IS GRACE D NELL mm BACK FOR A GAY TIME? Her Victim Is an Anthony, Too Not Mark,, but Anthony Do lexki, a Worker in Shipyards. WANT AD IS HER WILES Her Spell Broken, Comely Ad venturess Is in County Jail Awaiting; Trial as Bigamist. DAUGHTER OF NILE IN TOILS Are the, lotus-8eented banks of the Hilvery Nile nni the romantic at- moBphere of Cleopatra's ancient do main In any way responsible for the remarkable and astounding euccess alleged to have attended the matri monial ventures of Mrs. Gertrude Da Snell? . She is the wife of Oeorge Dp Knell, wealthy Butte. Mont., archi tect, and in now in the Multnomah county Jail. It may be. for Mrs. Dc Snell was born in Egypt. It is posBiblc that the sirts and wiles that encompastted the downfall of Marc Antony of Home, have transcended to the present generation. Anthony Doleckl of Portland. latest victim of the charms of Mfs. De Knell, unhesitatingly admit that he fll victim to her attack via the matrimonial want ad route. Lacking the gorReous settings that enhanced the person of her famous predecessor, un able to recline upon regally appointed burses, the modern descendant of an cient EKypt has been in no wise a fail ure, according to the information that icraces police records up and down the I'acific coast. DOl.ECKI ASSWKBH AD With as many names as there are articles to' the League of Nations cove nant, Mrs. De Snell's alleged mode of operations Is simple to the initiated. In " her most recent marriage in Portland, which came to grief for her when the victim complained, the acquaintance was formed through a want ad. Anthony Doleckl, a Portland shipyard worker, answered the ad. It was signed by K. Marie 'Overton and stated that the party advertising was' an all around business woman, making $173 a month and with 117,000 in the bank. Love and companionship were sought, read the ad, and applicants were in formed that they need not necessarily be wealthy. " After a correspondence lasting a few months. Mrs. Ie Snell appeared in Port land, and on March 4 she and Doleckl were wed In Vancouver, his complaint avers. On March 5 Doleckl returned from work to learn that his bride had departed for Seattle to "nurse a dying sister" and that approximately $500 in cash and War Savings Stamps had gone with her. It was the hist he saw of his wife. HAD MA XT NAMES On the records of the police depart ment in San Francisco it is inscribed that on July 20, 1912. T. J. Wright, a mining man, appeared, bemoaning the mysterious departure of hla newly wedded bride and $2595 in cash. A war rant was Issued charging -larceny and Mrs. Gertrude DeSnell was arrested the follow ing day. A list of aliases oh the record there shows that the prisoner, at one time or another, used the names, Stella Webb, Stella Cameron, Gertrude De V'alle, Grace De Louise and Grace Blond. Marriage registers in Montana, 'Washington and California furnish the additional names of Mrs. Gertrude Wright, Mrs. Gertrude De Snell and Mrs. Gertrude Doleckl. After being in jail for six months the superior court of San Francisco released Mrs. De Snell on probation. Arrest of Mrs. De Snell on the indict ment returned by the Multnomah county grand jury occurred two weks, ago at Butte, Mont. Matron Edna Dobbins was sent there from Portland to bring her back. On her arrival an attempt was made to have Mrs. De Snell declared . Insane, to prevent extradition. It failed, however, as did a later attempt before the governor of the state to pre vent her return. PRISONER REMAINS SILENT The prisoner is said to be 53 years of age, with blue eyes and dark hair. She has maintained a stubborn silence since heF arrival here, with the exception of her contention that she has never been to Portland before. De Snell Is said to be a prominent architect in Butte and a member of the state architectural commission. It is expected that a plea of insanity will be offered in defense to the indictments.

G. Jackson, in charge of educational cooperation work of ftie forest service. Jackson, accompanied by C. A. Lindstrom of Washington, D. C. motored to Salem Friday and found the roads far from good. "In going down I took the advice of the Oregon Motor association' said Jackson, "and followed the east ide of th river on th Pacific hlirnway. livery little ways I found a barb wire across the road, and had to detour. Coming back I followed along about a mile from the river, passing through St Paul to Newberg and then into Portland. This way 1 found to be fairly good." Kooms will be scarce in Salem during the fair, said Jackson, and private homes will have to be resorted to to care for the crowd. On Friday the Salem hotels had quit taking reservations, and Jack son had to engage rooms in a private residence.

My Special 960 and $100 Diamond Rlngi Hate No Equal Accommodations for Girls Badly Needed At University of .0. i The administration of the State uni-' verslty has announced that owing to the large number of girls who have regis tered, especially the unexpected number of freshmen, the university will, have to call on the sororities and clubs, as In the past, to assist In housing this enter ing class. It is the policy of Oregon university to take are of all freshmen girls on the campus under direct university super vision. To this plan the sorority groups have acquiesced, though in many cases it means financial hardship. At the State university the housing fa cilities are never adequate, and the fra ternity system has arisen out of the necessity of the students to make homes for themselves. At Eugene thlB year there is accommodation for only 180 gjrls on the campus, including the quar ters at Hendricks Hall and two large . dwellings near by that have been rented as annexes. Nearly 300 girls have asked the university for shelter, so the author ities are obliged to turn for help, as they have so often done before, to the soror 'itles and they ask them to fill their houses to capacity. The total enroll ment of girls will be about 600 this year. In the near future the state will be called on to furnish the University of Oregon with at least one more women's hall- of residence.
