"The allied flag of freedom" has Just
been Issued by the Oregon Flag Com

Is novel In design and presents a pleas

and educational features. It was de
signed by P. Chappell Browne, an ar
chitect with offices in the Mohawk

In its announced programme of vin
dication, tbe Juvenile Court yesterday
produced before Circuit Judge Camp
bell, of Oregon City, a multitude of
witnessea who gave testimony tending
to show that Mrs. Alvlna Johnson is
not financially competent to care for
her rour children. Except for the
neighborhood gossip as related from
the witness chair by several of the
witnesses nothing was brought out to
show that either Mrs. Johnson or any
of her children are delinquent Insofar
as their character or morals are con
cerned. The habeas corpus bearing-, in which
Mrs. Johnson is seeking to regain the
custody of her 15-year-old daughter,
Mabel, from the Frazer Detention
Home, where she was placed by
Juvenile Judge Tazwell, was resumed
yesterday and continued throughout the
dsy. When court adjourned late yes
terday afternoon Judge Campbell an
nounced that the hearing would be
concluded next Thursday morning.
j. G. Arnold, special counsel for Judge '
Tazwell. said he had many otner wit
nesses to produce before the case is
brought to a close.
You can bring- the whole city of
Portland In if you like," commented
Judge Campbell. "We will hear what
tbey all have to say."
Attorney and Judge In Tilt.
Bitterness cropped out to an extreme
degree during tbe cross-examination of
Judge Tazwell by John Ditchburn.
counsel for Mrs. Johnson. At one time
during his examination Judge Tazwell
repeated several times that Mrs. John
son was a "fine actress."
'She,, certainly missed her calling
when she did not take up stage work,"
he said with some heat.
And you missed your calling when
you didn t become a hodcarrier," re
torted Ditchburn, while the courtroom
laughed and Judge Campbell rapped
for order.
Much of the testimony produced went
to show that Mabel Johnson, about
whom the entire proceedings revolve,
s an unusually well-behaved child, al
though-not aa bright as her younger
sister, Gladys. Ida M. Manley, super
visor of a special school for backward
children, testified that the two. girls'
conduct was irreproachable in school
and that they always displayed consid
erable interest in their work.
"Test, however, revealed that Mabel,
although 14 years old, possessed mental
development of a child of 8," added
Miss Manley.
Woman Tardy In Payments.
N". H. Troosa and John Swift, grro-
cerymen of the 'Woodstock district, de
clared that Mrs. Johnson was often
guilty of marked reluctance and tardi
ness in meeting her obligations. They
said they had to look to the widows'
pension department of the Juvenile
Court, from whom Mrs. Johnson was
Deceiving 132.60 a month, for payment
of their last accounts. Mr. Troose as
serted that he had once found that
Mrs. Johnson was getting provisions
from his store on another customer's
account by asking the children of this
customer to buy things in their father's
name and transfer them to her.
Attorney Ditchburn contradicted a
pant of Mr. Troose s testimony with
the statement that Gladys and
youthful daughter of this other cus
tomer's had on one occasion clouded
their mother's reputation for fair deal
ing by spending foolishly money which
had been entrusted to them for the
purpose of paying the grocer.
Mrs. C. A. Bonnay said that Mrs.
Johnson did not appear to exercise the
proper supervision oven Gladys, and
that the daughter, after the mother
had gone to work late In the after
noon, received visits from a young
soldier.
