District Supreme Justice la Wash
ington Bars Probe of Ac
tion by Legislatures.
WASHINGTON, July 13. Justice
Bailey in the district supreme court
today dismissed proceedings brought
by Charles Fairchilds of New York,
president of the American constitu
tional league, to prevent the promul
gation of ratification of the suffrage
amendment and to test the validity
of the equal suftrage law.
The court held that it was with
out authority to inquire into the
action of the state legislatures in
ratifying the suffrage amendment,
and that it had no authority to pass
upon the validity of such an amend
ment. Mr. Fairchilds indicated he
would appeal to the supreme court
of the United States.
The -court's action followed a peti
tion by Bainbrtdge Colby, secretary
of state, and A. Mitchell Palmer, attorney-general,
to dismiss the proceedings.
Government counsel pointed out
that the necessary number of states
have not notified the secretary of
state of the ratification of the suf
frage amendment and that therefore
no proclamation is imminent.

been burned over, according to infor

aid, and has spread north to the
Flagstaff -Williams highway.
Firefighters are making every ef

in Black Bill park, north of here, a
fire which burned over three sections.
He is accused of having left a camp

813 Children on 1058 Acres At
tend School 48 Weeks of
Year, Says Governor.
Professor Albert Bushnell Hart,
professor of American government at
Harvard, and John J. Lents, former
representative from Ohio, both mem
bers of the board of governors of
Moosehart, the institution conducted
by the Loyal Order of Moose for the
orphans and widows of members,
were guests at dinner, last night, of
the past dictators and officers of
Portland lodge No. 291 at the Port
land hotel.
During the dinner the band of
Portland lodge serenaded the diners
from the street, and afterwards gave
a concert in their honor in front of
the hotel.
Judge R. G. Morrow, one of the
past dictators, acted as toastmaster
and introduced Dr. Hart, who made
a brief address. Dr. Hart told of the
wonderful advantages offered the
children of members at Moosehart
and of the system of self discipline
by which the Institution is managed.
"There are now 813 children on 1058
acres, said Dr. Hart, "and they have
4S weeks or school each year. When
a child is old enough to learn a trade
or a vocation it is taught him or her.
jn graduation me children are
turned out in the world fully equipped
to meet any emergency and with
trade at their finger tips.
"As an educator I say that there is
no similar Institution in the world bo
successfully conducted as. Moosehart.
The children are required to spend a
part of their time In the fresh air
each day and in consequence the sick
list is lower than in any other similar
institution. Many children from Ore
gon are being cared for and educated
there, and they will be a credit to
their state.
Mr. Lentz, who was one of the
original board of governors, told how
he had succeeded in interesting Dr.
Hart in the institution, and how the
professor had since made it a life
work. He spoke of the ideals and
aims of the order, and the wonderful
training given the children. Mr. Lentz
was on the board that was sent to
Europe in charge of the work of the
oraer during the war.
Mayor Baker was among those
present but did not make an address
as he was pressed for time. He wel
comed Professor Hart and Mr. Lentz
informally to the city and apologized
lor nis departure.

Many ladies are "compelled to dis

weight is put on the foot, this bone
leans inward, causing the bone rest-J
ing on it to do likewise.
This condition can be corrected, and
