Need of universal physical, moral and mili tary training- of the youth of the coun try with universal liability to war service; additional improved naval bases on the Pacific Coast and suffi cient ship, to guard the Puget Sound, Columbia River and California cities without weakening the naval protection of the Atlantic seaboard, and endorse ment of the Chamberlain Senate bill, featured a memorial to President Wil son and Congress adopted here today by the Northwest Preparedness Confer ence just before final adjournment. A resolution, adopted only after protracted debate, urpred that demon stration plants should be erected to develop the deposits of nitrates and potash within United States territory on the ground that such a course was an essential part of industrial and military preparedness. HtKhvrayn A re I rpfd. The resolutions urge the construction of highways, an appropriation for the construction of demonstration plants for the recovery of potash from the Pacific Coast kelp beds and favor the withdrawal by the Government of the phosphate deposits of Idaho and Mon tana and waterpower sites now held by private parties. Frank B. Riley, of Portland. Or.. uroed the construction of roads as a matter of National defense. The resolutions say further: "We make this appeal on the broad basis of National safety and welfare. This is a Union, one and indissoluble. A blow at the Atlantic states and cities will be a blow felt by the Middle West, the Rocky Mountain states and the Pa cific slope, and a blow at the Pacific Coast will be an injury to every other t tar in the flag. "The states bordering on the Pacific Coast of the great Northwest have many wealthy and populous Coast cities and towns, mani railroad and steamship terminals wholly dependent on the traffic of the ocean highways, lying today at the mercy of Invading foreign powers for the want of Na tional Coast fortifications for protec tion from invasion from the high seas. State Armories Wanted. "We believe that sufficient appro priation should be made by our State legislatures to provide adequate Ar mory facilities and to meet the admin istrative and incidental expenses of the National Guard troops of our several states when organized in accordance with the accepted plan for a force of citizen soldiery contained in the pend ing Federal legislation which we have indorsed. "We urge all business and profes sional men to give at once patriotic personal study and service as auxil iaries to the existing National Guard and Naval Militia and to business men's military lectures and citizens' camps, to the end that every citizen will voluntarily and at once give some assistance to changing the United States of America into a defended treasure land."

Mae Busch and Blanche Pay son, the Amazonian person not so long ago a policewoman at the Panama Fweific Exposition, and the fashion show of living models comprise the programme today at the Columbia The ater. This will be the last day of the style show, with the numerous girls sauntering across the stage in more numerous changes of garb. The Ince drama, "The Moral Fabric," with Frank Mills, Edith Reeves and Howard Hickman in leading roles, ex poses the fallacy of "free love" theory. "Wife and Auto Trouble" presents the popular Collier in the role of a meek hubby, browbeaten by the wife, Blanche Payson. He takes his troubles to his pretty stenographer, Mae Busch, a sen timental conversation is overheard, and then a series of complications are inaugurated which result in much fast, furious and funny action. Cleo Aspires to Thrill. Venus achieved fame . because of her exquisite beauty; Athena because she was wise, and Diana because she was shy. None of these, according to the present-day standards of motion picture, producers, would qualify as a great screen star, unless to the well known charms of each some other great claim was added. Cleo Ridgely declares that it is defiance of death which, more surely than any other virtue, will place a young woman among the ranks of the motion picture stars. To a. considerable degree Miss Ridgely possesses in combination some of the qualities of Venus. Athena and Diana. She is pretty, wise and shy. But these alone will bring her little in this world, she says. Therefore, when she decided some years ago to become a motion-picture star she started on the general theory that the public never was so interested in any thing as in a narrow escape from death. For several years she has been dodging the Big Scythe. Miss Ridgely is one of the most ex pert horsewomen in the country. The chances are that when you, some years ago, saw a motion picture of a woman falling down a precipice on the back of a horse, that woman was Cleo Ridgely. She is-now a star of the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company and her next photoplay entitled "The Love Mask." in which she co-stars with the hand some Wallace Reid. will reveal Miss Ridgely in a new feat of daring. In this picture she is seen on the top of a coach successfully stopping an en raged four-in-hand. This is said to be one of the most thrilling scenes ever pictured in a photoplay. Screene Gossip. Jack Barrymore and his lively bull pup are inseparable. The latter has a part in the production in which Barry more will next appear. He also has his meals served in the studio during re hearsals. Louise Lovely, in "Tangled Hearts," a society problem play, will be fol lowed on the Bluebird programme by Tyrone Power in " "John Needh&m'a Double," a melodramatic crime film of impelling interest. Violet Meraereau will be the star in "The Great Prob lem," and Warren Kerrigan will be the star shown in "The Gay Lord Waring." Four distinct types of photoplays, each of five-reel length, will afford four weeks' release of uncommon interest and attractiveness. Modistes, fashion editors and women of the haut nionde, take note. Here is the latest fad of the season, and its creator is the lovely Clara Kimball Young, whose motion picture "fans" are numbered in millions. Tint the finger-nails to harmonize with the color scheme of your gown! Miss Toung started the idea at the recent motion picture ball in Madison Square Garden, when she appeared with finger nails gilded to match the gorgeous gold embroidery of her costume. To match other costumes she has variously changed her finger-nail tints to pale blue, green and crimson. The effect is most striking. The paint used la a harmless water color. The night watchman at the Famous Players studio led a commonplace life until Marguerite Clark began work on the adaptation of "Molly Make-Believe," a forthcoming Paramount pic ture. There la a barnyard scene in which the little star is seen among her pets, -which include a rooster. So it cannot be wondered that the watchman nearly fell all the way down stairs when a vociferous chanticler g'reeted the approaching dawn with a lusty crow just as the studio guardian was making hi.s rounds. - "Old Tom" Burrough, who, by the way, is not old at all, and who is ap pearing in William Fox photoplays, is one of Staten Island's most substantial citizens. He pays taxes on more than $200,000 worth of real estate, all bought and paid for out of his earnings as an actor. Here is a good one. Anna Luther wears socks. Not men's socks that need garters that faster, about the calf, but kiddie's socks, the kind that the youngsters wear Summer and Win ter. "It is so cool and comfortable," smiled Miss Luther, when interrogated. Director James Toung. at the Lasky studio, is busy on a big production with the newest Lasky star, Mae Mur ray. Miss Murray received her ma chine from New York last week by freight, and the first thing she did was to go home, smash in the garage door, bend a bumper and crumble a fender. Mr. Young says if she can't take better care of herself she had better ride to and from the studio in her leather limousine (shoes). After losing all their clothing and luggage, when their hotel in Northern Maine was destroyed by fire. Director Fred J. Balshofer, Harold Lockwood. May Ellison and 20 other members of the Quality-Metro Company returned to New York in rough logging cos tumes which they wore while making the picture. In their quaint costumes the players attracted no end of atten tion when they arrived at the Grand Central station,, and made their way to their hotels. Five popular stars in three big pro ductions is- what the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company announces for release in the month of April. The stars in the three plays will be Wallace Reid and Cleo Ridgley in "The Love Mask"; Victor Moore, supported by Anita King, in an automobile thriller entitled "The Race," and Marie Doro in her first appearance as a Lasky star in a photoplay entitled "The Heart of Nora Klynn." CRUISERS F.l AY GOME SECRETARY DAXIELS REPLIES TO ROSE FESTIVAL REQUEST. Visit 1) urine Week Is Promised If Schedule Arranged for Pacific Coast Isn't Interfered With. Secretary Josephus Daniels, of the Navy, has promised that two protected cruisers shall be sent to PortLand dur ing the Rose Festival, June 7 8 and 9, provided the Navy schedule is not dis arranged, according to Postmaster F. 6. Myers. Secretary Daniels had received a communication from the Rose Festival board, which had made the request through the postmaster. Following is the letter in part from the Secretary. "I regret exceedingly that it will not be practicable to state definitely at this time whether or not such ar rangements can be made. A schedule will be prepared for the employment of all vessels on the Pacific Coast with a view of developing them to the high est state of preparedness, and should it be possible to arrange a visit to Port land without interfering with this schedule it ill give me great pleasure to see that the Tiecessary arrange ments are mnde."

A. Taylor & Co., Interior Dec orators, Furniture, Draperies and Wall Paper." This was the business card of F. A. Taylor, who is on trial before Circuit Judge Morrow, charged- with embezzlement. According to the an nouncement, would the firm be ex pected to sell silverware? This question was raised by Alex C. Rae. expert accountant, who was re ceiver for the defunct company at one time, in his testimony yes terday. He pointed to a bill among the records of the company from M. Seller & Co. for pearl-handled fruit knives, salad forks, silver knives, forks and spoons, tea-trays and a clock, to taling $103. It was entered, according to Mr. Rae, as though it were a por tion of the regular stock of the com pany. "H Thorough search of 'the sales ac counts showed no record of the sale of such articles, and Mr. Rae said that the defendant admitted to him that he had taken the silverware and other things to his house for personal use. Capitalist's Daughter Pajron. A transaction into which the probe was put at the trial yesterday was an account with Mrs. Henry McCall, of Prineville, daughter of Thomas W. Lawson, the capitalist. In payment, Mrs. McCall mailed to Mr. Taylor a check for $443.60, which it was alleged Mr. Taylor placed to his personal bank account. A cash entry in the books concerning this account is said to have showed a knife erasure, and $173 was entered up as returned goods, when it is asserted that none of the goods were returned. Another, transaction into which the prosecution intends to dig is the pur chase of an automobile from E. E. Ger linger. A firm's note was given in partial payment, it is asserted, and Mr. Gerlinger was credited with $411 on the company's books. This was mostly eliminated by a pretended return, ac cuses the prosecution, of a chair, bed spring, bed and other furniture and the entry of $151 for "advertising." Mr. Gerlinger is said to be ready to testify that no goods were returned and no advertising furnished. Acconntunt Twits Attorney. Accountant Rae and Attorney John Manning, who represents Taylor, met in 'a corridor of the Courthouse yes terday during a recess of court. I haven't noticed much damning evidence yet," greeted Attorney Man ning. "I think the facts can speak for themselves. I can only give the facts: that's the difference between a lawyer and an accountant," retorted Mr. Rae. W. B. Shively and Deputy District Attorneys Collier and Hindman are ap pearing for the state; John Planning and. Attorneys Barge & Leonard for the defense.

WIFE TIRES OF FARM WORK Mrs. Minnie Maronay Says She Had to Help Clear Land. OREGON CITY, Or., March 28. (Spe cial.) Mrs. Minnie Maronay today filed a suit for divorce in the Clackamas County Circuit Court against George C. Maronay, a well-to-do farmer of the Sandy district, making - the general charge of cruel and inhuman treat ment. They were married May 28, 1895, at Burlington, Wash., and have four children. Mrs. Maronay declares her husband has forced her to clear land, help with harvesting the crops and to do other manual work, on the farm. In 1910, she says, her' husband opened a log ging camp at Kelso, Wash., and ,she was forced to cook for 15 men. She asks for one-half interest in their property, one tract of which, ac cording to the complaint, is valued at" $20,000. EH l ' km i if -;: y ra I vC V- - xZX. mm W- ' - XCV j M if. , . jf xNv.

Reversing the Judgment of Circuit Judge Campbell, of Clackamas County, the Oregon Supreme Court today de clared invalid the divorce obtained by T. O. Hague from Anna E. Hague. The opinion, written by Chief Justice Moore, automatically annuls the marriage of Mr. Hague to Lizetta Blaeser. said t have taken place in Illinois shortly after the granting of the divorce in Clackamas County. Mr. Hague obtained a divorce in Judge Campbell's court on grounds of desertion after publication of summons, but the Supreme Court's decision holds the publication to have been insuffi cient and also that the plaintiff was the one guilty of desertion. The llagues were married in New Tork in 1868, the opinion-.recites, of which union were born nine children.
