Judgment meted out to Augustus B. F.
Orr, of Santa Monica. Cal.. yesterday
afternoon by Municipal Judge Koas
man for an alleged threat to kill Mrs.
I'elia Hodler.
Orr first' achieved public notice ' in
1911.. when he married Miss Mo'lic
Burk, an elderly spinster who had J75.
000 in her own name. In July, 1918,
jilie died, without a will, leaving him
the sole heir to her property. .
Mrs.. Oir's sister, Mrs. Margaret Hu
man son, sought to gain possession" of
the fortune by contesting the validity
el Orr's marriage to Miss Burk, on the
ground that his divorce from a previ
ous wife was illegal. The Supreme
Court decided this- case in Orr's favor.
Civil Action Is Delayed.
Mr. Orr then made his home with
Mr. and Mrs. Louis Hodler. Orr and
Mrs. Hodler were Joint owners of a.
fralf block on Broadway, between Sal
mon and Main streets.
After a few months Mr. and Mrs.
Hodler separated and were later di
vorced. Orr left for California. Mr.
Hodler filed a suit for $50,009 against
Orr. charging alienation of his wife's
affections. The case was never brought
to trial.
After residing for a year or so In
California Orr mailed to Mrs. Hodler
his power of attorney, authorizing her
to dispose of his property, deduct from
the proceeds $2500 which he had bor
rowed from her while awaiting adjudi
cation of his legacy, and send the bal
ance to him. This transaction was
carried out according to schedule, ex
cept, according to Orr, that Mrs. Hod
ler deducted more money from the pro
ceeds of the sale than she was en
titled to.
Conversation Is Refused.
There was considerable wrangling
over this point at the time, but things
quieted down and others concerned
thought the affair was ended until
Orr appeared in Portland last .Friday
night. He registered at a hotel and
endeavored to communicate with Mrs.
Hodler by telephone. According to the
testimony offered in court yesterday,
Mrs. Hodler hung up the telephone as
soon as she recognized Orr's voice.
Orr is then said to have called up
Frank Schlegel, attorney for Mrs. Hod
ler, threatening to kill both Mrs. Hod
ler and himself if the money due him
was not forthcoming.
"He told me, 'I've got the gun with
me now.' " testified Mr. Schlegel in
court. "He said, 'You are likely to
pick up The Oregonian any morning
and read about a double tragedy in
which I shot Delia Hodler and then
committed suicide.' "
Mr. Schlegel was so strongly moved
by these alleged threats that he went
to police headquarters and swore out
a warrant for Orr's arrest.
Pistol Found In Room. .
After the arrest Orr's room was
searched and a 45-caliber automatic
pistol was found in Orr's suitcase.
Orr was moved to the County Jail
Wednesday evening. Thomas Mannix.
another attorney, then descended upon
Orr and served papers making him the
defendant in Mr. Hodler's $50,000 suit
for alienation of his wife's affections.
Orr countered by threatening to sue
Mrs. Hodler for $2800, which, he main
tains, Mrs. Hodler withheld unlawfully
when she sold his property for him,
nd also for $700 worth of jewelry, for
merly the property of Mollie Burk,
which Orr says he loaned to Mrs.
Hodler.
When the case was called yesterday
Mr. Schlegel first took the stand to
testify to the violence of Orr's threat
upon the life of Mrs. Hodler. Mrs.
Hodler then testified that she and her
two sons were so terrified by Orr's
.threat that they spent three night3 all
huddled in one bed in the attic of their
bouse.
Threats Are Denied.
Orr, taking the stand in his own
behalf, denied making any threat on
Mrs. Hodler's life, but admitted that
he "had had several drinks" on the
night in question.
"Why." he declared in indignant
tones, "Why should I want to kill
Tielia Hodler? I wouldn't harm a hair
of her head. She's the last woman on
earth I'd want to injure."
Attorney Mannix then asked of the
court that Orr be placed under heavy
bonds to keep the peace. James Craib,
attorney for Orr, charged th op
posing attorneys with attempting to
put Orr in a bad light for the benefit
of the civil suits pending.
Both sides appeared willing to call
the fight a draw, and at the sugges
tion of Judge Rossman Orr, Mrs. Hod
ler and the three attorneys retired to
a private room for a conference. An
agreement was reached whereby the
charge of threatening to commit a fel
ony would be dropped if Orr should be
kept in jail until ready to' return to
California and then escorted to the
steamer by a detective:
He expects to leave for California
today. Since the death of his second
wife Orr has married again and has a
wife and baoy in Santa Monica await
ing his return.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., Dec. 1. How
to get enough men at a Wage within
reason to harvest New Jersey's war
crop next year will be the problem
several hundred of the foremost farm
ers in the state will call upon the New
Jersey Grange, Patrons of Husbandry,
which has 16,000 members, to solve at
Its annual convention.
State officials, who have urged the
owners of large farms-to consider a co
operative plan of housing the men who
will be required by thousands to get in
the crops, will confer with grange rep
resentatives from 21 counties in the
shore meeting. The State Department
of Labor has been informed that wages
ranging from $3 to $4 a day will not
tempt men to leave the cities, where
their services are in demand, to work
upon the farms unless they are assured
satisfactory housing conditions.
One plan suggested to meet this con
dition is the building of temporary
barracks, with sleeping, bathing and
eating facilities, the expense to be de
frayed by a number of farmers in a
community.

HOOVER NAILS LIE

SURPLUS WHEAT EXPORTED
Telegram to W. B. Ayer Says Self
Deniial of American People for
First Time Allows Ship
ment to Allies..
In a telegram received last night by
W. B. Ayer, Federal Food Administrator
for Oregon, Herbert C. Hoover brands
as raise a statement emanating irom
Chicago that there is an abundant sup
ply of meat and that meatless days
are unnecessary.
These statements, according to Mr.
Hoover, "are either malicious or ema
nate from personal interest, endeavor
ing to raise the price of meat."
"When I was in Washington," said
Mr. Ayer last night, "Mr. Hoover told the
state food administrators that the coun
try must continue to conserve meat and
wheat and that we have just begun
conservation; He declared that, as the
war progresses, it will be necessary for
our people to make great sacrifices for
the cause of. liberty and freedom and
that among them is certain to be absti
nence from meat to a large extent and
also from the use of white bread. He is
trying to put the Nation on a proper
food basis to avoid this situation as.
long as possible; but 4t is sure to come,
especially if conservation plans are
hampered by such reports as those go
ing out from Chicago."
Mr. Hoover's telegram is as follows:
Statements appearing In the Chicago preaa
and widely circulated emanating- from
parties Interested in exploiting meat and
protesting against wheatless and meatless
days as unnecessary sacrifices by American
people, are either malicious or emanate from
personal Interest, obviously endeavoring to
raise the price of meat.
The results from meatless days have for
the first time created a sufficient visible
supply -to allow us to partially comply with
the quantities requested by the allies for
shipment during the month of December. It
should be a matter of satisfaction to the
entire American people that their devotion
In this matter now enables us to resume
our duties to the allies in this respect, and
our enterprise should In no instance oe
relaxed.
As to wheat, we have already exported
the whole of the surplus of the HUT harvest.
over and above the normal demand of our
own people until the demand of the 1918
harvest. It Is necessary for the Food Ad
ministration to restrict the export of wheat
so as to retain in the United States suf
ficient supplies to carry our own people
until the next harvest, therefore all ex
ports of wheat from now forward are limited
entirely to volume of saving made by the
American people In their consumption of
wheat and wheat products. We are con
tinuing wheat shipment for December as
far as our situation allows, but even with
all the conservation made we . are Still un
able; -to load- over 400,000 tons of food stuffs
urgently required by the allies, during the
month of recember alone.
. Statements of the character referred to
above, given out for personal Interest, are
in little accord with the spirit being shown
by millions of homes in the United States
In an -endeavor to aid the Food Administra
tion in its task of feeding our own soldiers
abroad, as well as our allies, and stabilizing
prices to our own people.
No more foolish or unpatriotic utterances
nave been made than the statements i
ferred to. . In the critical aituatlon of the
world's food today, opposition to the Gov
ernment conservation measures is an action
comparable to opposltin to the draft, be
cause any failure In saving food' means di
rect and immediate loss of life, aside from
serious Interference with out war service In
the feeding of our allies.
SHEEP SENT BY BARGE
THREE-DECKER CRAFT USED
CONVEY 2300 IN FLOCK.
TO
Hitherto Unused Raige for Approxi
. mately 73,000 Animals to Be Util
ized Near Lake Chelan.
v WASHINGTON, 'Nov. 25. By the use
of a three-decker barge capable of
carrying 2700 sheep at a time, hitherto
unused range for approximately 75,000
sheep at the head of Lake Chelan, on
the Chelan National Forest, Washing
ton, has been made available for use.
This, according to grazing experts of
the Forest Service, is an example of
the way in which new range on the
National forests is being opened up in
an effort to Increase the-country's meat
supply.
Lake Chelan, which, officers of the
Forest Service say. is one of the most
beautiful bodies of water in the West,
is 62 miles long. While the head of
the lake is accessible only by boat
and narrow mountain trails, the lower
end is convenient to a railroad and also
to the bunchgrass ranges of Eastern
Washington, upon which the sheepmen
of that region have for many years
wintered large numbers of sheep. They
lacked Summer range, however. The
Summer range at the head of Lake Che
lan, - It is explained. Is particularly
good, but is cut off from the nearest
ranches by a long stretch of exceeding
ly rough country over which sheep
cannot, be driven without severe losses.
Officers of the Forest Service sug
gested the construction of a barge to
be towed by a small steamer, which
would make it possible to transport
the sheep to the head of the lake. The
suggestion was carried out with the
aid of the railroad, and 37,000 sheep
were put on this practically new range
the first season. Not only was the
National forest land utilized, but the
route up the lake offers a satisfactory
way to a' large adjoining area In Brit
ish Columbia, which, though inaccessi
ble from the Canadian side, may now
be reached from this side.
The plan was so successful that the
stockmen Intend to construct another
and larger barge for use next season.

"The mission returned with the most
favorable impression of the spirit of
the officers and men and of -the state
of their preparation, besides the re
markable esprit de corps in evidence
in every branch of the service. The
mission noted with special satisfaction
details of ' organization on somewhat
original lines, with a young man full

. KUGKXK, Or.. Dec. 6. (Special.) "I
am satisfied . that histoiy will record
that no nation ever went to war for
higher ideals than the United States of
America did when she declared war
upon Germany a few months ago," K.
V. Sanderson, president of the Pacific
Northwest Parliament of Christian
Churches, stated at the close of a

a question as to whether lie believed
it to be necessary at this time to pic
ture the- horrors of war as he .had pic
tured them.. he said that in the past we
had been teaching the hero and brass
band side of war and keeping away
from the awfulness of it. He said he
believed that by showing the American
people the terrible part of war they
would understand America's justifica
tion in waging war against military
autocracy.
.That the war had been brought upon
the world by a country to which the
world had looked for the highest cul
ture and the supreme in education, he
explained by saying that advanced cul
ture in Germany "became dangerous
because It lost the virtue of humility."

Safety in 'cw - York Zoo.
NEW TORK. Dec. 2. A soldier and
sailor saved 12-year-old Blanche Guzzl
from being scalped by a black bear in
Bronx Park while hundreds o'f persons
watched. The rubber ball which she
had been bounding on the walk rolled
into the cage and she reached through
the bars to -get it.
The bears long in captivity paid no
attention to the little hand groping for
the ball, but one, only recently cap
tured, swept the child's head to the
floor with a stroke of its paw. Scream
ing madly, she fought, and a crowd
quickry gathered. R. C. McDonald, sta
tioned at City Park Barracks,' Brook
lyn, and A. E. Price, member of the
V. S. S. Arhilla's crew, shouldered
through the press. McDonald grabbed
the paw that was tearing the scalp
from the child's head and Price cut
away the hair. The child's injuries
were dressed by a Fordham Hospital
surgeon and she was taken to her
home, 2480 Belmont avenue, suffering
from a slight wound in the scalp and
shock.

SILVER SMELT STEAMED
Mrs. C. D. Spencer Demonstrates
Various- Methods of Serving i'isli
so That Use or Food Will lie
Increased During War.
"It was nrlmitive woman who first
learned to dry and smoke and salt fish.
Her mate, who trapped and speared
them, would have remained content to
eat them raw. The industry of curing
fish, the arts of pottery, of weaving, i
and a score of others, were devised by
women before the dawn of history. j
Mrs. C. D. Spencer, municipal dem
onstrator in fish cookery, for the city
market, was arranging a neat layer of
silver smelt In a steamer as she made
these observations at yesterday after
noon's class in the Powers building.
"Why. it was primitive woman, at her
household tasks, who first felt the need
of speech, who -named things, and who
became articulate. Her mate, a fisher
and hunter, was a taciturn sort from
the very nature of his calling."
Steamed Smelt Recommended.
Nobody disapproved", quite the con
trary, for Mrs. Spencer's listeners were
housewives all, assembled to learn new
tactics against high prices, through the
use of fish on the family tables. In
deed there was quite a rustle of ap
probation, and an appreciative gig
gle or so.
"I place these silver smelt, a very
fine little fish, in the steamer for five
minutes or so," pursued Mrs. Spencer,
suiting the action to the word. "When
I remove them they will be placed in a
sauce of fish stock, vinegar, oil. spices,
onions and bay leaf and kept in a cool
place for a day or two. I may assure
you that sardines are 'not in if with
smelt so prepared. They are dainty and
satisfying for luncheons or sandwiches."
The stock of which the demonstrator
spoke was prepared by boiling fresh
fish scraps, and was declared to be ex
ceedingly rich in oils and nutriment.
It could be used in seasoning fish that
needs a drop of moisture and oil, ex
plained Mrs. Spencer.
Use of Black Cad Urged. '
Another dish prepared at yesterday's
class was scalloped crab, with cream
sauce and a sprinkling of bread crumbs,
browned in the oven and served with
toast.
Black cod appeared again, steamed
this time, with anchovy sauce and gar
nishment of lemon and parsley. Mrs.
Spencer reiterated her advice for the
purchase and use of black cod. a fish
that is cheap in price, but high in food
value and very, palatable. v
The lessons, which are given under
the auspices of the municipal fish mar
ket," are designed to create a wider ap
preciation and use of the food fishes
of the Pacific Coast. In her talk Mrs.
Spencer stated that only eight pounds
of fish is used, per capita by the people
of the Pacific states in one year. She
warned that the effect of the war may
drive meat prices yet higher, and that
the virtues of fish should be understood
in preparation for such a contingency.
The fourth demonstration of the
series will be given at the Powers
building on Saturday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock.
5-CENT SHOWS MUST PAY
War Tax Aplies to Theaters Which
Increase Prices at Night.
Interpreting the war tax as applied
to- theaters, the Treasury Department
has ruled, that where the maximum
charge of admission at matinees is 5
cents and- a greater charge is made for
the evening performance, the tax will
be due and collectible only on admis
sions to the night performance, but It
will apply on all 6-cent admissions at
night, as well as to the higher admis
sions. The same ruling has been, made
with reference to theaters having con
tinuous performances and charging
only 6 cents during certain hours of
the day and then increasing the admis
sion charge for the remaining hours of
the day, although retaining also a min
imum admission of 5 cents.
"la such, cases," says the depart-
VJ V7
125 Broadway
ment. "the tax is due only on admis
sions paid alter the timn when the in
creased charge takes effect, but is due
on all admissions paid after such time,
including admissions not exceeding X
cents."
Bona fide- employes of the theater,
munifipal officer. on official business
and children under 12 years of asre
when admitted free are exempt from
the tax. All other persons admitted
free are subject to the tax the same as
parties paying for admission.
