WHITE APPOINTMENT ; IS CONDEMNED BY INENTYi PROM (OMEN Temperamentally Incompe tent, to Conduct Institution as Fraser Home, Is Claim. MAN PERSONALLY GOOD Oomp IjOj 1 it Had By All Xa Frantically All u to Unfitness of Appoint Satft-4VtrTte, recently appointea ior a second time superintendent of the Frwier ! Detention Home, la temper mentally unfit to manage mich an in stitution, in the opinion of several member, of the advisory committee that Investigated conditions at ; the home about a year ago, when White was superintendent. Eleven of Portland's most promi nent women were members of tins committee and their investigations showed the home to be in an unsat isfactory condition. ' They, had no fault to find. with Mr. White personally, but the committee was unanimous in the opinion that he was not temperamentally fitted ror such a position and was not compe tent to handle the institution. An effort was made to get a meet ing of the committee yesterday morn .ing to consider the matter, but it was found . Impossible to get. the members together on such short notice. Previous Work Criticised. "After, a number' of women have given of their time in an effort to improve conditions at the detention .home, it is very sad to think that the institution is to be placed in in competent hands again," said Mrs. W U. Fechheimer, a member of the committee. "Mr. White is not com ' petent He is not suited to handling ' children. I cannot understand his ap ; pointment, unless it is due to politi- cal Influence." , White resigned as head of the in i stltutlon a little less than a year ago, after his work had been criticised by the committee. Through the efforts of the committee Miss Van Waters, a trained worker in institutional work, i was brought from the east to. take t the position of superintendent. Her work was declared to be very satis factory, but two or three months ago her health broke .down and she was compelled to give up the work. '"Mr. White is not a man who can run an institution of that kind," de clared Mrs. V. ii. Kamm. "It is too big a job for him, and he is not fitted ior tnai Kina 01 worn, a uopo juujs Cleeton- will reconsider the appoint ment" Miss Valentine Prltchard was chair man of the committee. She said she would rather see the institution ban- doned ' than have it conducted as it has been in the past.- She said con ditions have been serious at the home for a number of years. She said there "was not proper equipment in ths first place, not. enough, beds, not proper . segregation of delinquent and depen dent children. '"'Wer Oood People. "Although Mr. and Mrs. White were incompetent, they were very good peo ple," said Mrs. R. E. Bondurant. "I stood loyally by them during their administration. But they wer dis loyal, to the county commissioners and to Judge Gatens. What assurances has Judge Cleeton that they will be loyal to him?" . ! y Mrs. C, W. Hay hurst, another mem ber of the committee, spokts very highly f the work of Mrs. White, but aid the personality of Mr. White un fitted him for work as superintendent of an' institution for children. 1 She said Mrs. White was a capable worker. "Mr: White is not qualified by tem ' perament or training for the place," said Mrs. - A. L. Veazie. "He was in poor health and very nervous. So far as . I know the committee was unani mous in the opinion that he was not V-ompetent." Other members of the committee were Mrs. W. 'B. Ayer, Mrs. Helen x-auu oroett. Airs. Harriett McArthur, Mrs. J. ; P. O'Brien and Mrs. Ben Selling. departure are shown, as well as some of her noted passengers on board, among them Charles Frohmaiv In con trast are ! the pictures of submarines. The Paramount travel men have now reached Key West on their Journey, to South America, and this Installment of the series is all in that vicinity. If Clyde Fitch had not written "The Moth and the Flame." It would be called melodrama, and it truly is just that. But the old play holds up well and makes a fairly interesting feature that Is splendidly produced and well acted. "The wedding scene is excel lently done.' A Nestor comedy, "They Were Heroes," completes a good bill. Umatilla Picnic Set. Freewater. Or., May 21.

As the Impossible cannot be expect ed in connection with an election. At torneys Nicholas & McCov have ad vised School Clerk Thomas thatseer tain provisions of the new law gov erning, school elections will have to be Ignored at the election to be held June 19. .This provision Is to the effect that when voters register they must state whether or not they are taxpayers. Only taxpayers are eligible to vote -at & . school election. The law further provides that the registration bocks shall be delivered to the election offi cials in the various precincts for the school election and be used the same as in other elections. . This caused the question to be raised as to What procedure should be adopted for the school election June 1 9, ast he registration books do not show who are taxpayers, and registra tion time is past. The board's attor neys advised Clerk Thomas that the school election should proceed as in the past- The election officials' can! ask the voters If they are ' taxpayers. If doubt exists the. voters may be re quired to make an affidavit that they are taxpayers. In past school elections a citizen taxpayer could vote at any polling place in the district, tut at the forth coming election all must vote In the precincts in which they are registered The school board is given ; authority, however, to group precincts according to convenience and have but one poll ing placa for each group of precincts. When the new laws go Into effect the corrupt practices act will also ap ply to school ejections. : Accordion Players Favorites at Lyric The De Monte brothers, with their accordions, are favorites in the bill which opened at. the Lyric yesterday for the half week, ending Saturday night. One has a chromatic and the other a piano accordion, and both know how to use them. : .. I . - Marks and Venner. with their act, "The Rag Time Model-Girl," had part of the audience guessing, and the other part completely fooled. They sing, and at the end off comes Ven ner's wig.

AND NEWJSTATE FISH GAME COWIMISS TO MEET WEDNESDAY IS Appointment of Wardens arid Secretary' Among First Things to Be Undertaken, The first ' meetlntr of the new state fish and game commission will be held in Salem next Wednesday. Notices of the meeting have been sent to the members, who have been appointed by Governor Wlthycombe. One of the first things to be taken up, it is expected, will be the appoint mens oi a ; state game warden and a master fish warden and a secretary of me commission. - Under the new law Governor Withy combe wOl be . chairman of the com mission. The other four members are I. N. Flelschner and Frank Warren of Portland, Marion Jack of Pendleton. ana u. m. stone or Klamath Falls. . Prediction la made in interested clr clea that R. E. Clan ton. the present master fish warden, will be retained in that position, but there appears to be more uncertainty and more of a scram ble for; the position of state game warden, as it la considered a foregone conclusion that W. L. Finley, the pres ent.' game warden, will be appointed state biologist, a position newly cre &td bv th law. I" For state game - warden the appli cants include Ralph Ewing of Med f ord, Ed Morgan of Gaston, C K. f!ranston, formerly president of the ish and game commission,; ofj Pendle ton; F. M. Brown of BrownsvITie, A. IL Lea. J. K. Cullison and I P. Q. Quimby of Portland. - As two of the members of the eom njlssion come from Multnomah county and it appears probable that the mas ter fish . warden and state biologist will be appointed f rom . lortland, the argument Is being. made that the state game warden should be appointed from one of the applicants outKide of Mult nomah. Ewlng is consideredk one ol! the strongest possibilities, although some of Lea's friends think he haa the Inside track With the governor. There are several applicants for man-ter-flh warden, among them being It. L. Adams, a brother -of City Treas urer William Adams and C. P. Hunt fey of Oregon City. Building at Albany. Albany, Of4 May 51. That Albany will soon have another large, depart ment store, .one that will occupy the lot made vacant by the burning of the Hamilton store last February, was Intimated today by Dr. J. P. Wrallaco, owner of the property on Firr ulroet, which is now being excavad. ' II said that he would know in a week what kind of build mg he would put up arid who it would be built for. Two well known authorities on the raising of China pheasants have have joined the Pheasants' Albany's march ing club. They are Gene .Simpson, manager of the state game farm near Corvallis, and J. W. Dodge, also of near Corvallis, who makes a business of raising pheasants. Saturday, May 29, Is the date no lected for Albany's next public sales day. A."-. Lb' Fisher, chairman of the Committee in charge, today said that he expects a big list of stock will be offered at this sale. ' The Albany Pheasants hav been in vited to attend the Lebanon Strawber ry Fair" on May VI and J8 and will probably accept. If ao, it will be the Pheasants' first appearance at a. .cele bration of this kind in uniforms. ' Comedy Feature at Sunset This Week Aside from the Keystone comedy, the picture that probably will prove most interesting at the Sunset is "Shorty's Trouble Sleep," a broncho western Of cowboys and holdup men. One of the funniest scenes is the work of the eastern pool shark. Shorty's ride in the prairie schooner and his fight with the robbers are situations filled with' laughs. "Gussle! Rivals Jonah" is the Keystone, and the title suggests that it concerns itself with the water and much that is connected with it. 'There are some very funny scen.es. Syd Chaplin and his company are rapidly forging ahead as favorites in their Gussle stories. "The ' Come back" is a two part Majestic drama which Is frankly melodramatic in it plot, that culminates as all melodra mas should, with a victorious hero and heroine.
