ATTORNEYS ARE
ACQUITTED OF
FRAUD CHARGES
On tho ground thut the plaintiff full
bit to show any fraudulent conspiracy
against Justice of the l'uace John N.
Rlovera and Attorney Hall of Tort
lund. Circuit Judge Morrow kicked
skyward thu suit brought by ParmeMu
and William N. Tyler BKnlnst the two
attorneys. In Portland Friday morn
ing and threw the whole matter out
of court on tho defendant's motion for
nun milt.
The suit was brouKht last Ang.ist,
following tho settlement of a JlOO.OoO
dnmage suit brought by Harry L. Hen
derson against the Tylers. Attorney
Hall represented Henderson and the
Tylers were represented by Attorney
Slevers, the suit being sottled before
trial by the parties. Against the ad
vice of Slevers, Tyler Bettlod with the
plaintiff, who with his wlfo left the
state, just In lime to escape arrest on
a badger game charge. Slevers was
paid J.'iOOO by his client at attorney's
fees, and on the settlement Tyler paid
Hull $15,000, which It was alleged
was split with tho Hendersons.
Uiter on complaint of Mrs. Tyler,
the aged mother, that Slovers charg
es seemed exborbltunt, the Oregon
City lawyer offered to settle the mat
ter In any satisfactory manner and re
paid the sum of $1,000 at her sugges
tion. Two hundrod of this amount had
been advanced to get Tyler out of Jail
and the bulance Attorney Slevers paid
by check, with the endorsement, that
It was In full aottloment of all
claims. Mrs. Tyler accepted this
check, but dented on tho stand that It
bore any endorsement of settlement
It was shown by a local banker, how
over, that the check bore the endorse
ment when It enme from Portland In
due course. This was proven during
tho trial, following Mrs. Tyler's state
ment. The complaint charged a fraudulent
conspiracy on the part of Slevers,
Hall and the Hendersons to defraud
Tyler and his mother, who are wealthy
Portlandors. Tyler was on the stand
nearly all day Thursday and was giv
en a most gruelling cross examination
by Attorney J. K. Hedges, ropresont
Ing Attorney Slevers. Under the heavy
cross-fire Tyler finally told the Jury
that his mind was a complete blank
during the particular time when the
fraudulent conspiracy was supposed to
have taken place. The defense did not
get a chance to put In any evidence, as
Clrcutt JuJdgo Morrow made short
work of the case, following the non

and also Increasing the salary of the
school superintendent from $1400 to

BOSTON, Feb. 24. New England
acclaimed President Wilson in behalf
of the nation today upon his return
from Europe after an absence of more
than eighty days. The demonstration
in his honor and tribute to the Ideal
which b established In Europe began
before the gray mists had lifted from
the harbor and increased in volume
and Intensity, as he was welcomed
to the heart of the city by the great
est throng ever assembled here.
From the transport George Wash
ington, on which he returned from his
history-making pilgrimage, to Cope'.ey
square, the president moved triumpn
antly through anes of cheering hu
manity. There was only one jarring note
that tended to mar the eventful occa
sion. It was the arrest of 25 suffrag
ists who lined up with banners before
the official reviewing stand In front
of the statehouse and who refused to
move when directed to do so by the
police. The incident happened just
before the president set foot on Com
monwealth pier, where he first landed
again on American soil,
j The reviewing stand was filled with
wounded soldiers, sailors and marines
who had shed their blood for freedom
on the battlefields of Europe. Govern
ors of several Eastern states also were
seated there.

CLACKAMAS MAN
RECEIVES PRAISE
AT LEGISLATURE
SALEM, Feb. 20. (Special) While
Harvey Cross has been one of the
heroes of the hour among members of
the lower house for the memorable
speech which he made in connection
with the dividing of Clackamas coun-
ty. Representative Dedman hasn't
been saying a word, but has been
waited upon by two or three little cot
eries of road bond boosters and given
assurance that by sitting tight and
voting right he played a big hand in
preserving Clackamas county intact
within its present boundary lines.
Representative Dedman was the
only member of the Clackamas dele
gation that voted In favor of the road
bond bill. Mr. Cross was opposed to
it on account of the emergency clause.
Schuebel was opposed to it for several
reasons.
Inasmuch as the big stench which
was stirred up by Schuebel was made
when he prodded up the road bonds
bill, the great majority who went with
the bill was stirred to the depths by
Schuebel's allegations which In a
way might have been construed to
cover most anyone who voted for the
measure. '
Consequently when Dedman didn't
say a word but went to the bat and
voted for the road bonds he engen
dered a kindly feeling in the hearts
of the bond boosters which stood old
Clackamas county In good stead when
the final vote was taken on the Mc-
Farland bill which had for its purpose
the slicing up of the county.
A number of the members declare
openly that they Btood by Clackamas
county and went to Its rescue when
the final vote was taken because Rep
resentative Dedman had the courage
to stand out and vote for tbe road
bond Issue when his delegation was
going In the other direction.
Representative Hurd of Clatsop
county, who by the way, Is a newspa
perman, was particularly appreciative
of the stand taken by Dr. Dedman.
"Dr. Dedman isn't addicted to ora
tions In particular," stated Mr. Hurd
today, "but he certainly stood pat on
the road bond issue when his col
leagues were against him and 1 know
of a number of members of the house,
who on final deliberations on the Mo
Farland bill, voted against It as a tri
bute to the courage of the Clackamas
representative who had tbe nerve to
vote for the bond bill."
