Attack on Validity of School
Issue Explained.
PAPER CONSIDERED SAFE
Attempt to 'Get Out From Under
in Tailing Market Is Sus
pected by Directors.
Statements to the effect that the
opinion of Wood & Oakley, Chicago
bond attorneys, questioning validity
of the $3,000,000 issue of school dis
trict No. 1 was an "accommodation
opinion" were freely made yester
day by members of the school board
and their attorneys.
District. Attorney Myers, who has
taken a hand in the matter, was
among those who voiced such a
criticism of the Chicago experts'
opinion. He expressed the view
that it was not only hurriedly
written but was so technical a
quibble that it would fail t$" stop
Bale of the bonds.
By denominating the eastern
attorneys' criticism of the call under
which the bond election was held
an "accommodation opinion," the
school interests plainly implied that
the experts set out to find eome
technicality through which the
bidders might avoid taking the
$300,000 of the bonds on which they
bid. As the motive of this was cited
the fact that the bond market has
weakened since the bids were made.
Even at bond prices prevailing at
the time tenders were received, it
was said the bidders offered an un
usually high price.
Confidence Is Expressed.
Attorneys and board members ex
pressed confidence yesterday that
there will be no serious delay for
the school building programme. Two
things may obviate this. One may
be a speedy decision from the state
supreme court, passing upon the
validity of the bonds. The other
may be the purchase of the bonds
just as authorized, by firms which
have confidence in their validity.
There was current a rumor that
some firms have such confidence
in the opinion of W. A. Johnson,
"Portland attorney, who approved the
bonds, that they will buy them with
out further question. Mr. Johnson
is the member of the law firm of
Teal, Minor & Winfree, who exam
ined the issue for this firm and ap
proved it for the school board.,
District Attorney Myers, after a
personal Investigation of the matter
yesterday, made this statement:
Programme Not to Be Delayed.
"The school district's building
programme will, not be materially
delayed by the adverse opinion of
the Chicago bond attorneys. If a
test case is necessary it will not
take more than one month to get a
decision. I have absolutely no doubt
as to the favorable outcome.
"VV. A. Johnson, of the firm of
Teal, Minor & Winfree, has ap
proved the issue and he is an ac
cepted authority on the Pacific
coast. I even believe that the bond
issue can be sold in full on Mr.
Johnson's opinion without the neces
sity of a test case.
"The block of $300,000 of bonds
which was offered was taken by a
syndicate composed of one local
bond house and numerous eastern
concerns. The local bond house was
ready to act, I understand, on Mr.
Johnson's opinion and to go through
with the purchase, so far as it was
concerned.
Bid Unusually High One.
"The bid, however, was unusually
high, even for the condition of the
market at the time it was made. The
market since then has gone off sev
eral points. The bids, of course,
were subject to legal approval of
the bidders' attorneys. The adverse
opinion might easily, under the cir
cumstances, be considered an opinion
of accommodation. Certainly it ap
pears to be hurriedly, if now slov
enly, written.
"Considering the importance of
the matter and the necessity of go
ing ahead without unnecessary de
lay in the district's building pro
gramme I have no doubt but that
the supreme court will, upon appli
cation, advance a test case on its
docket, in case it is necessary to
bring one." ,
Conference Is Considered.
Recommendation of the Chicago
attorneys that their clients decline
to buy the bonds was based on the
fact that the election call said the
voting would be done at the "vari
ous" polling places, instead of using
the stereotyped words, "usual" or
"regular. This was disclosed Wed
nesday night at a meeting of the
school board. The firms compos
ing the syndicate which was
awarded the first block of $300,000
of the bonds were the Merchants
Loan &. Trust company and Ames,
Emerich & Co. of Chicago, and the
Ladd & Tilton bank of Portland.
It was said yesterday that In
case it is deemed expedient to ob
tain a supreme court ruling on val
idity of the bonds a conference will
be held today to frame this course
of action. This would Include mem
bers of the school board, more par
ticularly of the business committee.

CLAUDE S. JENSEN yesterday
signed the biggest contract for
the exhibiting of a picture ever
signed in Portland. It was for
"When Knighthood Was in Flower,"
which attraction will open at the
Peoples theater on Saturday, No
vember 23.
"When Knighthood Was in Flow
er," the stupendous Cosmopolitan
production starring Marion Davies,
was the artistic sensation of London
and admittedly the most lavish mo
tion picture ever made.
Following its opening in LonTon,
and request showing at York house,
London residence of the prjnce of
Wales, press and public were un
stinted in praise of "When Knight
hood Was in Flower,'' both from the
viewpoint of historical accuracy and
the best in cinema acting, costum
ing, setting and direction.
Premiere showings in New York
and Chicago were no less auspicious,
and through long runs attendance
shows no indication of lessening
interest.
"When Kn'ghthood Was in Flow
er," written by Charles Major, was
the most successful book of the sea
son when it appeared some years
ago. The novel was dramatized and
had a long and successful career as
a stage play with Julia Marlowe,
then at the height of her career, in
the part of Mary Tudor, the role
portrayed by Marion Davies in the
photoplay version of the story.
. The cast surrounding Miss Davies
includes some of the finest screen
actors and actresses. The sets, far
beyond anything before attempted
in the realm of cinema, are the con
ception of Joseph Urban, noted stage
artist. Robert Vignola directed the
production, his work being recog
nized by eastern critics as the very
finest of his career.
"When Knighthood-Was in Flow
er" deals extravagantly with the
love of Mary Tudor, sister of' Henry
IDAHO FARMERS TP MEET
STATE-WIDE CONFERENCE IS
CALLED FOR TUESDAY.
Problems Vital to All Branches
of Agriculture Included in
Programme ol Sessions.
BOISE. Idaho, Nov. 16. (Spe
cial.) At the call of Miles Cannon,
commissioner of agriculture, issued
today, a state-wide conference of
farmers, fruitgrowers, dairymen
and poultrymen of Idaho will be
held in the house of representatives
chamber ' at the state capitol Tues
day, December 5, for the discussion
of the most important problems af
fecting agriculture. '
The meeting will be In" thre ses
sions, the first at 10 o'clock on the
morning, at which time Governor
elect Moore will give an address on
"Agricultural Policies for Idaho";
the second beginning at 1:30 o'clock
for consideration of various specific
questions, and the third in the eve
ning. Two special features of the con
vention determined upon since Com
missioner Cannon issued the call, he
said today, will be the reception of
a delegation of Walla Walla fruit
growers and a decision on sending a
representative from Idaho to the
western states agricultural confer
ence at Sacramento.
The Walla Walla delegation will
be sent, the commissioner has been
informed, to try to harmonize as be
tween the growers and their depart
ment in Idaho, and those in Wash
ington, the standard size of suitcase,
trades and manner of making sales.
GOVERNORSHIP IS SOUGHT
JUDGE WEBSTER SAID
ASPIRE TO CHAIR.
TO
Representative, Re-elected at Last
Election, Expected to Seek
Gubernatorial Job Next.
PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
Nov. 16. If J. Stanley Webster, re
publican representative in congress
from the fifth Washington district.
had to take the people of the state
fully Into his confidence right away,
there would be no delay in the an
nouncement of his candidacy for
governor. Representative Webster's
mind is said to be made up as to
this matter, but since the election
will not take place until 1924 there
is no pressing need for an immedi
ate announcement.
Meanwhile many things may hap-
j pen, some of which might cause
VIII, for Charles Brandon, a cap
tain of the guards. Henry wants
Mary Tudor to marry Louis XII of
France, and actually does succeed
in forcing the ceremony. But not
before Charles and the princess
have made a gallant attempt to
elope, and not before the head of
Charles Brandon has been narrowly
saved from the block in the tower
of London.
As the story develops, so does the
intense heart interest, and this has
been clothed in the photoplay ver
sion of the drama with a wealth of
historical detail, costume and action
impossible of attainment in any
production of the speaking stage.
Screen Gossip. . '
Rodolph Valentino in "The Toung
Rajah" has been booked as a forth
coming attraction at the Liberty
theater. The scenario for this pro
duction was written by June Mathis,
who also wrote the continuity for
"Blood and Sand" and "The Four
Horsemen," in which this same star
had a stellar role.
What a welcome relief it would
be if some of the managers would
vary their programmes and give us
a rest from fables, with about as
much point as the side of a box car,
and the inevitable alleged comedy
cat with his detachable tail and
tiresome antics. Worth-while travel
pictures are enjoyable and instruc
tive. By travel pictures is not nec
essarily meant the so-called "scen
ics" with their , invisible "story"
running through them.
,
A dramatic -and thrilling photo
drama of mother love and the cruel
law that sanctions the separation of
mother and child form the basis
of "The Forgotten Law," which is
coming to the Majestic theater. Mil
ton Sills is the featured player,
ably supported by Jack Mulhall.
"A woman's behavior dictates a
man's attitude toward her" is one of
the pertinent titles in "The Impossi
ble Mrs. Bellew" at the Columbia.
Holding the theatrical world
spellbound for years, the dramatic
version of Ouida's immortal epic,
"Under Two Flags," was one of the
greatest of all stage plays. Blanche
Bates was perhaps the most noted
artist who portrayed the tragic fig
ure ..of Cigarette. . The screen has
been waiting for years for Priscilla
Dean to impersonate Cigarette as
she does in the tlniversal-Jewel film
version of "Under Two Flags," com
ing to the Rivoli theater Saturday.
Her director was Tod Browning, the
man who guided her in "Outside the
Law." '
Judge Webster to change his mind.
As the situation stands at this time,
however, there is no doubt that he
feels very much drawn toward the
executive offices and mansion at
Olympia and that he already has
assurances of substantial support.
Judge Webster is one of many
representatives in congress from
the west who appreciate the honor
their constituents have conferred
upon them, but who do not like to
live in Washington, D. C. On the
other hand, he does like to live in
Olympia, where he made his home
while serving as one of the state
supreme court justices. As a repre
sentative In congress he has made
an acceptable record, and has just
been re-elected by his constituents,
although the district gave a big
majority for C. C. Dill, the demo
cratic senatorial candidate.

ways, however, he said.

SHIP ,1051 RAPPED
NATIONAL GRANGE LEADER
CHARGES PATERNALISM.
Liberalism, Socialism and Single
Tax Are Decried at Annual
Session of Organization.
WICHITA, Kan., Nov. 16. Speak
ing before delegates from every
Stat, in the union at Che first day's
meeting of the 56th annual session
of the national grange, Patrons of
Husbandry, Sherman J. Lowell, na
tional master, voiced the stand of
the grange on several Important
legislative measures, in many cases
unfavorable. In reviewing them he
stressed ship subsidies.
"The. most outstanding' legislative
issue at present Is Uie proposal for
a ship subsidy, which Is but one
form of more government paternal
ism taking from one class of peo
ple to help another. The only justi
fication for such a proposal would
be that It might return to the tax
payers its equivalent in enhanced
values of commodities or reduction
in. cost of production. Those advo
cating this measure claim that we
can ship out our merchandise cheap
er, but are silent on the fact that
it will opera wider our doors to the
agriculture of the world and put us
at once in competition with the
peasantry just as soon as conditions
become stabilized," he declared.
In stating the attitude of the
grange toward such a measure Mr.
Lowell declared that there was not
a grange in the United States that
had challenged the opposition by
the national body of the shipping
subsidy. He also made a vigorous
attack on all forms of paternalism.
Liberalism, like socialism and single
tax, was decried.
JURY GETS BARKER CASE
Washington Sheriff and Others
Charged With Conspiracy.
SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. 16. The

In giving his instruction to the

the case Judge Rudkin said "Sheriff
Barker is not on trial for failure to
enforce the prohibition Jaws in Fer
ry county, but for Jhe commission
of a certain crime." Speaking of
the testimony presented by certain
of the government witnesses, Judge

Mining society of American uni
versities, two neophytes, candidates
for the order, cooked flapjacks over
a fire before the assembly hour
yesterday.
This is the first public initiation
held by the society for four years.
This is the one organization which
chooses to have its initiates cavort
ridiculously in 'the eyes of the
student body, rather than have
them orate nonsensically on the
library steps. The two neophytes
who demonstrated their culinary
artistry were Harold McConnell and
Homer Wise.
