EMIL SCOTT IS
NOW At LIBERTY
tFrom Thursday s Advertisor)

(From Thursday IS, Advertiser)
When the prosecution rested its ease
in the Emil Scott trial yesterday morn
ing, Attorney Humphreys for the
defense made motion for directed
verdict, and in the afternoon this mo-
ton was granted.
The case grew out of the fight ON
the R. @. Slade several months ago be-
tween union and non-union men. Scott
was charged with assault ON the high
seas.
After the defense rested yesterday
morning, Attorney Humphreys asked
for a directed verdict on the ground
that the prosecution had failed to show
the ship was owned by Americans.
Judge Dole took the matter under adj
visement until two O'Clock and when
court reconvened at that hour the Jury
was instructed to bring in verdict Of
not guilty.
Denied Motion.
Attorneys for Hartman Henry,
found guilty of perjury before the
grand jury several days ago, presented
a motion for a new trial yesterday, but
the motion was denied by the court
Then a motion in arrest of Judgment
was filed, but this was denied also, and
Henry will at ten clock today appear
for sentence.
Louis Coadau charged with perjury
before the grand jury will come up
this morning for trial The jury will
be empaneled during the forenoon
Coadau is one of the men who have
been occupying the attention of federal
court recently, Hartman Henry and
Emil Scott being other members of the
trio mixed up in the fight on the
schooner R. G. Slade.

How 10 Keep Eggs
CONTINUED from last week

The packers generally begin 10 put
eggs in cold storage IN March and
April and store heavily until June.
Summer eggs, on account of their low
quality caused by lack OF Gaze druing
the hot weather, do not keep well in
cold storage and few Of them are stor-
ed therefore. In September some
times even in August. there begins a
teavy drain upon the eggs in the cold
storage halls and the stock is generally
cleaned out by December or January.
Much loss has been experienced by
holding eggs too long Early. warm
spring weather may increase the pro-
duction of eggs on the farm, and stor-
age eggs must be- sold at a loss. In
cleaning out the storage stock, the
summer eggs, that is. the eggs that
were put in last, always go out first.
while the early spring eggs go out last
This IL entirely opposed TO the usual
point of view of the consumer. II he
has to use storage eggs at all. he asks
those that have been In storage foTthe
shortest time. because ne thinks they
are Better than those that have been
stored two or three months longer. He
does not take into account the quality
OF the eggs when they were put into
storage.

INITIATIVE REFERENDUM AND
RECALL.

hA1OAl1
What are the initiative. the referen.
dunn, and the recallg
They are words in everybody mouth
just now but a pretty fair proportion
OF those who talk about them have only
vague idea of what they mean.
Summing them up. they may be said
20 be- three instruments whereby the
representative system Of government
80 long In use in this country will be
considerably enfeebIed and the people
may obtain a more direct control and
management OF the government than
they have ever had State after state
is adopting one or all of these new
measures. When the nineteenth cen
tury closed only one state had the in.
tiative and referendum now many
states have them. The recall did not
come Tito existence in America until
1905. but now the country is dotted
with communities where il is in force
and is actively used
All these three propositions are i'm
portations from Switzerland. where the
initiative and referendum have been in
force for half century, the recall not
50 long.
The states and cities that have
adopted these Swiss innovations have
varied and altered them to suit the
local taste so that definition OF the
referendum as IL exists III one state
does not always describe the same law
in another But the Fundamental
principles are always the same ana
may be summed up rs follows
I. The Initiative II certain per
.centage Of voters wish certain law
adopted they can submit IL 10 the leg
islature which must in turn, submit
IL 10 a referendum
.. The Referendum. II certain
number OF voters demand AN opportun.
ity to vote upon bill the legislature
must submit il 20 them. and the people
decide by vote whether II shall or shall
not become law, lyst as IN this state
they vote upon AN amendment 70 the
state constitution The referendum
can be demanded. not only on bills
previously proposed by the initiative,
hut upon bills which have their origin
in the legislature itself.
3. The Recall If certain percen-
tage OF voters demand the right to de-
oide whether public official shall
continue TO mold Office or must retire
to private life, the question must be
submitted 70 the people at an election.
IL they vote against him he must give
mp his office. whether the term for
which he was elected Is anywhere near
it's end or Is. just beginning
1.-THE initiative. said Henry James
Ford, OF Princeton university, in an
address before the Econoimc club OF
Boston, means simply this-that sec.
tions OF the people themselves shall
have the right 10 initiate legislation
and 10 solicit for il the approval OF
their fellow citizens. The referendum
means that II the legislature passes q
measure. that measure shall be referred
TO the people before IL becomes law.
And In Oregon the governor has nc
veto power over measures enacted by
the people themselves.
The operation and purpose OF the in
itiative and referendum were explained
in clear and lucid manner by the
highest court in Oregon Ia a case
known as oregon versus Pacific States

BANDITS RESIST CAPTURE.
German Burglars are Making Stiff
Fight Against Capture.

Nauen, Germany. May22.-The ex-
ample of the Apaches, who recently
terrified Paris and its environs, has
been quickly followed by some Ger
man criminals here. Two OF them de-
tected last night while committing
burglaries, dashed to their bicycles,
which had been left outside the house
On the way they were confronted by
a policeman, whom they shot dead.
They then rode away as rapidly as
possible, but the people pursued them
firing at the criminals as they fled.
One of the bandits was wounded
by shot and his comrade then delib.
erately killed him to prevent his own
capture and possible betrayal. The
surviving burglar continued the bat
tie against some hundreds Of armed
police and countrymen until he was
finally shot dead
Such resistance to the authorities
by German criminals has hitherto
been extremely rare.
