TnE '3IORXIXG OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1919. URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL UP IN HOUSE Mondell Says Strictest Econ omy Must Prevail. BILLION CUT PROPOSED 4rmj-Xavy Pay Increase and Ben efits for ex-Servtee Men Are ' Left Out Entirely. WASHINGTON, Dec. 18. All gen eral appropriations for 1921 will be pared down "in accordance with strictest economy" except the post office and pension departments, the estimates of which are "ess than for the present year. Majority Leader Mondell, Wyoming:, told the house to day when the first urgent deficiency bill of this session was brought up. Greatest reductions will be made in the army and fortifications estimates, he said, the former request totaling J82,800,0i0 and the latter $117,793, 3:0, an increase of more than $106, 000,000 over the present appropria tion. The balance of estimated liabilities over receipts, Mr. Mondell said, is $3, 050.508.574. Estimates of expendi tures, he said, would suggest exces siveness. Total estimated receipts for this year, he said, are $0,035,850,000. Loan Interest MlMMingr. "These official estimates of the re ceipts," he added, "are notable in that they carry no estimate of receipts on account of interest on our loans of nearly $10,000,000,000 for foreign gov ernments. This interest, if paid, would increase our receipts and light en our burdens for the year by nearly $500,000,000." The funding of interest on foreign obligations for two or three years would increase foreign loans at least $2,000,000,000 above the present fig ures. Mr. Mondell said. "The fact that such action has been taken by the secretary of the treas ury." he explained, "reduces our in comes or increases our outlays half . billion dollars annually." Billion Cut Proposed. Congress should cut the estimates t least a billion dollars and refuse tvery request which is not impera tive, he added. No provisions for in creased pay for officers of the army or navy, or the nurses' corps, nor esti mates for loans, bonuses or develop ment projects benefitting ex-service men are made in any of the appropri ation bills. "It is for congress to determine," he continued, "what is to be done in all these matters, but in arriving at that determination let us remember rtiat we have passed the period, under the stimulant of war enthusiasm, when we could spend billions without a thought as to where the money was to come from, who was to pay it, or when it was to be paid. "The coming fiscal year will wit ness the culmination of the growing burdens of the war's . aftermath. It presents financial problems as serious in their way as any we met during the period of the war. We cannot increase taxes. We should not issue bonds. We have no alternative but to economize to the limit." at the Perkins hotel Wednesday night, f A warrant charging Dr. Cameron ' with larceny from ' the person was I iBsuea yesteraay by Deputy District Attorney Deich and signed by Mr. Mears. The warrant charges the theft of three $50 liberty bonds, $150 in war savings stamps. $65 in cur rency, a note for $200 and a receipt for $300 payment on a Japanese bond. Following the issuance of the war rant Detective Captain Circle imme diately detailed Detectives Tichenor and Mallet to locate and arrest Dr. Cameron. According to the story told by Mr Mears, who is 63 years of age and lives at 111 North Broadway, Dr. Cameron owed him $200 and he held a note for that amount. He said that Dr. Cameron lured him to a. room at the Perkins hotel Wednesday night with representations that he intended to pay the money. "When I arrived at the doctor's room in the hotel he told me that a woman was going to let him have the $200 to pay me, but he would have to wait until she got back from the theater," Mr. Mears said. After they, had talked a while to gether Dr. Cameron took some small pills out of his pocket, Mr. Mears said. After taking one himself, he then offered one to Mears, Mears said that on representations that they would not hurt him he took one. When he came to he had been rob bed and Dr. Cameron was gone. Dr. Cameron, according to the de tectives, had registered at the Per kins hotel under the name of Williarri Ellis of Salem. Authorities said yes terday that Mears' lips bore unmis takable signs of his having taken morphine. The Astoria authorities were imme diately communicated with yesterday in the belief that Dr. Cameron might go there. He is also said to have a mother and sister in Medford and authorities in that city were also asked to be on the lookout for him. WHITE LIGHTSINDIVORCE GRACE BREITHACPT KIIIVO LOUS, SAYS COMPLAINT. FAIR GfiMBLlNS OPPOSED RKFOKM I'RGED BY GOVERNOR IX LETTER TO BOARD. l'uture Concessions Must Be Clean or They Will Be Regulated, by High Source. SALEM, Or., Dec. 18. (Special.) The necessity for exercising greater care in granting amusement conces sions at state fairs held in Oregon In the future is emphasized in a letter prepared by Governor Olcott today and addressed to A. H. Lea. secretary of the state lair board. "Numerous complaints have been registered against a practice, too frequent in the past of permitting lottery, gambling and other similar concessions to flourish," said the gov ernor's letter. "In addition com plaint has been made that some of the so-called shows have passed the border line of morality and decency to such an extent as to be highly offensive to many of the patrons of the fair. These complaints have been so persistent and widespread that I am left to believe they are founded upon fact. "As governor of the state I must insist that the fair be conducted without the taint of indecency or im tnorality and that whatever conces sions are granted privileges at the fair they be granted them for purely legitimate and entirely lawful and moral purposes only. "The Oregon tate fair is designed primarily as an educational exposi tion. But it is right and permissible that some wholesome entertainment be accorded the patrons of the fair in addition to the strictly educa tional features. However, the state of Oregon is not so poor, nor are its citizens so depraved, that It is necessary to raise money for fair pur poses by gambling devices, or Is it essential to pander to grosser tastes to draw a crowd. "I wish to advise the members of the board of fair directors that any concessions granted in the future which are beyond the border line of decency and legality will be promptly closed by the proper authorities. If the authorities fail to act this office, by virtue of the power vested in it, will see that action is taken with all possible expedition to eliminate the objectionable features." Governor Olcott urges Mr. Lea to submit his letter and suggestions to the members of the fair board at their annual meeting to be held here during the second week in January. POLICE SEEK PHYSICIAN Sumpter Lumberman Urges Spouse to Forsake City's Lnre for Domestic Duties. Grace Breithaupt is "one of those frivolous women who think more of the white lights of Portland than of home and duties as a good, faithful wife" in the characterization of Oscar Breithaupt in an affidavit sup porting his answer to the divorce case of his wife, filed in the circuit court yesterday. They were divorced once before but remarried. Business has compelled Breithaupt to live in small cities, while his wife has pined for metropolitan life, he asserts. He is now living in Sumpter, Or., where he has important lumber interests. , He asserts that Mrs. Breithaupt was unable longer "to re sist the white lights" last April and came to Portland, taking her son, Ralph, with her. She went to work in a local department store and is still employed there, says the hus band. "If she will do her duty as a wife she will return to me and keep our home fire bright, for I will, as in the past, keep our larder full and plenty of wood, water and provisions," de clares his affidavit. To make more room for the dancing school she was conducting in her mother's home, Maud Gladden re quested that her husband give up quarters and live elsewhere, accord ing to the divorce complaint of Wayne V. Gladden, filed yesterday. Alimony of $o000 is demanded by Lusetta P. Aylsworth in a suit filed against Charles P. Aylsworth, part owner of the Sunnyside Fuel com pany, in which cruel treatment and Infidelity are alleged.

The machine is being con structed by a Portland Arm. The ma terial used in making lath will most ly come from slabs, which here tofore have found their way into the refuse burner. The Chehalis Mill company plant was enabled to start cutting lumber again today, following a shutdown ol more than a week occasioned by the big snow and the cold weather that followed. An ample supply of logs is available and the mill expects to run steadily. The Coal Creek Lumber company, in the north end of Chehalis, will not start up until Monday of next week, as the logging camp will not be able to get into full action until Friday.
