Rehearing

An order denying the petition
of Peter sustar, arrested on June
80 for possessing two quarts OF
moonshine liquor and later fined
$500 and given six months in the
county jail by Judge William NJ.
Bushey. asking foF a writ OF re-
view from the circuit court OF
Marion county, was signed this
morning by Judge George Bing-
ham Of department No. 2 OF the
circuit court.
sustar states in his petition
that he was brought TO Salem by
Special Prosecutor Standifer, an
anti-szloon league operator, who.
he states. implied that he would
be fined only $50. and contends
that the decision OF the county
judge was not in accordance with
the state law which states that
excessive fines shall not be i'm
posed. but ali shall be in proper
tion to the offense. He also hes5
that the mere possession Of the
liquor" was not in violation Of
the state prohibition law.

Harding's Program for
Rehabilitation of In
dustry Told; Lower
Taxes Stressed

Chicago, July 15.--Points in
President Harding's program for
governmental assistance in the
recovery of commerce and indus
try were outlined bY Secretary
Hoover in an address today before
the National Association Of Real
Estate Boards.
This great economic program
of our president includes" Mr..
Hoover said, revision of our tax
system, reduction of governmental
expenditure, settlement of the tar
iff, reorganization of the federal
machinery for more efficient serY-
ice, reorganization of our mercan-
tile marine, refunding of foreign
loans, relief of the world from
armament, assistance to exporters,
upbuilding and safeguarding our
foreign commerce, assistance to
farmers by mobilization of private
credit, expeditions settlement OF
the obligations of the government
to the railways, encouragement to
development of our great power
resources, the systematic elimina-
tion of wastes in production and
research and education upon i'm
provement in our processes of pro
duction and distribution.
Unless we would destroy in
I.dividual initiative and drive our
selves straight into naturalization
or paternalism, the government
cannot undertake to redu or
raise wages, to deal in .eommodi-
ties, no matter how it is camou-
flaged (
There pare, the secretary con-
tended, three fields in which the
government can be of assistance in
remedying the housing, situation.
First, the government must, as
a matter of primary duty drive ev-
cry combination out of busin ess
that attempts to restrain trade,
Second, the government to some
degree, directly or indirectly con-
trolls or obstructs the flow of
credits and it, therefore, has a re-
sponsibility toward this part of
the problem. Third, the govern
ment can and should interest it,
self in dissemination of informa-
tion, in scientific study of certain
problems in materials and methods
and in cooperation with the in
dustries to receive voluntary re-
ductions in wastes. that the costs
of homes may be decreased.

Poughkeepsie, N. ". July 15.-
Attack and defense of the pattern
ity of Guy Stillman were resumed
here today in the divorce suit
brought by James A. Stillman
against Mrs. Anne U. Stilman. II.
Phelps Clawson of Buffalo, who
testified yesterday that Mr.. and
Mrs. Stillman lived together on
several occasions previous to the
birth of the boy, was recalled to
the stand.
IL was expected that attorneys
for the New York banker would
seek to break down the effect ci
some of Clawson's s direct testimony
by ss-examination. Claw sol!
was considered as one of the most
important witnesses for Mrs. Still
man in the matter of combating
Mr.. Stillman's accusation that Guy
was not his own child, but that OF
Fred Beauvais, Indian guide and
servant of the family.
Mrs. Stillman's lawyers sum-
moned several other witnesses to-
day to carry on her counter at
tack against the banker, who she
alleged violated his marriage vows
in his relations with three other
women.
1t was understood, however
that these witnesses would not be
placed on the stand until the next

Grain Rate
Schedule to
Be Probed
Interstate Commerce
Commission Insti-
gate Investigation
On Own Motion

With a view to prescribing rea-
sonable rates on grain and grain
products and hay in the western
and mountain Pacific groups, as
the circumstance appear to war
rant, the interstate commerce COM
mission, on its own motion, is-
sued an order of investigation
Thursday, according to telegram
received here this mcrning by the
public service commission from
John E. Benton. solicitor for the
National Association of Railroad
and Utilities commission, who ap-
peared in Washington, d. c.. for
the Oregon commission.
The order, according to Mr..
Benton. provides that no testi-
mony will be received in respect TO
the relationship between rates of
particular points. The hearing
will be in Washington on August
On request OF the Kansas, Iowa
and Minnesota commissions. Mr..
Benton stated that PI ! lent Perry
had requested him to call con-
ference OF the interested commits
siors to be held at Chicago on July
20 in the office Of the Illinois COM
mission. At this meeting a dis
cussion OF the preparation and
presentation @: the case will be
made.
The examiners tentative report
on the livestock case. which was
filed yesterday, recommends a re-
duction TO the approximate extent
OF the last advance in rates, Mr..
Benton stated. and says a reduc-
tion in rates on traffic In general
seems unwarranted at the present
time.
Mr.. Benton quoted from the re-
port as follows. TN our view no
adequately compensating benefit
would be thus achieved. However.
the rates on certain commodities
are sitting industry, and should
be reduced. Rates should be made
to meet economic requirements.
Ar. Benton said he believed the
Oregon public service commission
should be represented at the cor
ference either personally Or ~
proxy.
