On direct examination C. D. Latou rette, for the plaintiff, brought out the information fiat the company had paid 30 per cent in 1919, 35 or S6 per cent in 1918 and 40 per cent in 1917. Last year he received 17500 in dividends on his stock. He tes tified that the company had issued stock to the amount of $600,000 and $200,000 more in 1916, and that the book value of the concern is $2,300, 000. Mr. Hawley was closely interrogat ed by Harrison Allen of the defense on cross-examination as to his house hold expenditures. He explained that when theymoved into their new home on Center street in Oregon City last year he attempted to live on $500 a montn, but that the cost amounted to $700 or thereabouts. "For the six months prior to the filing of this suit, ' said the defendant, "Marjorie's personal expenditures were about $175 a month, for clothes and other things of a personal na ture. I paid $45 a month to one maid and $35 to another, and for the up keep of the car and all household bills. . Shortly after our marriage when I was receiving a small salary, I gave Marjorie an allowance of $50 a month for pin money and clothes, just as a mark to shoot at, and not with the idea of holding her down. The day before this suit was filed she purchased goods amounting to $195.55 and had them charged to me. She bought hose for $7 and shoes for $25 a pair, and six days after the suit was filed she went to Portland and obtained some expensive photographs and had them charged to me." Total Investment Shown. Young Hawley testified that his earnings and dividends, or as much as he could save from them, went to pay his debts, he having assumed a note for $24,000 for the purchase of additional stock in the mill. He said the total investment in his house and furnishings was $18,000. "We are merely trying to show," said Mr. Allen, in reply to an objec tion from Mr. Latourette, "that this young man has a total investment of $26,000 from his own earnings and that the balance of hi9 'gigantic' fortune was given to him by his parents." WASHINGTON. Feb. 17. Senator Poindexter of Washington, a candidate for the republican presidential nomi nation, told the National Press club tonight that President Wilson's re ported proposal to withdraw from European affairs on account of the Adriatic controversy was one of tba best things the president ever had said; If the European powers only would force the plan to be carried out, he declared, the United States might be spared serious consequences now threatening it because of the peace settlement. The resignation of Secretary Lan sing also was commented on at length by Senator Poindexter, who waa the speaker of the evening at the club's series of "presidential nights." What is left of our mutilated cab lnet, he said, "ought to be called the ground hog cabinet. It undoubtedly will be afraid of its shadow and stay close in its hole for more than six weeks. One safe bet is that their minds will 'go along with his' here after; that is, whatever independence of mind they have had. Lansing's Loyalty Praised. 'As early as January, 1919, it ap pears that Secretary Lansing enter talned opposing views in matters 01 momentous consequence. It can read ily be seen how he felt at a confer ence called together for the sole pur pose of framing a treaty of peace and knew that it had no authority to resolve itself into a constitutional convention. Secretary Lansing, it now alppears. revolted from the pros pect His loyalty to the president only fully appears when it is con sidered that he evidently placed it above his dislike for the schemes of world control which had been thrust upon the conference. It may be Secretary Lansing was misled by the espionage act, getting the impression that it prohibited any one from forming or expressing any opinion different from that of the president. This delusion still persists n many quarters. "One of the best things that the president has ever said is his recent announcement that if the agreement for settlement of the Adriatic contro versy was carried out he would with draw from participation in European affairs. Isolation "Hardships" Seen. 'If the allied representatives will only buck up with their backs to the wall and fight for the agreement they have made, we may at .once have peace in Europe. Of course, it will be hard on America. We can no longer boast that when there is dan gerous work to do we are the first that are called on to perform it. It might even be that we would be de nied the privilege of remitting a little item of $30,000,000 of interest oft European loans. It might even be that we would be deprived of the honor of helping to guard the Adri atic and would lose the opportunity of raising an army to police Turkey. But still there- is no certainty about this. The president may yet gam his point. Something big is going to happen in oar Church next .Sunday It was a hard headed business man speaking. He was tired as all of us are of having the Church constantly asking for money. He was ashamed as all of us ought to be that the church should have to ask. ' He was telling of what the Stewardship Plan would do for his Church. "Most of the leading business men I've talked to are for it heart, soul and pocketbook" he said. "We have often wondered why the Church didn't get on a plain business basis of raising funds. With the Stewardship Plan there will be no more beg ging; no more deficits.?
