JURY MAKES RECORD
FINES AUTOISTS SIS

Although the charges were Of a
trivial nature, the nine indictments
returned last week by the grand jury
against the drivers Of automobiles on
charges alleging speed IN excess OF
the "a mile per hour limit, provided by
the state law, created as muehtinterest
as any other legal proceeding that
ever took place in Hood River county.
When the cases we're called Friday
morning ~. S. Nichol, among those
indicated, plead guilty, 10 order to
avoid the waste of time in trying the
case, as he asserted, and received a
fine of SIS.
The trial Of J. A. Eppng was made
test case. The proceedings because
Of theRwitnesses TO be questioned and
the large amount of evidence that was
introduced became very lengthy and it
was 5 o'clock in the afternoon before
the case was turned over 10 the jury.
At six, when a recess for dinner was
had, the iurymen had reached no
decision. A large crowd gathered to
hear the verdict, thinking that after a
repast, the decision would SOON be
forthcoming. However. the audience
dwindled!away and at twelve o'clock,
with the court room silent. the twelve
men still sat in the deliberative cham
bers undecided. 1t Is understood that
at first there were 5 OF the jurymen
who.held the belief that the testimony
adduced did not prove beyond a doubt
the guilt of the defendant. This
minority became smaller in the "wee
sma' hours" However, the jury re-
mained chung" till o'clock Saturday
morning, .when vredict of guilty was
returned.and a fine of SIS was assessed.
1t is understood that the jurymen who
thought that the jury would have to sit
until verdict of guilty or not guilty
was reached, and, not desiring TO
spend eternity in the jury room, finally
gave in.
With the exception of Charles
Evans, who proved an alibi, and Lou
Baldwin, who was not located by the
authorities, all of the other accused
automobile owners. among whom were
E. II. Pilson, l.. d. Firebaugh. w. T..
Sheldon, Burt Jayne and G. Y Ed
wards. submitted their cases and re-
.ceived fines of the same amount as
was assessed in the test case.
Among the witnesses in the test case
was Judge Geo. ID. Cnlbertson, who on
the day the county authorities timed
passing automobiles. was driven over
the valley by Mr.. Epping and was in
the car at the time it was alleged to
have been exceeding the speed limit.
The officers appointed by the county
to time the automobiles measured a
portion of the public highway. In
order to allay the suspicion of drivers
the men carried tools as if they were
working the road. Stakes were driven
at either end of the measured distance
and the time of the passing machines
caught by means of stop watches and
signals. Expert evidence was adduced
in court to show the inaccuracy of
obtaining the correct time by means
of single stop watch.

this Is not the time for efforts TO har-
monlze the party, and denying that
the Barton committee is a Democratic
committee, Maj Vertrees finally de
clines the whole proposition in these
words:
Like you, I rejoice in the prospects
Of Democratic victory. Nothing any
one can say or do can change my De
mocracy or keep me from voting the
ticket, and If what you have said to
me is your real desire, and, of course,
l assume it is, nothing can say, do
or refuse to do can prevent you from
continuing to rejoice in the prospects
we have. The fact that you think
the way to make certain Of success
is to have committees to pow WOW in
which you say you represent the par
ty and | represent a faction, and I
think the way to secure success is to
let the people alone, certainly for
awhile, la no reason both Of us can.
not continue to rejoice at the pros
poets Of Democratic success, and
vote the ticket when the right time
comes. I have not considered the
merits or demerits Of the plan you
suggest. When the time comes the
committee I represent will take the
usual steps to have the Democrats of
Tennessee, either In convention or
primaries, as they may prefer, 10 ex-
press their choice. Every sincere,
real Democrat will certainly be cor
daily invited to participate, but at
present l deem it unwise to adopt the
course you advise"

AS predicted exclusively in The
Herald, Maj. Veruees of the Patter-
son-Taylor State committee, has turn
ed the harmony proposition OF the
Democratic committee down cold and
hard. The Majors reply appeared in
this mornings (the frst) issue OF the
new Nashville paper, just as this pa
per stated it would And it was an
emphatic turn down for the PROPOSE
ton to harmonic the party.
The reply manifests that spirit Of
intolerance, OF don't care a rap for
the temperance Democrats that has
been characteristic of the Vertrees
committee from the first. In fact 1t
tells the Democrats if they want har-
mony they must confess their sins,
apologize for voting for Hooper. and
60 down on bended knees and accept
whatever the Vertrees committee
may offer them. 1t dispels all hope
Of party harmony.
Although busy all the time in TO
menting political strife the Patterson
leader tells the Democratic commit
tee that the people are tired OF poll
tics and that they will get together
upon the terms OF the liquor COM
mittee at the proper time. The re-
ply was not unexpected but it will be
a great disappointment to thousands
of Democrats in the State who had
sincerely hoped for party peace.

BUT NOT HURT
BIPLANE RUDDER REFUSES TO
WORK AND MACHINE COMES
COMES DOWN.

ALTA, Cal, Sept. 1S.-Aviator
Bob Fowler, en- route from San
Francisco to New York, met with the
first mishap of his cross-coninent
aerial voyage here this MOI ming
when, in trying to make a landing,
necessitated by refractory engine
and steering gear, his biplane collid.
ed with two trees, hurting it to the
ground and slightly iniuring the bird
man. Both planes and the two pro-
pellers were broken and Fowler will
be delayed here for at least two days
before he can resume his eastern
journey.
Before leaving Auburn this Morn
ing, Fowler had his first trouble with
his engine when a wire of the mag
neto circuit pulled out The wore
was repaired, but it is believed that
it was this defect which caused the
later trouble.
In explaining his mishap, Fowler
said his steering rear had suddenly
become blocked when he was arew
miles from the scene Of the accident,
and he was helpless to direct his
course, At the same time his ele-
waiting plane refused to work, and his
efforts to control the biplane resulted
in the disconnecting of the defective
magnetic wire which had given troub-
e earlier in the morning.

drift.
One extreme follows another,
and the pendulum never swings
farther one way than another,
and that being the case, a wet
spring and summer may be ex-
