A resolution- demanding the removal of Allen H. Eaton as a Representative in the State Legislature from -Lane County and his resignation as a mem ber of the faculty of the University of Oregon because of his participation In the meeting- of tfje People's .Coun cil of America for Democracy' and Veace at Chicago was unanimously adopted at a meeting of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce tonight. The resolution, which was introduced by J. E. Shelton, editor of the Eugene 3-aily Guard, referring to Eaton'a con nection with the university, declares a state institution is the last place where there should be a suspicion of disloyalty and - asserts that Eaton's continuance in office as a member of the State Legislature is a menace to the state and Nation ' ; IVeed Unity Averted. The text of the resolution follows: We, the members of the Eugene Chamber f Commerce, in a. time when our Govern ment is bending every energy in war, rec ognize the necessity for loyalty to the flag und unity ot purpose, believe the Jation la confronted by a situation In which it is the duty of every loyal American to do his ut most in protecting the Nation, from disloyal agencie, no matter whether the forces are pro-Germans who strike directly at our country or so-called pacifists who, regard -Ices of their motives, would weaken America in carrying on this war by causing an im pression in other countries that as a people we do not stand united. "Whereas, Allen 11. Eaton, Representative from Lane County in the State Legislature end a member of tho faculty of the Uuiver- , Bf ty of Oregon, participated in a. meeting of the People's Council of America for democracy and peace held in violation of an order given by a Governor of a state of the Vnlted States and at which speakers at tacked the President -of tho United States, and Whereas. Tt has been publicly chargtd that this meeting was planned by a com bination of German agents and had as Its object the creation of the impression in Eussia that the people of the- T'nited States' were opposed to the war, with a view of j causing further dissension in that country, and Danger Is Noted. i Whereas, It is obvious that any such ' meeting at this time could serve only the purposes of tho German government and at thfl same time endanger the interests of the American Government, and Whereas, Mr. Eaton, in writing an account , of this meeting of the People's Council of ' America for Democracy and Peace, was pre sented as Representative from Lane County in the Oregon Legislature; therefore, be it Resolved. That we denounce such aii ef fort to bring tho Joyalty to the Nation of the people of Lane County into question, and be it further Reiolved, That we petition the Governor of the state of Oregon to remove Allen H. Eaton as Representative from Lane County in the State Legislature because of his par ticipation in a meeting against - the best Interest of the Nation, and because his presence as a member of the St a to Legis lature is a menace under such circum stances, and bo it further Resolved, That as the last place in which there had been any suspicion of disloyalty Jn our state institutions, that President p. L. Campbell, president of the ' University of Oregon, be asked to call for Mr. Eaton's resignation as a member of tho faculty of i he University, as we believe his associa tion with that institution will no longer sprve the best interests of the state and Is at ion.

Instead of Dustin I'arnum, tho offering presents that handsome young matinee Idol, Wallace lieid, in the title role, -7hi:e'he lias an excellent supporting cast in Dorothy Davenport, Anita' King, Ernest" Joy, Mabel Van Puren and Raymond Hatton. Following the story of "The Squaw Man," the Columbia Theater week-end feature depicts a series of colorful in cidents involving the son of the Squaw Man, now grown up. The etory opens in England, where the hero is wedded to an Englishwoman, and then shifts to Arizona, where the thrills of effective melodrama are pictured. A rough and tumble fight between a man and wom an, and the sacrifice of a dying parson, who swallows a. draught of brandy that he may have strength to shoot a savage Indian lover who' assails Wah-Na-Gi, the redskin heroine, are among the chief dramatic incidents of the picture. There are many threads to the nar rative. The English end, - where the squawmau's son , is Lord Effington, then the Arizona angle of love ' and hate, complicated by . a "trust- con spiracy over asphalt fields, and Inr dian squabbles over land, make "The Squaw Man's Son" a decidedly plotful picture. However, the half-breed Eng lish aristocrat wins his Indian sweet heart in the end, for his English wife accommodatingly dies from an over does of morphine. A comedy and current events also are screened. - Liberty. j A decidedly pleasing little comedy drama is "Wooden Shoes," a picture in which Bessie Barriscale makes what may be' her final appearance for Tri angle. The five-reeler opens a two day engagement at the Liberty Theater today. "His Footlight Folly." a hilarr ious one-reel comedy, and glimpses of Anette Kellerman in aquatic stunts are other numbers of entertainment. "Wooden Shoes" is the picture for which a Dutch village was built down in Los Angeles. The picture has been lavishly and prettily staged and Miss Barriscale, who makes a charming Holland lass, is supported by an Ince Company including Howard Hickman, J. Frank Burke, Gertrude Claire, J. J. Dowling and Margaret Thompson. Miss Barriscale is "Pampy," an orphan and slavey in a Dutch inn. A kindly priest gives her money to buy a ticket for America, where her grand father lives. Accompanied by her sole friend, Hans Dunkelberger, Pampy de parts. She finds it hard to find her grandfather, upon her arrival .in New York, for he bears the name of Smith. Finally, however, through a picture of her done by an American artist whom she met in Holland, she is taken home just in time to put an end to the scheming of Mevrouw and her daugh ter, who is posing as Pampy. The production reminds one a great deal of that successful Mary Pick ford feature, "Hulda From Holland." Town Adopts Blary. The little California town in which the exterior scenes of "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm'' were filmed will never forget the arrival of Mary Pick ford, America's greatest photo dramatic actress. Mary Pickford and her -company of over 100 madA the journey from Los Angeles by special train, and when they pulled into the little village the whole town was there to meet them. The town Coun cil waited' upon Miss Pickford and Marshall Neilan, her director, saying: "Miss Pickford, this town is yours as long a you want td use it." Every inhabitant took part in the production. Miss Plckford's word was law, and for nearly two weeks she had the oppo- tumty of being queen, of iier real kingdom.
