PRESENT BONUSES
$700,000 GIFT IS
ATTACKED; HEIRS
T IUI V 111
Through a civil guit filed Friday
in the United States - district court
the 15 nearest of kin to the late Dr.
Bernard Daly, of Lake county seek
to break his will giving; a $700,80
trust fund te promote education in
Oregon, The money was given y
Dr, Daly to provide each year a
college education for worthy. Lake
county young people, whose financial
circumstances prevent; them from
completing their education. ;
The suit is brought en. the technical
grounds that the will was not made out
to any individual or organization, and
therefore is null and void.
TRUST IS ATTACKED J v j
Dr. Daly, who died recently, created In
his will a' trust fund of his wealth, the
interest of which was to be used in"
sending Lake county young people to
Oregon institutions of higher learning.
As Lake county is sparsely populated
the revenue from the fund .will probably
educate for some time all young folks in
the county who cannot pay their own
way through college. At the present
time not more than 15 youths from the
county are seeking higher educational
advantages each year.
P. L. Campbell, president of the Uni
versity of Oregon ; W. J. Kerr, president
of the Oregon Agricultural college; and
three directors of the Lake Tie w bank,
W. D. Heryford, J. D. Heryford and
Fred Bey nolds, were appointed trustees
to administer the fund and select the
worthy students each year. The suit is
brought against them as trustees. They
also pray the court to enjoin the trustees
from further administering any of the
funds, - ..-.,.
TAXES ARE IJTVOLVEB
The fund is already in a litigation
over inheritance taxes, and has therefore
not been available for educational pur
poses. The government seeks inherit
ance taxes in two suits of i 180,000 and
130.000. -
The suit is brought for the relatives,
who are scattered about in Europe from
Italy to Ireland, by the law. firm of
Veax!e'& Veazie of Portland, and two
Eastern legal firms. Relatives contest
ing the will are: Hugh Daly, James J.
Daly, Rosetta Daly Dubby, Edward
Daly, Minnie Daly Damore, Bridget Daly
Deader, John Daly, Hannah Daly Mack
lin, Margaret Mullen Haire, James Daly,
Patrick Daly, Mary Daly, and Ed
ward Daly. ,
Manager Ely of Hip
Provides Christmas
Cheer for Thespians
For .two score of stage folk j and 30
theater attaches Christmas was made
merrier at the midnight hour when W.
W. Ely, manager of the Hippodrome,
gave a reception, dinner and dance in
the Peacock room of the Multnomah
hotel to all working at his house this
week. '.' ' '
Christmas cheer was abundant and
comedian, chorus girl, orchestra leader
and usher joined in . the spirit of the
evening with a will. The reception
started at 11 o'clock and lasted 'well
into the morning hours, most of the
guests later joining the reception given
stage folk by Eric V. Hau'ser.
Music was provided for the guests of
Ely in the ball room adjoining the Pea
cock room and between soup and fish,
fish and turkey and turkey and a demi
tasse, some new dances were originated.
The pet of the evening was- the French
girl in the "Overseas Revue." All looked
to her for a lead in the merry making.
Manager Ely himself was here, there
and everywhere, solicitous for the conv
fort aqd care of his guests.
A poll of the 15 members of the
"Overseas Revue" was taken by Blanche
Lateli and a vote of thanks was given
to Ely. One actresa, who had been
doing vaudeville time for many years,"
said that the reception made the best
Christmas eve she had had since the
beginning of her stage career. '
Accused Allowed
To Spend Holiday
With Wife, Family
f M -Win " .
All day long, the day before Christ
mas, in the corridor of thes municipal
court, a mother and four children, the
oldest just turned 7, lingered, wait
ing and watching the swinging doors to
the big crowded room where the court
was grinding its dally grist.
The mother Was silent and the three
sat subdued on the bottom step of the
stairs that led to the jail above. The
baby, in its perambulator, laughingly
kicked its tiny heels at the dim lights
above. The tot did not know Christmas
was near probably a Christmas with
out "daddy" this time. , .
In the prisoner's box' sat the father
of the four waiting children with their
patient mother. Frank Ewing was
charged with passing half a dozen al
leged worthless checks. Late in the
afternoon he was called before Judge
Rossman. '
The deputy district attorney told the
court of the forlorn little family Wait
ing in the corridor. Ewipg was allowed
to go home for Christmas With his wife
jA children. Released on his own rec
ognizance, he was Instructed to return
to . the court Monday, when he will be
tried on the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses'.

countries,", a ruddy blaie glowed in the
fireplace, and Miss Jessie Millard played

BARBED WIRE USED
. Trieste, Dec. 25. (U. P.) The
city of Flume was completely iso
lated today as a result of conflict
between Gabriele d'Annunzio and
the' Italian government over the
treaty of Rapallo.
All roads and paths fo Flume were
closed and heavily guarded by regular
troops, the heights being guarded , by
carabiniers. Royal guards formed a
cordon around the ctiy, except for a
brief sea space, v Trenches Were dug at
many points and barbed wire was set
up, closing all roads. "
MIXING OF FIUME PORT IS
CONSIDERED AS-PEPENSE
By Camlllo Ciaafarra
Rome. Dec. 25. (U. P-i Followers of
Gabriele d'Annunzio, who are holding
Flume against Italian troops, are di
vided on whether to continue resistance,
according to advices from the beleag
uered city today.
The population still hopes bloodshed
will be averted. Several clashes have
occurred between the poet's forces and
the Italian regulars, but so far casual
ties have been few. Many of the legion
naires favor . only passive resistance,
others are still faithful to d'Annunzio
and determined to fight.
D'Annunzio is on duty with his troops
night and day. He is surrounded by
guards. Refugees from the city re
ported that a plan for mining the port
and blowing up Italian warships if they
endeavored to force an entrance was
being considered. The legionnaires are
concentrating at strategic points around
the borders of the territory held by
d'Anaunzio. They are well armed with
machine guns. -

OVER CUSTODY OF
GIRL POSTPONED
Final disposition by the court as
to the custody of 13-year-old Jose
phine Bertha Baker whether she
shall be'given to her mother or to
Mr and " Mrs. Franc Nelson has
been, postponed by Cireult Judge Mo
Court until February. Meanwhile
the girl will stay with the Nelsons
and continue her school work.
This announcement was made by
Judge MoCourt Friday afternoon, after
much of the day had been given to at
tempts to reach a compromise by which
the contending parties might agree that
the Nelsons should have the girl during
the school months and she should be
with her mother in California during
vacations. -
However, a telegram received by Judge
McCourt during the day from a proba
tion officer at Stockton, CaL, the home
of Mrs. Nora Alice Baker 'Kelly, set forth
thatfthe Kelly's home was in a lodg
ing house where Mexicans and Japanese
were quartered and that conditions there
were not such as should be used for the
home of a young girl and that Kelly
himself stated he was uncertain whether
he and Mrs. Kelly would again live to
gether.
In the face of this situation. Judge Mc
Court advised Mrs. Kelly to return to
Stockton and see that a suitable home is
provided in case he decided' to give Jose
phine Bertha into the custody of her
mother during the vacation period. He
stated that under no conditions would be
consent to the girl being taken to a
rooming hoilse for a home when she has
a good home with the Nelsons, and he
also indicated that he believes the NelT
sons are better equipped to provide for
the education of the girl than is her own
mother, and should supervise her school
ing until she completes the grammar
grades.

Margaret Thomas, aged 12, daugh
ter of Ben Thomas of Hillsboro,
was instantly killed in the Joyous
hours of Christmas eve, as a result
of an automobile being ditched a
mile south of Hillsboro Friday night.
Thomas and his daughter had gone

to make Christmas purchases. Return

hitting a truck and crashed over. .
Neither truck carried lights.
Theatrical People
Christmas Guests ;
Of Eric, V. Hauser
Happiness reigned In the grand ball
room of the Multnomah hotel after the
theatres closed Friday night. Eric V.
Hauser, who had conceived the idea that
actors are as lonesome away from home
as other folk, had invited all the visit
ing entertainers that they might vary
their usual role and be entertained.
That they were entertained was noted
from the fact that it was around 4 a. m.
when the Christmas party broke up.
In the center of the big ballroom was
a huge Christmas tree bedecked with
lights and spangles. Under it were
.boxes and barrels tilled with gifts for
the stage folk, and on the platform was
an orchestra that seemed filled with the
spirit of jazs. In an adjoining room, sup
per was served throughout the evening
and a capacious punch bowl was kept
.flowing. '
A group of choir boys sang Christmas
carols during the interval of dancing
and a quartet sang a Christmas anthem
and other carols. Dancing kept the feet
busy, while something was constantly
going on to keep merry laughter ring
ing. Santa Claus appeared at about 2
.o'clock and passed out the presents, slipping-
unexpected "candy canes" also to
tho host and members of the Multnomah
hotel staff.
Walter Jenkins of Commnnity Service
kept : the crowd singing between the
dances and no one's voice was silent.
Actors from all the theatres attended
and made up a throng pf several hun
dred persons who congratulated Hauser
on The thoroughness of his entertain
ment. To prevent grade crossing accidents a
Chicago man has invented a flexible gate
to stop vehicles without wrecking them
as probable with a rigid gate.
GIRL KILLED WHEN
We wish our friends and
patrons the merriest of
Christmases and hope that
the New Year will bring .a
full -measure of happiness
and prosperity.

the bar two email glasses containing

officer were purchasers, ,
"Not so bad," nodded Flegel, smacking
his lips, then turning to the Idle Hour
proprietors, 3. W. Chandler and H..W,
McNnabb, he said: "
"You are arrested for violating the
federal prohibition act."

coats and hats for a trip to the United.

"Right-o," replied the genial assistant
United States attorney as he poured four

Rigid Requirements
Covering Divorces
Willi Be Proposed
More stringent requirement for se
curing divorce and proposed changes in
the prohibition laws will be the main
subjects for discussion at the meeting
of the state association of district at
torneys which will be held in Plstrlct
Attorney Evans' offices January IS and
14. - ' ' - - 1
There is a growing- sentiment, says
Evana, for the adoption of a law that
would permit divorce only for the com
mitting of a statutory offense, and for
provisions that would prohibit the di
vorced parties from remarrying. Were
this last provision in effect, Kvans be
lieves, the number of divorces in Ore
gon would be very materially reduced.
He also favors a provision that would
require the offending party in a divorce
to give bond for the support of the chil
dren until they have reached a self-
supporting age. I ' ...
