Author of Famous Pamphlet Repeats
Accusations Against Judge Rice
and Mentions Other AI
7 leged Wrongdoings.
CHEHALIS, Wash., June 28. (Spe
cial.) J. E. Willis, Chehalis attorney,
was ordered disbarred from practice
for one Tear by Superior Judge P. K.
fculllvan, of Spokane, at the conclusion
of the disbarment proceeding- here late
tonight.
BY SHAD O. KRANTZ.
CHEHALIS. Wash, June 28. (Spe
cial.) For six hours J. E. Willis stood
before Judge Sullivan in the Superior
Court here today and forensically ap
pealed for the continued privilege of
practicing law in this state.
Mr. Willis is the pioneer attorney
whose professional associates are seek
ing to disbar him. For the last three
days they have been presenting both
evidence and argument to the court in
eupport- of their contentions that Mr.
.Willis is an unfit person to practice
law. Their case grows out of the re
cent publication and circulation by Mr.
Willis of & pamphlet entitled. "The
Crimes and Misdemeanors of Hon.
Aionzo E. Rice." Mr. Rice Is the Su
perior Judge of Lewis County and has
held that office for the last 16 years.
He will be a candidate for re-election
next Fall.
t t Willis Admits Anthorishlp.
Mr. Willis does not deny the author
ship of the pamphlet, but he insists that
neither its title nor its contents con
stitutes an undue reflection on Judge
Rice. Throughout his long and dra
matic argument today Mr. Willis re
ferred repeatedly to the records of the
County Auditor's office and to the rec
ords of Judge Rice's own office to sub
stantiate his allegations that Judge
Rice has been guilty of gross irregular
ities. '
To a person who is not an attorney
the proceedings would seem to indicate
that Mr. Willis and his accusers are not
arguing on the same point at alL -
The Lewis County Bar Association
are the accusers of Mr. Willis. C. H.
Forney and C. D. Cunningham are ac
tively handling the case. What they
are trying to do, apparently, is to bring
Mr. "Willis face to face with the charges -made
in his pamphlet. Among other
things he implied, at least, if he did
not directly charge, that Judge Rice
was guilty of grand and petit larceny,
malfeasance and graft. He charged a
lot of other doings, too, but the fore
going specifications are enough, for
present purposes.
Defendant Evades Issues.
The Bar Association charges Mr.
Willis with unbecoming statements
reflecting on the Supreme Court of the
state and with a disturbance of Judge
Rice's own court by distributing some
of his pamphlets while court was in
session.
But Mr. Willis did not seem to stick
very closely to these issues oday. He
talked about many other subjects,
though, from the glorious deeds per
formed by the Grand Army veterans,
some of whom were in the courtroom,
to the odoriferous offensiveness of the
little animal commonly called the
skunk, which was referred to in his
pamphlets.
Mr. Willis, moreover, directed his ad
dress yes, it was' an address, and a
good one, rather than an argument to
the court principally o some minor
Accusation that he had ' made against
Judge Rice.
For instance, he declared that Judge
Rice had violated the oath of his of
fice by certifying to the payment of
meals for the County Commissioners
when they werenot entitled to meals.
Vouchers Are Gone Over.
He produced great bundles .of re
turned vouchers secured from the Coun
ty Auditor's office, showing that meals
had been paid for, under Judge Rice's
O. K., while the Commissioners were
transacting business in Chehalis, the
county seat.
At yesterday's session County Auditor
Montford had testified that the Com
missioners had agreed to accept pay
ment for their meals in lieu of mileage,
which they are allowed by law. But
Mr. Willis today sprung the vouchers
to show that they had accepted both
mileage and meals, and with the evi
dent approval of Judge Rice.
While this line of argument, as has
been said before, was not very close
ly related to the main issues of whether
or not Mr. Willis should be disbarred,
it furnished the crowds that packed the
courtroom with some choice food for
reflection and comment.
It seems that the employment of
Mrs. Rice in her husband s court has
not set very well with the people of
l.wl3 county lor the last decade, or
however long it is that she has been
employed. The Rices are people of
more or less prominence in the com
inunity, both on account of Judsre
Rice's official position and on account
of other connections that he has
formed. He is director of a bank, for
instance.
Because judge and Mrs. Rice are so
prominent no one, heretofore, has
dared to say anything on this subject,
although a good many people have
wanted to do so. But now comes
along a pioneer attorney 65 years old
and has the audacity not only to print
these particulars in a pamphlet over
his own signature, but to shout them
from the house-tops, as it were, by
acclaiming them in open court. The
packed benches listene-d to these dec
larations today with evident satlsfac
tion and amusement.
Opening; Statement Severe.
But the trouble is that Mr. Wilis
did not stop there when he started
printing things about Judge Rice: no
he didn't even start there. He started
his pamphlet with this opening -state
ment:
"It is my purpose herein to accuse
Alonzo E. Rice, Superior Judge of
Lewis County, of crimes and misde
meanors, which, if proved true, should
commit him to prison for the remarinder
of his life and render him an abject
bankrupt." V
Along a little further he says:
"In accusing Judge Rice of other
crimes, 1 must be very particular to
point out that if I am untruthful Judge
Rice will have : me arrested and
punished lor criminal libel and I am
frank to admit that he -should do so."
In court today he repeated, over and
over again, that he has no apologies
to make nor any retractions to offer
for - any statement contained in the
booklet, yet he insisted Just as firmly
and Just as often that he did not intend
to cast any undue sinister reflections
. on the judge or his court.
Mr. Forney closed for the complain
, ants tonight, severely arraigning Mr.

ANJCETTE KTELLERMAX, she of the
feminine form divine and won
drous aquatic deeds, greeted Ma
jestic Theater patrons yesterday in
"Neptune's Daughter," the big seven-act
Universal feature which inaugurated
the regime of the aquatic spectacle
phantasy. While the film is pre-eminently Kel
lerman, all of the action centering
about this -world-famed swimmer and
diver, yet her grace is bulwarked by
magnificent ecenic effects, contributed
by the art of Herbert Brenon, the di
rector of the soon-to-be "Daughter of
the Gods." the William Fox-Kellerman
master-picture, and the wonderful
scenery of Bermuda, where the picture
was filmed.
Miss Kellerman is presented in two
guises, that of a mortal and as a mer
maid, Neptune's daughter. It is not
until she is enabled to wriggle from
her scaly appendage that signifies the
water maid that she introduces the art
which made her famous, that of sensa
tional diving.
As Annette, daughter of Ieptune. An
nette is happy with her little sister
and other companions, but mortals
wreck her happiness by causing the
death of her eister, and then the girl
swears vengeance. So she secures from
witch, ensconced in the depths or
mysterious grottoes, a. shell of won
drous properties. She rubs the shell
and, behold, no longer is she a mer
maid, but a mortal. Ab such sne sud
dues the king, who is the handsome
William Shay in everyday life, and thus
has the opportunity to avenge herself
by fulfilling her -vow to kill the ruler.
Courtier life, with a conspiracy against
the king, afford further material lor
the unraveling of a delightful fairy
story.

a
T & t.
Is that terrific" fight between William
Farnum and Thomas Santschi, which
features "The Spoilers," a product of
photo-dramatic art, pure and simple,
or is it a real fight?
The Selig-press agent, the man on the
inside, says that the scrap was a real
one, the result of Ill-feeling between
the two principals. Here ia his story:
"Santschi, the Selig leading man, was
a trifle piqued when he was given the.
role of McNamara. the villain, instead
of Glenister, the hero, in the filming of
'The Spoilers.' The men got along
fairly well together, but when it came
to their fight their enmity was such
that they held off and five, rehearsals
proved failures.
"Fihaly, they were called to one side
and told to stage a real battle. They
went at each other with such ferocity
that it was evident "that the men were
in earnest. , They fought on until it
seemed as if both must drop, until Far
num at last secured his famous ham
merlock hold and actually broke his
opponent's arm. Santschi was in the
hospital for two weeks after that fight,
while Farnum was bruised and sore
and had to take a prolonged rest be
fore the rest of the picture could be
taken."
You may or may not believe this tale,
but in any event the scrap is and al
ways has been the big outstanding fea
ture of "The Spoilers." The fight
stands , today as the criterion for all
motion-picture melees, and grips au
diences at the T & D Theater today as
It did when the original edition was
exhibited.
Columbia.
William H. Thompson, who achieved
distinction in his characterization of a
canny old Scot in "Peggy." and Charles
Ray. one of the most promising of the
youthful Triangle stars, are featured in
"The Pividend," a strong story of the
woes resulting from uncompromising
pursuit of wealth. "Bubbles of Trouble,"
a Harry McCoy-Peggy Pearce Keystone
comedy, which derives its action from
McCoy's attempts to enter the ranks
of heroes, is another feature.
"The Dividend" is a story of a strong
man s struggle for wealth, his success
ful effort to secure a big dividend for
his stockholders. The goal is achieved,
but the real dividend is the ruin and
death of his son, whom he has neg
lected and permitted to sink to the
depths.
Plckford.
Ethel Clayton and Carlyle Blackwell,
photo-dramatic favorites, appear as
headllners on the Plckford Theater pro
gramme today in "His Brother's Wife,"
a story dealing with another phase
of the "eternal triangle." The Selig
Tribune news pictorial will be another
feature.
A woman's supreme effort to save
her husband from death and her child
from want is the keynote of "His
Brother's Wife." The action is misun
derstood and rejected, until finally
fully explained by the husband's broth
er, who entertains the wife while ig
norant of her Identity. The brother
makes full reparation for his advances
and leaves the country rather than cast
a shadow of doubt over the happy lit
tle family he has unconsciously dis
rupted. The story is said to be particularly
strong in dramatic climaxes and fully
up to the Brady-made standard of
World features.

"The Clown." a photo-drama written
expressly for Victor Moore, star of
"Chimroie Fadden Out West" and other

The story is said to be one of par
ticularly strong appeal, with a finish
decidedly apart from the hackneyed.
It deals with Piffle, a clown in a small
circus, who is injured in saving the
life of a little cripple. Thus he enters
the life of persons in a social station
above him. He marries the daughter
of his benefactor to save her from
disgrace. Later it develops that the
man in ' the case is not dead and the
clown's sacrifice is one which endears
him to all.

CULVER, Or., June 26. (Staff Cor
respondence.) When the machinery of
the new county of Jefferson was set in
motion in the Spring of 1916, Culver
was selected by the newly-appointed
County Court as the temporary county
seat, the permanent seat of trovera-
ment to come up at the election this
x an. teauy the Question is the ab
sorDmg one here now, with election
day over four months ahead. Madras
and Metollus are the contending towns
seeking the honor, while Culver is play
ing a waiting game, hoping that neith
er ox iae otner towns can get a major
ity or the votes cast. In such case
t-uiver would hold on two years more,
j-i is not for me to make a guess as to
une outcome In November. Anyhow.
am not Interested further than to hope
mat the decision of the voters will be
for the best interests of the county.
jeuerson was formed from the terri
tory in the northwestern corner of
Crook. It is not a large countv. havlnsr
an area of about 1812 square miles, be
ing approximately the size of Wheeler
and of Clackamas. As to area. Crook
will not miss It much, for that county
still has 6966 square miles. The worst
blow to Crook was the Inclusion in the
new county of far more than half of the
railway property. That, added to the
otner taxable property in the county,
gives jeiterson a valuation of 11,979.
513.62.
County's Taxes Low.
So the taxes in the county are low
and there is no debt hanging over it.
et, there was a large initial expense
incurred in fitting up the Jail and
courthouse, the buildings being -provid
ed by the town of Culver, transcribing
the records and purchasing supplies
for the various officials. It is safe to
say that no new county in Oreeron eve
started under brighter conditions than
Jefferson; it seems likewise true that
much of this is due to the intelligent
and conscientious actions of the county
oiriciais.
Going back to the area of the county.
it snouia De said that 360 square mile
of Jefferson lie in the Warm Spring
Indian Reservation and 250 miles in
the Forest reserve. But Jefferson ha
a vast area of good dry-farming land
wnicn no aoubt some day will be under
one or more of the irrigation scheme
now agitating the people. If thes
schemes should Jjecome realities Jeffer
son will be one of the very, prosperous
counties of Oregon. Ad it does not
seem that both the North Unit schem
and the Suttle Lake project can remain
many years as matters of mere talk.
It Is true they are both expensiv
propositions, but very feasible, and
cover land that would bear a heavy tax
per acre for water.
Culver Is the heaviest grain-market
lng point In the county by far. I was
told that the grain shipments f rom Cen
tral Oregon were more than half billed
from Culver. That is not to be doubted
when one remembers that the splendid
La Mont a section to the east, the
Grizzly section to the southeast, both
of which cover as good land as there
is in Western Crook or Eastern Jeffer
son, ship from here, not mentioning
the large area of fine land on the Opal
prairie and immediately, around Culver.
In addition to this, Culver is the rail
road point for a large area of fine
country west of the Deschutes and
Crooked Rivers and the lower penin
sula between those rivers. In fact, the
people of those sections would have to
travel practically through Culver if
they went to any other market.
Bumper Crop In Prospect.
Never, perhaps, in the history" of Ore
gon did the dry lands of old Crook look
as fine as they do today. Surely the
people have the right to look forward
to bumper crops. From the best infor
mation I can gather, the heavy rains
of late have spread all over old
Crook and the soil is wet down to the
former water level. This promises to
be the banner year for Central Oregon.
Culver is a town that was never
backed by ample money. The success
of the people in building up the little
city has been due to strategy, finesse
and fairness. They have always kept
their town clean, never had a saloon,
save a blind pig which lasted about 20
minutes, have fulfilled their every
promise and obligation, and meanwhile
have relied upon what they thought
was their strategical location. Hence
the town, is growing nicely, there is
not a vacant building in or near the
city limits, a large two-story and base
ment brick hotel, size 67x100 feet, is
going up, with funds to finish it, and,
as the greatest of all their enterprises,
they are drawing to a close a splendid
water, system which will supply the
town and furnish domestic and garden
irrigation water to a. great many adja
cent farmers.
To go fully into this would take too
much space. T can only say that the
8-inch main from the reservoir four
and one-half miles to the west, on the
banks of Crooked River, into and
through town, have been practically all
laid, the big reservoir is completed and
the pumps have been installed with
more than enough water-users signed
up to make the plant pay from the day
of Its opening, probably & month from
now. This enterprise is one of the fin
est ever undertaken in Oregon and is
the forerunner of a system that will
revolutionize the lives and fortunes of
hundreds and hundreds of dry-land
farmers in the interior of the state.
Citizenship Is Praised.
Very early in the history of Culver
there was a fine school building and a
nice little church erected here. The
former is one of the most conspicuous
and beautiful structures on this whole
prairie, and a good school always has
been maintained. Every Sunday there
is Sunday school and preaching in- the
church, and both services are well at
tended. I mention this, as I noted the
"lack" of saloons, to show the Culver
people in their true light. Very few
towns in Oregon of this size have as
good a class of citizens as Culver has.
Culver has very good stores. One
of them, a place where general sup
plies are kept, is a very nice establish
ment, the stock being exceptionally
well displayed. The KIngsley Mercan
tile Company owns it. Earl Klngsley
is the manager. There are other good
stocks and good business houses. I
mention the name or Kingsley for the
reason that the place is more like a
store in a large city than in a small
place like Culver. There is an indus
try in Culver that should be mentioned
and encouraged, a cigar factory run by
B. J. Leakas. He makes a fine "jitney"
cigar, one of the best you ever smoked.
It is said his better smokes are equally
attractive.-

out a good paper, is making money and!
rides around in his seven-passenger

and has the edge on about 250 news

While there is not a large "modern

stopping place for the weary or hun

one need pass Culver, thinking it lacks
hotel accommodations, for this place
is well kept in every way.
I did not mention the name of the
owner of the hotel now building. He
is a citizen of Culver. J. C. Wyman.
There are to be a few storerooms on
the ground floor of this structure, one
of which is designTO for a bank. And
let me suggest that any person with a
few thousand dollars and a Httle bank
ing experience can find at Culver one
of the very best openings for business
that I know of. The county funds are
now sent away and the merchants and
others do business in various places. It
seems that a bank there could build
up a deposit of over $50,000 in short
order. I told Mr. Wyman. the owner
of the new building, that I would try
and get him & banker tenant this
