Clubs Meet in June.
The national council of the General
Federation of Women'B Clubs will
meet In Portland next June, says the
Oregonian. News to this effect was
received by Mrs. Sarah A. Evans,
president of the Oregon Federation
of Women's Clubs, to whom a tele
scram waB sent by Mrs. Eugene Reil-
ley, corresponding secretary of the
Cteneral Federation. ,
At the national board meeting In
Atlantic City it was unanimously vot
ed to hold the important convention
f next year In Portland. Mrs. Percy
Fennybacker presided. Jacksonville,
Fla., had applied for the meeting, but
the claims of the west were too strong
tor the opposition.
The Oregon Federation of Women's
Clubs will entertain the visitors with
the Portland clubs as hostesses. It
is estimated that 1,000 clubwomen
will attend.
Airs. Evans, to whom her colleagues
are giving credit for securing this
eoirventlon, has been working on the
plan for five years and has had the
backing of all the federation officers
of the state, who regard the choice
of the national board as a great trt
nmph for the west.

Eugene High
Adopts Dancing
Not the mere development of mus
cle, but the development of poise and
grace, is the aim of a new course of
physical culture to be introduced this
year in the Eugene high school, says
the Portland Oregonian.
In adopting the La Gal system of
gymnastic technique for girls, the Kv
gene high school stands with the Uni
versity of California and the Univers
Ity of Oregon as the first institutions
to abandon the Chaliff system, that
of the New York Instructor whose
movementr. have almost been made
standard hi schools all over the na
tlon, and Instead adopt a French
method. The aim is to develop along
architectural lines, and is based upon
rhythm in movement and interpreta
tion of motion.
Dancing, but not social dances, will
be required of every freshman girl
for this year for the first time physl
cal culture has been made compulsory
with all freshmen girls. In this stand
the Eugene high school is leading
schools of the state.
Miss Mildred Bagley, instructor in
physical culture at the high school
who returne da few days ago from
Berkeley, studied during the summer
under M'lle La Gal, brought from
Paris to this county by the University
of California. With her she brought
plans for the development of the new
system of physical culture for the
high school girls.
The new system will not wholly
, abandon the Swedish exercises for the
substitution of those based upon the
ballet dance, but the two are com
blned. One-third of the time will be
devoted to aesthetic dancing, one'
third will be given to the formal
Swedish exercises such as the wand
and Indian club drills, the use o
dumbbells and fencing, and one-third
will be devoted to folk dancing and
games, which will include basketball
tennis and military marching.

Hi
The probability that W. Frank
Arant may be reinstated as superin
tendent of Crater Lake national park
and be able to collect from the In
terior Department back salary since
uly 20. 1913, is shown in the copy
of a decision by the National Civil
Service Reform League, received by
Mr. Arant, says the Klamath Falls
Northwestern.
Superintendent Arant was re
moved as park superintendent by
force by United States Marshal Les-
ie Scott and Will G. Steel was
placed in charge. In May Mr. Arant
received notice from Secretary of the
nterior Lane to tender his resigna
tion. This was pointedly refused.
Then a telegram came from Mr. Lane
telling the superintendent that he
had been summarily removed and for
him to turn the office headquarters
and park paraphernalia over to Steel.
This telegram was Ignored. June 19,
913, United States Marshal Scott
and Steel arrived at the headquarters
and the officer informed Mr. Arunt
he had come to forcibly eject him
(Arant) unless he left the head
quarters without force. The follow-
ng day the officer took forcible pos
session and placed Steel In charge.
Superintendent Arant protested
and filed coniplaint with the Civil
Service Board, claiming that he had
been removed without cause and ask
ing that he be given a hearing. The
board held that he was under civil
service rules and could not be re
moved without cause. Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds ruled against the
board and it was after this ruling
that Arant was removed.
Superintendent Arant then took
the matter up through Binger Her
mann, who took the facts in the case
to the National Civil Service Reform
League and his telegram calling at
tention to the decision says:
"Good news just received. De
cision National Civil Service Reform
League of New York city, reviewing
your case and quoting the late At
torney General Bonaparte id' a simi
lar case, received. .'
"The league law committee of emi
nent lawyers of national reputation
(among them the ex-attorney gen
eral) now unanimously overrule ihe
present attorney general's office and
Assistant Attorney General Harp in
justifying Secretary Lane in yourre
moval, claimed to have been his arbi
trary right. ; , j. i. :
, "You are now held to have been
a full civil sen ice official with com
plete protection of the civil service
regulations, and your removal, ac
cording to the league's attorneys, was
Illegal and in violation thereof and
of the classified service and of the
laws of the United States." ',.
"This decision upholds the conten
tlon I have made since my removal,"
said Superintendent Arant, "as iSttfy
always sure I was right in the prem
ises and that I was illegally re
moved,"
Just what future steps will be tak
en In the matter is not foretold.
While the ruling of the league does
not override the order of the Secre
tary of the Interior, It has usually
been the object of this body to look
Into just such cases as that of Mr
Arant'B and see that justice is done.
If it takes the matter direct to the
powers that be and demand that right
prevails, under the law. It is very
likely that Mr. Arant will not only
be reinstated as park superintendent
but his salary for the entire time he
has not been acting superintendent
will be coming to him. ,
Chief Porter has succeeded In
rounding up some evidence which will
no doubt lead to the future capture
of the perpetrators of the most horri
ble crime committed for years on the
coast. He has found a young man
who- knows a great deal about the
crime and those Implicated.
The crime referred to occurred at
Livermore, Cal., on August 4. A
young unidentified tramp was found
in the upper story of a tank house
in one of the grape vineyards near
Livermore, horribly mutilated. His
head was well nigh cut off, he was
nude, his arms and body were sliced
again and again. The killing was too
horrible to bear the enumeration of
the different wounds he had Inflicted
upon him. The Livermore police be
lieved he has been used as a "punk"
(tool) for some hoboes, and upon his
threatening to tell on them had killed
him in vengeance. They have been
able to find no clue whatsoever, up
to the time Chief Porter hade his
find.
Porter found this young man by
hearing him talking to some others
about what he knew concerning this
crime committed near Livermore. He
immediately put questions to the boy
and then later received some valuable
information from him. The young
man has been a professional tramp
but is at present in the city.
The boy tells that he was at that
time hoboing his way and the night
of August 3 fell in with a bunch of
drunken hoboes "Seattle Blackie,"
an Indian, and' the slain man. He
himself was with a hobo who went
by the name of "Frisco Blackie."
They camped by a vineyard near
Livermore. During the early part of
the evening, so his story runs, Seattle
Blackie went to town to get some
supplies, and left the rest in the
camp. When night began to fall tne
Indian suggested to the man who was
later killed that they go over in the
vineyard to sleep, and this they did.
The last, the boy says, he saw of the
dead man was when 'he was asleep In
the vineyard, he having gone in to
see how good a place it was for slum
ber. Later, after Seattle Blackie had
returned from town, the Indian came
out of the vineyard, and upon being
queried by the former as to the
whereabouts of the other of the trio.
the Indian replied In an evasive matt'
ner that he guessed he was asleep.'
All suspected something had hap
peried as the Indian was covered with
blood. The hoy and "Frisco Blackie,
suspecting there had been trouble,
Immediately pulled up for the south
and started on on, leaving the two
men behind them. They did not want
to become Implicated in any investiga
tion, if there had been any crime.
The other gang was bound for Butte,
Mont.
- The authorities found a razor by
the body, and the boy said that the
Indian carried one with him as he
had seen it in his shirt. He recog
nlzed a phoptograph sent by the Liv
ermore sheriff as being the dead man
His evidence, as stated to the chief
of police, throws the first light upon
the mystery.

Arnold Daly, one 0 the foremost stars of the modern stage,
famed as an exponent of the "intellectual" drama, makes his first
appearance in motion pictures in "The Port of Missing Men," that
popular story of foreign intrigue and romantic adventure by the
famous novelist, Meredith Nicholson. Mr. Daly's subtle delineation
of character and his delicate artistry have earned him a host of
admirers throughout the world. Those who remember his polished
and precise portrayal of Napoleon In Bernard Shaw's "Man of Des
tiny" will quickly resognize his special fitness for the role of John
Armitage. the clever and daring subject of a mythical kingdom, who
comes to the United Sutes and becomes imbued with the spirit of
American democracy, and who later outwits the spies of his coun
try's enemies, does great service for the empire, and yet remains
loyal to his adopted country, America, also showing himself no un
skilled adept at the art of love-making. But his labors are not in
vain, and in the end he sets Frederick upon the throne, becoming
once more an American gentleman of private life, and triumphantly
claiming his American sweetheart, whom he prefers to the foreign
titles which are offered him.
