Decision of Chief Justice to
Stand; Couple Are
Still Married
SALEM, Or., Sept. 20. The Oregon
supreme court, in an opinion by Chiei
Justice Burnett, today" denied a re
hearing of the divorce action brought
by Mrs. Marjorie Ilawley against her
husband Willard Hawley Jr.
The case originally was tried i n
the circuit court of Clackamas coun
ty, with the result that a divorce was
denied Mrs. Hawley and a decree was
awarded to the defendant. Tempor
ary custody of the child was awarded
to Mrs. Hawley.
Mrs. Hawley later appealed the
case to the supreme court. In an
opinion written by Justice Brown the
entire proceedings were dismissed on
the grounds that it would be against
public policy to award a divorce to
either of the parties to the action.
After the decision of the Supreme
court was given, and the Hawleys
were placed in the same legal rela
tionship as they were before the di
vorce suit was filed, the respondent
entered a request with the supreme
court to reconsider its verdict. It 5s
this petition which is denied in the
action taken Tuesday.
The action of the court in denying
the rehearing leaves the case where
it was with the entire proceedings
dismissed.

Evidence is Charged
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal . Sept. 20.
Disappearance of several witnesses,
one of them a woman, who were to
testify before the federal grand jury
tonight in an investigation that liquor
was served at the party in the Hotel
St. Francis where Miss Rappe is al
leged to have received her fatal in
juries, was announced today by Rob
ert H. McCormack, assistant United
States attorney jgeneral investigating
prohibition violations.

Cnarges tnat four persons, one o
them a prominent figure in the Ros-
coe Arbuckle case, have discussed the
likelihood of their benefitting finan
cially by means of tampering with
important prosecution witnesses were
made today by District Attorney Mat
thew Brady. Brady's statement fol
lowed adjournment early this morn
ing of the San Francisco county grand
jury. He declared that it nas been
disclosed that these three witnesses
had discussed the probability o f
"making money out of the Arbuckle
case by 'framing' Miss Joyce Clark to
impeach the testimony of Miss Zeh
Prevost, a most important prosecu
tion witness."
The report issued by Milton A. Miller, collector of
internal revenue, shows that Oregon in the year of
1919, 49,663 persons paid taxes upon an aggregate net
income of $166,240,606. Oregon's position in the or
der of magnitude as to all the states in the Union, in the
. per cent of population filing returns was I 7 th, and 28th
in the net income per return. '
One of the most interesting comparisons is that in
the nation at large 5.03 per cent of the people filed per
sonal income returns, while in Oregon 6.34 per cent
filed them. The total income tax in the state in 1919
was $8,232,437, while in 1 9 1 4 it amounted to $337,05 1 .
The largest number of personal returns were filed
in the $1 000 to $2000 class, totaling 19,8r5. The largest
net income in any one division, fell into the $2000 to
$3000 classification. In the $5000 income class, 1,604
returns were filed. In the $1 0,000 class 247 people paid
taxes.
The highest classification upon which taxes were
paid was on an income of between $500,000 and $750,
000. Two such returns were filed, the tax paid upon
them aggregating $835,229.
The average net income per return in Oregon is given
as $3347.37. In the United States, the average ran
$3724.05. A total of 33 Oregonians paid taxes on in
comes in excess of $100,000 per year. The state ranks
1 3 th in the income tax that was paid per capita.

Thought to Be Off .
McNeils Island
McNEIL'S ISLAND, Sept. IS. Roy
Gardner has. escaped from McNeils
Island and '.s now hundreds of miles
awav from the federal penitentiary.
This was the tacit admission made
today by Warden Maloney
Maloneys actual words were simply
that Gardner "might" have escaped,
but the warden has heretofore been
so confident in his declarations that
the desperado was still on the island
ihat prison guards interpreted hi
statement as meaning that he had
given up all hope of catching the es
caped train robber.
Action upon the two most vital pro
blems effecting the highway program
in Oregon City and Clackamas county
was taken by the city council at its
special session Saturday night.
rne council officially passed a mo
tion establishing the 5th street under
grade crossing route as the line - ad
vocated by the city for the south end
road improvement, and Mayor Shan
non empowered the street committee
to represtnt the city in the negotia
tions pending for the operation of a
ferry across the Willamette river dur
ing the time that the new bridge is be
ing erected.
H. S. Mount, chairman of the street
committee dreV the council's atten
tion to the South End road outlet, He
stated 'that the highway commission
seemed anxious to have the improve
ment made in order to complete the
entire road in this vicinity. The city,
he felt, should have some definitely es
tablished policy in this regard, so. that
any negotiations could be carried on
with a definite idea as to what the
future program would be.
Motion is Unanimous
His motion to establish the Fifth
street undergrade crossing route,
which will carry the road on an evrm
grade np over the bluff, was unani
mously passed, and the recorder in
structed .to advise the highway com
mission of the action taken by the
city.
The motion which was passed, in
placing on record the sentiment of
the council, settles the controversy as
to the route for the South End road,
when the improvement is ultimately
made. The 5th street route was rec-
lommended by Resident Highway En
gineer F. T. Young, after a survey cf
three other ways of making the im
provement.
In appointing the street committee
to represtn the city on the matter
of a ferry. Mayor James Shannon
stated that inasmuch as negotiations
on the- part of the West Linn and
Chamber of Commerce committee
were held up, pending the appointment
of representatves from the city, the
matter should be placed in someone's
CHICKEN HOUSE BURNED
A chicken house belonging to Harry
Bond at Meldrum burned to the
ground Saturday, with the loss of
several fowls, a tfn of grain, and a
quantity of hay. A small tool house
and its contents, adjoining the chicken
house, was also burned. How th fire
started has not been determined.
Counterfeit one-dollar pieces, bj-
ieved to have been passed by some
of the concessionists at the Clacka
mas County fair, are in circulation.
The appearance of the counterfeit
money early Saturday morning, caused
an immediate investigation by Sheriff
Wilt on, and although no arrests had
been made by last night, a number of
the coins passed, were being traced
back to their starting point.
The coins which are being passed
are well made immitations of the sil
ver dollar, and they are dated 1873.
They are made of a composition, be
lieved to coDtain considerable peuter
tlloyed with the load. They are soft,
:md can be cut almost as readily as
lead. They are light, however, weigh
ing about half of what a genuine dol
lar weighs, and having very little
ring" when dropped upon Na solid
counter.
Sheriff Wilson has a number of
samples of the spurilous coins. Early
yesterday morning he conducted an
investigation at the fair grounds and
apprehended several people, through
whose hands the fake money had
passed. Their innocence of the affair
was establisnert, and runner eiiona
to trace the bogus money were made.
Although he feels certain that the
money was started in circulation on
the fair grounds at Canby, Sheriff Wil
son declines from airing his suspi
cions in the case. The authorities
are still investigating, and have warn
ed people to watch out for the lead
dollars.

Power company is preparing to sell
$10,000,000 in prior preference stock
for the purpose of making improve
ments which .include the construction
of a 75,00-horsepwerr hydro-electr.c
plant on the Clackamas river, 25
miles above Cazadero.
Before the stock can be sold, a re
organization of the corporation must
be made so as to bring the total
authorized capital stock of the com
pany to $42,500,000. Articles of in
corporation already have been . filed
?n Salem. A reduction of $5,000,000 is
to be made in the company's com

Road Being Constructed
A road is now being constructed
from Estacada to the proposed power
s5te. As soon as this road can be
completed, so that machinery and
supplies can be transported, hard
rock work will be started on the
first unit of the new plant
So far, all the work that has been
done on the road has been acocm
pushed by a crew or 50 men with a
pack train. Officials of the company
were unable to estimate the cost of
the new plant, but said at would in
volve millions.
Stock Is issued
"The issue of the new ttock is no.
made for the sole purpose of improve
ments, but to give the people of the
state of Oregon an opoprtunity t o
invest their savings in an Oregon
enterprise," declared Franklin T.
Griffith, president of the company,
yesterday. "The company now has
$22,C00,000 in stock issued and paid
up in full. The issuance of Ihis $10,
000,000 prior preference stock will
mean that this stock will be pre
ferred over all outstanding stock.
Dividends will be paid on the prio
preference stock first.
"Of course, the stock wfll not ail
be sold at once. We will market it
from time to time as we need money
or as our friends are filling to buy.
The money will all be used for the
betterment of our property.
Future Declared at Stake
"Our proposed plant on the Clack
amas river when completed will be
capable of generating 75,000 horse
power, or as much power as all our
combined plants now have. ' We are
preparing for the future, when there
will come a greatly increased demand
for hydro-electric power."
Mr. Griffith said that no extensions
in the street-car system were planned
1n the sale of the $10,000,000 block of
stock. Other than the proposed
power plant, he did not specify other
improvements.
Mr. Griffith estimated that it would
require three years to complete the
first unit of the proposed power
plant. The other units, he said would
be completed as the demands were
made for greater electrical power,

Reciprocation of effort and co-op
eration among the Various law en
forcement bodies of the state, county
and federal government are neces
sary to eliminate the wily still oper
ator and bootlegger, said Dr. Joseph
A. Llnville, recently appointed pro
hibition director for Oregon, at a con
ference with sheriffs of Clackamas,
Marion, Yamhill, Polk, Washington
and Tillamook counties at Salem
Monday. '
William J. Wnson, sheriff of Clack
amas attended the session, represent
ing this county.
No Promises Made
Dr Linville said it was not the
purpose or nis onice to itaEe ,any
drastic promises at present with re
lation to the enforcement of the pro
hibition statutes. He declared his
first move would be to confer with
the various law-enforcement agencies
and, if possible, build up a spirit of
co-operation that would prove a con
tinued menace to the wel-fore-law vio
lators. With this accomplished, Dr.
Linville said, the first real step to
ward ridding Oregon of the illicit
liquor fcraffic would have 'been 'taken.
Dr. Linville explained that his of
fice did not have a large amount of
money available for law enforcement
purposes and that nine field men
comprised his entire force at present.
Because of this, he said, it would be
necessary for his office to seek tn,J
assistance of all county, state and
municipal officers.
Reciprocation Urged
Reciprocation and co-operation
among these agencies, he said, would
result in buildine1 up a law enforce
ment machine in Oregon second to
none in the United States.
F. B. Mitchell, legal advisor for Dr.
Linville. said that, under the state
code, he believed automobiles could
be searched without a warrant when
the officers were convinced that they
were carrying liquor in violation of
the law.. When invading private
homes he advised the officers to carry
search warrants in compliance with
recent legal interpretations of- the
Volstead act. "
Sheriffs present at the conference
expressed a desire to co-cperate with
the state prohibition director and of
fered the machinery of their re
spective agencies to assist in bring
ing violators to justice.

Work Code Awaited
Chicago, Sept. 19. A strike of rail
road shopmen belonging to federated
shopcraft unions hinges today on the
promulgation of working rules being
considered by the United States rail
way labor board.
A strike has been authorized by the
membership of the shopmen's unions
against wage cuts .ordered by the

til the new code of working rules is
announced.
Declaring that the matter of secur
ing- an adequate route for the Pacific
highway through the southern portion
of Oregon city was the paramount Is
sue before the club. Dr. Hugh S.
Mount, president of the Oregon City
commercial club and chairman of the
street committee of the city council,
spoke before the Live Wires at their
first meeting of the season today.
"Oregon City has a pledge to keep
with the people of the state of Ore
gon." said Dr. Mount in urging im
mediate action on the matter. "When
we voted for the Pacific highway
through our town we obligated our
selves to provide a decent route. Now
the people of this state have spent
millions of dollars to get to our doors,
and cannot enter the city on a de
cent road."
Routes are Described
Dr. Mount tbld of the three avail
able routes; the basin, and Third and
Fifth street, pointing ou the relative
merits and costs of eachl That the
road should not be built as to con
flict withi the operations of the in
dustrial corporations was the sugges
tion of the speaker, who said "that
without its industrial payroll, Ore
gon City would be nothing more than
a county seat." He recommended the
endorsement of the Live Wires to a
tax of 5 mills, to run for from 3 to 5
years as necessary to pay for the
construction of the road.
Other discussion at- the meeting
concerning! the highway outlet touch
ed -on th& need of more streets to
handle the traffic on, with L. A. Hen
derson urging that the opening of
Railroad avenue be linked with the
proposed route of the highway, which
has been endorsed for Fifth street
by the city council. L. O. Harding
suggested that the highway projeet
should be handled individually, and
not considered with the street open
ing plan.
Ferry is Talked
The need of maintaining a ferry
across the river here while the new
bridge is being constructed was point
ed out by Main Trunk Brodie, but na
action was taken. The report of the
committee on improved depot facili
ties was read by Wallace" Caufield,.
chairman, and showed that an order
from, the public service commission
had been secured, ordering the S- P.
company to make a number of need
ed improvements. The auto pam
committee, by Ralph Parker, report
ed that a profitable and successful
season had been enjoyed, with many
visitors to the groundsi He said that
the committee had not yet decided
how late in the season to keep the
park open.
The meeting, which was the first
since the summer vacation, was well
attended. Main Trunk Brodie an
nounced that the next meeting would
see the quarterly election of officers.
Robbery Attempted;
Light Scares Bandit
A second attempt to enter the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Anton iNaterlin at
Fourteenth and Madison streets of
this city was made Monday morning.
The would-be burglar called at 3
o'clock, and attempted to, gain en
trance through a side window.
In trying to remove the screen Mr.
and Mrs. Naterlin were awakened
from their slumber and turned on the
electric aight, thus frightemnte' the
bandit.
It isi believed by the family that
the party trying to enter the house
some time ago is the same as the
one on Monday morning. A well
made trap is now in readiness and
there is no doubt on his third visit
at the .Naterlin home there will be
things a doin."
Several weeks ago, while Mrs. Na
terlin was home alone, she placed a
wash pan filled with tin cans behind
the basement door, as an improvised
burglar alarm. A man attempted to
gain entrance, and pushed over the
home made signal, the noise awaken
ing the family and neighbors and
scaring off the intruder.
