This was the emphatic assertion of Edward ("Hoot") Gibson, world's champion cowboy, screen star and 'daredevil and a true Oreg-oflian by preference, on his arrival in Portland yesterday morning for a ssriea of personal appearances at the liberty theater. The report and c-ossip of orgies and high Ufa amonr the moving- pic ture stars are exaggerated a hundred fold, or are simply false stories based on unauthentic rumor," said liibson. "I have lived in the center of Hollywood for four years and, the big- stars In the pictures are friends I have known intimately. 1 can truthfully Hay that I know of only one star who was a drug- addict. This Ftnr was a girl who was forced om or me mm same Because or. neri us of drugs.

Including: l'ortland. Dope Peddlers gain access to the studios by securing- Jobs as 'extras' in mob -enes, and sometimes sell their hor nble wares to other 'extras," work' men or hangers-on. "A man or woman who becomes prominent figure in the motion pie ture world cannot make good against tn Handicaps of drugs, liquor or other tfc ins of excess. Llf mt Stars lleU Cteam. "To prove my belief in the moral soundness of screen players, I would be willing to take anyone into the home of any of the atara I know and let the visitor see the life of stars off the screen. My personal record is clean, and I have nothing to fear from any just investigation. I can ay the sama for other picture people. 'borne of the male stars take drink once In a while, but not enough to hurt them. Often a star gets a bad reputation unjustly through the boast ful gossip of aome outsider who par takes of the stars hospitality, and then tells how he "got soused to the gills in a big party v.ith So-and-so, the famous film hero." "Nine-tenths of the persons who appear In news stories of a sensa tional nature are men and women never heard of in the profession. They are 'extras' with a few days or mouths experience, or no connection at all with pictures. When caught in a Jam. they call themselves movie actors or actresses. "Nearly all the stars are married and live quietly with their families. The lives of such stars as Douglas F.rbanks. Mary I'ickford, Charles Kay. Lila Iee and dozens of others I know are absolutely clean." Taylor Marker Heavy Blow. Mr. Gibson declared that the Tay lor murder and subsequent publicity would eventually coat the film in terettls millions of dollars. He charged the police of Los Angeles with "four fliishing" and ''keystone cop antics." "The real murderer has fooled them, aad to make a showing they are dragging In the names of famous tatare to divert sublio attention," be aaid. '.Mabel Normand and Mary Miles Minter are absolutely innocent of any wrongdoing la connection with Tay lor's murder. "My personal theory is that Sands, tho butler, is at the bottom of the tragedy, although the man who I lanned it might not have done the ahooting." K-f erring- to the trial of Roscoe ("Katty" Arbuckle. Mr. Gibson ex pressed the firm belief that the plump comedian waa innocent. "It isn't like Roscoe to do anything like that." he said.

The Lincoln Memorial society of Oregon will furnish speakers to the schools of Portland, which will remain open tomorrow. Exercises will be held in each of them.

(Special.) Upon telegraphic orders from attorney- general of the United States, Colonel K. t. Davis. United States district attorney, today ordered the seizure case brought against the Pullman company, by which one of its Pull man cars was seized and held under a bond, dismissed. The bond of $20.00J1 put up by the company at the tim the car was 'seized was ordered re turned. While no special reason was given for the dismissal of the case. Colonel Davis was of the opinion that the attorney-general believed the seizing of Pullman cars because a porter car ried liquor on it would work too great a hardship on the company and the public also, and if a car could be held because a porter carried liquor on it. it could also be held if a pas senger carried liquor, and therefore it was not In the same class as an automobile in transporting liquor. A new keynote of optimism and determination was sounded by Robert E. Smith, commander-in-chief of the community chest forces, following a meeting of generals end colonels of the chest army yesterday morning to make plans for the next stage of the campaign. At the end of the second week of the drive, the sum of $475,636 had been pledged to the, chest, leaving $323,141 still to be raised if the quota of $798,777 is to be attained. In spite of apparent dwindling of pub lic interest in the chest project dur ing the week, leaders of the cam paign have not lost heart for an in stant, and are determined to carry on until the chest Is filled, or at least until every available source of poten tial , subscriptions has been thor oughly covered. Sltnatioa Is Summarized. General Smith summed up the situ ation and outlined plans for the rest or the campaign in the following statement given out late yesterday afternoon: "There is no reason to be discour aged over the result of the first two weeks of the community chest cam paign. More than $450,000 has been subscribed and reported and sub scriptions from Industrial plants which have not been thoroughly canvassed, win bring the total wen over the half -million ciark. 'There has been a tremendous amount of sickness In the city. A third of the solicitors have been sick in bed and many others have been unable to leave their places of busi nes or homes because of Illness of the members of their firms or fam ilies. Then, too, there, haa been proportionate amount of sickness among the public. Thousands of people have been sick at home and unable to see the solicitors. The result is that only 22.000 subscrip tlons have been received, whereas there are more than 50,000 potential givers in the city. Campaign Only Bait Over. 'The campaign Is only half over, and less than one-third of the re quired amount has yet to be raised. The campaign will be continued, but along different lines. 'Hundreds of men who have given liberallv to the chest and who are iTeart and soul behind the campaign have, offered to solicit those in their own line of business who have . not yet been Been by the regular chest organization. These offers could not be accepted until the city had been worked geographically because it would have resulted in conflicts and confusion. But beginning this week the city will be reworked by indus tries, trades and professions. "No one is to be coerced or in timldated Into giving. No one is to be told what they should contribute, but everyone will have an opportunity to subscribe, and the solicitation will be by someone in his or her own line of business or profession. A large force of volunteer workers is segre gating and classifying all of the 22,000 subscriptions" to far received into 103 different groups. Just fast as possible committees composed of persons represented in such groups will be asked to take charge of so licitlng members of these groups who have not been seen by the regular solicitors. I am confident from the responses thus far received and from the spirit of the city that the deficit can and will be subscribed in mis way. Sickness Epidemic Met. The solicitors who have conducted the geographical canvass and the members of the flying squadron have achieved a result of which they may be proud. In the face of an epidemic of sickness and other obstacles they have in two weeks raised two-thirds of the charitable and philanthropic requirements of the city for a whole year. "They have trudged from house to house and office to office, in the rain and the slush, at the expense of their health, comfort and personal affairs, and have shown a spirit of deter mination and unselfishness which has not been duplicated since the war. The thousands of nedy people who will be cared for the sick, the hungry, the aged and infirm, and those who are in unfortunate circumstances are grateful to them for their devotion and self-denial. Otaer Drives Eliminated. "The more prosperous citizens of Portland are also deeply Indebted to them, because they have done their full part in relieving the city of a condition which would result in hold ups, burglaries, prostitution and the other effects of uncalled-for hunger and poverty. They have done their part in eliminating 44 drives and in maintaining the city's safety, honor and reputation. "They are asked to stay on the Job until they have thoroughly canvassed their districts and then they may well consider that they have fully dis charged their civio duty for a year. "Only a third of our quota remains to be raised. It is a community prob lem and responsibility and Portland has never shirked in a civic duty. It wlil not fail now. Success- is just around the corner. A long pull, a hard pull and a pull altogether, and the Job is done." Woodwen to Have Banquet. Multnomah camp, No. 77. Woodmen of the World, now the largest organ ization of its kind in the entire west, is to celebrate its 31st year of activ ities at a banquet on the night of February 27.
