CITY HULL IS BOYCOTTED
sN FRANCISCO HOUSEWIVES
RESENT ARBUCKIiE OKDF.K.
Action of Mayor Itolpli Barring
Discussion of Case Causes
Women to Retaliate.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 10. (Spe
cial.) The Housewives' league never
w ill meet In the San Francisco city
hall again.
So. at least. Bays Mrs. Robert Arm
strong Dean, delegate cf thq league
to the woman's vigilant committee,
in a statement commenting on the
action Friday of Mayor Rolph in
asking the clubwoman to refrain
from discussing the Arbuckle case
before the housewives in the city hall
assembly rooms.
The meeting, scheduled for 2
(.'clock Friday afternoon, was ad
journed with the understanding that
another meeting place will be sought
for discussions of affairs of public
concern.
In her lengthy statement. Mrs.
Dean touched on the vigilant com
mittee connection with the Arbuckle
rase by announcing that the women
never have taken a stand on the guilt
or innocence of the screen comedian.
Their action In commending Mrs.
Helen M. Hubbard, one of the two
members of the Jury who brought
about a disagreement by holding out
for conviction, related to the wom
an's determination to stick by her
conviction. Mrs. Dean said.
Mayor Rolph's action to prevent
the Arbuckle case being discussed in
a municipal building followed pro
tests based on the belief that the con
templated address was -intended as
propaganda against Arbuckle.
Oavln McXab, chief consul for Ar
buckle, declared, when asked to com
ment on the proposed address, that
It was "unheard of In the history of
San Francisco for propaganda to be
directed against a defendant pre
sumed to be innocent while await
ing trial."
While the storm center of the Ar
buckle case was shifting about the
Qlty hall, things were moving along
In the perjury charge of District At
torney Brady against Mrs. Minnie
Neighbors of Los Angeles, a defense
witness In the manslaughter trial.
A continuance until next Thursday
was won by the defense attorneys, in
order that they may carry out a
change of defense plans and bring
In witnesses from Los Angeles to sup
port Mrs. Neighbor's testimony that
she saw Virginia Rappe at Wheeler
hot springs last August.
It developed today that the prose
cution will call other witnesses in
rebuttal after the defense has sub
mitted Its case. Opposition to the
continuance was made by the state
through Assistant District Attorney
U'Ren.
Washington Oil company, and his
wife were placed under arrest by a
United States deputy marshal here
last night charged with using the
mails in connection with a scheme to
defraud. They were released on
$1500 cash bail. The arrests were
made as a result of an Investigation
by United States District Attorney
Jeffrey into the sale of oil stocks In
Spokane. Other arrests may follow,
it is said.
Samples of oil alleged' to have been
obtained on the property of the
Eastern Washington Oil company
were sent to the fed-eral bureau of
ni'ines at Washington. D. C for
analysis. According to press dis
patches received from Washington
this week the oil was declared to be
a "mixture" of animal or vegetable
fats and kerosene.
The information alleges that the
oil seepages first found under the
L'Ecuyer residence, 1029 Southwest
boulevard. Spokane, were not natural.

One of Questions to Be Discussed
Is Raising of Money to Meet
1920 Campaign Deficit.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU;
! Washington, D. C, Dec. 11. (Ralph E.
Williams, of Portland, Or., vice-chair-.
man of the republican latlonal com
i mittee. Is here to attend several con
ferences of the executive and finance
committees of the national eommlt
j tee. He was called here by National
j Chairman Adams.
One of the questions to be discussed
is the raising of money to meet the
deficit in the expenses of the 1920
campaign.
"There will not be the least diffi
culty in raising this money," said Mr.
Williams, "because the Harding ad
ministration, of which much.was ex
pected, has exceeded fondest expec
tations. The people of this country
are pleased with the course of Presi
dent Harding. They like fals dispo
sition to listen to the advice of others
before advising congress and the
country. ,
"But, getting back to Oregon poll
tics," said Mr. Williams, "1 would
like once again to make it clear that
I am taking no part In the appoint
ment of postmasters anywhere in the
state. The appointive power rests
solely in the hands of Oregon's two
senators and the three representa
tives, all of whom are republicans.
They are all competent to choose the
state's postmasters and I do not claim
even so much as the right as national
committeeman to Interfere In their
selections."
Mr. Williams was a guest at the
gridiron dinner last night. Mrs. Wll-
liams is with him. They will leave
Saturday with the intention of pass
ing Christmas in Portland.

The housewife of today is confronted with a
perplexing laundry problem. Cotton, linen,
wool, silk and the innumerable mixed fab
rics each requires special treatment.
Of the thousand soaps, powders, sodas, etc.,
on the market, no one formula meets all re
quirements. The question arises at once:
Which is the best soap to use? Will a soap
that will cleanse cotton and linen, be bland
enough for woolens and silks?
The corps of scientists maintained by the Laundryowners'
National Association have developed formulas which best
serve each particular fabric. For instance, soda should be
employed in washing cotton's and linens. There is a formula
for knitted underwear, one for colored materials and another
for silks and woolens.
Preciseness marks all the details of modern laundering.
Nothing is left to chance each article receives the special
treatment which will prolong its life and beauty.
Profit by this expert knowledge of the modern methods of
laundering by sending the family bundle to the laundry.
