WARRENTON CITY
DWELLERS RESENT
PAPER'S ATTITUDE
W'arrenton, March 13. That clti-
lenn of Warrenton vigorously resent
the aspersions cast on the integrity
f the people Of this city through
articles published In the Portland
Telegram relative to the recent elec
tions, in the statement of City At
torney O. B. Setters and the War
renton News. They say the Port
land paper Insinuates that the city
Of Warrenton seeks to repudiate its
bonda, and that the Telegram arti
cles are ridden with gross misstate
ments of facts.
BESESIMK.VT IS 0ED
"There is a deep-rooted resentment In
Warrenton over the misHtatementB made
by the Portland Telegmm in articles
Concerning the recent bond elections,"
declared City Attorney Setters this
morning. "The paper puts Warrenton
in the liKht of seeking to repudiate her
thing that she is not willing to pay for.
and I am sure there is not one citizen
In this city thRt would consider repudi
ation of our bonds or any other just
debt."
"It would he difficult to crowd more
errors Into the same spare than ap
peared in the Telejram.' story," says
tlie Warrenl-on Tribune.
"The " first measure on the ballot
Tuesday provided for the ratification
of a bond issue of $350,000 and the cre
ation of a dock commission with power
to purchase land and, make improve
ments. Instead of being defeated. It was
carried by a substantial majority.
"The second was intended to ratify
the issue of 150.000 in bonds and the
purchase at a specified price of 100
acres of land on the sklpanon and Co
lumbia rivers. It was defeated. The
defeat, of the last measure does not
invalidato the bonds, but simply leaves
the matter to be decided by the district
Court in the case of the Spokane, Port
land & Seattle railroad company against
the city of Warrenton. If the election
of last November Is held to be legal,
the bond issue cannot be invalidated by
any action the city may take at an
flection.
STATEMENT TERMED MISLEADING
"The statement of the Telegram re
ferring to the repudiated Warrenton
issue,' Is misleading. The city has no
desire to repudiate its obligations and
no bond buyer will lose 1 cent, no
matter what may be the decision of
the courts. Kvery step in the election
last November was supervised and ap
proved by the" attorneys for Morris
Bros., who cooperated with the city of
Warrenton In all the legal steps leading
up to the election. Therefore, It appears
to a layman that, Insofar as the bond
brokers' profits from their sale to the
State treaturer are concerned, there will
bo no recourse anainft the city."

HAS FURIOUS FIGHT
FRAUD IS CHARGED IN
WOMAN'S SUIT AGAINST
SECURITIES COMPANY
Charging that at the time George
E?ntes, attorney, advised her to sell a
general warranty deed to the North
western Securities company for certain
property in Idaho, he was in reality
secretary-treasurer of that concern and
thus assisted In defrauding her, Natalie
V. Herding has filed suit in United
States district court against the North
western Securities company and J. W.
and W. B. Slick.
According to Mrs. Berding's complaint,
she sold certain property to J. W. and
W. B. Slick, later assigning similar
rights to the securities company on the
promise not to file a deed unless Bhe
advised that the Slicks could not com
plete purchase of the property.
But. she says, the securities company,
contrary to contract, filed the general
warranty doed she gave them, thus be
clouding the value of the land she had
sold to the Slicks.
f?he asks the court to restrain the
securities company from exercising any
rights in the property, damages for
their alleged action and decision as to
whom the property belongs and to whom
$40,000 now due and payable by the
Slicks should be paid.
manager, and J. W. Hall, assistant man
aKr. "So far as the Oregon district is con
cert. ed, it will go completely out of ex
istence," said Hall this morning-. ''Our
program is concluded here and there is
no necessity for maintaining headquar
ters here. Wentworth and myself will
conclude our services with the shipping
board with the removal and will likely
remain In Portland.
Next 1n importance will be the steel
ship construction division under Fred B.
Pape. manager. Pape said this morn
int that he had not learned definitely
when the removal would take place but
avowed positively that he would not
leave Portland.
REPAIR WORK AFFECTED
The repairs division, which has rap
Idly become a great asset to Portland
III keeping local shops and the Port of
Portland drydock busy will also be ef
fected. It is said that only minor re
pair work will be handled here In the
future.
C. D. Kennedy, manager of the local
division of operations, said this morn
ing -that the general removal May 1
would not effect his department, but
that It was possible that operation for
the Northwest would soon be centered in
Seattlo. Kennedy also said that he would
remain In 'Portland, no matter what the
shipping board decision was.
The national, policy of the shipping
board Is to consolidate departments and
reduce personnel, but local operators
of shipping board vqpsels will no,, doubt
dislike the new plan to center entire
control of the Northwestern district in
Seattle.

WITH POUCH;
IS SHOT IN HAND
When Patrolman W. A. Florence
accompanied Mrs. James Taylor to
her residence at East Seventy-third
and Glisan streets Friday night, to
protect her against her husband,
whom doctors in the emergency hos
pital pronounced insane, he encoun
tered the enraged husband and en
gaged him in a fistic encounter
which resftted In the firing of two
revolver shots,- one taking effect
In Taylor's hand and the other graz
ing his neck.
Mrs. Taylor, fearing vtolence, had fled
from home earlier in the day, taking
refuge at her brother-in-law's residence.
She called Florence there ' and he went
with her to her home to get clothing for
her child. .'
HITS PATROLMAN IN" FACE
Seeing the husband approaching the
house, Florence hurried out to meet him,
meeting him on the front porch. Flor
ence told him he was an officer, and
was drawing back his coat to reveal his
star, he said, when Taylor struck him
on the chin, shouting "he couldn't be ar
rested without a warrant."
Grappli..,. the officer forced Taylor
from the .i-:h, struggling and fighting
over the lawn and out Into the street.
Taylor managed to get a grip about
Florence's throat and backing him
against a telephone post, was pummeling
him in the face, when Florence drew his
revolver.
Grasping the end of the gun the hus
band tried to prevent its being fired,
but only managed to receive the bullet
In the third finger of his right hand.
The bullet broke the bone. The sec
ond shot was fired when Taylor threw
Florence down in the mud.
PEDE8TBIA TO THE RESCUE
A pedestrian came to Florence's as
sistance, but Taylor broke away, run
ning back into the house, where he was
later captured by a squad of emergency
patrolmen. Taylor was taken to the
emergency hospital where his wounds
were dressed. He was later placed in
the city jail on a charge of resisting an
officer. Florence's nose was broken.
Dr. Charles B. Zeebuyth, who had
been called by Mrs. Taylor Friday after
noon, was ordered out of the house by
Taylor, according to the story told the
polite. Taylor was released from the
state insane hospital at Salem three
years ago.

U. S. Officers Arrest
Bootblack Charged
With Selling Booze
Charles Fair, bootblack at the Golden
West hotel, played to bad luck Friday
night. He was arrested on a charge of
selling liquor.
Revenue officers the other night were
chatting in a darkened room at the
custom house, just across from the ho
tel, when they saw a taxicab drive up,
the chauffeur apparently buying liquor
from Fair.
Friday night the revenue men sent
a woman friend in a taxicab. while they
hid in the tonneau of a motor car near
by. They say Fair became suspicious
and looked in nearby cars. In fact, he
peered into the very car where two of
ficers were crouched.
"I think some officers are watching
me tonight." he is said to have told
their chauffeur.
Then he is alleged to have made the
sale anyway.

Winifree, divorcee, who robbed the
Aurora State bank at Aurora, 13
miles south of Oregon City, after
being detained at Sheriff Wilson's
home in this city for two days pend
ing the recovery of the money, while
her husband, P. H. Winifree, as an
accomplice, was detained at the
sheriff's office, were both given their
liberty this morning.
The action was taken on receipt of
word from Max Gehlhar, district attor
ney of Marion county, that he would
not attempt prosecution of either be
cause the bank officials would not make
a complaint, having recovered practi
cally every cent of the $6500 stolen by
the young woman while bM was tem
porarily employed there during the ill
ness of the cashier.
Both the woman and her former hus
band made full confessions and re
turned the money, with the exception
of about 1200, which Winlfree says he
will make good. Although he says he
has given his wife several chances to
stay at home while he works and makes
a good living for his family, he is still
willing to take his former wife back
again for the sake of his two little i
daughters, aged 7 and 9, in the hope
that all can forgive and forget and be
come useful citizens. The husband can
not read, and can only write his name,
and had depended much upon his wife
for enlightenment jpon these matters.
FORECAST; SEVEN
: SHORT TO RATIFY
By Li. C. Martin
Washington, March 13. (TJ. P.)
The vote on the Lodge substitute for
the reservation on Article X of the
League of Nations covenant is ex
pected to draw clearly the lines
which, will stand through the final
ratification vote. A Democratic poll
of the senate today forecast adoption
of the Lodge substitute by a safe
majority and the rejection of the
treaty on the final roll call.
Democratic senators favoring the
Lodge substitute said 40 votes would be
cast against ratification, or seven more
than enough to kill the treaty. It was
still uncertain today how many Demo
crats would vote to substitute Lodge's
new reservation for his original reserva
tion. Senator Simmons, leader of those
Democrats who are willing to accept a
"compromise,"1 is expected to announce
his position on the substitute in a speech.
Tbe assault of the "bitter enders." both
Republican and Democratic, was to con
tinue today with Senator Reed pointing
out what he considers the vital change
in principle which the Lodge substitute
makes. i

Labor leaders know the views of the workers as well as politicians know the wishes of theff
constituents, possibly better, for unionized labor makes its wants! known in no uncertain manner.
Consequently, when The Literary Digest wished to learn for its readers the attitude of the working
man regarding prohibition, inasmuch as we could not ask the individual union worker because there
are about four million of him, we asked their duly elected officials.
In this week's number of THE LITERARY DIGEST March 13 a summary of the very inter
esting replies is published. Approximately 30 per cent of the 526 replies of abor leaders inform us
that a poll was taken on the question at the regular meeting. Replies came from every State in the
Union, and they reflect a considerable sweep of opinion.
"Why don't you 'sick' the prohibitionists on the profiteers?"-; "No man has a right to dictate
to another whal he shall eat or drink, except the doctor"; "There have been more deaths and mur
ders in the period since prohibition went into effect than there were in the same period last year" are
a few of the many replies against prohibition. "Money which formerly bought whiskey is now buy
ing happiness for the workingman's family"; "Men have more of the good things in life since the
dry law went into effect"; "Since prohibition is in force, the wgrkers are capable of clearer thinking
and do more of it," are typical expressions from the many leaders; who favor prohibition.
If you would learn from first hand sources the real opinion of rhe workingman upon the subject
of prohibition, you will do well to read the LITERARY DIGEST this week.
