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.

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.
Other divorce suits filed were:
Antonia against Mike Bralich, Charles
C. against Geneva Dawell, Cora E.
against William W. McBride, Sarah
against George Jenner, Robert H.
against Lillian C. Miller. Flora against
Ted Hoke. Marue against C. C. Phelps
and Nettie against Fred S. Washburn.
SAWMILL RESUMES WORK
Chehalis Mill Company to Install
Lath Machine to Save Slabs.
CHEHALIS, Wash.. Dec. 18. (Spe
cial.) The Chehalis Mill company
plans to install and begin operating
a lath machine the first of the coming
year, with a daily capacity of 80,000
lath. 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.
Owing to the rapidity with which the
snow has disappeared in this section
of the state most of the sawmills will
again be going full blast by the first
of the week.
