PAST SENATE
Salem, Feb. 2—The Oregon Sen
ate yes'erday afternoon parsed the
bone dry prohibition, bill known as
House Bill No. 100 after first ma*
ina some amendments thereto .
It is thought that the House
will pass the bill as it now stands
I with the amendments added.
One rf the most drastia changes
in the bill from its original form,
is the reduction, from two to one
quart a month that a person can
tjuv on prescription for medical,
scientific or mechancal purposes. An
other s'rikina; revision is that physi
cians will no' be allowed to pre
scribe intoxicating liquors in any
form for medical purposes.
Permits for the purchase of al
cohol will have to be signed by the
district attorneys in person and nol
by any depu'y, as the original bill
provided.
Five days o* grace after thf
enactment of the law is given tc
common carriers to deliver intoxi
eating liquors mported: under ttu
original act, although an ardent
fight was made for a 10-day period
which received bitted oppotiitioi
from the radical bone dry element
If the common carriers have tunj
uncalled for packages after th<
five-day period, they Will have U
return them within a period of 3d
days to the consigning firm.

Were it not for the fact that

leaps in prices, Charles Cooper, a
big colored fellow of Spokane
Washington, would have tho high
cosf of living eliniinatod from life's

t Cooper was arrested for larceny
g and while confined In jail heard
. that his sweetheart had gone back
on him. He thereupon smashed up
. a jelly glass and ate it. The coun
ty doctor set the date for his death
as the glass slowly; ground into him.
But Charles only had a bad stom
' a.cli ache. l>ater he ate a hat pin,
some safety pins and other pieces
of metal, according to the disclos
ure of the X-Ray.
A tier it seemed that Cooper had
beccme reconciled to a diet of bread
■and potatoes, lie suddenly became
ravenous one day and ate a safe
ty razor blade, broken into email
pieces. The doctor told the cor
oner to be ready, but Cooper fool
ed him again and yag reduced once
more to meat and Bpuds and hard

Now he is out of jail and on his

AID ASKED BY A
CIVIL .WAR WIDOW
Sau Francisco, Jan. 23—She was
a little old lady, past her eighty
fifth b'rthdav, and she apologized
for bothering army officers at West
ern deoartment headquarters to
day for Information. She wanted to
know how to make an apnlication,
for a pension.
She said she was the widow of
Capt. B. M. .Cox, who commanded a
company of Illinois volunteers in
the civil war.
"11a died in 1876 and 1 thought
I wouldn't have to ask for a pen
sion, but circumstances have chang
ed that," she said. Her husband,
■she said, was a law partner of
Abraham Lincoln when the latter
was a struggling lawyer in a little
Illinois town.
Mrs. Cox said she was married to
Caut. Cox in St. Louis in 1862.
Tnis record, together with her hus
band's discharge papers, uhe said,
was destroyed in the fire of 1906,
the two mos* important pieces of
evidence required in securing a
pension.

WAR DAMAGE FIFTEEN BILLION
DOLLARS IN FRANCE ALONE
Paris. Jan. 25—Fifteen, billion i
francs i? the estimate most general- '
ly accepted as the total of wa)r dam
ages to public and private property
iu France, according to George Des
pas, of the War Damages Cominittee
of the Chamber of Deputies, who
has charge of the legislation, for
the settlement oX those dagames.
Although prior to tfcia war Buch
damages were classed as catistro
rbic3 over which. neither men nor
aovernments had any control the
general principle of indemnity for
such damages whether by the in
vaders or by the home araiy was
accepted by the Chamber of Depu
ties last, year and a provisional sum
of 300,000,000 francs hag already
been appropriated for immediate
distribution
Over two million claims are an
ticipated, a number eo vast that it
woull tafce the 30 court# of the in
vaded departments of France about
17$ years to Bettle them at their
normal rate of procedure, Bays N.
Dc&plas, in explaining to the As
sociated Press the bill now under
discussion in Parliament. "It pro
poses," he says, "the creation of
Temporary War Indemnity Tribunal
somewhat similar to the Courts of
Clajmc in the United States after
the Civil War. Each oanton a nd
each department in the invaded re
gion will have commission which
will apprise damages.
The Temporary; War Tribunals in
each department will pass upon
these claims, and in cases of con
test, appeals will be made to a
body called the Highest Commission
composed of members of parlia
ment, justices of the supreme court,
representatives of the different agri
cultural socieUee and Various de
partments of the government, as
already provided for by the law of
July 20, 1915,
"Tho bill admits all property
holders, corporations, departments
and municipalities as well as indiv
iduals to t-be right to indemnities.
It does mo* specifically accord the
righ' to foreign! property holders
because such a general principle
would establish a precedent from
which other nations would at on«>
benefit without any prospect bf I
reciprocal advantage for France. As
to neutrals and subjects of coun
.ries allied to France, it will be a
juestion of treaties to be negotiat
ed, in the main, since the only
ixiating treaties that might be in
repreted ae entitling subjects of '
mother country to the same rights
is French citizens are with Switz- ,
>r)and, Spain and Deomark."
Ihc re-employment of the sums
paid as indemnities in. the recon
struction or recongtitution of the
urortrty destroyed or damaged is
one of tlie much debated articles of
the measure. The object of it is to
assure the reconstruction of France'
economic machinery and. discourage
any tendency of claimants "to aban
dau industries or occupation up
on which the prosperity of the
country depends.
"Prompt reparation of damage
after the liberation of the invad
ed territory and immediate re
construction of industries and
h.omes so as to restore at the
earliest possible moment the econ
omic life of the devastated prov
inces: that is what we are seek
ing to accomplish," said M. Desplas.
The Germans still occupy 2354
of tjie 36,274 communes of France.
In <iiose communes there were 3,
430,822 inhabitants before the war
with £75,000 habitations and 15,
400 factories. Complete information,
regarding damages in territory that
was temporarily occupied by the
Germans but now liberated has bee«
gathered by the committee from 753
communes and showed a total of
lG,li69 buildings completely demol
ished and 25,594 partly destroyed.
The loss in raw materials and ma
chinery taken from the department
o' the Nord alone will run into bil
lions. The department of the AJsne
has also suffered heavily aa well as
tho pas de Calais while the de
part/men' of thg Ardennes, entirely
occupied since August 1914, will
furnish claims runnicg into the hun
dreds of millions.
