Prihibition for a While Anyway
President Wilson has signed the en-
ergency agricultural appropriation bill
for national prohibition from next
July 1 until the American army is de-
modified.
The prohibition amendment to the
agricultural measure caused a long
fight In the senate. Officials Of the
shipping board opposed its adoption
on the ground that taking beer from
shipbuilders would make for discon-
tent which would be reflected In Their
work.
Secretary Daniels, who was called
before the senate committee during

THE CASE OF MOONEY.
Convicted On Doubtful Evidence; But
Can Be Saved Only BY Pardon.

Convicted On Doubtful Evidence; But
Can Be Saved Only BY Pardon.
A letter from Judge Franklin A.
Griffin, who tried and sentenced Thos.
J. Mooney, to Governor Stephens, ask
ing that Mooney be given a new trial
because of evidences Of fraud conspir-
acy against him, has been made public
in San Francisco. The letter was writ
ten November 19. Mooney was con-
victed of murder In connection with
bomb explosion in San Francisco, and
is to be hanged in San Francisco on
December l3.
Commenting on his previous plea to
U. S. Webb. attorney general OF the
state, that Mooney be tried. Judge
Griffin said in the letter:
II believed then that simple justice
and fair play demanded such action
and from that position I have never
for a moment receded. On the contra
nv that stand has been by later devel-
opments greatly strengthened"
In the letter Judge Griffin character
lied as open to attack the testimony Of
Frank c. Oxman, Durkee. Ore, cattle
man, Mrs. Nellie Edeau, and her
daughter, Sadie. and John Mcdonald.
Defense attorneys had contended that
the testimony Of these witnesses was
subject to impeachment and in Ok
mans case perjury had been commit
ted.
THE situation Of Mooney Is that ne
stands condemned to death upon evil
dence concerning the truth OF which,
to say the least, there has arisen
very grave doubt" the letter said.
THE highest courts in the state and
nation have declared themselves to be
without power to relieve him. Upon
the shoulders Of the chief executive
therefore, rests this great responsible
ity."

Judge Ryan Believes
Defeat Was Not Fam

1t was believed for time that Judge
Ryan would file a contest or demand
a recount Of the vote for state treasurer
in certain Portland precincts. Mr.. Ryan
considered this at one time but says
the decision Of the supreme court on
the matter which practically makes it
necessary to name the votes that were
not counted or those wrongfully cast
and counted for the other fellow. This
is next to impossible. Mr.. Ryan says
he has several affidavits Of men in
Portland who claim to have voted for
him, and in whose voting precincts he
received few If any votes, according to
the returns, but that these are not tan
gible enough to base contest on. This

rent the city's paving plant and why
~ cents square yard was a good
bargain for the city, He said the coun-
ty would have about 10000 yards to
pave this winter
In reply to what Alderman Ward
said that the chief engineer of the
state highway commission had said
about the paving plant, Judge Bushey
remarked that the state highway en-
gineer din't know any more about the
paving plant than the man in the moon
The judge thought 714 cents yard
would beat any income for the amount
invested in the paving plant and any
how, tEe county would have bought its
own plant had the Judge not feared
that on account Of the war, the state
would do no more paving. He thought
the city had shown good business judg-
ment in buying the plant as already
it ad done enough paving to pay more
than twice the amount invested.
With the county paving 10000
square yards this fall it is estimated
that the city will receive abont $2250
for rent of the paving plant, besides
81 day for the roller.

the public of danger. That on Novem-
Der first at about seven O'Clock in the
evening said F. i. Coates and three
others were riding over said county
road and were not aware of the condi-
tion Of the same. That by reason of
the rut aforesaid the auto in which
they were riding was thrown against
the railing of the bridge and precipi-
tated over it and into the channel OF
the rayine below. That said F. L..
Coates was so injured by the fall that
his death ensued November third. The
plaintiff presented claim for $4,000
damages to the county court Of Marion

jected. Plaintiff asks judgment against
