If BE HUMANIZED
Hays, Hoover and Others Are
Promoting Reform.
BETTER TEAM WORK AIM
Heads of Departments, Inspired by
President, Getting Acquainted
With Their Working Forces.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington. D. C, March 19. Will
H. Hays, the new and youthful postmaster-general,
has gained much pub
licity by the announcement that he
intends to "humanize" his depart
ment. He started It by Bhaklng 2000 hands
of office subordinates within a short
period, acquiring thereby a somewhat
bruised and lacerated finger,- which
makes him the latest martyr to a
good cause. While the postmaster-
general was capturing the headlines,
however, humanization was going on
in several other departments also and
especially in the White House.
This new order is reflected in the
fine spirit of co-operation which
everyone meets everywhere around
Washington. Even Laddie, the White
House Airedale, has caught the step,
as was evidenced thl morning when
he dropped into a news-stand a block
and a half from the executive man
sion to get a morning paper for the
president, thus saving someone else
a small amount of energy.
Hoover Alfio llnmnnlslng.
The news vendor inserted the paper
in Laddie's mouth as if the visit, were
an everydoy occurrence, and later
explained that the dog has been doing
th's errand for several days.
Herbert Hoover, the new secretary
of commerce, also has been doing
some humanizing, and it is said that
after two weeks in office he is calling
n-.ost of his bureau chiefs and division
heads by their first names.
Getting acquainted Mr. Hoover be
lieves to be the first move in his
great scheme of reorganization. His
plan of co-ord'natlon is one of the
biggest things yet undertaken by any
part of this administration, and the
former food administrator himself ad
mits that the task looks startling.
He told his predecessor, Joshua w
Alexander, what he tad in mind, and
lie likes to relate the humorous story
which was Mr. Alexanders response.
The former secretary of commerce
said that Mr. Hoover s ambitions re
minded him of the story of two negro
soldiers chatting together in a trench
one night over in France. One of
them said: "You know what I wants
to do is to get me a high silk hat,
lone- sDlit-talled coat, a white vest,
KtriDed trousers, a pair of pointed
. toed shoes and gray spats. I'll put
'cm on and then I'll go back to At
lanta, Ga, and I'll let them white
folks know they ain't the whole
show."
Funeral Tiot So Sure.
In reply his companion recited that
his ambition was to acquire exactly
the same items of wearing apparel,
but detailed nothing more of his In
tentions or desires, which caused the
other to inauire:
"But what are you going to do with
them?"
To which came the reply:
-I'm going to wear them to your
funeral.
tent Mr. Hoover Is confident that
there will be no funeral because he
believes he has put a lot of enthusiasm
in the vast army of employes back of
him. When he was food admlnistra
tr it is a well-known fact that
werybody under him, holding either
high or unimportant positions be
came his worshipers. His subordi
nates, both men and women, became
his followers, and he hopes to have
the same spirit running through the
department of commerce.
To read Washington dispatches one
would think the president is giving
most of his time to consideration of
political appointments. Not so. He
also is busying himself wih ques
tions of economy and he and Mrs.
Harding, after talking things over,
have decided that a good place to
begin is in the White House.
For years the private apartments
of the president and his family have
been furnished by an appropriation
from congress, but it has been de
cided that the furniture in the former
home here and at Marion, occupied
before March 4 Is good enough to go
into the White House. ' Congress will
not be asked to supply any money for
this purpose.
The groundsand the lower floor of
the White House having been opened
.to the public, the president and Mrs.
Harding believe that any reasonable
expense Is Justified in furnishing and
maintaining them In a manner be
fitting the diglty of the executive
mansion, but- their own apartments
they regard as another matter.
Mrs. Harding has inspected every
room of the White House and even
made a tour of the White House sta
bles in the routine of putting every
thing in order. She is now making
plans ror many social activities which
it should be understood must be paid
for out of the Harding purse. It is
the intention of Mrs.'Harding to try
to establish some of the hospitable
atmosphere of the small town in
which she has spent the most of her
life.
Besides, she plans to continue her
interest in the government employes
of Washington with the same moth
erly tenderness that she gave them
when thousands came to the capital
strangers and friendless during the
war. Special occasions, it is under
stood, will be arranged for receiving
them. She wants them to look upon
the White House grounds as their
own and not as the private property
of the present occupants of the presi
dential mansion, and during the sum
mer months there are to be several
garden parties on these spacious
lawns.
Washington Is happy because the
egg-rolling Is to be restored on East
er Monday, but there is almost equal
satisfaction because the Saturday aft
ernoon concerts of the marine band,
"the president's own," are to be re
vived very soon.
Special events are to be provided
for disabled veterans of the world
war, including the hundreds in Wal
ter Reed hospital. Mrs. Harding is
now looking forward to the day when
she can receive all of these heroes,
many of whom she already has vis
ited. As somebody expressed it a few
days ago, present impressions make
one feel that the White House has
been moved back from Versailles to
the United States.

FRANCHISE TO BE ASKED
Northwestern Electric Company

VANCOUVER. Wash., March 19.
(Special.) The Northwestern Klec-
tric company, now supplying power
and light in Camas and Washougal,
will invade this district this summer
and will expend probably 150,000 in
construction work this year, it was
rumored here today. It was said that
the company, at a council meeting in
the near future, would seek a fran
chise to enter Vancouver.
The company has owned a dam site
on the north fork of Lewis river for a
number of years, but has. not built
tlnuing what appears to be a futile
search for Edward McGarry, 21 years
old, brother of Mrs. Walter Jerome,
214 West Seventeenth street, this city.
Who has been missing since March 1.
McGarry went to Portland the aft
ernoon of March 1 in search of em
ployment as member of the crew of
an ocean-going ship, but since arriv
ing at Portland all trace of his move
ments were shrouded in mystery. No
shipping bureau nor steamship agency
in Portland has any record that Mc
Garry obtained work. He bad little
money in his possession, but has a
large amount deposited in his name
at a-local bank, which is watching for
arrival of checks.
McGarry was born in Ireland, Is of
medium height, weighs 135 pounds,
and when he left home he wore a
gray hat, flannel shirt, gray suit,
brown . checked overcoat and tan
shoes.

TOLLS VETO IS DISLIKED
Vancouver Makes Many Unkind
References to Governor.
VANCOUVER, "Wash., March 19.
(Special.) Many unkind and uncom
plimentary remarks were made in
Vancouver today about Governor
Hart's action In vetoing .the bridge
tolls bill, which, he said, was because
of a typographical error. A stenog
rapher made "section 7" read "sec
tion 22."
An effort was made to have Gov
ernor Hart permit the bill to become
law without his signature. The
county could then go into court and
have the mistake corrected.
No money collected in tolls from
the bridge for the coming two years
can now be spent on any roads in tha
county. As it was, the county could
have spent it to build an industrial
road down the river to reabh the site
where several big industries are op
erating or are beginning to build.

filing of the petition and, under the
federal bankruptcy law of 1898, is
subject to reversion to the assets of

claims set rorth in the petition.
Flrat National Bank amed.
'ihe First National bank of Port
land was alleged to have received
$47,012.84 in transfer of canned goods
ana payment of money between De-
cemoer zi, i20, and February 23
19J1. The First National bank of
ban Francisco was alleged to have
received $40,997.72 between November

of money and canned goods listed
were Corn Exchange bank of Chicago,
$8100 on December 16, 1920; Miss
Miner, $1000 on March 9, 1921, and
the National bank of Falls City,
$3800 on March 15.. 1921.
Four smaller creditors whose claims
against the canning company aggre
gate about $1150, filed the petition
for involuntary bankruptcy, although
a petition to intervene, requesting
permission to Join with the concerns,
was filed at the same time by the
Northwestern National bank and the
State bank of Portland, whose claims
against the Rupert company are
$12o,000 and $50,000 respectively.
A subpena requiring the Rupert
company officials to appear in federal
court on or before April 9 and be
adjudicated was issued following the
filing of the petitions. Unless the
concern can establish that its affairs
are solvent on its appearance in fed
eral court it will be adjudged an in
voluntary bankrupt. In such case. 10
days will be allowed after the court

company, whose respective claims
against the Rupert company were
given as $57.20, $715.04, $78.88 and

Spencer Named Receiver.
The Rupert company went into the
hands of a receiver on March 17
when Circuit Judge Kavanaugh ap
pointed Frank A. Spencer as, receiver.
At that time the assets of the con
cern' were listed at $1,767,918.79 and
the liabilities at $1,889,961.48, leaving
a deficit of $103,525.95. A further
shrinkage- in the assets of the con
cern was anticipated, as much of the
assets listed were canned goods in
the warehouses of the company.
The upheaval in the affairs of the
Rupert' company resulted from a
radioal cut in prices of canned fruits
by the California Packers' association
early in 1921, according to informa
tion brought out before Judge Kav
anaugh. The receivership was pre
cipitated by action taken by the Eu
gene Co-operative Fruit Growers' as
sociation, which held unpaid trade
acceptances for $11,894.88.
