Herbert Crofts, Acquitted on Xon

cause "He Wed to Me."
Although the District Attorney's of
fice lost the case aeramst Herbert
Crofts for non-support, tried before
Circuit Judire Morrow yesterday, it
came out victor in an informal ex
change of courtesies between attorneys
following the final argument in the
case.
Personalities had been freely indulged
in during' the course of the trial by
rputy District Attorney Charles C.
Hindman and Attorney V. B. Layton.
of the firm of Hurlburt A: Layton.
Deputy Hindman resented the con
stant efforts of the defense to bring
out testimony apainst the character of
Mrs. Crofts, which Judge Morrow had
ruled was irrevelant, and verbally at
tacked Attorney Layton in the closing
argument.
mow A turners Vitriolic Remark.
Passing out into the hall from the
courtroom, after the jury had been
charged, the two attorneys met.
"Hindman"' called Attorney Layton.
The Deputy District Attorney turned to
him. "I think you're a yellow " began
the insult, Mr. Layton is reported to
have flung at Mr. Hindman.
As the remark ended. Attorney Hind
man's clenched fist glanced .from the

this Juncture.
Attorney Layton continued to express
his opinion of the Deputy District At

marks of his own, turned away and
continued down the corridor. Mr.
Hindman is by far the larger man.
Rival" ThMKhrd for I.le.
After he had testified to numerous
acts of misconduct in which his wife
and one Andrew Stafford had figured.
Crofts, on trial before Circuit Judge
Morrow, made a naive statement in re
ply to the cross-examination of Deputy
District Attorney Hindman. He ac
cused, Stafford of wrecking his home
but thrashed him because he had lied.
"T thrashed him because he lied to
me." Crofts testified.
"Then it wasn't because he was in
fatuated with your wife?"
"No. it was because he lied. If there
It anything I hate it is a liar." was the
reply.
In an r.ffirtavit which Circuit Judge
Morrow refused to allow to be entered
in the proceedings. Crofts made varied
accusations of misconduct against Mrs.
Crofts, his wife for L'O years and the
mother of five children.
ichtly Vliltn Charged.
He charged Stafford, who was round
house foreman on the Western Pacific
In l.'tah when Crofts lived there, with
following his wile to Portland and of
seeing her rightly here.
This defamation of character was de
clared by Judge Morrow, in a new rul
ing on the non-support law, to be ex
cluded from inclusion in the "just and
sufficient cause" phrase in the law,
which provides an excuse for some
wife-deset tei s. Judge Morrow held, in
the fae. of vigorous protests from At
torneys Hurlliurt & Layton. that only
inability of a husband, through illness
or lack of work, to support his wife
would constitute rause for non-support.
If she did not conduct herself
properly, the man's relief was the di
vorce court, not a refusal to support
her. the judse declared.
The jury returned a verdict of not

OREGON POLITICAL GOSSIP
Andy G. Vaughn, Portland Police Detective for Many Years, Announcing
His Candidacy for Constable, Says "Too Much Energy Is Now Devoted
to 'Grandstand Plays", in Administration of the Office Washington
County Primary Campaign Warming Up Other Political News.
ANDY G. VAUGHN, for many years
a member of the Portland police
detective bureau, announced his
candidacy yesterday for the Republi
can nomination for Constable.
His platform is brief. Mr. Vaughn
promises, if elected, to administer the
office of Constable with greater effi
ciency and courtesy in handling the
process serving of the District Court;
to cut down office expense by concen
trating his men on work properly
coming under his jurisdiction as Con
stable: and to eliminate Interference
with the work logically falling within
the jurisdiction of the police or Sher
iff. "I believe that too much energy Is
now directed to 'grand stand' plays,
and that not enough attention is paid
to the dispatch of work relating to
the district courts," says Mr. Vaughn
in his statement of candidacy.
"The police department and the
Sheriffs office are thoroughly com
petent to handle criminal cases in the
city and county. It is the duty of
the Constable to assist in criminal
work only when appealed to by either
the Sheriff or the police authorities.
It is not his duty to compete with
them at the expense of the taxpayer,
with resultant delay of work in con
nection with the District courts, for
the advancement of personal or po
litical ends."
Although a resident of Portland for
25 years, this is Mr. Vaughn's first
political venture. He was born In Cal
ifornia, but his parents removed to
Portland when he was two years old.
They died a few years later. He was
educated in the public schools of
Washington County and of Portland.
In 1901 he entered the Portland Po
lice Department as a patrolman. Two
years later he was promoted to the
rank of detective. He has a clean rec
ord in the department and a number
of important criminal captures to his
credit. Mr. Vaughn will open cam
paign headquarters shortly at the Ore
gon Hotel.
The race for Sheriff stands out as
the main event of the primary cam
paign in Washington County. The as
pirants include two ex-Sheriffs, the
present chief deputy, and two farmers.
The latest to enter the race is Grant
Mann, of Cornelius, a well-known
farmer. Mr. Mann announces himself
as the "taxpayers" candidate" and
makes the startling proposal to pay
all his traveling expenses within the
county. The other aspirants to date
are Jesse Applegate, present chief
deputy; John Connell, who went out
of office 12 years ago; George G. Han
cock, who was Sheriff four years pre
ceding the two terms of Sheriff Reeves,
incumbent, and D. J. Mclnnis. farmer,
of Orenco. The salary of the office
Is J1800 a year.
Next in interest is the contest for
District Attorney. E. JB. Tongue, as
pirant for a third term, is opposed by
H. T. Bagley, ex-Mayor of Hillsboro
and brother of Circuit Judge Bagley.
There is also a warm contest for Cir
cuit Judge, with W. H. Mollis, of For
est Grove, seeking the Republican nom
ination against George R. Bagley, In
cumbent, who was appointed by Gov
ernor Withycombe. The judicial dis
trict embraces Tillamook and Wash
ington counties.
So far, at least. Washington Countv
has no tandidaie of its own for State
Senator from the Twenty-fourth Dis
trict, comprising Washington, Yamhill,
Tillamook and Lincoln counties, now
represented by W. H. Hollis. Those out
for the Senatorshlp are: Thomas B.
Handley, Jr., of Tillamook; Jesse Ed
wards and J. U. Smith, of Newberg, and
Francis L. Michelbook, of McMinnville.
Professor W. C. AWerson. principal
of the Commercial-avenue school and
candidate for the Republican nomina
tion for County School Superintendent,
was a speaker Tuesday night at a meet
ing of the A'lberta Women's Improve
ment Club. Professor Alderson briefly
outlined his ideas of the duties of the
office, based on his experience of 34
years as a teacher in Multnomah Coun
ty. In that time he has taught in both
the rural schools and the Portland city
schools, where he has been a grammar
school principal for 17 years.
A'. G. Cozad. of Canyon City, has an
nounced that he will resign at once as
District Attorney of Grant County to
accept the appointment as register of
the land office at Burns. Mr. Cozad
removes to Burns to take up his new
duties after a residence of 36 years In
Canyon City.
L. A. Fernsworth. editor of the Banks)
Herald and the Cornelius Tribune, Is
making a vigorous campaign for the
Republican nomination for one of
Washington County's three seats In the
lower house of the Legislature. He is
one of several editors through the state
who aspire to legislative honors this
year.

old-time political organization whose
name is a combination of Multnomah.
Oregon anil Portland, will hold a re
union and banquet at the Portland Ho

Portlanders' Services Offered
to War Department.
FRANK BOLL AM IS "DONOR"
Senator Chamberlain Turns Tele
gram Over to Adjutant-General's
Office and Due Con
sideration Is Promised.
Several of Portland's prominent citi
zens, some of whom perhaps are past
the Army age limit, have offered their
services to the United States should
volunteers be called for in settling the
Mexican controversy. And, what is
more, the War Department, on offi
cial stationery, has accepted the offer
"in the event it should be necessary."
Somewhere in the negotiations a joke
is lurking.
The Joke is on someone, but on
whom? Some may say it is on the
Honorable George E. Chamberlain,
Senator from Oregon: Others may say
the War Department Is the victim; and
some will delight in telling Frank
Bollam, of Portland, that he is the
"goat."
On the night of March 16. when the
Mexican border crisis stirred all
patriots' blood, Mr. Bollam took his
pen in hand and scribbled out the fol
lowing message, which he sent by
night letter "paid" to Senator Cham
berlain: "I am earnestly requested by the fol
lowing business, professional, railroad
and steamship men, including myself,
to offer their services to the Govern
ment in this Mexican controversy.
Some of these gentlemen are crack
shots, and a few of them would make
good scouts."
To this ominous message he added
the names of the following men: Julius
Meier. Aaron Frank. Andrew C. Smith.
George W. Joseph. Bert E. Hanev,
Barnett H. Goldstein. Charles H
Thompson. William E. Mahoney, Ed
ward B. Duffy, Lee Hong and Lee Yitt.
the last two prominent local Chinese
merchants, and several of t,he others
well-versed men In the art of fighting
according to the rules of war and
otherwise.
The chronicles do not specify in what
mood Senator Chamberlain received the
epistle. However, the Senator from
Oregon was not to be nonplussed or
outwitted. In. formal procedure he
passed the message over to the War
Department. It was a bona fide mes
sage. The morning mail yesterday brought
art official envelope to the desk of Mr.
Bollam. The letter enclosed bore the
number 2.380.822, showing how busy
the War Department has been, and it
read:'
"Acknowledging the receipt of your
telegram of March 16, 1916. to Hon.
George E. Chamberlain, and transmitted
by him to this department, in which
you tender the services of yourself and
others in connection with the Mexican
controversy, I have the honor to in
form you that your telegram has been
brought to the attention of the proper
authorities, and that it will receive due
consideration in the event that it should
be necessary to organize volunteer
forces, hut that, present plans do not
contemplate anysuch action."
The letter was duly signed by one
of the assistants in the Adjutant-General's
office.

WAS MARCIA'S CODE OF MORALS RIGHT?
Marcia Gray had all that a millionaire husband could give. Her life
was as tranquil as a midsummer's day. She entertained her fashionable
friends upon an elaborate scale.
Gray was passing; through troubled waters unknown to her. 'He was
president of a big trust company and -ruin and disgrace loomed ahead.
The crash came. Their friends of prosperity fled. Home, honor, every
thing was gone. It was the hour of transformation. Gold was turning
to tinsel ; tinsel was changing to gold. Marcia's love rose to its supreme
height and she stood by her prison husband in his time of greatest
need. Gray's manhood sunk to the sordid depths of jealousy and sus
picion, and when Marcia, at his suggestion, turned to a lawyer friend
a former lover and a bachelor for her sake, and secured aid, she was
accused of having purchased it at the expense of her honor.
The tense dramatic scenes that follow will touch all the emotions and
tell in a vivid, true-to-life way the story of one of the most perfect
examples of a perfect love that has ever been recorded. Was Marcia's
code of morals right? Come, see and decide for yourself.
