C. L..HAWLEY OUT OF RACE
Senator From Polk and Benton Con
gratulates Gns C. Moser.
Gus C. Moser, holdover Senator from
Multnomah County, whose election as
President of the State Senate became
certain more than a week ago, has re
ceived a letter from C. L. Hawley, Sen
ator from Polk and Benton counties,
announcing the withdrawal of his own
candidacy and congratulating Senator
Moser on his victory.
Senator Hawley also said he wanted
to do all he could to make the session
harmonious one.
Senators Wood, of Washington, and
plson, of Multnomah, having with
drawn some time ago, B. L. Eddy. Sen
ator from Douglas County, Is the only

has not withdrawn to date. Senator
Moser will have virtually a unanimous

SIMPLER PROCEDUREURGED
Service of Summons by Attorneys
llather Than by Sberiff Suggested
by Loyal II. McCarthy Change
in Filing Pleadings Asked.
The simplification of legal procedure
was discussed at a meeting of the Mult
nomah Bar Association held in Judge
Gantenbein's courtroom at the Court
house last night. Besides legislative
enactments which will rid the legal
machinery of useless encumbrances,
everal means were brought forward
whereby greater expediency can be in
troduced without other steps than
agreements between members of the
bar and bench.
The present machinery of Justice, ac
cording to Loyal H. McCarthy, who
poke last night, has put the lawyer to
great Inconvenience, and diminished his
profits, besides withholding justice
from many people who would bring
cases to trial were the procedure sim
pier and less expensive.
The service of summons by attor
neys. rather than by the Sheriff, was
part of Mr. McCarthy's suggestion. Fur
ther reforms that he advocated Include
a change in the manner of filing plead
ings, and a simpler process of 'bringing
i case to trial. The existing differ
ences between law and equity cases
as recognized In court procedure were
mentioned as the source of many reme
diable difficulties.
A plea for more moderate reform in
procedure was sounded by A. L. Veazle,
who reminded his colleagues of the ad
vantage gained by certain legal for-
Llities. Tne summons served by
Sheriff's offices, he said, could be less
easily evaded than one served in
formally.
Several attorneys presented plans
and suggestions for simpler machinery
both in criminal ana civil court prac
tice which would save expense to the
taxpayers, and increase the speed and
efficiency of litigation, the general
opinion being that many improvements
could easily be made in the traditional
practices of the law.
STRIKER FINED FOR FIGHT
F. A. Macdke Convicted of Attacking
Nonunion Employe.
A fight growing out of the strike
at the Independent Foundry resulted
In F. A. Maedke, striker, being fined
$10 last night by Municipal Judge
Langguth on a charge of assault and
battery. Gus Florin, strikebreaker, ac
cused Maedke of beating him.
The fight occurred at the east ap
proach to the Alblna ferry. The two
men were waiting ror tne ferry to
cross to tne independent roundry
Florin to take up his work in th
plant and Maedke to go on plcke
duty.
Attorneys Harold M. Sawyer and
Thomas McCucker, representing the
Employers Association, prosecuted th
case. Dave Robinson, public defender,
defended Maedke.
Sport Clothes Are to Be Popular
Again Xext Spring and Hints
cf New Styles Run Heavily
to Norfolk Order.
That the accepted width for the
Spring skirt will be !ti yards is the
opinion of local buyers and designers
wno nave reviewed private displays
from some of the best of New York
shops.
Although the skirt will not be ex
tremely narrow It will have none of the
flare that characterised the past sea
son s styles. Hoops and wide panniers
are barred from the coming modes and
tne SKirt lengtns win range from six
to seven inches above the floor. It is
little more than possible to walk com
fortably in a skirt of a two-yard
ldth, so milady will have little to
spare in the new two and one-half-
yards model.
"The effect will be straight," said
buyer, "and the skirt may look nar
row, but will not be too scanty. It has
been my experience that women wear
their clothes as long or short as they
wish, even though they keep near the
mode of the moment. A short, fat
woman cannot wear the extremely short
skirt, neither can a very tall, slender
one, but there are types who can. and
there are enough of them so that the
style will not go out this season."
Local buyers can tell now that sports
clothes will be greatly in vogue with
the coming season and that the early
suits will be modified Norfolks.
"I have never seen so many suits
that are really Korfolks." said a buyer
yesterday, "when you sift the thing
down. There are new features, yes, new
sorts of pleats and gathers, but the gen
eral lines are on the Xorfolk order,
The pockets are not in as great promi
nence as last Spring.
Among the new materials are: Kahkl
kool, jerseys, Meadowbrook satin, ga
bardines, trlcoltine. diagonal weave
suitings, pongee and jersey silk.
Green will bo very popular next
Spring and navy blue the best color of
the early season. There are at least
seven shades of green that will be good.
