West to Claim BridQ.
5 CHILDREN IN BARGAIN
Julia Minkovsky, 2 6, Bohemian,
D-ivorced From Draft Evader,
Quits Post at University.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Or.. May 6. (Special.) In the paBt
nine months, Julia Miskovsky, 26
years old, a Bohemian, has learned to
read and write English, cook, tenta
tively accepted a wealthy Bohemian
as her husband and is now on her
way to his home in Exeter, Neb., with
him and her own five children. She
is divorced from her first husband.
Last September she started out as
one of the assistants in the kitchen
of Friendly hall, men's dormitory on
the campus. At that time she could
speak but few English words and
could write only in Bohemian.
Miss Camilla Leach, a member of
the university faculty, became inter
tstcr rn her and helped her with Eng
lish and the matron of the hall gave
her lessons in cooking-
Atl was well until Tuesday morning
when a strange man came to the hall
and asked for Julia."
"I am going to marry her," he an
nounced. He was directed to her home and
after an hour, had passed the two
were seen strolling along hand-in-hand.
Then the Bohemian 'girl re
ported that she would give up her
job to leave withthe newcomer, who
is J. Moravec, a. Bohemian, 65 years
old, and a widower with three grown
children.
Article on Oregon Read.
The prospective bridegroom, it de
veloped, had become interested in
Julia through an article on Oregon
she had written for a Bohemian paper.
He says it contained enough of Julia's
life to interest him in Jier and cor
respondence ensued. When he asked
her to marry him, she accepted, and
he came to claim her, but Julia has
distasteful memories of married life,
however, since her former husband
deserted her during the war in order
to evade the draft by going to South
America, so she decided she wished
to see Mr: Moravee's home before de
ciding definitely about her future, so
ee Bohemian widower has agreed to
tike her back to Nebraska, let her look
over the town of Exeter and his home
end then to pay her railroad fare to
wherever she chooses if she does not
care enough for him.
Children Gathered Up.
Today, the two are gathering up
the five children to take with them
to Nebraska. They got William, aged
11, from a farm near Eugene, where
people were caring for him, and now
have gone to get the younger chil
dren. Two, aged 9 and 7. are at the
Catholic home in Oregon City, and two
aged 5 and 2 at the baby home at
Oswego.
Mr. Moravec has been in this coun
try since he was nine years old and
speaks English well. He is a respeeted

OPINION HITS HOSPITALS
Washington Decision Bars Liquor
Possession by Hospital.
. OLYMPIA, Wash., May 6. (Spe
cial.) Hospitals In the state of
Washington may not lawfully possess
and dispense intoxicating liquors
other than alcohol ror medicinal pur
poses, ' Attorney-General Thompson
holds in an opinion transmitted to
the prosecuting attorney of Kittitas
county. '
The opinion cites provisions of the
initiative measure passed in 1917
which make it unlawful for any per
son other than a clergyman, priest
or rabbi in certain cases to give
away, furnish or otherwise dispose of
intoxicating liquor other than alcohol,
and also the provisions of the 18th
amendment, which only prohibits the
manufacture, sale and transportation
of intoxicating liquor for beverage
purposes and therefore, by implica
tion at least, recognizes its legiti
mate use for other purposes.
Decision to Have Alienists Examine
Slayer Believed Cause of Ac
tion by County Officials.
LOS ANGELES. May 6. Walter
Andrew Watson, who today pleaded
guilty to a grand Jury indictment
charging murder, will be the subject
of a conference tomorrow morning by
District-Attorney Thomas Lee Wool
wine and other county officials, and
J. Morgan Marmaduke, Watson's at
torney, it was announced tonight.
The exact nature of the conference
was not disclosed, although it was
stated unofficially "all the cards
would be laid on the table," but it was
believed to be a result of the decision
by Judge Frank R. Willis of the
criminal department of the superior
court, to whom Watson made his
plea, to. appoint alienists to investi
gate the prisoners claims to Insan
ity. Sentence will be imposed next
Mpnday.
Watson 1b Prison Ward.
Watson tonight was -again in the
prison ward of the county hospital,
where he received a large boquet of
red roses left at the hospital by a
woman who drove there in an ex
pensive limousine, but who did not
leave her name. The flowers arrived
shortly after his return from pleading
guilty to the murder of Niua Lee De
loney, one of five women he is said
to have testified killing.
The grand Jury acted with speed
today in returning the indictment
against Watson, who was taken soon
afterward from the hospital to Judge
Willis' court room in the hall of jus
tice. He told the court his true name
was James P. Watson, and it was with
the use of that name the legal pro
ceedings against him were conducted.
Watson Hears Indictment.
Watson sat with bowed head while
the grand jury reported and was then
ordered to the bar. There he stood
while the long indictment was read
to him.
"You have heard the indictment.
James Watson, how do you plead?
said the deputy.-
"Guilty," was thev whispered re
sponse. A large crowd filled the courtroom
in the hall of justice, where the grand
jury reported and the plea was heard.

WASTE TO BECOME FUEL
Alcohol to Be Made From Sugar
cane and Pineapple Stock.
HONOLULU, T. H, May 6. (Special.)
-With but three months' gasoline
supply on hand and not even a prom
ise of any more for the future, Ha
waii is commencing to investigate the
possibilities of making motor fuel
from the waste of sugar cane and
pineapples. J. P. Foster of the Maui
Agricultural company, on the Island
of Maui, has patented a process where
by motor fuel is made from alcohol
secured from molasses which is left
in the extraction of sugar from the
cane. A plant to make such motor
fuel is now being built on the Island
of Hawaii and the California Packing
corporation has obtained the rights
for Honolulu, its factory for this pur
pose having been erected some months
ago. It plans a 1200-gallon daily out
put to start with, this to be increased
as time goes on.

disabilities. These figures, said to
represent the first authentic tabula
tion, were made public here today by
the committee for aid to disablecUnvet

surgical cases, 62,869 eye, ear, nose

months, and the present lessee i
formed the committee that although
he had no assurance that he could
obtain a renewal of the lease, the
owner of the building had informed
him that the lease would be nego
tiated on a higher rental basis. The
lessee informed the committee that
he believed he could obtain $5000 for
the furniture in the building if he
was forced to abandon the project.
Another case coming before the
committee was that of the Classic

apartment housi contains eight three
room and 12 two-room apartments.
The rental paid to the owner of the
building is $325 a month. The com

concerning th-3 original cost of the
lease four years ago, but learned that
the furniture in the house cost about
$3500. About two months ago, the
committee said, the lease and furni-
FIGHT MAY GO ON BALLOT
Bonney 'Willing to Oppose Grone-
waJd for School Head.
THE DALLES, Or., May 6. (Spe
cial.) The challenge issued by Su
perintendent Gronewald of The Dalles
that Clyde T. Bonney of Antelope op
pose Coimty School Superintendent
Gronewald for nomination as repub
lican candidate for county school
superintendent of Wasco county, has
been accepted by Mr. Bonney. While
he has not actually tossed his hat
into the political ring, he has indi
cated that it will be to his liking
to oppose the present incumbent of
the office.
The only way Mr. Bonney could
now enter the fight for nomination
would be by having his name written
in by voters at the polls.
Mr. Bonney asserted that Grone
wald has no right to be county
superintendent because he holds no
certificate.
Packer, Addressing Assembly at
Chinook, Urges Necessity of
Preventing Slaughter,
f
CHINOOK, Wash, May 6. (Spe
cial.) That a serious and threatening
situation confronts the salmon fish
ing Industry on the Columbia river,
and that the salmon runs are destined
to be depleted in a very few years if
steps are not taken immediately to
protect them, was told to an assem
blage of Baker's bay trapmen by A.
L. Gile, president of the Chinook
Packing company, at a meeting
Tuesday- night.
"The lower river packers," said Mr.
Gile, "men who have devoted a life
time of study and spent years in ob
serving conditions affecting the sal
mon industry, are certain that a crisis
is at hand, and that the fishing in
dustry on the Columbia will be ruined
if steps are not taken to prevent the
wholesale slaughter of young and
immature salmon, exactly as it has
been on Puget Sound.
xney nave tnererore signed an
agreement not to purchase or accept
any salmon weighing less than eight
pounds. This aiay seem like a hard
ship on fishermen, but I am con
vinced that .for every dollar lost by
the fishermen by the lack of these
sales, there will be ten dollars profit
made in later years.
