her affidavits that five Chinese women
who would have testified in her be
half were prevented by other Chinese

Mrs. Seung declares that two of her
stepdaughters, Mabel and Kmma. dis
liked her from the start. At the hear
ing of the insanity commission
Wednesday. the two stepdaughters
testified as witnesses against their
stepmother. One of them also acted
as interpreter.
In her affidavit, Mrs. Seung declares
that she did not know why she was
there or what the hearing meant.
The complaint charging Mrs. Seung
with insanity was sworn to by Jane

among local Chinese. When she learned
Wednesday night that she had been
ordered committed to the Northern
Hospital for the Insane at Kedro Wool
ley and that deportation to China
would follow, she notified her friends,

Mast Setting". .Music by Orchestra and
Costumes Add Murk to Well
Acted Production.
Shakespeare hung out the "S. R. O.
signs at Washington High School
Wednesday and last night. "Mldsum
mer Night's Dream." presented by the
June, lb, class, pleased the huge audi
t-nce oeonu an expectations. It more
than sustained the high standard pre
vlous productions by senior classes had
set.
On a stage set with real greensward
real trees, real woods flowers, and real
fountains, Theseus. Lysander, Dimet-
rius. tiermia. Helena. Aberion. Puck
and Nick Bottom, and all the other
nobles and fairies and hard-handed
men of Athens, whom Shakespeare has
mingled in this fantastical, poetical
comedy, disported themselves in true
Lfizabethan style.
Under the skillful direction of Don
F. Orput the members of the cast have
entered into the spirit of the play and
after weeks of rehearsing' their efforts
were rewarded by success. Their read
ing of the lines was good, and their
observance of the stage traditions
which cluster about the play, added
much to the enjoyment. They acted
and sustained the Illusion unusually
well.
The comedy element furnishe'd by
Quince, the carpenter, and his troup of
rustic thespians in their production of
the "mirthful tragedy" of "Pyranus
and Thisbe" sent the audience into an
uproarious tumult of laughter. One
of the most pleasing features was the
playing of selections from Mendels
sohn's "Midsummer Night's Dream"
music by the Washington High School
orchestra, under the direction of Har
old Bayley. The sweet strains of the
wedding march and the light move
ments of the fairy dances aided the air
of enchantment and fantasy that per
vades the lines.
Adding to the beauty was a set of ex
quisite costumes. All in all, Washing
ton High has made a delightful con
tribution to the festivities in honor of
the tercentenary of Shakespeare's
death.

the line of safeguarding individual

part that the American Nation is to
assume in the world's affairs, following
the close of the European war.

In order to attain that leadership we

from meddling in that which does not
concern us, but We muslf regain and

office upon receipt today of a request
from Mrs. Buland.
After citing a decision of the Oregon
Supreme Court, in which it was held
that a wife may acquire a separate
domicile from her husband, the Attorney-General's
office said, in part:
"Under these statements of our Su
preme Court it could be said that Mrs.
Buland may have acquired a separate
domicile or residence .from her hus
band, but under the facts stated it does
not appear that she has done so, but
rather that the' residence of both hus
band and wife is at 606 Maple street,
Portland. Or. The fact that her hus
band holds & municipal office at Castle
Rock. Wash., is not of Itself sufficient
evidence, if any evidence at all, that
his residence is at that place.
"There is evidence strongly to the
effect rhat he is a resident of Port
land. Even if he is not, his wife is
a resident of said city and, therefore,
eligible to the office she seeks. She Is
not only a citizen of the United States,
but a resident of the state for the re
quired time, and presumably above the
age of 21 years." i

Stockholders! to Lose Capital, but Are
Pleased With Promise of Cash for
Their Prodnct Ilercafter.
NEWBERG, Or., April 20. (Special.)
A deal whereby the growers of fruit
and vegetables of this district expect
to reap much advantage was negotiated
today in tKe sale of the Newberg Can
nery to A. Rupert &. Co., of Portland,
and J. W. Chambers,- ot Newberg, for
14..10. .
The .wberg Cannery Association,
the seller, has been a co-operative com
pany for years and includes 353 stock
holders, none of whom will get any of
the money from the sale of the plant.
The $14. -110 Is all to go to pay the
debts of the association, which has
been ' in the hands of a trustee for
soitie time following disagreements
among the stockholders. The stock
holders had paid in $8800 in cash.fcsk
the plant, but are apparently glad to
be able to let go now.
The new owners, it is said, will buy
modern machinery for the plant and
will pay cash for fruit and vegetables.
Heretofore the growers, who were also
the stockholders, had been compelled to
wait until the canned product was mar
keted before getting their money and
some years the return has only been 60
per cent of the open market price.
J. W. Chambers, one of the buyers,
has been the manager of the plant for
the last two years. s
