Articles from the Physical Culture magazine, tracts on naturopathy and newspaper clippings which the de fense endeavored to introduce in sup port of Lucas' theories were ruled out by Judge Tucker on the ground that they had not been specifically identified as the work of real authori ties. Lucas asserted that he conceived the American Dregless association and Is first vice-president. He said that SI, 500, 000 had been raised by this association for the founding of a university In New YorV to teach drug less methods. Adolph Bertschinger, naturopalh. and Edwin Woertendyke, baggage man. were character witnesses called by Lucas. R. E.

Mr. Bonham further announced that nearly 40 cases pending with the likelihood that an equal number of aliens, many of whom are radicals, will be compelled to leave the United States within the next two months. Of the 38 deported, four are known radicals or members of the T. W. V., it was disclosed in the statement. The radicals Included Charles Saun ders, a bollermaker, who was regard ed as one of the most dangerous men deported from the Pacific coast.

Woman Also Deported. Airs. Constance Svendsen, with whom Saunders lived while in Port land, was another radical who was compelled to return to Canada. She was secretary of the local socialist party and a delegate to the soviet council. Her three sons were sent "with her to Canada. The other two radicals were John Xenovich, an L W. W. with a criminal record, and Albert Bcrtrand. an ad mitted I. W. W. and self-styled philosophical anarchist.

All Reports Investigated. In supplementing his written report of deportation activities, Mr. Bonham aaid that his office was making daily investigations of all cases reported to him with the determination that every radical alien be deported as quickly as possible. His office will welcome all geixiine reports of radi cal activities on the part of aliens. "I believe that the present state of Tinrest which has been brought about by these L W. W. can be quickly sup pressed through co-operation of state and governmental agencies," he said. "T have been informed by Attorney General Brown that the criminal syndicalism bill Is in every way con stitutional ana can be used to good effect in bringing the native radicals to justice, while the immigration laws are broad enough to take care of the alien who comes to our coun try and seeks to overthrow the government. "By making use of the criminal syndicalism act for disloyal Ameri cans and the naturalization laws for anarchistic aliens I firmly believe that all discontent and disorder can soon be stamped out."

ASUPvE cure for the blues and a positive mine of Christmas cheer and good feeling is the Avery Hopwood farce, "Fair and Warmer." which is showing at the Strand theater this week. "Fair and Warmer" is not a new comedy to the American public, al though it was written not more than four years ago. So well has it been received that its funny lines and ri diculous situations are known to the vast majority of those who enjoy the modern farce. Vet so cleverly has the screen version been prf.fluced and with such elaborate and ar-aslng de tail that not one of the many who laughed over the spoken traduc tion will want to miss it on the s'lter screen. Apparently having seen il 'n the original form, one enjoys the new method of presentation the more May Allison has outdone herself is the role of Blanny Wheeler, the do cile little wire who turned bolshevik upon learning the true importance ol the mystic shrine in her perfect hus band's life. She is doll pretty, yet at the same time she puts a clever ness and punch into her portrayal that Is decidedly pleasing. flugene Pallette depicts placid, sleepy Billy Bartlett, who just had to taste liquor for the first time that he might keep away until Phil Evans brought friend wife home from the opera. His slow smile, which regis ters the exact thought which Is that minute passing through his mind, is his chief and quite sufficient claim to fame. "Fair and Warmer," it will be re membered, is the story of a wife who is awakened into the cruel belief that perhaps her wonderful husband has not been true to her and who deter mines with the help of a patient hus band, all too perfect, to show her spouse a thing or two. And she does. Screen Gossip. Douglas Fairbanks has engaged Henry Clive, celebrated American artist, to furnish a series of artistic paintings to accompany the titles of the forthcoming production, "When tho Clouds Roll By." the latest Fair banks offering to be released through the United Artists' corporation. Mr. Clive is acknowledged to be one of the foremost artists of the day and his original creations in oil of beau tiful women have won for him com ment from all parts of the world. SEND 18 LOSES PLACE NON-RESIDENCE BARS MOORE FROM POSTMASTERSHIP. Committee Named by Governor to Conclude Probe of Office Mis conduct Charges. What is expected to be the final bearing of the committee of Inquiry appointed last summer by Governor Olcott to investigate charges made against the conduct of affairs of the state industrial accident commission will be held on Tuesday, December 30, at room 520, the courthouse. Charges of misfeasance were made against the commission by Le Roy Keeley, a Portland attorney, follow ing the controversey anent the pay ment of a death claim to Mrs. A. G. Dibbern, of this city, whose hus band met his death while working at the Columbia River shipyards. The attorney subsequently sued to re cover 40 per cent of the claim, alleg ing that that amount was due him for legal services. At the request of William A. Mar shall, chairman of the industrial ac cident commission, Governor Olcott appointed the committee of inquiry. It has received the reply of the com mission relative to the specific charges preferred, and its hearing next week will be public for the pur pose of eliciting any further testi mony that may have bearing on the investigation. On the committee were named the following members: A. C. Dixon, chair man, Eugene; F. A. Douty, A. G. Labbe, Frank Green, J. H. Brooks, C. f. Apperson, H. H. Overturf, Sandy UcLain and Robert S. Gill, secretary. Redmond Position Relinquished and Applicant Held Ineligible for Reinstatement. ' WASHINGTON. Dec. 22. (Special.) J. W. Moore of Bend, Or., finds him self In a peculiar position as the re sult of resigning the position of post master at Redmond, several months ago, to take the examination for post master at Bend. He removed to Bend for that purpose, it appears, feeling as sured of his qualifications to pass the test. There was another candidate, Wilbur H. Hudson, who had the in dorsement of the state democratic or ganization, but he apparently did not qualify, as nearly as can be learned from the postoffice department. Mr. Moore, on the otner hand, after he had taken the examination, was barred on the ground of ineligibility because of non-residence. After the civil service commission accepted his blank stating all of the facts as to his residence and permitting him to take the examination, it was ruled that he was not eligible because he was not a resident of Bend when the vacancy occurred. Neither is he in line for re instatement as postmaster at Red mond, because he is now a resident of Bend. Mr. Moore was here for a few days trying to obtain a reversal of the rul ing, but the postoffice department could not be induced to change its ixnoans. In the meantime Mr. Hudson is un derstood to be "brushing up" on the requirements of the job In the hope that he may yet win the Bend post mastership. MOVE AWAITS GOVERNOR Forum of Chamher Delays Action on Game Commission Change. Because those who were present yesterday at the members' forum of the Chamber of Commerce were, to a large extent, uncertain as to Gover nor Olcott's plan to separate the com mercial and sports departments of the state fish and game commission, a motion to Indorse this scheme was laid on the table. It will probably be voted on next Monday. This resolution does not In any way refer to the removal of William L Finley as state biologist, and this matter probably will come up at the directors' meeting Wednesday. The principal speakers yesterday were Mr. and Mrs. Harry Phillips, who discussed educational work to crush I. W. W. Rainier School Produces Play. RAINIER, Or., Dec. 22. (Special.) The Rainier high school produced the play "Mrs. Briggs of the Poultry Vard," last Friday night and more than $100 was cleared. The proceeds will be used in paying for a piano tor the high school. . . . who will be here on their holiday va cations and will join with students ol Oregon, who also arc coming in num bers. The glee club of 40 members has just completed a tour of the Pacific coast. The money is being raised for the student body building fund of the Washington university. The organ ization consists of a big chorus, a jazz band, a number of quartet, solo and duet numbers, and instrumental and vocal music ranging from the classi cal to real jazz. After voluminous testimony by Alsamon Ira Lucas, who had occupied the witness chair on rebuttal for nearly two days, had been concluded yesterday afternoon, the defense In the 350.000 libel suit against the Evening Telegram occasioned much surprise by waiving the right to cross-examination. "We want to get the Jury out of the trenches by Christmas." explained Harrison Allen, who. with C. R. Peck, represents the newspaper. The case already has consumed nearly three weeks. At adjournment yesterday the plaintiff still had several witnesses to offer In rebuttal, among whom were named Circuit Judge Tazwell, who had employed Lucas in the ex amination of delinquent children when judge of the Juvenile court, and Mrs. Delia Whiting, chief probation officer for girls In the defunct Ju venile court. They will take the stand this morning. The testimony should be concluded today, but yesterday it was consld ered doubtful if the arguments would begin before late this afternoon or tomorrow. Lucas Makes General Denial. General denial was made by Lucas of the testimony of B. C. Miller, for merly of Dayton, Wash., to the effect that Lucas fled to him for protec tion from a mob; of Attorney Dudley G. Wooten of Seattle, who said that Lucas admitted having negro blood during his divorce suit in that city; of ex-Dlstrlct Attorney Henry Llnds ley of Denver, who declared that Lucas had been ordered to leave Denver, and or Mrs. Margaret P. Colburn, who testified In a deposi tion to assertions Lucas had made concerning the spirituality of women. When Lucas was called before the better business bueau of the Portland Ad club his inquisitors "talked like babies" and asked "childish ques tions," he asserted. "I purposely threw them off the track by telling them I was graduate of a certain college in Kansas," he testified. "They had no right in quiring into my affairs." l.ifr-I.ong Knocking Charged. "All my life, as soon as I get a case someone else begins to knock," complained Lucas. He was referring to the Otto Grau case, in which Mich ael F. Brady persuaded Grau not to I pay Lucas $200 In advance to he saved 1 from the insanity witn wnicn L,ucas had threatened him. "Payment In advance is my rule, my law," Justified Lucas. "I havo trusted thousands who have refused to pay. I have never harmed, wronged or cheated anyone. 1 al ways give a contract, guaranteeing my services." Denying that he cured everything, Lucas said: "I treat nervous, mental and psychic diseases only." Tschyo analysls was the best cure, he said, for psychic blindness, psychic deaf ness, neurosis, stammering, obses sion, hallucination, aphasia, and va rious other ailments, including "dis eases of apathy and ecstacy." Through psychoanalysis, he insisted, could be cured "every detrimental habit known to man." Rival Attorneys Clash. A clash occurred between attorneys when Nelson R. Jacobson, a: pearing for Lucas, virtually accused Harrison Allen of slipping an unauthorized birth certificate of a negrr girl born to Lucas' parents In Santa Barbara Into evidence, when the record showed SiT l:li!-ll,l'lilil;uuliuuul'uliu,jjliul.it'liuij.jl".
