Lawrence Is Acquitted
by Verdict Of Jurynlel1

Kuehne, Oneill said, plainly told
the truth, because he was perfectly
frank in telling even of the things
unfavorable to his own interests. The
boy. he said. was driven to state of
careless desperation bordering almost
upon insanity by the heartless, ha-
RAISING taunts. ETC.. made by Law
renee. and the dispossessing Of his
mother by Lawrence.
He insisted that the dying state
ment of Mrs. Kuehne was document
of most solemn importance. made a.
il was. when she was on the verge
of going to her beyond, and he held
that that statement, not the position
in which this or that person was
standing, was the states case, largely.
and an issue from which the defense's
attorneys, in every manner possible
sought to lead the jury by subter-
fuge and side tracks.
Oneill's argument ended at $40.
After copies OF the judges instruc-
,tions were given the opposing attor-
ney for perusal. the jury filed out at
9:27 o'clock. :,
Some idea OF the attendance at the
trial Saturday afternoon can be gain
ed from the fact that during the time
Horace NJ. Manning was making the
opening argument for the state, the
southwest corner of the court house
settled .noticeably.
The presence of mind Of Judge Kuy-
kendall undoubtedly prevented pam
ic, and possibly loss Of life. Noticing
the sagging. he ordered the bailiffs to
clear the stairways. and to remove all
seats from that corner of the room.
The people moved. eliminating the
danger. witout knowing what peril
they had been In.
Examination showed that the Inn
mense weight in that corner of the
[Old frame court house was so great
that 1t buckled the doors on the stair
way leading into the court room. Had
there been collapse. or had crowd
sensed the danger. and started to run
In panic, there would undoubtedly
have seen loss of life. as the only
means OF escape from the secOnd
floor would have been effectuallS
shut off. and the first to reach the
doors would have been crushed ar
jsmothered by those behind them, also
seeking to rush from the building
! by way OF the staircase.
The crowd. before this. not only
packed the court room to it, full CO.
pacity. but was strung along the
stairs. all persons there eagerly lis
tened to hear what thy could Of the
speeches.

Land Grant Problem Is
Believed Near Solution

to settlers are expected to be liberal
because Of the difficulty Of bringing
the cleared timber land into cultiva-
ton.
II is planned to give the Southern
Pacific $3.50 an acre for its land. 1t
will not realize all OF this though;
for the government plans to deduct
from II the unpaid taxes on the land
and the amounts received by the road
for sales in excess OF the $3.50 an
acre 1t was allowed by law to charge.
Not much consideration has been
given the railroads offer to compro-
mise for $4,000, 900. with the added
stipulation that the unpaid taxes be
paid by the government.
A bill is now pending to provide
for advancing money to pay three
years taxes on the land. The railroad
has refused to pay these taxes. and
the government advance of tax money
will relieve the Oregon land grant
counties from serious embarrassment
Out of the maze of conflicting Gon-
tentfons il has been decided that
actual settlers are to keep title to the
land sold so far. But the date by
which settlers must have been on the
land has not been determined. The
settlers who choose the purely agri-
cultural land are to be allotted 160
acres. Those who get heavily tim
bered land will be allowed forty
acres, with the privilege of buying
up to 100 acres by paying market
prices for the timber.
Claims of Portland, Corvallis and
other cities who fear their water sup
ply sources will be polluted, will be
met either by putting the watershed
land in reserve or offering it to the
cities at $3.50 an acre.
To Senator Chamberlains classifi-
cation of the land-timber, agricul-
tural and mineral-secretaries Lane
aud Houston would add power sites.
The. committee is expected to permit
the withdrawal of power sites for
development.

which they desire to practice; but the
board declares that the certificates will
show high attainment in medical knoWl-

accepted by state boards as evidence of
qualification for licensure.
At present there is no general system
of certifcaton. State boards have differ

Dispose Of Marriage
Questions Before the

word obey" in the promise of the wo-
man in the marriage service was rec
commended in a minority report of the
joint commission on common prayer
submitted to the House of Deputies of
the Protestant Episcopal General Con-
vention here today.
The House of Deputies referred back
to the commission on prayer book all
proposed changes in the marriage cere-
mony in the catachism and in the In
stitution Of Clergymen.
These questions cannot come before

in sickness and in health, and, for
saking all others. keep thee only unto
him so long as We snail live:"
Other Suggestion:
The minority report suggested also
the omission of the words, "and with
all my worldly goods l thee endow' in
the service. An argument advanced was
that the expression 'endow'' is a relic
of old English law. under which the
dover rights of women were guaranteed
and that today the question involved is
a civil one to be taken for granted. 1t
also was proposed to expunge the ex-
preston "as Isaac and Rebecca lived
faithfully together etc. and merely say
living faithfully together"
Many regard the reference to those
biblical rersonages as out Of date and
declare that there is no reason why
Isaac and his wife should be regarded
as models when there were many other
husbands and wives equally faithful.
Numbers of changers We're suggest
cd in the majority report Among them
were the shortening of the 10 com
mandments as read in the communion
service, the elimination of a specific
prayer for Jews and Turks in connec-
ton with infidels as disrespectful and
inaccurate because Mohammedans
were meant instead of Turks.

outside bookkeepers' was recon-

proposal is intended to remedy what

ceedingly bad conditions"
One of the suggestions is that uni

observed. At present, because of the
overlapping fiscal years of different
churches. and dioceses. and because of
other defects of system, the commits
sion says that no human being can tell
within many millions of dollars what
