PLYMOUTH, Nov. 14. (By the As
sociated Press.) Lady Astor, unionist
candidate for parliament, had a tri
umphal passage through the normally
quiet streets of Plymouth today after
a tumultuous meeting which concluded
the city's most gripping parliamen
tary campaign in years. Lady Astor
took her leave of her last audience
in the guild hall. --"
"Jly victory." she said in her speech,
"will be another historic occasion for
Plymouth. Plymouth sent out Drake
to fight for freedom. It Is now send
ing out a woman to a great place
called parliament."
A black cat stalked leisurely across
the front of the platform and there
was a renewed outburst of applause
and a shout from the back of the hall
"You are certain to win now."
Standing on the back seat of her
carriage Lady - Astor joined in the
singing of 'Haii, Hail, the Gang's All
Here" and "Pack Your Troubles in
Your Old Kit Bag," which was started
by the soldiers, and thus a proces
sion unparalleled in the city con
tinued into Mie heart of the other
wise deserted business section to the
Astor home.
Lady Astor announced tonight that
she would vote at 9 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
Many Send Messages.
Lady Astor today received numer
ous letters expressing wishes for her
success. Rear-Admiral Harry S.
Knapp, commanding the United States
naval forces in European waters,
wrote:
"I hope you will allow me to offer
good wishes on your election."
Admiral Sims from New York Bent
the following message:
"Cheer up. A clean soul and a stout
heart cannot lose in England."
Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson of New
York, sister of Lady Astor, sent a
similar mftssage.
During the meeting Mrs. Lyttelton
denounced the criticism of Lady Astor
on account of her American birth as
idiotic. '
The appearance today of Mrs. Da
vid Lloyd George, wife of the British
premier, in the campaign in support
of Lady Astor, marked the climax of
one of the most unusual political bat
tles ever fought in Plymouth.
Women )leckle Speakers.
Although at the meeting addressed
by Mrs. Lloyd George only women
were present, it was featured by the
most determined attempt made by
the opposition to silence speakers by
the use of hecklers. Lady Astor also
spoke.
At one point, when a forced discon
tinuance of the meeting appeared to
be threatening, Lady Astor took the
floor and faced the hecklers with de
fiance. "I have told you that I am not
ashamed of my American birth," she
said. "I am proud that there is not
a drop of blood in my veins that is
not Anglo-Saxon. I now want to tell
you that that blood is fighting blood!"
TELEPHONE HEARING ENDS
; STATE COMMISSION SOON TO
UECIDK ON LEGAL KATE.
Engineer Raps Company for Send
iig Men to Induce Subscribers
to Make Xew Contracts.
Chairman Buchtel of the public
service commission announced at the
close of the hearing, held to determine
what shall be the legal rate for ex
change service in Oregon on lines of
the Pacific Telephone-Telegraph com
pany, that consideration of the case
-will get the attention of the commis-
sion with the determination to render
' an early decision. It is probable that
: , the result will be made public within
: ten days. The hearing terminated at
6:4 5 P. M. ,
The closing session of the prolonged
Investigation, which began in August
. last, when the commission instituted
the hearing following the action of
the telephone company in putting into
effect the Burleson schedule of rates,
was marked by severe castigation of
the company by Fred A. Rasch, util
r. ities engineer and service expert of
; the commission. He declared tha the
-'- service is very bad. and especially
, criticized the conduct of the company
in sending out men to "persuade sub
scribers using the automatic telephone
--. to make new contracts for the high-
. est class of service," and charged lack
of co-operation to enable .examiners
to secure necessary information.
' W. J. Phillips, division commercial
superintendent of the company, took
t ,' the stand to .testify and indignantly
denied the justification for the j
charges made by Mr. Rasch, making a
; statement In refutation of the allegra-
tions. He also -included the city of
' ficials in his commentaries upon the
troubles of the telephone company in
'. . reference to rates and service.
; ; ;: "Mayor Baker advised the people to
throw out their telephones, and the
'. representative of the city attorney's
office, Mr. Tomlinson, advised sub
' . scribers to refuse to pay their bills,"
; declared Mr. Phillips.
" "No, I did not," interjected Mr. Tom
linson: "I never told any person to
- refuse to pay their bills "
"You were quoted in the newspapers
' as saying that and I have never seen
! any denial of it," Mr. Philipps said.
"Did you ever hear that I made such
a statement from any other source?"
pursued the assistant city attorney.
"It is my recollection that I saw a
letter received at the office of the
company in which you tendered a
check in payment of your telephone
' bill at the old rates "
"Yes, I did that, and stated that I
X would pay any difference that might
be due when the rateB were finally
fixed by the public service commis
'" sioh; but I always advised subscribers
I, who called me up what I held to be
-I the legal rates and advised them how
in my opinion, they could protect
;. themselves against an excessive rate."
"The good faith of the telephone
company has been shown in many
T ways," said Mr. Phillips.

H
AVE you a "twin soul"? It's
nothing like an athletic heart
or the housemaid's knee, but it
frequently causes even more trouble.
Billie Burke is afflicted with one in
her new picture, "Sadie Love," which
will open at the Peoples theater today
for a week's run. It takes the form
of an old sweetheart who shows up
about five minutes after she had been
pronounced the wife of Count Luigl
Pallavicini, a handsome Italian. Forth
with Billie imagines herself in love
with her old flame, though he has
grown fat and unlovely since their
amorous affair. She plans an elope
ment with him, but his wife and an
excitable French friend of the Italian
husband foil the little scheme and
offer some complications on their own
account. It is a most laughable and
delightful mess, which finally turns
out happily for all concerned.
The original of the picture is Avery
Hopwood's farce in the same name,
which was produced with success on
Broadway a few years ago. James L.
Crane, Jed Prouty and Helen Montrose
are included in the supporting cast,
and the production was' directed by
John S. Robertson.
Screen Gossip.
One of the most riotous scenes ever
included in a comedy was staged last
week as a part of "A Twilight Baby,"
the first of the new comedy series to
be released soon. Minor bumps and
bruises were received by a number of
the players, and one end of the stage
was completely wrecked.
Lloyd (Ham) Hamilton, who is fea
tured in the production, did not ap
pear in the scene, and so had the
pleasure of standing on the side lines
and watching his fellow comedians
go down In battle. The scene was
laid in a country grocery, and a free-
for-allf ight took place, which only
ceased when the setting was reduced
to ruins, and there remained nothing
in sight to throw. Harry Todd
emerged from the debris with a large
lump on his head, caused by forcible
contact with an onion, and the others
in the cast were similarly bunged up.
Screen rights to "Out of the Night."
by Josephine Miller, were purchased
recently. "Out of the Night" ap
peared in one of the popular maga
zines, and it is intended as a future
vehicle for Olive Thomas. Miss
Thomas is now working on the motion-picture
version of the play, "The
Girl From Out Yonder," under the
direction of Ralph Ince, which wj.ll be
released soon.
The working title of Elaine Ham
merstein's new production is to be
"Love." This title will probably be
changed before the release of the pic
ture. Alan Crosland, who directed
Miss Hammerstein in "The Country
Cousin," and Walter McGrail, who
had the leading male role In "The
Country Cousin," will again play their
respective parts in the making of!
"Love."
John Tainter Foote, the author of
Tobys Bow." is well known to
Saturday Evening Post readers for
his race track stories and tales of
southern life. His understanding of
the psychology of the southern negro
has resulted in some of the most de
lightful characterizations in modern
American fiction.

Many motion-picture players are
known to be superstitious. Eugene
O'Brien, who is now working oji "The
Broken Melody," admitted that he is
at least superstitious about walking
under a ladder. There's a reason.
A short time ago Gene was not so
superstitious, but walked beneath a
ladder in a studio, and the scenic
artist spilled a can of paint upon him.
Now Gene is fairly convinced that it
is bad luck to pass under a ladder.

MAN AMD WINE TAKEN
It-Mian Declares Beverage AVas for
Personal Use.
OREGON CITY. Or.. Nov. 14. (Spe
cial.) Sheriff Wilson, in company
with revenue officers from Portland,
arrested Caesar Ferero, an Italian liv
ing about seven miles from here on
rural route 1, today and seized four
five-gallon demijohns filled with
claret wine. Ferero said that he had
made the wine for his own use from
California grapes. He said he had
been told that his countrymen were
allowed to have 200 gallons of wine
under the law and that he had no
wish to violate the law. He said he
had 120 gallons more at his home
which was now going through the
"ripening" stage.
Attorneys here say that the courts
have held that Italians may be ex
empted from the rigors of the raw to
the extent of possessing sufficient
wine for their own personal needs.

J. C. Beck of Mapleton Declares
Residents Powerless to Enforce
Alleged Contract by Railway.
EUGENE. Or., Nov. 14. (Special.)
With the declaration that all means
through law have been exhausted to
obtain the reconstruction of the
wagon road along the Siuslaw river
between Mapleton and Acme, which
was destroyed when the Coos Bay
branch of the Southern Pacific was
built in 1911, J. C. Beck, a prominent
resident of Mapleton and farm owner,
is here in an endeavor to enlist the
aid of public opinion, hoping in some
way to make an effective appeal to
the railway company to keep its
alleged promise to restore the road.
According to Mr. Beck, the county
court in granting the franchise to
the Southern Pacific company to build
its grade en land occupied by the
county road, entered into a contract
whereby the company was to rebuild
the road after the railway had been
completed. The company offered the
county $17,500 as compensation for
the wagon road In lieu of building a
new one. The settlers' protests
caused the county court to turn down
the offer.
The court turned the matter over
to the public service commission
which ruled that the railway com
pany rebuild the wagon road. The
company appealed to the circuit court
of Lane county on the ground that
the commission had no jurisdiction.
The court sustained the decision of
the commission, whereupon the rail
way company appealed to the supreme
court and about six months ago that
tribunal reversed the lower court.

NORTH BEND IS AROUSED
Man Who Resented Alleged Dis
loyal Remarks Is Fined $10.
NORTH BEND. Or., Nov 14. (Spe
cial.) Considerable feeling has been
aroused here over the case of A. F.
Wright, an employe of the local ship
yard, who was arrested recently and
fined $10 by City Magistrate C. E.
Maybee, on a charge of disorderly
conduct, as a result of an altercation
with F. H. Schetter, a local mill-'
Wright, who is alleged to have made
disloyal and . disparaging remarks
against the government.
Sc-hetter caused the arrest of
Wright on a charge of using profane
language and disturbing the peace.
Friends of Wright presented a re
quest to the city council to have the
fine remitted.
Action in the matter was deferred
by the city council pending a com
plete investigation and report of the
affair by the executive committee of
the local post of the American Legion.
Friends of Schetter assert that the
charges of disloyalty are without
foundation.
