OREGON CITY, Or., Feb. 26. (Spe
cial.) In defense of the character of
Mrs. Marjorie Hawley, who was
chargedwith indiscreet conduct at
Bar View in tne summer of 1918, Miss
Hose Uptegrove, bosom friend and
devoted chum of the plaintiff, testi
fied today that Marjorie moved in the
. best society in Oregon City and had
a fine reputation.
"Willard always wanted his own
way,' said Miss Uptegrove, "and
would never give in to his wife. He
ibjecred to her intimacy with me
and upon the only occasion that Mrs.
Hawley stayed a night at my home
In Portland after her marriage, he
telephoned to her six or eight times
during the evening and wanted to
know what she was doing every
minute."
Harrison Allen brought from Miss
Cptegrove the statement that Wiliard
had spent a lot of money to elect
tier queen of a carnival in Oregon
City and that he had spent $11 for a
dance with her at a ball given to
rafV carnival funds.
. "He was sorry for it," declared the
witness.
"He was a rotten dancer, then,"
asked Allen.
"He was," affirmed Miss Uptegrove.
who also admitted that she had given
"Wtllard's name as a reference when
she applied for a position with the
Southern Pacific company.
Clifford Ball Testifies.
Clifford Ball, whose wife was
Bar View with Marjorie. said he went
to the coast and remained a few days,
and stayed at the Hawley cottage
and took care of the Hawley baby
and his own little daughter, while his
wife and Marjorie, as well as the
maid, were at a dance until 1 o'clock
in the morning. When he returned
he sent for Willard and advised him
to get hs wife to come home so that
Mrs. Ball, whose health was frail,
could have a much needed rest.
He testified to going to the Hawley
home in Oregon City while the recon
ciliation attempt was under way, and
that he had asked Marjorie to post
pone filng the suit until she could go
to Portland and see Mrs. Ball. This
"was done and his wife had told him
over the telephone that Marjorie had
agreed to give Willard another
chance. He denied there was laughter
in the house during any of the con
ferences there and said that both
Marjorie and her mother were crying.
Meeting 1 Described.
Charles Lucas, who married Lola
DeLillies and who lives at Parkplace,
said he had met Claud Johnson in
Portland December 14 on the corner of
Washington and Broadway. His wife
Introduced Johnson, who appeared to
be fuddled and confused.
"Be quiet. I am here In Portland
with one of Hawley's men. I am hav
ing the time of my life and the Haw
leys are paying for it," said Johnson,
according to the evidence of Lucas,
which was corroborated by his wife.
Mrs. Leslie Kidder of Vancouver,
Wash., who testified yesterday that
she saw a man concealed in Mrs. Haw
ley's bedroom while Willard was in
the house, was confronted this after
noon with Manville Robinson, but was
unable to say that he was the man.
Mabl Swick, domestic in the Haw
ley cottage at Bar View, gave Mar
jorie a clean bill of health, and said
she had sat on the cottage porch until
3 o'clock one morning with a soldier,
and that Mrs. Hawley was in bed, but
in a spirit of fun Marjorie had turned
the porch light on and advised the
maid to retire.
"There were no men in the house
while 1 was there, trxcept the boys
who came to see me." said the wit
ness. "Mrs. Hawley never went out to
dunces after I came homo, she never
went out with any man and was
never out at night later than 1
o'clock."
The maid said that Mrs. K. W. Kirk,
whose cottage adjoined that of the
Hawleys. was opposed to dancing, but
would peek in the windows of the
dance hall when nobody was around.
She said she was always awake when
Mrs. Hawley came home, and had
never heard of any discussion be
tween Mrs. Hawley and Mrs. Ball
about their taking off their wedding
rings and having a high time. Mabel
signed two statements about the
case, and upon each occasion Attorney
l,atourette had given her $5. iShe had
left the coast before the Hawley
party and knew nothing of events
that transpired after that time.
I phold Mrs. Hawley.
Mrs. Ruth Strong of Portland, Major
'W. R. Logus and Mrs. Sophie Moody
of Oregon City. Miss Sereda DeLillies
of Tillamook and several others testi
fied as to Mrs. Hawley's good reputa
tion in Oregon City. Mrs. Strong said
that Marjorie was noticeable at Bar
View because she was the prettiest
filrl there and the wife of a man of
wealth. Mable Alley testified as to
some of the Bar View incidents, and
Mrs. J. M. DeLillies of Tillamook, the
mother of 11 children, said Marjorie s
conduct at the beach was good.
Mrs. Virginia Neidlinger. whose
stage name is Virginia DeLillies, dis
played s marvelous aptitude for re
membering places and dates when she
went on the stand in the Hawley
divorce case this morning. She met
, Mrs. Hawley at Bar View and they
became very good friends, she said.
We wore party gowns to the beach
d;nce one Saturday night just to be
different from the others, and not to
be conspicuous." declared the wit-i
ness. "I introd uced Claud Johnson to
Marjorie and I may have presented
him to Mrs. Ball, but I am positive!
Marjorie did not dance with Johnson I
that night. We girls left the dance
about 1 o clock and went home, and
there were no men along. Later that
right Johnson accompanied my sister
xoia nome.
"The following afternoon, on Mon
day. we went to the swimming hole.
and Johnson was on the bank. Mar
jorie tossed her wrist watch to him,
and he put it on and when she came
out of the water Mrs. Hawley asked
him for it, but he said he man ted to
have some fun with it. He returned
it the next day."
On cross-examination the witness
aid she was an actress by profession,
and that Virginia DeLillies was her
professional name.

SALEM, Or., Feb. 26. (Special.)
Based upon a stipulation entered into
between the city of Portland and the
Portland Railway, Light & Power
company following a hearing held in
Portland on October 1, the Oregon
public service commission in an order
issued here tonight denied the appli
cation of the municipality for an ex
tension of the line of the trolley com
pany from the city of St. Johns to
what is known as the St. Johns terminal.
Salient features of the stipulation.
upon which the order of the commis
sion was based follows: "That a
public necessity exists for the con-
that burglars entered their establish
ment last night and stole jewelry
worth close to $20,000.
Posses from Cumberland, Wilkeson,
Enumclaw and Buckley were scour
ing the hills tonight for Paschick's
slayer. Attempts to run the robbers
down with bloodhounds this morning
failed when a fresh light snow was
encountered a mile from Enumclaw.
The direction taken by the dogs from
the start was that pointed out by
persons who heard the two men run
ning away after they had been awak
ened by trie firing.
It is believed that tne two robbers
are part of a gang that has operated
in the district for a number of months
past. Numerous reports of robberies
and two safe blowings have been re
ported in the past 60 days in the
same section. Cumberland Is In the
coal mining district and was the
I. W. W. stronghold during the recent
city of Portland that the Portland
Railway, Light & Power company has
not and cannot obtain the requisite
funds with which to construct said
extension.
"That the commission of public
docks has sufficient money on hand
with which to construct said proposed
extension. That while the section
tributary to said St. Johns terminal
is developing, it will be quite awhile
before the density of travel will be
such as to absorb any present loss in
operation of such extension.
Investment IVot Justified.
"That in order to operate said ex
tension so as to yield a reasonable
rate of return upon the investment
cost thereof would require the charg
ing of an additional fare over such
extension. That Portland Railway,
Light & Power company is willing to
coal strike. It was there that I. W. V. operate said extension If built by said
were reported to be congregating to
make a stand against any attempt by
the mine operators to open up with
non-union labor.
It is the belief of deputies who re
turned tonight for rest, that the rob
bers were either hardened criminals
or intoxicated amateurs. No attempt
was made to lessen the noise made by
the breaking glass in the doors. The
plate glass pane in one door was
shattered with a single blow and no
attempt made to cut it, they say. The
shattered glass resounded on the con
crete pavement with sufficient vol
ume to awaken residents in the vicin
ity. The men looking for the robbers
planned to remain out throughout
the night.
VANCOUVER, B. C. Feb. 26. Ban

SEATTLE. Wash., Feb. 26. (Spe
cial.) Information that a proposed
States bureau of foreign and domestic stipulation filed herein provides for
commerce will mean a discontinu- i P"" mccui J i"
commission of public docks at actual
cost to said Portland Railway, Light
& Power company, conditioned upon
a proper operating contract being en
tered into with said commission of
public docks.
A principal if not the controlling
factor in this case is wnetner conai
tions are such as 40 reasonably justify
the necessary investment by the com
pany in extending its line," reads the
order.
"This Question also seems to be con
clusively disposed of by the parties
at interest, namely, the city of Port
land, and the Portland Railway, Light
& Power company, by the terms of
this stipulation disclosing that condi
tions, are not such as would reason
ably justify the expenditures incident
to the construction of this track."
"It is apparent from the record that
street railway facilities are as essen
tial to the successful operation of the
St. Johns terminal as are the numer
ous tracks for the handling of freight
It is conceded by all that without such
rapid transit facilities the terminal
cannot be operated with success. It is
therefore, manifest that the necessity
which exists for this extension is not
one occasioned by the car rider, but
ia rather a necessity created by the
general public
. Dock Board Hal Funds.
"It is likewise apparent that any
benefits which might accrue there
from would redound principally to
the general public rather than to the
individual who may have occasion to
use such facilities.
"The record discloses that the dock
commission has at its disposal suffi
cient funds with which to make the
desired extension and will construct
the same if the respondent is not re
quired to do so. Furthermore, the
ance of northwestern offices of the
bureau, maintained here since 1914,
has resulted in a vigorous protest
being forwarded to Washington by
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and
Commercial club, China club. Manu
facturers' association and other or
ganizations.
The Seattle offices were established
Just before the big jump in Seattle's
foreign trade and the various organ!-
ent at actual cost to it, in th event
of such a contingency. This we be
lieve to be the logical and just solu
tion of the problem, and the applica
tion herein will accordingly bt de
nied."
Although the commission has denied
the formal application for the desired
extension, it is still possible to ac
quire the service in the event the pub
lic docks commission will construct
the line, which, according to the en-
sations in making the protest state lneer.- esllmt wou,d cost in the

The bureau asked for $1,600,000 to
carry on the work this year. When
reported out of committee about a
week ago the bill carried an appro
priation of $487,000. This drastic cut,
according to information by Seattle
exporters and importers, will mean the
discontinuing of the seven offices in
principal trad centers of the country,
including that at Seattle, and doing
away with all of the commercial at
taches in foreign capitals, thirteen in
number. Similar protests are being
made in other cities where the United
States bureau has offices, it is said.
by the dock commission the railway
company promises to operate its cars
over the line at actual cost to those
seeking the service
