LANE COUNTY TO EXHIBIT Representation at Oregon State Fair Finally Determined. EUGENE, Or.. Aug. 20. (Special.) Lane county will send an exhibit to the state fair at Salem, according to decision of the board of directors of the Lane County Fair association. George W. Taylor, president of the association, will have charge of the exhibit. The programme for the county fair, which is to be held September 13-16, inclusive, as outlined at the meeting last night is as follows: Tuesday, September 13, will be pio neers' and children's day. All persons who came to the state in 1860 or prior to that date and all children 12 years old or less will be admitted free. Wednesday, September 14, will be Lane county day; Thursday, Septem ber 15, Eugene day, and Friday, Sep tember 16, boys' and girls' industrial club day. PURSUANT to the trend of the day in theatricals. Manager Lee Pearl of the Baker Stock company has engaged a youthful ingenue type of leading woman for the new season. Miss Marjorie Foster is her name and she is entirely i w to the Pacific coast, excepting for the one occasion when she visited here as William Hodge's leading woman in "The Road to Happiness." "The day of the robust and over healthful leading woman is past," opines Mr. Pearl, "or if it is not en tirely past it is temporarily mislaid to make way for the youthful, girlish and thoroughly feminine ingenue type of leading woman. Much of this is due to the type of plays that are being written nowadays. Most of the material that comes in play form now is comedy or light farce, and even the dramatic pieces demand te in genue leading women. The Blanche Walshes, the Mrs. Leslie Carters, the Mary Mannerings and Florence Rob ertses have given way to the Ina Claires, Fay Bainters and Helen Hayeses of today. Even Nazimova, who used to do only dramatic work, is now a youthful comedienne. Mar garet Illington has turned to comedy 1 the opening on September 4 in and even Mrs. Fiske s iast several w onaeriui i ning. plays have been light, gay ones. Blanche Bates has done' only comedy roles in the past few years. The war. X believewas an influencing factor in molding public preferences for tne light and youthful and happier in both plays and players. "Whatever is the cause," said Mr. Pearl, "the fact remains that the lead ing woman of today must be young and pretty and wear smart clothes or she doesn't fill the bill. In getting Marjorie Foster the Baker manage ment feels that it has adequately met the demands of its patrons for the coming season. Miss Foster is young and a lovely natural blonde. She i petite and -dainty and comes with a record of achievements that are cer tainly worth notice. She has had two seasons on the road, one with William Hodges and one in Cohan's play. The Fortune Hunter.' She has played two seasons in Orpheum stock in Newark, N. J., one season in Shubert stock at Milwaukee, one season in bhubert stock in Minneapolis and a season in Hamilton, Ont. She was a big suc cess in stock at the National in Chi cago and again, with the Central Square Players at Lynn, Mass." Miss Foster will- arrive this week and goes into rehearsals at once for The HOP PICKING WILL BEGIN early 2 0 00 Workers to Start Work in Willamette Yards Tomorrow.

LANDING FIELD NOT USED SALEM. Or., Aug. 20. (Special.) Governor Olcott, iollowing receipt of a letter today in wnich Judge Robert Tucker of the .Multnomah county cir cuit court said he would decline to ac cept the office of justice of the Ore gon supreme court to succeed Justice Charles ' A. Johns, who has been nominated by President Harding as associate justice of the supreme court of the Philippine Islands, announced that he would appoint John McCourt as Mr. Johns' successor in event the justice was confirmed by the senate for the foreign post.

Justice Johns, if confirmed by the senate for the Philippine berth, was expected to resign as a member of the Oregon supreme court about October 1. He is now at Jiewport, but will return to Salem about September 1 and resume his duties as a mem ber of the supreme court. It will be liko going home," said Judge McCourt. confirming the report of his acceptance of appointment to the supreme bench on hi3 return, to Portland yesterday from a fishing trip up the McKenzie river. Judge McCourt lived in. Salem for many years and his wife was Miss Veva Boothby, daughter of W. F. Boothby of Salem. Few judges on the Multnomah cir cuit bench have been held in as high esteem by attorneys as Judge Mc Court during his fairly brief regime. He was considered a jurist who never permitted personal considera tions to influence hi9 decisions and a man whose biting sarcasm made uncomfortable those who came into his court with unclean hands. In divorce matters, he held to the letter of the law, compelling litigants to prove all the elements embraced in statutory charges made before grant ing decrees. This strict policy caused his court to be shunned by those seeking separation on flimsy grounds. I.n w Career Lpng. Judge McCourt was' appointed to the bench in 1918 to succeed the late Judge Calvin U. Gantenbein. He was elected by an overwhelming majority to continue In office at the election Lwhich followed. The judge was telephoned by Gov ernor Olcott while at Belknap Springs Friday afternoon and discussed the offer. The jurist was leaving for Portland when telephoned and gave his decision to the governor yester day morning. Acceptance of the appointment by Judge McCourt will permit Governor Olcott to carry out previously an nounced plans which named District Attorney Evans circuit judge and Stanley Myers, deputy city attorney, district attorney. Since 1896 Judge McCourt has been practicing law in Oregon, having been admitted to the state bar after grad uation from Willamette university at Salem with the degree of bachelor of law.

' Swiss minister to the United States, who will -visit Portland this week. consul since July 1. 1921, when Al brecht Streiff resigned after serving from 1913. Mr. Bircher was consul in Portland form 1894 to 1911, and said it was expected that difficulty would be encountered in procuring a local rep resentative. The Portland post is an honorary position carrying no salary. This, to gether with the fact that all com munications from Berne are in French, makes it hard to find anyone willing to serve as consul, because of 446 members of the United Swiss societies in the city, there is only one who speaks and reads French. Marc Peter, the Swiss minister, came to Washington the first of the Cnly Two Men of Ill-Fated Ship Came Forward b Help Save Lives, Says Captain Snoddy. VANCOUVER, B. C, Aug. 20. Only two members of the crew of the steamer Alaska, sunk off the Call fornia coast with the loss of many lives, were willin&' to man boats from th rescue steamer Anyox to go to th aid of victims of the wreck. Cap tain S. Snoddy, master of the Anyox, declared in a statement here today. Captain Snoddy, in his statement, took exception to testimony reported to have been given by William E. Mc Clintock, first' officer of the Alaska, before a federal board or inquiry Thursday, to the effect that McClin- tock had made two separate attempts to get a volunteer crew to go from the Anyox in search of survivors, but was stopped on botn occasions Dy Captain Snoddy. "Mr. McClintock's offer was not taken seriously." Captain Snoddy said, "as most of the boats and rafts that had been picked up were only about half full and hardly any of those rescued were able to pull an oar or make a painter fast. Also, only two of the Alaska's crew offered theif services. "I told them they could go, but ad vised them the best thing that could be done was for the Anyox to con tinue cruising in the neighborhood of the wreck, blowing her whistle and thus locating survivors. I refused permission for members of our crew to go. as they were needed aboard to get survivors aboard the ship from the boats. Outside of three or four men, including one steward, none of the Alaska's crew gave assistance in this work, in fact, keeping clear of the oil-soaked victims. "Later, when I heard voices from the water I suggested manning boats to pick them up. Two of the Alaska's crew offered their services, but made no attempt to man the boats, nor did they offer to assist when a lifeboat returned loaded with survivors.

Prize-Flght Pictures Said to Be Less Demoralizing Than Some Permitted on Screen. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20. Prize fight motion pictures, which are barred by law, may be more inspir ing and desirable than some of the ex appeal pictures whose display is allowed. Mrs. Culla J. Vayhinger, Up land, Ind., a national director of the Women's Christian Temperance union, said here today in addressing a Sab bath observance conference of the 4Sth annual convention of the union. Mrs. Vayhinger charged that the present censorship of- pictures is al most purely commercial.

The conference resolved for a closer observance of the Sabbath without any undue restrictions on amuse ments as they now exist under the law. Other speakers were Mrs. Emma Starrett, Central City, Neb.; Mrs. Mary B. Piatt. Evanston, 111., and Mrs Elizabeth Preston Anderson. Fargo, N. D. Charles H. Randall of Los An geles, ex-representative in congress, addressed the anti-narcotics section of the conference, which also met to day. He said that the tobacco in terests of the country launched a fight against him because he sug gested that there might be at least a 10 per cent saving in white print paper if cigarette advertising were eliminated. Mrs. Frances E. Beauchamp a Ken tucky delegate, told this conference that "if it had been a campaign to get rid of liquor or cigarettes she would have entered the anti-cigarette fight." She auoTed authorities to the effect that 20,000 deaths in the United States last year were due di rectly or Indirectly to cigarette smoking.
