FRIDAY, MARCH 25. 1921. THE I OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND,! OREGON A. FRED MORRIS FILES DEMURRER TO TV0 LARCENY CHARGES Fred S. Morris, founder of the de funct house of Morris Brothers, Inc.. Thursday filed demurrer in the circuit court to two indictments in which he la charged with larceny by embezzlement. He set up .many technical objections to the form and scope of the indictments. Judge Kavanautth ordered attorneys to appear next Thursday at 2 p. m. for arguments on the demurrer. This demurrer was filed immediately after Etherldge and Mrs. Ktheridge had appeared for arraignment on other in dictments figuring' in the collapse of the bond house. , They were given until next Tuesday at 2 p. m. to enter their '. pleas. Forbes R. Pratt, another asso ciate of the bond house at the time of its collapse, who was. arxvgned earlier In the day, was given until Tuesday at the .same hour to plead. Morris alleges in his demurrer that the language of the indictment is not clear, that the. officers of the business house are not properly listed, that the time and place of the alleged crimes are 'not- specifically designated, and that mere than one crime is charged in the indictment. The first charge against Morris, "on which he Is indicted jointly with Pratt and Ktheridge, Is that the three voted ta Morris $25,000 worth of shares of the Rogne 'River Water company for a consideration of $1. The second charge is that Ktheridge withdrew $100,090 of Morris Bros. ; funds from a Portland bank and deposited it in the name of Mra1 Etheridge in the Forest Grove Na tional bank, which he drew upon to pay Morris as Morris' share of the business at . the time Morris withdraw and Kth eridge took charge. Legion Asks That City Plans Specify Work by Americans Passage of an ordinance by, the city council requiring all contractors on city work to give American citizens prefer ence over aliens, and making this re quirement a condition and part of each contract awarded, is requested by the American Legion unemployment com mittee In a communication sent to Mayor Baker and the city commissioners. It is understood the matter will be given consideration by the council at a special . meeting to be held Friday afternoon. In this' communication the committee says:- '', "Investigations made by this commit tee disclose the fact that certain street end sewer contractors in Portland are hiring alien labor in preference to ex service men and other loyal American family men on work paid for by .Port land citizens. In fact it has been brought to our attention that scores' of aliens have enjoyed regular employment on these contracts to the exclusion of Amer ican citizens at a time when the Ameri cans and their families were actually Buffering for the necessities of life. "Now. it is not the desire of this com mittee that aliens suffer, but we do feel that inasmuch as these aliens show by their actions that they prefer' to con tinue their allegiance to their native land, that in times of stress they should seek employment of the government to which they remain loyal, and that they be compelled to make way in America for loyal Americans certainly while those loyal Americans are in need of the work taken by aliene. motion pictures in which Clara Hamon may appear. -J Characterizing the proposed filming of the life Vry of the slayer of Jake Ha mon, millionaire Oklahoma oil magnate, as "the black drama of the notoriety of a soiled woman, the league adopted reso lutions binding its membershin "to keeo this film product frem our doors. "This woman sold her womanhood, and believing that she Is not actuated by a desire, through pictorial ' and dramatic art, to help other girls, but rather that there is a lack of hesitancy about com mercializing: her shame, the league places itself on record to keep this class of film from the state of Oregon, says the reso lution. - 1 - ! That the motion picture industry has been harrassed and embarrassed at fre ouent intervals by camouflaged "uplift films capitalizing the morbid public curi osity, is a . statement contained in the resolution.: . j ' -. ; Corn Doctor, Not Bootlegger , Cures Corns, Says Rossman Bill Aldrich suffered from "exagger ated" bunions. . A- bottle of moonshine found in his possession by Patrolmen Nutter and Harms was used exclusively as af bunion cure.' That was the only thing he kept the moonshine for. A few drinks relieved the pain. So Aldrich tes tified Thursday. f "Well," said Municipal Judge Ross man, after hearing of the novel cure. "I'm glad you haven't got coma. too. Corn whiskey may be all right for bun Ions but I'll let you go with a $5 fine this lime.' If they get to hurting again, go to a corn doctor, not a bootlegger."
