CAR PLUNGES IN
RIVER; ANDERSON
NEARLY DROWNS
Dr. G. A. Anderson, local business
man, narrowly escaped drowning on
Wednesday evening when the auto
mobile he was driving crashed over a
a 35 foot bank of the Clackamas river
and plunged into ten feet of water,
Mr Anderson was able to swim- to
the shere after the plunge and receiv
. ed only a few bruises and scratches
from the accident.
Dr. Anderson was driving towards
his borne at Gladstone about 7:30 p.
m. and as he neared the Tuft's place
by the big maple tree on the highway,
familiar to motorists, his machine
skidded. Anderson quickly made an
effort to right the machine but ow
ing to a defective steering gear, the
car could not be straightened out and
headed for the bank of the Clackanfes
river. The machine went over the
35 foot embankment and turned twice
over before reaching the river, where
it subnlerged in ten feet of water.
Anderson went down with the car
and after extracting himself from the
steering wheel swam to shore. Sever
al motorists in the vicinity, who wit
nesed the accident, rushed to his as
sistance and met him as he arrived
at the bank.
The automobile was recovered from
the river Thursday morning and out
side of partially wrecking the hood
and a few other details of the mech
anism, the car was not damaged to
any great extent. It is now in oper
ation. In telling of the accident "yesterday
afternoon, Dr. Anderson was inclined
to view the near tragedy in a humor
ous light and made the remark that it
was "his baptism." He alleges, how
ever, that if he had not stayed with
the car and jumped, he would have
been killed or stunned so that he
would have drowned when he hit the
river.
"STORY OF OPAL"
LIVE TOPIC AT
WOMAN'S CLUB
"The, Story of Opal," proved one of
the livest topics that ever came be
fore the Oregon City "Woman's club.
Mrs. H. W. Paine reviewed the book
itself followed by Mrs. John S. Sils
by, who knew Opal as a girl at Cot
tage Grove. Other speakers were
Mrs. D. C. Latourette and Mrs. C. H.
Dye, all of whom agreed that Opal is
a girl of marvelous imagination, who
ever her parents may have been. Some
items not hitherto published were
brought out, that photographs purport
ing to be those of her father and
and grandfather were received by El
bert Bede and seem to indicate that
some day the mystery of her origin
may be solved. Her trip to Boston
was financed by a daughter of the late
Professor Condon, Oregon's most not
ed scientist, and in Boston she was
taken into the home of the editor of
the Atlantic Monthly who brought out
her famous book. This last summer
Opal was taken to the White Moun"
tains by one of the most noted fam
ilies of Boston, "With Fairy shoes
her feet are shod."
A delightful talk on "Oregon's Wild
Flowers," was given by Mrs. Jean
ette Scott, and a review of Upton Sin
clair's book, "King Coal," was given
by Miss Gertrude Humphrey, both ot
which were a distinct credit to the
high standard of the Woman's club.
AH agreed to attend the lecture to
be given here May 14, by Oregon's
most famous son, Edwin Markham. It
was explained the poet knows noth
ing about the arrangements here fur
ther than that he has been invited to
Oregon and that expenses from New
York and back have been guaran
teed. He is in the hands of his
friends. He :s an elderly man and
is not wealthy or he would have come
here long ago. Oregon City will show
every honor and attention to the au
thor of "The Man With the Hoe."
who was born here on her river shore
nearly seventy years agio.
NOT GUILTY
JURY'S VERDICT
IN FISH CASE
George McKinnis and Carl Lind
gren, arrested by fish wardens and
accused of fishing for salmon on the
Willamette river here one hour and
ten minutes before sunrise, were
found not guilty in the justice court
yesterday afternoon, after Judge
Noble instructed the jury to bring in
the verdict owing to lack of evidence
against the two men.
Quite a crowd of local fishermen
and others were attracted to the trial
and the jury returned the verdic
without leaving 'the jury box. Chas.
Seivers, of the law firm of Brown
ell & Seivers, handled the defense of
the accused men.
ELKS ANNUAL
SALMON FEED
HUGE SUCCESS
The Oregon City Elks held their
1921 salmon barbecue in the local
temple last night -with" about two
hundred "Bills" gathered around the
festive board. The banquet ; was
timed for 6:30 o'clock, but owing to
the heavy attendance the affair did
not convene until close to 7:00 and
the long tables loaded down with
the famous Willamette river Chin
ooks brought the sparkle to the eyes
of the hungry Elks assembled.
The affair not only brought out the
local "Bills" in full force, but several
distinguished Elks from afar were
present, including Captain Charles
Barclay, recently of the Philippine Is
lands and captain of a large inter
island transport, and . Brother John
Brownlee, of Saginaw, Mich., recently
returned from South America and
other European travels. ,
Henry Henningsen, exalted ruler.,
presided at the tables and toasts
were responded to by Judge Ryan, E.
J. Noble, O. D. Eby, Phillip Hammond,
Ex-Exalted Ruler Don James, Capt
Barclay, of Manila, Dr. Clyde Mount
and Grant B. Dimick. After the ban
quet the brothers assembled in the
lodge rooms and after the regular cer
emonies of the lodge, were dispens
ed with, the "pep" committee put on
a program of entertainment that was
a "knock-out" from every angle.
PUPILS OF CITY
SCHOOLS MUST
BE VACCINATED
"Under explicit orders from the of
fice of the city health officer, the pu
pils of the city schools will have to
undergo vaccination or be barred from
attendance at school, unless they
have been vaccinated within the last
seven years. Two cases of small
pox have appeared in the school, one
a girl -in the sixth grade at the Bar
clay building, and the other a boy in
Ihe first grade of the Eastham. Af
ter receiving the instructions from
the health department Friday after
noon, the school board heid a special
neeting and adopted the following
resolution:
"The city superintendent is instruct
ed to announce on Monday morning,
May 2, that inasmuch as there is rea
son to fear an epidemic of smallpox,
that those who hare not been vac
cinated within seven years, shall be
vaccinated before returning to school,
and inasmuch as the law plainly states
that city health boards and county
health boards shall provide free vac
cination for persons desiring it, it is
plainly mandatory upon them, and
those who present themselves to
these officials willing to be vaccinat
ed have complied with the provisions
of the law."
ROBBERS GET
CHILDS BANK,
SUIT CLOTHES
During the absence of Mrs. Robert
Goodfellow and Dr. L. A. Morris and
his family, their home was entered
Thursday evening, and the best suit
of clothes of Dr. Morris and a bank
owned by his little eight-year-old son,
Bobby, containing $5, was stolen.
The robbers entered the Morris
home by way of a rear window be
tween 6:30 and 9 o'clock and every
room was entered and ransacked. Bu
reau drawers showed that the robbers
were after money, for a small purse
owned by Mrs. Goodfellow wos taken
from a drawer and after being search
ed, was thrown onto the floor. Even
the attic was visited by the thieves,
where the old family oat had taken
refuge in her fright, as she was left
in Ihe kitchen by the family when
leaving for Portland.
Burned mlatches in large quanti
ses were found scattered over the
floors of the rooms on the first and
second floors of the attic and the
family are congratulating themselves
that their home was not burned by the
mulches thrown on the f'oor.
Friday morning, Dr. Morris was
summoned to the telephone by a res
ident of Fourteenth street, saying he
has found a check book bearing his
name. This was in the suit of cloth
es that was stolen, with other papers,
and it is probable that the robbers
had thrown the book away after
reaching that section. Search was
made for other papers, but so far
they have not been found.
And Queerest of All
'
Was a Winsome Lass
Disguised As a Man
Dressed in overalls, heavy shoes,
man's coat and with a cap" pulled
down oyer her eyes, a woman who
gave her name as Gloria Darning was
picked up on Main street here Friday
morning about 1:45 by Special Of
ficer Mass and turned over to the
night police for safe-keeping. The
girl was pretty, and witn a voice as
femininish as could possibly be, said
she was a inau. When closely ques
tioned, she later acknowledged that
she was a woman, and alleged that she
ci,Tne here from Portland and was on
her way "south." In the city jail
rooms she talked freely to the offic
ers and said that she was 20 years of
age, and had been married twice and
divorced that many times in her
"young life. She further contended
th.vi one of her husbands died - and
the other got a divorce. Following
several questions put to her, she con
tradicted herself upon the latter state
ments quite frequently, and when ask
ed if she was served with a divorce
summons at the time of her divorce
from the last husband, she replied
that she had not that her mother-in-law,
in Ogden, Utah, had told her that
she was legally separated from her
husband.
The young woman claimed that she
has been on the road for three years
and has been in the cities of Ogden,
Utah; Kansas City, Mo.; Edmonton,
Canada, Portland and other Wash
ington towns.
The girl was very pretty, but in her
disguise and when picked up almost
frozen and hungry, presented a sor
ry sight. The overalls fit her in
places and the large man's coat that
she wore prevented her form from
showing the girlish lines that urr
doubtedly she possessed. Her
hair was bobbed short a haircut she
claimed she received at the hands of
a barber at Huntington, Ore., four
days ago. She told the barber that
she was tired of long hair and wanted
it cut like a man's.
"I've always wanted to be a man."
she exclaimed to the officers, "and
the only way for me to loe one is to
don men's clothing and act like one."
When accosted by Officer Mass last
night the officer said to her: "Hello,
headed south?"
"Yes, sir," she came back at him in
a weak imitation - of a man's bass
voice.
"Well, well," said the officer, "ycu
must be a woman."
"I'm not," the girl replied, "I'm a
man," and as she stood there in the
street shivering from the cold, the
evidence was all against her and she
was placed out of harm's way close
to the fire in the city jail until Night
Officers Wagonblast and Johnson
could get over the shock and arrange
matters for her comfort.
About S:00 o'clock Friday morning
she was given a good breakfast and
released by Chief of Police Hadley,
and the last the chief sa-v of her she
was hiking it down the railroad tracks
towards Canby.
THE MIRACLE.
I vowed I'd never, never learn
To cook or brew or bake; '
I'd shun the mysteries of pie,
The secrecies of cake.
'Twould be a bore to wash an shine
And range the willow ware;
Though pots and pans were spotless
who
Would notice, who would care?
My life was planned on lofty lines.
And housework was taboo
And then, behold! a miracle
Was wrought by Love and You.

GERMANS LIKE
YANKS; FEAR
THE FRENCH
COBLENZ, May 3. The Germans
of Coblenz have been speculating with
deep interest on the possible effect of
the the Knox resolution in congress
declaring that a state of war no
Iqnger exists between America and
Germany.
Whether the adoption of that reso
lution will cause the withdrawl of
the American foces in Germany has
been the main subject of discussion
in the German press of the occupied
territories.
The correspondent, after interview
ing the most represntative Germans
of all classes In Coblenz, can say that
to the majority of Germans here the
withdrawl of the Americans would
be regarded as- regrettable.
In administrative and poltical cir
cles they have been living in dire fear
of the French taking over the area
which would be abandoned by the
Americans. "If we must have occupa
tion, let it be American," is the con
sensus of opinion.
Among tradesmen and shopkeepre
the feeling of regret would be unani
mous. 'The tailor next door has be
come a millionaire," said the book
store proprietor with migled feeling or
admiration and envy, to the corres
pondent. "That book store man is
eui i cajpiug a isu'd u it- I. in-- ,
was the way the tailor put it.
There is only one class of the popu
lation which looks upon the presence
of American soldiers darkly. They are
the young men who did not partici
pate in the late war. Between them
and the average doughboy there is no
love lost and no fraternization. From
time to time there are even a few
clashes. The doughboy ha? it that the
young German is jealous of the form
er's popularity with the frauleins,
Others who look deeper say the larger
cause is that these young men rela
tively have not suffered from the war
and they are looking to the future in
a spirit of revenge.
Farmer at Yakima
Arrested for Murder
Committed in South
YAKIMA, Wash., May 3. After liv
ing a blameless life here for two
years, William Palmer, Tieton farmer,
was arrested Sunday just as he was
putting his .horses in the barn, and is
now in the county jail awaiting trans
portation to his former home in Gate
City, W. Va., to answer the charge of
murder of Obar Chapman there in
1915. Palmer has a wife and five chil
dren. 'He was traced through having,
about a year ago, signed a deed in con
veying' some Virginia property to one
of his relatives.
Palmer, a quiet appearing .man, who
has teen much respected by his neigh
bors here, concedes that he is ia "regu
lar wildcat," when aroused. Jailer
C. A. 'Davis said that Palmer ad
mited the killing to him, and began
talking about it before he had been
told what the officers, wanted him for.
Chapman, the prisoner said, was shot
while he was trying to attack him fol
lowing a poker game which resulted
in a fight over the proceeds. He will
waive extradition, putting up a plea
of self-defense.
Palmer left Soate City at once after
the shooting. After being in the north
west for a couple of years he was
joined by his family. HIc wife is
sticking by him, and ,as the prisoner
said, "Oh, my wife and me is pa-Is. She
wouldn't leave' me nohow."
Palmer anticipated that his father,
who he said is comparatively wealthy,
also will come to his aid. The arrest
was made by Sheriff Bear and his
deputy, Archie Goins, who have been
working on the case for some time.

Linn County
Grange Resolves
To Recall Court
ALBANY, Or., May 3. A resolution
favoring the recall of the members of
the Linn county court was adopted by
the Linn county Pomona grange at its
session Saturday at' the Fairmount
grange hall in North Albany. The
matter came before the Pomona
grange, which is composed of members
of the various granges of the country,
upon a resolution adopted a few days
ago by the Grand Prairie grange,
which is composed of farmers residing
east of this city.
Reports of the discussion of the
resolution at Saturday's meeting in
dicated that the mebers of the grange
favored the recall of the members of
the court because of the present con
dition of Linn county finances. It was
discovered recently that the court in
its expenditures had exceeded the
amount limited by law, and that be
cause the court had issued warrants
in excess of its resources and the
limited 6 per cent increase, and had
thus incurred more indebtedness than
the law permits, that several thous
and dollars, worth of warrants now
oustanding are void.
Complaint was made against some
members of the court because they
adopted a policy of road work which
resulted in tearing up a great many
roads preparatory to permanent im
provement, and leaving them in that
condition; in other words, that the
court undertook far more road work
than it could finish and hence that
many roads have been left in a toro
up condition or else graded and not
graveled which makes them impas
sible in winter.
There have been rumors of recall
talk for the past two or three weeks
here, but this is the first time, it has
reached any concrete form.
NEW YORK, May 3. Because of
urgent personal business Captain
John F. Lucey, national director of
the financial campaign of the Ameri
can commettee for relief in Ireland
withdrew yesterday from active par
ticipation in the effort and resigned
as director.
"Business obligations make it ab
solutely necessary for me to be in
Canada and Mexico during the next
several weeks," said Captain Lucey.
"and I want to leave the committee
free to have a man at tbe head of
the work who can be on the job every
day.
"I have been much impressed with
the evident desire of this committee
to conduct its money " raising with
out political propaganda and along
the most dignified lines. If I were
in position to continue my share of
resinsibiity for its ' program, 1
would do f-o."
THREE ROUTES
PROPOSED FOR
SOUTH OUTLET
rangements involving the construction
of a new bridge across the Willamette
river connecting Oregon City with
West Linn, the problem of the south
end road outlet from Oregon City con
necting with the Pacific Highway at
Canemah is facing the city council
and the county court, and the selec
tion of a definite route is the next
step. The present road runs out
of Main street at the basin on a water
grade, with a dangerous crossing at
grade over the Southern Pacific tracks
at Canemah, and a new project on
this outlet would cost $178,192, ac
cording to estimates of 'the engineers
of the state highway commission. Of
this amount $64,878 is in the city lim
its, including a single item of $48,000
for concrete and wet excavation. The
county's share of this route is placed
at $113,314, incluuding $82,500 for an
overhead railway crossing at Canem
ah. Forty per cent of this charge,
however, or $33,000, would be borne
by the Southern Pacific, leaving a net
charge to the county of $80,314.
The water route along the present
highway would be the most costly of
the three proposed, the lowest esim-'
ate being for the Third street under
grade crossing. The total for this
route is $96,148, with $45,751 as the
city's portion, and the remaining $50,
397 being assessed to the county. This
provides for a six per cent grade,
however, and the estimate indicates
that a saving of approximately $20,800
may be made by increasing 750 feet
of the grade to seven per cent The
eslmate contemplates using the pres
ent undercrossing at Third street. Ob
jections to this route would be sure
totcome from the corporate interests
in the south end of the city and from
the Public Service Commission, and
the industrial concerns would be
strongly in far of the proposed.
Fifth street route, and it is understood
they would contribute toward the
cost. The total estimated cost of the
route with an undercrossing at Fifth
street is $162,176, the county's share
being $50,397, and the cost to the city
$111,779, allowing $40,000 for the new
crossing.
Wallace B. Caufield, representing
the Live Wires of the Commercial
club ; City Attorney Eby and Resident
Engineer Young, of the state highway
commission, had a conference recent
ly with Franklin T. Griffith, president
of the Portland Railway Light & Pow
er Co., relative to the outlet, and it is
expected an early decision will be
reached.
Detailed estimates for the three
routes follow:

KEEP THE DAIRY COWS
Prospects are bright for the man
who holds on to his milk cows. Price?
are good and promise to remain good.
A large number of beef cattle men
lost , money on their beef last year
which is indeed unfortunate because
the encouragement of beef production
is highly important.
The public is depending more and
more on the use of dairy products. For
this reason the market is continual
ly increasing. Of course, the busin
ess requires close application and
rather long hours, but the year around
income, which is steady and assured,
compensates for the extra labor. And,
anyhow, no successful business can
be conducted without earnest work.
The cow is one of the reliable tri
umvirate the cow, the sow and the
hen. Don't neglect .them. Farm

COOLIDGE WILL
VISIT PORTLAND
DURING .TUNE
WASHINGTON, D. C, May ?..
Vice-President Coolidge said Tuesday
afternoon that he was planning a trip
to Portland, Ore., in June, but expres
sed regret that the news of his pro
posed trip had leaked out after Tues
day's cabinet meeting.
"I had, intended to say nothing
about my plans for the present,' said
the vice-president, "because any an
nouncement of my plans to Igo west
means that I will be swamped at
once with -unnecessary correspond
ence. It is not my intention to make
a general western trip, hut to go
straight to Portland and return, after
a short visit by the most direct route.
