Stockholders Meet
To Arrange Affairs!
A meetltng of the stockholders of
the Coin Machine Manufacturing com
pany is being held at the plant this
afternoon at 984 East Seventeentn
street. According to the officials, the
call for the meeting names as the prin
cipal object the filling or the four va
cancies on the board of directors.
I Is reported that the other business
will Include the reduction of the capi
tal stock of the company, but no con
firmation of this could be obtained.
Hearing was begun by County Judge
Cleeton this morning on the action
brought to remove Coroner Darnmasch
as administrator of the estate of
Joseph M. Rothbauer, Portland gTocer,
who died March 29, leaving an estate
valued at about $10,000.
Attorney Joseph Woierndle, local
representative of the Austro-Hunga-rlan
consul at San Francisco, appeared
before the court to request the ap
pointment of C. T. Haas in place of
Darnmasch on the ground that the
coroner was not properly appointed as
administrator. He argued that under
treaty rights between this country and
Austria and other countries, In light
of the "favored nation cliause," repre
sentatives of foreign countries have
the right to act for their citizens.
Facta Are Considered.
L. E. Schmitt, attorney for Coroner
Darnmasch, demurred from Woerndle's
petition, but after listening to pre
liminary statements from both at
torneys, and from C. J. Stehnabel, who
previously petitioned to have two
friends of Rothbauer's appointed as ad
ministrators. Judge Cleeton stated that
he would not consider the demurrer
but facts.
He outlined the questions at Issue
as follows:
Was Rothbauer an Austrian subject?
Ir: the consul under treaty rights
entitled to ask for the appointment of
an administrator?
Woerndle offered two witnesses,
Hugo Tannenssee and Alexander
Schmitt. who testified that Rothbauer
had told them his home was in Vi
enna, Austria. He also Offered two
postcards postmarked from Austria,
which purported to be signed by rela
tives of the late grocer In Austria.
Attorney Schmitt in turn had Dr. E.
V. Sheafe, who attended Rothbauer in
his last Illness, on the stand. Dr.
Sheafe testified that ha had urged
Rothbauer to make a will when it be
came apparent that his end was near.
Befuaei to Make Will.
Rothbauer refused, he stated, and
declared that it was not necessary.
"I want you to pay the bills and send
the rest to my relatives. In Germany,"
he said to the physician, according to
Dr. Sheafe's testimony.
On the most minute cross-examination
from Attorney Woerndle thle
physician stuck to the assertion that
Rothbauer said Germany and not Aus
tria. Mr. Woerndle explained, how
ever, that Austrlans speak of. Germany
in a broad sense as covering the Teu
tonic countries.
Neither Scmidt nor Tannenssee were
able to recall ever hairing heard. Roth
bauer apeak of naturalization and ex
pressed the belief that in their ac
quaintance with him he had neer
voted.
All the witnesses told of Koth
bauer's speaking of a wife from whom
he was separated now living In CalK
fornia.
Searching-.for Heir.
"I expect to appear In this case for
a living heir," declared Attorney
Schnabel, when Schmitt questioned
bis right: to take part in the proceed
ings. "I leave for California tomorrow
night to look into the matter."
Dispatches from San Francisco to
day tell of a search being made there
for Dorothy Rothbauer, said to be a
daughter of the late grocer. She is
now said to be 'an actress and living
under a stage name.
The hearing was punctuated with
clashes between Attorneys Schmitt and
Schnabel, the former objecting con
tinuously to the tetter's appearance in
the matter.
Schnabel Takes fart.
Judge Cieeton permitted Mr. Schna
bel to take part in the proceedings.
however, because he represents two of
Rothbauer's friends, Tannenssee and
Schmidt.
Coroner Darnmasch was appointed
administrator of the estate on petitlor.
of Denutv Coroner Smith. Rothbauer
died March 29 and the administrator
was named April 1.
Mr. Schnabel and his clients ap
peared April 5 and the petition of
Woerndle was filed April 27.
Burden of the proof that Rothbauer
was an Austrian will be placed on
Attorney Woerndle as he raised the
point, arguing that Mr. Haas was more
competent to be appointed administra
tor than Dr. Darnmasch.
Judne Cleeton In outlining the law
Eovernine the issue stated that it was
assumed Rothbauer was a citizen of
the United States when the admin
istrator was appointed, and that if no
heirs appeared within 30 days, then it
was up to the court to decide what'
was best for the estate, tha continu-!
ance of Dr. Darnmasch or the ap
pointment of another as general ad
ministrator. Case Left Open.
He left the case open, declaring that
the evidence introduced that Roth
bauer was an Austrian was not con
clusive in face of the fact he had
sicken of his relatives in Germany to
one of the witnesses.
Mr. Woerndle will have opportunity
to introduce further evidence and Mr.
Schmitt was asked to controvert the
former's contention that under exist
ing treaty rights, representatives of a
foreign government can ask for the ap
pointment of an administrator.

FORESTRY SERVICE

NATIONAL
PARKS
Proposal for New National
Playground on Mt. Baker
Brings Out Controversy.
BUREAUS AT VARIANCE
Objection Made ao Strong: Against Bill
for Proposed Ht. Rood Park That
Measure Had to Be Withdrawn.
Washington, May 6. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL)
"National park against national for
est" fs a title that might be given to
the controversy that seems inevitable
over bills that have for their purpose
the establishing of new playgrounds
for the people in the great west.
It arose with considerable vigor
when a bill to create Mt. Hood na
tional park In Oregon was proposed.
That bill has never been Introduced,
because of the many objections that
came in, even after the original plan
was abandoned in favor of a detached
group of beauty spots of limited area.
Departments Take Sldea.
Just now the controversy centers
around the proposed Mt. Baker na
tional park, in western Washington,
. . . , , . i . i . i . t
wnien was ionea ! in a out imrv
duced by Representative Hadley of
that state. It develops that the de
partments of the Interior and of agri
culture are on opposite aides. Secre
tary Lane advises that the park be
created; Secretary Houston advises
against it.
From the comment offered by the
two departments on the Mt. lfaker
bill, it seems fairly certain that like
divergence will be found as to the
proposed Mt. McKinley park In Alaska,
and that "the original Mt. Hood park
bill, at least, would not have met
favor with the agriculture departments
although indorsed in advance by inter
ior department officials.
To Eliminate Private Holdings.
The Mt. Baker national park
bill, as first presented, provided for
an area of 303 square miles. Mr.
Hadley later asked the house com
mittee on public lands to change the
boundaries In such way as to reduce
the area to 256 square miles, with
the purpose of eliminating private hold
ings, certain water power sites and the
greater part of the merchantable tim
ber. '
The agricultural department, which,
of course, spoke for the forest service,
thus summarized its objections to the
bill:
"The bill under consideration pro
poses to take an integral part of an
existing national forest and transfer it
to another bureau in another depart
ment to be administered as a national
forest under the name of a national
park. This department believes that
the national forests should be adminis
tered by the forest service, and there
fore does not approve of the passage
of the bill."
This stands in sharp contrast with
the report made by Secretary Lane,
who suggested one slight amendment
and recommended that, as thus amend
ed, the bill "be enacted into law at the
earliest practicable date."
Forestry Service Bangs On.
Differences developed between the
departments on this bill, in connection
with the views expressed by Secre
taries Lane and Houston on the Cham
berlain land grant bill, are taken a
significant of a conflict of opinion that
is likely to be further manifested, due
to the fact that forestry offioiala do
not wish to ellnquih timbered lands
to any other form of reservation.
Promote of the Mount Baker park
plan described It as having a bewilder
ing variety of phenomenal characteris
tics, in some ways unrivaled in any of
me existing parks. They pointed out
that it la close to three railroads, that
62 square miles of the proposed park
comprise a region of perpetual snow,
43 square miles Include rocky forma
tion, and that 76 more square miles are
thinly forested "alpine slope." Two
live craters are given as among its dis.
tinctlve features.
Pnt Tourists First.
The park boosters argue that the
benefits to be derived from a stream
of tourists into what they term a nat-
wwnuciiua ur ouiwcicns me sum -.
that can be derived from the timber, v

nated.
There is no Indication, however, that
partment will be withdrawn, and th !i
bill seems at a standstill.

Parents Should Know
This Splendid Remedy
Simple Laxative Compound
Helps to Correct Consti
pation in Children. ,
With all children there are times
when the bowels fail to act naturally
and it becomes necessary for the par
ents to administer a remedy. Cathar
tics and purgatives should never be
used, as these agents afford only
temporary relief while their violent
action shocks the system unduly. Mrs.
Eva F. Gaff, 517 10th St., Washington,
D.. C. says that her little girl. Marie,
had been subject to constipation, and
that she found Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin the best remedy because of Its
mildness, and now always keeps a bot
tle of it in the house.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
compound of simple laxative herbs,
free from opiates or narcotic drugs of
any kind, and i? an ideal remedy for
children because of its mild action and
positive effect. Its use tends to
strengthen the impaired bowel action
and restore normal regularity.
It is Important that parents should
know of a dependable remedy with no
unpleasant after effects, griping or
