Dlsbarbent of George Arthur Hall, a Portland at torney, was voted by the grievance committee of the Oregon Bar Associa tion at a meeting today, u uarges against Hall will be Bled shortly In the Supreme Court. The disbarment of the attorney will be sought as a result of his alleged participation In the badger game" by which "Cap tain" William Tyler and hla mother. Mrs. Parmella Tyler, were mulcted out of 20,000. The grevance committee also lis tened to testimony bbth for and ad verse to John Sievers, a Clackamas county Justice of the Peace, and prac ticing attorney of Oregon City. At torney Sievers represented Tyler In the litigation started as a part of the "'badger game" and received a 4000 fee from Mrs. Tyler. No action was taken with reference to Mr. Sievers, members of the coni-i mlttee xpresslng a desire to hear further testimony before they vote to have him disbarred from practice In the courts of this state. Mr. Sievers appeared before the commute and asserted that he had no understand ings or connections with Ball at any time during the negotiations. It Is understood that William Tyler, who employed Sievers as his attorney, will be called to offer tsetlmony before the committee. The steps toward Hall's disbarment are the result of the arrest about six months ago of William Tyler and Mrs. Ethel Henderson, in an East Side apartment Their arrest waa demand ed by Harry Henderson, the woman's husband. A day after this arrest Henderson brought suit for 1100.000 against Wil liam Tyler and his wealthy mother, Mrs. Parmella Tyler, for alleged alien ation of the affections of Mrs. Hen derson. The day after this suit was filed a "settlement" was reached out of court, by which Mrs. Tyler paid $20,000 to have all proceedings drop ped. On the same day this money was paid to George Arthur Hall, the at torney for Henderson. Mrs. Hender son and her husband effected a re conciliation and left the city with something like $6000. They were both indicted later, but every effort to lo cate them has been futile. Since then various facts have been brought to light of sufficient importance to con vince District Attorney Evans that .Tyler and his mother were victims of the "badger game." The entire matter was laid before the Oregon Bar Association, following the signing of an affidavit by Mrs. Parmella Tyler, In which the 83-year old woman reviewed the history of the affair and declared under oath that both Hall and Attorney Sievers threatened to send both herself and her son to the penitentiary unless she paid over $50,000. In this affidavit she says she finally agreed to pay $20,000, which the attorneys accepted. Of this amount Sievers retained $5000 as his fee, turning $15,000 over to George Arthur Hall, attorney for Henderson. It was later asserted that Hall gave the two Hendersons approximately $6000, retaining, it is alleged, nearly $9000 as his "fee." Mr. Sievers said he had advised William Tyler not to Bettle for $20, 000 because he thought it was too much. Mr. Sievers, after taking $5000 as his fee, later returned $1000 to Mrs Tyler when she objected to the amount of his fee tor the services performed by him. He produced his personal check for $800 in favor of Mrs. Tyler, and said the remaining $200 was returned to her.

The German men ace, steady advance of which has been reportec tor some time tn dispatches, appears at last to have reached a point where the watchful waiting at titude of the American Administra tion has been challenged. The Russian situation Is understood to have been the subject at a confer ence at the White House today be tween President Wilson and Secretar ies Lansing, Baker and Daniels, Ad miral Benson, chief of naval opera tions, and General March, chief of staff. There was no announcement after the conference and probubly will be none for the present, but it was said unofficially that an important decis ion had been reached. Urgent appeals from the allied gov ernments for American approval of and co-operation In Joint measures to meet the German menace , through Russia, have been before President Wilson tor several days. Until now. however, there has been no Intima tion that ha had changed his position. based on recommendations of his mil itary advisers, that a successful mil itary effort in Russia was not feas ible. For military reasons, strictest set' recy Is observed concerning the ex act nature of steps proposed by the allies. American and allied naval forces now are guarding war supplies, both at Vladivostok, terminal of the Trans Siberian Railroad and Kola, terminal of the railroad on the Artie Coast, which Is reported threatened by Ger man forces In the Interior. In some quarters It has been said that since the United States regarded intervention purely as a military prob lem, the President, heretofore as op ponent of military action on the ground of Impracticability, would be julded by the decision of the supreme war council at Versailles and General Foch. Reports today that the supreme war council had given a decision were not confirmed In official circles. Y. M. C A. Secretary Gives Life to Save Americans 4 vJ-Zp S'Vj J . - . i.. OUY COOPIK.

The fact that this automobile, of the vintage of years gone by, had no state license troubled tho canny one not. The machine to be sold was a Maxwell. Another car, a Studebaker, had a 1918 license, so our hero deprives the front end of the latter of the tag, and puts It on the rear end of the Maxwell, thus making one set of tags do for both vehicles, or so he thought. With an assistant driving the car to be marketed, Mr. Sheldon starts out ahead with the Studebaker, and passes all the sleuths of northern Marion and southern Clackamas without molestlon.

So, avers Nora Bnyes, In the Amerl can Magazine, In her own words : "It Is a commonplace of the theater that the public, want, above all things, to be entertained. But that Is very for from saying that they want to be amused. Humor is by no means the easiest way to reach the human heart. There are those who will tell you that the public would far rather laugh thnn cry. And when they do you enn Just tell them to toll it to Sweeney. The American public would rather cry than laugh any dny. Where in it is not a bit different from the public In Australia, India, Russia or France. The secret of this Is very simple : If you can make anybody cry, you make them forget themselves. The minute you make them forget themselves they are being entertained. If you can set them to thinking about your blues Instead of their own, they are taken completely out of them- selves." To Christen Destroyer for Her Hero Husband j ..
