PORTLAND FAILS TO
ATTRACT RICH PAIR
Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Dick Shut
Themselves in Compart

Astor, a. Titanio Victim.
If life of the idle rich is uninterest
ing and their elusive pursuit of tem
poral happiness so unproductive as it is
said to be, we may now know why
they pass up so many of the interest
ins things at hand.
Mrs. Madeline Force Astor-Dick,
widow of the late Colonel John Jacob
Astor. victim of the Titanic disaster,
accompanied by her 28-year-old hus
band, w. K. Dick, Is the latest exponent
of the widely traveled but little enter
tained cult, namely the wealthy, aristo
cratic tourist.
Mrs. Astor pick and her husband
passed through Portland yesterday in
the pursuit of diversion and a honey
moon which began June 23, and appar
ently they were oblivious to the fact
that within a stone's throw lay the
grandeur of the Columbia River High
way, to see which hundreds of notables
have spent their vacation periods and
which hundreds of globe trotters have
pronounced the most wonderful in the
New World; not excelled by the scenic
grandeur o Switzerland.
Reporters fVot Admitted.
Mrs. Dick, who will always be re
membered as the youthful bride and
widow of Mr. Astor, who on renewing
an early love last month married Will
iam K. Dick, Brooklyn, N. Y., manufac
turer and newspaper owner, and gave
up some of the Astor millions thereby.
arrived in Portland " on the Shasta
Limited yesterday.
For 15 stuffy minutes they sat clos
eted in their stateroom on a regular
Pullman and saw no one; advised. the
newspaper reporters they didn't wish to
he interviewed and departed at 2:10
o'clock en route to Seattle. Today they
will give Seattle shrift almost as short
s that accorded Portland and will be
on their way to Lake Louise and by
way of the Canadian Pacific pursue
their way home to New York or Bar
Harbor or wherever they please to call
home.
Silence Is Maintained.
Mr. and Mrs. Dick have been in Cal
fornia most of the time in a cottage
somewhere near Santa Barbara a cot
tage almost identical with "hundreds of
others on the California sea coast. In
San Francisco they dallied a few hours
going and coming and dodged newspa
per reporters and would-be entertain
ers. The beauty of the Columbia River
Highway is not yet platitudinous to
Oraw their homage, apparently.
Mr. Dick's ultimatum to the reporters
at cities big and little alike is: "We
don't wish to be interviewed," and the
duo maintain their stoical silencn sn
far as utterance for the public is con
cerned.
Mr. and Mrs. Dick were married June
22. and when the knot was tied Mrs.
Dick iost her income of $5,000,000, be
queathed in the will of Colonel Astor.
But Mr. Dick is worth $3,000,000 to
$5,000,000 in his own right and Mrs.
Dick has a few millions in her own
right, for, as a prenuptial agreement
when she, a girl of 18. wed Mr. Astor,
who was 4 i, he settled upon her $8,000,
00(1 or thereabouts. That was in 1911
Mr. Dick is part owner of the Brook
lyn Times and is vice-president of the
Manufacturers Trust Company.

The separation of church and state

anti-Catholics. Some of the proposals
of the anti-Catholics, however, were
rejected by the platform committee.
The committee voted down a mo
tion by Mr. Chafin that a plank favor-

attempt to have the adequate defense

The secret order of juvenile auto
banditti, who have stolen and damaged
lose to a score of cars in wild rides
during the past month, suffered the
Joss of seven members early yester
day morning:, when the police arrested
them in the act. The apprehension of
the seven is believed to have broken
the malicious organization.
The eldest ovf the seven were arrested
by Patrolman H. V. Wrigrht. just as
they were driving away with the auto
of Albert Dobner, 452 East Market
street, which had been parked nea
the Hippodrome Theater. The machin
had traveled scarcely 75 feet when
the officer, who had been watching: the
eiiispicious actions of a bevy of boys,
sprang upon the running: board and
placed Howard Simpson, 19 years old
and Lawrence Oberer, 13 years old,
under arrest for larceny.
Just before dawn yesterday. Patrol
man A. t. Long made the second cap
ture, at Tventy-thir4 and Washing:

Ing employe, and Darren McGee, 15
years old.
As Patrolman Long; halted the' car
and made the arrest, another car halted
a few blocks away. In it were Leste
Redecker and Melvin Clay, 17 and 1
years old. of 409 Broadway, and
Clifford Emerson. lt years old, a de
livery boy of Bertha Station. They
were using: the car stolen from Fred
P. Gram, of 329 East Thirty-ninth
street, and the arrest of their friends
ahead caused Redecker and Clay such
concern that they deserted the car and
fled to their home. All were arrested
, later. Some of the boys have been
turned over to the Juvenile Court.
KELP INDUSTRY IN PERIL
MUKITION'S BILL REGARDED AS SE
RIOUS MENACE.
California, With 20OO Men on Potash

ment to Kill Measure.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20. (Special.)
In an effort to protect aft infant in
dustry of California, the production of
potash from kelp, George H. Markell,
secretary-treasurer of the ilercuies
Powder Company, of Wilmington, Dela
ware, today opened a campaign of edu
cation in San Kranclsco concerning
what is commonly called the munitions
bill which was recently passed by the
House of Representatives.
Provisions of the munitions Dili,
which yet must pass the Senate, are
for a special revenue tax on so-called
munitions manufactures, the tax run
ning as high as 8 per cent on the gross
sales of explosives.
The nassane of this hill by the sen
ate and the subsequent signing by the
President." said Mr. Markell tonight.
undoubtedly will mean the extinction
of the kelp potash Industry in the state
of California.
'Likewise it will seriously affect tne
wages of 20O0 employes of the company
in this state. The annual payroll of
the Hercules Powder Company in Cali
fornia is In excess of 2.ooo,uih.
The nassage of this bill can mean
nothing else than the closing of the
potash plant at San Ulego ana tne ces
sation of projecting or building other
plants In Northern caiirorma.

closed doors and at which the financial
affairs of Albany College, rather than
the proposed consolidation of the
schools, was the chief topic for discus

executive session considered the pro
posal to unite the colleges to the ex
tent that the appointment of a commit
tee from the Oregon Synod to confer
with a committee from the Oregon
conference of the Congregational
Church was authorized. This commit
tee will be appointed by the synod to
morrow. This action means that there will be
no merger of the schools for a year, as
this committee is to be named to re
port to the synod which holds its ses
sions annually. A pro re nata meeting
of the Oregon synod has not been held
In more than 15 years.
Representatives of the Congrega
tional Church in the city in connection
with the suggested union of the schools
were Invited to address the executive
meeting of the synod.

Worry Over Financial Affairs May

Death, It la SuBseefted.
EUGENE, Or., July 20. (Special.)
Mystery surrounds the death of Bert
Hall, a resident of tne River road, three
ilea west of Eugene, at the Melville
ranch near Coburg last night. Coro
ner Veatch said today he had not
reached a decision as to the cause of
Hall's death, but that there were cir
cumstances Indicating suicide.
Hall reached the ranch late yester
day. He was said to have been de
spondent. While the members of tne
Melville family were away from the
house looking after the affairs of the
farm Hall was alone. "When they re
turned to the house he was dead.
The theory that he had possibly-
ended his life by taking poison was
advanced, but according to Coroner
Veatch, there was no evidence to sub
stantiate it.
Hall had been worrying over his
financial affairs, and it is suggested
that his death might have resulted
from heart failure following excite
ment. To several persons he wss said
to have intimated that he might take
his life.
Hall is survived by his wife and sev
eral small children.

ticularly the farm women, the same
as the agricultural agent is now aid
ing the farmers of 1 Oregon counties,
may be located in an Oregon county

States Department of Agriculture have
advised Director R. D. HetzeL of the
Extension Service, that they are will
lng to appropriate enough money to
meet approximately one-half of the
cost of maintaining this agent in an
Oregon county if the county will take
care ot the balance.
There are now more than 300 women
county agents, most of whom are lo
cated in the Southern 'states.
"These county agent women now lo
cated in this country are devoting
themselves primarily to helping to
lighten the burden of the work which
falls to the women of the rural dis
tricts." said Director Hetzel. "While
a certain amount of attention is given
to the proper food and their prepara
tion. special stress at the present time
is being placed on the introduction of
labor-saving devices, the reorganiza

of running water, proper sewage dis
