t t THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX. PORTLAND, NOVE3IBER 25, 1917. 17 .ELMON GENESTE 15 READY TO SETTLE Vlrs. Emma Lorentzen Will Get Estate of $1075 Now Held - by Administrator. HEARING CALLED MONDAY Judge TazweU Has Jfote In His Pos session and Indications Point to Satisfactory Settlement 'With out Extended Litigation. In the County Court tomorrow morn ing Judge TazweU is expected to straighten out the financial difficulties of Mm. Emma Lorentzen, a Norwegian woman declared legally dead more than a year ago, who has just reappeared to claim her estate of $1075, which has been in the hands of Elmon Geneste, an attorney, who was appointed adminis trator of her estate by ex-Judge Clee ton last November. That the final adjustment will be made was indicated yesterday, when Mr. Geneste announced his readiness to turn over the J1075 belonging: to the woman to the County Court or to a guardian which the court might appoint for her. He said he stood ready to make this adjustment any time the court might make such a decree. Note Alleged Secured. Tn direct refutation of the statement given Friday night by Mrs. Lorentzen, Geneste declared that the promissory note for (1075, which, lie had given to Mrs. Lorentzen November 13 last, when she first made her whereabouts known, was secured by a mortgage on his office furniture and automobile. He said he had a duplicate copy of this mortgage In his office, which he would produce If demanded. Mrs. Lorentzen denies that he gave her any such, mortgage. Mrs. Lorentzen was in court all yes terday morning waiting for some action which would result in her securing her money. All efforts to get into com munication with Mr. Geneste by court attaches, however, were futile, as he did not reach his office until nearly noon. Judge TazweU said the hearing would be postponed until Monday morning. Mrs. Lorentzen yesterday turned over to Judge TazweU the promissory note which Geneste had given to her. Ar rangements were made whereby Mrs. Lorentzen will keep In constant touch with certain of her friends in order that she might be called into court any time she might be needed. Mr, McMenamin JVot Present. It was brought out yesterday that Mr. McMenamin, law partner of ex Judge Cleeton, was not the man who was in the otllce of Mr. Geneste the night of November 13, when the latter gave Mrs. Lorentzen the promissory note. Mrs. Lorentzen yesterday failed to Identify Mr. McMenamin as the man who was present. Mr. Geneste said yesterday that his stenographer was present at that time, but did not give the name of the other man there. Mr. McMenamin said he drew up the petition to have ail records in the Lorentzen estate case purged from the files of the court at the request of his partner, Mr. Cleeton. He said yes terday was the first time he ever saw the woman. Some woman, ha said, came to his office and secured the pett- , tlon alter he had completed drawing it up. Acknowledgment to the peti tion was taken by a notary public with an office on the same floor with Mr. Geneste In another office building. After this statement had been made by Mr. McMenamin, Mr. Geneste later admitted that he had secured this peti tion and had taken It to his office, where he had Mrs. Lorentzen sign It. The acknowledgment, he said, was taken by a Miss McEvojr, a notary public. He denied there was any man in the room when he gave Mrs. Lorent ten his promissory note. invented the steps you will see; Frank Coombs, as the Ghost of Verdi; Ball!

"Watch Tour Step" is a dancing show, as its title implies. The story begins in a lawyer's office, where dancing is found to be the feature of the day's work and participated In freely by all of the people belonging thereto and the visitors within their gates. The stenographers dance with their fingers and their toes, the clients and the law yers of the firm dance a bit before and after taking evidence or reading a will. After getting used to the idea it seems perfectly all right to have everything going around and trotting across, and the songs and arguments, promenades and poses all lead up to or Immediately follow a moment's "hesitation" or one-step to the left or to the right. "Watch Your Step" overflows with ragtime songs and dances which last season scored what was undeniably one of the biggest successes of all the new musical productions. Last year It was played in only a few cities outside of New York, there fore the fact that it is to be seen in this city is probably one of the most important theatrical announcements that will be made by the local manage ment thin year.

A war emergency council to handle n an advisory capacity various wa emergencies confronting the city of Portland is to be named by Mayor quiver. e made public yesterday Plan which- will be put into operation -ine council will have representa. uvea irom all organizations, social, commercial, educational, industrial and religious, who will advise on methods oi meeting problems now existing and -v- i airise auring me war. The pur pose will be to eliminate the duplica nun, anierences or operation and con iiicia now existing by reason of the Individual organizations each moving In their own independent manner in tne handling of problems. In creat is me council me Mayor nas the co operation of leaders along all lines of activity. Clrarlng-IIoose Established. The object of the organization will be to act aa a local, central body to co-ordinate all war efforts; to do the work of a clearing-house for the war problem activities of the city; to pre vent duplication and reduplication o efforts and solicitations for funds; to carry out a constructive programme by delegating organizations already es tablished or to be established, activi ties not already covered; to assist by general conference all organizations of the city In order that no effort be overlooked nor any preventable over lapping of effort be followed; to co operate In every way with the gtate Board or Defense. In making public the plan, Mayor Baker issued the following statement Probemsj Develop) Suddenly. 'War conditions have developed many serious and vital problems per tainlng to the health, strength and morals of the community. These prob lems are new tn the sense that .they have developed suddenly under ab normal conditions into issues in which much is involved and in which the pub lie has a vast interest. They must be met promptly and in a constructive manner. "Various organizations, including clubs, churches and individuals, have taken notice of these conditions either collectively or Individually and have entered the field. They have gone far enough to indicate that there is much difference In procedure, much opera tion at cross purposes and much con fllct in ideas on proper methods to meet or combat the issues. Enerary Is Wasted. "In our attempts to handle the con ditions from a police and health stand point, as well as from a sound business standpoint, the administration has come face to face with these conflicts, and we have reached the conclusion that much valuable energy is being wasted, We realize also that the problems are of a magnitude that require collective thought and administration rather than Individual action, and that con centration of activities will accomplish satisfactory and permanent results quicker than is possible with the prea ent system of separate activity by the individual organizations. It is for this purpose that I am es. tablishing an advisory board to be known as the Portland War Emergency Council. This body is to include rep resenatlon from all organisations, so cial, commercial, educational, indus trial, health, police and religious, and will act purely in an advisory capacity to encourage policies and activities that will do the most good. Plan Is Advisory. "It is not the purpose of this organ ization to displace any of the bodies now in the field engaged in work of correction along any line, but merely to advise with them on the best meth ods of operation so as to eliminate duplication. The collective ideas of a group of 25 or 30 of the city's leading minds will, I believe, be of great value In the campaigns which must be made and which must be made properly. Mo organization now working need stop ny of its activities unless it be for the purpose of better meeting the situation, this to be determined by the emergency council as constituted. It is to be the purpose of this cen tral organization to co-operate to the fullest extent with all National or local agencies, whether they be social or ad ministrative, and to be privileged, in turn, to co-operation from these agen cies. 'I will endeavor to select represen tative men and women in the various lines which either are in the work now or which should and must be interested." Many Bodies Represented. The membership which will be named soon will include representation from such organizations as the following:. Fosdlck Commission, War Council, Grade Teachers' Association, Catholic Women's League, Chamber of Commerce, Retail Mer chants' Association, Salvation Army, Port- nd Realty Board, Charity Commission Chamber of Commerce.

(Special) Prepara tions are now under way for the com memoration at Thanksgiving time of the 70th anniversary of the Whitman massacre. On Wednesday evening a historical meeting will be held at which Professor Lyman, bead of the depart ment of history at Whitman College, will speak on the events of the time of the massacre. All survivor of the Appendicitis in primarily due to the poi sons formed by decaying food In thin bowels. It Is a disease caused by improper and In sufficient bowel elimination. Many peo ple have only a small passage in the cen ter of the bowels while the sides are clotted with old, stale, fermenting- matter. Thsy may have a bowel movement every day but It Is not a complete movement, and the old stale matter stays in the system to ferment and cause trouble. Besides appen dicitis such unclean bowels cause head aches, stomach trouble and 90 per cent of all other sickness. The old foul matter stick ing; to the sides of the bowels often stays in for months, poisoning the body and caus ing; that listless, tired feeling known as "auto intoxication." HOW TO AVOin TROUBLE. The way to avoid sickness and to keep feeling- full of ambition is to watch your bowels. Just as you keep the outslda of your body clean, you should also KEEP THE INSIDE CLEAN. It is even more Important to keep the bowels clean than it is to keep your body washed, because the millions of pores in the 30 feet of bowels quickly ab sorb poisons generated by decaying- food left carelessly in the bowels. Don't allow the old, fermenting, filthy stuff to stay In your bowels for weeks, but GET" IT OUT and keen It out. Remember, filthy bowels are the. causa of most sickness no stomach, llvsr or aay other orjsn can do Its work with a foul resspoel sending- ent gases and poisons. iSven if your bowels move slightly each day. that is not enough. There must bo an occasional THOROUOH, complete clesnalng to rid your system of all accumu lated, decaying matter. HOW TO CLEAN BOWELS QCICK. The MOST COMPLETE bowel cleanser known is a mixture of buckthorn bark, glycerine and ten other ingredients, put up In ready prepared form under the trade name of Adler-i-ka. This mixture Is so powerful a bowel cleanser that it ALWAYS does its work properly and thoroughly. It removes foul and poisonous matter which other eartharvic or laxative mixtures are unable to dislodge. It does a COMPLETE job and it works QUICKLY and without the least discomfort or trouble. It is so gentle that one forgets he has taken it until the THOROUGH evacuation starts. It Is as tonishing the great amount of foul, poisonous matter a SINGLE SPOONFUL of Adler-i-ka draws from the alimentary canal matter ou would never have thought was In your system. Try it right after a natural bowel movement and notice how much MORE foul matter will be brought out which was poi soning your system. In slight disorders such as occasional constipation, sour stomach, "gas on the stomach" or sick headache, one spoonful brings relief almost INSTANTLY. Adler-i-ka is the MOPT THOROUOH bowel cleanser and antlseptlclzer ever offered in ready prepared form. It Is a constant sur prise to people who have used only ordinary Dowel ana stomscn meaicinen various oi'.s and waters. REPORTS FROM PjrYSICIANR. Dr. James Weaver, Lea.
