MARRIAGE PLAN ALLEGED Mrs. Hood Agrees to Return to Hus band, Police Say, but Only on Condition That Dobbs Be Allowed to Go Free. SALT LAKE CITT. Jan. 24. Ray mond Dobbs. a mulatto. Bald by the police to have compelled Mrs. Viola Hood, of San Diego. Cat. to elope with kin. ..J Un YTnrwt rnirrndfred today to the police. Dofbs said he reead In a newspaper that the police were seeaing him and decided to give himself up to avoid trouble. The negro says Mrs. Hood urged him to leave San Diego with her, and that he did not use any threats upon her. He says they ar rived here from Los Angeles together lest night and remained at a hotel. Mrs. Hood confirmed Dobbs story, so the police said. Dobbs. according to the police, said Mrs. Hood had urged him at intervals for a year to elope with her and that the provided the funds with which they traveled when they left San Diego last Friday. Mrs. Hood has consented to return to San Diego if desired on condition that Dobbs be allowed to go free, the police said.

Mrs. Hood said that when shi- ': l'obbs arrived here last night tiiey w.-it to a rooming-house, Dobbs afterward r.Jing her to a hotel, remarking that the rooming-house was "not a moral place."

HCSBA-ND'S FAITH IS TJXSHAKEX Hood Declares Wife Was Terrorized by Negro's Threats. LOS ANGELES. CaL, Jan. 24. With his faith in his wife unshaken by reports from Salt Lake City. Van Lee Hood. San Diego hotel proprietor, pre pared late today to take a train for theh Utah capital to join Mrs. Viola Hood, who surrendered to the police tucn today after Raymond Dobbs. a mulatto, with, whom she was declared by the police to have said she eloped, gave himself up. Hood came here from San Diego to co-operate more closely with the po lice in the search for Mrs. Hood. When Informed that Mrs. Hood and Dobbs had surrendered at Salt Lake City, the husband issued a statement asserting his faith in the wife. At the same time he declared he would devote his life and means to vindicating her char acter, while seeking to punish her companion. Disregarding the statements at tributed to Mrs. Hood altogether, the husband found what he declared to be flaws in the statements Dobbs was reported to have made. "Dobbs has not known Mrs. Hood for a year, and his reported declara tion that my wife tried for a year to induce him to run away with her is untrue. Hood declared. "Dobbs has been known only since last Summer, to us. and from what my wife's mother told me since Mrs. Hood's disappear ance, mi wife was in terror of Dobbs the greater part of this time because " of threats which Mrs. Hood's mother has since told me were made by Dobbs." After Dobbs and Mrs. Hood were re ported today to have given themselves up. the husband received a telegram from Mrs. Hood, evidently sent before she went to police headquartts in Salt Lake City. This message, ac cording to the husband, read: "Am alone In Salt Lake City. Hotel Moxura. Send money for ticket home. Don't come after me. Weather mighty cold. Have read home papers." The telegram was signed "Viola Hood." The husband telegraphed in reply that he would proceed to Salt Lake City on the first train. Students' View, on "Watch ful Waiting" Humorous. Llaa Boya aad Olrla Interpret F.i preaaloa as Applied to Government Affairs. ALB A NT. Or.. Jan. 24. (Special.) "Watchful waiting Is. to see who the next President is going to be." That was an answer of an eighth grade student in Linn County, given in an examination last week. In the state elgbth-grade examinations in this county the students were asked in the test in civil government to explain the term "watchful waiting." and In grad ing the papers this week the Linn County examining board found many amusing answers. -Watchful waiting is, to see if we are going - to war and to see if the United States Is going to be dry," an other lad wrote. While thera, were many amusing an swers, a large percentage of the stu dents connected with the term our Government's policy toward war, and quite a few directly with the Mexican situation, and the examining board Is inclined to feel that as a whole they did pretty well, because that it might "tump" the average full-grown citi zen to explain satisfactorily this now historic term. One student wrote. "Watchful wait ing in waiting patiently to see what Is YOUR BRONCHIAL TUBES When a cold settles in the bronchial tubes, with that weakening, tickling cough, immediate treatment is very important. The breath seems shortei because of mucous obstructions; usu ally fever is present, your head jars with every cough and your chest may ache. This is no time for experimenting or delay you must get Scott's Emulsion at once to drive out the cold which started the trouble, and it will check the cough by aiding the healing pro cess of the enfeebled membranes. If you have any symptoms of bron chitis, or even a stubborn cold, always remember that Scott's Emulsion has been relieving this trouble for forty years. It is free from alcohol or drugs. Refuse substitutes. Scott a Bownc. Mnom firld. If J. IS-U rnlnar in hanDen." and one critic fig ured that he was not far wrong at that. The same Is true of another stu who niri. "Watchful waiting is waiting patiently for something to turn One of the best explanations of the term was as follows: "The term -watcn-ful waiting" is applied to the Mexican situation. We do not want to inter fere there until we have a good cause, although." the student added by way of personal opinion, "we have had many good causes." A newspaper man who was reading over the answer vouched that that stu dent was a member of a Republican family, as was also the student who gave the following somewhat satirical invcr: "Watchful waiting means Wilson's policy as to Mexico (do-as-you-please) situation." "Watchful waitinx the trouble with Mexico," was another answer. A non sympathizer with the Administration policies who read this answer suggested that the boy who wrote it was wrong, that the trouble was with the United States. One boy very evidently had obtained his impression of the phrase from a cartoon. "Watchful waiting." he wrote, "is an eagle which is standing bye railroad with out-stretched wings." Limit A.plrarlom Suggested. rtn. .tiMpnt wHa had secured a to tally erroneous idea of President Wil son's phrase, wrote: "Watchful waiting means not to take too much." Another answer almost as oaa was. &L'""M waiting is to wait and watcn lor me enemy." Among other explanations of the term given by the students were the follow ing: "Watchful waiting means to watch for war and wait for it." "Watchful waiting means we are waiting for war to come our way." "Watchful waiting is the President waiting for the European countries to start war with the United States." "Watchful waiting they should watch and wait if any trouble should begin." PANTAGES BILL IS GOOD OFFERINGS RANGE FROM GRAND OPERA TO JUNGMS SCENES.
