Mrs. Laura riune of Hawthorne. CaL, disappeared mysteriously. Murder was suspected I at the line, but a strange lethargy seized the police department and nothing much was done towards un- Iraveling the mystery. Two months ago the girl's skele I ton was found. In making excava tions at Russell street and Alblna avenue workmen ran-across the bones, which recently were identified by Mrs. Clune, who made a trip from California for that purpose. Identi fication was made through a ring land comb found with the skeleton. Case Taken Up Again. Following the Identification detec- Itlves again were assigned to the case. Much progress was reported in solving the case until, a few days ago. the detectives, according to George B. Mills, brother-in-law of the girl, told tiira that unless he and Mrs Clune jould offer certain testimony there was no use in investigating the mat ter further. Mills said that he could not do this, and according to him, the inspectors then said that the case practically was at an end. In spite of the apparent lack of Activity in the police department the probable murderers of the girl were l-tald to be known, and even the de tails of the crime, were declared to liave been related in the underworld ijf the city.

The wearing of a white fjawer, pre ferably a white carnation, is In order today for this is Mothers' day,. Portland has made preparations for the observance of the day In a fitting; manner.

"The writing of a letter or send ing- a telegram or telephone message to the mother. If living. "The displaying of the flag in honor of patriotic! women, especially thoe mothers whose sons have given serv ice to the country.

They have arranged to take all of the mothers in the city's old ioiks Homes to the programme as their guests. The city's oldest mother attending the observance will recelvo a big basket of carnations from the girls of the community service. The florist shops experienced a rush last night and the majority of them sold out practically all the white flowers in stock in addition to large quantities of blooms of other hues.

FRENCH OCCUPATION FEAR Entente's New Decision Held Extremely Dangerous. AMERICAN AID SUGGESTED United States Is Said to Occupy Position From Which She Can Regulate Reparations. BY MAXIMILIAN HARDEN. Germany's Foremost Publicist. (Copyright, 1921. by The Oregonlan.) BERLIN, May 7. SpecIal cable.)- The stentorian voices which before Troy made themselves heard above the voices of 50 men would not be loud enough today to cry: 'Not for love of Germany, but for the sake of European peace, let all well-meaning men prevent this new step of the allies the establishment of military and economic foreign rule over the industrial districts 'of the lower Rhine and Ruhr." We are confronted by the most fateful decision since Versailles. Once the armies of France march in and a new rule is Imposed, upon German in dustry, the end of the occupation is incalculable. The proposed payments are soread over 30 years, and the creditor is deemed untrustworthy, there will be always the chance to say the "pledge" is unrelinqulshable, Occupation Is Dangerous. "Permitting one nation to control most of the valuable possessions of another, especially when there is great hatred between them,- exposes the former to a most dangerous temp tation. The keeping of the whole of the west German Industrial district. the coal, the iron, the steel, the chemi cals, the textiles and the dyestuffs under French control would, be .too enticing to expect a speedy end to the arrangement. Nor could there be any hope from an ultimatum present ed to Germany after the occupation has begun. It would be like a sur geon bargaining about his fee After making the incision. It would be easy to Imagine what conditions we would have to meet before the politico-military occupations would cease. It would be coWardly, even stupid, to deny that the German government and parliament have jnade terrible blunders in dealing with the repara tions question. Juggling la Confessed. Even the last proposals made to President Harding were not accept able, first, because they represented arithmetical juggling (50,000,000,000 marks at 4 per cent would not equal 200,000,000,000 in 50 or even 60 annui ties), and second, because they , were linked with conditions demanding at a most unfavorable moment that the allies abandon their most important advantages under the treaty of Ver sailes. But everybody must admit that the reparations problem is the most dif ficult a nation ever faced. A nation? No, the most difficult a continent ever faced. Or, perhaps, tne entire civilized world! - , Take a single phase of the problem: If we offer the manual labor of thousands of German workmen to re build northern France, Paris answers.- v .

World's Peace Dp AND INK IMPRESSIONS BY CARTOONIST PERRY ON SOME RECENT I. IPS 'TO Joseph P. Tumulty and Ray Baker Consult Democratic ex-Leader About State Documents. BY ELIZABETH KING STOKES. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 7. (Spe cial.) Woodnpw Wilson today has gained so much in health that al though he is far from strong he is seeing a few callers, talking over the events of the day, and watching with an interest second to none the progress of national affairs-, accord ing to friends closest to him. But what does Woodrow Wilson, suddenly relieved from the engross ing responsibility of state affairs, do with himself all day? Will the coun try find him restored and active again, andxhow soon? Woodrow Wilson is so much better in health that he is able to walk unaided around his new home, in his library and out to the homelike sun porch overlooking his garden. This is a distinct gain. At the time of the inauguration it was difficult for him to get around with out considerable assistance and the strain of that week told on his con dition. He has benefited by the change to his permanent home, but has passed through a period of readjustment which was somewhat hard for him, ior ne Bad to lit into the new en vironment mentally, with the added difficulty of' little physical facility and a slight setback due to inaugura Ition exertion'and moving. Moreover he was suddenly removed from the executive work and the White House. and to such mental changes he wan by nature particularly susceptible, But he has settled down to the new routine, and the substantial house shows completeness and quiet with Its harmonious rose draperies and sheltering cream colored net curtains at every window. The back yard has screen of tall evergreens on the Massachusetts avenue side, and from the rear of the house to the edge of the precipitous terrace overhanging the next street is a garden facing the sun, with a garden gate and steps leading down to the roadway at the side. The sun porch faces the garden. and here Mr. Wilson sits in seclusion. taking a eun bath, relaxing and fill lng his lungs with the clear air of the heights, one of the choice spoti of the capital, where President Hard ing had his private home and John Hays Hammond and others have built their residences. - .every oay Mr. wnson takes a drive the house is near the entrance to Rock Creek park, with its miles of wooded roads. He has been out In rough weather such as has been expe rienced this week. Joseph P. Tumulty comes once f week. Tumulty Is hard at work on his book, and- his friends say already has reached discussion of the Mexican situation and its relation to the Wil son regime. Thus ' the story of the Wilson administration is likely to bo written "around the chief actor rather than by him. Ray Stannard Baker is another of the ex-president's confidants who is frequently at his homo consulting him regarding the book he is writing. based upon Mr. Wilson's personal col lection of peace conference documents and memorabilia. The numerous official functions to which he is invited, now at their eight here, with the president and Mrs. Harding as the guests of honor and with the diplomatic corps re ceiving, are not for him as yet, and it is said it will be several months before Washington sees him taking any part in the social rounds.

VOICE REGAINED' IN FLIGHT Veteran, Unable to Speak Above Whisper, Talks Freely High Up, WASHINGTON, May 7. H. A. Renz, Jr., an overseas veteran who recov ered his voice during a recent air- plane flight here, made another flight today and again regained his voice, which failed him a second time on April 25. When Renz reached Boiling field today he was unable to speak above a whisper, but after flying half an hour at an altitude of 12,500 feet, he could talk freely. Public health service officials are not certain that the flights will effect a permanent cure, but plan to con tinue the experiments if necessary.

M'NARY ALSO IS INFORMED Frierson Accused of Usurping Duties of Court. WHOLE ACTION VIEWED President Piatt, However, Refuses to Make Public Message to Attorney-General. Efforts of the Oregon Bar associa tion-to bring about a reversal of the stand of the United States attorney general and to have the case of Henry Albers. wealthy Portland miller, con victed under the espionage act, go be fore the United States uupreme court. are continuing. A full presentation of the stand of the bar association was set forth in a letter mailed to Attorney-General Daugherty yesterday and further de tails were contained In a letter sent to Senator McNary. Text Made Public. The text of the letter to Mr. Daugherty was not made public by Harrison G. PlatC president of the association, but he declared last night that it set forth the contention of the body that the stand taken by Solicitor- General Frierson is usurpation of the duties of the supreme court. It also points out the difference between the present position of the attorney general's office as opposed to that of April 29, when the decision to con fess error was announced. The letter to Mr. Daugherty was spoken of as a "letter from one law yer to another," and, according to Mr. Piatt, was a courteous and friendly statement setting forth the full grounds of the case as they ap pear to the local lawyers. 'I consider this ac ase of principle and position rather than of person ality now," said Mr. Piatt last night. In my opinion Mr. Albers holds only a subordinate position in the question at 'ssue." The letter sent to Senator McNary on behalf ot the Bar association fol lows: Difficulty Is Cited. I note that In your telegram, Mr. Maher, clerk of the supreme court. finds some difficulty in a request for leave to file a brief as amicus curiae after the case has been decided by the court." We feel sure that Mr. Maher overlooked the case of Green vs. Biddle, 8 Wheat, 1-18; also 6th Law Ed.. 647-552. In that case Henry Clay, as amicus curiae, moved for a rehearing after an opinion had been handed down, and moved 'that the certificate to the circuit court of the opinion of this court upon the questions stated, should be withheld, and the case continued to the next term for argument.' The motion was granted. In the Northern Security company case, 191 U. S., 555, 48 LAW fed., 289 the court declared that it was within its jurisdiction to allow appearance by amicus curiae in any case when justified by the circumstances. It would seem that it would not need citation of. any authority to sug gest that the matter is entirely with in the discretion of the court to per mit or deny the application as it deemed the circumstances Justified. This brings us to consideration of what the circumstances are as we un-d-erstand them here. It appears that n application for a writ of certiorari was based upon an a'lleged conflict f decision between the circuit court appeals for the ninth circuit and (Concluded on Page 4, Column 1.)

MANY ATTEND EXERCISES President or 51111s Col lego Among Distinguished Speakers Who Ex tol Physical Education. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, May 7. (Special) As a fitting trlbuie to the womanhood of Oregon, the Woman's Memorial hall today was dedicated at the university, when hundreds of persons from every part Of the state gathered to 'ltnes the event which signified a new epoch In the education of the young women of the northwest. "I am touched with enthusiasm when I look at the woman's building and think what it means," said Dr. Harry B. Torrey, In Introducing Dr. Aurelia H. Reinhardt. who spoke at the morning ceremonies. It consti tutes a fitting memorial to the per sistent efforts of Mrs. Gerllnger in raising money for its construction. "It is not so much a women's build ing, as it is a part of the whole uni versity Such a building and equip ment are really necessary to make up an all-around institution. Health Programme Complete. "The school of physical education stands for health and the woman's building, with its fine equipment, cor rective rooms, open air gymnanlum, athletic field, rest rooms and places for social gatherings, affords wonder ful opportunities for a full health programme. Education no longer can be considered Just so much mathe matics, science and languages, but It must Include a rational share of rare and correction of bodily ailments." Much the same thought was fol lowed out by Dr. Reinhardt In her address, the theme of which was "The Relation of Physical Education and Health Programme to College Work,' It Is a privilege to stand In this noble building, dedicated to the health of the people of the state of Oregon." said Dr. Reinhardt. "Ths world needs not only the old wisdom of the past, but also the new wisdom of today," she stated. (.rreka Larked Wisdom. In spite of the great wisdom of the Greek philosophers, they lacked certain knowledge and tho kingdom fell. A lack of knowledgo of right methods ot living has caused a great deal of unnecessary mortality in the past and is doing so yet. The goal of education has changed much In the last 300 years. Knowledgo at one time was sought for tho sake ol knowledge alone, but today Its ap plication to dally ltfo Is tho thing of greatest Importance. Modern educa tion Is more dynamic than ever be fore, for it has stored up In It such great amount of public service. The movement for physical educa tion Is not purely an educational movement. It is a movement to Im prove living for tho mass as well as for the class. Health Movement Modrra. "The public health movement Is comparatively recent.
