IN REIGN OF TERROR
Extremists Control Situation at Tsarit-
SYM More RevOIts.

London, June IA Petrograd dis
patch to the Times says there seems
to be a reign of terror in Tsaritsyn,
where a separate republic has been
declared and the town is entirely in
the hands of the extremists.
Dispatches say that the situation is
serious because Tsaritsyn is a great
railroad center and important point
for traffic on the Volga river.
Separate republics have also been
declared at Kherson and kirnanova
but the situation is said not to be seri-
Gus at either place.

Washington, July 3.-The strike of
copper miners in Gila county, Arizona,
has gone beyond the control of the
local authorities, according to tele-
gram received by Senator Ashurst from
Sheriff ArTer, of that county, today.
More than 5000 men are striking in
the Bisbee and $500 in the Globe dis,
trict, the message said, and troops are
needed
Ashurst today notified the war de-
partment of the situation at the request
of the Gil, county sheriff and asked
foi soldiers
These strikes are the ones attributed
to German influence among copper min
ers both in Arizona and Colorado.
Last week Senator Thomas, Colorado,
called upon the department of justice
to "get the situation in hand. -
The war department at once notified
the commander of the southern depart
ment tc act Upon his own responsibility
in cooperating with the Arizona COVER
nor in the matter of sending troops if
they are needed.

RECALLED
BY SUPREME COURT IN
Street PAVING SUITS
Court Did Not Pass On Suhci-
ency Of Relnonstrallce In
Twelfth Street Case, But
Held Replatting Not Valid
In Fry, Lord and Carson
Cases Decision Was Based
On Error In Advertising

The supreme court today recalled the
mandates sent down in the case Of D..
J. Fry against the City of Salem,
John Albert against the City of Salem,
George j. Watson against the City of
Salem, Elizabeth Lord against the
City of Salem, and Mrs Carson against
the City of Salem, for the purpose Of
correcting them and making them con-
form to the opinions Of the court
The motion to recall and correct was
filed Saturday by City Attorney Macy
when it was found that campaign ma
iterial was being, manufactured out of
the fact that the mandates Of the court
contained matter not passed on by the
judges ard were divergent and mis-
leading. The mandates, on this ac.
count, were much broader than the
opinions Of the court.
In the Fry, Lord, and Carson eases
against tho city the mandate declared,
in adopting the findings Of fact and
conclusions Of law Of Judge Galloway,
that the pavement was not laid -ac-
cording TO plans and specifications and
was a fraud on the property owners.
This was not passed on by the supreme
court. The point passed on by that
body tni decision rendered by Judge
Bean was based solely ON the fact that
the noti.c to the property owners pub
lished in a local newspaper was defec-
tive in that the notice used the words
" Mill Creek" when it should have
been "Mill street."
In the Albert and Watson cases,
known as the Twelfth street cases, the
mandate declared the replatting of a
portion of the city was valid and the
remonstrancc against the paving based
on this replatting was sufficient, The
opinion Of the court was that an at
tempt was made to re-plat without first
vacating the previous plating, and
that therefore the attempted replatting
was not valid.
At the meeting at the Highland
school this evening, Attorney w. H.
Trindle will explain this matter more
fully, and he expects to show that the
opposition to the amendments have
been trying to pull the wool over the
eyes of the people in arguing from
ground that is false.

TO BEGIN OFFENSIVE
ON ALL THE FRONTS
Now That Russia Is Ready
Plans Of Concerted Action
To Be Carried Out

London, July 3.-Simultaneous re-
sumption of allied offensives, now that
Russia has at last started in to 'do
her bit" was expected here today.
Petrograd dispatches detailed no abatt
ment in the Galician section today with
General Brusiloff's troops, fired with
their initial successes, continuing to
gain ground.
Back in the winter the allied plans
had called for a simultaneous offensive
campaign in the spring to be waged on
the western, northern, Italian and
Macedonia fronts. The Hindenburg
strategic retreat on the western
front hastened the British and French
attack. Then came the Russian revo
luton end total inaction of the Rus
sian troops. Italy started her often
sive ON time and in Macedonia General
Serial began a diversion in powerful
force; Germany was busy defending
her lines on every front except Russia.
And because she waged clever cam
paign of fratornization and of separate
on the Russian front, Germany was
able to weather the offensives. If
Russia he'd done her part then Germany
might have been compelled to relin-
quish great tracts for sheer lack of
men and munitions to fight simultan-
eously all her attackers.
From now on military experts poin-
ted out today, Germany cannot weak
en- her Russian lines to stiffen up
yielding sections on other fronts, as
she has done. She must guard against
penetration on every side.
But what was of vastly greater sat
isfaetion here than the mere fact that
Russia has started an offensive was
the realization that this time it is an
army imbued with full knowledge of
the principles, of democracy for which
the allies are fighting that is partici-
pating fer Russia. 1t is no longer an
army to. be disposed of according to the
whims of an imperial autocrat. Every
man in the ranks now knows exactly
what he is fighting for, realizes Rus
sia must win to hold her freedom and
can be counted on, for this reason, as
trebly effective in fighting.

German Attacks Fierce.

Paris, July 3.-Germany launched
another tremendous offensive blow at
the French lines today, centering two
simultaneous thrusts on the Chemin Des
Danes, south OF Laon and again around
Verdun. In both instances the enemy
failed to gain ground, according TO the
war office report today.
"At p. m. Monday along the line
from Allies to Palsy the enemy resum-
ed his bombardment and violently and
foreefully attacked the trenches which
French forces retook yesterday" the
statement said. A heavy desperate
struggle Throughout the night ensued,
but all positions were maintained.
son the left bank of the Meuse there
was intense artillery firing at midnight
in the sector embraced by Hill 3O4 and
Avocourt wood. At 2:30 a. m. on a
front of 500 yards in the southeast cor
ner of the wood, enemy waves started
out of the trenches but in our artillery
fire did not reach our lines.
fIn the Champagne, the French
ferces blew up an enemy blockhouse. -

Limit to Ship Building
Is Labor and Material

Portland, Ore, July 2.-The only
Limit to Pacific coast ship building is

This was the message delivered this
afternoon by l.. ]. Wentworth, represen-
tative of General Goethals, before the

not less than eight billion feet of lum.
Der would have to be cut to get the
necessary one and one-half billion feet
of ship timber, that 500 ways should be
built at once and an army of from 40,'
900 to $4,000 men PIT to work on shil

CANNOT MAKE WINE
FOR USE OF FAMILY
Supreme Court So Rules
Portland Officials Not Liable
Other Opinions

The decision of Judge Gantenbein s
court, MultnOmah county, that it is q
violation of the liquor law to manufae-
ture intoxicating liquor for family use
alone was upheld by the Oregon su-
preme court in the case of the state OF
Oregon, respondent, against Joe Mara
stoni, appellant, who was convicted in
the municipal court of Portland of vic
lating the liquor law, which decision
was handed down this morning. The de-
cision of the lower court was affirmed
by Chief Justice Mcbride, and Justices
Moore, Bean and MeCamant concur
red.
On September 81, 1916, MarastOni
had one third of ton of grapes in pos
session, which he squeezed into a con
tainer and made fifty gallons of wine.
This he let ferment until September
27. 1916. when the juice had more than
one half of one per cent alcohol in it.
He made the wine for the use of his
family and allowed part of it to be-
come vinegar.
He was convicted in the municipal
court, appealed to the Circuit court,
and was tried, by stipulation, without
a jury, and found guilty and fined $50.
He appealed to the supreme court.
In his opinion Judge Mcbride says
it was admitted Marastoni pressed the
grapes and made the wine and was
therefore guilty Of violating the sta
tute. 1.-THE question is not as to the pol
icy of the law but as to the power to
enact it, and thih being found to exist

statement is made because the people
