he told them he never got up that early,

Last night, between acls of "The Bird
of Paradise," In which beautiful play
Mr. Nelaon Is appearing as Hewehewa,
priest of Pee. who drags Luana. the
little Hawaiian Prtncesa. to her de
struction, he told about it.
"Like Tennyson's iueen of the May
I shall be awakened early, he said.
The first time I visited Portland
nothing of this sort would have hap
pened. There were no speed lawa.
That was lt me e" he reflected
moment "that was In 1844. and I came
to th New Market with the famous
preacher-actor. George C. Miln. In
Shakespearean repertoire. I waa hia
leading man.
bke peare Deemed Taawpalar.
"George Miln held one of the finest
pulpila In Chicago." ald Mr. Nelson. In
reminiscent mood. "He followed Robert
t'ulller. and when I asked him once
why he left an assured position at ten
thousand real dollars a year to come
barn-storming, b replied. "Well. I'd
told the church goers all I knew and
1 figured I'd better get out while I
could."
Mr. Nelson, who Is one of the few
remaining Shakespearean artists of
other days. Is of the opinion that the
hard Is unpopular today because we're
advancing o rapidly. " It's the rush of
tha time, be says, "only schoolboy
and girls and sn older generstion are
interested In Shakespeare any more,
and many of the, who are real lovers
of the poet's works, prefer to resd him
In quiet rather than have their Illu
sions destroyed by the productions we
see today.
"Shakespeare In the golden days
needed no pageantry. The play was
truly the t,ltlng."
Then we came to the story of why
Mr. 'elson waa booked to be among
those present In polite police circles
this morning.
The manager of the "Bird of Para
dise" Is Ben Giroul. Chlcagroan. and
since Mr. Nelson is in the company
and a Chlcagoan, too. the pair have
become tlllicums. as we say out here.
and hobnob fraternally everywhere
they go.
Enter now another Chlcagoan and
also an old friend of Mr. Glroux and
Mr. Nelson in the person of one Frank
Janesbersr. who will possibly be pleased
to see him name here and In the police
new, too. this day.
Mr. Janesberg has a car. and while
Mr. Nelson doesn't remember the make.
It's "some" car, he says.
Yesterday Mr. Janesberg asked the
pleaaure of Mr. Glroux' company and
the pleasure of Mr. Nelson's company
on a ride to see the Columbia Highway.
Highway la Viewed.
"Fortunately." says Mr. Nelson, "our
host drove slowly as we went out. and
so I really got to see the magnificent
scenery. It Is the most Impressive view
I hsve ever seen and I will never for
get It. We went as far as Multnomah
Kails. That Is all I remember, for our
friend, figuring we had seen the scen
ery, drove home like msd. Mountains,
cliffs, rivers rolled by as In a pano
rama until a gentle voice floated into
our ear. Stop! vv e did.
"The voire continued gently that it

say. But. added the voice, 7011 cer
tainly were going fast
"let, we echoed to a man, we cer
tainly were going fast. We have an

"The officer smiled wearily. It was
spparently an old line with him. He
took our number. So we all have to
be there at s o'clock. I didn't know
anyone but the milkman was abroad
at that hour. Yes," he added. "Portland

While making it plain that he looked

Suicide Follows Arrest.
NAPA. Cat.. Feb. . Following hia
arrest on a charge of selling liquor to
soldiers, the body of Frank Dostal. an
aged retired rancher of this district,
was found hanging to a rafter In his
barn here today. Dostal was arrested
with J. II. Siefert, a Napa taxicab man.
on charges that they had purchased
large quantities of liquor to be resold
to soldiers.
SALEM. Or., Feb. 8. (Special.) The
State Board of Control today Instructed
Superintendent Gilbert, recently named
as head of the State Training School,
to Institute a number of reforms at
that school.
Each boy must have a physical ex
amination when entering the institu
tion: each boy on parole must report at
least once a month or Immediately be
returned to the school, and the super
intendent must secure from the com
mitting magistrate a history of each
boy that is received.
It developed that one of the boys
recently released from the school to
Join the Army has had a bad record
and that Judge Tazwell, of Portland,
has sent a warning to the board as to
his record, but the board had no knowl
edge ot such past record owing to the
faulty manner of keeping such histo
ries at the school in the past. As a
result the boy has been completely re
leased from control of the school and
cannot be returned.
Measle Case Aeeepted.
It also developed that' a short time
ago a boy was sent to the school from
the Fortl&nd Juvenile Court suffering
from the measles and In such bad con
dition that his entrance to the school
could not be refused.
Another boy was received suffering
from a dangerous contagious disease
This boy was sent from Hood River
County and has been kept at the
school. Superintendent Gilbert ex
plained, because he did not know ex
actly what to do with him otherwise.
The superintendent was instructed
in the future to refuse to accept such
cases and, if necessary, the board would
back him up in a test case to determine
how far he has authority under the
law to refuse to accept boys under
commitments when they are suffering
from diseases that threaten the health
of the other Inmates.
Geveraor Score Superintendent,
The superintendent deplored the fact
at the board meeting that only a small
percentage of the boys turned out on
parole are reporting regularly and
Governor Withycombe mildly scored
him for not securing reports.
"Tou will allow the discipline at the
institution to be disrupted if you fail
to get such reports," he said to the
superintendent. "In the future the
boys should report each month or be
returned."
As a result of the conference the re
forms insisted upon by the board will
be placed into effect. All committing
magistrates will be asked to furnish
the history of cases being sent to the
school and if this request is not ac
ceded to the board may go so far as to
eventually refuse to accept commit
ments which are not accompanied by
such histories. The same course prob
ably will be pursued In relation to boys
who are sent to the institution suffer
ing from diseases, and if necessary
they will be returned to the counties
from which they are committed in the
hands of a special agent of the state.

Attorneys M. A. Langhorne, of Ta
coma. and H. E, Donohoe. of Chehalis,
representing Oscar R. Main, who is ac
cused of th murder of Fred H. Swayne
at Napavine on the night of January
It. today opened their legal battle
against the state by filing a motion in
the Lewis County Superior Court to
disqualify Sheriff John F. Berry from
having any further official connection
with the caae. insofar as serving snp
penas on Jurors or witnesses is con
cerned.
Judge W. A. Reynolds will hear argu
ments Monday on the motion. C. P.
and I'hilip Lloyd are named in the no
tion. as well as are Jennings Linhart
and Mr. Wagner, as witnesses whom
Sheriff Berry is alleged to have at
tempted to unduly influence by advis
ing not to say anything in regard to
the caae.
C. P. Lloyd is alleged to have forbid
the attorneys for Main from seeing his
son, I'hilip Lloyd, and it is claimed
that he has posted parties at the pub
lic school at Napavine to keep th at
torneys from seeing him.
The motion further claims that Berry
has been active in working up the
state's caae against Main to, such an
extent that his action is unwarranted,
arbitrary and unlawful.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. Heatless
Mondays have been suspended in all
states south of Virginia. In announc
ing this today. Fuel Administrator Gar
field said improved weather ajid traffic
conditions had made further enforce
ment in the South unnecessary.
It was announced also that in all
other states in which the order is op
erative, fuel may be furnished on fu
ture Mondays to heat and light lofts
and workshops occupied by members
of the International Allied Garment
Workers' Union.
Fuel Administration officials were
hopeful that the continued warm
weather and improvement in railroad
traffic would permit relaxation of the
order all over the United States after
next Monday.
As Saturday will be observed gener
ally as a half holiday and as next Tues
day is Lincoln s birthday anniversary.
there will be a three and one-half-day
shut-down? Officials believe this will
go far toward relieving the situation.
The original programme called for the
last heatless Monday on March 35.
Elimination of one-third of the pres
ent electric railway stops is under con
sideration by the Fuel Administration
as a means of saving' fuel supplies. Ex
perts estimate that enforcement of the
plan would conserve more than 1.500,000
tons of coal annually.
In cities stops would be limited to
eight to the mile, in suburban not more
than four to the mile.

"He'a Good, although he looks bad,"

Judge Rossman scrutinized the pris

abusive language to his wife.
"What happened to you?" inquired
the Judge.
'I attended kangaroo court last
night," replied Good, "and they beat
me up because I didn't have any

"You mean they beat you up this
morning?" queried Mr. Deich.
"No. I was up first this morning,"
replied the prisoner.
"Your honor," said Mr. Deich, "this
man got pretty saucy to his wife: he
tore the phone off the wall at their
home, 246 Burnside street, where he
runs a grocery, and got very rambunctious."
"Your wife didn't hit you, did she?"
asked the Judge.
' "Never," said Good. "She's the best

wants a divorce and I told her to go

Government printing office at Wash
ington, due to war legislation, draft
registration, liberty bonds and other
war activities," said Mr. Miller yester-.
day, "there has been considerable delay
in furnishing necessary forms. The
difficulties have been increased by
shortage of labor and materials and by
demoralization of the mail service on
account of severe storms in the East.
"Several of the forms required in con
nection with income tax returns have
not yet arrived, but I hope that they -will
be received in the course of a few days.
Meanwhile, the' force is busy taking
care of taxpayers who call at the office,
and we urge all those having business
with the office to arrange as soon as
possible to call."
