Eugene'Lawyer
Disbarred By
Supreme Court

Leon A. Edmunson, Eugene at
torney, is disbarred from the fur
ther practice of law in Oregon In
an order written by Justice Brown
and handed down by the supreme
court this morning.
Disbarment proceedings were
instituted against Edmunson sew
eral months ago by the grievance
committee of the Lane county bar
association, on grounds of miscon-
duct in his profession and con-
viction Of misdemeanors involving
moral turpitude. Edmunson, 1t
was charged, had been found gull
ty Of violating the prohibition act.
In his opinion Justice Brown
declares that Edmunson is a vio-
lator Of the law.
1T is made his duty by statute
and by oath to support the consti-
tuition and laws Of the United
States and Of this state" the opin-
ion reads. He has not only fail
ed to uphold the laws but he has
knowingly become lawbreaker.
He has violated a statute de-
nouncing as a crime the act Of
uy{lfuI1u ond knOuiuO1v With In
tent to injure and defame, pub
fishing of and concerning another
false and scandalous matter. Such
is the character of Edmunson the
man and citizen"
The court orders that Edmun-
son be disbarred from the practice
of law in any of the courts of this
state and that his name be strick-
en- from the roll Of attorneys in
this court.

'In saying this we do not i'm
pugn the motives or the intelli-
gence of the witnesses in the
least. The responsibility for Of
fering irrevelant testimony on
matters at issue or on subjects al
ready fully covered must rest on
those conducting the case"
Under the order of February,
1921, telephone rates in Oregon
were increased from 20 percent
to as high as 200 percent in some
classes Of service. The order met
with a general protest from all
sections of the state affected by
the increase and a petition for
rehearing of the order was filed
with the commission by attorneys
representing the city of Portland
and numerous other Oregon cities
as well as farmer lines. The order
granting the rehearing was hand
ed down on May 81, 1921, and
the rehearing was opened in Salem
on July IS, 1921, sessions being
held alternately in Salem and
Portland for a period of six weeks,
total of 1870 witnesses being ex-
amined, 1876 exhibits being in
troduced and a record Of some
5000 pages of testimony made.
The rehearing was asked
ostensibly for the purpose of
pointing out the errors in the con-
clusions reached by the commits
sion in order $50 but the attacks
OF the petitioners were directed,
not against the order but against
the evidence by which the COM
pany supported its claims at the
rearing which led to that order"
the commission declares. I'VE
mus have the strange spectacle
u a reheariRg' devoted chiefly
70 arguments against claims made
oy the company and already re-
Iected by the commission. The
maneuyre could have had no other
ooJect- than to divert the atten-
tion Of the public from the fact
'nat the commission had granted
much less than the company asked.
The commission listened with
interest to dissertations on tech
meal matters by a telephone
engineer of undoubted scientific
attalnments, who dwelt on the
auVantages Of equipment other
snan that used by the company.

prescribing the equipment TO be

HARTFORD, CT, June l, 1922.
The Tobacco Journal reports: In parts
of East Hartford there is small de-
crease in acreage A few growers are
planting peas, corn, potatoes and other
small crops on the acres formerly de-
voted entirely to tobacco. In other
sections there are also likely to be
slight reductions in acreage. For any
decrease the reason is attributed to the
unsatisfactory prices for the crop last
year, and a fear of wildfire and hail.
1t is doubtful that the total reduction
will approach A per cent.
A meeting of the organization COM
mittee Of the Connecticut Valley To-
bacco association was held this week
and reports show that about one-third
of the entire acreage of the Connecti-
cut valley is represented by signed con-
tracts. According to these reports East
Hartford has 80 per cent signed; Man
chester, 78 per cent; Mapping, "a per
cent; South Windsor, rs per cent; East
Windsor, 80 per cent; Vernon, 80 per
cent; Ellington, 80 per cent, and En-
field, 70 per cent. The committee plans
to have 25, 900 acres represented by sig-
natures by the middle of June.

NEW YORK. June /. 1922,


With something more than IL, 200
bales of Sumatra parchased at the Am
sterdam and Rotterdam inscriptions
held thus far, more than half of the
leaf available for the American market
has been taken up. Prices have been
running at high level throughout the
buying and a strong belief is entertain
ed that that level will be maintained at
the remaining inscriptions.
High prices for the new Sumatra
have caused quite some discussion in
the local market and among manufac-
turers. The question that has arisen
is: How will the manufacturers make
the pre-war fve-cent cigar for which
the trade is clamoring? The matter is
subject to change, perhaps without no.
tice, but as matters stand now it can't
be done.
Considerable interest is being shown,
nevertheless. in the new Sumatra, SAM
Piles cf which leading importers are now
showing to the manufacturing trade.
AS for old Sumatra on hand, it has
been in active demand for several weeks
past so that stocks of high grade leaf
available now amount to very little.
The next Sumatra sale will be held
on Friday, June g. An increased num-
Der of American buyers will be present
at this inscription as there are still
some important houses that have not
yet purchased sufficient leaf to meet
their requirements Leaf.

LANCASTER, PA, June l, l9Zz.
From the Leaf: A decided lull in the
buying market is noticeable. The de-
liveries of the 1921 tobacco crop are
going on steadily and packers are pre-
pairing the purchases for the buying
season. Practically the entire crop of
nearly $4,000 acres has been purchased,
with only few scattering holdings un-
sold.
The growers are busy with their seed
beds and the plants are spronting forth
with vigor. Within few weeks they
will be transplanted to the fields and
then the real work of cultivation will
be on in earnest. The same acreage
will be planted as usual, as the rotation
of crops in this county calls for GER
tain specific acreage each year and the
growers have been following this sys-
tenn for years with success. Special
precaution will be taken this year to
avoid the spread OF "wildfre," which
made it's appearance in several sections
last year Preventative methods have
been taught and will be followed as
pointed out by federal experts.
That the cooperative packing of to-
bacco among the growers of Lancaster
county has come to stay is evidenced
by the fact that 5000 cases have been
packed this year.

EDGERToN, WIS. June is. 1922

EDGERToN. Wis. June Is, 1922.
No particular excitement, but the
fact that the northern field is practic-
ally cleaned up of good leaf-very little
of any other left-is spoken of with an
infection of regret in the voice of some
of the buyers who now feel that they
could have used little more of the
1921. Added to the slight furry of ex-
citement is the fact that some rather
pretty crops that were left in the north
section went to the lucky buyers at
somewhat advanced figures, from Is to
Is cents.
In the southern counties where some
farmers still have 1921 the tone of
prices last week was somewhat strong
er. In fact the SC top figure so long
standing as the limit paid by stemmers
and packers was exceeded, and some
select crops are known to have parted
with their owners at figures between 8
and 10c, going to stemmers. 1t goes
without saying, of course, that while
the tobacco that brought these prices
was too short as an advantageous cigar
leaf proposition, it was sound, of ex-
cellenL qualty and handled with the
utmost care.
Tobacco planting is IN full swing,
some growers of the weed having their
fields nearly completed, says the Yer
non County Censor. The significance
of the statement becomes apparent
when it is noted that this applies to the
first week in June.
In the southern area large acreage
was set last week, and much is going
in this week. All who can do so are
holding back, feeling that it is too
early, but the plants are running away
in size in the seed beds. That plants
this spring are exceptionally good,
sturdy and well hardened before being
pulled is strong point in favor of
good start, and with the recent rains
the fields are in exceptionally good con-
dition to receive the plants.
