The $75,000 libel suit of Nathan B. Harvey against the Portland News, re sulting from investigations into the Hill murder of four years ago, was thrown out of court by Circuit Judge Davis yesterday when he sustained the demurrer of the newspaper. "The articles mentioned Jn the com plaint do not accuse Mr. Harvey of this crime any more than they accuse any body else," said Judge Davis. "There is no cause of action here. The de murrer will be sustained." Three articles, only one of which mentioned Harvey's name, were quoted in Harvey's complaint. The one which did mention his name said only that he had been before the grand Jury at Oregon City, and that a not true bill had been returned in his favor.

She plans to be a high-class concert singer, on tour. In a letter received by a Portland friend last night Miss Swinburne says she has been. engaged under the man agement of the Wolfsohn bureau and that she makes her debut as concert singer at Aeolian Hall, New York City, October 21. Miss Swinburne, in private life, Js Miss Anne Ditchburn, of this city, where she is esteemed as singer, opera star and reader. "I have definitely decided to enter concert singing this Fall," writes Miss Swinburne. "To do the thing I wanted to do required 'preparedness.' I have been coaching with Max Vogerich, and making good progress, I think. Mr. Adams the Wolfsohn bureau has tak en me under his management, and I consider this as a great compliment, as he has only the first artistes. My concert debut, about October 21. Is quite important to me. and I hope my friends everywhere will send me the speakers, and. among others will be Conrad Olson, Professor J. O. Hall and O. N. Nelson. Scandinavian songs and music will be provided. The train leaves the Union depot, Portland, at 8 A. M., and will stop at Oregon City and other stations to take on passengers. The train will leave Salem for Portland at 5 o clock, arriving here at 8 o'clock John Ovall is chairman of the Scandi navian day committee. "LIVING VENUS" WILL BE AT ORPHEUM. Brownie TJnpont. How an appearance in vaude ville in a minor role may be a big opportunity for an actress is exemplified in the case of Miss Brownie Dupont, "The Living Venus," who will fill a prominent plar:e in the show opening at the Orpheum this afternoon. Mies Dupont was a member of the company which supported Anna Held's daughter In her Orpheum visit here last year. Jesse L. Lasky, the producer, was im pressed with Miss Dupont's grace, and at the end of the tour he en gaged her for hia poelng act called "The Aurora of Light," in which she poses in a glgantlo seashell, upon which multi colored pictures are cast with a stereoptlcont isr At i llPilllll their good thoughts, that night espe cially. "It took a great deal of courage to refuse light ppera offers and plunge into what is to me, in Eastern profes sional work, an experiment. Concert work means a great leap forward to me. I have never been satisfied to be merely a light opera singer. Of course, I have been wonderfully suc cessful In that field. "I am happy now to be making a chance for myself among serious artistes. It Is astonishing to recall the flattering offers I have had from the light opera field since I determined to enter the new one. For instance, a world-famous violinist wanted to write an opera for me, and came to New York to see me about it. Two weeks ago I had an amazing offer from a big New York manager. He said he heard I was going into the concert field, but that he could tempt me out of it, he thought. He has a new opera by Lehar, and he said I must do it for him. He added that he would "star" me; that I would only have to sing seven times a BABY TAG DAY IS SET CHARITY BADGES TO BE SOLD NEXT SATURDAY. More Than 10O Society Women and Girls Will Make OnslaaKBt I'pon Public Pocket. More than 100 society women and girls have, so far, consented to canvass the city selling tags for the Albertina Kerr Nursery and the Louise Home next Saturday, October 2. They will bo stationed at street corners, hotel booths, department stores and other places where sales are possible. It will be the annual "tag day" of those institutions. Both are managed by the Pacific Rescue and Protective Association. Funds derived from the sale of the tags will be devoted to the maintenance of the two institutions, the one for babies and the other for unfortunate girls. Both institutions depend entirely upon public donations for carrying on their rescue work. Upon the tags that will be sold next Saturday will be the picture of the child found by the police recently at First and Sheridan streets. The child, now called "Baby" Clark, was . taken first by the police to the station and finally turned over to those in charge of the Albertina Kerr Nursery. A re ward of $50 has been offered for the discovery of the child's parentage, as that question must be determined be fore adoption if possible, and several applications have been received from prospective foster parents. W. C. T. U. Notes. THE WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN TEM PERANCE UNION organizations are holding regular annual meet ings, electing new officers and dele gates to state and county conventions. Umatilla County convention has Just been held in Pendleton. Mrs. J. C. Woodworth was re-elected president, Mrs. G. W. Rugg, re-elected treas urer; Mrs. John Smith, corresponding secretary; Mrs. A. F. May, vice-president. The union reporting largest gain m membership was Milton with 85. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union from the little town of Sum mit, in Benton County,, has made a good report of Its year's work. The great power of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union conies through Its hundreds of small bands of women In all parts of tha state and Nation. Arleta Woman's Christian Temper uim Union held Ita rtgujar meeting week instead of the usual eight, and that money was absolutely no object. I told him I was already booked for my first concert. He called me up again and told me he had another opera for me. The affair may end in my doing his opera for him, beginning in January and Just for the New York run. But I won't let it seriously interfere with my concerts."

SUIT MONEY IS AWAITED No lArrmal' Answer In Whiting: Di vorce Case Yet Filed. No formal answer will be filed in the divorce suit or Dr. Sandford Whit ing against Mrs. Whiting until the doctor furnishes suit money for his wife, attorneys stated yesterday. Yesterday was the last day set by Judge Gatens for an answer to be filed in the suit. Sensational charges were made, however, in an affidavit which was filed, asking for $500 at torney fees and $350 a month for the support of herself and two children.

A Second Semester to Include Study of Various Methods of Distribution In Wholesale and Re tall Businesses. A university which can teach a re tail grocer how to increase his profits 40 per cent without Increasing his sales can convince even the most ardent supporter of practical experience that useless theory is not the only thing that young men can learn within its walls. This is what the Harvard Bu reau of Business Research and the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration are reported to have done for the grocery, boot and shoe retailers and what the new depart merits in business administration at Reed College expect to do for its graduates. Professor Hudson B. Hastings, who has Just returned from a year's leave of absence at Harvard, has charge of the Reed business courses. The two new courses which he is giving this year In practical business economics are commercial methods and account ing. The course in accounting will deal first with general training in the fun damental principles of keeping ac counts. Statistics, according to Pro fessor Hastings, show that 91 per cent of the men who enter the retail gro eery business fail, most of them be cause they have no adequate system of accounts. They do not know what lines of goods-are running at a loss or which of the clerks on the selling force are the ones who are falling to make the business profitable. Work to Be Thorough. The Reed College course in accounts will give the students a thorough grounding in the bookkeeping terms and methods which underlie the man aging of any business. By teaching the students how to keep track of all the different lines of business they will be able to detect and stop the leaks which drive so many men "to the wall." Dur ing their training at Reed they will study the application of the account ing principles to such businesses as retailing, manufacturing, banking, in surance, transportation and invest ment. Each student will be required at the end of the years" work to take the suc cessive reports of any railroad for the last three years and from It derive such information as, what the actual profit of the road has been, whethar the equipment has been properly kept up: .whether the "safety first" cam paign is paying in a financial way, etc, etc. The railroad reports have been chosen for particular considera tion because they are more complete and more easily obtainable than the reports of other large corporations. The other new course In commercial methods will start with a general re view of the various methods of pro duction and distribution of goods in the United States. Analyses will be made of the trade in raw and finished products in such Industries as wheat, cotton, wool, meat, sugar, steel, ce ment, petroleum and lumber. A com parison is made between the methods employed and the causes which have produced particular methods in trade. Contrast to Stand Oat The wool industry will be contrasted with the cotton industry, for instance. The students will Investigate why the selling of cotton is so much more highly developed than wool; why fu tures in cotton are sold in the stock market, while wool Is generally dis posed of by private sale. The second semester will include a study of various methods of distribu tion in the wholesale and retail trades. Mr. Hastings himself will make a special study of the industries which are most prominent in Oregon and will make the department a clearing-house for information concerning the leading lines of business in the state. liS FLOGK HERE DI STING l" I SHED Bl'CKEYE CITIZENS VISIT PORTLAND. Arrangements Are Made to Entertain Governor Willis and His Party on Wednesday. "Ohioans are following the flag," said Robert Tucker yesterday when he began appointing committees to enter tain two prominent residents of that state who will visit Portland this week. "Tuesday we get ex-Governor Her rlck. "Wednesday we get Governor Willis, the present ?overnor. "It has not been a long time since we had Senator Burton. "Those old friends must all have im plicit faith in the saying that 'Ohio Is the mother of Presidents' because I hear all of them talked about as pos sible candidates, and my own belief is that they are in the West to find out where all their old Ohio majorities are located. "Anyway a man who is big enough to even get his name mentioned as a candidate for President, is big enough for us Ohio people to show off to our present neighbors and friends." Wednesday morning the Ohio society of Oregon will meet Governor Willis and party at the train, and will be hosts during the day. At noon a lunch eon will be given in the Chamber of Commerce, fifth floor, for the Ohio party and will be attended by 50 mem bers of the Ohio Society. The luncheon will be open to all members of the Chamber of Commerce and the public. Governor and Mrs. Willis, Adjutant- General B. W. Hough and Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Jones will make up the party of Ohioans. Mr. Jones is secretary of the State Tax Commission. The reception committee consists of Dr. I. N. Palmer, Robert Tucker, Orion P. Fisher and O. C. Bortzmeyer. Verdict of $3250 Against Mill. CENTRALIA, Wash., Sept. 25. (Spe cial.) The September term of the Lewis County Superior Court was brought to a close late Thursday when a Jury brought in a Judgment for $3250 In favor of A. B. Hughes In his suit against the Eastern Railway & Lum ber Company on an alleged breach of contract. Hughes asked $3253. It is expected that the mill company will appeal. The other cases scheduled for trial during this term were settled out of court Service WOMEN FAVOR DRILLS! POMONA GRANGE COMMITTEE SAYS SCHOOL OBJECTION IS SILLY. Vigorous Report Brings on Warm De lte Supporters and DlMnenters Are About Equal. The report of the women's work com mittee, read by Mrs. E. Palmer at the meeting of Pomona Grange, which con vened Wednesday with Lents Grange, strongly favored some form of military training in the public schools, not to promote a spirit of war, but for dis cipline and physical training. This re port called out one of the warmest dis cussions heard in the grange hall for some time, and. while the recommenda tion made by Mrs. Palmer was rejected by a tentative vote of 35 to 37, the question was left In an indefinite shape for future consideration. "One of the late things brought to our attention Is a proposition to give military training in our high schools," the report asserted, "and forthwith some of our sisters are up in arms in opposition, and, while not desiring to enter the fray, yet we can ill afford to sit on the fence in any of these controversies, where the weal and woe or women is at stake personally. We are not radical on this point, and, while lovers of peace, we can really see no 111 effects to be feared from the pre liminary training of our boys in the high schools. Certainly the exercise would be beneficial, adding grace to movements and a military bearing. wmcn is not Daa. "We have a precedent In our own Oregon Agricultural College which we are proud of. and somehow we can't see that the military spirit haa much to ao with it; but. should we ever be forced to war. which in the order of things may some time come, would it not be as well to be prepared in part as wholly to be at the mercy of our enemies? "It took war to establish our Hbertv It cost blood to maintain it. Somehow we never altogether took up with the sentiment.

Herrick. who is to be the guest of the Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, to remain over Wednesday, to be jointly entertained with Governor Willis, of Ohio, who is due at that time.
