7 Mrs. Alva Lee Stephens, president of
the Parent-Teacher Association, of this
city, appeared at the board meeting
- yesterday and pleaded for the estab
. lishment of a clinic for the benefit of
the school children in the old Couch
School building. Her scheme Includes
the free treatment of those children
who need medical attention and are
; unable to pay, and the establishment
of a hospital with a competent nurse
;; In charge where illness may receive
C duo attention.
Hospital Plan Outlined.
," Mrs. Stephens, thought that the
,.. money now paid by the city for medi
y cal inspection might be diverted to the
school fund and that money used for
- fitting up the building and employing
v the help necessary.
She presented her claims at the con-.-
elusion of the meeting, too late for
- final consideration and it will be taken
up formally at the next regular raeet-
7? ing of the board.
She was informed, however, that a
-- legislative act would be necessary.
The judiciary committee was in
structed at the meeting yesterday to
obtain from the attorneys for the dis
trict what the course of action will
be in hearing the charges brought
against J. L. Kerchen', manual train
ing supervisor, by four manual train-
" ing instructors. There are several
legal points that the board wished to
have definite statements upon before
"I the case is considered.
... No definite announcement is possi-
ble ns yet when the charges , will be
.a heard and discussed by the board.
Their action will be based upon the

"Miss Lilian Tingle, domestic science
L supervisor, beginning April 8. and con-

k ordered paid.
The board ordered that the plans of
the Benson Polytechnic be revised so
as to accommodate not more than 2000
students. The plans that were re
;. jected were based on the maximum
capacity of 3500 students, for seven

LAWYERS READY TO SERVE
Meeting; Held to Show Sympathy
With Preparedness Programme.
Attorneys of the city have taken an
a'ctive part in arousing a sentiment for
National preparedness. . About 20 law
yers gathered informaliy at the Cham
ber of Commerce Wednesday night and
agreed that everything possible should
be done to arouse interest in this sub
ject and to get as many lawyers, as
well as members of other professions
and business men, to join the militia
or some other branch of the service.
Captain Blair, of the Oregon Naval
Militia, was present and John Logan
made a brief talk for the attorneys.

SUGGESTIONTO WOMEN
Who Are "Just Ready to Drop"
; When you are "Just ready to drop,"
-when you feel so weak that you can
hardly drag yourself about and be
cause you have not slept well, you
get up as tired-out next, morning as
when you went to bed, you' need help.
You can get it just as Mrs. Maxwell
did. She says:
"I keep house for my little family of
three, and became completely run
down. I was weak, nervous and could
not sleep; finally I was unable to do
my housework. ,A friend asked me to
try VInol. I did so and improved rap
idly.' It toned uo my system, I re
gained my strength, am no longer nerv
ous, sleep well, and do all my house
work." Mrs. J. C. Maxwell, Mont
gomery, Ala.
There is no secret about Vinol. It
owes its success to the medicinal ex
tractives of fresh cod livers, tonic iron
and beef peptone, the oldest and most
famous body-building and strength
creating tonics.
So many letters like the above are
continually coming to our attention,
that we freely offer to return the
money paid for Vinol in every case
where it fails to give satisfaction.

TODAY'S FILM FEATTRES.
Peoples "For the Defense," "Pic-
tographs."
Sunset "The Soul Market."
Columbia "Peggy."
Majestic "Gold and the Woman."
Pickford "The Prince and the
Pauper."
Starguerite Clark at Pickford.
MARGUERITE CLARK, the dainty
little Paramount star who ranks
in the first flight of screen lumi
naries, is all that is charming in "The
Prince and the Pauper," the plcturlza
tion of the famous Mark Twain ro
mance, which opened a week-end en
gagement at the Pickford Theater yes
terday. No better vehicle could Imve
been chosen to inaugurate the series
of return engagements for film clas
sics than Miss Clark and "The Prince
and the Peuper," for in this produc
tion she appears at her lovable best.
"The Prince and the Pauper" is the
eort of story all delight in. Nearly
everyone is familiar with the great
American humorists's inimitable story
of the ambitious little, beggar and the
adventurous little Prince, each of whom
craved the life and freedom of the
other. It is a rare combination of
quaint humor, rich and sparkling satire.
that has made the name of Mark Twain
revered the world aver, and the occa
sional dash of pathos which makes the
laughter the richer. Under the skill
ful handling of Miss Clark and a strong
supporting cast the story loses none of
its flavor, while the opportunity for
unusual double exposure work is taken
advantage of in masterly fashion. Miss
Clark plays the dual role of prince and
pauper.
. The Adventures of Musty Suffer, a
Kleine comedy feature j'hich is at'
tracting much attention throughout the
country, is another feature of the bill.
Fannie Ward at Peoples.
Fannie Ward; a charming Lasky star
who is experiencing a meteoric career
in gathering an enviable following in
the ranks of fllmdom, enhances hei
reputation further- in "For the De
fense," an unusually strong story.
which opened yesterday at the Peoples
Theater.
In "For the Defense" Miss Ward i
an -unsophisticated young French girl
who sets foot upon the shores of Amer
ica, only to" be plunged into the midst
of a maelstrom of exciting experiences
which result .in a- love affair with a
man accused -of , murder, and culmi
nating in a "third degree" episode of
unusual intensity.
No sooner does the little French lass
arrive in New York than she is seized
by a runner for a disreputable house.
She escapes from his clutches in time
to be a wKtnegiyof a murder. Two young
fellows, drunk, arrive at the home of
one, and in his condition one of the
men embraces the maid who opens the
door for them. The butler rushes to
the aid of his sweetheart and the
assailant is killed by a terrific fall
against the andirons. The chum, in
drunken sleep' during . the melee, is
aroused, charged with the-crime, and
runs away. Fidele, the alien, meets
Jim Webster, charged with the murder,
and they go to Canada. There he is
captured and sent home. By utilizing
the dictagraph, posing as a maid, and
awakening the jealousy of the butler's
sweetheart. Fidele secures evidence
which leads to the confession of the
butler.
The initial screening of "Picto
graphs," the new Paramount screen
magazine, opens a new field in film edu
cation. The first pictographs comprise
a blend of preparedness argument,
psychological test, pictured lecture on
the bathing of babies, under the cap
tion, "Better Babies"; a comedy car
toon series and topical cartoon. Such
names as Frederick Palmer, Henry
Reuterdahl, Hugo Munsterberg and Car
toonist Bray are identified with the
first series, which will be a weekly fea
ture hereafter.
When Billio Wore Pajamas.
In "Peggy" Billie Burke is playing
the part of an American hoyden who
visits Scotland and knocks the props
from under the sedate natives by her
pranks and personality. Billie Burke
in a few scenes has to wear pajamas;
the play says that she must and that,
moreover, she muet wear them in 38
different scenes. So, therefore, she had
no alternative, for who wouldn't wear
pajamas for $40,000?
A ticklish scene was enacted when
Ince imparted to Miss Burke the infor
mation that she would have to don the
silks. He timidly approached her suite
and rang the bell. As Miss Burke'e
maid opened the door the great pro
ducer completely "lost his nerve." He
simply couldn't force himself to ask
for the high-priced star. So he quietly
instructed the maid to tell Miss Burke
that she would have to wear pink pa
jamas in the scenes about to be made.
The next scene ehowed Billie making
a hasty exit from her suite and seek
ing out Producer Ince.
"Oh, Mr. Ince," she commenced, "my
maid has Just told me I will have to
wear pink pajamas today!"
"Well er er," stammered the pro
ducer, "I er er we er er well, yes,
your maid was right! It says so in the
script!"
"fio it does'." gasped the beautiful
star, as she perused the word. Then,
after a pause: "Can we change it, do
you think?"
"Oh, why change it?" queried Ince
without stuttering, for he was cool,
collected and deliberate now "the
scenes would not bo the same."
"Oh, I know," replied the roguish
young star, "but I'll be awfully nervous
if all these people around here gather
and watch.
"So that's your objection," said Ince
"Well, we can very easily overcome
that."
Many Scenarios for Tlicda.
A man was killed by swallowing
pickle fork in a New York restaurant
the other day. Aeide from the cause of
death, there was nothing unusual about
the incident. The man lived unsung
and died unsung. He was not a man
who loomed large in the public eye,
He left little to-his wife and family,
and, yet his children have an unusual
heritage not priceless, merely unusual.

Theda Bara receives daily an aver

WOO HOTEL RAID
SOU GETS SETBACK
False Testimony in Van Gorder
Damage Action Admitted
by Mrs. R. A. Burnett.
INJURY RULING IS GIVEN
Important Allegations bj" Plaintiff
Are Exploded in Case Against
Moral Squad and Secre
tary Warren.
Important allegations of the plain
tiff in the 125.000 damage suit of Mrs.
R. A. Burnett, formerly Mrs. R. A. Van
Gorder, against Police Lieutenant L.
A. Harms. Patrolman Lee Martin and
W. H. Warren, secretaryto Mayor Al
bee, were exploded in the trial which
opened before Circuit Judge Ganten
bein yesterday.
The action maintains that great
damage to business and reputation re
sulted from' moral squad raids con
ducted by the defendants on the Van
Gorder Hotel, formerly 105 Vi Twelfth
street, in 1915.
Two allegations in the complaint, to
which she had previously sworn, were
repudiated on the stand by Mrs. Van
Gorder-Burnett and charges of de
manded police protection, intimated by
the opening statement to the Jury of
Attorney Wilson T. Hume, appearing
for the woman, were not substantiated
by the witness.
Only One "Witness Cnlled.
On October 19, 1915, and on another
date, it was mentioned in the sworn
complaint that the defendants. Messrs.
Warren, Harms and Martin, had mali
ciously and unlawfully invaded the
hotel, threatening roomers with arrest
and otherwise injuring the reputation
of. the place. If -true, this was con
sidered a serious weakness in the de
fense. Mrs. Burnett was the only witness
called yesterday. Robert Maguire, at
torney for Lieutenant Harms, de
manded to know if such disturbances
alleged had really occurred.
"Did the defendants invade your ho
tel in that manner before the second
raid?" he asked.
"They didn't in person, but others
did," was the reply.
"You say the defendants did not com
mit the acts charged?"
"Other officers did, but not tnese."
"Do you know who they were?'
"No."
Knowledge Not Definite.
"Then when you swore to the truth
of the allegations in this complaint
you swore to what was not true and
what vou knew was not true?'
"Well, I suppose so," admitted the
witness.
Mrs. Burnett said that the officers
were sent there by Secretary Warren,
but on cross-examination admitted
that this was only her conclusion and
that she had no definite knowledge
of it.
"I Interd to show that prior to the
raid, Mr. Harms got Mrs. Van Gorder
out of bed and asked if she was go
ing to pay protection money for her
hotel, and she refused," said Attorney
Hume, in his opening statement to the
jury. Mr?. Burnett failed to testify
in quite those words.
Raider Are Described.
On the stand she said that Lieuten
ant Harms and an officer she did not
know, who had a red face and white
mustache, roused her at 2 o'clock one
morning six weeks prior to the last
raid. She said that after general con
versation, during which she told the
officers that she w.is obeying all po
lice instructions and that she even
asked the policeman on the beat
nightly If all was all right about the
hotel. Lieutenant Harms "asked me if
I was paying the man on the beat any
money for protection."
Deputy City Attorney Stanley Myers
and Attorney Maguire endeavored to
force Attorney Hume to elect which
single charge in the complaint it
would be necessary to combat. Mr.
Hume held that the charge was "con
spiracy to destroy nersonal oroDertv"
and the defense maintained there was
no actual destruction of property and
that the only charges which could be
pressed were malicious prosecution or
slander.
Injury Rulinic la Given.
Judge Gantenbein held that Injury
to good will would not amount to an
Injury to personal property, but that
if Attorney Hume were willing to take
his chances of a reversal by the Su
preme Court, he might continue.
An attempt was made by Attorney
Hume to bring out testimony relative
to Jack Wise, former moral squad
member, whose flight with Alma Good
ing,, a woman of questionable charac
ter, led to his discharge from the
force, but this was frowned upon by
tne court.
Seventeen officers and the Coroner
conducted the raid the night of Sep
tember 28, said Mrs. Burnett.
Get back in your room we're raid
ing this dump," she said was the re
mark of either Secretary Warren or
Lieutenant Harms to her when she
emerged from her room that night.
Lodger Declared Poor Sport.
Asked if she knew that Mrs. Louise
Moore, a woman who had been arrested
in the raid, was an immoral woman,
Mrs. Burnett replied, "I don't know
anything about it. If she was, she was
a mighty poor sport. You can only tell
oy the clothes they wear, and I ve seen
many society women dress worse!"
A query regarding another woman
won a characteristic response.
"She dldn t pay all her rent. She
couldn t have been a sporting woman
it she owed for her room.
In a conference with the Mayor, who
later furnished her with a list of peo
ple living in the Van Gorder Hotel who
were suspected by the police of being
improper persons, prior to the last raid.
Mrs. Burnett said she asked Mayor A1-.
bee how much protection money it was
necessary to pay to be left alone not
that her hotel was not being conducted
properly, but to avoid the disgrace of
the raids, which hurt business. She said
Mayor Albee was shocked at the sug
gestion, saying that it Intimated ex
tortion or blackmail.
Mayor's Confidence Cited.
Mrs. Burnett testified that Mayor Al
bee had much confidence in his secretary.
" "I'd stake my life on what Mr. War
ren said to be true,' the Mayor told me,"
she said. She also declared that Mayor
Albee told her at one time that Secre
tary Warren was in "full charge of the
police force."
Mrs. Burnett admitted that some of
the girls who had been convicted of
vagrancy in the Municipal Court stayed
at the hotel for some time after the
raid.
'I didn't know anything against
them," she testified.
'You knew they were arrested.
asked Attorney Maguire.
'I was arrested, too, was the calm
rerly. "They had nothing on me."
Because of the prosperity wave com-
ng and the good care she took of her
house, Mrs. Burnett said she figured
