DEFENSE SEEKS MOTIVE - Mrs.' Beatrice Cannailj's Name Is Mentioned by Several Witnesses r During Progress of Trial. 3; Murphy Beasley, a negro with pat ent leather hair, whioh is an excellent 5 advertisement for the "hair straight- ener" for which he said he is agent, . was star witness for the prosecution i In abatement proceedings brought ; against the Golden West hotel, Broad- way and Flanders street, before Cir , cuit Judge Morrow yesterday. Beas- ley told lurid tales of Kmma. "known - as the vampire of the Golden West hotel"; Louise, Helen and other young women he had known while staying at the hotel. Last names made no impression on his mind. A drawback to Beasley's testimony, 7 from the viewpoint of the state, was - that most of the incidents which he . recalled with a natural humor which convulsed the court and spectators on C several occasions, occurred between - 1914 and 1917, a period scarcely with in consideration of the court in the ' present case. He said he had not re-v- sided at the hotel for the past year and a half and admitted he knew little , of affairs in that hostelry during that time. The abatement action was be " gun last June. Woman' Interest Shown. When first asked ' how he hap pened to be a witness in the case, ; Beasley insisted that he was testify ing entirely of his own volition. Un- der a fire of cross-questioning from John H. Stevenson and Robert Ha guire, he admitted at last that he had been requested to appear by Mrs. Beatrice Cannady, a woman who had aided him to obtain a position as janitor at the North Bank station, a f job he still holds after several years. j The name of Mrs. Cannady cropped - out in the testimony of several other witnesses for the prosecution, under cross-examination, as the source of ; the bad reputation of the hotel testi- - fied to. Mrs. Cannady has a $25,000 slander i suit against W. D. Allen, proprietor ; of the Golden West hotel, and also is chief witness for the state in a crim ; inal libel suit against J lien and oth- ers. which the defense is contending would show that she had a motive in ; spreading tales about the Golden 7 West, even before the abatement ao ; tion started, because of ill-feeling ex- tending over several years. Harvey Thatcher, police lieutenant, ' George Hurlburt. deputy sheriff, and other officers of the law who have caused or been in raids on the Golden West hotel for one purpose or an other, were called to testify as to its reputation. They chiefly ad- - mitted under cross-examination that - booze and gambling rather than im morality were charges they had in- ". vestigated. Z Other Hotels Drawn In. ! "I would, hate to have the three ..best hotels in town abated on what t I have heard about them," commented ; Attorney Stevenson in the examina- . tion of Lieutenant Thatcher of the Z. morals squad. "Is it not true that Z you have heard virtually ih same things concerning immorality !n most ; of the hotels of the city, including ; some of the best, that you have about - the Golden West?" Thatcher admitted he had. Z Mrs. G. J. Frankel. superintendent 2 of the women's protective division. .' testified to numerous complaints against the Golden West hotel, only i one of which emanated from Mrs. "" Cannady. That was the only one in . which she remembered the name of the complainant, however. Dan Marx. J. P.

VIOLA DANA in the farce "Please Get Married," will come to the Strand theater tomorrow. Will iam Russell in "Sacred Silence" will show for the last times today. "Please Get Married" is spicy but clean. It is a simon pure farce, in genious, highly seasoned and the story o a bride and bridegroom against whom fate, parents and the hotel clerk had designs. The story is from the pen of James Culien and Lewis Allen Browne and after six months on Broadway, where it was produced on the stage by Oliver Mo rosco. it was still drawing record crowds. Miss Dana is being featured in a series of new farc&s which have been proved on Broadway and elsewhere tremenduous successes. She plays the role of a troubled bride who first is chagrined to find that the parson who performed her wedding ceremony is not a parson and then that he is. An trim Short is the man who plays op posite her in the role of Ferdinand Oliver Walton. His part calls for as much dramatic skill as that of Miss Dana and due to their jcint efforts the production possesses a finish that is truly delightful. The sub titles in "Please Get Mar ried" are taken from the original lines. They are said to add punch and fun to the production as a whole. The Strand management announced yesterday that "Jinx the new Mable Normand feature said to be on a par with "Mickey." the last big produc tion done by that comedian, has been obtained for the Strand theater. It will show during the first pare this month, it is believed.

A victory for the' conservative ele ment of labor in Portland was regis tered last night when seven delegates to the central labor council were elected by the Portland retail clerks' union, all of whom are said to be ree from radical influence or leanings. The new delegates elected are: S. Block, C. J. Hayes. V. Kaiser, J. D. Myall. G. H. Nickles. H. C. Novak and F. C. Preston. J. Thornton, a candidate, and said to be the leader of the radical ele ment, received the smallest number of votes cast for any one aspirant for the board of delegates, it was stated. At the meeting, which was held in the Woodmen of the World hall, the following other officers were elected: President. J. D. Myall; first vice-presi- - dent, S. Block; second vice-presidenl. , A. G. Pribnow; secretary and treas urer, L. C. Novak. Circle. Ethel Clayton is the star at the Circle theater for today only. Her vehicle is "Vickey Van," a modern de tective story with all the attendant thrills of a narrative of that descrip--tion. It will appeal to all who like a romance with a touch of romance and much suspense. A comedy and a pictograph are also included in the programme for today. Screen Gossip.

Logue and is the first of a series of stories by that author to be picturized alternately with a series of Robert W. Chambers stories, has just been started. Alan Forrest holds the record for screen fidelity He was Mary Miles Minter's leading man for three years when the little blonde was with American. He did a seriol for TJni versal. and now he is playing opposite May Allison with Metro. Bryant Washburn, who only last week finished "Too Much Johnson the ' screen version of the famous William Gillette comedy, has started the production of, "The Six Best Cel lars," a picture based upon the timely story by Holworthy Hall and Hugh M. Kahler. Everybody can boast of ancestors, naturally enough, but not many motion-picture favorites can boast of a lineage which includes an authentic lord with a castle and everything the everything including a town named after the lord, Helen Chad wick, a star in Goldwyn pictures, is one actress in the silent drama who can boast (not that she does) of descent from a real lord. She was born in the town of Chad wick, N. Y., which took its cognomen from her great-grandfather. Lord Chadwick, an Englsh ;.eer. Her grand father was a president of the ailk mills which have made the town pros perous and her father an executive in the same mills while her mother, pre vious to her marriage, was a singer. To her mother must be ascribed the early interest which Helen took in dramatic subjects. Nearly everybody knows that yel low grease paint has almost univer sally superseded the use of pink flesh tint for motion picture make-up pur poses, but few know why the change was made, how it came about and who effected it. The man responsible is Marc Mc Dermott. When Mr. McDermott made his first picture he found that all of the players used a flesh tint, which as he soon discovered, was unsatis factory in varying lights, it photo graphed in varying tints, some times a chalk-white, often a gray, frequently a gray black. Because of this variance an actor sometimes had a chalk-white face when he ran up a flight of stairs and a gray-black visage when he entered the room used as a setting for the following scene. Being somethng of an amateur photographer and pen and .nk artist, Mr. McDermott made his own greet ing and announcement cards, com bining photography with sketching. He bought a print of a colored Japa nese sketch, photographed it, ran off the required number of prints and was in the act of mounting one of them when his attention was sud dently attracted by the fine natural tint he had obtained from the yellow printing ink used to color the face of one of he characters. Imme diately the thought occurred to him: If the yellow printing ink will re produce to a natural tint, why not yellow grease paint for makeup?
