Bartlett, route No. 2. Salem, y y casualty list today contained E6 " - names, divided as follows: 4; WASHINGTON. June 28. President Wilson today sent to the Senate the names of eight new Major-Generals and 43 Brigadier-Generals of the Na tional Army to fill vacancies now ex isting in the military service. Moat of the men advanced in rank are now serving in France and the se lections are' those of General Pershing. Officers in this country were se lected by General March, chief of staff, and in both cases the lists show that capabilities of the officer and not his seniority in the service governed his selection. General Pershing's list includes two National Guard Colonels Cornelius Vanderbilt and John H. Sherburne to bo Brigadier-Generals. The others are all regulars. . Following are the nominations: To be Major-Generals Mason M. Patrick, Edward M. Lewis, William J. Snow. William It. Smith. Peter K. Traub, William S. LJraves. James G. Harbord and Charles P.

In making up his list of Major-Generals General Pershing showed his es timation of his former chief of staff, Brigadier-General James G. Harbord, recently assigned to command the Marine brigade. It was a part of this brigade which figured in the fighting about Chateau Thierry which has brought new honor to the Marine Corps. General March also has shown his appreciation of his chief assistant, Brigadier-General William S. Graves, who has been closely connected with the development of the war army, first as secretary to the general staff under Generals Scott and Bliss and later as first assistant to the chief of staff, under General March. It is regarded as probable that Gen eral Graves' promotion will mean his early assignment to service in the field, instead of with the general staff. Among the new Brigadiers the selec tion of Colonel MacArthur, now chief of staff of the Rainbow division and formerly the press censor of the War Department during the Mexican border trouble and the first months of the war, attracted attention. MacArthur'a Record Good. The officer's record both in the or ganization of the "Rainbow division," the first National Guard force to go over, and later in the trenches, where he was decorated by the French com mander for gallant service and was wounded in action, won him his ad vancement as he was a major of the Engineer Corps when war was de clared. Officers here viewed the list of pro motions as a strong one. It was ap parent that the policy of selection for merit, regardless of the relative rank of an officer, now is firmly fixed throughout the Army. Harold C. Fiske. appointed a Brigadier-General, is from Salem, Or., having been appointed & cadet at West Point from there. His lrothr, V. P. Fisk. is postmaster at Dallas. W. S. S.

Auditor and Mrs. Campbell, of the Multnomah, who have been on a vaca tion in Southern California for three weeks, returned with the Blakes. Mr. Blake said: "Although Mr. Campbell did not do any of the driving, he worked just as hard as I did, watching the roadbed and keeping us out of the chuckholes." The Blakes have rented apartments at Wellesley Court for the Summer. W. 8. S. BCY THE LIMIT MR. DOLPH GETS VERDICT Portland Attorney Wins Judgment in Recovery Action. A verdict of $2637 was last night awarded Chester V. Dolpti in his suit against Harriet F. Speckart. The case was tried before a jury in Judge Tuck er's court. The case resulted from a contract between Mr. Dolph and Mirs Speckart, in which Mr. Dolph was to act as her attorney in a controversy over her father's estate. Mr. Dolph secured set tlements which would have amounted to $100,000 had Miss Speckart accepted them. She refused and discharged him and took E. E. Heckbert as her attor ney in a new suit against her mother. He succeeded in collecting $56,000, from which he kept $15,000 as his fee. In September, 1909, his client sued him for the return of his fee. The jury decided that Mr.' Dolph had not agreed to the cancellation of hi-5 contract with Miss Speckart. that he had performed his duty as her lawyer, and that he was entitled to his fee. W. S. S.

POLICEMAN 1ST NIGHTGOWN PUR SUES DAYTIME BURGLAR. Bramble Bushes Too Much for Flimsy Garments and Officer Johnson Seeks Seclusion. Police Officer P. R. Johnson yester day received a, strong reminder of his nursery rhyme days in the form of bramble bush scratches over his limbs and body. And it was all on account of a bold, bad robber. When the officer was peacefully slumbering in mid-afternoon a house breaker essayed to pay his home at 750 Woodward avenue a quiet visit. The thief, however, was not quiet enough, for the officer suddenly awakened and. intuitively recognizing the presence of an intruder, sprang from his bed in an endeavor to capture the robber. The latter tarried just long enough to see an elongated individual clad only In a flimsy nightie. The race was on. The thief darted through the back door, jumped through the screened-in porch, hopped through blackberry bushes, over bean poles and vaulted a fence or two. In close pur suit came Officer Johnson, but when the second high fence was reached the officer suddenly noted that the effects of the chase over an unbeaten path' had rendered him more or less decollete. He beat a hasty retreat back to his home; the thief made good his escape and the neighbors had been treated to a thrilling entertainment that they will not forget soon. W. S. S. BUY THE LIMIT C. C.
