HAD A QUARREL M6ther Tried to Keep Girl V From Going With Men and She Shot Her Through the Head. (By Associated Press.) SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15. Standing dry-eyed and with perfectly controlled nerves in her cell in the city prison, Dor othy Ellington, 16 year old business college graduate told interviewers today that she shot and killed . her mother, Mrs. Anna Ellingson, in their home here on Tuesday morning be cause the elder woman had'ob- jected to her "jazzing around at all hours of the night." She was charged with murder. Both as a favor and as a test of her nerve, the girl Jisld a lighted match as steadily as though she were a statue in or der that the, flashlight camera men of the newspapers could "spot" her in the dim jail corri dors. She spoke firmly, unsmiling and apparently without pity. "Mother was kind to me," she said, "as kind as she could be. She did not object to my having a good time. She object ed to the late hours I kept, that's all. "The musicians I went with did not get away until around midnight. So I would start out on the parties late. That is what mother objected to'. If 1 had started out early and gone to a movie or something until it came time to. go to the party, it would have been all right. , "I shot in a fit of temper; a sudden fit of temper. It was af ter we had quarreled about my late hours end my jazz com panions." The girl was found by three detectives in a lodging house a few miles from her home. She had to be roused from bed. She had not left the city, she said. ' She was traced through Dave Stein, a companion of the even ing before, at whose home she had attended a party while the body of her mother lay at the morgue. Describing this party, the girl said: "I had several drinks there. Every little while the image of my dead mother would flash in A i - i i i -j .i j l I . j d drink to drive it away.

Me cnarges politics. "As governor of the state of mem, - ana a memoer or tne board or control, I wish to protest against the removal of W. M. Hendershott as commandant of the Oregon State Soldiers Home for the reason that he has been found to be by far the most economical commandant that has ever had charge of the home, and fully in aympathy with the purposes of the institution. ' By rigid economy, great efficiency, the discharging of unnecessary employes and the consolidation of departments he has already effected reductions in the expense of the home that means a saving of fully 20 per cent. "Mr. Riddle was discharged as commandant owing to charges filed against him by the Spanish War Veterans. A hearing was held at Roseburg and the majority of the board of control at that time found that the charges were sustained by the testimony, this evidence show ing that Commandant Riddle was not conducting his duties in sympathy with the purposes of the institution. "The removal of Commandant Hendershott la entirely political, and not for the good of the service. "I wish to call attention to the fact that when I became governor in January. 1923. I could have removed Commandant Riddle at any time from his position had I acted ing today. ' However, I allowed him to be retained until Auputt, 1Z4, and he would have been there yet had net a sufficient cause arisen for his removal. By the removal of Commandant Hendershott a faithful, economical administrator of public affairs la retired to private life for purely political reasons."
