PRINGLE NAMED Resident Here 3 0 Years Said to Have Husband in Scotland. Judge Investigates. The propriety of retaining as chief probation officer for girls in the court of domestic relations a woman who is not a citizen of the United States was a question brought to the atten tion of Jacob Kanzier, judge, yes terday by Walter H. Evans, district attorney. There is no legal bar. believes Mr. Evans, to the employment of Mrs. Mary K. Pringle, whom Judge Kanz ier appointed to fill the vacancy which will be caused by relieving Mrs. Delia Whiting on September 30, though she is a citizen of Scotland and has never been naturalized, the sole point raised being one of pro priety. Mrs. Pringle received a high, rat ing from the child welfare commis sion and was warmly recommended by Mrs. Millie R. Trumbull, secretary of the commission, to replace the head of the girls' department during the recent shake-up in the court of domestic relations which resulted in the discharge of four employes held over from the j-uvenile court. Judge Will Investigate. Judge Kanzier said yesterday that the fact that Mrs. Pringle was not a citizen came as news to him and that he desired to investigate prec edents for the employment of per sons who are not. citizens in public positions before making any state ment. He said, however, that he did not. as a rule, think anyone not naturalized should hold office, but that he felt inclined to consider Mrs. Pringie almost as a citizen, due to her 30 years' residence in the United States and several efforts to acquire citizenship. Mrs. Pringle, though listed in the city directory as the widow of J. R. Pringle, is said to have a husband living in Scotland who proves a per manent bar to her becoming a citi zen of the United States. District Attorney Evans received information yesterday that there were possibilities that protests would be made against the holding of the position by Mrs. Pringle, on the ground that she could not continue in the office legally. After satisfy ing himself that the requirement of citizenship from one holding a public office referred only to persons elected and not appointed. Mr. Evans took the matter up with Judge Kanzier, as a proposition in which he believed the judge would be interested. Mm. Pringle Took Oath. Trior to her appointment to the. court of domestic relations, already in effect, Mrs. Pringle was attendance officer in the employ of the school board. On April 2, 1918, when an oath of allegiance was required of all em ployes of the school department, Mrs. Pringle took oath before I. M. Griffin, notary, that she was a citizen of the United States and as such would uphold the laws of this country. Other employes who were not nat uralized took the oath of allegiance on a special form prepared, in which allegiance to the United States alone was sworn, and fealty to any other country or foreign potentate re nounced. At the Theaters. Hippodrome. PORTRAYAL of 10 distinctive fem inine characters in rapid succes sion is accomplished by Marion Mun son in the few brief minutes she is before the Hippodrome audience in a little sketch entitle! "The Ten Dol lar Bill." Miss Munson is a lightning change artist and barely needs to step out of a doorway and back to be garbed in en entirely different costume. Her versatility is remarkable and she takes the part of almost every type from a child to an aged grandmother. The skit in which she appears has an extraordinary story dealing with a clever secret service woman, who, by her ability to disguise herself, wrings a confession from the man who hires her to run down a stolen plate for engraving J10 bills. All the thrills of a one-ring circus lriay be enjoyed in the act put on by the Ellis Nowlan company, who call themselves the "merry monarchs of the sawdust arena." Two clowns, two tumblers and a pretty girl en tertain with comic stunts intermingled with good acrobatics. The crowning triumph is the appearance of a trained horse which "shimmies" to the music. As the dance becomes more compli cated, the horse works apart and proves to be a fake. As the curtain goes down the head and forelegs are tseen running about the stage search ing for the remainder of the polka Jotted equinine. Jack and June Laughlin. who have come direct from Bayes theater. New York, put on several novelty dances. Miss Laughlin appearing in the new est bizarre apparel. One of her best liked numbers is a prime semi-colonial step executed in a dainty hoop skirt. Several new songs are introduced by Hall and Tyson in their number, "I Want a Kiss." Billy and Sina Crackles have for the opening number a com bination of music, comedy and danc ing. Lew A. Ward tells a number of funny stories and gives his own in terpretation of several familiar char acters, the make-up for which he pro duces from his vest pocket. The Hippodrome bill Is completed with a Kathleen Clifford film, "The Law That Divides," and a news weekly. SHRINE PLANS ARE MADE Eugene. Prepares to Entertain on Xight of October 3. EUGENE, Or..

On Sunday the Strand will change its programme to "Checkers" the great racing melo drama. "Checkers" is the story of a race won by a Kentucky tnorougnDrea. The mare is owned by an irate judge who is made furious by his pretty daughter's declaration of love for a, famous jockey called "Checkers." De spite her father's fury the girl and Checkers determine to enter the horse in a contest to be held in New York. How they get the horse on the train, how the train speeds through an open drawbridge, ho a seaplane later res-, cues the little party and how a fight staged in Chinatown is won form just part of the excitement of the picture. The climax comes when the girl finds that "Checkers" has been detained and herself rides the horse to victory. An entirely new concert programme has been arranged by Phillip Pelz, director of the 25-piece Strand or- hestra. ' Its feature numbers wtll be selections from "Pagliacci and the second part of the "Hungarian Rhap sody." opular numbers will be added in response to encores. - Charles Ray has been the son of his father, so now he is "His Mother's Boy," and a real boy he turns out to be in the picture of that name, which opens at the Sunset theater Saturday morning. The star is a known success and the vehicle has met with unprece dented success. People who have never seen an oil field in operation will have their op portunity at the showing of this fea ture. A great part of the story is in a Texas oil field, where Ray, as Matthew Denton, works in an effort to repay his dead father's creditors. The story of "His Mother's Boy" is taken from the novel, "When Life Is Marked Down," by Major Ru pert Hughes. The romance running through the film version is a typical Hughes love affair and Doris Lee, in support of Mr. Ray, carries her part with more than usual ability. The fact that the villain of. the story is the father of Matthew Den ton's sweetheart makes a rather com plex situation, which la worked out to eventual happiness for both the young couple and the audience. Joe Martin, the biggest fool monkey on earth, appears on the programme in his latest escapade, "The Jazz Mon key." He monkeys around and draws a laugh a .minute while in action. Screen Gossip. The new Strand theater in Brook lyn, operated by the same interests as the original Strand in New York city, has followed the example of the par ent theater and booked "Topics of the Day," witty paragraphs selected from the world's press by the Literary Di gest. It will be recalled that the New York Strand first introduced this sub ject to the public. The services of H. H. Van Loan have been engaged for a feature story in which his star, Eugene O'Brien, is to play the leading part. Van Loan is writing a. screen drama entitled "Conscience" for Madaline Traverse. After "Conscience" has been com pleted he will begin work upon the O'Brien story. Mary Miles Minter was a guest of honor at the 28th annual baby parade at Asbury Park. N.

Von Stroheim has added, to his former am bition which was to make himself the most hated character on the screen an ambition to make himself one of the most noted directors, and the success of his first effort has up set all predictions of film critics. The feature which Elmo Lincoln started after his serial "Elmo, the Mighty," which still is running at the Columbia theater, has just been completed.

Richest Newspapermen 'Will -Return to New York; "Job Is . Worth It," He Says. TACOMA. Wash., "Sept. 25. (Spe cial.) Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr. thinks so much of the profession of jour nalism that he has given up a- hunt ing trip into the Canadian Rockies so he may return to New York and "sit in" on the Herald, where he is pursu-- ing the festive news item. Vander bilt was in Tacoma yesterday and the "world's' richest reporter" wrote a story for a local newspaper in which he praised the work-of the Salvation Army overseas and appealed for gen erous response to its appeal for aid. Then he went to Camp Lewis, where he viewed the cantonment from every angle and compared it with the time when 40,000 men were in training. He fraternized with scores of soldiers. "I want to make the trip into the Rockies above Banff," said Vander bilt; "but I had a telegram from the city editor and he ordered me back on the job. so I must give up pleasure and get back to the grind. The job Is worth the sacrifice, . though. All the crowd I've met so far are live wires." BOARD TO ADJUST CLAIMS Settlement .Promised Shipbuilders for Cancellations. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington.

CAPTAIN N0ICE REPORTED Schooner Challenge Total Loss, Says Telegram From Captain Al len ; Herman Reaches Home. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 25. (Spe cial.) Still safe and sound, the stout little schooner Teddy Bear, of which no definite news had been heard for more than a year, passed through Victoria straits, in the eastern Arctic, this summer, according to a cable gramme received today from Al exander Allen, veteran trader and navigator of the far north, who ar rived in Nome, Alaska, Tuesday on the schooner Sea Wolf, from Baily island. Commanded by Captain Joe Bern ard, the Teddy Bear sailed to the eastward in the summer of 1918 in an attempt to make the northwest passage. Captain Bernard planned to duplicate Amundsen's historic feat. Amundsen sailed from east to west, while Bernard attempted to sail from west to east, and planned to end his adventurous voyage in Newfoundland. Meager IS'ewa Received. Only the most meager news of the Teddy Bear has been received since then, but it is understood that sh was either in Coronation gulf or ofl the shores of Kent peninsula last fall. Whether the little vessel is still headed on the northwest passage ven ture is not disclosed in Captain Al len's cablegram. Victoria straits lie to the east of Kent peninsula. Captain Allen, in his cablegram, re ports that the schooner Challenge Is a total wreck. The vesRel formerly was owned by Captain Harold Noice of Seattle, now famed as the youngest arctic explorer and navigator in the world, but he sold the boat to the Hudson's Bay company at Bernard harbor late last summer. She was driven ashore a short time later and Captain Allen's mesage shows that there is no hope of saving her. Vncharted Shores Mapped. Captain Allen reports that Captain Noice is mapping the uncharted shores of North Victoria Land this season. A letter received from Cap tain Noice early in the summer re ported that the Canadian authorities would not allow arty white man to go to victoria Land this year, but Captain Allen's message is taken as an indication that the Seattle explor er probably succeeded In getting per mission to carry on the work of map ping the coast line. Captain Noice planned to do this work while trav eling eastward in a daring attempt to cross the top of the continent on foot. He is headed for Hudson's bay. A letter received yesterday by Cap tain Noice's parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Noice, 211 West Garfield street. from the Rev. H. Girling, one of the Episcopal missionaries stationed in Bernard harbor, speaks in the best terms of the explorer. Mr. Girling, who has just arrived at Montreal after a long journey overland from the Arctic, praises Captain Noice for the way he upholds in the Arctic the standards and traditions of civiliza tion. . The navigator is setting a good example for his followers. Now. as a result, the Eskimos are getting ore respect for the white man s civilization. Schooner Herman Arrive. Captain Allen reports the schooner Herman arriving in Nome from Banks land. Allen is noted in the far north as the man who made the first round overland "mush" between the mouth of the Mackenzie river to civilization in one winter season. He has made the round tilp several times. This information was given out by Storker T. Storkersen. who is asso- iated with Stefansson us second in command of the Canadian national Arctic expedition. Storkersen is In Seattle on his way to New York, to rejoin Stefansson. When Storkersen left Banff, Alberta, where ne has been staying for the last several weeks, Stefansson was at Calgary. "Data we have compiled from our investigations," said Mr. Storkersen yesterday, "show that the reindeer In-, dustry will unquestionably prove the greatest thing to increase the natural resources of Canada. There are a million square miles of land in north ern Canada ideally adapted for the purpose. As grazing land for rein deer it cannot be excelled." BURIED MONEY IS FOUND Farm of Chicago Postal Suspect Yields $4 2,500; Was in Can. CHICAGO. Sept. 25. With the re covery of $42,500 found buried on the farm of Onuery (John) Wejda, father of John S.

The Drager company and the H. S. Gile company are the other firms operating here. Products that Packers Se Their Number Grossly Exaggerated The Federal Trade Commission has published a list of some 640 articles said to be sold by the packers. This list is ridiculously padded in order to scare people into the belief that the packers are getting control of the food supply of the nation. For example, the list includes not only "beef sides" and "beef cuts," but also over 60 other items of beef products and by-products. Over 90 articles listed are not sold to the outside trade but are raw materials and supplies, such as brick, cement, etc., used by Swift & Company in carrying on its business. Glaring duplications appear, such as "sardines" and "canned sardines"; "butterine" and "oleomar garine"; "dried sausages" and "dry sausage," etc. The list includes 37 kinds of sausage; 4 dif ferent kinds or preparations of beef tongue, etc., etc Simmered down, Swift & Company handles in addition to meats and meat by-products, only butter, eggs, cheese, poultry, canned goods, lard substitutes, and to a very small extent, dried and salt fish. And the proportion which we handle of the total supply of any one of these is absurdly small. Do you want to be fooled by such misleading and ridiculous statements of the Trade Commission? Do you want radical legislation based on such absurd evidence? Swift & Company, "iirin n ," CONTEMPT ROIL "AT.MOSP11 EKK" 4 1IOMK "XO l.OXGKK IJKAKABLK." Koberl Cliatterton, In Divorce Sull.
