 Little Rock, Sept. 3O.- Attor. ney General Moose delivered ar interesting opinion Monday af. ternoon to Prosecuting Attorney c. M. Erwin of the Third Cir. cult, located at Newport, in an swer to a question whether it would be lawful for a liquor dealer located in this state, to write to prospective customers Tn dry territory in Arkansas, personal. individual typewriter letters, soliciting orders for li- Quor. He says:
 'The Act of 1907, making it unlawful for liquor dealers to so- lic:t orders for intoxicating liq- uors, provides that it shall be unlawful for such dealers, in any manner to solicit such or ders through agents, circulars, posters or newspaper advertise ments.'
 "The act does not say it shall be unlawful to solicit orders through letters. The word cir cular' is defined by Webster's dictionary as follows: "A circu- lar letter or paper, usually print ed, copies of which are address, ed or given to various persons {: as a business circular A per- sonal letter is not the same as a circular letter, and if the leg islature had intended to make it unlawful for a dealer to so- licit orders for liquor by writ ing a personal letter, it would have been easy to have stated so.
 'Inasmuch as the statute is penal it should be strictly con- strued, and it is my opinion that a personal letter written by a dealer into dry territory, solic~ iting an order for liquor would not be a violation of the statute above mentioned"

JURY ACQUITS
 WILL CAROUTHERS
Case Was Hard Fought By Both Sides and Jury Was Out
 Ninety Eight Hours.

The jury in the case of Will liam H. Carouthers after being in session seven days and delib- erating for ninety-eight hours over the guilt or innocence of the defendant, returned a yer dict into court Monday evening at 7:30 o'clock of mot guilty" The defendant was present in court with a number of his at torneys and his elation was as evident as natural as he shook the hands of the members of the jury which vindicated him.
 The verdict came as a surprise to both sides for upon the one hand had come rumors that on- ly a few were holding out for conviction whereas upon the other hand. the jury was said to be strong for conviction and be- tween these extremes, other re- ports ran that indicated hopeless confusion and division with little prospect of a verdict.
 The jury was worn out by it's long confinement. Some of its members declared they were half sick and close to nervous breakdowns and complained of the quarters in which they were confined for the nights, the twelve jurors and two bailifs being given sleeping quarters in two small rooms with only one window each, where the air be- came oppressive for lack of ventilation sufficient for so many men. When the jury first retir- ed, the body stood 8 for a peni- tentiary sentence, varying from murder in the second degree to manslaughter, and 4 for acquit- tai. As they continued in de- liberation from day to day the number for acquittal gradually increased until the final after noon, when only few held out for conviction. That night after the evening meal, the jury reach ed a unanimous verdict and was not long in communicating the fact to the court.

 ansas, was shot and seriously
 wounded Saturday evening while
 on a 'possum hunt, by a man
 named Ollie Dye, an employe of Crider's, working in his black smith shop, says the Jonesboro Tribune.
 | Young Crider testifes that af- ter the hunt, while returning home, 'possum was tracked to a tree about three quarters of a mile from town. Dye instructed the young man to climb the tree and locate the game, which he did and was descending to the ground when he discovered that Dye had the gun leveled upon him. Crider screamed for him to take the gun off of him, but was answered with an oath and was told that he (Dye) did not care if he did have the gun point ed at him. Dye fired and the boy fell to the ground with a badly mangled thigh. The vic- tim ran three quarters of mile and then; fell exhausted from the loss of blood. A large crowd gathered in answer to- his cries for help, and went in pursuit of Dye. The wounded boy and the citizens believe it wasdone inten- tionally,, while on the contrary it is bitterly denied and. Dye states he much regrets, the accident. Dye was arrested and placed in jail, the preliminary hearing being called for Monday after noon at Minturn.
 The young man is getting along as we'll as could be expect ed.

Evidence Nearly Completed.

 Little Rock, Sept. 3O.-All ev.
 idence in the dispute between
 the retailers of lumber in Arkan. sas,. and the manufacturers, vii
 be completed before Special Mas. ter Wallace by Thursday unless the wholesalers are unable tc produce some Of their witnesses and ask for further time. Nc matter what the decision of Mas ter Wallace may be an appeal will be taken by the losing side to Judge Trieber, in the Federal ; Court.
 1 The dispute is concerning the rebate due for shipments on lum- Der in the state while the court tariff was in effect. The lumber was billed by the miller to the re- taller, and the retailer paid the freight, but was credited with the amount on his bill. The mil Ter had made an advance in the price of the lumber to care for the difference in the freight be- tween the railroad commission tariff and that approved by the Federal court, which was charg- ed by the railroads until the case was finally settled.
 When the state won the decis- ion, and the railroads were or dered to refund the difference between the two tariffs, the millers and retailers both set up a claim to the rebates. There were number of wholesalers and manufacturers who signed over their rights to the retailers, but others refused to do so, and the retail dealers filed an inter- vention in the claims filed by the wholesalers, which is now being heard. Considerable testimony has been taken on both sides, and the retailers have practical ly concluded their case.

Neglectful Son Allows County to
Care for Mother.

~'Nt3A~NSAuA hCOh 1hhONS SOuhtH W
Care for Mother.
Mail Tribune: Failure of her son
to contribute toward her support, al
though he is an able-bodied man and
unmarried, will result in Mrs. Ke-
ziah c. Goodell, aged so, who resides
at 515 West Eleventh street, going
to the county poor farm. Judge Tou
Velle today made arrangements for
her care there. Her daughter, Mrs
Nettie B. Bier, more than SO years of
age, who is suffering from inflamma-
tory rheumatism, will also be taken
to the county farm.
Mrs. Goodell has no criticism to
make OF her sons neglect of her, evil
IDENTIFY excusing it all in her wealth
of mother love. She keenly feels
going to the poorhouse, but realizes
that that is all that is left for her.
For her daughter, Mrs. Bier, who has
taken care of her for several years
anu VINO uoes not now only because
she is too ill, she has the highest
words of praise. They will be taken
to the poor farm Thursday.
Oscar G.. Goodell, the son, is en-
ployed at klamath Falls and is we'll
known here, having worked on sew
eral of the ranches in the valley.
Some time ago he left his mother and
sister and has not assisted them.
When Mrs. Bier became i'll two
months ago they wrote to Oscar, tell
ing him that he must help them or
they would have to go to the poor
house. He has never answered the
letter.
"The case is most pitiable," states
Judge Tou Velle. MRS. Goodell is
fine old lady, one a man should be
proud of as a mother. Mrs. Bier has
done all she could, but illness has
added to the misfortune surrounding
them. The son, who is able-bodied,
is the one who should help, but ap-
parently he is unwilling"

INSTANT ACTION NEEDED.
Autoists Complain of Condition OF
Road.

That the authorities of the county
and the business men of the cities
of Jackson county must get busy at
once if the Pacific highway is to be
maintained through Jackson county
is evidenced from the conversation
of every tourist coming over the
mountains. They are a unit in stat
ing that the road is fairly good until
the state line is reached, but from
there to Ashland it is fierce. 1t is
not only very uneven but very
muddy and not properly drained. A
tourist who came over his his car
yesterday states that there are sew
eral fords this side of Cole which
are almost impossible because stones
have been left in the stream in the
roadway. If these were removed he
stated that the road would be much
improved.
The proposed new road is all
right, but it is vitally necessary that
the present road be put in as good
shape as possible at once, as every
northbound tourist who kicks on the
condition of the road is doing just
that much more to help the cause of
klamath county and eastern Oregon
in their attempt to get the Pacific
and National highway changed.

6S SAILOR LADS.
Three Cars Jackies Pass Through
Ashland Wednesday.

Three cars of sailor lads just out
of the naval training station at
North Chicago passed through Ash
land Wednesday afternoon on No. 10,
en- route to Mare Island navy yard
for assignment to duty on the Pacific
coast fleet. They were in charge of
Chief Quartermaster ]. Trayer of the
U. S. navy. Mr.. Trayer spoke very
highly of the boys and said they were
one of the likeliest punches he had
ever assisted in training They spent
day in Portland and were granted
the privileges of the Y. NJ. c. A.
baths, etc.
An interesting episode occurred
during their stop in Ashland. Rev.
Father Moissant was at the depot
and one of the boys stepped up to
him and asked him if he was not
formerly an instructor in st. Viateus
University in Chicago. The sailor
lad was Alfred Gunderlach, a for
mer pupil of Father Moissant at the
university, and they enjoyed a brief
visit while the train was here.

REPORT new COAL FIND
Samples of Coal PlOwed Up Within
the City Limits and On EX-
hibitiOn in the City.

f. J. McWilliams has now on ex-
hibition at his real estate office SAM
pies of coal which were plowed up
by John Moreland while plowing on
his place within the city limits. That
there is coal in the Rogue River VAL
ley has long been known, but all
found so far Is in such broken strata
that it has not been found profitable
to mine Many believe, however,
that if shafts were sunk deeper
large body of coal would be found.
In this connection, the offer of
Denver capitalists to contract the
output of coal to the extent of ten
cars per day is interesting but not
important. The demand for coal, if
of merchantable quality, in the
Rogue River Valley alone would
soon far exceed that and it could be
profitably shipped to the Willamette
Valley.
The crying need of the valley is
coal. 1t would permit the develop
ment of the kaolin beds and various
other resources which are now of lit
tie value. 1t is to be hoped that the
present finds may speedily be devel-
oped into producing mines One pro-
ducing mine would be worth hun
dred prospects.

S. S. BASEBALL LEAGUE
Ashland to Have Organization of
Ball Teams Representing the
Various Sunday Schools.

There was a meeting of commit
tees from three of the Sunday
schools held Monday evening to or
ganize a Sunday school baseball
league in Ashland. The representa-
tives of the various churches we're:
Baptist, V. o. N. Smith, Bob Spencer
and Neil Shinn; Methodist, John
Rigg and Professor West; Christian,
Kenneth Lily and --.
1t was decided at this meeting to
call another to be held next Monday
evening, to which each Sunday
school in the city is invited to send
one representative who shall be the
manager of their team. The first
game of the season for the league
will be played Wednesday of next
week between the teams of the Bap-
tist and Methodist Sunday schools,
and it will be the first official game
of the season. 1t is expected that
the games will be played on the high
school grounds if they can be Sc
cured.
The three schools represented
Monday night will go ahead with the
league, but hope to secure the CO.
operation of the other churches. 1t
. is hoped that at least two more
teams will be organized.
This is no experiment, as church,
Sunday school and Y. M. G. A.
leagues are very common throughout
the middle west as we'll as in many
of the coast cities, and have proven
of great value in creating interest in
church and Sunday school work
among the younger men.
There will be a charge of 10 cents
at the game next Wednesday to de-
fray expenses. The game will be
called at o'clock.
