CROWD FLOCKS ON TRACK Officials, With Presence of Mind, Flag Other Racers and Pre ' vent More Casualties. SALEM, Or., June 3. (Special.) Harry "Dusty" Rhodes, professional auto pilot representing this city in the races held today on the state fair ground track, was injured in a rear end crash with a machine driven by Jack Ross of Seattle, in the final vent on the -programme. Ross also was injured. Both will recover. The accident happened in front of the grandstand, and was witnessed by about 3000 persons. Many of the spectators rushed on the track im mediately after the crash, forgetting that six other machines were whiz sing around the oval at about 60 miles an hour. Several officials had the presence of mind to seize red flags and rush up the track, stopping the oncoming machines and preventing further casualties. Rhodes Rushed to Hospital. Rhodes was rushed to the Willam ette sanitarium here, where late to night it was reported that he was conscious and. would recover. One foot and leg were shattered and he was bady injured about the chest. The accident came at the conclusion ef an afternoon of racing in the final and what was to have been the main race of the day, a 15-mlle battle for professional cars. The track was made extremely dusty by the previous races and this was blamed for the smash. Maneuver Is Not Seen. Rhodes was to fourth place when the accident occurred. He was almost a lap ahead of Ross, and was coming up behind the latter when Ross head ed his machine to the pits and slowed down. Rhodes, enveloped In dust,1 evidently did not see the maneuver, nd crashed into the rear end of his machine. Both cars were wrecked. Rhodes was caught under the wreckage. He suffered injuries to the chest and head, and one of his legs was man gled. He was taken to a hospital im mediately, and at a late hour tonight was still alive, although his condi tion was pronounced serious. Ross had turned toward the pits so that the mechanic could throw a rag over the radiator, from which the cap had been lost. The collision threw him from his seat to the track, and he suffered severe bruises, although his condition was not considered dangerous. McDonald Gets First Honey. The races, consisting of four auto vents and two motorcycle events, were staged under the auspices of the Oregon Auto Racing association. Frank Watklns of Portland, repre sentative of the American Auto asso ciation, declared the race ended at the time of the wreck, giving awards according to the position the various drivers held at that time. Under that ruling, W. I. McDonald ef Portland, who led the field when the accident occurred, received first money. Rhodes, who is about 20 years of age, Is unmarried and lives in Salem, where he operates an automobile re pair shop. He has taken part in racing of various kinds in the vicinity of Salem for several years, being a fa vorite with the race' fans.

OSER AFFAIR IS ROMANTIC Medal-Bespeckled Horseman Domineers Girl's Mind. ALPINE RIDES AID CHARM Swiss ex-Guardsman Meets Child Just Recovered From Illness and Wins Whole Heart. BY MARGARET DALE. (Copyright, 1922. by The Oregonlan.) CHICAGO, June 3. (Special.) Why does 17-year-old Mathilde McCormlck want to marry a middle-aged Swiss riding master instead of a wholesome American boy? That Is what the American public has wondered as tt read about the strange romance of the daughter of the Harvester king and granddaughter of John D. Rockefeller. Mathilde, herself, gave the answer today. The truth Is that she does not like American boys because she It not at all an .American girl. Seven of the most impressionable of her short 17 years she has spent in Switzerland and even her English has a decided accent. "I don't like these American ginks," she told the writer. "I don't under stand them. And-though America is pretty, it Is not so pretty as Switzer land. And there is nothing to do here. Now in Switzerland one rides and " after a pause "one has someone to ride with." Relatives Not Enthusiastic. Mr. McCormick does not want Oser for his son-in-law. His divorced wife, Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormick, does not want him for a son-in-law. Her father, John D. Rockefeller, dose not want him for his grandson. But the girl wants him for her husband and she probably would have him In spite of aU opposition but for a kink in the Swiss law that requires the consent of her guardian, in this case her father. It is a hard-hearted and strong willed father that cannot be twisted around bis daughter's little finger when she seta her mind on It. And Harold McCormick has been weaken ing fast When Mathilde first came home with her big news, father smiled indulgently and. told her to wait a while. A man of the world himself, he felt that the old saying that absence makes the. heart grow fonder was "all bunk," and that if Mathilde had a chance to look over a few of our bright American boys she would soon cease to yearn for her venerable rid ing master. So he sent her off to Vir ginia. Hot Springs, New York, and other centers where all of the socially approved young men are not "cake eaters" or "lounge lizards." Girl Remains eDtermlned. But Mathilde was not Impressed with them and she came back to Chi cago more determined than ever to be the June bride of her Alpine cava Her. When one considers the exotic at mosphere In which she has grown to young womanhood the attraction which Max Oser holds for her is not surprising, .-.n outline of her romance, related to the writer today by one close to the family, might be expected to win popular sympathy for the young American girl, brought up in exile, except for the disparity in the ages of the couple and the even greater distance between them in the matter of wealth. But the American people have seen so many of the in ternational marriages land on the rocks that they are becoming heartily tired oi toreigners marrying Ameri can girls "for their money." While Mathilde McCormlck was still a little girl ten years old, she was sent high up in the mountains in (Concluded oa Page fi. Column 2.) NEWS EVENTS OF WEEK ARE DEPICTED BY CARTOONIST PERRY.

DEFENSE ASKS DISMISSAL Evidence Declared Lacking in Bigamy Charge. HEARING IS CONCLUDED Disposition of Case Depends on In. terpretation of California . Law Used in Action. LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 3. Rodolph Valentino, hero of film romances, will know next Monday whether he must face a Jury on a charge of bigamy. Justice Hanby announced this today at the conclu sion of the actor's preliminary hear ing on a complaint charging that Valentino married Miss Winifred Hudnut at Mexican, Lower California, and afterwards lived with her at Palm Springs, Cal., while he was still legally married to Miss Jean Acker. Whether Justice Hanby will bind Valentino over to the Los Angeles superior- court for trial or dismiss the complaint, depends upon -Ills in terpretation of the California statutes upon which the. district attorney's office based the charge against the actor. Proceedings Are Attacked. It was contended by Deputy Dis trict Attorney Costello that the fact that Valentino and his second wife lived In the. same cottage at Palm Springs for three days following their wedding, warranted holding the de fendant for trial. W. L Gilbert, attorney for Valentino, argued that no evidence showed marital relations had been' produced. Both cited deci sions they claimed sustained their points. . . Frank James, attorney for the TV mous Players-La sky corporation, at tacked the validity of the proceedings on the ground the acts charged by the prosecution did not constitute bigamy. The arguments followed testimony by Dr. Floretta White, physician of Palm Springs, that she attended the marriage at Mexicali on May 13 last, andi that the couple stayed at her cot tage at the springs that night. Mrs. Valentino was ill, she testified, and asked to have a room by herself, and Valentino and Douglas Gerard, best man at the wedding, were as signed to another room. Dismissal Is Moved. When Mr. Costello submitted his case Mr. James moved to dismiss the complaint, saying he was surprised the deputy district attorney had not so moved. He said It "would be a great misfortune If this defendant should be held to answer when there is no hope of his conviction by a jury." Mr. Costello said there were several points connected with the case upon which the supreme court of California had never rendered a decision and he telt that for this reason. If for no other, there should be an opportunity to adjudicate. He said that Valentino had "willfully and knowingly violat ed the laws of the state" and "formed the intent to so violate them before he went to Mexicali with his consort" He said Valentino "hurried" his bride out of the state alter It became known a prosecution was possible. Mrs. Valentino Held Guilty, j "Do you contend Mrs. Valentino is guilty of bigamy, tooT" asked Mr. Gil bert. "You will find a section of the code which says that if any person marries another person, knowing that the other person has a nusband or wife living, said person shall be guilty of (Continued on Page 2.

With parting cheers and cries of "God speed you," echoing from docks and hillsides where 6000 people waved a farewell. the schooner Maud slipped her cables this afternoon and headed northward with her crew of lntr-jpid scientists who are to follow the leadership of Captain Roald Amundsen in a five years voyage of exploration across the grim white Arctic basin. Before her as Bhe headed up Puget sound went the naval tug Mahopao with band playing, while a dozen yachts and small craft from the Beat tie Yacht club bowed their wings and bobbed about the schooner, forming alongside In double escort lines.

As the Maud passed the government forts on the upper sound, great guns roared a parting salute and ths schooner was soon after Jott to view in- the haze. 1 Impressive ceremonies marked tits departure of the Maud from the Union Oil dock this afternoon.
