Governor Withycombe Declares That
Jfaming of Third Member Was
Accessary Because of Im
portance of Work.
BALEM, Or.. ApHl 23. (Special.)-.-Wllford
Allen, editor of the Rogue Riv
er Courier and president of the Grants
Pass Commercial Club, today was ap
pointed by Governor Wlthycombe as a
member of the Industrial Accident Com
mission, to fill the place left vacant by
Lieutenant-Colonel Carle Abrams, who
also was chairman of the commission.
Lieutenant-Colonel Abrams Is with the
Third Oregon Infantry, which was called
out at the declaration of war.
The appointment of Mr. Allen de
pends, for Its duration, entirely upon
the duration of the present war.
Reorganization In Doubt.
At any time upon the return of Lieutenant-Colonel
Abrams, after being re
leased from service, Mr. Allen will vol
untarily leave the position.
The commission will now Include Mr.
Allen, Harvey Beckwith and W. A.
Marshall. It Is not known whether
there will be any reorganization, but It
is proDable that a temporary chairman
will be selected to serve as head of the
commission until the return of Lieutenant-Colonel
Abrams.
Under the law the commissioners, In
the absence of one of the commission
ers, may either select a deputy, or his
absence may be filled by the appoint
ment of a commissioner by the Gover
nor. Need of Appointment Felt.
"I believe It better that a commis
sioner be named," stated Governor
Wlthycombe in reference to the ap
pointment. "This commission Is one of
the most Important of any in the state,
and Its work is of such a nature as to
make It practically imperative that
there be three commissioners, rather
than two commissioners and a deputy.
"It Is understood that Mr. Allen will
serve only during the absence of Lieutenant-Colonel
Abrams while that offi
cer Is away on military duty.
"Mr. Allen will come to the commis
sion, with the highest of recommenda
tions from those who know him. I have
known Mr. Allen Intimately for a num
ber of years, and I know his work will
reflect credit on the commission.
"It Is essential, with a commission of
this kind, that men of considerable
ability be named to perform the duties
which devolve upon the office, and Mr.
Allen Is a man of that caliber."
RECRUITING RALLY IS PLAN
Miss Kutli Ii. B. Price to Preside
at Meeting Saturday Night.
A rally to stimulate recruiting In
the Navy will be held at Library Hall
Saturday night. Miss Ruth L. B. Price
will preside at that time, and there
will be addresses by a number of prom
tnent men of the city.
The Musicians' Union will furnish an
orchestra for the occasion, and the
Girl Scouts will usher.
Among the speakers will be W. T.
Gorder, U. S. N. ; E. B. Lundberg, Spanish-American
War Veterans; E. A.
Clark, Progressive Business Men's
Club; F. T. Bratton, Portland Ad Club;
L. E. Beach, Spanish-American War
Veteran, and D. C Plcke,tt, Portland
attorney.

2 CUB CATCHERS TO GO
ROWDY ELLIOTT IS KOT TO
BE
TRADED OR RELEASED.
Ex-Manager of Oaks Makes Good at
Place Behind Plate and
Can Stand Work. "
Manager Fred Yapp Mitchell has five
catchers on the Cub team, and it is a
certainty that he Is not going to keep
more than three of them. Where the
other two will be shipped to is a mat-'
ter of conjecture. They may be sent
to minor league clubs or used In trades
with teams in the National League.
Kowdy Elliott, last season manager
of the Oakland Pacific Coast League
club until Del Howard took over the
ribbons, will not be released to a minor
league outfit or even used In a trade.
If Frank Le Roy Chance, of the Angels,
ever did really have a hunch that he
might secure Elliott from the Cubs,
Rowdy has knocked his plans to
smithereens. For Rowdy has made
good.
Elliott Is one of the best catchers on
Mitchell's .staff. The opportunity is
what he has been longing for since he
went up from the Coast last Fall.
Elliott Is not as big as Manager
Mitchell likes a catcher to be, but is
constructed so powerfully that he can
stand as much work as the biggest re
ceiver in the game. And he Is aggres
siveness personified.
The Cubs are not a bit weak behind
the plate with Elliott catching. He can
do everything any of the other catchers
can do, and it is believed that if he is
kept in the garaa continually he will
hit the ball hard.
WOMAN ACTS OWN LIFE
UERHU'E SHONE SEEKS TO MAKE
ORPHEUM AUDIENCES GLAD.
Actress Appears In OIary Ann," Assist
ed by Company of Seven Work
Is Poetic Fantasy.
It was a simple matter for Ilermhie
Shone to discover the idea of her latest
offering, "Mary Ann," which she is
presenting at the Orpheum, assisted by
company or seven. All she had to do
was to visualize actual portions of her
own life, then Emmet De Voy, her hus
band, in collaboration with Harold
Brook, proceeded to knit them together
into a poetic fantasy which is a work
of rare dramatic and literarv merit-
Mary Ann, as portrayed by Miss Shone,
is virtually a study of every woman
passing through the various stages of
life.
"I do not want fickle fame, nor
chests of glittering gold," exclaimed
Miss Shone. . "But I wish with all my
heart to be remembered by all who see
me. I shall be happy to know I have
given them the feeling, 'Gee, after all,
it's good to be alive.' "

April 23. (Special.) War conditions
at the university have resulted today
in the postponement of the Oregon
historical pageant. . This big all
Oregon affair, which was to have been
a feature of the commencement week,

of the students' time now is being
taken up with this military work that
they could not be expected to devote
the time necessary to rehearsing for

ell of Defense has been made at the
direct request of Secretary of War
Baker, who is also chairman of the
National Council of Defense," said Gov
ernor Wlthycombe today In announcing
the appointments.
Object Is Supervision.
"Its purpose Is to establish an offl
clal state organization to work in con
junction with the Federal Council and
to co-operate with the various activi
ties and organizations already under
way locally. Presumably it will be the
supervising agency through which the
Plans of the Government as regards
economic mobilization in Oregon will
be out into effect."
At the request of Governor Wlthy
combe a meeting will be called lmme
diately. the council to meet In Port
land and select one of Its members to
represent Oregon at the Nation-wide
conference which Secretary Baker has
called to meet In Washington May 2.
Governor Lister, of Washington, to
day telegraphed Governor Withycombe
making the suggestion that this con
ference be attended also by the West
ern executives In person, but Governor
Withycombe expressed himself as be
lieving that he could do more good at
home. He believes, particularly, that
It would be proper for a member of the
State Council to attend the meeting in
person that he may become thoroughly
familiarized with the plana of the Fed
ew.1 authorities, and learn what is be
ing undertaken In other states.
Labor to Be Distributed.
The State Council, it is understood,
will adopt a plan of appointing sub
committees for the direct adminlstra
tion of such matters as the distribution
of labor where It will do the most
crood. provide for agricultural develop
ment seed distribution, recruiting,
taking the census of Industrial and
man power, and handling other mat
ters as they arise from time to time,
Much of this work, I well realize. Is
largely under way," said Governor
Wlthycombe. "Especially Is this true
In agricultural mobilization, where
good state organization already
started. The fullest co-operation with
the agencies whose plans are now be
lng formed will be forthcoming. It 1
not the Idea that the State Council
supersede any committees or organlza
tions In active existence, but simply to
co-ordinate their efforts for the great
est general efficiency.
Oregon' Record Landed.
'Oregon seems to have made an en
viable National record In getting her
state troops ready for service, and an
other record In Army and Navy recruit
ing. It is now my nope mai we may set
still another record in prompt and pa
triotic co-operation with the National
Council of Defense through our State
Council.
The Governor asserted that he be-
lieyes the results from the conference
called by President Kerr, held in Port
land last Saturday, will be excellent
and In this connection dwelt upon the
Immediate desirability of collecting
funds locally for purchase and distri
bution of seed. Irrespective of whether
or not Oregon receives any Federal
financial aid.
'Should the time come when the Gov
ernment deems It necessary to regulate
prices and pass other drastlo war-time
legislation regulating food distribution
along the lines adopted In European
countries. Bald the Governor, "presum
ably the State Council would be the lo
cal agency directing the work, at least
In an advisory capacity with Federal
officers."

Adams, prominent rancher, who owns
large areas of deeded land in the
neighborhod of these homestead .lands,
the land lying in California consti
tutes some of the choicest and most
desirable units In the whole area, and
it is not known here why there should
be so few seekers of land lying over
the border.

TALLAHASSE, Fla., April 23. The
Florida State Senate today adopted a
joint resolution to submit the equal
suffrage amendment to the voters In
1318. The resolution goes to the House
for consideration.
f '"SHIS is not philanthropy on our part. While the plan eaves YOU ranch,
a it also saves for us. We benefit by the Power of Efficiency just the same
as you, because
Where we were able to sell one suit the old way at $25, $30, $35, $40
and $45, we will sell five now at no greater selling cost. And while our profit on
each sale at $20 or $30 will be small, the total will be more by reason of the in
creased number of sales.

BUTTLE SIGNAL SEEN
Sheriff Said to Have Cried
"Come on Men" to Posse.
BOYS ARE WITNESSES
First Puff of Smoke Declared to
Have Come From Direction of
Sherlfr Children Tell of See
ing BOO Shells on Dock.
SEATTLE. Wash.. April 23. The
first shot In the battle at the Everett
city dock on November 6. 1916, was in
dicated by a puff of smoke and came
from a short distance behind Sheriff
Donald McRae, of Snohomish County.
according to the testimony today of
Robert Armstrong, at the trial of
Thomas H. Tracy, who is charged with
the murder of Jefferson Beard, a Dep
uty Sheriff.
Just before the shot was fired McRae
turned to the officers grouped behind
him, cried "Come on, men." and pulled
a revolver from a holster which hung
at his belt, Armstrong declared.
Tracy, an Industrial Worker of the
World, was one of the party of In
dustrial Workers sent from Seattle
aboard the steamer Verona to hold a
meeting In Everett at a street-corner
where such meetings were forbidden
by city ordinance. Beard was killed
in the battle which took place when
the Verona reached the Everett city
dock.
Witness Wounded Thrice.
Armstrong said that when the boat
touched at the dock he was standing
on the port side ' of the Verona, the
side nearest the dock, near where the
gangway was run out, and almost di
rectly in front of McRae, who stepped
forward, declaring that he was the
Sheriff of Snohomish County and that
the party aboard the Verona would
not be allowed to land.
Armstrong said that In the course of
the affray which followed his head
was grazed three times by bullets
which made Blight flesh wounds, and
that arter the Verona had backed out
a considerable distance from the dock
the firing continued, one bullet com
ing close to him and penetrating the
Verona's cabin.
Children See Shell.
Children swarmed upon the city dock
after the battle and fllled their pockets
with empty rifle and pistol shells, ac
cording to testimony Introduced today
William Lelghton, 16 years of age,
said that he was one of a crowd of
boys who saw the battle and who
rushed on the wharf Immediately after
the deputy Bherlffs had retired. He
testified that he saw between 400 and
600 discharged shells of all calibers.
Rollle Jackson, 15, and Jack Warren,
11, told the same story as did Lelgh
ton. Henrv Krlesr. an Industrial Worker
of the World, passenger on the Verona,
recalled by the state for cross-exam
ination, said that he did not see any
empty shells on the Verona and that
the first firing came from the wharf,
behind Sheriff McRae. On redirect ex
amination the witness said he saw
many bulletholes In the sides and spent
bullets on the decks of the Verona after
the vessel had left Everett for Seattle.
