THE SUNDAY OREC ONIAX,-" PORTLAND, MAY 21, 1923 OLD GUI RALLIES J( BACK-UP P1NCH0T Pennsylvania Machine Shakes After Defeat. . SPROUL PLEDGES HELP f Opponents or Victor in Primaries to Get Beliind Nominee for November Election. I BY DAVID FERNSDER. (Copyright. 1322. by The Oraroniaa.) HARR1SBURG. Pa.. May 20. (Spe cial.) The old republican organiza tion in Pennsylvania the product of three generations of political bosses, Quay, Cameron and Penrose is shak ing on its foundations today as a re sult of the shattering blow it received Tuesday when Gifford Pinchot, op posed by important elements of the machine, won the republican nomina tion for governor. From the moment Wednesday when returns indicated Pinchot would win over George E. Altec, attorney-gen-ral there was a scurrying of po litical leaders from Philadelphia to Pittsburg to get under the banner of the ex-state forester. Today it is J.ard to find an Alter man left In fact the parade started pjrimary day T.hcn "Buck" Devlin, onee-time Pen xoeo lieutenant in Philadelphia threw Ms forces away from the machine candidate. Pinchot's election in November is a foregono conclusion. It certainly is triads even more certain by the steady rush of the old organization to back him up. Iieaders for Kotnlnre. Throughout the state since the pri Inary the leaders have beeij openly proclaiming their support. Governor Sproul, who was openly an hdvocate of Alter, offered his support to Pinchot as soon as the forester's nomination was conceded. Just where the o'd organization will pet off, however, is a question. Had Alter been nominated, Sproul was to Jiave been backed for the late Senator Penrose's place upon the national committee and Baker was to have received the organization's support (or state committee chairman, a post now held by United States Senator Crow, who ha3 been sick for some time. Not until the meeting of the state committee June 14 will the fate of the eld guaird machine be determined. Election of either Sproul or Baker is pot considered probable. Machine Faces Downfall. Displacing of Sproul and Baker will mean the end of the old Penrose ma chine. Pinchot is expected to avail himself of the present organiaztion, however, and be content in giving it ja new coat of paint and placing a new crew on board. Defeat of Alter was not a personal one he has been a big man in the etate and party for years and is ex pected to continue. A 'general dissatisfaction over the xnanner in which the affairs of the etate have been conducted under the present administration, brought to a climax by the recent state treasury exposures by Auditor-General Lewis was the chief reason for the Pinchot victory. The people had particular objection to the manner in which the machine Iiad selected its candidate and many friends of candidates who had been forced to drop out rallied to the sup port of Pinchot in revenge. Although Pinchot had gathered to his support the progressive element of the party, he also had the backing of some of the most reactionary leaders. Personal Following Large. Pinchot also had a large personal following. He was a friend of Roose velt and received thousands of votes from backers of the ex-president and the Bull Moose party. Pinchot was know favorably to the farmers through h''s conservation policies and had received a great amount of fav orable mention on his forestry work. Labor and particularly the miners t was with him. The woman vote was nlmost solidly far the ex-forester due to a general aversion on the women's part to a machine picked candidate. Indications are that the old guard will stand behind Pinchot in the No vember campaign and in order to maintain, their own local leadership will work to their utmost to roll up B,n overwhelming majority for him. SCREEN STAR ARRESTED (Continued From First Pase. Paper reporters who boarded the trair at almost every station, or who were already on it when it started, but at the last moment, when some one suggested that her silence might result in misjudgment of Valentino, and a&ked her If she loved him, her lips formed one word: "Forever." Then she resumed her attitude of si lence. Persons on her train said she told them she would "never, never leave Koclolpli," and planned to return to him. but Miss Hudnut would say noth ing to this effect to reporters. Miss Hudnut sent Valentino nine telegrams and a special delivery let ter during the trip here. She re ceived 12 telegrams from him. All were couched in terms of endearment, such phrases as "bushels of love," "don't worry, everything will be all right," "Love you so much," "God take care of you" and "your darling sweet heart" predominated in the wires sent and received by her. To several she signed the word "Bambino" instead of her name. . It is Italian for sweetheart. Miss Hudnut's only companion was a Pekinese dog, which rode in the baggage car. Traveling under the name of "Winifred Shaughnessy" she rod-, in an ordinary lower berth, but made no attempt to conceal her iden tity when reporters asked her if she was "Mrs. Valentino." The trip east literally was a story without words for, while Miss Hud nut refused to make anything that could be called a formal statement, her every move was carefully watched by fellow passengers who soon learned her identity. At times she cried, at others ehe laughed as the reporters pleaded with her to talk, but most of the time she sat looking wistfully at a book on her lap which always remained open at the same spot, for she never turned a page. Part of the trip was spent in cutting pictures of Valentino out of magazines and papers and the only times she really showed igns of joy were when the porter came in with telegrams all from Valentino. To all queries she had one reply: "i'm sorry, but I can't talk to you." She not only refused to talk about the marriage to Valentino, but refused to discuss anything else, refusing even to divulge her destination. As the train neared Chicago she disappeared. A short time later a porter took her coat; then her bag gage. She was found sitting on a mail truck in the baggage car, plan ning to outwit everyone by jumping off as the train stopped. "Well, I'm in prison," she said. "I'll never try to dodge reporters again but I'll never talk with you." Miss Hudnut left immediately for New York. DAUGHEUTT ACTS DECRIED ATTOKXEY-GENEItAL SHOULD RESIGN, SAYS SENATOR. Course in Connection 'With Case of C. W. Morse Denounced in Sen ate by Arkansas Man. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 20. The declaration that Attorney - General Daugherty should resign from office and not further embarrass the admin istration was made in the senate to day by Senator Caraway, democrat. Arkansas, during a renewal by the senator of discussion of Mr. Daugh- erty's alleged connection with the re lease from the Atlanta prison of C. W. Morse, New York shipbuilder. Mr. Caraway charged that the at torney-general had requested Thomas B. Fefder, former Georgia attorney, to employ the government's chief wit ness In the Bosch magneto investiga tion as his assistant in defending the Bosch company. Senator Caraway submitted to the senate what he said was a photo static copy of a contract between Mr. Felder and Mr. Morse by which the former, with Mr. Daugherty, was to receive a ?2o,000 fee for obtaining Mr. Morse's release from the Atlanta prison. He declared that the alleged contract made it "look like the at torney-general had left some of his colleagues in a hole," referring to statements on the ' floor by Senator Watson, republican, Indiana, who, Mr Caraway said, had "rushed" to the defense of Mr. Daugherty when the controversy first was opened in the senate. Senator Watson of Georgia, renew ing his attack on Mr. Felder, de scribed him as "an obscene bird flap ping vulture wings," and as a "slimy serpent." CDOLIDGE TO SPEAK TO PRESBYTERIANS Vice-President Guest at Des Moines Gathering. REUNION PLANS PROGRESS Indications Are That Split of Two Elements Occasioned by War in Time Will Be Healed. DES MOINES, la., May 20. (By the Associated Press.) Vice - President Coolidge arrived here today to ad dress a mass meeting sponsored by the board of education of the Pres byterian general assembly tomorrow evening at the coliseum. Abandoning earlier plans to travel by special train, the vice-president reached here on a day limited, hav ing left Chicago shortly before noon. He was accompanied only by B. F. Felt of Boston, a friend. Governor Kendall of Iowa, John P. Wallace, brother of the secretary of agriculture, and a small group of Presbyterian officials, welcomed Mr. Coolidge and escorted him to his hotel. After dinner he spoke briefly before a Presbyterian men's banquet which was going on at the same hotel. The invitation to speak, sent to the vice-president by Dr. Edgar P. Hill, general secretary of the Presbyterian board of education, requested him to talk on "Christian Education." No other speaking engagements have been made by him for his 36- hour stay here. I ommissioners this afternoon ex pressed pleasure at the news from the assembly of southern Presbyte rians, now meeting at Charleston, W. Va., which appeared to pave the way for closer relations and perhaps ultimate reunion between the two branches. Bodies Drawing Together. Efforts at reconciliation between the northern and southern Presbyte rians have been a recurring feature of each year's general assemblies. Since the split of the two elements, caused by the civil war, there has been a gradual, almost imperceptible, drawing together, especially during recent years, each year's efforts at a rapprochement falling just short of accomplishment. The moderator. Dr. C. C. Hays, was authorized today to send President Harding and members of congress copies or resolutions adopted yester day condemning laxity of law en forcement and disrespect for law. an attitude traced to widespread disre gard ror the prohibition amendment. Dr. Hays stated that reciprocal ac tion on the overture looking toward closer relations will be taken Mon day morning by the general assembly of the northern church. An effort to supplement the report of the committee on sabbath observ unce, which condemned Sunday golf, movies, baseball, airplane flights, window displays and all dispensable work, by a resolution frowning on Sunday automobile riding, was de feated by a scant margin. A plan for censorship of motion pic tures at the studio where they are produced, instead of at points in the various states, will be proposed by the motior. pictures subcommittee of the committee on Christian morals and reform at the Tuesday session, it was learned today. Hays Said to Have Failed. Since his installation as movie di rector. Will H. Hays, ex-postmaster-general, has failed signally in efforts to censor American cinemas, and to improve the moral tone of film actors and actresses, according to state ments made today by Rev. Gustave A. Briegleb, chairman of the sub committee. Paying a tribute to the honesty of Mr. Hays' intentions. Rev. Mr. Briegleb asserted that the movie situation had got out of the director's hands. He cited failure by Mr. Hays to take any action or issue any statement to date in the alleged bigamy charges m m m ;Ar KVWtCflQS.

"Will Hays has sold his birthright as a Presbyterian elder for a mess of motion picture pottage," the speaker declared. Briegleb, who has been ac tive in Hollywood moral crusades, since the Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle affair, asked why Mr. Hays has taken no action to ban Valentino film's, and films in which appear actresses whose night gowns, it has been al leged, were found in the home of William D. Taylor, the murdered movie director. EX-BANKERS ARRESTED ted for an hour with Mr. Gilbert, Mr. James and several motion picture people, Valentino handed a typewrit ten statement to newspaper men with the comment: "Gentlemen, I am at your mercy." The decision to issue the complaint hgainst Valentino was reached by Mr. Woolwine after considerable de liberation, he said, and after several consultations with his staff. The situation Is unusual, if not unique, in California criminal proceedings, in that the prosecution has been Insti tuted in a county where no overt act 01 the alleged felony took place. Law Violation Charged. The district attorney's contention is that the laws of California have been violated by the marriage at Mexican and subsequent residence in Riverside county, and that action could be un dertaken in any part of the state. It was brought out in the complaint that Valentino is a resident of Los Angeles County, and that the interlocutory decit granted his first wife was is sueu here. Deputy District Attorney McClelland said he thought these mislit turn out to be important points in the case. The district attorney also said he believed the question might be raised of whether a marriage outside the country could be bigamous under the California code. The code provides that Cic marriage "outside the state" of a ' person having a husband or wife living is bigamous, provided there shoul-! be subsequent residence within the state of the parties to such mar riage. Mr. Woolwine said he felt satisfied, however, that this would be held by the courts to cover marriages outsidt the United States. Three More Are Taken Following Probe by Grand Jury. FARGO, N. D., May 20.
