thoroughfares of the city, fairly teem

Salvation Army drive, explained the
lack of activity at the clubr-oma.
Every available member of the lodge
waa "doing his bit" to bring Portlands
total to a point that will mean over
subscription of the quota.
at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
with returns Incomplete, a total of
$28,961 waa shown. Figures from the
various precincts were not included in
this total, and confidence waa ex
pressed that proceeds of the auction
sale of late afternoon and "high Jinks"
of last night would prove most valuable
in sending the indicator to a much
higher figure.

Court Holds Whether Mother Is
Sirs. Lewis or Sioux Indian
"Woman Immaterial.
SPOKANE, June 25 Closing areru
ments in the case of William H. ( Lone
star") Dietz. former Washington State
college and Mare Island marines foot
ball coach, were submitted to a Jury in
United States district court here this
afternoon. Dletz is charged on two
counts with false registration for the
draft and with falsifying nis draf
questionnaire.
The government called in rebuttal
two women, former residents of Rice
Lake, Wis., Dietz' former home, to re
fute testimony given yesterday by Mrs.
Lenna Howard Lewis on behalf of the
defense that several days elapsed be
tween the birth of her son and the sub
stitutlon by William Wallace Dietz, the
defendant s father, of an Indian baby,
whom tha defense claims is the de
fendant.
The case was given to the jury at 2
PT M.. after Judge Rudkin had deliv
ered his Instructions.
Intentions Held Factor.
The court declared It immaterial
whether the defendant's mother is Mrs.
Leanna Howard Lewis, as the govern
ment maintains, or a Sioux Indian
woman, as claimed by the defense, as in
either case Dietz is an American cltl
sen. The determining factor, the court
held, was whether the defendant know
lngly falsified when he stated in his
questionnaire that he was a non-citizen
Indian, that he was born on the
Pine Ridge Indian reservation and that
he had received a government allot
ment.
"Js not 'Lone Star Dietz the type of
the man who fought to keep out of the
American army? Is he not the type of
the slacker? .When he got on the wit
ness stand and called his dead father
licentious and asked his mother to deny
his birth, thereby making of himself
an illegitimate, did be not show that
he was the type, the kind of person
slackers are made of?
"Gentlemen of the Jury, I don't aBk
you to believe the incredulous. That's
why I don't ask you to believe the tes
timony of Mrs. Lewis, who calls her
self the foster-mother of the defendant
Dietz. Do you believe that any woman
who has lived with her husband for
five years as Mrs. Lewis had with Will
iam Wallace Dletz and who gives birth
to a still-born child will take to her
breast and nurse and nourish the prod
uct of the adultery of her husband? I
don't ask you to believe that.
Versatility Is Suggested.
"But that is not the issue, as a matter
of fact. Sensational features, almost
fictional, have crept into this case, and
because of the defendant's prominence,
so that the issue has become almost
clouded.
"The issue is whether or not on
September 12, 1918. when Dietz regis
tered as a non-citizen Indian, he lied.
Whether, when he filled out his ques
tionnaire and said he was not a citi
zen, that he was born on the Pine Ridge
Indian reservation, and that he had
received a government allotment, he
knew he lied.
"Dietz has shown himself to be ver
satile as to his birth or parentage to
fit the case. When the estate of his
father was probated he was an American-born
child, the son of William
Dietz and Leanna Dietz (Lewis), be
cause he had a chance thereby to get
some money. He became an Indian
when he realized that he could make
more money at the Indian business
than he could in any other line.
"Gentlemen, Dietz has been a con
summate success as an impostor and
in his capacity as posing as the fam
ous One Star. He has made money by
It. and there lies the crux.
"The Question is whether he falsi
fled his questionnaire and whether he
made false claims.

The Science of
eing Useful
Business is the state of being busy.
American business is the entire Amer
ican people in the business of providing
itself with a living.
Only through the usefulness of all can
everything be done which must be done,
and everyone rewarded who does it
Swift & Company, with other great
American businesses, interprets its mission
as more than the mere Science of Making
Money.
It realizes the surest way to make
money is to prove its usefulness; that the
more useful a business is the more suc
cessful it must be because it is a greater
benefit to mankind.
Today's success of Swift & Company
is a measure of the quantity and quality
of its usefulness of the number of people
it-helps, and the number of ways and the
degrees in which it benefits them.
