STUDENT DRILL TARGET
Vnlversity of Oregon Newspaper
Opposes Military Training.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Jan. 12. (Special.) The reserve of
ficers' training corps, n which all
the underclassmen of the university
must drill, is receiving severe and
acrimonious criticism through the
Dally Emerald.
E. J. H, known as the "Campus
Cynic," scathingly criticised the drill
unit, then another article ridiculing
the pseudo soldiers appeared this
morning, accompanied by an edi
torial denouncing drill at the univer
sity. The arguments used against
compulsory drill are that it is a rello
of the war days, that the present sys
tem is Inefficient and does not ac
complish any good purpose, that a
cultural Institution should not tol
erate such Instruction. Editorially,
the Emerald has taken a firm stand
against the whole system In vogue
here, and many upperclassmen are
opposing its continuance.

A RADICAL departure from the
ord'inary motion picture is "Tho
Cabinet of Dr. Callgarl," which
cpens at the Star theater tomorrow.
This is the picture, which played to
crowds at the Capitol theater in New
Yok, and has occasioned widespread
comment wherever It haa been shown.
It Is unlike any picture ever made.
"The scenario is the sort of thing
that Edgar Allen Poe might write for
the movies were he alive today,"
wrote a New York critic. "Dr. Call
garl with his sinister powers is a
real Poe creation. His story is ab
sorbing, and the strange stage set
tings amaze the onlooker, pique his
curiosity and in eome cases send him
away mystified. The story Is coher
ent, logical, a genuine and legitimate
thriller."
This photoplay Introduces the first
application of modern art to tho
screen. The scenic artists have used
an impressionistic as well as a nat
uralistic form of expression in fact,
they call themselves "expressionists."
The treatment of the background is
bizarre and the "expresslonistic" de
sign of the settings suggests a gro
tesqueness and distortion which is a
reflection of the characters of the
story and their mental state. The
queer crooked houses and the winding
street scenes suggest lurking danger
and the Increasing dread of the char
acters as the story progresses.
The story deals with a certain Dr
Callgarl, who obtains complete con
trol over a somnambulist and utilizes
him to murder various persons. This
is based on an old myth which was
very popular In the middle ages and
which told of a magician who. having
bent a sleep walker to his will, util
ized him against his enemies.
The picture Is described as extraor

RIFT OCCUKS IN MYSTERIOUS
DISAPPEARANCE OF WOMAX.
Northwest Befhg Combed to Find
John Rutherford, Suspected
of Slaying Ills Wife.
TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 12. The
charred bones found In a stove of the
John Rutherford home were sent by
the police today to the University of
Washington for positive Identifica
tion as human bones. At the same
time the police asked officers all over
the northwest to aid In arresting
Rutherford, who vanished here two
days after his wife disappeared in
October.
Incriminating evidence continued to
pile up In the baffling case. It was
revealed at the children s nome,
where Rutherford placed his adopted
daughter after his wife vanished, that
he said his wife had been placed In
an insane asylum. Investigation
showed' Mrs. Rutherford is not in
either of the state hospitals in west
ern Washington.
No trace of Rutherford has been
found since he wrote a letter to his
wife from Everett, Wash., October 15.
This letter was Bent in care of a local
official, who today branded it as a
ruse.
Neighbors related to the police
stories of . queer occurrences in the
Rutherford home after the wife dis
appeared. One recited that someone
was working with a pick in the base
ment of the home and Investigation
by the police Indicated that some
stones of the basement wall had been
removed, replaced and cemented over.
Men will be put at work digging in
the basement.
The adopted daughter of the
Rutherfords, who since has been
taken into another Tacoma home,
said today Rutherford explained the
absence of his wife by saying she had
gone on a "long Journey."
