the jail, where he was searched by the
officer. Bennett claimed that there
was no cause for the arrest other
than that the police were attempting
to harass him. and on May 10 filea
an actipn in the circuit court asking
for damages.
The dismissal of the case was tak
en by the plaintiff, following the sign
ed statement of Officer Titus admit
ting error in the affair. The state
ment reads:
Statement Is Made
"On the 29th day of April, 1922, my
attention was called to a noise in
Bennett's barber shop and shortly
after Mr. Bennett and another person
came out of the barber shop. I first
thought from Mr. Bennett's ' actions
that he was under the influence of
liquor, but he was not and had a per
fect right to be at his place. Under
the circumstances I acted hastily and
was mistaken in making the arrest. I
make thi3 statement to correct any
impression that might be injurious to,
Mr. Bennett."

RIVER IS DRAGCED
FOR BODY OF BOY;
NO TRACE FOUND
W. HCollier Believed to Have
Been Drowned; Search By
Sheriff Gives No Light On
Case; Cause Is Mystery.
ROOMMATE REPORTS
ODD DISAPPEARANCE
Despondency Scouted By All
Officials; Old Clothes Are
Missing; Money Untouched
After dragging the river for several
hours with nets and hooks, Sheriff; W.
J. Wilson reported Tuesday that no
trace of the body of W. H. Collier, be
lieved to have been drowned in the
Willamette river, had been found.
Collier, 23, and an ex-member of the
U. S. Marine corps, disappeared some
time Monday "evening. He is believed
by the sheriff to have fallen into the
river from the houseboat near Busch's
dock where he and his roommate,
Frank Cottrell, had lived : since the
first of the month.
Companion Misses Boy
Cottrell, upon returning from work
in the evening, found that Collier was
missing. He had left the boy, who is
in the employ of the Crowjn-Willam-ette
plant, in bed, and he was - not
there upon his return.
clothes, his watch, money and person
al effects were intact. He had drawn
no pay for his past week's work at the
nanftf mill MMiI (ha rTl 1 V thinra Tnieeini,
from the boat were an old pair of ov
eralls and a glove. Collier had start
ed to paint the inside of the boathouse,
and the job was about half completed.
Old Clothes Were Worn -The
paint and brush were found.
According to Cottrell, Collier never
jcil nit? yiauc wiLuuut uoiiig wen uress-
ed, and would not even have gone over
to the mill in the old clothes he had
been wearing. -
The officer holds the theory that the
boy must have fallen into the river
and been drowned. His roommate is
not sure that he could swim, but had
heard him make several references to
being in bathing, at times before, but
he made the remark that he never
stayed in long because the water was
always too cold.
Despondency Is Scouted
There was no reason for the boy to
have been despondent, his roommate
says, and he had been in the best of
spirits. He was seen, by a grocery
man, from whom he purchased edi
bles, about ten o'clock that morning.
He evidently returned home and pre
pared his breakfast, as the dishes
were found.
Collier has no relatives here, but
his parents live at 1418 Spruce Street,
Minneapolis. They have not been not
ified of the boy's disappearance, as the
hope is held that he might be located,
but if no headway is made with the in
vestigation, word will be sent to them
todav.
WEST UNPEOPLE ARE
BACK FROM LONG TRIP
P. J. Wiinkel and daughter and son,
Miss Clara and Harold, returned to
their home at West Linn on Saturday
evening after a month's motoring trip
to California that extended into Mexi
co, covering 2800 miles.
Resorts Are Visited
Leaving here they made the trip
south by way of the coast route and
returned by the valley, preferring the
former, . for the weather was much
more favorable.
Various parts of California were
visited, among these the principal
coast -resort, and finding these well
patronized. They camped much of
the time at the California automobile
parks, where every convenience for
the comfort of the tourists was at
hand. One day was spent in Mexico,
and the party was satisfied to leave
when the time arrived, for the wea
ther was unusually warm on the day
they arrived there.
Farmer Is Host
At Santa Ana, Calif., they 'were
guests for several days at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Solomon, former resi
dents of Oregon City, who are now
specializing on oranges and walnuts.
Their place is located in the heart of
the city, and considered one of the fin
est little places -in that city. Five ac
res are planted to oranges and wal
nuts, and large crops of fruit result
each season. Last fall Mr. Solomon
harvested from 49 walnut trees 20 tons
of nuts, and the orange trees are now
laden with delicious fruit. Owing to
a late frost many of the oranges were
frost bitten, and these, are detected at
the large packing plant, where the
Winkel family visited, when tons were
thrown to one side, unfit for packing.
Hundreds of motorists were met,
who were making their way to Ore
gon, many of whom were from Eastern
points, and were delighted with the
Western coast.
BY HEAVY SENATE VOTE
WASHINGTON, June 20. The bon
us bloc in the senate was crushed to
day when it challenged the action of
the Republican majority in delaying
action on the soldier bonus.
By a vote of 51 to 22, a motion for
immediate consideration of the bonus
was "laid oh the table," which is
equivalent to defeat.
Home-brewers can be held for cre
