ring Factions.


Washington, Jan, l9.-According to
state department advices the flight OF
General Gutierrez from Mexico City
has created a situation concerning
which there is great uneasiness in the
capital.
General Cara, made provisional
president by the convention after the
fight of Gutierrez, is reported to be
doing all he can to preserve order, and
a number OF persons already have been
executed in the capital for alleged in
fractions OF martial law. Business has
been suspended and the populace is
said to be exhibiting the greatest ner-
vousness over the prospects. The
chief anxiety of the public is due to
the uncertainty as to which faction
will succeed TO the control Of affairs
there. The fact that thousands of
troops are reported to have accompan-
fed Gutierrez and three members of
his cabinet in their fight adds to the
unea siness. as only a small garrison is
left for the defense of the capital in
case General Obregon should attack. 1t
is said the treasury was emptied be-
fore the exodus.

Another Subscription Decision.

One of the clearest and most sensi-
BILE decisions in regard to the payment
of newspaper subscriptions was that
handed down recently by Judge
George Thomas in Columbus, Neb. In
this case the court followed the de-
cision made in similar case by the
district court of appeals of Kansas
City, Mo-, which said:
"The preparation and publication of
a newspaper involves much mental
and physical labor, as well as an out
lay of money. The common law prin-
ciple is that when a man receives and
uses a paper he is bound to pay for
it. He benefits and receives a pleasure
from such labor and expenditure of
the publisher as fully as if he had ap-
propriated any other product of anoth-
er's labor, and by such act he is held
liable for the subscription price"
There is nothing involved or evasive
about this decision. The judge says
plainly what all newspaper publishers
have always contended-that to re-
fuse payment for newspaper is akin
to wrongfully appropriating the work
of any other producer.-The American
Press,

FAILS TO RECOVER CHILDREN.
California Father Attempts to Gain
Custody of OffSDrinp

|
Custody of Offspring.
Several weeks ago B. S. Griffin of
| California came to Dallas in search of
his two minor children, the guardian
| ship of whom had been awarded to
his wife by court of that state, and
whom had been brought to Oregon by
Mrs. Griffin. The trio was located at
McMinnville, and petition for an or
der setting aside the order of the Cal
ifornia court as to the appointment
of guardian was entered in Judge
Dodson's court in Yamhill county.
Mrs. Griffin was not present at the
hearing, but was represented by T. D.
Henderson, an interested relative of
the wife, whose attorneys argued that
the citation by publication for the
wife to appear was not personally
served as provided by the statute of
this state, the sheriff having made
return that the wife could not be
found. Attorneys Hayter & Tooze of
this city appeared for the husband,
and argued that no notice was pos
sible to serve upon the defendant if
she might remove to another state
and hide away, unless by publication,
and that the order of the California
court did not permit the defendant
to remove out of California for so
long period. Judge Dodson, how
ever, held that the personal service
was absolutely essential according to
the statutes of Oregon, and there the
matter stands.
