THE MORNING OREGONIATT, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1916. HARRY C. MOWREY ooooooooooooooooooooooeo ooooooooooeooosoooooooooooooooooooooooo CiaiBllllllBg3BIKIBSIBBllllllflBIIIBaSllllltBBlllar4 til IS FOUND CPV GERTRUDE I. CORBETT in JJ III ft T T TTT 1 1 1 I I I I I Ideas of Persecution Are Not Shaken and Physicians De cide Mind Wanders. BRIBERY CHARGES MADE Effort to Railroad Patient to Asy lum and Use of $5000 to Get Object Asserted From Stand. Commitment Waits. Harry C. Mowray was adjudged in sane by an examining board of physi cians and ordered committed to an asylum by County Judge Cleeton yes terday at the conclusion of a four-day sanity hearing:. A clear mind and accurate memory were shown by the patient in many matters, but he had fixed delusions of persecution by his brothers and John P. Miller, who defeated him in the contest for presidency of the East Side Mill & Lumber Company. These Ideas became an obsession, until he was taken Into custody last June for an examination Into his sanity. He was found Insane, Mowrey pro tested that he was being railroaded to the asylum, and demanded an attorney. Judge Cleeton did not sign the commit ment papers, and allowed Mowrey to get an attorney. Meanwhile he told the man that he wanted some time to elapse before a further hearing In the hope that Mowrey would lose his agitation over supposed injuries and return to a normal mental state. Attorney Are Detested. Mowrey did not let matters rest, but wrote many threatening letters, en gaged Attorney C. M. Idleman, abused him for not waiving cases before the Supreme Court to take up the sanity hearing last Monday, and engaged At torney George I. Brooks. The hearing began Tuesday, with Mowrey's broth ers, Joseph and Morris, represented by Attorney IT. M. Esterly. On the grill yesterday. Mowrey said that he hated Attorney Esterly for his part In the case, that he hated At torney Idleman, hated his family, ani hated, most of all. Mr. Miller, whom he accused of being a party to an at tempt to send him to an asylum. For almost the first time in the hearing his testimony took on the light of ir rationality as he discussed his dealings with Mr. Idleman, and reasons for charging wholesale bribery of court and physicians. Bribery Charged fcy Patient. Mr. Miller, said Mowrey, had given $5000 to send him to the asylum. When he was found insane last June, this money was divided in this manner, he alleged: $1000 to County Judge Cleeton; $1000 to Probation Officer Harry Bul ger; $1000 to Deputy Sheriff Roy Ward; $1000 to Dr. J. F. Calbreath; and $1000 to Dr. S. E. Josephi. He was sorry to make these accusations, he said, but the matter seemed clear to him. He could prove that Mr. Miller contributed the money, he said, and It was simple deduction to determine how it was dis tributed. "Just how could you prove that Mr. Miller contributed this bribe money?" asked Dr. "Josephi. "Miller told a friend that he would give $5000 to keep me out of the asylum." answered Mowrey. "To keep you out?" Detectives Employed to learn Plot. "Yes; but don't yon suppose I know it was really to put me in, that he meant?" Mowrey went on to explain how he had hired detectives to un earth the plot against him, and how one had heard Mr. Miller say he was going to "get" Mowrey. So he con cluded that the $5000 had been given. "And why did you think Judge Clee ton, myself. Dr. Calbreath and the officers were given $1000 each?" per sisted Dr. Josephi. "Why it was only reasonable to sup pose but I hope I was mistaken. I don't like to think it of you, gentle men." After a lengthy consultation, the physicians yesterday came to the unanimous conclusion that Mowrey was a paranoiac, the dangerous type of insane which at a high stage com mit unexpected murders. "You can't put me in Jail." protested Mowrey. He was released by Judge Cleeton in the custody of his attorney until arrangements are made to com mit him to a private sanitarium or to the State Hospital at Salem. The examining physicians were Drs. S. E. Josephi, J. F. Calbreath and A. J. Giesy. The brothers of the man disclaimed any desire to make away with Mowrey. They said their interest was his In terest, that they thought his condition was due to overwork, and' that he should be placed where he could be treated.

Style Tips From Portland Stores THIS year the shops' buyers seem to realize as they never have before that the young girl has a place In fashlondom that is uniquely her own. They have made better preparation for their schoolgirl shoppers now than for many a season, and it would seem as if the girl were coming Into her own as a real girl in the shops at least. For merly It wasn't a bit unusual for the saleswoman to tog a young girl out In suit, coat or dress that was well suited to the matron of 40. The poor young sters should really appreciate the won derful styles that are awaiting their approval in the shops. There are really as many styles Just for the young girl as for the grown woman. Girlish suits with straight and flar ing lines, with Jackets that are like the boys' coats and ever so many pock ets and novelty features, will throw the maiden Into ecstacies of delight. There are a number of English-looking mixture Norfolk or near-Norfolk suits with patch pockets and attractive heavy satin linings. . The navy blue serge belted models are about the most popular girls' suits. In the serges there are several regular Norfolks, with the regulation pleats and belts and with full circular gored skirts. Pockets on both the skirt and coat are handy. Some of the girls' blue and brown serge suits have collars that may button up clear under the cbln or lie down; braid edgings and ooooooooooooooooooo novelty belts. The peplums invariably flare and are longer than those of last season. Dark brown, green or blue and black checks in rather plain belted box suits are attractive and adapted to the young girl's figure. But then, there are many other types of distinct ly girls' suits this Autumn. The girls dresses are certainly fine. Plain materials, plaids, silk and braid trimmed models are all smart and girl ish. The Peter Thompson Is very popu lar with the girls of high school age and majr be had in several colors, red and white trimmed. The Empire frocks with wide gathered skirts and pockets and white collars and cuffs are well suited to the young girl. Double- skirted, pleated affairs of Scotch plaid are also shown. Then there are Puritan frocks, plain little ones with fichus and cuffs of white. The little lady s party frocks. Just fluffy simple little ones for high school and boarding-school parties, are almost flowerlike. Full little gathered skirts, all draped over with chiffon and ma line, and round-necked or Dutch blouses with wee rosebud trimmings or bows and ruffles of lace, are dainty enough for the most fastidious maiden. Marian Miller f ANSWERS YESTERDAY afternoon, when the sun was shining Its warmest, a worried, wrinkled. Irritable woman was walking down Alder street leading her small son, aged about 4. Every few steps she gave the poor youngster a yank and said: "Shut up, I tell you." Whereat the child, who had been whimpering, cried louder and answered: "But, Ma, I'm tired and hot. I want a drink and I'm hungry, too." All ho got was "Hush up!" And they were clean and, well dressed and she should have known . better. But I suppose she was tired and hot and had worked hard all morning and didn't have sense enough to take time to eat her lunch. If she had taken that tired little lad into a tearoom and had had a nice little ice cream party with him, how happy those two could have been together. So many mothers are missing the best thing In all the world when they miss the comradeship of their children. A young mother who has the right system will never get fretful. The business or professional man who is a father and has no time to get ac quainted with his sons and daughters is missing a greater Joy than can be found anywhere else in the world. The boy or girl who gets the right start at home rarely goes astray or is a failure in life. A girl of 21 years wants to know If she should obey her mother. I should say yes. as a general rule. But if mother and daughter talk things over sanely and in friendly fashion, there should be no necessity for quarreling over who "is boss." Teach the girls and boys to reason; to search their own consciences; to be able to take advice, and then to make the right decision. I PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 15. Dear Marian Miller: I am seeking you for Information. Please tell me cjin person re-marry in Oregon before the six months expire? If not, can they go Into Washington and marry and return to live In Portland? Is there any punishment for breaking this law? KITTY SNOW. Tou cannot remarry after a divorce for six months in either Oregon or Washington. If you go to Washington your marriage will be null and void. - CAXBT Or.. Sent. 14. Dear Marian Mil ler: I am a Young girl of 16. Please tell me how I should wear my hair. Is It style to have a braid hanging down tne oacK. A. ever your friend. M. E. il. A braid hanging down the back is always right, but many of the young girls of your age are wearing a soft coil pinned low at the back of the neck. Take a nana mirror and iook at your reflection in the glass and you will be able to decide which is becom ing. If you gather part of the hair at the top on the head and fasten It with a barrette and then braid or coil the effect Is often pretty. The hair should be done simply, should always be clean and tidy and the result will be charming. V ARLINGTON'. Or.. SeDt. 13. Dear Mar lan Miller: I am a young fellow and love a woman 10 years older than I am. Shall I marrv her? Will age finally make a dlf ference? I don't think so, but my folks say It will. Yours truly. COUNTRY BOY. Tou are taking a chance unless your love is founded on a fine friendship. If she whom you love is intellectually your companion. It will be all right. Or if she Is a good manager, interest lng, capable and has personal fascina tion she may have the power and the wisdom to hold your love where a younger, inexperienced girl might lose you. The trouble with these questions Is that there is no iron-clad rule. Much depends upon the individual. Answer these questions for yourself: "Am I fickle? Would I be true to this woman?" MARIAN MILLER. Favorite Recipes Of Oregon Women OVERT hostess wants to be original Hi and yet every hostess knows that tea or ice cream and cake are always acceptable refrshements to serve.
