30 After 30
Hours Deliberation.
Fourteen students, leaders at Reed
college, were "exiled" from the Reed
campus yesterday morning;. The action
followed a raid on freshman rooms a
week iro which caused considerable
damage to the furniture through the
Insidious agency of Oregon's "liquid
immnliEhL" The unDerclassmen who
' participated in the raid were tried be
fore the student council and five mem
bcrs of that body who were ring
leaders of the affair took turns con
victing- each other, it is stated.
The Incident causing all of the
trouble, at the time of its perpetra
tion seemed harmless and would have
been had it not rained. The furniture
from the freshmen rooms was hauled
out on the campus and set up on the
green, making- it In all ai. amusing
Might. The rain which followed, however,
caused considerable damage and so It
was decided by the student council
to punish those responsible for the
affair. The rule adopted two years
ago by the council was put into effect
and the order for a 30 days" suspension
of the leaders In the practical Joke,
followed. The students began the
period of disciplinary exile yesterday
morning.
A meeting was held Saturday by the
student body at which it was decided
by the studente to enter an appeal to
the council in behalf of the suspended
classmen.
Saturday morning the 14 students left
the campus in a body. Five of the
number were from House H and the
members of that building hoisted a
mock service flag bearing five stars.
Although the rules of the council in
this case seem severe, members of the
college faculty stated last evening that
the laws were adopted two years ago
by the students themselves and it was
agreed at that time to abide by them.
The council deliberated for nearly
20 hours before it obtained the vote
to carry out the punishment to the
letter of the law.

NEW YORK. March 15. Federal
court action today In cases on eight
followers of the lute "Pastor" Russell,
who during the war were each sen
tenced to 20 years in prison for violat
ing the espionage law, disclosed that
their legal fight for clemency has the
support of United States Judge Harland
B. Howe of Vermont, who presided at
their trial in Brooklyn last year.
Judge Howe wrote to the attorney-
general urging the sentences be com
muted. As the loiivictiona were ob
tained during tho war Judge Howe
made the sentences severe, he ex
plained, as a lesson to others, but now
he was of the opinion consideration

Through the alleged manipulation of
half a dozen subsidiary corporations
and the creation of pretended obliga
tions in favor of relatives. Hy J. Eilers
is accused o( attempting; to defrauc
creditors in a. suit filed in the circuit
court yesterday, seeking to have a
receiver appointed for the Oregon
Eilers Music House and demanding an
accounting.
The action Is filed by Ernest W.
Hardy, trustee in bankruptcy of Eilers
Music House, against the Oregon Eilers
Music House. The latter waa the lat
est to be organized and a large part
of its assets belong to the former
company, which went into bankruptcy
in 1918. The plaintiff asserts that as
trustee he is in possession of 147,500
worth of stock in the Oregon Eilers
Music House and fears its value is
being dissipated through alleged action
of Eilers, who is said to control $150.
000 or the remaining $200,000 worth
of stock.
The suit alleges that in transactions
by the Oregon Eilers Music House in
February, 1818, funds of the Eilers
Music House were taken and converted
by the officers in sundry amounts to
a brother, father, sisters and aunt oi
Mr. Eilers. The officers are Hy Eilers,

favor of relatives and his private sec
retary in large amounts, which were
carried on the books of the company
as "bills payable," all "for the purpose
of hindering, delaying and derrauaing
creditors." The "bills payable" ac
count approximates $45,000, says Hardy,
who declares he does not know what
part of it Is true and what is false.
He alleges the fact to be that the prop
erty of the Oregon Eilers Music House
at a fair valuation will not be more
than sufficient to pay all its deDts,
and that if the present state of af
fairs continues there will be nothing
for the stockholders. '
Assets of the concern are said to be
in "Imminent danger of waste, dissipa
tion and destruction."
The receiver is asked that all the
property of the defendants be adjudged
the property of the Eilers Music
House, and it is requested further that
ail property of Eilers and his family
be investigated and ownership aeier-
mined. and if discovered to be prop

"With the Help of God
and a Few Marines"
BY BRIGADIER-GENERAL A, W. CATLIN
Commanding Sixth Regiment Marines at Belleau Wood
The first detailed and authoritative account of the dramatic and daring deeds the
famous Marines have done. '
The real story of the great fight at Chateau Thierry, when the U. S. Marines with
American Infantry brought about the turning point in the war.
Beginning in The Sunday Oregonian, March 23
A Feature that every American will follow with pride
Brigadier-General A. W. Catlin:
"Waking or sleeping;, I can still see- before me the
dark threat of Belleau Wood, as full of menace as a
tiger's foot, dangerous as live wire; poisonous with
gas, bristling with machine guns, alive with snipers,
scornfully beckoning us to come on arid be slain
waiting for us like a dragon in its den.
"Our brains told us to fear it; our wills heard but
one command to clean it out! I can still see before
my very eyes those waves in that poppy-spattered
wheat field as the steady lines of our marines went in."
General Catlin is a marine of marines. He was first
officer on the battleship Maine when she was sunk in
Havana harbor and it was he who commanded the
marines in their attack on Vera Cruz in 1914. He led
the marines in their heroic attack at Belleau Wood.
Secretary Daniels:
"With only 8000 men engaged in the fiercest battle
of the world war, the marine corps casualties numbered
69 officers and 1531 enlisted men dead, and 78 officers
and 2435 enlisted men wounded seriously enough to
be officially reported by cablegram. With a casualty
list that numbers nearly half the original 8000 men who
entered battle, the official reports account for ONLY 57
UNITED STATES MARINES WHO HAVE BEEN
CAPTURED BY THE ENEMY. This includes those
who were wounded far in advance of their lines and
who fell into the hands of the Germans while unable
to resist."
These are the men about whom their general writes
with an understanding and intimacy possible only to
the man who lived with them, led them in battle and
continued to direct their advance while lying on the
battlefield with' a bullet wound through his lung.

For Constipation! Physic
Purge or Laxative?
