This is the final chap ter of Dolecki's mall order romance with the woman who later was ar rested charged with larceny of a dwelling house, polygaflTy and lar ceny by bailee. The complaint, brought in by Mor ris Goldstein, attorney- for Dolecki, recites details of the whole process by which Mrs. De Snell became Maria Dolecki March 5, 1919. Want Ad Start Romance. In August, 1918, Dolecki is alleged to have received a publication called "The Messenger," which deals in mat rimonial affairs and which is printed in Los Angeles. In It he found the following attractive advertisement: "Butte, Mont., I am an all-round business woman; make $175 monthly; have $17,000 saved; am 42 years old; haight 5 feet 5 inches, weight 162; auburn hair; gray eyes; fair com plexion; play the piano and mandolin; widow by death; no children: very fond of home; wish to correspond with a sober gentleman not necessarily wealthy; I have more than enough to live on, so will marry for love and companionship." Five Photographs Seat. Dolecki says he was a bachelor and lonesome and answered the advertise ment. He received a letter from the Montana correspondent August 13 when he was working at Hoquiam. He alleges that the woman promised to send her photograph as soon as she could reach home after transact ing business affairs. On October 25 he received five photos of "her beau tiful self and she invited him to travel to Butte to see her "because she meant business." The plaintiff quit work and early In November went to Montana. He called at the address given and rang the doorbell at the home four times before receiving an answer. A Mr. De Snell. who he later learned, was the husband of the correspondent, finally showed him in when he pro duced the letter from the matrimonial bureau. Woman' Sends Him Away. A woman "with her forehead cov ered by a bunch of rags" came into the room and instructed him to go to Salt Lake, where he would receive a letter from his sweetheart, he recites in the complaint. This woman, Dolecki says, he later found, to be Mrs. De Snell. He went to Los Angeles and finally to Portland. On December 17 he received three letters telling him his future wife had spent much money trying to locate him and wanted him to send money to bring her to Los Angeles. Another note Instructed him to tele graph $50, as she had been detained en route, but would come soon. At last Dolecki went to Seattle to meet the woman and learned she had gone to Portland. Upon his return, he al leges, he found ler here and that she asked immediately for $30 a month for apartment rent and $10 for mandolin, he says. She also is alleged to have taken his pay check. Pair . Wed in Portland. On March 3, it is further recited the pair went to Vancouver to get married, but were unable to get a license because they lacked witnesses. They completed arrangements and were married by Judge Gatens of Portland. Dolecki says he went back to work March 5 and when he came home at night found his place empty and only a note stating that his bride had been called to Chicago, where her sister was ill. The plaintiff alleges he found his suitcase unlocked and $100 in war saving stamps and $250 in cash missing, also $6000 in mining certificates. These certificates, he says, were returned to him the fol lowing day in the mail. His wife, he charges, also took a watch, which she had purchased with the understanding he was to pay for it.

The logging industry of Oregon and Washington is now using about 1.000.000 barrels of fuel oil annually in logging locomotives and donkey engines, stated the Ideal forest serv ice office yesterday. The local office has just completed a canvass of the fuel oil requirements of the lumber men of these states. The use of oil, in place of wood or coal, in the forests so greatly aids in protection against forest fires, that the forest service, as well as the tim ber interests, is concerned with the increasing difficulty of obtaining supplies of oil. The actual amount of fuel oil re ported as used by the logging indus try of Oregon and Washington in 1919 was 844,864 barrels, more than 90 per cent of which was in the Douglas fir region west or the Cascade range. The imount tt is estimated will be used n the last six months of 1920 is 692.- 212 barrels. Forest officials state that It would be a blow to forest conservation and lessen the timber wealth of the region if donkey engines and logging loco motives which now use oil as fuel had to go back to spark-creating wood or coal fuel.

Fleas for the development of foreign trade through the American merchant marine as means for securing the peace of the world and returning this country to a stabilized condition were made at the National Marine Exposition to night by Admiral W. S. Benson, chair man of the shipping board, and Ed ward N. Hurley. chairman of the board during the war. Both characterized the merchant marine as a promoter of peace, Dut each took up the subject from a dif ferent angle. ' Mr. Hurley advocated an interna tional credit plan patterned after ex isting co-operative marketing associ ations, with the American merchant marine as the nucleus of the plan and a national bond issue of from $100,000,000 to $160,000,000 to finance it. Admiral Benson saw in the mer chant marine a means for uniting the nations of the world and knitting them Into closer contact, thus stim ulating better relations and promoting peace. Credit lCeeded In Europe. "If the social and economic condi tions of the world are to become more stabilized It will be poesible only when the nations of Europe have worked out their economic problems," said Mr. Hurley. "Most of the nations of Europe will work out these problems in the next few years and we, who are abundantly able, should be the ones now to sup ply them with credit and materials, that we may later have them on our books as permanent customers. - "A plan could be adopted under which marketers of the diverse prod ucts could co-operatively work out a system of credits and within limits paralleling some of the existing co operative marketing associations in this country. "Through the medium of a corpora tion, a collateral bond issue of from $100,000,000 to $150,000,000 could be created to bear interest at 8 per cent and to run three years possibly five." Commerce Promote Peace. Admiral Benson said: "Commercial Intercourse promotes peace. Increased overseas shipping facilities mean increased opportun ities for peace promotion. Commer cial contact spreads intelligence. Spread the gospel of honest com munication over land, over seas, through the air and under water. These are modern weapons against world Ignorance, the cause of many wars. "Our merchant marine was built to meet a world emergency. It is today equipped to promote world peace." Charles Pies, former director-general of the emergency fleet cor poration, urged that foreign trade and the merchant marine should be developed hand in hand. but that America's shipping should, for the time being at least, be under control of the shipping board.
