OREGON
IS
WARNED
Representation at Waterways
Congress Is Urged. '
DELEGATES ARE SOUGHT
Appropriations for Xeeded Improve
ments May Meet With Adverse
Sentiment, Says President or
Commerce Chamber.
O. M. Clark, president of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce, started, out
yesterday to f ind ,a few Portland mem
bers of that organization wli were
desirous of representing this city at
the Rivers and Harbors Congress of
the United States. It is regarded as
of vital interest to Oregon to be rep
resented by strong men.
The appropriations for the Columbia
River improvements, Portland Harbor,
Astoria, Tillamook, the Umpqua. Coos
Bay and other projects will be directly
affected should adverse sentiment be
aroused to such an extent that Con
gress would be influenced. Mr. Clark
believes that these matters are of par
amount interest, and he is trying to
ascertain the names of Oregonians who
are likely to be in the vicinity of Wash
ington. D. G. December 6, 7 and 8.
If they are Portlanders and members
of the local Chamber of Commerce.
President Clark will commission them
to represent that organization. If they
are not members, he will ask the Gov
ernor to appoint them as state repre
sentatives. The Chamber has not received -jC-vices
as to what other harbor cities of
the state are doing to secure repre
sentation, but is in hopes that they
Willi send some of their members.
The sessions of the organization will
be held at the new Willard Hotel and
the programme carries the names of
some of the authorities of this country
on the subject to be discussed.
A warning has . been sent , out from
Washington to the effect that a vigor
ous war is to be made on all waterways
appropriations during the next Con
gress, and that it bids fair to be suc
cessful unless the plan is vigorously
opposed.

WILL FORGED, IS VIEW
Mrs. Dale's Former Neighbor
Is Volunteer Witness.
ALLEGED EFFORT RECITED
3frs. Mattie Crane Tells of Conver
sation With Aged Woman and
of Charges of Attempt to
Influence With Brink.
An unexDected witness one who said
she had read in the newspapers the
will contest and who volunteered her
testimony furnished a sensation in the
first day's hearing yesterday of the
side of the petitioner in the attempt of
Mrs. Nannie Mathews, of Pendleton, to
break the will of her mother, Anna E.
Dale.
An attempt to force Mrs. Dale to
leave them -the major share of the
$30,800 estate was charged against Mr.
and Mrs. David Tobias, of Seattle, by
Mrs. Mattie Crane, of San Francisco,' a
former neighbor of Mrs. Dale, who is
visiting In Portland. The Tobiases
were the chief beneficiaries under the
will probated. Mrs. Tobias is the daugh
ter of Mrs. Mathews, to whom was
allotted property valued at only $800.
Relffhbor Tells of Hearing Moans.
A striking instance of the alleged
mistreatment was an occurrence on
Christmas morning of 1912, saW Mrs.
Crane, who lived next door to Mrs. Dale
at that time in the house rented from
her.
"Soon after Mr. and Mrs. Tobias left
the house that morning I heard Mrs.
Dale moaning," testified Mrs. Crane.
She said that she went over to the
house and found the elderly lady, with
shoes off and partly dressed, in a cold
room, crying.
"They didn't get me that time." Is
what Mrs. Crane said Mrs. Dale was
moaning. The witness asserted that the
old lady had told her at that time that
Mr. Tobias had given her a glass of
dark, liquid to drink and that, when
she felt dazed under the effect of it,
he tried to induce her to sign a will
he had prepared.
Signature Refuted, Says Woman.
"I was too smart for them. I refused
to sign it," the witness testified Mrs.
Dale said. Mrs. Crane further asserted
that Mrs. Dale had told her that her
real will was hidden under the mat
tress of her bed and. that this will
left the property divided evenly be
tween daughter and granddaughter.
Mrs. Crane asserted that when she
commented upon the condition of Mrs.
Dale to Mrs. Tobias later that day
Mrs. Tobias dismissed the matter with
the assertion that her grandmother was
intoxicated.
The witness further related that Mrs.
Dale visited her granddaughter, Mrs.
Tobias, in Seattle, very unwillingly and
was glad to return to Portland.
Mrs. Mathews was also a witness
yesterday. She testified that it had
always been understood that the will
left the property to herself and daugh
ter in even share. The will which was
probated bequeathed valuable business
property to Mrs. Tobias and Helen To
bias, a great-granddaughter of the de
ceased.

TUTE FOR "HOBO" CAMP.
Development of Community Settle
ments In Government Holdings
Proposed by Investigator.
An interesting phase of Government
service is represented by Benton Mac
kaye. who arrived in the city from
Washington, D. C. yesterday. Mr. Mac
kaye, who is the brother of Percy Mac
kaye. one of tae country's foremost
playwrights, has a particular problem
which he is Interested in and which he
is working on as on a of the important
tasks involved in his occupation of
forest examiner.
The development of community set
tlements in Government forests Is the
ultimate object which Mr. Mackaye has
in mind. The settlement which he con
ceives Is to be a substitute for the
"hobo" camp, which at present offers
one of the few" places of refuge to
itinerant lumber jacks and other dwel
lers in the forest. The Government

and steps are now being taken for
gathering data which will aid in the
first experiments.

ference with officials at district head
quarters in the Beck building.
VACCINATION IS ORDERED
Health Officer Orders Precaution at
rich ne-Walker Business College. .
Five cases of smallpox among pupils
of the Behnke-Walker Business Col
lege caused the closing of the school
Monday for fumigation and the is
suance yesterduy of an order for vac
cination of all pupils. Having found
one case of the disease. City Health
Officer Marcellus visited the homes of
18 absentees from the school and found
two more active cases.

School apparently have been termi
nated. Five cases have been found
among .pupils, but all of them had been
out of school since the. disease started.

ease has all been traced to a man who
came here recently from Washington,
