This afternoon at O'Clock. Col.
]. H. Raley for the dependant and
District Attorney Fred Steiwer for
the state will argue a motion for the
quashing of the Indictment returned
by the recent grand jury against
John p. McManus, veteran editor of
Pilot Rock, who is charged with the
larceny of grain. The motion was
flied this afternoon and calls for the
quashing of the indictment on the
grounds that 1t failed "wholly to es-
tablish criminal or felonious intent
upon the part of the defendant" and
for the further reason that the indict-
ment does not contain the names OF
several witnesses and one material
witness examined by the grand jury.
The motion is supported by an af-
fidavit signed by r. r. johnson, who
Is one of the defendants attorneys,
in which he states that he was exam
ined by the grand jury and told the
jury that Mr. McManus had acted
upon the advice given by himself as
attorney. He states that the defend
ant had advised him that Sam Bar
low had stored some barley in house
on his (McManus) property and re-
fused to move 1t. Mr.. johnson AYERS
that he advised his client not to star,

CURFEW LAW WILL
Be ENFORCED HERE
Edict of Local W. C. T. U. is Endors.
ed by City CounciI-AII Under l8
Must go Home.

"Curfew shall ring forth tonight"
This is the edict of the local chap
ter of the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union and the council has en-
dorsed the edict by an announcement
that a curfew law will be strictly en-
forced and by instructions to the city
attorney to draw up a new ordinance
which will be more enforceable than
the present one.
A week ago the w. C. T. U. present
ed an ordinance to the council ask.
ing for the strict enforcement of the
curfew law in the interests OF the pro-
lection of the young boys and girls
of the city. The police committee
last night reported back recommend
ing that the law be enforced. A
number of the ladies' belonging to the
organization, however, were present
and objected to the present ordinance
because It defines the curfew hours as
from one half hour after sunset to ar
hour and half before sunrise. This
they thought was too definite.
Suggestions were made that the
evening CuTIew ring at CLOCK tnt
year around while others were fol
having 1t ring at in the winter and
in the summer. This matter will
however be decided at the next meet
ing at which time new ordinance
will be passed.
The ordinance will prohibit all boys
and girls under the ages of Is from
roaming the streets or lettering II
public places after the curfew toll.
in the evening The fire bell will be
used to ring out the curfew hour In,
asmuch as test Of the new alarm
system Is to be made each evening
anyway.
Mayor Matlock asked the ladies las
evening II the age of IS we're not 9
little advanced in defining those am
enable to the curfew law. "I hav,
noticed lately that quite a number O
young people under Is years hav,
been getting married. What are Vol
going to do about these?" he asked
Home is the place for such people

SEATTLE, Wash. Jan. 29.-While
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
took pains to inform his audience,
ed for the presentation of Seattle's
claim for bank. no significance
should be attached to any questions
by him or Secretary of Agriculture
Houston. it was evident the whole Pa
cific coast is to be included in one dis.
trict with central regional bank at
San Francisco. The proposed plan to
embrace Washington, Oregon. Idaho
and Montana as one district, received
National Rank of Commerce. repre-
senting the Seattle Clearing House as.
sociation. admitted there was little
trade relations with Idaho, oregon
and Montana
A further set back was experienced
when it developed from questions by
the organization committee. that ever
if the four states named were includ-
ed in one district the capitalization
of the National Banks at only a total
OF forty three million dollars would
! therefore be able to supply only two
and one half million of the necessary
| four million under the six per cent
terms of the law.
Governor Lister and Eugene Wilson
of Tacoma, also spoke The hearing
will conclude this afternoon and the
committee goes to Portland tonight.
Chief stress was laid by all the
speakers on behalf of Seattle's claim
for a central regional bank upon the
enormous business transacted with Al.
aska and the orient and the future
| possibilities, as they will be developed
| by the opening of the Panama canal
and the building OF the Alaska rail
road. Governor Lister carefully re.
viewed the tremendous growth of the
state of Washington and the Alaskan
trade. He read letter from Cover
nor Strong of Alaska in which the lat.
ter advanced Seattle's claim to a bank
| by the fact that more than rs per
cent of the business of the territory
was done through Seattle. and refer
red to letters from Governor Haines
of Idaho and Governor West of Ore
gon, in which they urged the location
of bank in the northwest
President Backus was the first
banker to address the committee, and
was most closely questioned He stat
ed that If Seattle didn't secure the
bank San Francisco would be his sec.

TAFT SAYS CANADA CAN
PROFIT BY OUR MISTAKES

TORONTO, Jan. 2s-"I sincerely
hope that our experience may give
you warning and cause you to take
prompter measures to prevent pluto
cracy reaching the danger point"
former President William H. Taft said
here in an address before the Literary
& Scientific society of the university
of Toronto.
The former president had dwelt on
the industrial expansion of Canada
and the probability that its people
would come face TO face with the
methods of corporate control existing
in the United States. Canada. he
said, had the advantage of profiting
by the mistakes made in the United
States and had already shown discre-
