The prosecution in the criminal
trial Of william Rogers, Silverton
logger, charged with assault with
intent to kill Walter Birtchet, Sa-
lem police officer, on December A,
completed it's case in the circuit
court this morning with the tes-
timony of DR.. G. E. Cashatt, Salem
physician.
4 DR.. Cashatt testified to dress
ing the wound of Birtchet, after
the officer had had heroically dis
armed Rogers following the shoot
ling in the house at go Highland
avenue. He also said that he had
attended Rogers soon after and
had dressed bruises on the mans
hand received in the scuffle for
1.-The possession of the gun. He
Esaid that at the time he noticed
THAT Rogers had a black eye, ap
parently made by a blow with
fist.
Asa Lee Called.
Asa Lee, brother rin-law of thu
defendant, was called to the stant
by the attorney for the defense
and asserted that Birtchet had hit
Rogers with his billy. Lee coult
not remember the conversation
preceding the arrival Of the Off
Ger between his mother, Mrs
Rogers and the defendant. HI
said it was 'just private family
trouble" He stated that he wa'
certain that Bir.cnet had strucl
the prisoner with his billy instead
of his fist, and that the defendan
was. seated in a chair and no
standing up. He could give M
account of the right between th'
two men, as he took his mothe,
from the room as soon as th'
| fracas started.

SENATE TO
Get TARIFF
BILL SOON
Revenue Measure To
Be Reported In Early
In February Says
Party Chiefs

Washington, Jan. 25.-Assur-
ance that the permanent tariff
bill will be reported to the senate
early in February and passed be-
fore the close of the present ses-
sion, was given republican leaders
in the house by senate republican
leaders today at a conference.
Agreement was reached at the
conference that the proposed SOL
dier bonus bill should originate in
the house. House leaders said a
measure would be drafted at once
by the ways and means COMMITTEES
and probably reported to the
house in two weeks.
Demand More Speed.
House members who attended
the conference reported that they
insisted the legislation program
be speeded up so that congress
could adjourn by June /.
Leaders of both houses were
said to have agreed that senate
consideration of the arms confer.
ence treaties should not interfere
with enactment of the permanent
tariff bill or the annual appro.
priation bills. Suggestions were
, made, it is understood, that the
senate either dispose of the trea-
ties within the next two months
before the final rush caused by
debate on supply measures ant
the tariff bills begins, or wait tc
take them up a special session o.
the senate.
To Confer on Bonus.
The bonus bill will be the sub
ject of a house republican confer
ence tomorrow. Despite the OBJ
stacles raised by Secretary Mellor
and others to the bonus legisla
tion, the leaders of both branches
of congress today were said to bt
in accord that the bill should b.
pass I'd before adjournment
Whether taxes or other measures
to raise the bonus funds would bt
included in the bill was question
left open. There was said to bt
some sentiment among the leaders
to pass a bill granting the bonus
and leave over until the next ses
sion of congress the provisions fol
meeting the obligation.
The republican leaders agreed
to make an effort to pass before
adjournment the proposed mer
chant marine legislation. Houst
leaders were of the opinion tina
it would be impossible to dispos'
of either house reapportionmen
or government legislation at thi
session.

POLAND SEEKS LEGION PLAN
Government Asks American Body for
Details In Matter Of Employ
ment for War Victims.

One Of the highest compliments ever
given to the peace-tlme efforts or an
organization was paid the American
Legion when the Polish government
asked that the Legion explain its
plan used in the successful campaign
for unemployed former service men In
the United States in order that JUST
such a system might be used for do
ing away with unemployment In
Poland.
The Legion furnished a detailed
outline of the scheme used In TINS
country, and has received a letter OF
thanks from T. Hoinko, commercial
department manager Of the consulate
general.
More than 100000 ex-soldlers were
given at least temporary employment
during the first week of the Leglon's
drive and It Is estimated that now
more than 100000 men are In
permanent positions largely through

TIME TO CUT SWEET CLOVER
II Allowed to Blossom and Mature
Stems Get Woody and the Leaves
Will Shatter Off.

As a rdle, sweet clover should be
cut Just as the blossom buds appear,
because II allowed to blossom and ma
ture the stems get woody and the
leaves shatter off. The height 4 cut
ting is important. In order to get a
second crop the second year the first
crop of the second years stand should
he cut eight inches above tile ground.
This Is because the plant does not
propagate from the crowns at this
time. as alfalfa does, but from buds
on the lower portion Of the stalks. So
If the first crop in the second year is
cut too low so as TO nip Off those lit
tie branches that bear the shoots
there simply will not be any second
growth.

Withstand. Fungous diseases and para

Aggressive work against these in

lleves. Cooperation among nelghbor-
