THE MORNING OR EG ONI AN. WEDNESDAY. MAT 34, 1923 LADY ASTOR LAUDS PROHIBITION I World's Spiritual Regenera tion Held Promoted, VISITOR SAILS FOR HOME Liquor Interests, Preachers of Hate and Northcliffe Press Rapped in Farewell Statement. XEW YORK, May 23.-,ProhibUion in the United States and several Canadian provinces ha been a "big contribution to the Epiritual regen eration of the world," said Lady As tor today in a farewell statement, summing up her opinions on the dry quesiion. She sailed for home today. Special workers had told her, she raid, that the Salvation Army, so cieties and churches now had a great lv reduced task as a result of the dry laws. "When I balance the result, offset the uplifting of the poor and strug gling and the salvation which prohi bition has brought to many wives and children, against the alleged degrada tion of some of the rich, well, I have no doubt the net result for the coun try has been good," she continued. Lady Astor declared that the only anti-American propaganda she had seen in England was engendered by liquor interests which have gone into politics over the liquor question. She said prohibition had shown itself not only a problem of social welfare, but clean politics as well. Preceding Lady Astor up the Aqui tania's gangplank by only a moment was William Randolph Hearst, whose name has been connected with guber natorial aspirations, but who today came out for Mayor Hylan. 'When 1 am running for office, I don't run away," Lady Astor re marked, greeting a group of report ers on the deck. When someone asked her if her remark was "apropos of one of her fellow passengars," she winked and said: "I'm just saying that's the Eng lish method." Lady Astor remarked that the one discordant note in her visit had been the clamor of some who advocated de porting her as an undesirable alien. 'The only ones who wanted me de ported as an undesirable alien," she eald, "are those who preach hate in the name of God." June 13 to , 16, stepped from the steamer Maui today, while the band of Islam temple of San Francisco, flanked by a big reception committee, snapped out a welcoming march.

" Agreeable Chaps Met in Park Get Letter of Credit in Course . of Gay Lunch. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) LONDON, May 22. (Special cable.) An even 1000 it cost Ernest Bake well of Ohio to learn the familiar "con" game i "I trust jou, you trust me." It was the old, old story. : Bakewell met tho well dressed Mr. O'Reilly of Australia in the park. O'Reilly was a likeable chap and the American soon was telling him of the thousand pounds letter of credit he carried in his pocket. O'Reilly persuaded Bake well to cash it and thus ended act 1 Act 2 introduced the equally agree able Mr. Martin, a perfect stranger to both, of course. O'Reilly invited both men to lunch with him, and over the table Martin confided that he was a member of a wealthy American fam ily entrusted with a iarge sum of money for distribution to deserving poor in the United States. He thought Bakewell was just the man to help him. "This will show I'm a man of sub stance" Martin declared as he handed what looked like a bundle of bank notes to O'Reilly. The philanthropist insisted O'Reilly and Bakewell step outside with his roll, he wanted to show his trust in them. Then Bakewell's 1000 was brought Into action. Martin induced Bakewell to give him the money for 15 min utes. Exit Martin. In a few min utes exit O'Reilly to look for Martin. Act 3 is another old, old story. Th scene is the police station, the wordi too well known to need repetition. MOB RULE IS DENOUNCED Action Js Taken at Closing Session of Southern Baptists. JACKSONVILLE. Fla., May 23.

THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, D. C, May 23. Repre-' sentative Sinnot, presiding over the first meeting of the house public lands committee today since the Ore gon primaries, was heartily congratu lated on his renomination. Immediate ly after the committee convened. Rep resentative Whiteof Kansas extend ed the felicitations of the commit tee, saying he had authority to speak for both republicans and democrats. Change Is Announced by Secretary-Brunibangh as Itcsult of Attorney-General's Opinion. , SALEM, Or., May 23. (Special.) The time limit for filing initial appli cation for the cash bonus or loan un der the so-called bonus law has been extended from May 25 to June 20 of this year. This was announced to night by Captain Harry Brumbaugh, secretary of the world war veterans' state aid commission. . This change in the rules of the commission, Captairt Brumbaugh said, was based on an opinion of the attorney-general. The attorney-general held in his opinion that although the legislative enact ment, if considered alone, would have made the time limit effective May 26 of this year, the constitutional amend ment which authorized and ratified the law did not become effective until the governor issued his proclamation on June 21, 1921. Since the law became effective only upon the passage of the constitutional amendement, the attorney-general held that the time limit for receiving applications should be determined by the date the amendment became op erative. The rules of the commission provide that applications must be filed within one year after the act became effective, and as a result all applications received at the offices of the commission up to midnight, June 20, willi be considered. Under another opinion of the attorney-general, the filing of the ini tial application for either the cash j bonus or loan establishes the appli cant's right to receive either. As a result of this opinion an applicant who had expressed a preference for the loan in the initial application and for some reason was unable to com plete the transaction, would be en titled to receive the cash bonus in lieu thereof, although the time limit for making application for the cash bonus had expired. Eligible relatives of deceased vet erans whose cases are affected by the result of the suits now pending in the courts should protect them selves by filing initial applications before June 21. Mr. Brumbaugh said. This applies more especially to the el igible relatives of veterans who have died since filing their applications and before they were acted upon. Level-headed business men who exer cise the same care in choosing their clothes as they do in conducting the rest of their personal affairs find "Stein-Bloch" and "Langham" suits "paying investments." And it is not only wearability that is the basis of these men's judgment. Also considered is the worth of the "good, ap pearance" that so agreeably is furnished by "Stein-Bloch" and "Langham" clothes. Men's limbing Section On the Fifth Floor.

Orphlim matinee today. 1 5-25-50-Ad. mil May Be Brought t'p in Senate Committee Soon Time for Study Is Wanted. .1 WASHINGTON, D. C, May 13. Chairman McCumber may bring up the soldiers' bonus bill in senate finance committee majority without waiting for President Harding to communi cate his views on the amended house measure. He said today he would try to get the bill before majority some time this week. , Senator McCumber desires to have the bonus measure placed on the sen ate calendar at an early date so sen ators may have pportunity to study it and thus be prepared for senate consideration when a favorable op nnrtunitv offers. Before the bill can be reported to the senate, however, it must be approved by the entire finance committee, republicans and democrats. SnmA renublican senate leaders are I in favor of letting the bonus question rest for a while in the hope that the negotiat'on looking to the refunding of the foreign debt soon will reach the stage where some definite infor mation will he availahle as to when the refunded foreign bonds will be in hand for financing the adjusted compensation legislation. Supporters of the legislation jn its present form, however, argue that the cost of financing for the first two years will be so small that there is no need of waiting until the for eign bonds actually are in the pos session of the treasury department before the legislation is enacted. The amended house bill was out lined to the president two weeks ago by Senator McCumber and others of the finance committee, and it was stated then that the president would i communicate his views to the com mittee. Thus far Chairman McCumber has received no word from him. pointed postmaster at Ilwaco, has gone to Seattle to receive instruc tion prior to assuming the position. Mrs. M. E.
