JUSTICE COURT UPHELD
CRAB LAW IN COOS co

MARSHEIELD, Oregon-Charles
Feller, who has started a suit to kill
the crab law applying to shipments
from Coos county, lost $25 as a
starter in Justice e. H. Joehnk's
court, when the law was upheld.
The case will be appealed, Mr.. Eel
Ter declared, to the circuit court.
The hope to break the law Is based
upon the fact a cannery was estab-
lished and permitted to ship canned
crabs by a law passed four years ago
and still In force. Mr.. Feller seeks
to ship without canning. The con-
test today was well prepared by both
sides and a legal instrument of 16
pages was presented by the defense

LIME BOARD PAYS
FOR MEDICAL CARE

Attorney General Brown has given
as his opinion that medical care Of
convicts who have been employed at
the Gold Hill state lime plant must
be paid for out of the state lime
board and not out of the peniten-
tiary funds. This opinion was given
in answer to query made by War
den Stevens of the state prison. The
attorney general holds that food and
clothing should be paid for out of the
penitentiary funds, but only until
such time as the lime board is on a
paying basis. The lime board must
also pay for transportation, housing,
fuel and other supplies as we'll as

McAdoo Addressed Ashland
in Interests Of Victory Loan

Hon. William G. McAdoo, former
secretary OF the treasury and ex-
railroad administrator, was the guest
of honor of Ashland last Sunday eve
ming when he paid this city a brief
visit while on his way from San Fran
cisco to Portland and Seattle. An
announcement was made during the
day that Mr.. McAdoo would speak
at the station at o'clock during the
twenty minutes stop all trains make
here, but an hour before No. l6 ar
rived on which the former secretary
Of the treasury was passenger, the
word was telegraphed here that the
train would be held for about an
hour in order to allow the noted
traveller an opportunity to address
the Ashland residents.
Mr.. McAdoo was taken to the park
in the automobile of o. Winter, local
chairman Of the Victory Loan cam
paign, who introduced the speaker to
a large audience who had gathered
there. Mr.. McAdoo's address was in
the interests OF the Victory Loan
and for twenty minutes he held his
audience spell-bound with an eloq-
uent and inspiring address.
He pointed out the necessity of
completely conquering the Germans
by paying for the financial cost Of
the war. The soldiers had bravely
and vallantly gone forth and done
their part so successfully, and 1t is
now up to those who remained az
home to complete the battle and pay
the cost of the great victory by con-
tributing as literally to this fifth or
Victory loan as they had in the pre-
vious loans.
Mr.. McAdoo announced that 1t was
a great privilege instead of a sacri-
flee to subscribe to the Victory loan.
This is duty, he said, that American
people owe to the $4,000 boys of the
United States army who were killed
during the war, and the 200, 900 or
more manned soldiers whom this
government promised, when they
went forth TO fight It's battles. to
back to finish.
In his appeal for the League of
Nations plan Mr.. McAdoo declared
that this plan was a question of hu-
manity and not one of partisan poll
tics and that politics should enter
into II in no way. "The good Of hu-
manity should always be above pol
itics," he asserted, "and let us all
bury all partisanship in considering
this question. There has not been a
more propitious time in the history
OF Christianity and with indications
for success for the organization of
the world for peace instead of for
war as heretofore. Let us face this
question of world humanity and
world peace as patriotic Americans.
After the address an informal re-
ception was held, during which the
ex-secretary of the treasury grasious-
ly responded to the greetings Of
many of the city's residents.

Terms Of Peace Treaty Are
Agreed Upon by Big -Four

According to a Paris correspon-
dent to the London Sunday Observer
the main Items OF Deac with Ger
many have been substantially agreed
upon by the council Of four. The
only problem which they have not
yet approached Is that Of the sBo-
hemian border, Ne says. This prob
lem, he points out, Is intricate as It
raises the question as TO whether Il
considerable number OF Germans
must be included in the Czecho-
Slovak state. He continues
"The question of Danzig win like
ly be settled by setting up kind of
autonomous state in that district
while including II in the Polish GUS
toms area"
The correspondent understands
that President Wilson has definitely
agreed to the proposal originated by
Premier Lloyd George which essen
TALLY consists in giving France own
ership of the Saar coal mines while
making the district a neutral state
under the League Of Nations. The
questions Of reparation and Of dis
armament in the Rhine region, he
says, seem also to have been more or
less settled in their broad outlines.
Whether the treaty will be ready
by Easter Is, Of course. another ques-
ton" The correspondent continues.
THE important fact Is, however.
that the council Of four seems to
have agreed on all fundamental
points
As to the western border OF Ger
many. the correspondent states he
has II on good authority that Pre-
mier Clemenceau's main object has
been from the first day OF the con-
ference to pave tho way to settle
ment that Should be entirely based
on the idea OF right which since 1870
has been embodied in Alsace-Lor-
raine' and that the settlement Of
the Czecho-Slovak question should
be entirely acceptable to the EnglIsh-
speaking democracies.
Those who believed he would try
TO annex to France the whole or
part of the left bank Of the Rhine
entirely misunderstood his inten-
Ition," he declares. Truly enough
when the question of the western
border of Germany came before the
council of four he asked at first for
rectification of the frontier which
would amount to re-establishing the
French border of 1914. To under.
stand such demand II must be rev
called that the comparatively small
district extending between the bor-
der of 1870 and the border of 1914
includes places such as Sarrelouis.
where eighty per cent of the inhabl.
tants are said to be in favor of re-
union with France.
Still, as objection was raised IN
side the council of four that such
step might be interpreted as amount

With the Presidents Illness

Special to The Intelli9encer.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-After
nearly seven years of funet'on'ne
almost exclusively on all important
questions upon direction or COM
n,and from the White House, Pres'-
dent Wilson'S cabinet over night Is
apparently about to become power
in government. II is expected 10

which he laid down when he took 70
his bed several days ago.
The prospects Of an illness long
continued on the part Of Mr.. Wilson
seem 70 have convinced the cabinet
that they cannot afford longer. 70

situations Of domestic policy wnlen
confront the nation.
II the president keeps to his BED
for months to come, it is highly I'M
probable that the government
would continue to go along without

Experienced much Of Washington
life would believe it possible for
any cabinet to get along for long
time without a. active head VINO
had the absolute decision IN all
matters.
II the president continues unable
to transact business or attend 10
pressing matters Of policy, it is not
questioned that eventually some
thinq would be done to appoint a
successor. A,
There is little chance that Mr.:
Wilson himself will be able to deal
with the problems confronting his
administration and the country for
many weeks to come, and since
many Of them require urgent atten:
ton, and there is no machinery OF
which the executive end Of the gov
ernnent can avail itself to handle
them except through the cabinet,
this method probably will De adopt
ed for the present.
