Action Against G. A. Hall and
J. N. Sievers Started.
TYLER CASE IS RECALLED
Serious Charges Preferred Before
Supreme Court by Committee
of Bar Association.
SX'LKM, Or., April 9. (Special.)
The Oregon State .Bar association,
through its grievance committee, to
day filed proceedings in the supreme
court here asking that George A.
Hall, an attorney of Portland, and
John X. Sievers, an attorney with
offices at Oregon City, be disbarred
from practicing their profession In
Oregon.
Members of the committee of the
!ar association filing the charges
s gainst the lawyers include: E. E.
Heekbert, Loring K. Adams, Alfred
J-fampson, Arthur Veazie and Alfred
P. Dobson. The defendants have been
eiven until April 27 to file their an
ewer to the accusations.
The accusations for disbarment
charge that shortly before January
21, 191S, Mr. Hall, while acting as
attorney for Ethel Henderson, made
demand upon William Tyler, then of
Portland, for $3000, which he said
would be accepted in full settlement
of all claims for services alleged to
have been performed by the woman
while acting as housekeeper for
Tyler: also that the amount sought
would settle the alleged claim that
.he had for two years prior thereto
sustained the relation of common law
wife of said Tyler. On January 21,
1918, the complaint charged that
Tyler, with his attorney, Mr. Sievers,
met the Henderson woman at Attor
ney Hall's office in Portland and
there paid her $1500 in full settlement
of the claims, as set out in a written
agreement.
Tyler Held Misinformed.
Tyler, it is alleged in the accusa
tions for disbarment, said he was not
advised that it was recited in the
agreement of settlement that the
woman had for two years sustained
relations of common law wife to him,
nor was he advised that the agree
ment contained the provision that
Miss Henderson should remain in the
residence of Tyler as housekeeper for
a month thereafter. Over Tyler's pro
tests, it is charged, Seivers insisted
that it was fit and proper for Tyler
to sign the agreement.
On January 22. 1918, the complaint
says, Ethel Henderson, Attorney Hall
and one Harry Henderson, represent
ing himself to be the husband of the
woman, went to the offices of Dis
trict Attorney Evans in Multnomah
county and caused a warrant to be
issued for the arrest of Tyler and
Ethel Henderson on a statutory
charge. They were later arrested and
leleased on bail.
" .Alienation Suit Folloirl,
Tyler, it is alleged in the complaint!
then retained Sievers as his attor
ney, and a few days later was con
fronted by a civil action brought by
Harry Henderson, through his attor
ney. Hall, to recover $100,000 damages
from Tyler and his mother. Mis. Par
melia Tyler, on the ground that Tyler
had alienated the affections of Hen
derson's wife. On January 26, 1918,
it is set out in the complaint, Tyler
tailed at his residence to ask Ethel
Henderson if she intended to vacate.
On the occasion of this visit Sievers
appeared, and upon invitation of the
woman both Tyler and the lawyer re
mained for dinner. While enjoying
the hospitality of the woman a dep
uty sheriff appeared and served the
eummons in the civil action on Tyler.
Tyler and his attorney, Sievers,
later visited Hall s office in Portland
according to the complaint, where
the- latter proposed a settlement.
Tyler protested, it is said, whereup
on Attorneys Hall and Sievers went
to the home of Mrs. Parmelia Tyler
an informed her of the arrest of
, her son, together with the pending
civil action for $100,000 damages.
Stork Transfer Alleged.
Mrs. Tyler was ill at the time,
avers the complaint, but this did not
prevent Hall from agreeing to settle
the entire matter for $50,000. The
settlement proposal later was re
duced to $35,000, and then to $20,000.
Not having sufficient money in hand,
it is charged in the complaint. Mrs.
Tyler delivered to Hall and Sievers
tock certificates valued at $20,000.
At a later date It is alleged that
Hall and Sievers met at some con
venient place and that a division of
the certificates tendered by Mrs.
Tyler was effected.
The complaint further charges that
subsequently Mrs. Tyler filed suit in
the Multnomah county circuit court
egainst Ethel Henderson, Harry Hen
derson, Sievers and Hall, in which
she sought damages in the sum of
$100,000. A verdict was awarded in
her favor. Tyler's difficulties came
thick and fast for a few weeks, and
the several actions, criminal and civil,
were widely advertised through the
newspapers. '
Conspiracy Is Charged.
Immediately following the filing of
an .answer by Sievers and Hall the
action for disbarment probably will
be pressed in the supreme court.
At the time, the civil suit was tried
Tyler and his mother charged that
they had been made the victims of
a cleverly planned ruse at the hands
of the Henderson woman, Harry Hen
derson and the two attorneys.
In Oregon transacted new buslncra t
the amount of 49, 397.167. 67 la 1319.

under the head cf "industrial busi
ness" and another under the classi
fication of "assessment business."'

Humane Society Asked to Cse. In
fluence to Have Sight Shut Out
by Drawing Curtains.
As dreams of booze are to the un
willing dweller in a dry state, as a
mirage of water to the perishing
traveler in a blazing desert, as visions
of bourgeoisie to the bolshevik or
I. W. W. so is the sight of men and
women sitting down fo a board groan
ing with chicken, jellies, cakes and
pies to the inmates of corridor "B"
of the county jail.
The federal prisoners in this cor
ridor of the jail have a splendid view
at meal time of the fifth floor of
the courthouse across the air shaft.
where the numerous auxiliaries of the
Grand Army of the Republic and
United Spanish War Veterans hold
sumptuous feasts, at frequent intervals.
Hence a piteous plea delivered yes
terday morning to the office of the
Oregon Humane society on the first
floor of the courthouse. It is signed
'Inmates -Corridor B, Multnomah
County Jail," and it says:
We, the inmates of corridor B,
federal prisoners. In meeting assem
bled, hereby and herewith humbly
petition your honorable society to
use your influence and good offices
to do your utmost to assist in mak
ing arrangements whereby we would
have our windows open for ventila
tion without necessarily being faced
with the harrowing scene of feast
ing and plenty from our modest
apartments. We would suggest that
you persuade the good people to hold
their banquets after 10 P. M., when
we are locked in our cells, or at
least to pull their curtains."
"OPEN SHOP" IS ADOPTED
ALLIANCE FORMED BY TIMBER
AND OTHER INTERESTS.
Union Leaders Do Not Think Ac
tion of Employers Will Cause
Any Immediate Clash.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., April 9.
(Special.) Lumbermen and business
men have allied themselves for deal
ing with the labor question luring
the coining season. An "open shop"
policy has been adopted, in which
trade unionism is not recognized, al
though no discrimination will be
made against union members as indi
vidual employes. The right of th
employer to fix hours and wafes will
be maintained, but no present change
in either is contemplated. All stores
and industries' have an eight-hour
day.
It is not believed by union leaders
that the action of the employers will
precipitate any immediate clash, al
though long-standing discontent over
the present wage scale might bring
about a crisis. They describe the sit
uation as "anti-clash.
Production in 1920, say timber oper
ators, will be almost double that of
previous years. They estimate the
county mills will cut 250.000,000 feet
of timber with a monthly payrol!
during the season of $42a,000. Propa
ganda has been spread through cen
ters by union men, operators allege.
that Klamath county is unionized and
a non-union man cannot work here.
This propagada is said to be keeping
needed workers away.
The alliance of employers intends
to counteract its effect by widely
publishing their organized aioption
t the "open shop policy.
