MISS MARJORIE FOSTER.
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

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.
Judge McCourt now presides over
department No. 6 of the circuit court
of Multnomah county. He has in
formed Governor Olcott that he will
accept the offer as justice of the Ore
gon supreme court in case of Mr.
Johns' resignation..
Slate Is Arranged.
Walter Evans, at present district
attorney of Multnomah county, will
be appointed by Governor Olcott to
succeed Judge McCourt, while Captain
Stanley Myers, now deputy city at
torney of the city cf Portland, will
succeed Mr. Evans.
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. He was born in Listowel,
Ont., Canada, on February 26, 1874,
but was taken to California when a
child and educated In the public
schools of Sbasta county. He came
to Oregon in 1890.

city council.
Broomfield aviation field near the

the land from the Ladd estate in

reports to the council that it is not
advisable to renew the lease, which
expires September 1. as not more

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.

W. C. T. U. DIRECTOR ASSAILS
CENSORSHIP OF 3IOVIES.
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.
"Pictures are not censored for what
they contain," she said, "but for how
well they will sell and where the best
markets may be obtained. The cen
sorship itself is left in the hands of
the Industry."
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.
