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. "

the
TOMING scenery, the Wyoming

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

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

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.

the state forestry board will be held at

land and from the Pacific ocean to the'
Cascade mountains.

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.

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

say they will never sign a closed-shop
agreement, although they have always
been willing to pay the wages asked by
the union.

Everything that is big
has had its small beginning
At some time the large fortune
was small, but it gre,w.
Your fortune may be now in its
infancy; you may not have more
than a dollar that doesn't need to
be spent at once for some necessity.
But put that dollar away, in a
safe place; let it draw interest;
by and by put another dollar with
it, and then another and another.
Like a child your fortune will grow,
steadily, surely.
In time, what you have put
aside, added to what your savings
have earned, will amount to enough
to make a good investment. You
have made the beginning of your fortune.
Suppose you begin saving for that first dollar, today.
One of our savings banks will prove a constant reminder. to
save. Soon you will have enough to open a savings account, a
step which we will be very glad to help you take.
Why not come today or tomorrow?
