KINDLY NATURE EXHIBITED
Papa' Is Touched by Cheers Given
by School Children Who Line
Route Through City.
Joseph Jacques Cesaire Joffre, Mar
echal de France, won all hearts in
Portland- yesterday. As he triumphed
at the Marne and on many far-flung
battlefields, he also gained victories
here, but these were conquests of
smiling: peace.
From the thousands of school chil
dren who cheered him from the curbs
as he passed through the streets, to
the governor, the mayor and the most
prominent citizens, who welcomed
him officially, there was a tremen
dous affection shown for "Papa"
'Joffre.
Greeted at the train in the morning,
escorted in parade through the city
and to the Pacific highway dedication
at the interstate bridge, and then on a
trip over the Columbia river highway,
the grizzled warrior met everywhere
with cheers and continuous atten
tions. Visit Made to Veterans.
But the incident that endeared him
most to Portland folk was1 an un
ostentatious act of kindness not on
the schedule at all. He it was who
insisted that a stop be made on the
way back from the. highway trip at
United States Veterans' hospital No.
77, where he greeted personally many
of the 100 "blesses" recuperating
there. He felt he could not pass these
comrades of his without a word of
cheer. -
The action revealed the simplicity
and kindliness of the man, and
showed why he is hailed by an entire
nation as "Papa." His is the greatest
talent of all, deep human sympathy,
and it shone from his eyes as he
asked, through an interpreter, in the
most solicitous way, the cause of ill
ness of individual soldiers in various
wards. He saluted these wounded
men and in his eye was the light that
softened the calamity that had fallen
upon those he visited and comforted.
It was another illustration of the say
ing that the bravest are the tenderest.
.Marshal Is Thick-Set.
Joffre, short, thick-set, with very
wide shoulders and a head in pro
portion to his substantial body, is the
successor of Napoleon, Turenne, Soule,
Ney and a score of others who have
borne the baton of a marshal of
France. If he seems to lack the dash
that has added to the brilliant ap
pearance of these others, he makes
up for it by great human qualities
and by giving an impression of what
that other great French leader, Mar
shal Foch, has described as "sure'te."
The great soldier who came to
Portland yesterday on a mission of
peace wore the undress uniform of his
rank. On his head was the red,
black-peaked kepi of a general, with
its rings and oak leaves of bright
gold. His dark tunic .was covered by
the folds of his military coat. No ;
, sword janglad at his side to. give a
jarring note to the picture of peace
ful security of the times.
Tuo-Hoar ReMt Taken.
The French, war leader returned
from his highway trip, that ended
with a short stop at the war hospital,
soon after 4 o'clock. From then untU
6:45 be rested in his apartments at j
the Multnomah hotel, the same suite
that Marshal Foch used when a Port- I
land visitor recently and which is re
served for notables.
Dinner was served at that hour,
with members of the reception com
mittee attending. At 8 o'clock Mar
shal Joffre arrived at the armory and
met his comrades of the world war,
together with veterans of other wars
and the general public.
Throughout the day all arrange- j
ments were carried out with military
precision. The trip up the highway I
was without a single untoward inci-
dent. Happily, weather conditions ;
were auspicious and the scenery was j
rarely, if ever, more impressive. i
National Colors Entivined.
Vista House was decorated with the
combined colors of France and Amer
ica, as was Crown Point chalet, where
luncheon was taken, and at Multno
mah falls, too, bunting was displayed.
At the latter point the trip ended,
after Marshal Joffre had left his car
and walked up the hill to get a closer
view of the waterfall. ,
The scenery impressed him im
mensely. He speaks no English, but
through Major U. S. Grant, HI, repre
sentative of the government who ac
companies him as Interpreter, he
spoke high praise of the highway
and its scenic charms.
He declared the highway a splen
did engineering work, and he said he
was entitled to speak of it because
in ,189 4. when a major, he served in
the Soudan and in an engagement

Chicago Association, to Keep Prima
Donna, It Is Said, Must
Match This Proposal.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. April 4
Mary Garden, director and prima
donna of the Chicago Grand Opera
company, which is appearing here,
has received from Charles L. Wagner,
her former manager, an offer of
$250,000 for a season's concert tour,
and if the opera company would keep
her it must meet the figure, accord
ing to a statement accredited to Miss
Garden's secretary by the Chronicle
today.
The diva's secretary, according to
the newspaper, stated for Mips Gar
den that she "had no plans for her
operatic future." It was reported that
she wquld await the outcome , of
a conference with the directors of the
Chicago Opera, association, to be held
after April 23, when' the company's
tour will end.
"In her present frame of mind,"
added the purported statement, "Miss
Garden is willing to continue with
the Chicago Opera company as a star
and without the authority of director
general. In such a contingency, Miss
Garden would expect the Chicago
Opera association to meet the con
tract which has been offered to her
by Mr. Wagner. The Wagner contract
calls for a concert tour of the United
States and for a salary of $250,000..
Miss Garden would rather continue
in grand opera, but is willing to listen
to Wagner if her contract for grand
opera does not look sufficiently at
tractive. In any event, Miss Garden
will sail for Monte Carlo next June
and will be gone until September.
Upon her return to America she will
announce her plans definitely."
Miss Garden has been ill since her
arrival here, but is reported practic
ally recovered and is expected to sing
later in the week.

EVIDENCE IS PROMISED
Plaintiffs Attorneys Declare Let
ter Will Be Introduced in
Case at Olympia. f
TACOMA, Wash., April 4. (Special.)
When the trial of the case of Mrs.
Maude E. Stewart of Kelso against
the Prudential and Mutual Insurance
companies for $45,000 opened in fed
eral court here -this morning1 attor
neys for Mrs. Stewart sprang a sur
prise. They announced they would
introduce in evidence a letter from
Fred E. Stewart to his wife telling of
his plans to commit suicide.
Mrs. Stewart in her suit claims that
her husband, who was last seen on a
ferry boat crossing the Columbia
river from Goble, Or,, to Kalama, is
dead, while the insurance companies
are withholding payment of his in
surance policies on the ground that
he may still be alive.
What was said to have been the
last message sent by Stewart to his
wife was related by Frank P. Sardam
to Judge Cushman. Sardam's state
ment came after testimony had been
given by Carl Hays, who drove Stew
art's car to a Portland garage March
16, 1921, one day prior to Stewart's
disappearance. Sardam is a Portland
insurance man.
Actions During: Day Traced.
In taking up the actions of
Stewart on the day prior to his dis
appearance, Sardam told of his long
acquaintance with the Stewart family.
He said that he was agent in Oregon
for the Northern Life Insurance com
pany and that at' one time Stewart
had been the company's Kelso agent.
In speaking of -his last conversation
with Stewart, Sardam said the missing
bank cashier had gone to Portland
with ex-State Bank Examiner Hay of
Washington for the purpose of ob
taining financial aid for the bank.
"About 9 o'clock, as near as I can
recall," Mr. Sardam testified, "the
telephone rang. I answered and it
was Fred. He said he was calling
from Goble and would be home in
about 40 minutes. He inquired about

New Yorkers Hold Public Meeting
on Bill to Permit Building
of Arts Structure.
NEW YORK, April 4. A suggestion
that pianos be placed in burglars'
homes to check the crime wave was
made by Mayor Hylan today at a
public hearing on a legislative bill
which would permit the city to erect
a building dedicated to advancement
of the arts to serve as a peace
memorial.
Everyone present favored the pro
posal, and after Otto H. Kalin, chair
man of the Metropolitan Opera com
pany, had asserted the mayor had
done more to bring music to the peo
ple than all his predecessors put to
gether, Mr. Hylan announced he
would sign the bill.
Discussion of the crime wave crept
into the hearing, when Mr. Kahn said
he believed the cause of many crimes
was a desire to get away from the
dullness of every-day life.
"Do you blieve," the mayor in
quired, "that music might deter peo
ple from committing crime?"
Mr. Kahn thought it would surely
help.
"Of course, I'm In favor of keeping
down crime," said the mayor. "One
of the newspapers wants us to put a
cop in everybody's house."
"I would rather put in a piano,"
Mr. Kahn said. "Wealth is only a
matter of dollars and cents. But the
man who can hear good music'is bet
ter off than the man and woman who
sit chattering in a box in the Metro
politan opera house."
A report by City Chamberlain Be
rolzheimer asserted that If such a
structure were erected it should be
an architectural triumph.
'The building," read the report,
"should contain auditoriums for the
production of opera, two separate
auditoriums, if necessary; another for
concerts; another large auditorium
for the production of the classic
drama and comedy, and small audi
toriums for chamber music and the
intimate theater with practice rooms
for both vocal and instrumental
music.
GERMANY DRINKING MORE

BERLIN. April 4.. (Special by
Wireless.) The consumption of cham
pagne in Germany is greater today
than ever it has been. The German
grapegrowers have just compiled sta
tistics for 1921 which show that near
ly 16-,000,OOO bottles of champagne
were produced that year. This is
3,000,000 bottles more than in 113 and
means an increased consumption of
22 per cent.

Jean Day Held for Death of
Lieutenant-Colonel Beck. .
INTENT TO SHOOT DENIED
Husband Declares Revolver Went
Off Accidentally in Fight
With Army Guest.
OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla.. April 4
A midnight party in the fashionable
home here of Jea,n P. Day, prominent
attorney and oil man of Oklahoma,
ended early today in the death of
Lieutenant-Colonel Paul Word Beck,
assistant commandant of Post Field
at Fort Sill, Okla., and widely known
in army circles.
Beck, one of the pioneer flyers of
the American army, was killed by
Day, who declared he struck the army
officer over the head with a revolver,
when he returned home and found his
guest struggling with Mrs. Day. The
gun was accidentally discharged. Day
asserted. Beck's skull was so badly
shattered that officials were unable
to determine whether the bullet or
the blow caused death.
Day is under $5000 bond to appear
at a coroner's inquest Saturday after
noon. A committee of officers from Post
Field will conduct an inquiry into the
affair, It was announced late today by
Forest Hughes, county attorney, fol

City Friday or Saturday.
The county attorney said he would
not consider filing charges until aft&t
the coroner's inquest.
The shooting came after a 'party at
the Day home at which Lieutenant
Colonel Beck was the guest of honor.
Beck flew here yesterday from Fort
Sill. Day had taken the other guests
home In his motor car and when he
returned, about 2:30 in the morning,
he declared in a statement to news
paper men, he looked through a win
dow and saw his wife and Beck
seated on a divan.
"Colonel Beck reached for her,-
Day declared. "There was a strug
gle." Thereupon, Day said, he rushed Into
his home and to an upstairs room,
where he got his revolver.
"Returning to the dining room," ht
lated, "I commanded: 'You get out
related, I commanded: "lou get
of here.' The army officer drew back
his hand as if to strike," Day said,
"and I hit him over the head; the
gun went off. I never dreamed of Its
discharging."
Officer House Guest.
Day said Lieutenant-Colonel Beck
I had spent the evening with him and
Mrs. Day. They dined at a hotel. Day
said he had invited Beck to stay at
his home last night.
Earlier in the nie-ht Beck and Mrs.i
I Day attended a theater alone, accord
ing to other guests at the party.
Beck had long been a friend of the
Day family. He was 45 years old.
I Day Is 50 and his wife several years
younger. They have a daughter who
I i3 a student at the state university.
Mrs. Day was unable to make any
I connected statement during the day
though she corroborated the etory tola
by her husband.
Mrs. Day is a leading society wo
man of Oklahoma City. She spent last
I winter in Washington. D. C. and en-
Itertained at many social functions.
Lieutenant-Colonel Beck lived at
Fort Sill with his mother, 77 years
old. His wife died last year In At
lantic City. He is survived by a son,
who is a first-lieutenant in the army
ordnance department, stationed at
Watertown, Mass.
Faithful Wife Protected.
In an interview tonight Day am
plified his statement of today and re
counted the details of the tragedy.
."Could any red-blooded American
do anything else when his confidence
Is violated, his home Invaded and his
I faithful wife Insulted i and violently
(attacked?" he demanded.
Clad in house coat and slippers,
with a burned-out cigar between his
lingers. Judge Day sat on the front
porch of Ms home and calmly related
the details.
"So help me God, I never meant to
kill Beck," Judge Day declared ve
hemently. 'l loved Beck like a
brother. He had my complete confi
dence. He had the run of my home.
He was at liberty to come In unan-
nounced for dinner or as an over
sight guest. He had entertained us
often at Post field. No man could
have trusted a brother more. He
came up last night unannounced. He
was sitting on the porch when I
drove up at 5:30 P. M. said he was
coming to stay all night."
Trio Dines at Hotel.
Judge Day said he and Beck and
Mrs. Day dined at a hotel. Mrs. Day

The spectacular gun battle. In
which nearly 20 shots were ex
changed, was staged within half a
block of the police station and at
