J , j Combination. , a" j 5 Portland lodge of Elk3 believes that the time is ripe for a great re vival of civic spirit, for a solid drive to bring back normalcy, and has de cided to dedicate an entire week to the sole purpose of arousing Port land, the state and the whole north west, so far as they can, and every one of the 3700 members of the pop ular order of Good Fellows is pledged to help put the plan over. "We want more pep and less pare goric," firmly declared the new Elks' festival commission, which hag been appointed to stage the big spectacular undertaking, which is planned to wake Old Man Portland up as he hasn't been aroused for many moons. The week of May 15 has been se lected as the season for snap and sunshine, and a programme of enter tainment and frolic, pageantry, pa rade, masques and spectacles that beats anything Portland has wit nessed in years, if not in all her his tory, is being lined up to put ginger and jazz into the entire community and throughout all Elkdom of the northwest. Normalcy Move Next. Portland's strong and growing herd of high-spirited go-getters feel that they are the logical organization to stage the proposed revival of good times and to make a reality of "nor malcy," which everyone is talking about. The Elks accomplished great things during the war; they helped the Salvation Army and led in many patriotic movements. Each year they provide necessities and comforts for thousands of needy men, women and children through the picturesque Chris'tmas tree celebration, and now they are shoulder to shoulder in an effort to build up better times here at home by the erection of a million dollar temple. The municipal auditorium has been secured for the entire week of May 15, and It will be the scene of some brilliant and thrilling events. Circus to Be Staged. Chief among the star attractions arranged for is a top-notch indoor cir cus, with a bewildering array of splendid equestrian events staged un der the direction of Walter Honey man, who will be assisted by the members of the Portland Hunt club and other crack horsemen of the Pa cific northwest. A group of 30 of the best trained horses in the country have been obtained for this feature. Negotiations are now going on to secure a reproduction of the wonder ful chariot race from the play "Ben Hur," which could be given most ef fectively on the large stage in the auditorium. Other features so far determined upon are: Spring fashion review an industrial fair, a queen voting con test and imperial coronation, oriental garden fete, bazaar, a dansant and Mardi Gras, fairyland and other en tertainment events of interest. The following is the personnel of the Elks' festival commission which will have general charge of the cele bration: J. W. Morrow, chairman; John B. Hibbard, W. P. Strandborg, Milton R. Klepper, Gus C. Moser, A. R. McKlnley, Ben Norden and M. E. Spaulding, secretary. Headquarters will be opened in -the Elks' building this week. TH REFUND li 1B1 THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS GO BACK TO CORPORATIONS. Internal Revenue Collector's Of fice Discusses Effect of Decison In Acme Company Case. CLEVELAND, Feb. 18.- A decision handed down by Federal Judge West enhaver Friday against the govern ment in its collection of income taxes from stockholders of the National Acme company of Cleveland means that the government must refund thousands of dollars to stockholders of many corporations throughout the country which reorganized in the last four or five years according to officers of the Internal revenue col lector's office here, The National Acme company, reor ganized in 1916, Increasing its capi talization from 5,000,000 to 25,000,- 000. Each shareholder was given five shares of stock in the new con cern at $50 par value, plus $150 cash, for each share of $100 par value in the old concern. j The court holds that the internal revenue collector unlawfully certi fied the stockholders to pay tax on $222 a share of stock more than they were taxable under the law. The transaction, so far as the shares are concerned, does not constitute a sale of stock, but merely a transfer and income taxes may be computed only on the basis of the $150 cash part of the transaction, according to the court's ruling.

Names of Members of Party Put in Bottle Which Is Placed in Cairn of Stones. The snow-capped neak of Mount Rainier was scaled for the first time in mid-winter when four men suc ceeded in reaching the summit on Monday, February 13, after 10 hours of hard climbing.' The party in cluded Charles R. Ferryman, moving picture cameraman .or Seattle, one Swiss Alpine climbe!,!, Jean Bugues, and French climberBT Jacques and ean Landry. The party started from Anvil Rock rangers' cabin shortly after 4 A. M. and toiled upward past Gibraltar, hewing footholds in the ice-chested slope. The use of axes again was found necessary in ascending the heights beyond. After passing those two points, the ascent was somewhat easier, although, still dan gerous. Many dangerous crevasses caused the party to detour and use extreme caution. The crest of the mountain was reached at 2:15 o'clock that same afternoon. The name and address of each member of the party and the date were written on a piece of paper, placed in a bottle and the bot tle was .laid in a cairn of stones as evidence that the summit had been reached by the hardy adventurers. Perryman obtained iuu leet oi film showing views at the summit and also took pictures during the climb. The descent was made in half the time required for the climb. The four men reached Anvil rock at 7:30 that night. They had passed prac tically 15 hours on the mountain in the piercing cold, intensified by a raw wind. The members of the party were practically exhausted upon their return to the ranger's station. GRADUATE HAS. BIG JOB Agricultural College Man Is Head of Canton Forestry.

ELSIE fllLLVVITHIN LAW Xo Statute of Connecticut Can Com pel Use of Husband's Name. , HARTFORD, Conn., Feb. 18. Elsie Hill, who recently married Professor Lcavitt, was so well known in Con necticut as a suffragist leader and worker, that the announcement that she would retain her1 maiden - name though married attracted state-wide attention. It set lawyers and others at work reading statutes old and new to see if there was anything in them which would prevent Elsie Hill from using in Connecticut her maiden name though married. The best legal opinion in default of an actual court decision is that a woman may take any name Bill chooses provided there is no intent to defraud. There are no written words which requires a woman in Connecticut to take her husband's nam after mar riage. Lawyers, however, say that it will have to be determined if a marriei woman retaining her Pia'.dn name can vote under ; the maiden name or obtain a passport from the government.

CUPID PLAYS IN HARD LUCK, BUT MANAGES TO WIN OUT Bridal Pair Are Wrecked in Auto, But Are Married Anyway, and Then Robber Puts Jinx on Reception They Tried to Hold.- BY JESSIE HENDERSON. (Copyright. 1022. by The Oreronian.) NEW Mai j;w lUKit, eo. is. (special.) Venus was on the outs with Mars, or Jinx had it in for .Hy men, as the astrologers put it, there fore in spite of the benign influence of St. Valentine Cupid placed in bad luck all the week. He won out all right, of course, but he sustained a good many abrasions and contusions in the process. There were, for example, the nup tials and compound fractures of the Greenbergs and Diamonds. Henrietta Greenberg set out with Jack Diamond and various friendg and relatives in a motor car, bent on nothing more serious than getting married. In avoiding a pile of building material left by the Jinx on third avenue, the chauffeur wrapped the machine and its contents around an "L" pillar with damage to- all concerned. An -ambulance surgeon was summoned instead of a cleric. Four stitches were taken in the bride's cheek and the bride groom was bandaged and courtplas tered. Holdup Arranged by Jinx. When the ambulance man' was through with them the happy pair looked upon each other and decided gamely that marriage couldn't be any worse. ' And there was the wedding cele bration in Brooklyn, completely dis rupted when the jinx arranged a holdup around the corner. Into the joy and dancmg of the post-nuptial festivities dashed Jacob Garber with a tale about three gunmen who had re quested him in vain to hand over his m NOW IN PENITENTIARY SALEM PRISON AT HIGH MARK OF SEVERAL YEARS. Gain of 133 Prisoners Is Shown for Last 1 2 Months and In crease Continues. SALEM, Or., Feb. 18. (Special.) The population of the Oregon state penitentiary today totaled 445, which is the high mark for a number of years. This figure shjws a, gain of 133 prisoners during the last 12 months, and the enrollment continues to increase. During the last year there were received at the penitentiary 37 men under sentences ranging from five years to life. These prisoners were sentenced for crimes of violence, not Including murder, and. are not eligi ble to parole. Warden Compton said that these prisoners can be released only after serving their full sentences, less cer tain deductions for good behavior or executive clemency in the shape of a pardon. - At the special session of the legis lature in January, 1920 a. law was passed, upon the recommendation of Governor Olcott, which provided: "Whenever any person is convicted of the charge of having committed homicide in any degree, treason, rape (where violence is an element of the crime), robbery of any kind, burglary when armed with a dangerous wea pon and assault with intent to kill while being armed with a dangerous weapon, the court shall, unless the penalty for the commission of such crime be life imprisonment," sentence such person to serve a definite term in the penitentiary not in excess of the maximum term provided by law therefor." Under this law a person convicted of any of the crimes enumerated is never eligible for parole. "It is barely posslble,"said Gov ernor Olcott in a statemeiw comment ing on the prison situation, "that if those persons who are planning to commit such crimes notice the sen tences now being imposed and real ize that on top of such sentences all parole privileges are denied them by law, they may hesitate before carry ing out their criminal Intentions." In case the population of the prison continues to increase during the pres ent year on the same basis as during the past 12 months, the institution will be crowded to its capacity by December 81. Four Arrested In Raid. Jeanne Patterson, 19; Alonzo Hew ett,-- 20; Hollis Candioglos, 21, and Fred Princeton, 23, were arrested in a room of a Tavlor-street lodcini? J house Friday night, after inanectora money. Garber, who carried quite a sum with him, had replied by head long flight, and as he flashed around the corner the sound of many peopla merrymaking came gratefully to hia ears. In an instant several dozen wedding guests piled out of the hous and into taxicabs and gave chase to such good purpose that they had twi suspects down and nearly out before the police came to the rescue of the captives. But meanwhile the bridal pair stood disconsolate in the receiv ing line with no line to receive. Pencil Costs Man $10. There was James Mayonl, likewise who came to Manhattan from Brook lyn to buy a pencil, which cost him $10. Mayonl declared in court tha Cupid had nothing to do with the matter, but Miss May Davis didn'l like It because she thought Mayon winked at her. She thought this fof three blocks and then the jinx in a patrolman's uniform took Mayoni to the night court. Mayoni protested he hadn't winked for days and days. But the mag'strate thought the same as Miss Davis did and took ten of Ma yoni's dollars. Madispn Square Garden was vocal this week with the' dog show and its 1804 entries.
