THE MORXIXG OEEGOXIAX, FRIDAY. AUGUST 8, 1919. OLCOTT MAY IGNORE QUALIFIED PETITIONS Multnomah Delegation Fails to Comply With Terms. PAPER IS SIGNED BY 19 Consideration of Issues Other Than Suffrage Is Firmly Opposed by Governor. SALETil. Or., Aus- (Special.) A petition signed by 19 members of the Multnomah county lesriHlatlve delega tion, resolutions adopted by the Cen tral Labor council of Portland and vicinity and he Amalgamated Associa tion of Street and Electric Railway employes, and several letters from in dividual members of the legislature requesting a special session of the law makers for the purpose of ratifying the woman's suffrage amendment to the federal constitution reached the ex ecutive offices today. Although the members of the Mult nomah delegation inform the governor that they are in favor of a special ses sion and will waive claims for per diem and mileage, their pledges do not con form to the demands of the governor who, in a recent statement, made it plain that he would not call the leg islators toarether unless they agreed not to consider any matters other than ratification of the amendment. All Do Not Halve Eipensw. Because of the failure of the Mult i omah county delegation to comply strictly with the terms laid down by the governor, doubt is expressed here as to whether their petition will be considered an unconditional appeal for a special session. A survey of the let ters thus far received 1 ndicate that not more than a dozen out of more than 40 legislators writing to the gov ernor have agreed to attend the ses sion without cost to the state and confine their work to ratification of the amendment. Just what action the governor will take in considering these letters is problematical, but his friends say he will be guided by his original an nouncement and that evasive replies will be discarded in the final analyels. Delegation Holds Meeting.' In his letter to the governor, inclos ing a petition signed by every member of the Multnomah delegation with the exception of Representative Joseph Richardson, who is employed in the of - fice c f the etate treasurer and was un able to be present at the conference of the legislators held in Portland, Senator W. W. Banks says: "I inclose herewith paper signed by 19 members of the Multnomah delega tion of the legislature, wherein said members agree to waive mileage and per diem in the event you see fit to call a special session of the legislature to ratify the proposed woman's suffrage amendment to the constitution of the United States. "At a meeting of the delegation held last night in my office the prevailing sentiment seemed to be that in the event the session is called for the above purpose that general legislation should not be indulged In, but confined to the matter of ratifying the amendment and such other corrective measures or mat ters of emergency demanding attention. Pay Sacrifice 3Tot Favored. I might say further, that the mem bers generally sem to feel that you should not have asked them to forego their mileage and per diem as at best it is a sacrifice for the members to at tend a session, especially those living some distance from the capital. How ever, they were willing to meet this condition in order to aid the women of other states who do not enjoy the right of suffrage to obtain the slrae at the earliest possible time." Resolutions received from the Cen tral Labor council of Portland and the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electrical Railway employes are identical in construction, and show the hand of the National Ratification league. Extra eavHion Is Opposed. Representative A. A. Smith of Baker in a second letter to the governor re garding the special legislative session, opposes a special session. He does not believe an emergency exists. He adds: t it is called, however. I would wish that it should be open to the transac tion of such business as may be neces sary to correct some of the errors made In the recent session." "I have received letters from dif ferent organizations rcrarding a spe cial session of the legislature," writes Representative W. V, Fuller of Polk county and agrees that if a special ses sion is called and the majority of the members waive their per diem and mile age he will do the same. Senator Orion Repeat Reqaext. Senator A. W. Or ton of Multnomah county has sent a second request for a special session of the legislature, through a form letter received at the executive offices today. Senator Orton obliterates from the letter the fol lowing pledge: "I am also willing to adhere to your st ipu la t ions that this extraordinary session should be con fined to the suffrage ratification only." Seymour Jones of Marion county, speaker of the house of representa tives during the last session of the legislature, urges that the session be ca tied. "I would advise the members of the legislature to be good sports and comply with the conditions imposed by the governor, was the comment of ex Oovernor Oswald West, who passed to day in Salem conferring with the cor poration department officials. "A little money spent by legislators in attending the proposed special ses sion of the legislature won't hurt any of them," said Mr. West, "and may prove beneficial in the event they con tinue to play the political game in Oregon. MEMBERS RIGHT IS ISSUE Participation in Session by Richard son Put I'p to House. SALEM. Or.. Aug. 7. (Special. ) The question of whether Representa tive Joseph Richardson of Multnomah county is qualified to sit as a member of the legislature in case the governor calls a special session is a matter en tirely in the hands of the members of the lower house, in the opinion of at torneys connected with the state gov ernment. This assertion is based. It is said, on Uie provisions of section 2, article 4. of the constitution, which is to the effect that the legislature Itself shall be judge of the qualifications of its members. It is believed that this part of the constitution takes precedence over section 10, article 2. which pro vides that "no person holding lucra tive office or appointment under the United States or this state shall be eligible to a seat in the legislative as sembly.

A Wtomi: spirii the TOMING scenery, the Wyoming rit and Wyoming frontier life ese are the dominatinng factors that go to complete Douglas Fairbanks popularity in "The Man From Painted Post which will open tomorrow at the Sunset theater. The picture will run until Wednesday. "The Man From Painted Post" is the screen story of a tenderfoot who makes good, despite jeers and ridicule from the old hands. It breathes the bigness and simpleness of the section that is now the true frontier of the west, as well as the little idiocy ncrasies and peculiarities that go hand in hand with isolation from the conventionality and old world culture. Tne humor of "The Man From Paint ed Post" is delightful. "Doug's" big, kindly smiles are sup plemented by truly clever situations and plot work. The captions that run through the entire drama are -said to be strong. .Prairie Rose, known to those who have yearly seen wild west sports at Pendleton, as the holder of many med als for trick riding and roping, appears in the production. With her is her hus band, John Judd, champion rope spin ner and broncho bireter, who also has an important role in "The Man From Painted Post." Screen Gossip. Joe Martin, Universale ?10,000 orang outang, received his first fan letter recently. It was addressed to Mr. Joe Rang-a-Tang and read: "Dear Joe I have recently seen one of your plays and enjoyed it very much; if it wouldn't be too much trouble would love to have your photograph. Sin cerely, Frances Hyde, 318 North Wilton place. Los Angeles." Joe is now think ing of engaging a social secretary. Henry Lehrman was called to the phone at his new studios last week to be advised that a large party expected to visit the plant late that afternoon. No names were given, but the producer had visions of a call from the city coun cil or some other awe-inspiring body, and appropriate arrangements were made for their reception. Finally Roscoe Arbuckle hove into sight alone. "Did you get my message? he asked. "Where's the large party that was coming down today?" countered Henry Lehrman. Fatty looked himself over for a mo ment. "I am the large party." quoth he. While staying at Santa Crua taking scenes for "M'Liss." Mary Fiokford met Mrs. Josephine Clifford McCrackin and heard from her own lips how she had worked since 1900 to have the famous redwoods preserved. As a result of her work, in 1902 the state of California purchased 3800 acres of redwood forest, which was named California Redwood Park, and thus the basin of majestic trees was saved. Mrs. Mc Crackin. who is 80 years old, came to "interview" Miss Pickford during her stay at Santa Cruz, and later formally announced that she had adopted Mary as her granddaughter. m m m Shortly before the arrival of her son it was rumored in Hollywood that Mrs. Chaplin had planned to resume her screen work in the fall, and that she had been given a $100,000 bonus by Louts Mayer to sign a very lucrative contract, but th Is was not s-enerallv credited. Then there was talk about! Husband Charlie objecting, he being a millionaire, and that he knew nothing about the contract until it had been signed. It developed that there was some truth in the latter, as negotia tions were conducted without the par ticipation of the world's funniest man. Jack Perrin. who supported Olive Thomas In "The Girl From Paris." which was shown recently at the Co lumbia theater, and who was starred In "Two Men of Tinted Butte." a two-reel western drama, has been engaged to co-star with Josephire Hill in a series of two-reel westerns. They better hadn't say "water stuff" to Torn Meighan for a while at least. In the leading role of the screen ver sion of, "The Admirable Crichton." Tom was shipwrecked off the rocky coast of Santa Cruz island somewhere between Hollywood and Honolulu with a heavy loss of epidermis before he was res cued from the swirling waters of the Pacific Then the sun and salt air caused an epidemic of facial blisters, with Tom the leading victim. Then came the scenes in which the only ap parel worn was constructed from goat skins and portions of his anatomy not hitherto affected underwent some scorching that made his life miserable the rest of the time. Violet Mersereau. who has been off screen a good many months. Is to come back as the star in "Love Wins." a pro duction by a new firm. It may be men tioned that when Universal made a complete trek west its trek was not complete after all, for Mies Mersereau held a contract saying that she was to work in and about New York, and no where else. So she finished her con tract there. Having completed what will perhaps rank as her greatest film subject, "In Old Kentucky," Anita Stewart has started on a big vacation which is ex pected to last well into the fall. "In Old Kentucky," a version of the old stage melodrama by Charles Dazey, for the film rights of which the latter re ceived $30,000 plus some royalties, was directed by Marshall Neilan. Director "Mickey" is now eniraeed on the first of his own productions with pretty lit tle Margery Daw as the star. It will be known as "The Eternal Three," the visualization of a Randall Parrlsh novel. Miss Stewart's next production is to be "The Yellow Typhoon," adapted from the story by Harold McGrath. Mae Murray will be the featured player In "On With the Dance." Many have been the rumors about this little blonde domestic rumors about a con templated retirement, dramatic rumors about a return to the stage and it de velops that there is something in the latter; she is to make an appearance on the legitimate in the fall. m m m A new male star is to illumine the film heavens before long. He is Bernard Durning. the handsome young husband of Shirley Mason. "Bernie" had about six years' experience with Fdison and Metro in the directorial end of the game, at which he was perfectly will ing to remain, but the magnates de clared that he was too good looking to be a director and drafted him for the actorlal side. His first stellar appear ance will take place In the visualization of Charles Neville Buck's "When Bear cat Went Drv." Plan for Operating Eight Machines in Locating Fires Will Be Com pleted at Session Today. SALEM, Or., Aug. 7. (Special.) Four giant army planes for forest Are patrol service in Oregon arrived In Salem at 6 o'clock tonight after making the flight from Medford without stop. Four other planes, including those driven by Major A. D. Smith, in charge of the fleet. Lieutenant L C. Kiel and Ser geant Frank McKee, are thought to have remained in Roseburg or Eugene tonight and will reach the capital early tomorrow. The six planes, leaving Mather field yesterday, reached Medford last night, where they were met by Lieutenant Kiel and Sergeant McKee, in charge of the advance guard of craft. Forestry Board Will Meet. With the exception of engine troubfe encountered by Major ' Smith while crossing the Siskiyou mountains yes terday, the trip was uneventful. In compliance with orders from Colonel Arnold, officer of the air service for the western division, with headquarters at San Francisco, Major Smith will for mally report to Governor Olcott tomorrow. A little later in the day a meeting of the state forestry board will be held at the capitol, when final plans for start ing actual patrol operations will be outlined. The proposed daily patrol will cover practically all the timbered sections of western Oregon from Medford to Port land and from the Pacific ocean to the' Cascade mountains. Promise of hangars at both Rose burg and Salem . have been received and it is believed that operations will get under way by Monday. Other Patrols to Be Established. Major Smith will leave Salem later and fly to points in Montana, Idaho and to the Canadian border, where similar patrol service will be established. Formal assignment of at least three of the planes to Roseburg is expected not later than Saturday. JROSEBURG. Or.. Aug. 7. Special.) With.N seven aeroplanes visiting the Roseburg aviation field today, the fly ing game took on new interest. The first squadron of four machines left Medford at 9:50 and 85 minutes later dropped in at the new Roseburg field bordering on the south Umpqua river, south of the city. In making the landing. Sergeant La jot te, the last of the quartet, caused a sensation when a little girl ran across the path laid out for the machine. Aviator "Pancakes" Machine. The aviator, quickly sensing the peril of the child, "pancaked" his plane at a height of about SO feet, bringing it sud denly to earth. The damage was slight and after temporary repairs the ser geant took the air with the other ma chines at 2 o'clock and headed for Salem. Shortly after the first fleet had dls appeared over the northern horizon the second squadron dropped down after a successful flight over the forests be tween Medford and Roseburg. MEDFORD, Or., Aug. 7. (Special.) The six army airplanes detailed for forest fire patrol work In Oregon left this morning for the north, followed this afternoon by the two planes piloted by Lieutenant Kiel and Ser geant McKee.

Will Not Shop Emphatic denial of a report in an afternoon paper yesterday tnat a set tlement is expected shortly between the striking Jewelers and employers was made yesterday by one of the leading retail Jewelers, who said that there has been no conference, nor wilt there be any unless the strikers recede from their present position. "The employing retail Jewelers win make no concession of any kind." was the statement given out last evening. Before the strike was cauea we an nounced our position to a committee of labor delegates, and we have not re ceded from this position in any manner whatsoever." The principal difference between tne strikers and employers is over the closed-shop" question. The employers say they will never sign a closed-shop agreement, although they have always been willing to pay the wages asked by the union.
