"GENERAL JONES" RETURNS Once Heralded Campaigner for Bal lot Sow to Get Bachelor's De gree at Law School. OREGOMAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash lngton, Way 31. Look out for the i women. Their ascendency Is noted not only in the growth of the suffrage movement, but in the success with 11 which they are winning their way into ' ; the learned professions. " Some evidence of this will be given - at the commencement exercises of ,"; Washington College of Law In this ' city June 10, when a woman from the i northwest, Miss Pearl McCall, of Sand ' ' point, Idaho, will receive her master's degree. Miss McCall received the bachelor's degree two or three years i ago. She has been for several years ' one of the competent clerks In Senator Borah's office, but was formerly an Idaho school teacher, i- 1 But, look who's here. General Rosalie Jones! Does any one remember the ! . name? Of course. General Jones for weeks back in 1913 held the first page in all the newspapers of the country. In fact, the newspapers hardly knew '; how to go to press without something right on outside and at the top of ' " the column about General Jones. I : It was in 1913 that General Rosalie ; Jones, Coxey-like, led an army of ' women to Albany, New York, laying i siege to the legislature for several J , days in the interest of votes for women. That battle was lost, but General Jones faced her civilian army about and i marched it by slow stages to Washing i ton, arriving here one day in mld-sum-'i mer, when the congress of the United States was made to feel her presence. ; ' Since then nothing has been heard ' tfntll now of General Jones, who comes ' of one of the oldest and most well-to-, do of New York families. The first ; trace of her since the days of that ' memorable march comes in the pro ; gramme of the commencement exer- cises at Washington College of Law on June 10, where, among the candi dates for a bachelor's degree, we read, .' with nothing to mark Its distinction In history, this name, "Rosalie Gardner Jones." General Jones is now known as Miss Jones and for some time reforms have been receiving but a small part of her attention. She expects to embark upon a professional career as soon as she has her degree properly adjusted. Leo P. Snyder, battery A, 311th field artillery, of Hailey, Idaho, hurried home from France by General Persh ing upon the request of Senator Borah, in order that he might see his father alive, arrived in New York this week, just one week too late. His father, Peter Snyder, was operated upon In a Portland, Or., hospital some time ago and was taken to his home at Hailey with an apparent chance to recover. A relapse came, however, and he -died without satisfying one of his last wishes, which was to have one look upon the face of his soldier boy. Representative Addison T. Smith has Introduced bills in the house to donate captured German cannon to the cities of Boise, Pocatello, Twin Falls, Idaho Falls, Blackfoot, St. Anthony, Mont pelier, Hailey, Buhl, Burley, Filer, Jerome, Rexburg, Preston, Mountain Home.

ANKENY ESTATE TAX PAID ITolffeings, Exclusive of Realty In Oreson, Valued Over Million. OLYMPIA, Wash., May 31. (Special.) The state tax commission today re ceived a check from Levi Ankeny for 123,304 as inheritance tax payment on the estate of Mrs. Levi Ankeny of Walla Walla, who died September 29. 1918. The tax is collected on half the com munity estate, wnich Is appraised at a net value of II, 212,177, exclusive of the Ankeny realty holdings in Oregon. Personal property in the latter state is included, among these items being 710 share3 of stock in the First Na tional bank of Pendleton, valued at $191,700. Mrs. Ankeny left S100 each to four children, and the balance of her half of the community estate to her hus band. By this arrangement the tax now paid on this share will have to be paid again when the entire estate is assessed on its descent to the chil dren. Under the income tax law ef fective prior to adoption of the gradu ated system in 1917, the tax payment would have amounted to 15,961 instead of nearly four times that amount. EUGENE PASTOR RETURNS Kev. W. M. Case Resumes Work After Serving Overseas. EUGENE, Or- May SO. (Special.) Kev. William Moll Case, pastor of Cen tral Presbyterian church of this city. after a. year's absence on TT. M. C. A. duty in France, arrived home last night and will resumo his duties here as imt-tor. Kev. Mr. I'ase was one of the most popular V. M. C A- men in the war y.ono, say members of the 6oth artillery regiment of this city, and if the V vorUers were all like him, the reputa tion of that organization would now be different, they declare. Mrs. Case has had charge of the work of the church during the pastor's absence, ministers from different parts of the state having: filled the pulpit throughout the year. During that time very department of the church has l'fen very active and many members have been added, a tribute to Airs. I'ase's ability as a managing pastor. Mrs. Case went to Portland the (irst cf the week to meet her husband and accompanied him home last nighu FIRE IS SPECTACULAR ONE (Continued From First Page.) company is owned by Mr. Schwerdt maun, J. P. Coffey and G. V. James. The mill had closed down to repair the boilers yesterday. Only eight em ployes were on the premises when the fire started. Mr. Schwerdtmann saic he Vft the factory only a few minutes before the fire broke out. He says lie saw no sign of the blaze. The company's sawmill is further down the river, .and most of its lum ber stock is in three other yards in the neighborhood. Its chief loss con sists of the box factory, several small buildings connected with the plant ana a small quantity of lumber. Mr. Schwerdtmann says that only a few men will lose their employment tempo rarily on account of the fire. The Portland Shingle company is a corporation with ten stockholders. E. Mongrain is the president. The com pany bought the mill a month ago from T. W. Nordby, of the Couch building. The mill was built six years ago to re place another, which burned down. The shingle company's plant also bad shut down for the day, and only three em ployes were on the premises. The com pany employs 25 men. The Jones Lumber company plant is just northwest of the box factory, where the flames started. If the wind had been down the river instead of jp, the Jones plant probably would have been burned. The fire lines were about half a mile long. One horse burned to death in the box company's stables. He had just been turned loose and had trotted to his stall when the fire started. The fire burned a houseboat' owned by Patrolman Rippen and Joel Coe. and destroyed several wagons owned by the Fulton Fuel company. The Portland Railway, Light & Power company and the Southern Pacific railroad suffered some loss. WAVEHLY BABIES IMPROVE ELEVEN LITTLE SUFFERERS RE PORTED TO BE RECOVERING. Dr. K. T. Meyer of California Will Attempt to Learn Source of In fectionSerum Is Awaited. Attendants at the Waverly baby home were much encouraged yesterday and last night by the steady improve ment of the 11 tots who are suffering with dysentery, the malady that al ready has resulted In 14 deaths in the last three weeks. No new cases had been discovered and two of the babies who had been critically ill were re ported much better. People of Portland and vicinity who had brandy in their homes were prompt in responding to the call of physicians, and a large number of offers were re ceived last week. As a small bottle of the stimulant was sufficient for the treatment of a large number of pa tients, the home did not avail Itself of all offers, but has a list of those who may be called upon in an emergency. Among those who placed such medi cine at the disposal of physicians was Rev. A. H. Thompson, pastor of the First Methodist church in Vancouver. Rev. Thompson had kept a small quan tity in his home for a number of years and upon learning of the need at the Waverly home placed it at the disposal of those in charge. Dr. K. F. Meyer, bacteriologist of the University of California, arrived in the city yesterday and following an inves tigation at the home said conditions were not as serious as had been noted in other institutions where similar epi demics were prevalent. He is awaiting arrival of anti-dysentery serum from the Rockefeller institute and expect by tomorrow to know the source of the infection. Dr. Meyer denies the current reports that the dysentery is an aftermath of Spanish influenza. He will co-operate with Drs. Sears, Menne and Vincent of the University of Oregon medical school and with the city health bureau in bringing the epidemic to an end.

"WASHINGTON, May 31. Unexpected opposition to repeal of the luxury tax section of the war revenue bill devel oped today in the house, and sponsors of several other proposed repeals forced postponement of final action until next week. Its supDorters, however, said adoption was certain. Representative Cannon, republican, of Illinois, and Thomas of Kentucky and Sims of Tennessee, democrats, led the attack against the repeal, which was unanimously proposed by the ways and means committee. Chairman Fordney, republican, and Representative Kltchin of North Carolina, ranking democrat of the committee, urged repeal. Opponents, however, of the repeal at tacked the proposal, declaring: that it would only remove costly articles. In cluding wearing apparel, from taxa tion, which could be borne without financial injury to consumers. Advo cates of the repeal declared the tax was levied in time of war to discourage expensive purchases and prevent their manufacture, but admitted that the loss of $85,000,000 revenue would be keenly felt by the treasury. Farm Leglalatloa PRMed. Passage of legislation to carry out Secretary Lane's project for farms for soldiers was urged before the house public lands committee today by Henry Sterling, legislative representative of the American Federation of Labor. "There is absolutely no division among the 3.600.000 members of the American Federation of Labor as to the desire for this legislation," said Mr. Sterling. Representative Timberlake. repub lican, of Colorado, told the committee "sentiment generally in Colorado favors the legislation," adding that the state! legislature had granted money to be used in co-operating with the govern ment In the development of land settle ments. . Army Estimate Submitted. Estimates sent to congress by the war department provide for maintain ing 600,000 men In France and Germany in July. 400,000 in August and 200,000 in September. Major McKay of the army bureau of finance told the house military committee today that should an army of occupation be needed after October 1, congress would be asked for additional funds. Army Station Considered. Renewal of the recommendation to congress that the old army stations and posts In the south and west, most of them relics of pioneer days, be aban doned Is understood to be planned by the war department. The department would utilize some for hospital or other government purposes and sell the re mainder. Army officials say maintenance of these poets not only has been dispro portionately expensive, but has weak ened the effort to organize an effi cient army by scattering the various elements throughout the country.
