WOMAN MAYOR IS MARSHAL Miss Munson Now Is Warrenton's Only Arresting Officer, Too. WARRENTON, Or- Feb. 3. (Special.) Miss Clara C. Munson. Warrenton's woman Mayor, Is tonight also city constable, city marshal and the only arresting officer of the community. These additional and almost embar rassing duties are the result of com plex conditions, chief of which Is the failure of the Mayor to appoint and have confirmed, a constable or city marshal. The precinct constable failed to qualify last November after election, and recently the city marshal has moved out of the town's corporate limits and is thereby disqualified. At the Council meeting tonight, Mrs. Munson offered no temporary or per manent appointment. The Mayor now proposes to -ask Sheriff Burns to name a deputy for the Warrentown district exclusively, and thereby save the city paying a monthly salary for city marshal. Warrenton is also without a city at- atorney Bince the resignation of At torney Norblad, who resigned at the close ot the year. Mayor Munson has so far not appointed his successor. Some see In the Mayor's action a move to reduce the expenses of oper ating the city government. WOMEN ARE NOT IN FAVOR As 'Wireless Operators at Sea, Mep Are Given Preference. Evidently women wireless operators are to be retired from active service aboard vessels at sea. Miss Coombs, who has held the berth of "sparks." aboard the North Pacific liner Ro anoke for several months, is ashore and her place has been taken by Otto Thles, who has been on different coast ers. One reason assigned for men oe'ng preferred as wireless operators is that they are less given to nervousness In time of stress, and in ease of serious trouble might prove more dependable. Under the present system there are two operators on passenger vessels, so so that there Is always one on duty. and In an emergency If one is inca pacitated the other is available, but there Is a disposition among some knights of the key to object to having a woman as assistant.

Recall of Judges as a part of the di rect legislation system of Washington was rejected twice today by the House of Representatives, one by five votes and again by 12 votes.

Direct taxes upon the incomes of citizens of the United States, whether derived from Idle capital or from the conduct of busi ness, were made possible by the rati fication of the sixteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution. Delaware, Wyoming and New Mexico, Indorsing the income tax amendment through their respective Legislatures, completed a list of 38 states that have approved It, two more than the three-fourths nec essary for Its final adoption. Leaders in Congress predicted tonight that through this authorization the law which will be passed to levy the tax upon American Incomes will be intro duced as soon as the extra session opens. Its exact terms have not been decided upon, but It Is believed It will exempt all Incomes below 34000, or J5000, and will provide a tax of one per cent upon the majority of personal Incomes that do not run to an excessive figure. Hull May Draft Bill. Informal notice of the final adoption of the new amendment was given to the Senate by Senator Brown, of Ne braska, who introduced the discussion in 1909 upon which the proposal of an income tax was submitted to the states. The drafting of the bill to put the tax Into effect, it Is expected, will fall to the lot of Representative Cordell Hull, of Tennessee, a member of the public ways and means committee, who drew the excise tax bill proposed last year by the Democratic House of Represen tatives, but which did not become a law. ' The income tax will be designed to supplant the present corporation tax and will apply to the incomes of In dividuals, firms and corporations.

The rope pulling contest was held over a pond 20 feet wide, and in places five feet deep. Both teams agreed to hold fast to the rope jio matter how far each athlete was submerged.

With a total of 6501 depositors at the close of business January 31, the Portland postal savings depository continued to show an Increase of busi ness. During the month on no day did the withdrawals equal the deposits. During the month the net increase of deposits over the withdrawals amounted to S14.241, the new deposits having been 393,458 and the withdraw als 379-217. This depository now has on deposit $696,265. which Is protected by bonds approved by the Postofflce Department. George C. Carr, clerk in charge of the depository, makes it a point to learn why it is utilized and later why the accounts are withdrawn. He says that at first nearly all of the deposits were made for the accumulation of a certain amount for a definite purpose, but during the past few months mcftiy have been withdrawn to purchase land or invest in small business, few of these ever before having been able to save enough to give thought to such Invest ments.

NEW ATTEMPT TO JAIL EDITOR FAILS Nelson's Case Sent to Supreme Court. LONG DELAY NOW PROBABLE Sheriff Blocks Effort to lm prison Kansas Colonel. MOTION IS REPUDIATED Officer Denies Filing Request to Quash Writ of Habeas Corpus and Appellate Court Sends , Cause to High Tribunal. i KANSAS CITV, Feb. 5. Another at tempt to place William R. Nelson, editor and owner of the Kansas City Star, in jail for contempt of court was blocked today when Sheriff Wlnstanley repudiated In the Kansas City Court of Appeals a motion filed In his name by friends of the court of Circuit Judge Guthrie, who sentenced Nelson to one day in Jail for contempt, asking that a writ of habeas corpus upon which Mr. Nelson was released Saturday be Quashed. The Appellate Court then certified the case to the State Supreme Court, where months may pass before the case is heard in the regular ordrr of the docket. Dismissal la Moved. As soon as the hearing on the motion to quash the writ of habeas corpus and return the editor to the custody of the Sheriff began, Charles Shannon, at torney for the Sheriff, asked that the motion be dismissed, saying that the motion was not tiled by Sheriff Wln stanley nor by bis authority and that the Sheriff, therefore, repudiated his signature and asked that the motion be disregarded. Attorney Dean, one of the. friends of the court, whose names were affixed to the motion to quash, told the court that the motion had been shown to Sheriff Wlnstanley, Into whose custody Mr. Nelson went after convlotion by Judge Guthrie, as a matter of courtesy. He said they were not trying to use the Sheriff's name, but sought to affix it courteously. Dean's Argument Stopped. He said that the Sheriff refused to sign the motion until advised to do so by his attorney, but later, when Judge Guthrie had Informed! them by tele phone that the Sheriff had approved the action, his name was placed on the mo tion. "Something seems curious," said Mr. Dean. "We all know Judge Guthrie did not tell us a falsehood." Mr. Dean attempted to argue the mo tion to quash the habeas corpus writ, but was stopped by the order of the court certifying the case to the Su preme Court and holding that the bond given by Mr. Nelson was sufficient to secure his appearance before the Supreme Court. The status of Mr. Nel son, who Is at liberty on ball, there fore will not be changed. Judge Kxplaia Action. "Personally, It does not make a par ticle of difference to me what becomes of this matter," Judge Guthrie said, lu a conference with attorneys prior to today's hearing. "I did my duty as I saw it In the matter under my oath of office. The responsibility In the future rests with other officials, and not with me; I am done." There was talk among attorneys and officials In the courthouse today that Judge Guthrie would issue a citation for contempt against Judge Ralph Slatshaw, of the Criminal Court, who criticised on Saturday the Circuit Judge's action in sentencing Mr. Nel son. "I probably could be cited for con tempt," Judge Slatshaw said, "but I am ready for the summons should it come." Walik Goes to Capital. Frank T. Walsh, attorney for Mr. Nelson, left here tonight for Jefferson City, where tomorrow he will apply to the State Supreme Court for a writ of habeas corpus for the editor. He said the court sitting en banc would entertain the application at that time. ..The filing of the application, be said, is a formal proceeding necessary to get the case before the Supreme Court In obedience to the order of the Circuit Court of Appeals In certifying It to the higher tribunal.
