Granted at Yakima.

Staged In Public Auditorium.

Sensational charges marked the bit
ter fight of 15-year-old Flossie Or
chard yesterday to prevent being sent
back, through habeas corpus proceed
ings instituted in the court of Circuit
Judge Taxwell, to the home of her
mother from wnlch she ran away last
November.
That she was compelled to accept
the attentions and caresses of soldiers,
that she was insulted by her step
father and uncle in her mother's home
and that her life was unhappy before
she fled to the home of her paternal
grandmother in Portland, where her
father is paying for her care, was the
story told by the girl, an unusually
attractive child, on the witness stand.
Although a strict construction of
the law might urge the granting of
the writ of habeas corpus, Judge Taz
well said at the conclusion of the
hearing yesterday afternoon that he
seriously questioned that it would be
for the best interests of the child to
send her back to her mother, partic
ularly in her present state of mind
antagonistic to her mother.
Girl Is Not Blamed.
"If all the things which Flossie has
said are true, she should have left
her home before she did," commented
the judge. "I shall jiot decide this
case finally until Monday morning."
The habeas corpus action was filed
r in the circuit court by Airs. Lena Kasl
Of Vakima, Wash., April 28, 1920, and
came up for hearing yesterday. Mrs.
Kast. as .mother of the girl, asserted
legal custody by virtue of a divorce
.decree received from J. E. Orchard.
father, at Yakima, August 19, 1910.
She declared that the child had been
. kidnaped by the father and kept in
Portland since November 16, 1919.
In reply to . these charges, Mr
Orchard filed an aaswer, and yester
day testified on the witness stand
that Mrs. Bast's present husband and
.all his relatives were imbued with
the "Nazarene Mission Faith," which
was espoused "with utter disregard of
""the child's welfare," and referred to
the alleged misconduct of the rela
tives. Attentions Held Forced.
On the stand the girl said that her
mother received the attentions of sol
diers continually and compelled her
to stay up until 2 and 3 o'clock in
the morning and accept caresses of
these "soldier boys," particularly one
favored youth by name of Francis
' K.essinger, who bought her shoes, a
"..coat and other clothing without pro
test from her mother. Sho said she
voluntarily ran away to stay with her
grandmother, Mrs. Josephine Orchard
of Portland, after her mother . had
locked doors, nailed down windows,
and thrown her to bed with the ad-
monition to "stay there."
L "Don't you think you could go back
to your mother and bo happy, Flos
. aie?" Judge Tazwell asked.
"No, sir, judge. .1 don't want to
live with my mother," was the prompt
reply. She added quickly: "But I
would like to see my brothers some
times, particularly Glenn; he's crip
pled. It was funny the way my
mother used to whip him. I'd like
to see him again."
A. C. Allen is attorney for the girl
and her father; G. A. Johnson for the
mother.

Julius H. Barnes, United States wheat
director, announced today.
Representatives of wheat and flour
trade organizations and newspapers
are requested to attend the meeting
in a letter sent out by Mr. Barnes.

ance make such a meeting imperative
in the public interest at the earliest
possible moment," Mr. Barnes de
clared. These problems, ho said, are
the present level of wheat prices and
"the apparent reluctance or tne ex
changes to return to the pre-war
conditions of open trading and re
establish the hedging facilities which
have been suspended during three
years of government "wheat control."

Wonderland." The entertainment was
held last night at the Little Theater,
under the direction of Miss Cornish

partment of the Cornish school in Se
attle.
The puppets are handsomely made
-and extremely natural looking and

strings back of the stage, while hii
man voices carry on the dialogue.
Six scenes in the adventures of Alice
were depicted. The opening one was
when she fell down the rabbit hole,
the second showed her arrival In the
home of Mister Rabbit, and her third
adventure was in a very picturesque
. forest, when Mister Caterpillar ad
vanced his philosophies. The fourth
scene was in the kitchen of the Duch

realistic trial scene and closed a de
ligntfully novel entertainment.

L FETE GALA EVENT
MOCXT TABOR. CHILDREX HOLD
MAY DAY FESTIVAL.
Preceded by Trumpeters, Fairy
Queen Installed on Throne to
View Play of Subjects.
May-day festivities at the Mount
Tabor schools yesterday were a re
sumption of a pre-war cnnual event,
put aside during the period of war
activities because neither pupils nor
teachers felt the festival epirit neces
sary to the perfect enjoyment of cele
brations. Over 600 children, all the
enrolled pupils in the Mount Tabor
school, participated in the May day
party. Preceded by six small trump
eters, the fairy queen led a lengthy
processional composed of all the
school children. Then she seated her
self on a flowery throne, her attend
ants grouped around her, and re
viewed the games, dances and May
pole dance indulged in by her sub
jecta. The queen was pretty little
Mary Pick, chosen from the graduat
ing class. Her maid of honor was
Lillian Hood and four cunning little
boys from the primary grades were
pages, while fair wee maids were the
queen's flower girls.
Three animated young lads. Frank
Springer, Frank Coleman and Alfred
Scrieber were clowns in vari-colored
costumes, and a group of important
personages in story-book realm added
interest and color in their characteri-
tion. These were Robin Hood,
played by Mary Katherine Anderson,
Maid Marion by Lillian Homesley and
Little John by Genevieve Johnson.
The orchestra from the Washington
High school played attractive melo
dies between each specialty, and
played the processional march also.

So far as Portland Is concerned, fed
eral authorities do not anticipate rad
leal demonstrations today when the
advent of Mav in Dresumed to brina:
fancies of direct action to the parlor
bolshevist and the alien "red." They
predict that May day will pass pleas-
ntly along to sunset and slumber
without any untoward local events.
even without the customary mass
meetings on the plaza blocks.
I have learned of no plan to make
tomorrow a day of radicalist dem
onstration in Portland," said United
States District Attorney Humphreys,
and am certain that nothing of the
sort is afoot whatever the situation
may be in other cities. At any rate.
we are always prepared for trouble,
Tonight at the public auditorium
the day will be rechristened as Amer
ican day and be dedicated to quite
different purposes than those for
which the alien propagandists intend
it. The meeting of citizenry from
Portland Heights to St. Johns is to
express some sentiments that are still
prevalent concerning the transfor
mation of aliens into Americans and
the meaning of patriotic principles
It Is sponsored by the Portland Serv
ice league and all are asked to attend.
Mayor Ready for Oatbreak.
Radical demonstrations and meet
ing will not be countenanced in Port
land today, according to Mayor Baker.
Rumors of -well-laid plans for a rad
leal outbreak in Portland today have
reached the ears of Mayor Baker and
he has equally well-laid plans for
the curbing of any such meetings.
' We are ready to stop any meet
ing or any demonstration." explained
the mayor. "May 1 has ceased to be
a day for an exposition of revolution
ary thoughts in America and cer
tainly in Portland. If the foreign ag
itators desire to conduct demonstra
tions, let them go to Russia, where
such affairs are popular."
The radicals will have a meeting
place, however, according to the
mayor, for an open invitation has
been issued to all radicals, socialists,
bolshevists and the like to attend the
mass meeting at the Auditorium
where Dr. Edward H. Pence will
speak on "Americanism versus Radi
calism."
Invitations Are Clrcalated1.
Yesterday officers of the Portland
Service league, the organization
which is conducting the American
day programme in Portland, circu
lated invitations among One ship
yards., the northern part of the city
and placed such invitations" In the
hands of all the radicals who could
be found.
"If there is any radical or any per
son, particularly one wno has not
been naturalized as an American cit
izen, who has not received a personal
invitation," said Ira L. Riggs, presi
dent of the league, "let him consider
himself invited.
"The meeting at the Auditorium to
night is arranged for the particular
benefit of radicals and of foreign
born. Our speaker, Dr. Pence, is
ready to talk Americanism right from
the shoulder."
Mayor Baker announced that he ap
proved of the American day demon
stration planned for the Auditorium,
and that the doors of the building
would be open to all, radical, conserv
ative, native or alien.

An ideal
dairy country
Evergreen pastures, pare mountain 'water,
temperate climate make Tillamook ideal for
dairying.
The summers when most of the cheese is
produced are pleasantly cool, of a tempera
ture about the same as the old spring house
on the farm where grandmother kept her
butter and milk.
Tillamook dairymen are constantly improving their
herds. They asked to have a special law enacted for
Tillamook County, which makes necessary the regular I
rigid testing of every cow for health. !
When you see Tillamook on the rind, it means that thsj
quality goes back to the very source of supply.
Are you using Tillamook Cheese to reduce the high cost
of living?
