Sixteen-Year-Old Girl Is

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.

SALEM, Ore., Jan. IS. With
Treasurer Kay voting for the ouster and Governor Pierce opposing It,
the state boad of control today removed William M. Hendershott from
superintendency of the State Soldiers Home at Roseburg and again
elected to that office George W. Riddle, who formerly held the position.

took at the time Riddle was removed by Pierce and Jefferson Myers,

Governor Pierce was helpless at the meeting today, so made only
a good-humored protest, but later dictated for the minutes and the press
m lormai protest. 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." ' .
fc The change at the home will be effective January 20.
