HABEAS CORPUS
 HEARING TODAY
Attorney Contends that Re- Corder Exceeded Author
 ity in Prohi Cases

Haseas corpus proceedings, seek ing the release of J. B. Crockett and j. W. Dempsey from the city jail on the grounds that the city recorder acted beyond his Jurisdiction in sem tencing the men to serve time on the streets, under a municipal ordinance for failure to pay fines for violating tho liquor law, when a state statute provides less penalty for such de- fault, will be heard before Judge J. B. Aird in circuit court this morning at g o'clock.
 Hearing on the proceedings were scheduled to come up yesterday but were continued by consent when the city announced unreadiness for trial
 It is contended by M. A. Dinsmore, attorney for the men, that under the terms of the state law Crockett should have been sentenced to only 80 days on the streets in default of payment of 5000 fine and costs for violation of the liquor laws. and Dempsey to only 20 days, In default of a $50 and costs for the same offense, instead of to 1O5 and 55 days respectively.
 Where both a state law and a city ordinance cover the same offense. it is contended the recorder Is con trolled by the state statute. The city contends that 1t Is discretionary with the recorder as to which law he will proceed under.
 It is expected that the matter will be taken to the supreme court for final decision.

Tanning Herbert Richardson

Everybody at our table had joined the dancers on the floor. leaving me alone with Herbert Richardson Sud- denly he put his hand over mine as it lay beside my plate.
 Tt isn't a devil that lures our souls.' he murmured softly as l pulled my hand away gently so al not to attract attention from the other tables. Tt Is women like you who are the lures sent by his Satanic maj esty to blind our eyes and tear our hearts with your beauty. virgia, you could lure my soul from out my body and I would never mourn its loss"
 Please don't talk to me like that MT. Richardson. What is this l am eating? I have never tasted anything like it before"
 'It is dungeon crab cocktail" Her bert Richardson remarked sullenly and then he recovered himself and continued with a smile: .I think they are only found on this coast"
 We talked on politely, each trying to make the necessary conversation until the dance being over the rest of the party returned to the table.
 What have you two been talking about?" demanded Billy. 'I know it wasn't very interesting by your looks"
 Miss Winston couldn't be other wise than interesting even if my con versation was not" Mir. Richardson said in such manner that Ria gave us both a swift glance of inquiry.
 Then and there I decided to put Herbert Richardson in his proper place. For the first time in my life assuming that innocence which ev eryone had always attributed to me said: T don't know whether or not you would think his conversation was interestfng"
 We can't decide unless you tell it to us," suggested Billy, scenting a joke on Herb.
 Well, told MT. Richardson where I came from down in Virginia and spoke of the puritannical ideas of it's people-how they considered that dancing was trap set by the devil to lure mems souls from their bodies,

 The laughter was so loud at our table that all those about us turned to look.
 believed that Ria laughed loudest.
 Herbert Rchardson's face was white with anger. but I managed to keep my look of absolute imbecile innocence as though I were asking them all what they were laughing at.
 After it had quieted down a bit Ria said mischeviously: "The same old line, Herb. You had chance to try something original. Why didn't you do it?' Then she fitted away with Billy Johnson to dance again. Her bert followed with one of the other girls. never giving me 9 passing look.
 The man they called Tony Melville dropped into his vacant seat and looking at me searchingly said: Did anyone ever tell you you were an ac- tress?

 He said no more and went back to his own chair.
 As Herbert Richardson dropped into the seat beside me l saw that he had recovered his good nature.
 You little devil. I know it was pose and yet you almost got me. You were playing me for part with Mel vile. weren't you?'
 Because I had asked him so many times what he meant I knew that he would not believe me if I told him that l did not understand this speech and so I just shook my head and smiled.
 At this. Herbert turned to Ria and said: will your naughty highness dance this with me?"
 There is no one I would rather dance it with, Herbert"
 She rose and with the happiest smile l had ever seen on anyone's face she seemed to melt into Herbert Richardson's arms as they started to dance.
 Isn't she the most beautiful thing you ever saw?" I said impetuously to Billy Johnson.
 He bowed acquiescently just as one of the girls who was at our table passed us on her way to the dance floor.
 Well she has got him back at last" herd her say, "I presume she will be wearing another diamond pin tomorrow"
 T don't like that girl, Billy"
 Neither do I. But come on, let's dance" he answered me.

ID OBJECT ID 4-POWER PACT
 AMERICA THINKS
Objection on Fact That Other Similar Organizations Will Spring Into
 Existence
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Herald.
 800 Davidson Building.

Washington, January 6.--(Special) There is a growing impression in Washington that the League of Ma tions will interpose objection to France, England and Japan forming an independent alliance with the United States.
 This objection is said to be based not only on the danger to the league which the setting up of another pow erful organization for peace would entail, but on the fact that still other organlzat tions, with similar or identi- cal motives. would most certainly spring into existence.
 It has already been pointed out by Senator Shields of Tennessee and others that before England. France and Japan can enter into the four power agreement, they must receive the permission of the League of Ma tions, or withdraw.
 statesmen Differ
 There is great difference of opinion among thoughtful statesmen in Washington as to what the Washing ton conference will lead to. It is re- garded as altogether probable that the upspringing of numerous peace organizations will eventually result in all amalgamating under the League of Nations, and 1t is regarded as equally probably, that the necessity for the upspring<g of other organi- zations, will argue the futility of the League of Nations and forecast It's disintegration.
 eThe optimistic members of Congress foresee as result of the Washington conference an era of peace of longer duration than the period of interna- tional exhaustion. On the other hand, the pessimistic foreseel war. It Is pointed out with apparent truth that England and France are not as friendly as when they came to Washington; and that France and Italy have become openly jealous and suspicious of each other. Japan and China are still at dagger points, and Japan is said to be a trifle unified be- cause of the popular anti-Japanese feeling openly displayed on the streets of the cities of the United States.
 Supcrdreadnaught Obsolete
 Ther eis agreement on one point X capital ship naval holiday will greatly alleviate the burden of the people of the world. But the total elimination of the superdreadnaug ght would not cripple any nation which, after the expiration of a few years, might desire 10 draw the sword.
 For 1t has been demonstrated that the superdreadnaugh Is easy prey to underwater craft. or to the airship floating out of the range of the most powerful anti-aircraft guns. It is readily agreed that there will be three instruments of warfare in the future-the submarine, the airship, and gas. The chemists of all nations are working to the perfection of the latter. The United States is in pos session of a gas. heavier than air. which if released from an airplane over city, would sink even into the cellars and destroy all living things.
 Already the superdreadnaugh Is obsolescent. It win soon be as use less as any and the most expensive of all instruments of destruction. There is general agreement as to that

HEAVY LOSSES


crib work was placed under the bridge
which was left without support by the
action of the waters. The roadbed
was under water in three places ali
told. The tracks over the rest of, the
branch are safe, according to Agent
Walter Adams.
Rieth Road Flooded.
The road between here and Rich
at Rocky Point was flooded, and for
several hours it was impossible for
cars to get through. The Umatilla
stage wasthe only car to get through
this morning, and it had to be towed
a part of the way through the water
and mud and sand. ls
At least three bridges are known to
be out over the drainage ditch in the
stanfield district, according to re-
ports received by the county court
this morning. Others have been re-
ported as being dangerous. A bridge
near the Troxell place. about one mile
off of the Oregon Washington high
way. has been carried from its moor
ings and cars can not cross, it is said.
Mission Bridge Holds.
One thing which has brought a
smile to the members of the county
court is that the bridge at Mission has
held so far. 1t has caused the court
a great deal of grief in days gone by,

the weak spot in the construction.
