DISPUTEO STATUE
Masculine Figure to Appear
as "Civic Virtue."
ORDER DECLARED ISSUED
I'ark Commissioner Gallatin Says
That "Rough Guy" Will Take
Stand In Park Soon.
NEW YORK, April 6. The "rough
guy" is going- to take his stand in
City Hall park next week.
This was the announcement today
by Park Commissioner Gallatin, re
garding the masculine statue of "Civie
Virtue," chiseled by Sculptor Mac
Monnies, which has been the cause
of two public hearings in city hall
and countless editorials.
The fate of "rough guy," who has
incurred Mayor Hyian's special en
mity, was left hanging after the sec
ond hearing yesterday, but the park
commissioner announced today that
the contractors had received permis
sion to go ahead.
"It is true," ruled the commissioner,
"that it is customary to represent
virtue as a woman. Witness the
figures on our coins, the statue of
liberty, the muses, the graces and
the innumerable other specimens
known to art.
"But in this age of equality, it is
no "more than right that man should
be given some consideration. The
women should not begrudge this van
ity to man."

JjATGE NUMBER OF HOMES TO
BE BUILT, IT IS SAID. ,
Visits to Exposition Reported to
Have Caused Many Persons to
Decide on Construction.
Jimmy Mayo, bashful but deter
mined, walked into the booth of Harry
Beckwith at the auditorium yester
day. ,
"How much does one of those bun
galows with a big front porch cost?"
he asked.
"I brought Mary she's my best
girl down here last night and after
, we had looked all around at the fur
niture and houses we decided we
would have to have a home," he ex
plained. The Home Beautiful exposition had
done its work.
Many other Portlanders will have
homes or wili beautify the Interior
of the homes they already have as a
result of a visit to the expositoin, ac
cording to the opinion expressed by
John H. Mariels, chairman of the ex
position commtitee. Mr. Mariels an
nounced that a canvass made among
builders and real estate men with
booths at the exposition indicated that
a large number of homes would be
erected or purchased in the city as a
result of visits made to the exposi
tion. Every evening during the week
crowds have jammed the place and
the interest in the homes and home
furnishings has been great.
A feature today will be music by
the "melody four" quartet. This
quartet will sing at half-hour inter
vals during the evening at various
places in the auditorium.
FIVE ASK FOR DIVORCES
WIFE WORKS IX NEGRO CAFE,
SAYS GUST KAHROS.
Rose Black Complains That Hus
band Spends Time Trying to
Get V. S. War Compensation,
When his wife started to work
March 10, 1922, in a cafe where

was going too far, complained Gust
Kataros in . suit for divorce from

adopted cigarette smoking and has
been playing the lotteries, said her

making a white woman stay with a
Greek."
Rose Black complained in a divorce

whom she married in Vancouver,
Wash., in 1919, "became imbued with
the idea that because of his service
In the world war the government of
the United States owed him a living,"
and that he spent all of his time
pretending he was sick and endeavor
ing to have physicians certify that
lie Is entitled to receive government
allotments on account of alleged in
capacitations. Other divorce suits filed yesterday

PHONE RETURN PUT LOW
COMPANY FIGURES NET EARN
INGS 2.21 PER CENT.
Service Commission Declares Fig
ures Inaccurate and That 3.83
Per Cent Is True Profit;
SALEM, Or., April 6. (Special.)
The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
company's rate of return in Oregon
for the year 1921, as shown by the
report of the corporation filed, here
today, was 2.21 per cent, while the
same figures interpreted by the com
mission indicated that the rate of re
turn was 3.83 per cent.
The telephone company, in arriving
at its r?te of return for the year,
deducted from the gross revenues
4 per cent thereof in accordance
with an agreement existing between
the Oregon corporation and the Amer
ican Telephone & Telegrapih company.
This is presumed to cover the use of
the latter company's patented instru
ments, and also in payment for vari
ous services rendered by it.
The public service commission, in
orders issued during recent years,
refused to concede that this method
of payment was justified and in lieu
thereof ordered that an allowance of
55 cents per average station be paid
the American Telephone & Telegraph
company for services rendered, and
the value of the transmitters, re
ceivers and induction coils belonging
to the-parent? concern be included in
the rate base of the Pacific Telephone
& Telegraph company.
Under the commission's method, the
income account was restated in ac
cordance with its former orders, with
the result that the rate of return was
3.83 per cent, which the commission
contends more accurately represents
the net result of the company's op
erations in Oregon for the year 1921.
The operating revenues for the
year 1921 increased 5871,541.07 over
the year 1920, while operating ex
penses increased $505,553.88 during
the same period, leaving a net In
crease In net operating revenue of
$365,960.19. Taxes increased in the
year 1921 approximately $76,000 when
compared with the year 1920.

A. W.
STATE SENATOR URGED TO
RUN FOR SEAT IN CONGRESS.
Astoria Chamber of Commerce As
serts Young and Energetic Man
Needed to Get Results.
ASTORIA, Or., April 6. (Special.)
The board of directors of the Astoria
chamber of commerce this afternoon
adopted a resolution urging A. W.
Norblad, state senator of this city, to
enter 'the race to obtain the repub
lican nomination for representative
In congress from the first congres
sional district of Oregon. The reso
lution recited that the lower Colum
bia river section and western Ore
gon have not proper representation
in congress; that their needs are not
being presented to the national con
gress as they should be, and that what
the district sorely needs is a young
and energetic representative, who can
be depended upon to get results. The
board also asked other commercial
and civic bodies in the district to in
dorse its requests.
"I deeply appreciate the honor
which the people of my home city
and of tie district seek to confer on
me," said Senator Norblad. "And
their request to become a candidate
for congress will receive my earnest
consideration. During the past few
days I have received numerous letters
and telegrams from various parts of
the district, urging me to enter the
race against Representative Hawley.
I am awaiting word from the remain
ing sections of the district and will
announce my decision within the next
few days.
"I realize the importance of the of
fice and the opportunities it offers
to accomplish something for the peo
ple of my home state. There are
many matters in which this district
must have assistance from the na
tional government and prominent
among them are the continuation of
the improvement of the river to care
for ocean commerce and the building
of the Roosevelt highway."
It is understood that should State
Senator Norblad decide to become a
candidate, Mrs. W. S. Kinney, who is
serving her first term as legislative
representative from this county, will
become a candidate for the state
senate.
