in the 880 and mile runs will take
place on Multnomah field Friday aft
ernoon, starting at 2:15 o'clock, one
hour earlier than the start of the pre
liminaries Thursday afternoon.
Between 150 and 225 high school
athletes will toe the mark in the two
days of running, jumping, hurdling
and heaving. With some exceptionally
good men out for the events, it' would
not be surprising if high school rec
ords were broken.
For the first time in seven yearB
Jefferson high school's supremacy In
the interscholastic meet is threat
ened. For six years the Democrats
hae ran away with the annual meet,
most of the time without even a
struggle.
However, this year all indications
point to Vare Windnagle's Washing
ton high school squad having the
edge on the other schools.. Washing
ton seems to have between four and
five first places clinched right from
the go, and if the team can edge in
enough runners-up, it will win. t
THYE TO TACKLE BARNES
MIDDLEWEIGHT WRESTLING
MATCH IS THURSDAY.
Nebraska "Whirlwind"' Presents
New Problem for Local Mat
Man With Leg Work.
Now comes "Whirlwind" Barnes,
well known middleweight grappler of
Lincoln, Neb., to Invade the quiet and
passive wrestling colony of Portland.
Ted Thye will endeavor Thursday
night at the Lyric theater to show
local wrestling followers just how to
handle a "Whirlwind." With his bar
rage of wrist-locks, toe-holds,, head
scissors and other bone crushing de
vices, he figures on turning this so-
called "Whirlwind" into . a mild
Ibreeze.
Whether the Multnomah club in
structor can turn the trick will not
be known until after the match
Thursday. If past performance is any
criterion, Barnes is just the boy to
upset the dope. His weight is the
same as Thye's and he is a fastei
worker. As to science, Barnes pre
sents a new theory. He says legs
are the most important part of wres
tling.. He uses various locks and tie
Tips with nis legs until ne gets an op
ponent in a dangerous position, then
has the strength to apply the finish
ing touches.
Thye has conquered all invaders so
far, regardless of style. He has yet
to meet a man who is an expert with
his legs. It may take just such a type
to defeat the local grappler.
Promoter Routledge is in search of
a new referee as Carl Freilinger, whp
has satisfactorily handled all previous
matches, will leave Portland Thurs
day morning on a honeymoon trip.
A 15-minute preliminary and a 30
minute semi-windup will complete the
ohow, Vhich will start promptly at
8:30 o'clock. '
RUTH GETS FIRST HOME RUN
Clont Gleaned Off Delivery of Van
glider of Browns.
NEW YORK, May 22.. Babe Ruth
made his first home run of the season
in the eighth inning of today's game
with St. Louis. There was no one
on base. Vangilder was pitching..
This time last year Ruth had 12
home runs of his record string of 59
for the season. On May 25, 1921, he
Increased it to 13. As Kenneth Will
iams, his St. Louis rival, who played
in the game against him today, has
been on a "home run" slump eince
coming east, Ruth is only 10 markers
behind the league leader.

ANITA STEWART in "The Woman
He Married" is the current at

Nothing startllngly new is offered,, hut
the theme is dramatically handled in
a manner that gives it a novel enter
taining value. - 1
The story concerns Roddy Warren,
son of wealth and idleness, who mar
ries an artist's model, played by Miss
Stewart. The elder Warren attempts
to break up the marriage, insisting
that the former model is socially be
neath his station In life. Roddy re
fuses to give up his bride, and sets to
work to try to support her and him
self. He attempts playwriting, as
though that were the easiest thing
n the world. The picture, however,
in that respect is consistently real
istic, for he does nob, turn out a
Broadway hit overnight. His effort
is insultingly rejected.
To help him his bride resumes her
posing for the notorious artist, keep
ing the husband in the dark regard
ing what she is doing. The father
has a detective report on her going
and coming from the studio. He
takes the son there, only to find the
artist murdered, and his bride shud
dering in an adjoining room.
It develops, however, that on that
particular occasion she had gone
there to protect her husband's young
sister from the sinister intentions of
the artist. The true culprit confesses.
however, she being an attractive miss
whom he had brought back with him
from Paris ostensibly for modeling
purposes. Realizing the true worth
of his newly acquired daughter-in-law,
the elder Warren apologizes and
heartily accepts her.
The entertaining value of the fea
ture would be Increased considerably
if the orchestra, whjle playing the
music for the picture, would sensibly
tone down. Continuous Wagnerian
effects inevitably get monotonous.
This is not merely a personal opinion,
but an unfavorable comment fre
quently heard.
Screen Gossip.
Louise Fazenda, leading girl screen
clown, is a Hoozier. She was born
in Lafayette, Ind. It was not until
her parents brought her to Los An
geles and Mack Sennett saw possibil
ities in her, that she began a success
ful screen career.
Marion Davies will be seen next in
"The Young Diana," adapted for the
screen from the novel of Marie
Corelli, This is Miss Davies' first
character part.
Carl Gantvoort in "When Romance
Rides," the film version of the Zane
Grey novel, "Wildfire," now at the
Majestic, was a distinct success in
light opera before he entered moving
picture work. The pleasures of his
own home, contrasted with the in
cessant travel, in opera work, caused
him to give up the footlights for the
Kleig lights.
It is hard tolmagineTully Marshall
in a heavy role. Nevertheless, Mar
shall made his reputation on the stage
playing character heavies, and in the
new six-reel comedy, "The Ladder
Jinx," he makes a compromise by
appearing in a comedy-heavy role.
"I shall follow in my father's foot
steps," teems to be the slogan of
young Willie Collier, Jr., son of Will
lam Collier, 'celebrated comedian.
"I'm going to get all the experience
I can in the movies," says young

Mother of Actor, Shell-Shocked in
London Air Raid, Said to
Have Improved Steadily.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 22. Im
migration authorities are investigat
ing the conditions upon which Han
nah Chaplin, the aged and shell
shocked mother of Charles Chaplin,
motion picture actor, and Sidney
Chaplin, is allowed to remain in the
United States. This became known
today with the issuance of an order
by E. J. Hennnig, assistant secretary
of labor, granting stay of time to
enable Mrs. Chaplin and counsel em
ployed by her sons to present legal
giuuima ior permuting ner to oe a
semi-permanent resident ' of the
United States.
Mrs. Chaplin, herself an actress, it
was explained, was mentally de
ranged by shocks suffered during one
of the first of the German aerial raids
on London during the war. When the
war ended her sons desired to take
her to California to give her environ
ment and treatment which would ease
her condition and possibly, it was
hoped, restore her reason. She was
after some difficulty given permis
sion to enter the United States and
remain for one year. The time ex
pired and the question has arisen
whether she can be legally allowed a
longer period of residence.
The Chaplin brothers, upon her ar
rival in the United States, gave as
surance that she would never become
a charge upon public charity, and in
stalled her in a cottage at Santa Mon
ica, Cal., under the care of trained
nurses and with expert medical and
neurological attention.
The attending physicians report it
was said that her mental condition
has Improved steadily, despite her
age, and counsel also have presented
a statement that Charles Chaplin is
worth more than f 1,000,000, con
tending that the extraordinary cir
cumstances justify some yielding in
the legal barriers against admission
to the United States of aliens, either
permanently or temporarily mentally
unsound.
A decision in Mrs. Chaplin's case, it
was said, was expected to be an
nounced shortly by the immigration
board of review.

nearly $16,000,000 in 1923, as com
pared to the present rates of pay,
but would cost approximately $1,000,-
000 more than the 1908 basis, com
puted on the present strength of the
services affected.
In writing the bill, Mr. Wadsworth
said, the Joint commission which con
ducted an extended Inquiry into the
subject sought to equalize and adjust
the rates of pay so that the com
pensation of officers and men alike
would be computed on a combination
of length of service and rank. The
chairman said it guarded against
what he termed "stagnation in pro
motion," so that an officer or man.
automatically would receive an in
crease in salary after given periods
of years, while at the same time, ac
cording to the senator's explanation,
the government would be protected
against the evils of "too rapid pro
motion" and the consequent rapid in
crease in base pay.
BLACKMAIL, SAYS SLAYER

BY SHOOTING VICTIM.
Veteran Auxiliary Chairman's
Name Signed to Note to Dad
dies' Club for $4 Loan.
Earl Anderson will have 99 days on
the county roekpile in which to medl
tate the error which led him to imper
sonate an ex-service man and to sign
the name of Mrs. Monte Walton, chair
man of the auxiliary to Over the Top
post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, to
a note to the Daddies' club authoriz
ing a loan of $4.
He was in the wrong courtroom
when he glibly related a tale of ex
tended and heroic service in the late
world war. District Judge Richard
Deich, Spanish war veteran and quar
termaster of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars post, made notes of the young
man's statements and then tied him
in a knot with a rigid cross-examination.
In this, he was assisted by George
E. Sandy, commander,' and Monte
Walton, adjutant, of the post.
Anderson represented to the Dad
dies' club that he had endeavored to
see the local post members, but that
they were busy in political fields and
that the auxiliary president was the
only one he could reach to authorize
the loan. He claimed to be a member
of Roosevelt post, Veterans of For
eign Wars, of Seattle. The charge
placed against htm wag vagrancy.

confession and arrest today.
This, with the announcement of

81 years old, is alleged to have de
clared that Peters, whom he had
known several years, and two com
panions known to him only as
"Charlie Ross" and "Jack," had been
blackmailing him for the last six
weeks. He said they had forced from
him various sums. Sheriff Werner
said tonight these totaled approxi
mately $25,000. Last Tuesday, Ward

furnished in cash.
GERMANS SEE PROGRESS
RELATIONS WITH STATES
MEN RESUMED AT GENOA.
Count Von Bernstorff Asserts Col
laboration of America Needed
to Get Loan.
BERLIN, May 22. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Genoa was a mile
stone for Germany only since it
meant that the personal relations of
the statesmen have been resumed and
Germany has re-entered the European
field of co-operation as a consequent
factor, declares Count von Bernstorff,
discussing the conference in demo
cratic Germany. Regarding the pos
sibility of a loan, he pointed out that
the collaboration of the United
States is essential thereto.
"In any case," he added, "the
United States would only be inter
ested if its peace policy was encour
aged. The Americans dare to impose
the condition that Europe disarm."
He expresses the opinion that the
financial transaction labeled "a loan
based on disarmament" would be fa
vored by the American- public, and
refers to Lloyd George's 'peace jof
God" as "a British peace, or more cor
rectly, an Anglo-American peace,
since the benediction of Washington
rests on the deeds of Lloyd George."
