One, of the first to reach the scene of the accident was A. L. Mlchaelis, traveling representative of the Ely AValker company of St. Louis, who is registered at the Portland hotel. Mr. Mlchaelis was on his way from Astoria to Portland and brought de tails to the city last night. "When I was about eight miles east of Astoria," he said last night, "my machine was stopped by a woman who stood is the middle of the road and frantically waved her hands. She directed me down a short embank ment where I saw the. overturned automobile and two men, who were attempting to right it. They called to me to help them and then we three tried to drag some of the bodies from the water. I could see Mr. Don nerberg In the clear stream. He was pinned beneath the wreckage and his face and body were completely sub merged. Lying upon him in a cross wise position was a man, whose name I later learned to be Dawson. We succeeded in bringing these two up the bank. By this time quite a crowd had collected and everyone helped to bring the car back to position. "Then we saw the little 5-year-old girl. We carried her to the bank y and I could plainly see her breath ing. Soon we found the other bodies. All the victims were unconscious, hut (Concluded on Face 8, Column 2.) Fate of Chickens, If Eggs Had Been Allowed to Hatch, Raises Per plexing Query for Xaturallst. WHITE SALMON, Wash., March 28. G. C. Crow, mayor of White Salmon, owns a ben that has always been eccentric. In her youthful days she evinced a liking for high places and chose to roost at night in the top of a tree, rather than on the perch pro vlded for her, with her brothers and sisters.. This spring the family were con vinced that the hen had stolen a nest but could not locate It, until one day recently tbey heard the familiar an nouncement that an egg had been laid, and the hen was seen to fly out of a tall fir tree. A neighbor's boy was borrowed, who "shinned" up the tree, to discover, at least 40 feet above the ground, in an abandoned squirrel's nest, six large hen's eggs. All but one were taken away, and the eccentric one continues to use the squirrel's nest Here is a query for John Burroughs' nature notes: If the eggs had been allowed to have hatched, what would have become of the chicks, and would the mother have have taught them to fly? WALLA WALLA. Wash., March 28. The Kansas biddy that layed what was consdered to be the largest egg on record has been outlayed by a Barred Plymouth Rock hen owned by Roy Harshberger of this city. This biddy celebrated Easter by laying an egg weighing an even 4V4 ounces. The egg was 8 inches in circum ference the long way.

LITIGATION TANGLE SOLVED Rise in Value of Capital In vestment Held Taxable. ANY GAIN IS SUBJECT Treasury Is Relieved by Decision on Assessments Under Excess Profits and Income Acts. WASHINGTON, D. C, March 28. Three victories were won by the gov ernment today in the supreme court interpretation of the term "income" for the assessment of taxes under the income and excess profits acts. The court held that any gain de rived from corporation securities or corporate assets and any Increase in the value of a capital investment, when realized, is taxable as income. The opinions were indorsed by the entire court. Solicitor-General Fricrson inter preted the opinions as upholding all the contentions of the government and said they would go far toward re lieving the treasury department of inconveniences resulting from the multi-angled tax litigation facing it for. the last year. ' Estimate Available. No estimate could be obtained as to the amount affected by the court's action. Apparently with a view of early clearing the docket of all Important tax questions, the court, before re cessing until April 11, advanced to that date hearing of arguments in the Insurance dividend case, the corpora tion reorganization case and the in heritance tax case. The first involves taxation of divi dends applied as partial payment to insurance premiums, the second ap plies to stock received from the re organization of a corporation In this case the Du Pont Powder company and the last whether inheritance taxes can be deducted from taxable Income, Word "Income" Defined. The "key case" selected for decision today was the appeal brought by the Merchants' Loan & Trust company, as trustee of the estate of Arthur Ryerson of Chicago, from decisions of Illinois courts upholding assessments levied by Internal revenue officials on profits realized through sale of cer tain trust assets. Included in . the trust fund were 9500 shares of s,tock in Joseph T. Ryerson & Son, a cor- ( Concluded on Page 2. Column 1.)

Later Mr. Harding joined Mrs. Harding, Mrs. Coolidge and others on the east portico, overlooking the lawn. He was greeted with a shout and a field of waving arms, each with an egg clutched in a band grown grimy with the sport.

STATE SEEKS $40,000 Aid to Family Declared Promised for Fraudulent Statements to Reduce Overdraft, ' MEDFORD, Or., March 28. (Spe cial.) William H. Johnson, ex-president and cashier of the Bank of Jack sonville, the state's star , witness in the criminal and civil cases arising out of the failure of the bank, gave highly sensational testimony again at today's trial in circuit court at Jack sonville. The trial was that of the civil suit of the state banking board against A. W. Walker, Medford automobile dealer, to recover approximately $40, 000. alleged to be due the defunct bank. The alleged debt was itemized as an overdraft of 837,759.95 and promisory notes for 850, 8830 and $950, with Interest and attorney's fees. - Mr. Johnson's first allegations of questionable dealings and jugglery In carrying on the affairs of the bank were made at the recent criminal action against Ben 1'. Collins. Grants Pass automobile dealer, who was ac quitted at thai trial of the charge of aiding and abetting a bank official to defraud. Court Visitors Stacsered. Mr. Johnson staggered the court spectators again today with further revelations, made as in the first trial, without attempting to shield himself. "Shortly after I was arrested," testified Johnson, "Mr. Walker visited me in .the county jail and we talked together' in the corridor of the Jail. He told me that there was an uproar over the closing of the bank and that many people blamed me. "He said he would try and help me all he could, but it would hustle him to pay anything just now. Proposition Is Alleged. "He made a proposition that I em ploy fraudulent bank statements to reduce his overdraft. He said that if I would do this he would pay the money to my family, who were in financial straits." Johnson then produced a number of bank statements, with sums written in, and which he said he had found in a magazine, given him in jail. He declared that ho and Jailer Moses had kept the slips in their possession. They were introduced by the plain tiff's attorney, George M. Roberts, ex-county prosecutor, as evidence. Court Is Adjourned. At this juncture and' before the cross-examination of Mr. Johnson, court adjourned, Johnson entering the plea that .he had an appointment with a doctor at 5 o'clock. He was I suffering from a severe cold. j Johnson testified that he had j altered the bank books to meet ex-1 igencies arising with the Walker ac- count and that he had advanced sums j from his personal account, which, he pointed out, totalled $5510 credited to Walker and for which the Bank of Jacksonville received nothing in payment. He also identified a ledger sheet, notes, deposits, slips and checks introduced as evidence by the plain tiff. Defense Makes Objection. The first state witness called at the afternoon session was E. D. Hau ler, assistant superintendent of banks, who testified that a ledger sheet of the Walker account had been made up with the exception of about $4500 from the Information furnished by Johnson. Upon objection of the defense, the court instructed the jury to disre gard all the exhibit founded upon the hearsay evidence of Johnson. The defense counbel was augmented by the appearance of Elbert Hermann of Portland, ion of Binger Hermann, well-known Oregon politician and pioneer and a boyhood friend of the defendant. It required the calling of a spe cial venire to obtain the jury today In the Walker case. This is the third and last of the Important civil cases, the first two resulting in judg ments for the plaintiff. PANAMA PROTEST LIKELY Another Effort to Resist White Award Is Expected. WASHINGTON, D. C, March .28.

Profiteering In Obscenity Is Charged and Xudity on Stage Causes Protest. . PARIS, March 28. (Special cable.) The acknowledged immorality of a large number of plays now on view in the Paris theaters caused Minister of Justice Bonne vay, at yesterday's session of the senate to promise to niiroauce a nui to put an ena to wnai he termed "profiteering in obscenity." The subject was brought up by Sena tor Gustave de la Narzelle, who pil loried a number of the current the atrical attractions as a disgrace to France and a great danger to youth. Among the play he denounced "I Amour en Folle," a revue at the Fol lies Bergere, which has just closed, and in which one of the climaxes was the crucifixion of three nude women; "Les Hermes n' en Saurent Rien," which deals with the moral condi tions said to have prevailed in ancient times in the Island of Lesbos; "Tout Feu, Tou Flamme," in which is a re alistic scene in a brothel; "Beguin de Regime" and "'978, Mais Pas Touts Nu." In discussing the latter piece. Sena tor de la Narzelle said: "The women in this play have for costume only a pair of stockings. The name of the play itself is not only an attraction to the public but a criti cism of our present laws, which do not permit the police to interfere with the theatrical performances so long as the women in them wear anything at all, if it is only a single piece of jewelry." Minister of the Interior Marraud declared the laws .were not violated and then Minister Bonnevay prom ised to introduce a new bill to make such performances impossible, saying: "There are today a number of men who seek to make fortunes by ruin ing public morals. That is the most scandalous of all speculations and 1 can say positively that these traf fickers in obscenity will be vigorously prosecuted by the courts." Minister Bonnevay will undoubtedly introduce a bill, but when it comes to a vote cynical observers hint that it will meet the same fate as numerous other similar measures which the sen ate has applauded but has taken good care to defeat. While Senator De la Narzelle denounced the last revue at the Folies Bergere, theatergoers de clare that the present revue there is an ever more scandalous one, for at one time there are not less than 40 practically nude women on the stage.

CASH NOT NEEDED NOW Workers Instructed to Bring Out Fact That Payments May Be Made In Installments. From the moment that Muyor Baker ripped open the lid of Port land's commun'ty chest at noon yes terday, until late last night, hundreds of workers were pulling on the heart strings of Portland citizens In an ap peal for aid for the helpless, sick, homeless anl cheerless folk who must depend upon the public for assistance. Although meager were the actual reports which were returned to head quarters, the returns were indicative of success for the drive, success, how ever, which hinges upon the support of every person in Portland. Workers Too Busy to Report. The telephone in headquarters brought messages from colonels and captains explaining that they were too busy making the rounds to is sue their reports. However, arrange ments have been made by Mayor Baker, generalissimo of the campaign, and his aides, whereby two reports will be made daily in order that tho people of the city may know of the progress from day to day. Partial reports added to amounts reported Saturday night show that $112,792 has been subscribed, al though the complete reports will probably bring the results of the first day's canvass to approximately $200,000. i Firemen Help Camnatcn. Several fire companies dashing wildly from their respective houses to Sixth and Morrison streets, with bells ringing and sirens shrieking, brought several thousand I ergons to the community chest headquarters at noon. It was hero that Mayor Eaker lifted the lid of a small chest, ou of which rose little Miss 'Agnes Car'.con, best known as "Tiny," supported by crutches. From the bottom of the chest "Tiny" lifted the goidon key for the community chest which was opened by the mayor, marking the of ficial opening of the week's cam paign. As Mayor Baker unlocked the chest and tore the lock from Its holdings, a huge sign arose on top of the chest telling Portland to "fill ic up." Snrcess Declared Aauirl. ' "Portland has never failed and Portland never will," shouted the mayor to the largo gathering and ths cheers which g.-eetcd this remark were assurance that the $850,000 quota sought will roil Into tne chest before tle week comes to a oose. "This Is a community effort." paid Mayor Baker in his short informal talk to the crowd. "Portland Is a cos mopolitan city and Is composed of many sorts of folk. There are people In Portland whom I do not like and there are some people in this city who do not like me. But 1 won't leave Portland on that account, and neither will they. "There may be some Institution In the list which you don't like. But don't forget that there are pet chari ties of yours that other people don't like but they are supporting the cam paign and so should you. It means the Btopping of waste and duplication and the curtailment of much over head expenses, not to mention the re lief to you people of not being called upon to aid charity every other day." Cask Not Neeessary. At the meeting attended by colonels and captains at the Hotel Portland, stress was laid on the fact that cash Is not particularly wanted In this campaign. ' The liberal payment plan, which in- ' eludes either the payment . of sub scriptions monthly or quarterly, was explained and workers will be In structed to explain this feature when soliciting for funds. Many persons, it was found yesterday, were of the opinion that cash was required, but when told of the monthly payment plan Increased their subscription sev eral times over. The experience gained In other campaigns was shown by many of the 200 captains, recruited by the 20 colonels who have been placed in charge of the Intensive quest to be conducted in the business section on each side of the river. No time was lost In placing the huge army of soli citors 'n their respective sectors, for all the preliminary details, such as distr'buting of supplies. Instructional literature and the like, had been com pleted with the close of last week. Early Start In Gained. One of the pleasing features of thf community chest campaign Is that ' many of the old-time leaders did not wait for the official opening of the drive, but had their district organiza tions well under way the latter part of last week and several colonels pre dicted that they will have their terrl.
