SMALLPOX OVERRULES
ORDER OF THE COURT
Clerk BaIkS at Presence of
Exhibits" Who Are Ex-
posed to MaIady

The law s delays have been a watch
word for years but today brand new
cause for delay appeared to block a
writ of habeas corpus issued by Judge
Galloway in the circuit court in the case
of A. NJ. Long, convict at the state
penitentiary who was to be produced
IN court in person at 10 0 o'clock this
morning. Smallpox was the higher law
that overruled the judge s order War
den Mimic upon whom the writ was
seryed as custodian of Long reported
that he was ready and willing to pro-
duee Long i'll court to comply with the
order but that the court would have to
take his own chances as Long had been
exposed to the smallpox which has hrok-
en- out at the state pen.
Judge Galloway was ready to stand
by his order but the clerk of the court
declined to list any smallpox patients as
exhibits and declared that the court
room must be quarantined if Long were
admitted without a clean bill of health.
The matter was finally adjusted by At
tOrney Thomas L. Garland waving the
actual presence Of Long and taking
the opportunity to present his case in
court in which he contends that Long
is illegally restrained from his liberty.
Garland claims that Long was commit
ted upon writ which was faulty in
that the signature of the trial Judge
was typewriter and not signed per
sonally. Long was sent up from Multi
nomah county, December 30, 1914, to
serve from one to seven years for lar
ceny from dwelling.
Garland says he received a letter
signed "Ex-cOn" in which it was stat
ed that Long desired to speak with an
attorney. Garland then appeared at the
pen where the officials refused to al
low him private interview with the
prisoner although he was allowed to
talk in the presence of guard.
Attorney General Brown appeared as
a representative of Warden Mimic and
the arguments in the case win be heard
this afternoon by Judge Galloway.

Officials here take the reported Ger
query as indicative that Germany does
not want break with America and is
preparing to yield.
According to the Amsterdam message,
Foreign Secretary Won Jagow asks
what size guns America deems neeea-
sary for defense of merchantmen, in
view of her contention that these ships
have the right to arm strictly for de-
fense. In this way, it is thought Ger
many hopes to force the state depart
ment to define defensive armament
and to embarrass belligerent ships en-
tering America with comparatively
large guns.
1t is believed that the query is in
tended TO prolong negotiations between
the two nations until the excitement in
Germany against America over the de-
cree subsidies Then, it is presumed,
Germany win find a graceful way to eX-
tricate herself from an awkward posi-
tion.
The Amsterdam report has served 10
upset the English forecast that e
many intended to defy the United
States.

ABOUT 100000 Babies
DIE BEFORE one YEAR

The Census Bureau estimates that
900, 600 babies died in this country last
year before the age of one year, and it

were needless if all mothers were
strong and infants were breast-fed.

fact that in the last few years the
