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,

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

lently done.' A Nestor comedy, "They
Were Heroes," completes a good bill.

NEW SCHOOL LAW
' CANT BE FOLLOWED
AT THIS ELEClft
Old Requirements Will Have
to Be the Rule in Some
Respects.
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. :

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

ish and game commission,; ofj Pendle

- 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

the strongest possibilities, although

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. "Son of the Dog " Is an
