Ex-Minister Pleads Guilty to
Violating Mann Act.
Moving Picture Ts ewsll
ADMISSION IS SURPRISE
Prisoner Will Be Taken to McNeil
( Island to Begin Service; Wife
and Daughter Weep.
The Rev. Free R. Royston. ex
pastor of a Methodist Kplscopal
church in Salem, was sentenced to
nerve 18 months on McNeil Island
yesterday morning, when he pleaded
Kuilty to a charge of having violated
the Mann act by transporting Frankie
Kd wards, a 19-year-old . girl from
Salem to Centralia, Wash. The sen
tence was pronounced by Judge It. S
Bean In the federal court.
Koyston waived trial and placed
himself on the mercy of the court.
When the sentence was passed he
showed no emotion.
Wife and DasKhtrr Weep.
Mrs. Royston and the 11-year-old
daughter, who were deserted by the
minister last summer for the Ed
wards girl, stood beside their husband
and father In the court room and it
was not until they had retired into
the office of United States Marshal
Hotchkiss that they broke down and
shed teara.
Several weeks ago Royston entered
a. plea of not guilty and it was a
complete Burprifie to Assistant United
states Attorney Hall Lusk, who had
prepared the prosecution, when the
ex-minister changed his plea to
guilty.
In imposing the sentence Judge
Bean declared:
"I an) not sure but what the min
ister's calling makes the offense
greater. There is no excuse that 1
can see. It is of no serious conse
quence whether the girl was chaste
or not. The offense was committed.
It is seldom that the court, in passing
sentence, cannot look over the head
of the defendant and see some mother,
wife or girl who will suffer more than
lie will suffer."
Royston Elopes With Girl.
Royston was ordained a minister
nine years ago. Several years ago
he became acquainted with Frankie
Edwards, who is an orphan and lives
next door to the Koyston home. Evi
dence showed that the minister
started making love to the girl when
he was 15. Secret meetings were
held and the grandparent with whom
the girl lived made a complaint,
which caused Royston to move out
cf the neighborhood.
Royston did not see the girl again
until this year. On the night of June
29 he persuaded the girl to elope with
him. He informed her that a revela
tion from God had told him that she
belonged to him. They walked from
Salem to Osweg. and then to Port
land. Camping out along the way,
they hiked to Centralia, where they
were arrested.
Royston is accused by the federal
authorities with having attempted to
shift the blame from himself to the
girl.
He probably will be taken today or
tomorrow to McNeil island to start
his sentence.
APPLE PRIZES AWARDED
Judges Have Bifficnlty Reaching
Decision at Exposition.
MEDKORD, Or., Nov. 2. (Special.)
The Judging of the apples on ex
hibition at the Rogue River valley
apple exposition, which began here
last Saturday, was a difficult under
taking, so excellent and uniform was
the fruit. In many instances it was
next to impossible to decide with the
naked eye which of a number of
entries was entitled to first, second or
third prize.
In the three-box entries contest the
Judges had to remove all the apples
out of the six boxes entered by Upton
brothers of Central Point and the j
Bear creek orchard of Medford and
examine each apple with a microscope
for blemishes. The award finally was
given Upton brothers. The latter also
captured first awards in the one-box
entries of Jonathans, Newtowns and
C?pitxenbergs.
Other first awards were won as
follows: Delicious. Albert Johnson of
Ashland: Winter Banana, G. M. Frost

Odd-Jolis Week Announced.
SPOKANE. Wash.. Nov. 2. Next
week will be "odd jobs week" in Spo
kane. The committee on unemploy
ment has Issued an appeal to the
public to help relieve the distress of
men unable to -get work by having
their annual repair work done at
once. A central bureau will be opened
where telephone calls for worknaen
will be received.
A DISTINCTLY different type of
motion picture is "Bits of
Life," a Marshall Neilan
production, at the Liberty. Mr.
Neilan has departed from the usual
in filming this picture by presenting
four separate .stories, which are not
intended to have any relation to
each other. The stories are all
adapted for the screen from magazine
stories. Three of them were written
by Walter Trumbull, Hugh Wiley and
Thomas McMorrow and all appeared
in different magaxines. The fourth
la an original scenario by Mr. Neilan.
This idea is a new one for the
screen and the success of its accom
plishment interesting. It gives the
audience the effect of picking up a
magazine and reading for about an
hour and a half but without the
strain of reading, since the stories
may be more quickly told on the
screen.
Some may think that Mr. Neilan
might have found a happier selection
for his stories from the large fund
from which he could draw. His own
story, which is a comedy o? an en
tertaining sort, is the only humorous
cne in the lot.
The others, although they may be
"bits of life," reflect a philosophy
that is not altogether cheerful. The
tales, however, have real plots and
are of interest because they give op
portunity for some very good acting.
Many film favorites are in the cast,
for each story has its own actors-.
Among the stars, are Wesley Barry
as a child of the slums; Lon Chaney,
an opium dealer; Anna May Wong, a
fair Chinese bride; Noah Beery, a vilT,
lain; Harriett Hammond, a princess;
John Bowers, a young American;
Rockliffe Fellows, a gentleman crook;
Teddy Sampson, a half-caste, and
many others.
The stories used by the producer
for "Bits of Life" are Thomas Mo
Morrow's "The Bad Samaritan"; Wal
ter Trumbull's "The Man Who Heard
Everything"; "Hop." by Hugh Wiley,
and Mr. Nellan's "The Strange Adven
ture." Screen Gossip.

SHED FEARED.
City Council Asserts Proposed
Route Would Present Dan
gerous Fire Hazard.
A resolution opposing the proposed
construction of a road irom josi
Lake through Loio Pass, crossing th?
Bull Run Forest reserve into the
Sandy Canyon to connect with the
proposed Mount Hood loop road was
adopted by unanimous vote ot tne
city council yesterday. The resolu
tion was presented by City Commis
sioner Mann.
Construction of this road, according
to the resolution, would be detrimen
tal to the preservation of the water
shed furnishing water to Portland.
It is contended also that the proposed
roadway would Interfere with the
value of future additional water sup
nlv for Portland and would provide
a dangerous fire hazard that would
require a large amount or additional
guards at all times of the year.
The proposed roadway, on tne pres
ent Burwey, would pass within one
half mile of the most important area
of the Bull Bun reserve, according
to Commissioner Mann. The area
surrounds Bull Run lake where the
oity is now completing the develop
ment of its first storage unit amount
ing to some 10.000 acre feet.
Copies of the resolution will be
forwarded to members of the Oregon
congressional delegation and to the
forest service.

Renewal of Operations to Relieve
Coal Shortage and Eliminate
Need for Importation.
CHEHAL1S. Wash., Nov. 2. (Spe
cial.) Manager Plant of the superior
coal mine, which is operated on Na
tional avenue In this city, announced
today that the first coal mined under
the ner operations came from the
mine today. For the p'resent the
daily output will run about 25 tons,
but later this will be increased ma
terially, an if the demand for fuel
warrants the output will be increased
to 200 tonsior upward daily.
Owing to difficulties with sand
several months ago, operations on the
main ehaft ceased. The coal is now
taken out from a slope on the east
side of the hill opposite the coal
bunkers.
:A donkey engine, which Boon will
be' replaced; by an electric hoist,
drags the coal cars to the top of the
hill.
Because of the open winter weather
the market for coal has not been en
couraging for the operators. Re
newal of active coal mining in Che
halls will help to relieve further the
local coal shortage and put a stop to
the hauling into the city of a large
tonnage of coal from other local
mines outside Chehalis.
