Mr. Bonney ex presses amazement at the threat certain persons to bring suit to re apportion the county school funds. He declares the present apportion ment is correct and cannot be remade under a law that has been repealed. Mr. Bonney declares that even were the apportionment to be remade. Warn ic and Friend would not benefit because they are not rated as stan dard high schools. "The county court put me where I had to fight or be strangled," said Bonney. I have no personal animosi ty toward anv member of the court. The future happiness and welfare of 4000 boys and girls ought not to be placed in jeopardy to gratify the hatred and personal spite of a county judge and his two commissioners." i I CITY WIVES IGNORE AGE Husband Asks That Order Be Set Aside on Legal Grounds While Wife Makes New Demands. ORKCJON CITY, Or., Nov. 29. (Spe cial. Developments in the Hawley divorce case followed each other in quick succession today. Wlllard P. Hawley Jr., the defendant, filing a motion to annul Judge Campbell's or dr directing him to pay into court $500 suit money, $7500 attorney fees and $1000 temporary alimony. He con tends that the order of the court is in effect taking his property from him without due process of law and that the court had no jurisdiction, as no summons had been served upon him prior to the issuance of the order. The defense also filed a motion to make the complaint more definite and certain and asking that the plaintiff be required to give the dates of the alleged mistreatment complained of iind to pive the names of the plain tiff's "hired help" in the presence of whom the alleged acts of the defend ant occurred. In-laww Insult, Says Wife. Later in the day Mrs. Willard Haw ley Jr. filed an affidavit alleging that hor husband's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Willard 1. Hawley Sr., have contin uously resided at her home since the original suit was filed; that their con duct has been obnoxious and insult ing; that her husband has said that her ba-by would be taken from her, :ind she has asked for an order enjoin ing her husband's parents from com inff upon the premises. Mrs. Hawley Jr. also presented an affidavit charging her husband with ha ving served notice on various per sons that he would not be responsible for her purchases; that he has stated he would keep the case in court for three years; that his father has as verted he would spend his last nickel in fighting the case; that Mr. Hawley Sr. is worth about $1,500,000 and u assisting his son in fighting her suit that her husband receives a salary of $1000 a month from the Hawley Pulp t l'aper company-and that his income is around $50,000 a year. More Money Asked for. Sho asks for an additional $500 month as temporary alimony, for an additional $500 as suit money and an additional $2500 for attorney fee. In the original order Mr. Hawley Jr., Is restrained from disposing -of his stock in the Hawley Pulp & Paper company, and application is also made to set this order aside. The several motions will be argued before a judge of the circuit court here, sitting in place of Judge J. U. Campbell, who will step aside upon an affidavit of prejudice filed by Mr. Hawley several days ago. Grank B. Dimick and Grif fith, L.eiter & Allen appear for Mr. Hawley, whose wife is represented by C. Schuebel. T TO SPEND $2,11, EX-SERVICE MEN" TO GET EDU CATIONAL BENEFITS. H. "VV. Stone, Portland Secretary, Returns From International Convention at Detroit. Two million dollars will be ex pended throughout the Ijnited btates by the Young Men's Christian asso ciation for soldier scholarships, in an effort to extend educational benefits to ex-service men. Oregon and Ida ho, as well as California and Wash ington, will receive their due propor tion of the funds, which have Deen appropriated out of war work fi nances, according to the announce ment of H. W. Stone, general secre tary of the Portland T. M. C. A., who reached home yesterday. Americanization will be a feature of the association's educational work from now on. said Mr. Stone, and prompt action is to be taken to es tabliBh centers throughout the ooun trv. from which the work shall be di rected. Work in Oregon and Idaho is to start January 1. Portland delegates played a big part in the international convention of the association, just closed at De troit, and at which 5000 were present. At the meeting of physical direc tors, following the convention, A. M Griliey, executive secretary of the Portland association and for many years its physical chief, was credited with advancing many of the best ideas. Mr. Stone credited the .crime wave to the fact that "we have swung from the extreme altruistic to radical sel fishness since the war." "I note that Portland Is having a crime wave," he, said. "It is thus everywhere. People have gotten self ish and are thinking of their own. in terests too much, instead of following the altruistic spirit of the war days, when nearly every one was bent on helping some one else. We must get back to normaj." Canvass Made of Represent ative Portland District. 'WE'RE TOO BUSY," REPLY Several Housewives Show More Interest In Restoring Capital Punishment In Oregon. (Continued From First Page, f FIVE TO PROBE DEFICIT MAYOR NAMES COMMITTEE TO REPORT ON AUDITORIUM. DEMAND SENT TO NITTI ITALIAN SOCIALISTS W A X T KtSS PRISONERS RELEASED. Soldier Interned on Island; Coer cion to Induce Them to Eight Bolshcviki Is Charged. IIOMK, Xov. 29. (By the Asso ciated Press. ) The directorate of the socialist party today wrote Pre mier Nittl demanding that Russian prisoners taken over by Italy from Austria-Hungary be released uncon ditionally. The socialists say they will under take to provide work by which the Russians may support themselves if they desire to remain in Italy. They also demand that the government negotiate with the existing Russian fcovornments for the repatriation of the prisoners. The Russians are interned on the Island of Asinara, off the coast of Sardinia. The socialists claim that the Russians are being1 unjustly treated, Italy not being at war with Russia. It is pointed out besides that these Russians fought with the en tone against the central powers. The letter accuses the government of co-operating with, tne "Cza.rist dictators," Kolchak and Denikine, by permitting the Russian military mis sion in Italy to conduct propaganda among the prisoners for the object of inducing them to enlist in the Kol chak and Denikine armies. The propagandists are charged with using inhuman means to coerce the prisoners. Bondsmen Assert War Prices and Changes in Plans Caused Increase In Price. Mayor Baker yesterday appointed a committee composed of Jv B. Mc N'aughton, William F. Woodward, Franklin T. Griffith. Otto Hartwig and Marshall N. Dana to determine whether the city is under a moral ob ligation to pay the contractor and his bondsmen about $70,000 claimed as a deficit in the cost of construct ing the auditorium more than two years ago. The bondsmen for Hans Pederson. the contractor, as well as contractors and sub-contractors who have not yet been paid- for materials furnished for the construction of the building, have petitioned the city council asking that the deficit be paid by the city. It is explained in this petition that the deficit was caused by abnormal conditions caused by the war which were unforeseen when the contract was accepted from the city, and also by the additional cost resulting from changes demanded in the construction of the building by city officials. , eign families several property own ers descended from pioneers, a civil war veteran and a number of newly- married couples. Among these fami lies there dwell several large manu facturers and men ' who have held public offices. 53 Housewives Consulted. Before darkness set in 59 houses had been visited. Of these 11 house wives were not at home, but this was balanced by finding more than one woman at various places, so that the final count showed that 53 had actually been consulted. Every one of these women, with one exception, said the question had never been given any previous thought, yet 11 said they had always been strongly in favor of anything for the good of women suffrage. One of these said she had been too busy to keep up on recent developments and her only inkling of anything un usual in this line was through seeing a picture of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt in the paper and learning that she had visited the city. A large number admitted they had voted at various . times when they first received the franchise, but only 14 are continuing to do so. Fifteen openly declared they never voted and had no intention of doing so in the future. 'T voted once," said one housewife, 'and that was for prohibition." "Once In a while I vote, just for the fun of it," said another in the next block. Only five for Srssion. Out of the entire 66 women, but five were convinced that the y wished to see a special session of the legisla ture and would work to secure one. Eight more said they believed Oregon should aid the women elsewhere In every way possible to secure the bal lot, but maintained that the state is not justified in going to the expense of calling the session. Twenty-nine were not interested and explanations of the proposal failed to influence them in forming an" opinion. One other said she was absolutely opposed to asking legislative assistance under any circumstances whatsoever. All the joys of book agents and sub scription solicitors were experienced by the reporter who made the can vass, but when housewives got over their astonishment at finding she had nothing to sell they discussed freely quickly ai their views on suffrage. In almost! tL:- every case a detailed explanation of the reasons for wishing a special ses sion had to he given. The issue seemed of little consequence In the neighborhood. "It never occurred to me to think about it," was invariably the reply. Benefit Is Questioned. "What good would It do if the wo men got suffrage elsewhere?" sought one who has acted as clerk at the precinct during the' numerous elec tions. "When they get It half of them don't vote. Our books always show that most of them don't take any in terest In elections until after they are all over and some man is in office whom they don't like. Then they be gin to kick." Another who had also been em ployed at the polls and who is an ardent advocate of equal suffrage, said she would not oppose the move ment, but believed the expense of call ing the legislature together at this time would be an untimely and un -necessary one. This woman, despite her close association with community BUY W. TALBOT RETURNS HEAI OF GAS COMPAXT HOME, WEAK FROM ILLNESS. ENGLISH TEACHER ADDED Registration in College Department Totals 1566. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Nov. 29. (Special.) A new assistant professor in English, Whose appointment to take effect Jan uary 1 has just been announced, is Harold W. Schoenberger, a teacher of nine years' experience who has de grees from Juhlenberg collage and the University of Pennsylvania. En rollment in the English department has grown so rapidly that several new instructors have been 'necessary. The total registration in English classes f present Is 1d66. Professor Schoenberger was super intendent of schools in Partoka, Ind., for two years. Besides teaching Greek at Carleton college he was assistant professor of English in Pennsylvania State college from 1913 to 1918. Patient Reported Recovering From Effects of Operation Which' He TTnderwent in Chicago. Tn weakened condition, but thought to be well on the road to recovery t;uy W. Talbot, president of the Port land Gas & Coke company, arrived home at 7 o'clock last night, after visit of some duration in New York and eastern points which was term! r.ated by illness. It was necessary for Mr. Talbot to undergo an operation in Chicago and he returned home as goon thereafter as he could be moved While in the east Mr. Talbot was stricken by illness and was taken to the middle western city, where Dr. A. A. Bevan, former surgeon of this city, performed the operation. The trip west was made in the special car of J. P. O'Brien, federal manager of railroads for this district, Mr. Tal bot being accompanied by Mrs. Tal bot and Mr. O'Brien. Mr. Talbot withstood the trip 'ex cellently, Mrs. Talbot said last eve ning. He is rapidly recovering from the effects of the operation, she said. politics, demanded & thorough expla- nation of the entire situation and con fessed she did not even know that : suffrage circles are concerning them-1 selves with the Oregon legislature. Responses Are Identical. Responses to questions were almost identical everywhere. Here are a few of the standard samples: "My housework Is all I have time to think about. This question never occurred to me. I don't vote anyhow." "I'm interested in - seeing women vote, but I'm not a politician and I'm not going to sit up and howl for a special session if the governor doesn't care to call one." . "I'm not opposed to the session,but whether it is wise to go to the ex pense of calling one, I don't know. I woldn't say yes or no as I haven't studied the question or ever thought about it before.' "No. I don't care about it at all. Wcmen suffrage agitation Is all bunk, anyway. I never bother about it. Some club women have nothing else to think about, but we who have our children and houses to care for have no time for such agitation. I don't vote anyhow." Indifference la Shown. "I don't kndw a thing about tt. haven't even read up on it. I don't think the average woman with chil- j dren cares about such matters." j "I vote, but oon't believe in doing ! so if I don't understand a question. I I'm not even interested in this "Too busy with the babies to think about it." "I'm Interested in anything for women suffrage but hadn't heard of j this proposition." In some homes there was not abso lute harmony on the matter.' . One young woman and her mother were strongly in favor of the ratification session, while the latter's sister held that it would be too expensive. An other place where' three women were living all agreed that while they fa vored the suffrage cause, they con sidered many things more important at the present time and held that Oregon can sit back and let the other states fight, as this one has to ob tain an equal franchise. Mnoy Fall to Vote. Tha women of obvious foreign ex traction, while two of them voted occasionally, were not interested. At a third home a small dark woman, about whose skirts clung a troupe of young children, curtly dismissed the caller with, "Naw, I ain't never regis tered." Where . children came to the door and their parents were not home. those of high school age invariably told the visitor that their mother did not vote and did not talk politics at home. At one of these places It was later discovered that even the father never visited the polls. The five women who advocate a special session were easy to find, as they were unique among their neigh bors. There were the mother and daughter previously mentioned and a woman and her house guest, wno lives in Clackamas county and was in the citv a few days, and last, one of very definite sentiments. "We ve been getting too teaparty ish and crabbed," she declared. "I'm going out and do my part to see that we get the special session. I'm strong for it and think that in justice to women of other states we ought to see that the privilege of the ballot is extended." , Death Penalty Favored. This woman's neighbor across the street desired a special ' session, but for an entirely different reason. "I don't, care .much about the ballot," she said,, "but if a special session would insure usthe return of capital punishment I say we shouldhave one we can get it." This was not an exceptional case. Many of thp women . showed much more interest in the capital punish ment issue than in the suffrage one. One was" willing to discuss thie at great length, but said she preferred to nave ner hlsband attend to the family's voting and was no enthusi ast over the desires of eastern suffragettes. I don't think the average woman cares," was the popular saying of many a busy housewife, when ques tioned as to how her friends feel about the question. That expression seems to sum up in a nutshell the views of the majority of Portland's housewives.
