. Havings bank of Kan Francisco, to
VJiis account in each bank. Yesterday,
the police eaid, he fiuccessYully with
drew both check and cash deposits
. tf'Om the First National bank and the
Z, Hank of California, but when he
showed up at the Iadd & Tilton bank
".Johnson was waiting for him. The
" Vnlon Savings bank of San Francisco
' bad telegraphed that Parsley was a
Ibad check artist and they wanted
ibira picked up.
Two Klrla Alto Held.
Bums detectives and Inspector
. Pwennes took Parsley in charge
.They learned the whereabouts of his
jiartner. Wolff, and their two women
.companions, Marjorle Clilpman and
.Audrey Stewart. The three were ar
rested in a downtown hotel and the
"tirls were held for the health de
... jiartment.
k J'arsley and Wolff were said to have
. rono from city to city, to have stopped
t tho best hotels and to have lived
9ife freely as they played the same
' Jittle bank game in each city. They
4 ttro native North Carolinans, but
ptarted their career at Houston, Tex.

frilked of $150 each and three in Oak-
land, two for 1200 each and a third
tor 1180.
Blank Cheeks Obtained.
Their method of operation, accord
ing to the police, was to obtain blank
checks In 'each city on other banks
than the ones in which they made
' deposits. In the next city they used
; these checks while obtaining a new
supply of blanks. They fell In Tort
land, they said, because they found
y Oakland banks such easy prey thert
;-"were no blank checks available' on
. banks they had not swindled, so they
"were forced to use checks of the
" . Union Savings bank of San Fran
1 Cisco while in Portland. As they had
' won in the game played with the San
" Francisco bank, when L.add & Tllton
-. telegraphed it, the bank officials
asked for Parsley's arrest,
s. .Parsley was said to be eager to
', Plead guilty when arraigned before
Judge Kossman this morning, rather
than go south to face numerous
charges against him there. In all
" probability, Wolff will be sent to
" California, as he was not actually
implicated In the games here. He
m, was said to have played Parsley'i
; game in San Francisco and was tak---
ing a vacation while in Portland.
' KINGS WOHTII I000 TAKEN
FROM WOMAN'S FINGEU.
Son of Mrs. Max Levin, Whose
Ilusbund Was Killed in Crash,
Keports Gems Missing.
Three diamond rings, valued at
about $1000, are missing from the
fingers of Mrs. Max Levin, 655 Kast
Yamhill street, as an aftermath of an
automobile accident near Rainier
Wednesday afternoon. In which Mr.
Levin was killed, according to Sam
Levin, 411 Broadway, . a son. No
formal report was made to the police.
jAfter the wreck a number of per
sons gathered about the automobile
and assisted in extricating the vic
tims from the wreckage. It was
thought that one of the "Good Samari
tans" removed the rings from Mrs
Levin's fingers, as they fit too snug
ly to slip offof themselves. The
rings were missed before Mrs. Levin
was placed In the ambulance for the
trip to Portland and the Good Samari
tan hospital. A motorcycle police
man of Columbia county was asked to
make a search. He examined th
ground about the automobile thor
oughly, but failed to find them.
Nurses at the Good Samaritan hos
pital said that Mrs. Levin was con
scious when she reached the hos
pital, although she had suffered such
shock that in all probability she
would not have known when the rings
were taken from her fingers.
YOUTH TWICE ARRESTED
Hubert S. Anderson Charged With
Fussing Bogus Checks.
Robert S. Anderson. 21, son of Rob
Vt S. Anderson of Boise, Idaho, was
rearrested on a charge of obtaining

noon yesterday, waiting for a com
plaint to be signed by some one of
the eight Portland business men said
to have cashed his check. None ap
peared. After his release William K.
Wlnslow of the Fashion garage re
ported that he had cashed one of An
derson's checks and asked for his ar
rest, saying he would sign a com
plaint today.
DAMAGE CASE IS ENDED
Itnbber Company Says Driver of
Death Car ex-Employe.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 12.-(Speclal.)
Taking of evidence In the case
brought by Malcolm Ramp, prominent
I Brooks rancher, to recover damages
in the amount of approximately 10.-
000 from E. G. Osborne and the Ore-
j gon Rubber company of Portland
' and Homer Ross. garae owner of
McMlnnville. was concluded in m
Marlon county circuit court here
today.

Kamp. Rudolph Samuelson. who was
riding with Osborne, was killed,
while Mrs. LeRoy Westley of St.
Johns, who occupied a seat in the

which' resulted in her death three
weeks later.
Attorneys for Mr. Ramp have
attempted to prove that Mr. Osborne
was employed by the Oregon Rubber
company at the time of the accident,
and that the death car was owned
by Mr. Ross. The Oregon Rubber
company submitted testimony to
show that Mr. URDorne wan ai
charged by that corporation prior to
the date of the accident. Mr. Ross
alleged that he had sold the machine
to Mr. Osborne by agreement entered
Into on the day of the accident.

.Ministers Invited to Speak Are
Victims or Ire of Woman Who
Itocnts Invasion.
- The Public School Protective
league took no action upon the ques
tion of dancing in public school build
ings at its regular meeting in the
central library last night, although
the programme was devoted entirely
to a discussion of this subject. No
resolution on the question was pre
sented by any one of the 28 members
of the league present, in spite of the
general impression that auch a reso
lution would be considered.
At the conclusion of speeches by
fj. I). Mahone. prominent member of
the Methodist Episcopal Laymen's
association, and Rev. Guy Fitch
Phelps, pastor of Sellwood Methodist
church, the meeting was thrown into
confusion when a woman in the audi
ence said nhe was not in favor of ex
tending the usual vote of thanks to
the speakers.
"I should like to know how it hap
pens that a minister appears before
the members of this league," she
said. "The ministers have fought us
ever since we were first organized,
and it does not seem consistent that
we should ask a minister to speak
to us. 1 am not willing to extend a
vote of thanks to these speakers."
Rev. Mr. Phelps, who was the only
speaker present at the time, replied
that he had just read the principles
of the league and that he was thor
oughly in sympathy with its pur
poses. Both speakers had been asked
to .appear at the meeting by Dr. J. E.
Longdon, president of the league.
The league is said to have a mem
bership of about 1200, but at this ses
sion the possibility of disbanding the
organization was presented. There
was no discus-slon and no suggestions
either for continuing or discontinu-
ng the league, so the question was
dropped.

County Surveyor Coates and Road

ployment to men with families who
need work. The Maxwell place re
cently changed hands and Rosenberg
Bros, are contemplating expending
large sums of money in improvements
this year if the county court will

308 IS AWARDED
ALBANY INVEN1
Thomas B. Slate Wins Pay for
Use of Patent in War.
AIRPLANE FAN IS SUCCESS
Court Orders Compensation for
Contracts Let by Government;
Legal Battle Lasts 3 Years.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, D. C, Jan. 12. The chan
cery court of New Jersey sitting at
Newark will enter a final decree
within a few days awarding to the
American Mechanical Improvement
company, of Washington, D. C, tht
sum of $36,308.79 under a contract
licensing the use of a patent awarded
to Thomas B. Slate of Albany, Or.,
covering an improvement in self
regulating air fans or propellers. This
decree comes as the culmination of a
legal battle waged for about three
years befora the chancery of New
Jersey to establish the rights of this
Oregon inventor in what has turned
out to be one of the mo&t valuable
patents in the development of aero
nautical devices used in the world
war.
The Inventor comes of a family of
mechanics, who - for several years
have conducted a machine shop in
Albany, Or. Thomas B. Slate, who is
now supposed to be In Oregon, also
obtained a number of valuable patents
covering internal combustion engines
and motor appliances, to say nothing
of aeronautical improvements. The
patent which led to the legal con
troversy in the courts of New Jersey
covered a device which the radio de
velopment section of the war depart
ment found to be essential to the per.
fection of the apparatus for. radio
communication between airplanes in
motion in the air and on the ground.
Air Fan Generates Current.
This device, which Is a self-regulating
air fan, was used to generate the
current for the radio communication.
It was found to be "the only success
ful self-regulating air fan," to quote
the testimony of Captain Gray, who
was called as a witness for the in
ventor, because it was so constructed
that its speed could be controlled and
held within a certain number of revo
lutions per minute through a gov
ernor control which regulated the
pitch of the propeller blades.
The army officers discovered the
patent in the United Starts patent
office, and through Senator Cham
berlain communicated with Jerry A.
Mathews, who is Mr. Slate's patent
attorney, to learn Mr. Slate's address.
Thereupon, the inventor was Invited
to go to the United States bureau of
standards and build his models and,'
when he ha finally perfected one,
the war department' adopted it and
stamped It aa a war department model,
and invited Mr. Slate to. organize a
company for the manufacture of the
device. Mr. Mathews, acting as gen
eral counsel for the holding company
to which Mr. Slate had assigned his
patents, and of which Mr. Slate is
president, drew up a licensing con
tract and the Des Lauriers Aircraft
corporation of Newark, N. J., started
to manufacture for the government,
and actually constructed and; delivered
$180,000 worth of the devices.
4O0O Devices Ordered.
The contract provided that Mr.
Slate should have his salary as super
intendent of production and should
receive a certain percentage in royal
ties, as well as a share of the net
profits. The . patent turned out to
be so Important in -the development
of aerial warfare that, after the gov
ernment had placed an order for 4000
of the devices, it indicated it might
need 50,000.
At this point the Newark company,
which had taken a license from Mr.
Slate, proceeded to exclude him from
the plant and manufacture under his
patent, and declined to give him any
compensation. Meanwhile, the gov
ernment, failing to get prompt pro
duction from the plant at Newark,
took Mr. Slate's model and awarded
a contract for 20,000 of the devices
to the American Propeller company of
Baltimore. ,
Failing to perfect "n agreement,
with the New Jersey corporation, Mr.
Slate's attorney as general .counsel
for the company, filed a bill in the
chancery court of New Jersey. The
validity of the patent and contract
was attacked. The court upheld the
validity of both and has just made
the handsome award, which will be a
source of satisfaction to Mr. Slate's
Oregon fi lends.

SCIENCE TRUSTEES REPLY
m
SPENDING OF VNREAOXABLE
SUMS HELD FALSE.
Extra Payments Made Employes
Held Necessary to Hold Or-
ganization Together.
BOSTON, Jan. 12. Denial that the
trustees of the Christian Science Pub
lishlng society had made improper
payments to various) persons or had
spent unreasonable sums of money
was made by John R. Watts. .business
manager of the society, at a hearing
before Judge Cros'by of the supreme
court today on the question of-al
lowance of the accounts of the tnis
tees. He defended payments made
to employes In addition to their regu
lar salaries as necessary to hold the
organization together after the su
preme court decision which upheld
the right of the directors of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, to remove
the trustees.
Up to tonight Judge Crosby had not
entered the expected interlocutory de
cree accepting the resignations of
Trustees Herbert W. Eustace and Taul
Harvey.
Mr. Watts, the only witness heard
today, was- still on the stand whn
the hearing was adjourned until next
Monday morning. At the' opening of
the hearing, the directors presented
their answer to the trustees' petition
for approval of their accounts. They
charged that the trustees had used
more than $25,000 of trust funds for
extra compensation to employes, had
"waatefully employed" & firm of ac
countants at a cost of more than $40,
000 and had. spent unreasonable sums
of money on a branch office in San
Francisco. They reserved the right
to make further charges..
Under cross-examination Mr. Watts
gave the following profits and losse:
of the society: Six months ending Sep
tember 30, 1920, profits $21,404; .six
months ending March 31, 1921, loss
$!)0,993; six months ending Septem
her 30, 1921. Iom $67,311; month of
October. 1921. loss $26,920; month of
November. 1921. loss $36,187.
FINES TREBLED IN YEAR
Enforcement of Prohibition Law in
Claikama Profitable.
OREGON CITY, Or., Jan. 12.
(Special.) Fines collected in the nine
justice courts in Clackamas county
during 1921 nearly trebled those for
1920. according to the reports com
piled by Alberta L. Dunn, county
treasurer. During the last year, the
total fines amounted to $12,072.10.
while in 1920 they aggregated but
$4323.05.
The main reason for this is the ac
tive enforcement of the Volstead act,
which has resulted in heavy fines.
The chief gain in the individual jus
tice courts is at Oregon City, district
4, E. J. Noble, judge, which practical
ly doubled the estimated made for
fine receipts, totaling in' 1921 $8932.10.
