INITIATIVE and
REFERENDUM ARE
DECLARED Valid

WASHINGTON. Feb. 19 The
cause of direct legislation by the
people won a decisive victory today
when the supreme court declared
constitutional by implication the in
itiative and referendum amendment
to the Oregon constitution. 1t re-
fused to take jurisdiction of the
test suits contesting the validity of
the legislation.
Many states in which agitation for
direct legislation is before the peo-
pie are affected by the decision
today Oregon's courts declared con-
stitutional the initiative and refer
endum in two cases heard. One of
the cases was brought by the Pa
cific Coast Telephone and Tele-
graph company, which refused to
pay a tax of per cent on its an
nual gross receipts, provided by
a law adopted by the people under
the direct legislation amendment. 1t
held that the initiative and refer
endum was repugnant to the fed
eral constitution.
Frank Herman, OF Portland,
brought the other suit, lighting a
sale of bridge bonds by the city,
contending that the city charter
provision for such sale adOpte0 nm
der the initiative, was not "repub-
lican government"-usin the term
republican" in its broad sense.
Justice White delivered the opin-
ion of the court
The issues are political and gov
ernmental and not therefore within
the reach of the judicial power" he
said. 1T follows that the case pre-
sented is not within our jurisdicial
power" he said. 1T follows that
the case presented is not within our
jurisdiction and the writ of error
must therefore be and it is dismissed
for want of jurisdiction"
The decision of the court was
unanimous.
The decision today leaves the
Oregon laws in free and untram-
meled operation until some hinder
ing action is taken, if at all, by
Congress.

PAPERS In RAY CASE GONE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. - Search
for missing papers in the case of
Major Beecher B. Ray, U. S. A..
paymaster at Chicago, has been be-
gun by the house committee on ex-
penditures in the war department.
That there have disappeared GER
tain documents and correspondence
relating to charges against Ray
when he was paymaster in the
Philippines, Chairman Helm and
other members of the committee are
satisfied, and to find the originals
is their intention.
The committee today after con-
ferring with Adjutan1 General Aims
worth, retired, learned that copies of
some of the missing papers, if not
all of them, were in existence. Later
it was reported that in the Ray case
certain persons attached to the war
department had carefully kept cop
les of correspondence, anticipating
that the originals might be spirited
away.

ing will be the rendition by Mrs
Williams of Ellis Parker Buffers
screamingly funny sketch entitled
How Mrs. Dugan Made Six Dozen
Lamp Chimnas Out of Twelve Emp
Y Champagne Bottles" Those who
have read this epic of humor will
appreciate its possibilities in the
hands of one capable of properly
rendering it, and Mrs Williams, who
attained an enviable reputation on
the boards Outside as an Irish char
acter delineator, is said to be sim
ply Irresistible in the part. To these
as well as to those who will hear
the sketch for the first time,

Death BY THE Law
VOIDS life INSURANCE

WASHINGTON, Feb 19. - Death
by the hand OF the law vods all
life insurance policies Of the Grim
inal. The supreme court so held
today in the fight of the children
OF James S. McCue, mayor of Char
lotteville. Va, who was executed for
the murder of his wife in 1905. A
policy for $4,000 was carried by
McCue in the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance company of Wiscon-
sin.
The United States circuit court of
appeals held that the policy was
made in Wisconsin and under the
Wisconsin laws was not annulled
by the execution on the gallows.
The supreme court today held that
the policy was not to go into effect
until the payment of the premium
which was made in Virginia. and,
therefore, that the policy as made
in Virginia and was not governed
by Wisconsin laws.
After reviewing the cases in the
federal courts and in the courts of
Virginia the court announced that
this policy in both federal and Vir-
ginia jurisdiction demanded that
death by the law should void life
insurance

Three SHOT DURING TRIAL

SHELBYVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 10
Having secured only one victim in
the first attempt to slaughter three
negroes as they were being taken
from the courtroom to the Jail here
today, mob broke into the sheriff's
office, where two wounded blacks
had been taken and fired upon them.
Still two of them are alive, but it is
feared the mob will storm the Jail
late tonight and finish its work.
Evidence that the blacks killed
Special Officer S. W. Everson of
the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis railroad, was so strong at the
preliminary hearing this afternoon
that the three We're bound over to
a higher court.
AS they were being taken down
the courthouse steps the mob at
tackled the sheriff and six deputies,
killed one of the blacks and badly
beat the others
The negroes were hurriedly taken
into the sheriff's office nearby, and
the sheriff stationed himself at the
door,
Reports sent out from the office
that all the negroes were dead were
not believed by the mob members,
and at 4 o'clock they stormed the
office. The sheriff was captured,
and one member CT the mob broke
down the door of the room in which
| the blacks were huddled and opened
fire. Each of the wounded prison
ers were struck.
