Germany Must Be Fined for Wrongs
Done Little Xations, Parliament
Is Told Errors in Recent
Offensive- Admitted. '
PARIS, May 22. Parliament -wad re
opened today and the expected inter
pellations regarding tne conduct of the
war were presented in the Chamber.
Addressing the Deputies in regard ttt
the interpellations, Premier Ribot said:
"I recognize that the representatives
of the people desire some explanations.
These may be given publicly. The
public, like yourselves, has the right
to be Influenced. Secret sessions may
well be reserved for other subjects.
"Concerning the interpellations on
the last offensive, it may be said there
were some excessive hopes and some
errors of execution, but the results ob
tained should be neither exaggerated
nor belittled. Never have our soldiers
proved, mors admirable.
"The government has thought some
changes should be made and it has
made them. It has reorganized the
high command so as to relieve it of
everything not concerned with military
operations. The Minister of War now
works in co-operation with the mill'
tary committee cf the chamber. I ask
postponement of the discussion on this
point until the work of bringing about
this co-operation has been concluded.
Submarine Menace Still Big.
"In reference to submarine warfare
I recognize that, while the tonnage loss
has diminished we must seek more en
ergetic and decisive means of dealing
with submarines. "We will consider
that situation further on Friday.
"As to the food supply we are ready
to discuss it as soon as possible, be
lieving that the country has not been
sufficiently informed."
Taking, up the Russian situation,
Premier Ribot said it was necessary to
combat dangerous sophism which
sought to treat the restoration of "our
lost provinces" as being a question of
annexation and which also confused
the question of indemnities for ravages
In the invaded provinces.
"This indemnity is a contribution
which is inflicted as a fine for wrong
done," said the Premier, 'It is a re
quirement which both law and equity
demand. The same reparation should
be required for all small nations which
have been crushed, for Belgium, Ser
bia, Roumania and Montenegro.
"No conquests and no covetousness
that, in substance, is what the Russian
government ; declares. France replies
that it could not oppress any national
ity, even that of its enemies. It will
call to its aid to defend the small na
tions, not vengeance, but justice.
: Durable Peace Wanted.
"What France also wishes is a dura
ble peace, but we do not wish military
riinnositlons to endure which can de
stroy this durable peace when it is
once made. If the German people com
nrehended this, it would make peace
easier to attain. That is the view of
Russia at the moment when the United
States is making preparations to enter
the war. Now let Russia make her or
fehslve and we will be able to talk
of peace, not in an equivocal manner,
but openly and. this peace, if they do
not ask it of us. we will impose. .
Premier Ribot was applauded as he
concluded bis speech.
The government submitted io the
Chamber the estimates for the third
quarter of the year, the general budget
totalling 9,843,000,000 francs and the
supplementary budgets totalling 1,032,-
000.000 francs.
The general budget shows an in
crease of 218.0ox.000 francs over the
second quarter of the year, but is
slightly below what was expected, en
abling the Minister of Finance to state
in presenting the estimates:
"For the first time since the begin
ning of hostilities the . aggregate of
government expenses begins to show a
certain tendency towaras buuuiij.

duction to Dr. R. S. Fisher and Dr. R.
H. Wellington from Dr. J. O'Neil, of
San Diego. These letters Were obtained
from Dr. O'Neil through Holter Ken
nett, fiance of Miss Roy. These let
ters were given us for professional con
sultation. We presented one letter to
Dr. Fisher with the unhappy ending.
We are not girls of questionable repu
tation, and are from decent homes and
good ancestry. We were remaining in
Portland for professional treatment for
Miss Roy from Dr. Fisher, and at the
same time trying to enlist in the Red
Cross service.
"MART CAIN,
"JANE ROY."
Letter Given by Classmate.
Dr. O'Neil, who gave the two nurses
the letters of introduction to Dr.
Fisher, was the latter's classmate at
college, and personally advised Mis6
Roy to consult Dr. Fisher for profes
sional treatment. ,
Mrs. Therkelsen, broken as she is by
the death .of he. daughter, express
her desire that nothing be left undone
to olear the names of the young women
from any stigma, and repeatedly as
serted her deep sorrow that thv
should have been the subjects of un
deserved Censure.
Investigation develnnprl ti fVi
Dr. Fisher had trea ed several patisnts
Monday night, and that Miss Roy and
Miss Cain found it necessary to wait
some time before they could see him.
According to the story told the
police,-Mrs. Fisher had been out to the
Oregon Yacht Club during the eveninv.
She had Waited some time fpr her hus-
wna to can ior ner, ana wnen tie Old
hot appear she decided to go to his
office on her way home. When she
arrived there she found her husband
and the two nurses, both of whom are
attractive and each about 20 years old.
. ' Telephone Call Switched.
She remohstrated with her husband
for his actions, it is said, and a quar
rel ensued. Mrs. Fisher reached for
a telephone to call the police, but each
time she tried to get police headquar-"
ters Dr. Fisher pushed the button at
the exchange board and disconnected
the telephone. The operator at the
switchboard, at the station became sus
picious and sent Motorcycle Patrolmen
Crane and Gouldstone to the , Hilars
building.
When they Arrived they found Df.
Fisher and Mrs. Fisher in one room
and the two nurses in another room.
Evidences that drinks had been par
taken of in the room were apparent
in the glasses and pitcher found in
the office. The girls admitted having
taken a little wine, which Dr. Fisher
had in his office for medicinal pur
poses. -
First Effort Thwarted.
When the patrolmen arrived Mrs.
Fisher broke away from her husband
and went into the surgery. She
snatched a bottle containing some co
caine solution and tried to drink it, but
Patrolman Oouldstone knocked the
bottle from her hands. Bhe reached
again for a drug and this time was suc
cessful in drinking a quantity of iodine
before the police could interfere.
Dr. Laun agin, of the emergency
hospital, was summoned and he and Dr.
Fisher administered first aid. A
stomach pump was used . with effect
and the stomach was washed with par
affine oil. She was then taken to St.
Vincent's hospital by the Ambulance
Service Company, where she died at 3
o'clock yesterday morning.
Two Charges Flld.
Dr. Fisher and the two nurses were
taken to police headquarters and Dr.
Fisher was held on two charges vio
lating the prohibition law and disor
derly conduct. He was released on
rnishing bail of $300. The two girls
e held as witnesses for a time, but
r released.
The explanation of the tragedy as
given by the girls and Frank Loner
gan, attorney for Dr. Fisher, was that
the girls had known two classmates
of Dr. Fisher at Stanford University,
where the latter was one of the well
known athletes a number of years ago,
The arrived in Portland only a few
days ago and registered at the Port
land Hotel. Prior to that time they
have been in San Diego. Kan Francisco
and Hot Lake, Or. They sought out
Dr; Fisher when they arrived in Port
land, and, as one of them is said to
have " been suffering from stomach
trouble, she consulted him profession
ally, f
Wife's Action Impulsive.
Dr. Fisher made an appointment
with the two girls last night, and after
treating one of them began to chat of
their mutual friends. ' One of these is
Dr. O'Neil, of San Diego, and the other
Dr. Tracy, of Helena. Both the girU
took their training at Helena, where
they became acquainted with Dr.
Tracy.
While thus talking, said Mr. Loner-
ran, Mrs.- Fisher entered and in an im
pulsive moment, without stopping to
get an explanation from her husband,
took the poison that ended her life.
After being thoroughly questioned by
Deputy District Attorney Ryan and
Deputy City Attorney tadter yester
day the girls were released on their
own recognizance. Both attorneys said
that they could see no reason for hold
ing the girls longer. The case of vio
lating the prohibition law will be
taken tip against Dr. Fisher next Mon
day. He will be represented by Mr.
Lonergan.
Mrs. Fisher's Family Prominent.
The body of Mrs. Fisher was taken
in charge by the Coroner. Funeral ar
rangements will be made later.
Mrs. Fisher was 29 years of age and
was Hazel Therkelaon, member of
prominent Portland family before he
marriage to Dr. Fisher three and
half years ago. Members of the family
were prostrated over the tragedy.
Miss Roy is from Wibaux, Mont., and
Miss Cain from Bozeman, Mont. Ac
cording to advices received from Boze
man late yesterday, the girls have
been employed at Almota, Wash., an
at Hot Lake, Or., most recently. Ad
Vices received by the District Attor
ney yesterday indicated that Miss
Roy's parents -were well known i
Wibaux and that she was a graduate
nurse.
The charge against Dr. Fisher is con
sldered merely a technical charge of
Violation of the prohibition law. Th
liquor Dr. Fisher is said to have invited
the girls to drink was wine that he had
in his office.

Transportation Weed Big.
The scop of tba work outlined for
the envoys will take into account many
peculiar problems which confront the
government, of Rome. For one thing,
Italy's transportation needs are re
garded as much greater than those of
her northern allies, beoause she is so
heavily dependent upon the outside
world, and particularly America, tor
raw materials. She must have thou
sands of tons of American coal to keep
her factories In operation and. great
auanttties of iron and steel for war
manufactures.
Lumber and selected hardwoods also
are needed from America for war con
struction work. Chemicals are needed
for the production of high explosives.
and great quantities of cotton must be
Imnorted from this country, noi oniy
for making smokeless powder, but for
clothing for the soldiers and tne
civilian DODulatlon. Copper, brass and
rubber also must be had for war pur
noses.
In the matter or rood, ltaiy is per
haps better off than the other allies,
hut she still is in want or great quan
ties of grain. The Italians are fond of
Indian corn- which is the base of the
famous national dish, "polenta."
Nation Aided Financially.
Ttalv's " financial problems resemble
those of th other entente allies. Ai-

of American aid in reduced exchange

FACTS
about other
shaving soaps
Careful, practical tests snow that the Stick
is the most economical shaving prepara
tion; Powder next, and Cream the least
economical. But if you want to use the lux
urious and expensive cream form of shav.
ing soap, you will find that Colgate's Shaving
Cream is mora economical than any other
cream sold at about the same retail price.
A tube of ColgaU't contains more soap and
mora ' glycerine, the two essentials in a
shaving cream ; the soap to make the lather t
the glycerine to keep the soap in ' cream
form ready for easy Use.
TRY THE SINKING TEST
Soap and glycerine sink In water. A shav
ing cream which floats is "fluffed up with
air. Drop into water a half inch of the
having cream you are using. Does it sink
or float? Is it all shaving value or partly
alr Colgate's Shaving Cream will sink at
oncet proof-positive of its concentrated
glycerine and soap content. Proof also that
with Colgate' you get the most econom
ical shave possible from a shaving croam.
