EUGENE, Or.. Oct. 13. (Special.)
Specific legislative reforms, with atten
tion especially directed toward the la
borer, to the dependent child and the
widowed mother were indorsed by the
Oregon Federation of Women in session
here today, following: the reading- of
the report of the legislative committee
by Mrs. Millie it. Trumbell, of Portland,
chairman.
Private employment agencies in Port
land control the industrial situation in
-Oregon so far as laborers are concerned,
the report said:
Employment Agencies Discussed.
"It has been demonstrated time and
again that men employed in different
parts of the state, say in Coos Bay,
must come back to Portland to get
another job and be shipped out again
by a private agency. Case after case
by a private agency.
"The employment agencies should be
controlled by state law, and the fees
should be made so low that a man need
not be a slave. Better, still, would be
a state system of labor exchanges at
all the industrial centers of the state.
These should be operated under the
civil service rules. -
"Next to the employment agency
evil comes the hospital fee graft. It is
strange that reputable firms will allow
the men to be bled as they are under
this iniquitous practice. A man was
this iniquitous practice.
Public Defender Suggested.
"Your committee also submits a
recommendation that the State Labor
Commissioner secure a public defender
for the protection of workmen In civil
cases, such as non-payment of wages.
'Leaving the grown-ups, we find
In the children's field two needs which
must be met. The first is that of
placing-out of dependent children in
homes. At present there is no stand
ard controlling the situation.
"The Juvenile Court law gives the
Juvenile Coirrt Judge power to revoke
a committment at his pleasure. This
authority should be revoked for the
loiiowing reasons: A child Is never
taken from his parents unless the
parents are found delinquent; the
child Is placed in ,a good home; he
learns to love his new parents and
tney love him, and provide tor him,
After a time the parents turn over a
new leaf, appeal to the Judge, who re
vokes the committment. The new ties
are broken. The whole tenor of his
lite is disturbed.
Mrs. Evans Outlines Work.
Many lines of activity for the women
of Oregon were outlined for the next
year tonight by Mrs. Sarah A. Evans,
president of the Oregon Federation of
Women's Clubs, in her annual address
before 300 women here assembled from
all parts of Oregon.
Her recommendations, as approved,
were:
"That we make the peace idea the
keynote of all our club activities dur
ing the year.
"That we discourage the ' manufac
ture of toy pistols and toys calculated
to inspire in children the war spirit
and that we pledge ourselves not to
buy them.
"That we consecrate ourselves to the
eugenic movement, but that we refuse
to have our babies exploited and pho
tographed for prizes and advertise
ments. "That we work for an Increased
number of normal schools.
"That we work, for equal representa
tion on all elective and appointive
state boards.
Pension Lair'a Effect Studied.
"That we thank the Governor for ap
pointing a woman to the University of
Oregon board of regents.
"That a thorough investigation of
the woman's pension law, with the re
sults of its two years' working experi
ence, be made in conjunction with the
Oregon Congress of Mothers.and that
our legislative committee be author
ized to make recommendations to the
Legislature.
"That we go on record as opposed to
the initiative measure known as the
dentistry bill.
"That we discourage and condemn
the entrance into our local election of
Eastern women, who boastfully an
nounce themselves as 'professional poli
ticians.' backed .by . organizations of
like character, led by a woman schooled
In the militant methods of England and
equipped from some source of unlim
ited capital. By resolution we declare
It an impertinence and a reflection upon
the intelligence of Oregon women.
"That the name of 'scholarship loan
fund day' be held sacred by the clubs
of the state, and that it be considered
a breach of good faith to raise money
jointly for other purposes.
"We condemn by resolution the
practice of soliciting- on the streets
for referendum names to petition, and
that the Legislative committee have a
bill to this effect presented to the
next Legislature."
She emphatically urged the driving
of the paid initiative petition circulator
, from the streets.
i
Multnomah Fair to Grow.
OKESHAM, Or, Oct. 13. (Special.)
A larger and better fair than ever be
fore, to be held 10 instead of five days,
was decided on tentatively by the di
rectors of the Multnomah County Fair
Association at the meeting- here yes
terday afternoon. Notwithstanding:
the difficulties encountered by rains
at the recent fair an optimistic spirit
prevailed, and it was the unanimous
sentiment that advance steps should be
taken towards enlarging and improv
ing the fair. No new buildings and new
improvements will be required next
year.
All bills were audited and ordered
paid. Premiums to the amount of $4500
were approved, and Secretary E. L.

, CHARLES COOPEY.
Decision of Lower Tribunal Upheld in
Suit for Part of 9500,000 Commis
sion Four Others Affirmed.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 13. (Special.) !
Holding that the plaintiff failed to
prove his contention, the Supreme Court
today In the case of Charles Coopey
against L. Y. Keady, A. F. Swensson
and the Pacific Realty Company, af
firmed the decree of the Multnomah
County Court in favor of the defend-1
ants. The plaintiff sued for one-third
of $430,000 of a $500,000 real estate com
mission.
In an opinion by Justice Moore the
court affirmed a decree of Judge Ben
son In the case of Marcus Rudolph
against the Portland Railway, Light
& Power Company. The plaintiff al-
eged that his daughter, Maxine. was
killed by a car belonging to the de
fendant. A verdict in favor of the de
fendant was awarded by a jury, but
Judge Benson set it aside and granted
a new trial, his action being sustained
oy the supreme Court.
The court affirmed the action of the
Multnomah Circuit Court in the case
of the state against T. J. Leonard, con
victed of obtaining signatures of M. J.
Denny and wife to a deed by false pre
tense. Other opinions today were:
M. W. Harrison against Pacific Rail
way & Navigation Company; appealed
from Tillamook County, involving title
to real property, affirmed.
Edward H. Smith against John W.
Hurley, appellant: appealed from Mult
nomah County, suit for damages, af-
nrmea.
John Nielson, appellant, against John
McNeil, appealed from Coos County,
action for damages for trespass, re
versed.
HOIXADAT SALE BASES SCIT
Coopey Case Follows Transfer or
851 Portland Lots.
The case of Charles Coopey against
L. Y. Keady and others grew- out of the
payment of commissions for the sale of
Holladay Addition, consisting of 851
lots, by the Oregon Realty Company to
the Anglo-Pacific Realty Company. The
property was owned by C. X. Larra
bee, now dead, and the commission for
its sale was fixed at $500,000. Of this
sum defendants in the present suit
were to get $430,000 and by a separate
contract, said to have been demanded
by Mr. Coopey, the plaintiff, he was to
have $70,000. It is understood that a
written release was given defendants
in the action by Mr. Coopey in con
sideration for this separate contract
Mr. Coopey was not paid his commis
sion and he then brought suit for one
third of the $430,000 commission of the
defendants.
Judge Davis held that Mr. Coopey
had no claim against them, as the sep
arate contract and the release freed
them from obligation. This view was
upheld by the Supreme Court.

END OF EMERGENCY
BOARD READ Ifl LAW
Secretary of State Olcott Says
Statute Sounds Knell of
Body November 4.
MIX-UP CONFRONTS OREGON
Time of Four Members Meld Expir
ing With Election Departments
Xeeding Money May Be in Pre
dicament Until Solons Meet.
8ALEM. Or, Oct. 13. (Special.)
According to a construction placed
upon the laws oy Secretary of State
Olcott today, the state virtually will
be without an Emergency Board after
the election, November 3, and depart
ments and institutions requiring more
money than the respective legislative
appropriations may find themselves in
serious predicament. It Is understood
that at least one important branch of
the state government now is- in need
of funds and is contemplating asking
the Board to create a deficiency.
If Mr. Olcott's construction of the
law is correct all departments, ex
cepting those having continuing ap
propriations, will be without funds
from January I until the Legislature,
which will convene January 11, makes
provision for them. There is a ques
tion as to whether the. Emergency
Board will be empowered to create
numerous deficiencies before Novem
ber 3 to provide funds for use after
January 1 for the departments and in
stitutions. Deficiency Prevention la Object,
The law creating the Emergency
Board was passed at the last session
of the Legislature and was designed
to prevent the heads of departments
and institutions from exceeding the
appropriations of the Legislature in
their expenditures. It provides that
the Board shall be composed of the
Governor, Secretary of State, State
Treasurer, President of the Senate,
Speaker of the House and chairman of
the ways and means committees of the
two branches of the Legislature. The
approval of five members is necessary
for the creation of a deficiency.
Air. Olcott, in announcing his con
struction of the law, called attention
to paragraph four, article four, of the
state constitution, which provides that
Senators and Representatives in the
Legislature begin their terms of office
tho next day after the general elec
tion at which they are elected. Ac
cording to that four members of the
Emergency Board the president of the
Senate, Speaker of the House and
chairman of the ways and means
committees of the House and Senate
now members of the Board, will cease
to be November 4. Even should some
of them M- holdover Senators, they
would not 'continue in their respective
offices in that body, for the election of
these officers is with the next Legis
lature. That being the case there
would be only three members of the
Board remaining, the Governor, Sec
retary of State and State Treasurer.
They could do nothing, for the law
provides that five members must vote
for deficiencies to create them.
Overpayments Are Forbidden.
Before the passage of the act creat
ing the Emergency Board, when there
were dencits, certiheates of indebted
ness were issued and the succeeding
Legislature -provided for their payment
with appropriations. It is doubtful,
however. If any of the officials will
dare create debts under the emergency
bill, for one of its provisions says in
part:
"Any officer, trustee, manager, di
lector, superintendent or commissioner.
wno snail violate the provisions of this
act by creating a deficiency, incurring
a liability or expending a greater sum
than is appropriated by the Legisla
tive Assembly for any institution or
department of this state in any one
year, shall individually and with their
sureties be liable to any person, co
partnership or corporation with whom
liability is attempted, and such viola
tion shall be deemed a misdemeanor
and any officer, trustees, manager, di
rector, superintendent or commissioner.
upon conviction thelMpf, shall be fined
in any sum not less toan $1000 or more
than $5000."
AVest Create Deficiency.
Attorney-General Crawford, in an
offhand opinion recently involving an
other question, said that the members
of the Legislature held their positions
until their successors qualified. If
that is the case the present Emer
gency Board will continue until the
next session of the Legislature. How
ever, it is not known whether Mr.
Crawford, who was out of the city to
day, took into consideration the plain
statement of the constitution referrea
to by Secretary of State Olcott.
If Secretary Olcott's construction of
the law is correct it is probable that a
meeting of the board will be called
in a few days to determine what shall
be done to tide the state over finan
cially until the Legislature can act.

SHE DARKENED HER GRAY
HAIR
A Kansas City Lady Darkened Her
Gray Hair and Stimulated Its
Growth by a Simple
Home Process.
She Tells How She Did It.
A well-known resident of Kansas
City. Mo., who darkened her gray hair
by a simple home process, made the
following statement: "Any lady or gen
tleman can darken their gray or faded
hair, stimulate its growth and make it
soft and glossy with this simple recipe.
which they can mix at home: To half
pint of water add 1 oz. of bay rum, 1
small box of Barbo Compound and 4
oz. of glycerine.. These ingredients can
be purchased at any drug store at very
little cost. Apply to the hair every
other day until the gray hair is dark
ened sufficiently, then every two weeks.
This mixture relieves scalp troubles and
is excellent for dandruff and falling
hair. It does not stain the scalp, is not
sticky nor greasy and does not rub off.
It will make a gray-haired person look
10 to 20 years younger." Adv.

The cost cannot be kept below an
