OREGON PROHIBITION
 LAW KNOCKED IN HEAD

PORTLAND. Jan 8.-Oregon's pro hibition law received a blow here today when Circuit Judge Henry E. NcGinn ruled that the state had no authority to limit or prohib.r citizens from manu- featuring or importing liquor for per sonal use.
 If a man wants 10 go wrong cross lots, that is his -air" said the judge. But when he wants To send his neigh bor wrong eros lots, then it is the states affair"
 The ruling Wa aimed at the present law. which prohibits importation. but if il stands. wc1Id apply. it was be lieved, on the to-aI prohibition. or bone dry law. which is expected to become effective nexr month.
 The decision vas made in an injun ction suit filed hg 4 Lima, of Portland who asked that t1e police be enioined from searching h.s premises for liquor

CANADIAN MISSIONARY
 DIES AT HIS POST

CALGARY, Alberta. Jan, 9.--Father Lacombe, who died at Midnapors, Al berta, few days ago will be buried here in this city. He was 89 years of age.
 As pioneer missionary of the Cath ollie Church he was known throughout Canada. Born in 1927 in St. Sulpice, Quebec, and ordained in 1S49, he was one of the first missionaries to proceed 10 Manitoba and the Northwest in the pre-railway days, and as early as 1880 he became a member of the Manitoba board of education.
 In 1881 he was sent by his bishop to Saskatchewan, and became vicar-gen- eral of the new diocese Of St. Albert, where he founded churches and many schools.

HAS GERARD VIOLATED THE DIPLOMATIC
 PROPERTIES?
According to Berlin Papers He is Chased as BungIer And Merits Strong
 Reprimand

BERLIN, Jan. 9.-This morning, ed itorially the Tages Zeitung, came out with a cutting comment in reference to Ambassador Gerard's speech deliy- cred a few days ago at banquet given by the American Trade Association in his honor on his return from the Unit ed States. The Zeitung says it is a question as to whether the ambassador has not violated all diplomatic prop rieties in speaking of relations between the United States and Germany at this time
 Other papers. altho not so severe. are inclined to agree with the Zeitung of the apparent propriety of such dis courses.

FORMULAS SOON
 TO DISAPPEAR.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 9-Rapid disappearance of the familiar formu- las on food and drug package labels, guaranteed by the manufacturer un- der the food and drug act, June Both, 1906, serial No.....,....." is expected by the Department of Agriculture officials. The guaranty now may be stamped on the dealers invoice and since Novem- Der l, has been forbidden on labels ex- cept those printed before May ,, 1914
 The object of the new system is to avoid creating the popular impression which grew out of the guaranty clause on the label, that the Government an alyzes and guarantees the contents. Printing the guaranty on the invoices transfers responsibility for the pro- ducts purity from the dealer to the manufacturer

PASSENGER ON BOARD COLUMBIAN TELLS OF
 HIS EXPERIENCES.
Ship Sank With COl0rs Flying He Says in Letter To His
 Mother

BROOKLINE, Mass, Jan. S.-A de- scription of the torpedoing of the Columbian by an eyewitness is con tained in a letter written by Charles J. Blakney. of Brookline, from Cadiz, Spain. to his mother here. The letter tells of meeting the U-49 on November Y.
 The sea was so rough that the cap tain of the submarine could not board the ship. and finally by wireless he directed the Columbian to proceed but to disregard their movements. which the wireless operator did not do by sending out an s. o. s. and the Ger mans got it and chased us again and stopped us by shot and came aboard.
 The German told us he would give us an hour to leave the ship and go to the Balto, a Norwegian boat which they had captured, but were using as a decoy. The German told us that the ship would carry us to a place where it was safe enough to land in lifeboats Then they blew up the Columbian and sank her within sight of us, with the American flag flying at the stern, Nov ember s, at noon.
 We watched that night while the Germans captured a Swedish boat. We were then put out in lfeboat and transferred to the Varing. Then We saw the Balto sent to the bottom and on November the Germans captured another Norwegian boat and sank her too We were put in lifeboats on Nov ember 10 and ordered to row for land, but the Germans stopped another boat and ordered her to take us near shore. But that boat refused to do that and started away. The submarine got them without warning.
 Then we started for shore in life boats, and after eight and half hours we landed at a town called Camarinas Spain
