Police Chiefs Testify. Introduction of notes taken at the Multnomah county grand jury hear ing In September by Tom Magulre, formerly deputy district attorney and now assistant United States attorney, caused something of a sensation In federal court yesterday afternoon in the Lena Hedderly damage suit against three federal officers for the death of her husband who was fatally wounded while attempting to esca,pe arrest September 10, 1920. Use of the notes by Barnett H. Goldstein, attorney for the plaintiff, to refresh Mr. Magulre's memory on testimony tending to impeach the testimony of William D. Morris, one of the officers involved In the shoot ing, brought forth swift rebuke from defense attorneys. Assistant United States Attorney Veatch and Elton Watkins, attorneys defending the of ficers, declared that the notes taken before the grand jury were confiden tial and not subject to use by other than members of the district attor ney's office. Notes Are Identified. The notes were relative to the tes timony of Morris before the grand jury and contained the statement "didn't swerve" relative to the wheels of the, car driven by Hedderly at the time he was shot Mr. Maguire iden tified the notes as those he had made and stated under cross-examination that he had no knowledge of the manner in which Attorney Goldstein had obtained possession of them. Goldstein stated that they had been turned over to him by Assistant Prosecut'ng Attorney Pierce. According to District Hr,ra Evans the notes such as those taken by Mr. Maguire before the grand jury are kept In the files of his office for confidential information and are not supposed to be given out for the use of lawyers In other cases. Counsel for both sides rested at the close of court. Arguments will be made when court convenes this morn ing and the case is expected to go to the jury sometime today. Ex-Chief of Police Johnson and Chief Jenkins were called by the defense and testi fied regarding the character of Hed derly. Both testified that they had nBtruciea ineir officers that he was a dangerous man and that care must be exercised in making his arrest. Impeachment Is Attempted. Delazon C Smith and W. R. Wood, two of the three defendants from whom Mrs. Hedderly Is Beeking to collect 87500 for the death of her husband, testified relative to their part in the shooting. Wood, accord ing to his statement, did not fire a shot. Smith was about a block away and fired once, according to his tes timony. Both indicated that two other officers of the party were in the street Immediately In front of Hed- derly's machine, attempting to cut off his escape at the time he was fired at Mr. Maguire was called by the plaintiff in an effort to Impeach the testimony of Morris, offered last Sat urday by the defense. Other wit nesses called by Attorney Goldstein were persons living near the scene of the shooting. They were questioned regarding the position of the automo bile when It came to a stop. WOMEN" PREPARE STATEMENT FOB VOTERS' PAMPHLET. Amendment Giving Sex Right to Serve Will Be on Ballot at Election on June 7. SALEM, Or- March 28. (Special.) Inasmuch as women are subject to all laws of the state, and to prosecu tion In cases of violation thereof, they should have the right to sit in judg ment of offenders, according to an argument filed with the secretary of state today in support of the const! tutional amendment allowing women the privilege of jury service. The argument was prepared by the Women's Legislative Council of Ore gon and will be published in the vot ers' pamphlet The proposed amend' ment was approved at the recent session of the legislature and will go before the voters at the special elec tion on June 7. "The women of Oregon, through the organization presenting this argu ment are asking for the opportunity of meeting this duty of citizenship, a duty which rightly belongs to every voter of sound mind, of good char acter, who has intelligence enough to appreciate the principles upon which our government has been founded," said the statement "We need waste neither time nor space to refute the argument that women possess these characteristics in less degree than men citizens." At the Theaters. Pantages. BR ITT WOOD, as usual, wears the blue ribbon on the new bill at Pantages. Britt always takes first prize and all the others In competi tion know it -the minute they find themselves running on the same bill with the lazy entertainer. If Britt Wood Isn't from the south, he has lived there a lot or has Inclinations In that direction. He saunters in, a shiftless-looking lad in old hayseed clothes and big old shoes, but a merry twinkle in his eye bespeaks the fun Imprisoned within. He tells about his trip to Chicago, and then takes out a mouth organ and plays cheery tunes. Urged fur ther, he plays on a banjo the while he plays also on the mouth organ, and then he steps off a few steps. His good hnmor and ability to stay in the character and at the same time entertain are worth noting. A very fine comedy act that takes a prize is "Pulley-Pulley," which de rives its name from the signals "Pull: Pull!" uttered by one acrobat and completely disregarded and misunder stood by his partner. With one seri ous partner in midair the other will call "Pulley! Pulley!" and down the serious one falls, to his utter woe and the complete joy of the audience. The act is put on by a remarkably clever pair, Permane and Shelley, and the act Is protected by copyright The acrobatlo feature Is only one part of the fun, and they keep up a chatter In French which is amusing. As a finish Permane and Shelley play gay tunes, one on the violin and one on a dwarf accordion. Their's is a c?1tal act Roy Ste-ver and Mildred Lovejoy have originated a clever introduction for their whirlwind dancing. Miss Lovejoy's dancing has an amazing acrobatic quality and a grace and daring that delight and thrill. She plays the role of a girl who meets a young man In an unconventional way and steps out to step with him. The dancing of Mr. Stever is excel lent too. The scenio investiture of the act is gorgeous-and in lighting and color It Is unique. The Molera Revue revtals six very fine vocalists with their own pianist, a clever and talented man. They spe cialize In operatic airs and delight with the lovely harmony of their blended voices. The act Is staged handsomely and the seven appear In quaint artistic dress. Paul Kleist Is a pantomime artist who whistles and plays on instru ments on a darkened stage with a clever contrivance of lights so that objects appear and reappear unex pectedly. The effect is novel and wins . applause. Panl appears as a clown and appropriately labels the act "The Land of Dreams." George Hinkle has a nice deep sing ing voice and, with Kitty Mae, puts "BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES OF AGED WOOER OF IMMIGRANT BOHEMIAN GIRL SHOW METHOD USED IN EFFORTS TO WIN BRIDE. i-; . j I i" ' i" ' t XLi J i --at- -y hvv-.-f - ' ' ' - - A t - - h v a ! i ' . c - i Left Anton LIkt, Scio farmer, it kt appeared In photograph sent to girl In Bohemia daring progress oi his "picture bride" court ship.

Hawley, president of the Hawley Pulp & Paper company, awaits decision by the Ore gon supreme court emphatically de nied today that she had made ar rangements to enter motion-picture work, following her recent return from California. "If I keep on getting publicity, I probably will be In the movies," she smiled, amusedly. "But there Is no truth in the report that I have ar ranged to go Into movie work In California." Reports became widely circulated following Mrs. Hawley's return from the south that she had obtained a promise of GaVln McHab, San Fran cisco attorney, to argue her case In the supreme court and that an ar rangement had been made by which any possible financial stringency would be averted by services in motion pictures. Chris Schuebel. attorney for Mrs. Hawley In the divorce trial In the Clackamas county court, would neither affirm nor deny the report that his client would take up motion picture work.

DREAM OF ROMANCE ENDS Girl Says Photograph Misrepre sents Scio Man Who Paid $400 for Journey to America. As a prospective "picture bride" Olga Bankova, buxom Bohemian girl, 23 years old, lived up to all advance representations, but Anton Llski. 65-year-old Bohemian farmer of Scio, Or did not play Cupid's gams ac- cording to Hoyle and thereby lost out as the prospective husband of the girl from Bohemia. Llskl ran into the police detective bureau 'Sunday saying that Miss Ban kova, to whom he was to be married yesterday, disappeared from her room at the Matthieson hotel early Sun day morning. He was certain that the girl had fallen into the hands of evil companions. Girl's Dreams Shattered. Investigation yesterday by Joe Morak, police detective, disclosed that the girl had sought refuge at -the Y. W. C. A. Her dreams of romance in America had been rudely shat tered. "I took one look at him and nearly dropped dead," the girl told the de tective in German, through an Inter preter. It then developed that LiskI had been dealing from the bottom of the deck in love's gambling game. He procured the girl's promise to marry him through correspondence and through the exchange of pictures. But Liski is 55 years old and shows his age. Hi3 hands are gnarled.

And she puncuated her remarks with a sug gestive shrug of the shoulders. LiBkl tried vainly yesterday to win back the affections of his near-bride, for it had cost him 8400 to bring her to Portland from her native land, and 8400 Is a lot of money even for a fru gal Bohemian farmer. "I am sure there must be some mis take," he insisted. "The picture sent her looks much like I do today, although" and here he squared back his shoulders In an effort to hide his age "it was taken a few years ago. During her trip across the conti nent Miss Bankova has been guided by the Travelers Aid society, and she had on her a letter from the Trav elers1 Atd at Chicago notifying Port land off'cials that if the young wom an's romance is not fulfilled through her meeting with Llskl, the Chicago organization will send the money for her return to that city, where it will watch over her until she Is able to return home, or able to take cars of herself. Thoughts of Marriage Worry Girt Miss Bankova told Detective Morak that she remained awake nearly all Saturday night trying to decide what to do. Every time she got a mental picture of Llskl she wanted to flee, she cared not where, although she realized that he had expended goodly sum to bring her to America. But when Sunday morning came and brought her to a realization that In another day she was expected to marry the Scio farmer, she crossed the Rubicon of blighted romance. She burned with Indignation as she thought of Liski's duplicity in the matter of the photograph exchange. and decided to run away. She was so sick of it all that she forgot and left her personal belongings in the little drab hotel room which Llskl had procured for her. A kindly disposed pedestrian guided her to the Y. W. C.
