THE STJTTOAY OKEGONIATT, PORTLAND." ' OCTOBER 17, 1920 11 NORTHWEST TOURIST DIRECTORS " ELECTED Double Appropriation for Work to Be Asked. W. J. HOFMANN CHOSEN Portland Fan Is Retained as Presi dent of Organization; Adver tising Is Discussed. TACOMA. Wash., Oct. IS. (Spe cial.) So successful has the work of the Pacific Northwest Tourist asso ciation been during the last year that the directors at the annual meeting In Tacoma today determined to urge that the legislatures of Ore gon and Washington and the parlia ment of British Columbia double the appropriations for the ensuing year. At present. Oregon and Washington each subscribe $50,000 annually to the association and British Columbia gives $25,000. Despite his protests that the honor should go to Washington, which has never had a president of the asso ciation. W. J. Hofmann of Portland was re-elected president by acclama tion, the delegates refusing even to consider his suggestion of leaving his present post. , Follow-Up Work la Urged. Importance of commerce clubs and kindred organizations following up the work done by the association was emphasized at today's meeting. Names that are obtained at large ex pense through the association's ad vertising should be followed up and supplied with literature from every city and town in the Pacific north west. Directors pointed out that the like lihood of tourists or homesettlers coming to this section is Increased many times when such prospects have literature of many towns upon which to base their decision. Each city should have a central tourist bureau, also, it was brought out, in which all civic organizations should share. In this way the greatest possible amount of good would come through giving tourists the information they desire without waste of effort, duplication or lost motion. Advertising; Im Discussed. Herbert Cuthbert, executive secre tary of the association, in discussing the advertising done for the whole Pacific northwest, said that the most responses concerning Oregon and Washington come from the middle tates. and the people of New York, Massachusetts and states . bordering on Canada, appeared to be most in terested in British Columbia. He added that the advertising appeal Is to people really worth while, from a tourist or investment standpoint rather than to get responses from persons who had no intention of trav eling and upon whom expensive lit erature, was wasted. Curiosity seek ers are mostly kept out, was his opin ion, by making the appeal of a na ture that necessitated a personal visit to the Pacific northwest. Indorsement was given to the Il lustrated lectures delivered by Frank Branch Riley of Portland throughout the east and he was commended for the interest that he has aroused con cerning the northwest. Need of more excellent tourist hotels throughout the northwest was emphasized by Mr. Hofmann in his annual report. He pave a detailed report of how the an .iplation had advertised during the yt ar just ended and the media used.

The directors will meet again in March In a city to be selected by President Hofmann. LlfJfllOf HEARS PERKINS CANDIDATE TELLS OP ECONO MICAL GAIXS. was that which gave the youth of Oregon of high school qualifications, living outside of high school dis tricts, the right to attend any high school in the state, the expense there by incurred being borne by the coun ty from which they came. He assisted in passing Oregon's first good roads law creating the state highway corn mission, the -mlll tax. the tenure of office bill for schoolteachers and the compensation act; the. bMl which created the welfare commission reg ulating the hours of work for women; the widows' pension aotf assisted in the work for the enabling act, af fecting the interstate bridge; also the county bonding; act, making pos sible the Columbia river highway. At the 1915 session of the legisla ture Df. Perkins was made chairman of the assessment and taxation com mittee, at which session he introduced the bill resulting in the present tax law of divided payments. The speaker told of his work as city commissioner of finance, filling the unexpired term of George L. Baker, now mayor. Dr. Perkins was head of the finance department for eight months during which time he established efficient methods in the office, including such methods as time and money-savers. Dr. Perkins assured his hearers that, if elected, he would give the city of Portland a business administration in his department. , WOMEN ALLEGED TO HATE PUXISHJED LADS AT SCHOOL. Cows That Figure in "Roundup" Start Neighborhood Row and Parents Visit Attorney. An improvised round-up With some friendly cows as principals, patterned after what two boys had seen in the movies, and the alleged beating up of one small youngster, Eddie fisher, are responsible for a neighborhood row at Hillsaale that ended yester day in the district attorney's office. Two complaints have been sworn out by - Deputy District Attorney Graham charging that Mrs. Walter McCredie, wife of Portland's baseball promoter, and Mrs. F. S. Fisher, "wil fully assaulted and beat" Kenneth Buxton and Randal Turner. The case first came up in the court of domestic relations and last Fri day Judge Kanzler believed when he had obtained a promise of good be havior from the ringleaders among the youngsters involved, that he had settled the case. It seems, Ifowever, that the parents Were dissatisfied and are pushing it further. Stories were circulated to the ef fect that one of the boys had been hung upside down over a bridge by another boy, but when pressed as to its truth the youngsters admitted such was not the case. Eddie Fisher, who is ten years old, is then said to- have called one of the boys pro fane names and received a beating for it. Finally Kenneth and Randal set out to have a round-up, such as they had seen in the films, and drove the McCredie and Fisher cows out of pasture trying to rope them. The irate women on October 12 went over to the schcolhouse to have the lads punished and Mrs. McCfedle is alleged to have grabbed Kenneth while Mrs. Fisher took Randal in hand and led them before' the teacher. The boys, who are around 13 and 14 years of age. were playing on the steps and it is charged that the women were unduly rough with them. Mrs. Bessie Turner and Hannah Manning made the complaint. i mint ic uppiicrn nc h HUH I IU HUUUdLU Ul 3 KILLING emu Grand Jury indicts Woman at Newport, Ky. POISON FOUND IN MILK OFF LIST FARMER-LABOR NOMINEE IS XOT OX BALLOT. Party Failed to File Name With Secretary In This State. Parley P. Christehsen, presidential candidate of the farmer-labor party, is the only presidential aspirant whose name does not appear on the Oregon ballot. All other candidates are on the ballot, but there is no farmer-labor ticket of presidential electors. The presumable reason for this oversight is that the farmer labor party has no organisation in the state and now that the ballots have been printed it is too late to rectify the omission. Names of pres Idential electors are filed with the secretary of state and through him are certified to the county clerks to be placed on the general election bal lot. No one, apparently) has taken sufficient interest in the candidacy of Mr. Christensen to attend to thiB mat ter and therefore there are no known presidential electors for the farmer labor party in Oregon. That there is some sentiment for Christensen in the state is evident from the straw votes which have been taken. From time to time, in straw votes, Christensen has received a few ballots, but these would-be supporters wilt have tq. vote for some one else in the general election. The farmeflabor party was hurriedly organized and so far as Oregon is concerned the na tional organizers apparently forgot th exlstance of this state. Relative Accused of Murders Is Be lieved Insane; no Emotion Is Shown at Inquest. LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. IS. Spe cial.) A sensational . development In the poisoning death of three children a month ago at Newport, Ky.. came tffls afternoon when the Campbell county grand jury returned an indict ment containing three counts against Miss Ida Werner, aunt, of the chil, dren, charging her with willful mur der. The woman is 42 years old and had lived nean, the children all the'lr lives. , - - The rhurdred- children were Stan ley, 4 months old; Carl, aged 2 years, and Shirley, 4 years old. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Williams, well known in Newport, were the parents. The three children had been in excellent health until last September 15, when they drank milk from a bottle left at the house by a delivery dairyman. The bottle had been opened. - All became ill and died, under such circumstances that an official investigation was de manded. County Prosecutor McLaughlin, af ter going over the case, announced publicly that willful murder had been committed. The Werner .woman tes tified at the coroner's inquest and told oi the tots having drunk the milk. Arsenic Fond In Milk. ' She displayed no emotion, however, at the recital, although it is alleged she had been in the house when the three died. McLaughlin and other of fleers continued working on the case afer the coroner's Jury had found the children were poisoned. Analysis showed the milk had con tained enough arsenic to kill several people. Every, town within a radius of 50 miles was then searched for some trace of persons who bought aietenic, but the prosecutor was un able to find such a clew. He an nounced several days ago, however, that when the grand jury acted a sensation would develop. Friends believe the indicted woman is unbal anced mentally. She always seemed to have a deep affection for her three little relatives, it is said. Warnings Worry Families. Since the Williams children were murdered, several parents of children in nudlow, Ky., two miles from New port, have been kept in a constant state of terror by anonymous notes telling them their children were to be poisoned.' The latest warning was received yesterday by one family, which was told their child had poi soned candy, but it was knocked out of the hand before the child could eat it. United- States postal authorities have been appealed to to investigate the-source of these threats and the children of the threatened families as well as others in the town are under constant guard. The Williams family was stunned when it became known that Miss Werner had been indicted. No date for the examining trial ha. been fixed so far as is known tonight. Miss Werner has not made a statement. - terested In retaining? the organization, to be held at 10 A. M.

To operate this department cost the county $9475 for salaries and necessary expenses. The state college added to tBIsamount costs each year $12,175. In a letter Mr. Gerrard stated to day: "The county commissioners av decided against the farm bureau ap propriation on the budget. This means that there will be no extension work in Clarke county next year, that we will be deprived of these specialists and that $2700 that should come to the county from the- extension de partment will go to soma mofe hus tling, wide-awake county. As the farm bureau cannot live without the extension workers a meeting will be held at the) farm bureau offices Sat urday, October 22, to determine what action shall be taken. All farm bu reau members are requested to be present." TARIFF IS DISCUSSED McARTHCR TELLS REPUBLICAN VOTE NEED. Protection of American Industry From Cheap Foreign Com-' petition Asked. . In a campaign address at Mount Tabor school last night. Representa tive McArthur discussed the tariff question and urged his audience to do their part toward election of a Republican congress, in order that the protective tariff policy of the Republican party may find expres sion in legislation that will protect American labor and industry from cheap foreign competition. "The tariff question is one of the important issues of the campaign," said Mr. MoArthur. "With gradual return of normal conditions of pro duction throughout the World, we are witnessing the spectacle of a flood of products of Other countries at our ports and as a consequence depres sion in the market for home-grown products. The American people wish to maintain high standards of living for their farmers, laborers and other producers, but they cannot do this unless congress writes upon the statute books legislation that will put a duty upon imports from foreign coutries. "The republican party is com mitted to - the protective tariff and democratic party Is hostile to it- If America Is to be rescued from the ruinous competition of cheap foreign products. It will be through the elec tion of a republican president, a re publican senate and a republican house." Mr. McArthur also discussed other Issues of the present campaign. He will continue to address voters in vstriotis sections of Multnomah county until the eve of election. Lower Prices FARM MEETING CALLED Problem of Clarke Bureau Is to Be Discussed.
