ROMANCE IS ARGUED
Mathilde McCormlck's Jlother De
clares Riding Master . May
Have Mercenary Motives.
fc.
CHICAGO, Jun 1. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) While lawyers argued
over? the tangrled romance of Ma
thilde McCormick, 17-year-old heir
ess, Judge Horner waited in vain in
probate court today for the formal
filing of her mother's protest against
kr marriage to Max Oser, Swiss rid
ing master.
The Judge had ordered that the
objections of Mrs. Edith Rockefeller
McCormlck, divorced wife of Harold
T. McCormlck. head of the Interna
tional Harvester company, be filed
with him before 1 P. It. the court
closed without any action having been
taken.
That no decision had teen reached
ty Mrs. McCormlck regarding whether
she would continue her battle to pre
vent the marriage, was announced by
Charles S. Cutting, her attorney, and
Edwin H. Cassels, counsel for her ex
husband, following a lengthy confer
ence. Both said that they had at
tempted to reach an agreement to
settle the matrimonial dispute out of
court.
Agreement Not Reached.
There are no objections to pre
vent an agreement. But thus far there
imply has been no agreement
reached," said Mr. Cutting. "If we are
unable to agree Saturday, when Judge
Horner has announced he will hear
final arguments in the case, it is
very likely that the legal efforts will
be drooped."
When Mrs. McCormlck filed her pe
tition to restrain Mr. McCormlck, as
cuardlan. from approving the contem
plated marriage she asserted that her
objection's were based on the ground
fhat Oser was too old, being Ma
thildas senior by 27 years; that he
was in effect a fortune hunter with
out aufficient means to support a
wife, and that Mathilde would lose
ler American citizenship by the mar
riage. Objections Are Heard.
Judge Horner, after hearing the ob
jections, confirmed Mr. McCormlck as
his daughter's guardian and an
agreement was reached that no ac
tion should be taken regarding the
marriage until after a further hear
ing Saturday. The judge had then
demanded of Mrs. McCormlck "addi
tional grave reasons" why Mathilde
ehould not marry Oser.
Another woman entered into the
ease today, according to Charles Cut
ting, attorney for Mrs. McCormlck.
"I understand that this is not the
first time that Oser has tried to marry
a rich American girl," he said. "He
ems to have tried to take advantage
of opportunities afforded by the fact
that many society people were mem
ber ot his riding school." ,
Mercenary siottves Feared.
Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormlck,
Mathilde' mother, expressed-' the fear
that thare were mercenary motives in
Max's courtship of her daughter,: who
is heir to part of the Rockefeller
millions as well as some of the Mc
Cormlck wealth. The marriage, Mrs.
McCormlck said, might ' subject Ma
thilde to "the machinations and In
trigues of designing persons."
The unusual, if not unprecedented
situation, of an injunction petition to
prevent an international marriage of
the Ofer-McCormick sort will likely
head Mathilde's romance to a higher
court, it was said today. Ex-Judge
Cutting, counsel for Mrs. McCormlck,
Intimated that should Judge Horner
give judicial approval to Mr. McCor
mlck's tacit consent to the contem
plated union and deny the petition, he
will appeal.
At the suggestion of the court and
the concurrence of counsel who en
gaged in a verbal tilt yesterday over
the petition, Mr. McCormlck has
agreed to withhold consent of the
marriage until Saturday.
SOFT SHUT LAI BROKEN
TTEMz-KNOWN BAKER CITIZENS
, HAND CUFFED AND FINED.
Judge Who Sits on Case Hastily
Throws Collar Through Wln
! dow of Court Boom.
BAKER, Or., June 1. (Special.)
"Bakers' emergency ordinance," reg
ulating attire of both males and fe
males went into effect today and
...... v uiuio law a.uiaing man
"transgressing" citizens. Four prom
inent business men were haled into
court after being handcuffed and paid
BO cents each as fines. They were
J. H. Blaka, John Schmitz, A. I Den
ney and C. L. Beaty.
"The "ordinance," placed on its
first reading by the city commission
ers in session Monday, provides that
men shall wear soft shirts with col-
otiauuea, oroaa-orimmea Aats and
either corduroy trousers or overalls.
Women must appear in calico dresses
or suffer the penalty of the "law."
The ordinance was proposed by the
executive committee of ;lie Old Ore
gon Trail and Pioneer Pageant, to be
held in this city July 4. It is intended
to have all citizens attired as nearly
as possible as were the early pion
eers to whom the pageant is dedicated.
The police force started in early to
day to catch the alleged violators.
When the four violators neared the
city hall It was reported fhat Police
juage J. u. smurtnwaite hurriedly re
moved his collar and threw it from a
window before dispensing "justice as
written in the law."
One business man was understood
to hold an entirely too practical atti
tude towards the spirit of the thing,
according to those citizens who had
the matter in their charge, and when
an officer attempted to "arrest" him
his Ire was so aroused that he threw
a chair at the official. Now the cit
izens are planning to have the in
fractor haled into court tomorrow for
resisting an officer.
In every case of violation the pris
oners at once donned "proper" garb.
A community election is to be held
June 7 to elect a mayor and police
chief to hold office until after the
pageant, to take charge of all pag
eant affairs.

WAR FRAUD FIGHT WAGES
. V
HOUSE SEES FURIOUS DEBATE
OP PARTY LEADERS.
Veiled References to Figures of
National Prominence Rouse
Fiery Utterances. '
WASHINGTON, June 1. The war
frauds fight raging for days in the
senate broke with unexpected fury in
the house today, 10 minutes after the
rules committee had rescinded its
action in giving right of way to a
republican resolution for investiga
tion of the lack of government prose
cution of alleged war grafters.'
Charges by Chairman Campbell of
the committee "in a word to demo
crats" that their attack on Attorney
General Daugherty was the only way
in which they could "serve war
crooks" threw the house into dis
order. There were cheers from the
republican side as the charge was
flung In shouting voice at the demo
crats, all of them silent save one,
who hissed. . . '
It brought f rom " Representative
Garrett, the democratic leader, the as
sertion that Chairman Campbell, who
in the first instance had voted to put
the investigation resolution before
the house, "had been Induced by the
attorney-general to change his vote
and vote not to investigate the de
partment of justice."
Curiously enough, the row started
during consideration of a measure
which Bought to find work for idle
prisoners, and, as a veteran member
expressed it, "they were off after
that"
Amid democratic cheers, Mr. Gar
rett declared that Chairman Camp
bell, "as an excuse for his own turn
coating, for his own weakness of will,
for his own lack of intellectual in
tegrity and courage, assails the dem
ocratic administration."
After Mr. Garrett had presented a
letter from former Attorney-General
Palmer courting an investigation by
congress, Representative Mondell, the
republican leader, declared he was
glad the committee had rescinded its
action.
"A congressional investigation at
this time," Mr. Mondell said, "could
serve no other purpose than that of
delay, of preventing prompt action of
the grand jury and courts. I am not
surprised that gentlemen whose names
may figure in investigations before
grand juries prefer a congressional
investigation to action by the grand
juries and the courts. That is their
only hope.
In his speech Mr. Campbell said the
activities "of a man In the Chicago
convention will not operate in -his
defense In the grand jury room," and
that "the presentation of a name to
the 8an Francisco convention will not
exempt his name from presentation
by the grand jury."

OFFICIALS IN CONFERENCE
Parley Not Productive of Optim

Solution of Problem.
LONDON, June 1. (By the Associ
ated Press.) Interest in the Irish sit
uation shifted today to Ulster, where
the borderland disturbances and the
Belfast outrages are more serious
than ever. The conference of Sir
James Craig, the Ulster premier, and
the Marquis of Londonderry with Pre
mier Lloyd George were not produc

It is understood that the question
of the support to be given to northern
Ireland in case of an invasion of
that territory, was considered and an
agreement reached. The situation re
mains grave. "
Today's cabinet meeting for consid
eration of the Irish situation was at
tended by General the Earl of Cavan,
chief of staff of the British army,
and Sir Laming Worthington-Evans,
the secretary for war. It is . under

According to the Evening News.
Prime Minister Lloyd George regards
the situation as so grave that he has

The German rate ' also improved,

quotation of 100 for 32 cents.
Strength, of British exchange, ac

that the moratorium would he fol

nounced today that in the course of
searches made in the Falls' area of
Belfast last evening the police ar
rested two persons in responsible po
sitions who were found in possession

EDITH' ATTACK FOILED
NORTHWEST DELEGATES SHOW
SMITH-McNARY RECORD.
Bill Declared Out of Committee
Before Newspaper Attack Was
Begun About Delay.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, D. C June l.-r-Evidence
has been received here in the last
few days of a systematic attack on
members of the Oregon, Washington
and Idaho delegations for failure to
get the Smlth-McNary reclamation
bill out of committee.
These attacks have been -made edi
torially by a string of propaganda
newspapers published in the leading
cities of Oregon and Washington.
Such attacks, it was pointed out,
show an ignorance of the status of
this legislation. The Smlth-McNary
bill was reported out of both senate
and house committees more than two
months ago. Senator McNary re
ported It to the senate and Repre
sentative Smith of Idaho reported it
to the house. All the members of the
three state delegations have been
active in the fight for the bill. They
have called on the president and ob
tained his indorsement, and Repre
sentative French of Idaho is the
chairman of a western committee
which has been trying for three
weeks to break down the opposition
of Representative Mondell to a rule
bringing the bill before the house.
Representative Sinnott of Oregon has
gone from one house . leader to an
other for several days urging action.

Fresh Instructions Are Awaited
From South America All
Officials Stay Silent.
WASHINGTON. D. C, June l.-(Byi
the Associated Press.) The Chilean-
Peruvian conference Tiere again came
to a full stop today to wait for fresh
instructions from South. America.
No date for resuming the confer
ence sessions was fixed nor would
any official express a personal opin
ion as to when the next meeting could
be held.
Neither side, however, appeared to
regard the situation as constituting a
deadlock and both declared they still
hoped -a way to agreement! would be
tound. -
Chile's attitude toward the Chilean
arbitration proposal generally was re
garded as having made it necessary
to formulate some new basis of dis
cussion. It was understood to be on
that subject that both the Chileans
and Peruvians desired to .again con
sult their home government.
The Chilean reply, it is said, has not
yet been laid before the conference in
final form, although indications of its
unfavorable nature are said to have
been given- the Peruvians at yester
day's session. In some quarters it is
suggested that when the final answer
of the Santiago government is ready
it may contain important counter pro
posals on which the discussions can
be continued.
