Whole State Included in Plan to Put on Attractive Ap pearance for Tourists. ALIENATION SUIT ENDS, TOO lO t (ii- i Mi: FREE USE OF PAIMT URGED Governor's Proclamation Sets Time of Beautifying Oregon as May 1 to 11 and Kvery Kesldcnt 3 s Asked to Co-operate. Tortland will begin to "dress up for company" tomorrow, for then begins the "Clean-up and l'aint-up" week whirh was proclaimed by Governor "Wlthycoinbe, to run from May 4 to May 11. Not only Portland, but every other city In the state, will be doing like wise. Several of them already have done so. The movement was orlRlnated at the Instance of the Federation Women's Clubs, which prevailed upon the Gov ernor to make the proclamation, and which has been active in every com munity in carrying on the propaganda of tha campaign. The Civic Bureau of the Portland Chamber of Commerce took up the movement as Its first activity under the reorganized Chamber, and under a committee, of which George IX -L.ee was appointed chairman, has carried on a campaign for the past two weeks to organize the work, not only in Port land, but in other parts of the state. Medical Hen Co-operate. The State Board of Health and the medical men of the state have been active in assisting in the work. I Dr. Calvin S. White, secretary of the State Board, has sent the following let ter of suggestion to Mr. L-e: Your campaign of Clean-up week, May 4-11 meets the heartiest approbation of the State Board of Health. The only success ful campaign against flies is not to breed them und cleanliness is the only way to pre vent this. A systematic inspection of the various locations of the city, particularly bark yards and garbage pails, cannot but dJ wonders. A public health campaign Is a campaign of education and cleanliness is the aheet-anchor of good health. In the meantime schools, civic clubs and business firms have joined to make clean-up and paint-up week a success. Kven before the official time set for the opening of the clean-up week cleaning up and painting up In business ami residence sections throughout the city has been commenced. During the week schools of the city will carry on a general clean-up work under the supervision of the principals. The purpose back of the entire move ment, as expressed by the committee, is to have the cities of Oregon make themselves as attractive as possible, so ' that the impression left upon tourists who pass through Oregon on their way to and from the expositions may be the impression of a state full of beau-; tiful cities and beautiful homes. KHIInK Vacant Ilouiri 1'lanneiL One of the Interesting details that Is being carried out under the auspices of the Alberta Woman's Improvement Club is a plan to enlist the assistance of landlords owning dilapidated houses to let people who cannot afford to pay rent, or at least to pay hiajrh rents, move into these houses and clean and repair them, so that they will not only be suitable tfr homes once more, but will present a more attractive appearance than they do in their present condi tion. The extent of the preparations that are being made in other cities of the" state is indicated by scores of letters that are coming in to the committee, of which the following from the Grants Pass Commercial Club is typical: t Tour letter of the 2?th. relative to "Clean- up and Palnt-up" is hereby acknowledged and in reply thereto beg to state that rea- ilzlng the importance of city cleanliness and anticipating early travel of a large numoer of touring visitors, Urants Pass, through the efforts of committees of this club. In co operation with the city officials, held Grants Pass clean-up from March 25 to 29. during which time all were busy doing their part in tnat direction; etnee that time painting has been going on in all parts of the city. At the present time committees from this rlub and the Ladies' Auxiliary are arranging for a general clean-up of the Pacific High way In Josephine County and we are pleased to state we believe when these committees have finished no county or city will present a better appearance for cleanliness than Josephine and- Orants Pass. I OPERATOR NEARLY DROWNS Hank Wright Saved From Willam ; ette at Falls Barely in Time. While fishing for salmon below the falls at Oregon City yesterday. Hank Wright, chief operator of the city fire alarm system, had a narrow escape from drowning. A launch got foul of the anchor tackle of his boat, with the result that he was Jerked overboard into the swift water. A. B. Crow, as sistant engineer of the fireboat George II. Williams, and Roy Abbott, assistant fire alarm operator, who were in the boat with Wright at the time of the accident, succeeded in rescuing him, but not before he was practically ex hausted from his struggle with the water. Wright maintained his grip on the cable or he probably would have been swept beneath the waters. His strug gle and the low temperature of the water had rendered him so weak by the time he was rescued that he was hardly able to help himself. 82 MAZAMAS SCALE PEAK Table Mountain Climbed and Neigh boring Country Kxplored. Three parties of Mazamas, 82 in all, scaled Table Mountain, opposite Cas cade Locks, yesterday and tho-day be fore, returning to the city last night on the 7:45 o'clock train. One of the parties left Portland earjy Saturday and reached the top of the mountain that night, where they camped until Sunday morning. The main party of BO left the city Saturday night on the North Bank and camped about six miles from the summit, reaching the top of the peak the next morning in time for the sunrise. Another party followed later. The hikers also explored the country about the peak, and 36 made a trip down Greenleaf Creek Canyon. Table Mountain is 3420 feet high, and the Mazamas report that some snow fell upon it Saturday night. The weather was said to have been Ideal for the climb yesterday. A. H. S. Haffenden and Charles A. Benz, who had previously made two trips to Table Mountain, were the lead ers of the main party. Woman's Union Meets Today.

CRITICISE IS RESENTED GRAXP. JURY ILL ADVISED, AVER COUNTY' COMMISSIONERS. Iveeulug of Rock luarry- nt Kelly Hut te Shut Down Called Economical In , atead of Belner Wasteful. x County Commissioners say the grand jury was ill-advised that criticized them for closing down the Kelly Butte rock quarry, where prisoners have been em ployed in time past In crushing rock for county roads. Each of the three Commissioners declare there is no de mand for the rock, that the county roads within -reach of the quarry are already macadamized. The paving of county roads which is contemplated requires but little rock. it is said. The Commissioners asked Roadmaster Yeon recently if he wanted the Ivelly Butte quarry reopened and were told there was no use for the rock. The jurors did not discuss the matter with the Commissioners at all, nor with Roadmaster Yeon, it is averred. "There is no waste in allowing the Kelly Butte quarry to stand idle, said W. Li, Lightner, chairman of the Board, yesterday, "for the Kelly Butte quarry has paid for itself many times already. "It was purely a matter of economy CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP OBSERVANCE IS URGED Plea Made Not Only on Behalf of Pride and Longevity. BY GEORGE D. LEE, Chairman of Committee. AVE you joined the "clean-up and paint-up" movement? If not, get in line and march to the front ranks and be ready for duty May 4-11. The royal battle of "clean-up and palnt-up" will be fought all over the state. This movement has enlisted the aid of everyone, young and old, the schools, the clubs, commercial organi zations, municipalities and country communities. The original movement was started by the Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs, which led" to the issuing of the proclamation to "clean up and paint up oy Governor Withycombe, ana was followed by the appointing or a com mittee from the Portland Chamber of Commerce, under the auspices of the Civic Bureau, composed of G. D. Lee, chairman; N. G. Pike, J. H. Dundore, Dr. K. A. Pierce, K, D. Carpenter, L. R. Alderman. Edgar W. Smith. H. R. Hayek and M. E. Smead. This committee inaugurated a pub licity campaign of stupendous work and met with successful co-operation on the part of ministers and physicians throughout the state. From many a pulpit today the sermon will be preached that "cleanliness is next to godliness." That it has received true co-operation from the physicians is evidenced by the responses. One physician indorsed the move ment as follows: "It is much more exhilarating and encouraging to see 0 AT VARIOUS PLACES IN in county finances to stop operation at Kelly Butte," said Rufus C. Holmau. "We did not need any more rock for the roads. The bunkers were full or crushed rock when we shut the place down and it was costing money to run it that could be saved. ' "We kept Kelly Butte closed on ad vice of Roadmaster Yeon," said Philo Holbrook. "The quarry costs abou $2000 a month to operate. We are ready at any time to reopen it if it will serv any useful purpose to do so. PIONEER IS NEAR DEATH E. V. Howard Reported Critically 111 at Son's Home at Molalla. - E. V. Howard, pioneer of 1853, is re ported to be at the point of death a the home of his son. L. I. Howard at Molalla. He is 81 years old. Mr.' Howard has lived at Junctio City the greater part of his life 1 Oregon. He conducted the first Btor at Smithfield, in Lane county, how ever, and bvilt the Junction City flour ing mills. Mr. Howard has 13 children livin Seven of the daughters and two son are with him. They are: M"rs. J. W Hedges, of ban Francisco; Mrs. C. W Starr, Mrs. Nora Dixon, Mrs. Mabl Baker, Mrs. Dora Savern, Eugen Mrs. Frank Meyers. Hood River; airs. G. O. Powell; Portland: B. K. Howard busene, and . V. Howard, Portlan and Progress, But as Aid to Health clean, well-kept yards and lawns, clean streets and buildings than to see dirty lawns and neglected buildings. The first example is exhilarating; the sec ond is depressing. In which state of mind do you do your best work? The condition of one's health under the dirty and clean conditions Is too well understood to need any comment." This physician indorsed the movement In an elegant manner, and so did another, as follows: "Want to put the doctors out of busi ness? With good water and a salu brious climate and an abundance of fresh food most of the doctors are idle loafers now. Now add to this clean liness, personal and property, and the medical men will have to seek an hon est means of livelihood. But I am with you Just the same. I am having my house painted and lawn mowed, and when the painters get their stuff out I will flush out the garage." Are you going to do the same? Take heed to the advice of the above phy sicians. It is vital that everything be made spick and span, not only for showing off to the visitors that are coming to Oregon this Summer, but for the sake of yourself, your family and surroundings. So remember it's for the good of the city, the state, for you and the visitor, so let's clean up and paint up May 4, 5, 6, 7. 8, 9, 10 and 11, and then we will be clean, spick and span and ready to receive the influx of guests that are on the way now to pay Portland and the state a visit. "Clean up and paint up!" Mother of Prisoner Is First to Thank Body for Acquittal of Son AVhoso Defense Is Cruelty Caused Woman to IeaTC Slate. WHITE PLAINS. K. Y.. April 27. Richard S. Darling, who has been on trial before County Judge Piatt and a Jurv on a charge of "stealing Mrs. Katherine Lyall Shaw, wife oi i-tohert Marsden Shaw, a New York banker. and taking her to the Gedney Farms Hotel, White Plains, on Dececber 31, 913 was acauitted. The Jurors then naa an nour xui supper. It took mem only auuut minutes to agree. The first nerson to thank the jurors was Mrs. William Darling, mother of the defendant, who greeted each Jury man with xl handshake and these words: "Your verdict is a 'righteous one." Darliner was greatly pleased. T never stole Shaw's wife." he said. She left his home of her own accord because of his cruelty toward her. I felt all along that the jury would not convict me. The prosecution of Darling under , a special section of the white slave act was the first case or Its Kina to De tried In the criminal courts of the state and the result was watched with great merest by lawyers. Darling, who was formerly head of the Acme Sanitary Safe Company, was indicted for a felony in that he en ticed Mrs. Shaw from her home in Mor ristown and took her to the Gedney Farms Hotel, where they stayed for six days. Darlir.s did not testify in his own defense and Mrs. Shaw did not appear at -any time during the trial. Mr. Shaw left town before the ver dict was rendered. He announced that lie had dropped his suit for $50,000 damages against Darling for the alien ation of his wife's affections for all time. "You can't get blood out of stone." said he. "so what's the use of suing?" Just before -the defense closed its case Dr. F. G. Kneer, of the Post- Graduate College, was called. He tes tified that he had treated Mrs. Shaw on January 19, 1914, for an Injury to her back. The doctor said Shaw told him he had kicked his wife because he had found a roan getting too friendly with her. tr. .Kneer described Shaw as a psy- copathic unit" and said that the banker "suffered from ego slightly." This made Shaw scowl deeply at the physician. Air. Andrews in summing up for the defendant laid great stress on this note which he said Shaw had signed: "I, Robert Marsden Shaw, in the presence of my mother, Mrs. Vivian Shaw, and her mother, Mrs. E. B. Lyall. say that I will prive my wife a divorce any time she wants it without any remunera tion." "Shaw testified that hi3 life with his wife was always one of sunshine and happiness until Dickie Darling stole his wife away, as he describes it." said Mr. Andrews. . "Does that statement of Shaw telling his wife she can have a divorce any time look like sunshine?" Assistant District Attorney William J. Fallon, in retaliation, then read a love letter wnicn ne saitl Uarling had writ ten to Mrs. Shaw after the hotel epi sode, saying that it showed the rela tions between the couple. GHURGHDRONESSGORED DR. H1NSOV WOULD PUT OUT ALL XOT RIGHT WITH DHITH. Cutting of Membership in Half la Sng- seated In fifth Anniversary- Ser mon at White Temple. "The sooner we get together and cut our membership in half the sooner we will gain strength." said ' Dr. W. B. Hinson in his sermon at the White Temple yesterday morning, celebrating the fifth anniversary of his pastorate here. The pastor held up before his hearers the ideal of a church in which all were workers and from which the drones had been banished. "If a church member will not get right with the truth he should get out of the church," said the pastor, and if he will not get out of the church, he should be put out. There is too much truce, too much collusion. too much fellowship with the world on the part of the church of today. "Tho saying. 'lie that is not with us is against us,' is still as true now as it was in the days of old. There are many of the churches of the city who need to clean house that would be bet ter off If some of the members were removed from the church roll." In closing the paster said that he had no apology to offer'- for the ser mons which he had preached during the past five years. "As I have preached for five years so will I preach for the next five," he said. "I call upon you to stand for a regeneration of the church member ship and then what success we have had in the past, we will have to an even greater extent In the future.

It is expected that this association will take care of the rose booth. The North Portland Commercial Club Ockley-Grcen Parent-Teacher Associa tion and the Woman's Auxiliary of the North Portland Commercial Club have decided to Join in a booth In the West Side center, instead of holding a rose show in Peninsula Park, as in former years. The sunken garden in Peninsula Park is considered a rose show in itself.

Olson's Motor Taken While lie Conducts Services. The Joy of personally conducting a successful song service was somewhat lessened with distress last night when Rev. J. v Richard Olson, pastor of the Immanuel Swedish Lutheran Church, stepped out of church only to discover that for the second time this year his automobile had been taken from in front of the parsonage. Now, I don't mind them borrowing it. but they ought to bring It back when church is over," said Rev. Mr. Olson. The automobile is a touring car.
