T7 Grand Jury Holds Mrs. Dodge to Answer for Downfall of Her Daughter. Will Furnish Your Home on Liberal Terms TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, APRIL. 1916. 1 28 TRUE BILLS RETURNED Investigation of Failure to Pay Double to City Kmployes for Overtime Also Is 3Iadc Chi nese Gunman Is Held. A test of the eight-hour day labor law by the indictment of Robert G. Dieck, Commissioner of Public Works, and the holding: of a mother for the delinquency of her daughter were the features to be found in the final batch of 28 true and. five not-true bills re turned by the February-March grand jury of Multnomah County yesterday. Every grand jury for many months lias been confronted with the question of violation of the eight-hour law by city employes, and Commissioner Dieck himself suggested that his indictment for a test cast would be the quickest method of clearing up the matter. His indictment is on two counts the first for failure and refusal to pay double time for overtime performed on public work, and the- second for re quiring service of more than eight hours a day on public works. Girl's Mother Is Indicted. ' The specific Instance alleged is the employment of one Leonard D. P!os worth for nine hours on March 6, 1916, without payment for overtime. The eight-hour law, passed by the 1913 Leg islature, provided an eight-hour day for laborers on public works with double reward for overtime. Mrs. Anna Hodge, mother of 15-year-old Frances Hodge, whose confessions have implicated several men in im moral pursuits, was indicted for con tributing to the delinquency of the girl. This is the first case of its kind In the state, and opens a new line of con jecture as to the responsibility of par ents for the behavior of their offspring. Mrs. Hodge was held to answer to the grand jury by District Judge Jones, and must now face trial in the Circuit Court. Her "contributing" consisted in, according to the indictment, allowing her daughter to frequent public dance halls and to associate with immoral persons. For the lack of parental care and watchfulness, Mrs. Hodge is held to blame .for the downfall of her daugh ter. Man In Case Is Held to Trial. Will Fray, a driver of a. Belmont jit ney, was also indicted by the grand Jury for contributing to the delinquency of the Hodge girl, and also on a second count, on a serious statutory charge. Arthur Dunn, already indicted for contributing to the delinquency of Irene Hodges, another girl concerned in the recent vice Investigations, was yester day accused of an even more serious charge in a true bill returned. Assault with intent to kill is the cnarge on wmcn jlo oong, nignDinaer, was indicted. He is the Chinese tong man who was arrested for shooting and seriously injuring Chung Wah on Feb ruary 17. Dr. C. Howard Childs. already under one indictment for obtaining money by false prtenses, was indicted again yes terday under a slightly dissimilar statement of facts. vrson Charge Is Upneld. For burning her home at 188 Fast Fourteenth street for the insurance, Freda Leonard was Indicted. There were two true bills against her. The first charged burning with intent to defraud and the second, perjury. The perjury was committed before the grand jury, it is alleged. Mrs. Leon ard testified that among the articles burned were a velvet suit, hat, fur coat and other articles of clothing. These she is accused of having at the pres ent time, and her story of their de struction was Intentional perjury, it is held. Other indictments returned yesterday were: Frank Webber, Clyde Smith and Jack Mulcare, larceny, nine automobile tires being taken from Long & Silva; Walter Schaffer, larceny; Victor Cola . cone, arson, charged with burning the home of Maria Battaglia on Fast Third street, and 10 secret indictments. Of the secret indictments returned eight are for contributing to the le linauency of minors, one is for nnn- support and one is for perjury. The latter is in connection with swearing to a liquor affidavit. VETERANS IN MEMORIAL Grand Army Will Pay Tribute to Members Lost During Year.

" A" . . 1 THE enthusiasm that is being shown for the "Triple Alliance," the New York Symphony Orches tra, Walter Damrosch, conductor, and Joeef Hofmann, pianist, is in keeping with the magnitude of the event which is booked for the Heilig April 9 and 10 by Steers & Coman Walter Damrosch is not only the greatest conductor America has pro duced, but he is also the musical host, to whose invitation is due the pres ence in America of many foreign cele brities. A few of the many great stars who have been brought to these shores by Damrosch during his connection with the New York Symphony Orches tra in three decades are Li Hi Lohmann, Padercwaki, Karasate, Fritz Kreisler, Von Bulow, Rosenthal, Etelka Gerster, baint-fc-aens and Tschaikowsky. all of whom have made their initial appear ance with the New York Symphony Orchestra. V. .1. Henderson, music critic of the New York Sun, under date of January i, iyib. says: "Insofar as New York itself and its musical life are concerned, the most significant feature of yesterday's con cert was the playing of the orchestra. This orchestra is a permanent institu tion and its growth in technical polish ana in noDiiity or etyle is something of pregnant artistic value. The play ing of the Brahms symphony was one of extraordinary beauty in its depth, clarity and richness of tone, its ex quisitely wrought dynamics and its general elastcity. No other orchestra could surpass such a performance; only one or two could equal it. That Mr, Damrosch i working incessantly for balance and quality of tone, for deli cacy of touch in all details of phras ing and shading and for a style in which lyric beauty shall bo the pre dominating element must be plain to habitual attendants upon these con certs. That he is surely bringing his excellent human instrument to a high state of finish is certain." Two concerts are booked for Port land: A Sunday matinee, April 9, on wmcn occasion the orchestra will give a programme of unusual interest showing the wonderful ensemble work of these 80 men, as well as their in dividual talent on their respective in struments. and an evening performance Monday, the 30th, in which Josef Hof mann, "the foremost- pianist of the day," will be heard for the first and only time in concerto with orchestra.

This Information was received here in a telegram from "Washington, D. C, to C. W. Fulton, attorney for the people of Astoria in the origi nal Astoria rate case. Mr. Fulton, only a few days ago, forwarded an urgent protest to the Commission against extending tho effective date of the original order. How long this will prolong the As toria rate agitation cannot now be de termined. It will be at least six months. It may be several years. The carriers propose to wage a vigorous legal battle' before the Commission to secure a rehearing. They expect to exhause their every resource, it is un derstood, to prevent Astoria from gain ing terminal rates. If the rehearing is denied they doubtless will take their contest to the courts. There it may be prolonged for several years. If the rehearing is granted it will mean that the whole case will have to be tried over again. That will mean that the Commission will send an ex aminer here to take testimony, follow ing which it may be a year or two years before a decision can be rendered. It was fully 18 months from the time the testimony in the original case was taken until tud commission's order was handed down. Traffic officials and shippers yester day could see nothing short of a two year struggle before the historic case finally is disposed of. Informal advice of the Commission's decision to rehear also was received yesterday by traffic officials of the O.-W. R. & N. Company and the North Bank road, the principal interested carriers with headquarters in Portland. They are waiting now for formal notice and for a copy of the Commission's order in granting the rehearing. The decision of the Commission was based on the recent applica tkm of the carriers for a rehearing, which application was filed with- the Commission a few. weeks ago. All the railroads are represented, jointly, in this application. ASSAULT DEFENSE UNIQUE Man Declares He Held Out Hammer and Plaintiff Ran Against It.
