Man dishonorably Discharged
From Marines Enlist in Canada
and Is Cited for Bravery. ,
THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1921
As'siipimeiit
When war was declared In 1917,
E. L. Medley possessed the spirit of
thousands of other American men. He
wanted to go to war. He read the
signs on the street corners "The First
to Fight" and enlisted with the ma
rines. Several months later he was
in a general courtmartial and became
an "example" as a warning to other
men. He was dishonorably dis
charged.
This country lost trace of Medley.
All other countries lost trace of the
name E. L. Medley. He went' to Can
ada, enlisted In the Canadian army
under an assumed name. He did
valiant service, was cited for bravery,
and came out', of uniform and back
.to civilian life' the possessor of an
honorable discharge from a govern
ment not his own. The discharge he
had received from the marines had
taken away his citizenship.
Yesterday Medley appeared In the
federal court of Judge Bean, where
petitions for naturalization were be
ing heard. He told his story with
out hesitation, admitted his discharge
from American service, but protested
his loyalty. Witnesses substantiated
his statements, and Medley is now
reinstated as an American citizen.
Of the 60 applicants for citizenship
who passed before Judge Bean yes
terday less than half were- accepted.
Many of them could not show the
necessary educational Qualifications,
and were told to return to their
homes, read American history, and
acquaint themselves with the affairs
of our government.
Draft evaders were granted little
leniency, and men who admitted
under oath that they had been boot
leggers were treated In a like
manner.

The inevitable has happened the firm of R. M: Gray, Inc., Men's and Women's Clothing, has
made a voluntary assignment for the benefit of the Company's creditors.
For years the firm has been' struggling under a handicap of which the public knew nothing.
Eight years ago the firm lost heavily in the handling of its lease on the
Broadway Building. Figuratively speaking, it broke its back.
Despite this serious wound, it made a brave
fight through all the years intervening in its
present location repeatedly securing new
footing only to lose it again through circum
stances over which the management had no
control.

In a test case recently initiated by
Thomas H. Boyd, commander of Port
land post of the American Legion, for
the purpose of getting a supreme
ccurt ruling which would facilitate
the sale of bonds provided for in the
I. H. Van Winkle, attorney-general,
and Willis S. Moore, assistant attorney-general,
filed their answer
yesterday to the Boyd suit In the
Multnomah circuit court. Franklin
K. Korell, attorney for Mr. Boyd, and
Maurice K. Crumpacker, deputy dis
trict attorney, who will appear with
Stanley Myers, district attorney, as
friends of the court In the action,
held a conference with Judge Staple
ton later. In which the Jurist prom
ised to pass on the matter without
unnecessary delay.
In the answer filed, the state of
Oregon and the bonus commission
contended that the objections to the
law raiKed by the plaintiff were tech
nical, trivial and did not invalidate
the legislation. It was conceded that
entries in the legislative journals
were slightly irregular, but It was
held that they were sufficient. The
fact that a viva voce vote Instead of
a ballot by yeas and nays was taken
In the house Is not a valid objection,
it also was alleged.

land. He was married but a few
weeks ago.
The scene of the fight at last brought the firm up to that proverbial stone
wall, the surmounting of which could not be accomplished in good busi
ness form.

to its creditors to do with it as they thought best in order tQ get the
money due them.
It has been decided to sell it at once at whatever sacrifice necessary to
get quick action. Mr. Gray and his old force of assistants are retained in
charge of selling.
