Sits 16 Hours a Week
The court sits only four hours day on
-FOUR days of the week, but the cases
argued before the court during that time
are so involved that they require great
amount of study and conference off the
bench. Then too, beside the cases argued
very large number of cases involving
judicial consideration and decision are
submitted on printed and typewriter
briefs. Many of these records are long
and require most careful consideration
and a determination of complicated facts
on conflicting testimony. The result is
that the court is constantly occupied dur
ing its term and, indeed. has to take oc-
casional recesses in order to bring its
work up to date One of the judges of
the court said recently from the bench
that he had had but one days relief from
active work since the opening of the term
in October. The only relaxation which
the judges have is long summer vaca-
tion of from three to four months. The
court usually adjourns early in June and
reconvenes in the latter part of October.

"The Assistant Attorney General re-
Gently appointed by President Wilson,
who has charge of the defense in all
cases, has announced his purpose of re-
organizing the work of the defense in
such a way as to bring more cases be-
fore the court than have been on it's
doclxets for the last two or three years.
His idea is to bring the work of the
defense up to date. If this is DONE
1t is probable that the court will be
obliged to come back to active duty
early in October in order that the
docket may be cleared. 1t has been
the pride of the court of claims for q
number of years that cases prepared
on both sides are promptly heard and

Delays Are Frequent
THE general opinion that very great
delays occur in this court is only too
true but delay is, except in rare in
stances, not with the court. 1t is chief
ly in consequence of the inability of
the attorneys for the government to
prepare the defense with promptness
Their force Is limited, while the num-
Der of cases is very great. Delays
are consequently incurred which have
protracted the preparation of cases be-
yond what the interests of justice prop
erly require.
The. court has usually taken up cases
very promptly and disposed of them as
rapidly as the necessary careful con-
sideration of very long records will per-
NIT.

fore him for decision.
The Age-Herald is quite correct In
stating that the work is very agreeable

pose that 1t was not far greater, both in

DR.. SANDERS |SNOT
OFFICIAL OF STATE
And Need Not Repay His
Salary Increase
RULING BY GUNTER
Not Being State Official, Constitu-
tional Provision Against Increas-
ing Salary During Term
Does Not Apply

Montgomery, May 31.-(Special)-Dr w.
II. Sanders, health officer of Alabama,
Is not state official and the state can
not force him to return s2,333.1O alleged
to have been collected by him in excess
salaries in violation of the constitution
which says that no state officials salary
shall be increased or diminished during
his term
Castor Gunter judge of the city court,
made this ruling today when he sus-
tanned a demurrer to a suit entered by
the state. The state alleged that DR..
Sanders had no right to receive $1,000 a
year although his salary was increased
from 1920 by the state board of health
and that in the meaning of the constitu-
ton he was state official.
The defendants demurrer alleged that
he was an employe of the board of
health and not subject to the constitu-
tienal section. Consideration of the de-
murrer was taken up by agreement and
Judge Gunter Immediately ruled in favor
of the defendant The state will appeal
to the supreme court.
DR.: Sanders salary was increased just
before May 6, 1911 and the states suit
was for money collected between Nav 6,
1871 and April II, 1918. Examiners of
public accounts reported to the governor
that the health officer had no right to
accept the increased salary and this
caused the suit
When the case was called today alf
counts in the suit were withdrawn ex-
oept one which alleged that DIR. Sanders
was state official and thus could not
be paid more or less than the salary
fixed when he was employed. T. NJ.
Stephens of Mobile and John r. Tyson
of Montgomery represented the health
officer and Robert C. Brickell, attorney
general, and 7. H. Seay, assistant at
torney general, appeared for the state.

Return from ROdeo.

Fred Earle and Henry w. Collins,
directors of the Roundup who at
tended the Los Angeles Rodeo, return
ed to Pendleton last evening. Mrs.
Earle also returned home. but Mrs.
Collins will visit in Portland for a
short time before coming on to this
city. Both of the men declare the
somewhat because of the elimination
of the wild horse race, the bulldog
ging and the steer roping contests
made necessary by the humane So
ciety. The trick riding and the fancy
roping they declare the best they
have ever seen, all OF the very best
talent having assembled there. The
attendance was only fair, although on
the two Sundays the spectators num-
bered around the 1900 mark. In
stead of hurting the Roundup. the
Rodeo actually helps the local show
in the opinion of Mr.. Earle. Every
where we went he said, 1--WE were
'ked about the Roundup and the
people down there regard our show as
the one big frontier carnival. All
of the performers and contestants are
eager to take part in the show here
next fall" Roy Raley, who directed
the exhibitions at the Rodeo, is now
in Texas and Arizona considering the
advisability of staging the show
there.

BIG COUGAR SLAIN
=, BY ALBEE RANCHER

After terrOriZing the south end OF
the county for several years, outwit-
ting all efforts to slay him and exact
ing a heavy annual tribute from the
stockmen of that vicinity, a big cou-
gar fell Saturday before the rifle of
l. S. Sims, well known resident of
Albee. The animal measured ten feet
, inches from tip to tip and was three
feet high at the shoulder.
Mr.. Sims followed the trail of tha
beast all day Saturday until o'clock
when he came upon it at Carney Cab

road leading from Pilot Rock to Cam

ed its destructive career. The hunter
was aided effectively in his pursuit by
year-Old Airedale terrier, one of
the pups raised by E. F. Averill of this
city and secured by Mr.. Sims from ].
G. Miller bookkeeper at the Byers
mills.
The cougar has been a source of
trouble to the residents of the south
end of the county for the past few
years. Its inroads upon the herds of
the cattlemen have been heavy and
many times efforts have been made
to run the animal down but it proved
extremely elusive. 1t was during one
OF these chases several years ago that
Josh Clark met his death by his horse
railing with him and crushing him.
Mr. Sims was in Pendleton yester- |
day and stated that he had sold the
pelt of his kill to Elmer Syder, well
known farmer. The tusks of the anS |
imal were an inch and a half long. he
declared. So far this winter Mr.. Sims
has killed five lynx, one bob cat and
one cougar and he declares he is now
going after the mate of the animal
which he shot Saturday.

SENTENCED FOR
AIDING IN DEATH OF WIDOW

CALCUTTA, Dec. 1.-THE high
court of Allahabaa has emphasized its
condemnation of the practice of 'sut-
tee"-the burning of widow on her
husbands funeral pyre-by increas-
ing the sentence of two of the rela-
tives of a woman who thus recently
sacrificed herself. She was the wild
ow of wealthy Brahman and, ac-
cording to the ancient rite, which has
been prescribed by the Indian gov
ernment since 1929, caused herself to
be burnt alive on his pyre in the
presence Of the whole village, her
relatives assisting at the ceremonies.
Five of the later were arrested on
the charge of "abetting suicide and
were sentenced to imprisonment by
the trial court. In their appeal to the
high court they failed to substantiate
the defense that the fire was lighted
by supernatural means, the flames
descending from heaven, and the ap-
peal was promptly dismissed and the
increased sentence imposed.

WAR ON WOOD ALCOHOL

use of wood alcohol in remedies for
external application. department Of
agriculture officials declare. Their
attention has been called to report
by the New York committee on the
prevention OF blindness, which al
leges that half the cases Of eye weak
ness may be traced to the use by
BARRIERS of wood alcohol In bay rum
or other face lotions.
Under the definition Of drug in
the federal food and drug act. 1t Is
not possible for the authorities to
control cosmetics containing injurious
drugs and remedies for obesity and
leanness or to keep manufacturers
from putting wood alcohol into ex-
ternal applications. Authority should
be given, Secretary Houston declares,
to require statements of other drugs
than those which must now be de-
clared on the label.

into the receivership of the st. Louis
known as "The Frisco" road. That
railroad failed, a victim to high fl
nance. The Frisco directors and
bankers had formed syndicates to
buy or build connecting railroads
which they sold to the Frisco COM
pany at exorbitant prices, which
they were able to do because the same
acted for the purchasers and were
themselves the sellers. These tran
sactions yielded to the syndicate
profits Of from rs to 100 per cent on
the investment. Just stop a minute
and think of that. The banker men,
bers of the syndicate not only had
their share Of thesyndicate profits
but in addition received bankers
commissions on the sale of the Fris-
co securities issued to raise the money
for paying the syndicates. When the
road failed, the bankers who had
taken part in the looting controlled
the legal proceedings against the
road. Receivers appointed were
members of the syndicates. The H.
nanciers who looted the property
seem to be still in control of it. Per-
haps, therefore, inadequate freight
rates are not the main reason why
investors hesitate to buy railroad Sc
curities. Perhaps also this complete
exposure of the money trust comes
none too soon.
