensation.
1t is made the duty of the Immigra-
ton Agent to cooperate with the Ore
gon Development League and the De-
partment of Commerce of the Agricul-
tural College for the purposes men
toned. All offices, departments and
commissions shall be open and all rec
ords thereof available to the agent,
and he must deliver to the Secretary of
State by November 80, each year, a
report of the immigration advertising
work done. The bill was sent Abbott
by c. c. Chapman, manager of the
promotion committee of the Portland
Commercial Club, who says in an ac-
letter, that it represents
the conservative judgment of the pro-
m otion committee as to how the state
can best expend a small amount for
statistical and advertising purposes.
While the amount desired appropriat-
ed will by no means defray the cost of
publication of statistical bulletins to
be issued through the Agricultural Col
ege, bearing the stamp of authentic
ty of the state, says Mr.. Chapman,
The remainder of the money needed
,an be obtained by private subscrip- |
ion, and this responsibility the Port
and Commercial Club will assume.

Big Cougar.

Charles Adkins, William Illings-
being recently from Montana, had
quite an exciting time on the Wilson
river on Friday with a cougar, or
mountain lion. The animal set them a
merry chase which lasted for three
hours, but the plucky hunters kept on
it's trail. 1t was hard chase over
rough ground and through the thick
timber. The last attempt to avoid the
vigilance of the hunters was when the
couger crossed the river and was
followed by the dogs. 1t sought safety
in a tree, when it was soon shot. 1t
measured 10 feet, and weighed $50
pounds.-Tillamook Headlight.

possible, and in point of comfort, ele-

The management, besides furnishing
the ever popular moving pictures, has
engaged Mr.. Wilbur Ross, who for a

his voice attracted much attention.
Mr.. Ross is personally acquainted with
a number of Dallas people, especially

he was formerly Regimental Commits
