ATTORNEY IS INDICTED W. T. VACGHST FACES 3 CHARGES OF WITHHOLDING MONEY, Grand Jury Indictments Grow Out of Personal Injury Case Tried Two Years Ago, Involving $203.60. Three indictments, each charging lar ceny by embezzlement, were returned by the grand jury yesterday against W. T. Vaughn, attorney and former City Councilman. The amount involved in the three charges, all of which grew out of a single Case Mr. Vaughn con ducted two years ago, is 1203.60. Cir cuit Judge McGinn allowed the attor ney to go on his own recognizance, with directions to be ready to report to the court when called. Mr. Vaughn is charged with with holding moneys which came into his hands as attorney for Mabel Rogers in the settlement of the personal in Jury case against the Fortland Rail way, Light & Power Comnay, tried be fore Circuit Judge McGinn in July 1912. One indictment charges IWra with embezzling $167 belonging to his client, and two charge him with with holding withness fees of 18.20 and 28.40 from T. M. Howland and W. 3. Guy respectively. Suit was brought by Vaughn and Attorney F. S. Wilhelm October 2o, 1911, for Miss Rogers against the rail way company for personal injuries. At the trial in Judge McGinn's court in July, 1912, they received a verdict of $5000 which was appealed to, the Supreme Court. The verdict of the lower court was sustained by the Su preme Court, the mandate being Issued August, 1913, giving Judgment to Miss Rogers for $5000 and interest, until paid, fro mthe date of the verdict in the lower court, and assessing costs to the railway company. The suit was taken on a 50 per cent contingency, it is said, and when. Mr. Vaughn settled with his client, it is alleged, he failed to pay her one-half of the interest and failed to settle with Howland and Guy for appearing as witnesses At the trial. An indictment charging assault wjth a dangerous weapon was returned against Louis Stros, who shot and wounded Tim Healey in a pistol duel on Portland Heights in January. The .case had been allowed to lapse pend ing the recovery of Healey, but re cently Stros became restless in the County Jail and asked Sheriff Word to turn htm loose op send him to prison. It is believed .that Healey is out of danger and the case was put before the grand Jury Thursday. Two indictments were returned against Charles M. Phillips, one charging him with contributing to the delinquency of & 12-year-old girl and one charging him with a statutory crime against the same child. A not true bill was returned' against Ernest . Shepherd on the same charge. Two not true bills were returned against A. I. Petty charged with lssu ing two small worthless checks. .

I wish you would telephone to Hilliard that I want him to do the washing that he will be locked , up If he doesn't."

HIGH PERCENTAGE PASSED Belief E-ypresed That Field Artillery Would Be Necessity in Mexican Invasion and Oregon Troops Are Expectant. Recruiting was continued actively at the Armory last night. Colonel Martin and the members of his staff are greatly pleased at the high class of men who are offering them selves for service, and the percentage of men that are being accepted by the surgeons is declared unusually high. The greatest attraction at the Armory Friday night was Battery A. Oregon Field Artillery, which went through its standing gun drill, under command o Captain Hiram U. Welch. The action of the battery elicited praise from Colonel Martin and other officers, and talk was heard of the availability of this branch of the serv ice for use in Mexico. "The battery's chances for active service are especially good, said Colonel Martin, "and I would not be surprised if a call for the Third Ore gon would not be followed immediately by one for the battery." It is freely admitted in military cir cleg that the United States Army Is lacking in field artillery. Field artil lery will be an important factor in of fensive operations in Mexico. There fore it is regarded as almost a cer tainty that a call for the field artillery men of the various states will be issued at the same time as one for the militia. Battery A has a high rating among the militia batteries of the country and its commander. Captain Welch, at tended the artillery school conducted PORTLAND GIRL WINS ORA TORICAL HONORS.

Attendance Jumps From OS to 9S Per Cent and Number oj Tardy Drops From 59 to EUarbt . In Season. AIRLIE, Or., April 22. (Special.) A desire to improve home conditions, an active part in the Industries of the farm and valley, the raising of poultry and livestock, an. improvement in the school work, better -attendance, and a healthier appearance on the part of the pupils are declared results of the home credit system, in operation In some of the rural schools of Folic County. Under the plan, the pupils receive credit at school for the distance they walk each day going to and from school, chores done at home, proper care of body. Bleeping with windows open, care of teeth, hair, etc. When the pupils have acquired 800 points each they are given a holiday, but in few cases has advantage been taken of the day, as encouragement has been given in the knowledge hat a day lost was the loss of a day's work as well. Tardiness on the part of any- pupil doing the work means a loss of so many credits already accumulated. At Fairview the pupils took up the work at the beginning of the terra of 1912-13 and carried it through the en tire school year. During the previous year at Fair view the school had a record of 95 per cent in attendance and 59 tardles. For the term in which the home credit system was in vogue the record was 98 per cent In attendance and eight tafdies. The parents of the district say the pupils are doing more work at home than they ever did before, and that the industrial education the chil dren are receiving is of great value. As far as we are concerned, prize fighters don't need to shake hands be fore they strike each other. o o o o o o oo o o o o Give You life II ilf POLL VOTE RIDICULED HANXUG KIGtTRBS GIVEN" TO DE CEIVE VOTERS, CHARGE. Supporters of Judge A. S. Bennett, Democratic Candidate for Governor, ' The supporters of Judge A. S. Ben nett, Democratic candidate for Gov erenor, ridicule the alleged poll of the Democratic votes -of 29 counties which was given out by R. A. Caples, John Manning's campaign manager, and printed in Friday's paper. In discussing the figures submitted by Mr. Caples, R. H. Guthie, one of Judge Bennett's supporters, character ized the Caples poll as follows: "The pretended poll of Mr. Caples. manager of Mr. Manning, is obviously in Mr. Manning's interest, tls evident purpose was to frighten the anti Smith vote and if possible to shift it from Judge Bennett to Mr. Manning by making Mr. Manning to appear to be the stronger of the two. "It may be presumed that such ficti tious and imaginary polls will be re sorted to frequently from now on, until the end of the campaign. But the trick la an old one and will deceive no one. "Judge Bennett is gaining strength every day, not only here in Portland, but also in the outlying districts. "He has Just returned from Eastern Oregon, where he visited Union, Wal lowa and Baker counties, and he found everything encouraging. Out of 15,000 or 16,000 Democratic votes in Eastern Oregon, Mr. Manning will probably not get over 1000. certainly he will not get over 1500. "All our advices are that Judge Ben nett will carry Eastern Oregon by at least 3000 over Dr. Smith and by S000 over Mr. Manning. Every indication is that he will also carry nearly all the Columbia River and Willamette Valley Counties and come to Fortland with a very large majority."

TENTH AND ALDER. 7 WASH OUT DANDRUFF The Simplest and Quickest Way Is to Dissolve It. The only sure way to get rid of dan druff is to dissolve it. then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring: usa enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gen tly with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning most if not all of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and traca of It, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all Itching and, digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. If you want to preserve your hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for nothing destroys tho hair more quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but it makes it stringy, straggly, dull, dry. brittle and lifeless, and everyone notices it. You can get liquid arvon at ainy drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to lio tho work. AdY. hi 1111 YOU CAN BRUSH OR
