FORMED
DRFGD,
Circuit Judge Tazwell yesterday
give Walter B. Jones, state senator
from Eugene, until April IS to refund
$10,000 taken from the estate of Miss
Hester M. O'Dell. for which he was
guardian, and loaned to a company in
which he had a heavy personal In
terest. Mr. Jones, who has been ousted as
guardian of the estate and whose
claim for $1000 fees in connection
with his services was disallowed by
Judge Tazwell, lent the money to the
firm of Belott & Alpine, which man
aged the John Jones Coal company of
Coos Bay, of which Senator Jones was
secretary-treasurer and in which he
had a fourth Interest.
Estate Valued at $17,009.
Miss O'Dell is a retired school
teacher living at the Patton home
and had an estate valued originally
at 1 17.000. The senator was appointed
jruardlan February 8, 1919, when Miss
O'Dell's physical infirmities became
such that she could ho longer admin
ister her own affairs. Her mind was
sound, though she was 65 years old
and of weak physique, according to
Judge Tazwell. She said she was
informed by Mr. Jones at that time
that he put up $75,000 surety, whereas
the true amount was 7500.
The $10,000 loan was placed on de
posit in the United States National
bank at Eugene and drawn against by
Jones as stockholder and agent for
the John Jones Coal company. It was
secured with a second mortgage on
acreage in Wisconsin. Mr. Jones told
Judse Tazwell yesterday that the
land was valuable and that he would
be able to make good the amount. If
triven time.
Bond May Be Forfeited.
Should the money not be replaced
by April 13, Judge Tazwell's order
will cause the surety company to for
feit the $7500. which is the extent of
Jones' bond, and Jones or his associ
ates will be held responsible for the
rest. The $10,000 deal was held by
Judge Tazwell to be a distinct breach
of trust and wholly improper for the
guaraian or an estate.
Kvidence in the hearing showed that
some of Miss O'Dell's money had been
placed in loans by Grant B. Dimick.
Oregon City attorney, and that Mr.
Jones accepted about $1000 in interest
and principal on these accounts two
weeks after he haul been relieved ol
his trust.
The land mortcaee held hv Mr
Jones and put up as security was for
awju. xne terms of the $10,000 loan
were that, while interest might ac
crue, none was to be paid for a period
of five years from November 10, 1919.
Under ihe terms of Judge Tazwell's
order, the $10,090 must be paid over
to Walter A. Holt, assistant cashier
oi me- united States National bank
wno naa Mown Miss O'Dell for 40
years and wao appointed guardian
wnen ju.r. Jones was relieved.
Until Attorney Kraemer filed a pe
tition for Mr. Jones' removal last fall.
he had never; made an accounting of
the guardianship. In evidence in the
case are checks drawn by Jones for
the John Jones Coal company from
tne rund ocn deposit in the Eugene
bank. L. J. Belott of the firm of
seiott & AJpine is Mr. Jones' brother
in-law.

Q'
on a

to Great Extent, Declares
Inspector Barclay.
Added efficiency in the Portland
postal service, through the co-operation
of the business firms of the city
and the public generally, is sought
by Robert H. Barclay, inspector in
charge, who declares that a trifle of
personal application to the service,
by business interests, will rebound
to the benefit of all.
Suggestions that are intended for
the benefit of the service are espe
cially desired, declares Inspector Bar.
clay, who adds that constructive
criticism is welcome.
"A great many business concerns
do not deposit their correspondence
for mailing as it accumulates during
the day," said Inspector Barclay, "and
as a result mailings are congested
at the postoffice in the late after
noon, endangering the most expedi
tious dispatch by the best connec
tions. "The registering device on the can
celing machines through which all
first-class mail matter passes shows
that approximately only 40 per cent
of such mail is deposited throughout
the day up to 4 P. M.. the remainder
coming in between 5 P. M. and 7
P. M. Last month 5,052,679 pieces of
first-class matter were deposited for
mailing, a gain of 1,074,549 pieces
over the month of March a year ago.

able amount of the business mall of
the city cannot conveniently be

UEER things may happen
honeymoon.
The queerest events happened
to Milly, the four-hours-old bride
whose experiences are shown In the
comedy farce "Easy to Get," being
shown this week at the Columbia.
Marguerite Clark, supported by Har
rison Ford, has the leading role.
"Easy to Get" is rather prudent in
the way it demonstrates the foolish
ness and attractiveness of the human
character, regardless of sex. It points
out how foolish a young benedict may
be and then it proceeds to demon
strate that a young bride may be just
as much so. For instance, it was de
cidedly reckless for Tom to boast Just
four hours after being married of how
simple a matter It is to win and wed
the girl of one's choice. Of course,
if his bride had not overheard the
remark and had not been of such an
Independent nature. It might not have
been so reckless.
On the other hand. It is not always
wise to take refuge in the home of
seven thieves, even as the story "Ali
Baba" demonstrates. But a woman
trying to show a man a thing or two
can be as regardless of consequences
as her spouse who brags of his "way
wid de dames."
Music from the English operas is
used by the Columbia string orches
tra as it accompanies the picture, and
particularly noticeable are selections
from "The Chimes of Normandy."
Portland "gyrenes" will appreciate
this week's programme, as it includes
a picture of the United States ma
rines In action In Haiti, where they
are handling a war of their own.

Columbia theater. Special musical
settings will be devised for them.
A great mountain retreat posses
sing unique individuality is shown in
the Goldwyn picture, "The Branding
Iron." It is a cabin in the Wyoming
hills, built and furnished after the
dreamy fancy of a New Tork play
wright, a man of artistic sensibilities.
The atmosphere is oriental, the ef
fect carried out by a beautiful col
lection of tapestries. Ivory carvings,
bronze figures and other oriental art
objects.
It Is safe to say there will be imi
tators of this cabin among those who
see "The-Branding Iron," for it is
unique fancy and certain to make its
appeal to Bohemian souls.
Raymond Hatton, who has recently
joined the Goldwyn players, got his
start in a home talent production.
"The House That Jack Built," which
was presented in his home town Des
Moines, Iowa. Mr. Hatten played the
part of "Jack." After that he had 10
years' road and stock experience cov
ering the whole of the United States
Later he went to the old Biograph in
the days before Mabel Normand, Mack
Sennett and Fred Mann went to the
Keystone. He also worked with them
In Keystone comedies. He has made
a reputation as a character actor and
his first role after joining Goldwyns
was that of Paul Benedict, the crazed
inventor in "Jes" Call Me Jim," star
ring Will Rogers. Hatton lives in
Los Angeles, and raising flowers and
making garden is his great hobby
next to playing parts.
At., n i. ;nin... . . .i t a '
j geles is learning the beauties of his
own estate for the first time with
the debut of some motion picture
company upon his green lawn. While
filming the new Goldwyn picture,
"Milestones," Director Paul Scardon
and company were given the use of a
beautiful big mansion in Pasadena
to use as an exterior. As the camera
man focused critically upon first one
corner, then another of the estate the
owner followed him about. Finally
he said: "Well, sir, I never realized
before how many pretty spots there
are on these grounds. It takes a mo
tion picture man to point them out to
me. I never thought what a pretty
picture that bend in the drive makes.
Now I will enjoy it more."
Petitions to place William Howard
Taft's name upon the republican pres
idential primary ballot are now being
circulated in many Oregon counties.
The work has proceeded with unusual
quiet, but the petitions, it is said.
are being freely signed. In addition.
a few Taft clubs have been formed,
with almost as little publicity as the
petitions have attained.
Charles W. Ackerson, who was a
progressive In the days of the Bull
Moose movement and followed Colonel
Roosevelt when the break came at
the Chicago convention in 1912, is in
charge of . the Taft petitions. Eight
years ago Mr. Ackerson was eager
to prevent Mr. Taft's nomination in
Chicago, and now he Is just as eager
to se the ex-president nominated.
150O Sls-a Taft Petition.
"We have about 1500 signatures al
ready on the Taft petition," states
Mr. Ackerson. "One thousand is suf
ficient, but we're going to do this
thing right. We intend getting 5000
signatures If the time permits and
make it a- regular whale of a peti
tion. The . petition will be signed
next week.
"There is more Taft sentiment In
Oregon than some people suspect.
The way the petitions have ' been
signed is a pretty good indication.
We'll have Mr. Taft's name on the
ballot and then the fight for the ten
delegates from Oregon will be be
tween Johnson and Taft. The Wis
consin election has been an eye-opener.
Where Johnson is speaking he is get
ting support, and Johnson is coming
to Oregon. Well, Johnson's asset is
his fight against the league of na
tions. There is a mighty big crowd
of republicans who want a league,
notwithstanding Senator Johnson's
views, and Mr. Taft's views on the
league are well known throughout
the nation. On the league issue the
republicans of the state will fight It
out. Those who do not want the
league will support Senator Johnson,
and those who want a league, wiOi
or without reservations, will support
Mr. Taft."
Taft Club Organised.
Taft clubs have been organised in
l"am hill and Polk counties, according
to Mr. Ackerson. who also declares
that the Taft petitions have been for
warded for circulation in every coun
ty. Aside from the cost of printing
the petitions, the movement is with
out expense, asserts Mr. Ackerson.
Dow Walker, state manager for
General Wood, will file the Wood
petition at Salem today. The petition
contains about 3000 names and in
Portland twtce the necessary number
of precincts are represented on the
petition.
The Hoover petition is still being
circulated, but will probably be filed
the latter part of this week or the
early part of next week.
TEACHERS PROTEST PAY
Four of Kalama Faculty Resign
Because Wages Are Not Raised.
KALAMA, Wash., April 6. (Spe

the Kalama schools resigned their
positions Friday evening because the
school board refused to raise their
wages. Kalama is said to pay its
teachers more than any other school
in the county, and a special election
would have been necessary to have
raised the extra amount for salaries.
The vacancies were filled by ex
