I The relative standing of the candi dates for queen of the Rose Festival vhs upset half a dozen times yoeterday hs supporters of one or another candi dates appeared at the headquarters at :::!6 Northwestern Bank building and cast anywhere from 100 to several thou sands .votes for their favorite. Miss Marian Rose Spoeri, candidate of the Ad Club and Rotary Club, was In the lead until late In the day. Just before the count for the day was made, however, the Progressive Busi ness Men's Club dumped in some 12.000 votes at once and Miss Beatrice Lash rose to first place on the .ticket with a total of 33,630. Miss Spoeri held second place still with 23.0J0. or about 10,000 less votes than tho leader. Under the plan, the highest number of votes when the contest closes will elect the queen of the Festival and the six candidates coming next In number of votes will be the six princesses. Ms Nut to Be lrl3ceiiKM. According to this system, the line-up st the close of the count yesterday would be as follows: Miss Lash, queen; Miss Spoeri. Miss Sybil Baker, candi date of the "Woodmen of the World: Ruth Angel, candidate of the Modern "Woodmen of America; Susie Scholes. candidate of the Moose Lodge; Myrtle Van Sickle, candidate of the Trades Schools, and Mary Lawler, candidate of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, prin cesses. Mtss Tura Janes, candidate of the Ti ibe of Ben Hur, who led in the count Monday, has fallen to ninth place. Not a single vote had been cast, for Miss Lash before yesterday. Miss Alice Nolan, candidate of the Northwestern Klectrlc Company, and Miss Ethelyn Miller, candidate of the Grand Army of the Republic, are the two lowest can didates on the list. The manner in which the votes come In, however, makes it wholly unsafe to predict from the present status of any candidate, just, where she may stand after anotther day's balloting, for the voting really only began yesterday and many of the organizations have not yet completed their campaign preparations. Tlotnry Club Opens Hendqnartern. The Rotary Club was the first to ap pear with campaign headquarters and a well-organized plan of campaign. The headquarters were opened in the Mor gan building, and every business man who is a member of the Rotary Club was made an agent for the collection of coupons to be turned In to the head quarters and delivered in bunches at the voting place. Other organizations are 'Timbering up" as rapidly as possible and several headquarters will probably be estab lished today. To give an equal chance to all can didates and make the election the re ward for popularity and industry, it has been decided by the committee that coupons clipped from newspapers pur chased in bulk for that sole purpose will not count, and the newspapers have decided not to sell their issues in any quantity for such purpose. This Is hoped to make it impossible for the contest to degenerate into a competi tion in which vote-purchasing power alone could be counted on to win. PRS0NALMENTI0N. J. M.

TRUCK DRIVER GUILTY FRED SKOCSliTH - CONVICTED OF KILLING RUSSELL WARD. "Involuntary Manslaughter Act" la In voked and Verdict First I'nder . Statute Passed la 1864. Fred Skogseth was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter by a Jury in Judge Gatens' court yesterday be cause a motor truck he was' driving December 7 struc kand killed Russell Ward, aged 11. This is said to be too first conviction ever obtained under the "involutary manslaughter act," which has been on the Oregon statutes since 1864. , The jury was out five hours before finding Skogseth guilty. The case had been fought determinedly by attorneys and the trial lasted four days. The defense attempted to show that Skog seth had his motor truck under control at the time of the accident, and that the boy, who was on roller skates, skated in front of the machine. The fatal accident occurred at Klll ingsworth and Williams avenues. Wit nesses said' Skogseth was driving at 12 or 14- miles an hour. Skogseth - de clared that when he struck the boy he had slowed down to four miles an hour. The state contended that, after strik ing the boy, the truck skidded 120 feet before it could be brought to a stop. Deputy ' District Attorney Hammers- ley, arguing the case before the Jury, declared the Involuntary manslaughter act was doubly valuable since the ad vent of automobiles, although it was passed by the Legislature in a day when motor vehicles were unheard of. The penalty is one to IS years in the penitentiary. Bar-less Path Tread to End Jail-Visiting Habit. John Maronrj, 44 Times In City Han dle Since Labor Day, Wends Way - to Koarbnrg for New Start. A THRILL swept the Municipal Jail yesterday. John Maroney; in jail 44 time since Labor day, has made good only his promise to bid our fair city adieu. . Maroney, a bricklayer, is on his way to Roseburg, where, in territory high and dry and far from a bar, he will mend his way, it is hoped, along paths that do not all lead to the city bastlle. When he explained to Municipal Judge Stevenson -esterday that he in tended to leave the city, and' had his fare, the ma-gristrate remarked wearily: - "Seems to be that's about the tenth time you have sworn not to--darken the doors of this jail again. If some one will vouch to see you out of the city, you may go.." The silence, was broken as Public Defender Robinson came to the rescue. "Your honor." he said, "I will stand sponsor for this man and will see that be leaves the city." The Associated Charities pledged their aid, so Maroney is on his way southbound. "It will seem funny if he isn't here next week," grinned Jailer Branch. IDLE GET 66,587 MEALS "Hotel le Troy" Gives Lodgings to 71,62 0 During AVinter. , The "Hotel de Troy" furnished 66, 587 meals and 71,620 lodgings to un employed men during the -Winter months, according to the report of the citizens'- employment committee to the Board of County Commissioners yes terday. The report strongly Indorses the method of handling the unemployed problem. In payment for their meals and lodg ing the men cut approximately 2000 cords of wood. All of this was sold to defray the hotel's expenses except 450 cords, which was burned in the building. "W were surprised at the large per centage of men who wanted to work," says the report, "and we were unable to supply the demand." Out of 1392 men 198 were more than 50 years of age, 734 were between the ages of 30 and 50 and 460 were under 30 years. Several boys under 18 were cared for. Of the 1392 men 794 were Engltsh-speaking. The committee recommended that the Municipal Free Employment Bureau be located at the "hotel," which is in the old Troy laundry building, so that it will not be necessary to dismantle the place during the Summer. The sewing department for unem ployed women reported that it still has on hand $1123.12. Relief was ex tended to 450 women, who earned their living for a time by sewing. Two wom en at least, says the report, were saved from suicide by the relief. STUDENTS TO RATE ESSAYS Washington High Seniors Pass on Discussions of Clean-Cp Week. Washington High School has taken up the first bundle of the essays on clean-up week that were turned in by the public school pupils to the Chamber of Commerce clean-up committee, and the preliminary Judging on these essays will be done by seniors In the English department. A similar arrangement will be sought with the other high schools to make it possible to handle the 15.000 or more essays with more speed than a small Judging committee could hope to obtain. The final Judg ing will be done by a committee, of which Edgar Smith is chairman. The swat-the-fly campaign was the closing feature of the clean-up week yesterday. The movement was merely launched in the public schools, and it will be continued as a campaign in which to Interest the school children through the Summer. DELAY IN HEARINGS SAVES PRINCIPALS Charges Nullified by Refusal to Waive Legal Rights and Dismissal Danger Wanes. BOARD TO ACT ON MAY 20 Investigation After Expiration of 10 Day Period Prescribed by Law la Kerused by Both, Who De manded Action Karller. Phincipals C. M. Stafford, of the VYoodlawn School, and O. R. Dinwiddie, or the Richmond School, whose dismis sal at the close of the school year has been recommended by Superintendent Alderman, will stand on their legal rights in the matter of a hearing on the charges brought against them, the effect of which will be to nullify the charge, since the School Board did not give them a hearing within the re quired period. Both principals have written School Clerk Thomas, in reply to a recent let ter from him, stating they will not waive their legal rights and that since the Board has not seen fit to set the date of the hearing within the required 10-day period, they will not submit to a later hearing. Both men are acting within their rights, it is stated, and they cannot be forced to appear be fore the Board for a hearing. This stand prevents their discharge by the Board on the charges filed. Accord ingly, they will be retained for another year in their present positions unless new charges are filed or they are trans ferred. Illness One Cause of Delay. Superintendent Alderman's charge were to the effect that both principals were lacking in leadership and profes sional Interest. Due largely to the illness of Chair man Munly. of the School Board, hear ings for the two principals were de layed. The subject was brought up at the last meeting of the School Board and School Clerk Thomas was directed to write the two men, asking if they were content to waive their legal rights and agree to a hearing later than the statutory 10 days from the date of a requested hearing. Letters were re ceived yesterday by Mr. Thomas from both men demurring to this proposal. Superintendent Alderman said yes terday the matter will be submitted to the School Board at the next meeting. May 20. He declined to say whether further charges will be preferred against the two or whether they will be transferred, from their present posi tions. At the coming meeting, the list of teachers for re-election for the com ing year will be submitted to the Board. Hearings Once Asked by Both. Under the provisions of the tenure of office law for teachers, passed by the Legislature In 1913, they are some what, more secure in their positions than before. By virtue of this law, teachers against whom charges are brought must be given a hearing by the School Board within 10 days from the date the school clerk is notified by the teacher that a hearing is wanted. Failing to do this, the charges fall to the ground. Both accused principals gave notice to School Clerk Thomas that they wanted a hearing, but by reason of the enforced absence of Chairman M. G. Munly, of the School Board, no meeting of the Board was held until after the 10-day periods had gone by. Charges, when proved, are passed upon by the Board and whether or not they are cause for dismissal is left largely with that body. The law is con strued by Portland school officials that overt acts by teachers are not requisite for dismissal. DECORATIONS TO BE TOPIC East Side Business Men to Consider Plans at Friday Luncheon.
