THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND. OREGON SATURDAY,. APRIL 30. 1921. KEELEY TOLD HER HE'D HALT PAY, SAYS MRS. DIBBERN Goaded by the cross examination of Lee Roy" E. Keeley during, the afternoon session in Judge Tucker's court Friday. Mrs. Edna Dibbern, witness for The Journal in the Wbel suit filed against it by Keeley. flared Into anger as she gave her version of the much talked of 40 per cent contingent fee contract. Keeley in duced her to sign after the death of her husband. Mrs. Dibbern had testified that she Binned a statement giving the facts In relation to Keeleya handling of her claim for damages growing out of the death of her husband. Keeley was cross examining in an attempt to show that she had made statements on hearsay and iioi on isnowwuge. Mrs. Dibbern had said that Keeley told her that the industrial acci dent commission would allow her nothing but 30 a month and that if she Accepted ' it they would take it away, and Keeleythen asked her if he had not -told her the commission could not legally pay her 34000 in a lump sum and that if it was paid she would not get a penny of it. And it was here that Mrs. Dib bern shifted from the shrinking, fright ened girl Into the Indignant woman and told her story. . , KJPECTKJ 49 TESt CEJMV "You told me," she said to Keeley, "if I accepted any lump sum settlement from the commission, .or any amount from the commission, that you would expect 40 per cent of it. And that- If I accepted the Jjitwu, u got poo. that . you would see that 1 did -get penny of it. This is what yo first w me. Mr. Keeley, when we t. 1st talked ut that JIQ00; you said. lit you get 0 I will expect 40 per . cent o 3f it. I saic Mr. Keelev. you surely wouldn't expect to take 40 per centof that J)4000 that I would get from the" commission." because what 1 got from the commission was supposed to be mine. And you got real sore about- It, and you were just raving around there for a while, and then pretty soon you said. 'I will see that you don't get a penny of that 14000 If you take it- . "That was when you came in and said that you would see,! didn't get any of it. after you got so mad about it because you thought that I had found out that they had offered you a settlement and you didn't tell me about it." Charles T. Hoee. city editor of The Journal, followed MrB. Dibbern on the stand. He said he knew Keeley slight ly, having seen him a few times when he came into The Journal office to pre sent his statements for publication, lloge said he submitted these to Oeorge M. Trowbridge, then the editor, and that Mr. Trowbridge determined them not to be proper material for publication. ATTOKSEY IS CALLED Perry K. Backus of Los Angeles was the next witness. He was attorney for Mrs. Keeley in her divorce case against Keeley, and identified testimony given in that case, particularly that in Tefer ence to the letter introduced as having been written by Keeley to his wife, ask ing her to share, him - with his sten ographer. Miss tClenore Block. Backus said the letter was put in the record of that case but was abstracted by some one within five days after the hearing, and has not -since been found. Keeley asked Backus If- he had not at one time drawn a gun on him (Keeley) when Keeley went into hla office, and Backus, replied that he hat. done so; that Keeley had' comnWlhe office whUe a woman was hereL53had used profane language ; that BaTkus had thrown him out, arl that when Keeley came back he pulltfi r ,un on him and ordered him to getjut. B. V. Irvine, c&tJor of The Journal, was also put on stand. He ad mitted having wriltene editorials of w hich Keeley Is complaiHJng. - He said he had no personal aco,uaNitance with Keeley and harbored not the slightest niiimosity towards him. He said The Journal actively supported the work men's compensation law prior to its en actment antf advocated H as a sub stitute for casualty insurance and dam age suits and the practices of the en lire old system. The Journal advo cated the law. for four or five years be fore its passage, -he said, and fought for it during the campaign previously to the special election of 113, when it was jatified by the people by an overwhelm ing v--v HAD IKfK"IKI LAW Continuing, Mr. Irvine said The Jour nal defended the law in i" the legislative session of J15. again in 1317 and again in 1919.- when the casualty companies and ambulance chasing lawyers were at tempting to undermine It. One jnotlve guided him in writing the editorials in question, Mr. Irvine said. 1 During Its advocacy of the law The Journal knew of contracts made by law yers with men in hospitals unable to think , clearly In their pain, or with widows incapacitated with grief. He knew that during 1911 and 1912 J1.19S.133 was pent out of Oregon to casualty eom panies to pay for Insurance to protect . i . . : . : . j ..... i ... while in'the same time but $350,000 was paid for injuries. During the two and one-half years of the compensation law 4 lie saw set aside 11.714.000. all of which except 8 per cent for administration by the commission, went to widows or ; maimed workmen. Mr. Irvine said that when he saw the contract made between Keeley and Mrs. Dibbern, " and knew the circumstances surrounding it. he considered it to be ; another attempt to break down the law ailu Ml i i. wb iuv dui6 iraswn iwt uiv comments made in his editorial articles. They -were written to save the' law end because it was the time for some body to defend the women, and the law. He. said he-dd not know Keeley, or care anything about him, for measures for the public good are above men. On cross-examination Mr. "Irvine said he based nls editorials oft the state ment -of the governor, on Kecley's con tract, a copy of which he saw. He said, also, that he did not think he re ferred to Keeley directly as "an ambu lance chasing lawyer." when he wrote the editorials, but referred to a - class, though, he added, he thought Keeley was an ambulance chaser in the Dibbern case. --. Albert ' B. Ridgway. secretary of the bar association, was on the stand when co. rt adjourned until Monday morning. His testimony will close, the case of the defense. - Portland Couple Hewed -Vancouver. : Wash..

PI STAFF MAY AFFECT CITY Jladical ; changes in . the ' chief executive staff of the Union Pacific system, which, if carried out. j will be of great Importance to Portland, are predicted in reports received from the East tod y by railway and business men. '. ''. M It Is reported that Robert S. Doivett, chairman of the board of directors of the system, and . K. K. Calvin, vice president id charge or operations, are to resign and that these tw6 vacancies in the 'official family" will -cause a shifting 'which may affect ; the , execu tive staff of, the O.-W. R. & N. To fill the vacancy occasioned' by the reported resignation of Calvin, it is said that directors are endeavoring to persuade J. P. O'Brien, general man ager of ihe O-W. R. & N., to go to Omaha and fill the position. O'Brien is in the east at this time presumably considering the proposition, s MKETIXG MAY $ TO ACT. i All these contemplated changes are to come at the annual meeting of the board of directors in New York May 30, says the report. J '. The reported ' line-up would mean the shifting of Carl R. Gray, president of the system, to chairmanship of the board ; movement of Harry M. Adams, vice-president In charge of traffic, to the presidency; O'Brien to take Cal vin's place and possibly F. W. ; Robin son, assistant to Adams, to take Adams' place. It may immediately be seen how important the. report is to Portland as it means the shifting of executives to the chief positions who are generally considered as "Portland men." Reports of the changes have gained wide circu lation In the railway and financial circles of the city. t Local railway men bclievethey un derstand why Lovett might liejtve the chairmanship of the board, but much speculation is caused by i the report that Calvin is also contemplating res ignation. The local men believe that Calvin may have been offered the presidency of some eastern road. 8TA3S HARD BISPIKASED,' RKORT. In the case of Lovett, reports have been in circulation for severaj months that he was held in disfavor because he was not considered a. "Standard Oil man" and the Rockefellers are now commonly reported to be the control ling factors in the U. " V. organization. Lovett will not reach the ordinary re tirement age of 70 for eight years. Gray, who it is reported would take Lovett's place, was president of the Spokane Portland & Seattle railway, at Portland in 1911 when the Hill inter ests were pushing their extension pro gram. He has always been considered friendly to Portland. Report of the possibility of move ment of Adams into the presidency has aroused much Interest. Local men be lieve mat this might not be undertaken because he is a traffic man but Adams is recognised ' as - an unusually able railway executive. . Adams first came to Portland in 1889 as adver tising agent for the . O.-W. He was here practically continuously until 1910 when he left the employment of the 5. P. & . His long -residence here qualifies him as a Portlander. Belief ia expressed that O'Brien will not desire an appointment taking him to Omaha. He has been in Oregon since 1892 when he- came to the O. R. 6. N.. as assistant superintendent at La Grande. He has spent practically all of his . life in Portland since that time and la Jinown as one of the most competent officials on the tl. P. system. All chief executives of the O-W. R. & N. are away ' from Portland and other officials refused to comment upon the changes reported. ... -' 1 1 : Vogler Boy Speed Boat Is Ready to Meet All Comers r - Fred W.

CONCERN PLANNED WILSON FEARED VICTORS WOULD ABUSE TRIUMPH By Norman Hapgood Universal Service Staff Correspondent. Washington, April 30. Whatever chance there may be of preventing France from ,wreck,ng what is left of civilization in Europe is focused in two men. L The influence of ihe United States Is now being wielded by MrV Hughe and everybody believes he Is doing the -est that can be done. The power of Great Britain is in the hands of Lloyd George and nobody knows what his motives are. No one is smarter than the Welshman. No one realises" more clearly than he the folly of invasion or the hypocrisy of many of the conditions imposed on Germany. .But his first premise is al ways the need of regaining power him self and he pursues it with Incredible skill. We have seen him tely mis leading all Kngland about the nature of the Irish issue and encouraging the Labor paj-ty. The Ituhr question, al though he understands it perfectly, may also be made a football of hia politics. BETELATIOX IS PROMISED 1 am now going to reveal an Import ant piece of history, showing the British prime minister committing an entirely dishonest act In order to prevent one of Mr. Wilson's attempts to stop" the war before It had brought the world to the condition In" which we now see It. Those Immediately concerned, outside of Lloyd George, are unable to tell the story, being bound by confidence, but I am under no obligation to keep quiet. It was in December. 1918, Mr. Wilson was endeavoring to force the opposing sides into the open, and either stop the war or commit the belligerents to pur poses that could be slated. In one clause he used this language: "lie takes the liberty of calling attention to the fact that the objects which the statesmen of the belligerents on both Bides have in mind in this war are vir tually the same, aa stated in general terms to their own people and to the world." . WAITED RKAIj AIMS Notice the last 13 words. The mean ing is obvious. Mr. Wilson wanted to get at the real aims behind those vir tuous bluffs. When Mr. Lloyd George received the communication he called tn the newspaper men and let them kne t he wanted a howl of Indignation : sent up. They obeyed. Nearly all of them followed the prime minister's Insistence that Mr. Wilson had said that thepb Jects of both; sides were the same, anot that the general virtuous r.oises were the same. Lloyd George's organ, the Chronicle, I was particularly fierce. There was one Journalist present whom the prime minister had Ignored for months, on account of his inde pendence, i This time he called hjm in. It was the well known essayist, A. G. Gardiner, then editor of the Dally News. Gardiner refused to accept the prime minister's Interpretation of - the presi dent's message. He' pointed out ( that it was perfectly obvious that Mr. Wilson was saying that general expressions of virtuous intentions, desire of safety, etc.. were the same, whoever emitted them, and that he would like to have exact and . comprehensible statements about what both sides were kfter. SECRF.T TREATIES BEH1SD IT The prime minister refused to take Gardiner's view, for reasons of his own. Ho "could read the message as well as Gardiner could, but his government waa imrtv to a Beries of. secret imperialistic treaties, not differing essentially In their intent from the evils that the ocrman government had planned. He could not afford to be called in loathe open by the president. It would have been too great an exposure of Kngland, France, Italy and the Tsarist Kussia. No won der he -has steadily refused to give Gardiner permission to tell the story. Happily, I do not need permission. Another incident fits in with this. When Mr. Wilson used his -famous ex pression, "I'cacc without victory," he meant it. ,N FEAR Ell ABl'fJK OF VHTORV He believed victory would he abused by either side, as it is now being obvi ously abused by the conquerors. He sent that message toMhe principal am bassadors three days before It was pub lished. Mr. Page, in Kngland, who was very sympathetic with the enten, cabled a most urgent request to hfO that expression taken out. Mr. WilsrAi was adamant-" Developments have shown hqw firmly his fears were grounded. Since ihe statesmen of France, not sufficiently checked by those of Kng land, are pushing the whole world to ward an abyss, the completeness of the victory of the entente is easily seen aa an evil. Wilson reached his height In his warning that a draw would be less harmful than unrestricted dictatorship by either side. ' x Commends County's Attempt to Reduce Expense in Janitors 'The effort of the, county commis sioners to reduce the cost of janitor service in the county courthouse should be approved and not criticised," said I. J. Goldsmith, secretary of the Taxpay ers' league this mornlng4 "When I was a member of the budget committee a report -was filed showing that 28 janitors in the courthouse cov ered less floor space, but were paid, of course, much more money ' than eight Janitors In one of the department stores. "If Ihe county can save $9800 a year In Janitor i service, as it. Is asserted Is possible, it should lie done. We munt reduce tax expense, even If officlaja who influent appointments for political rea sons protest. The statement that rec ords would not be safe If the) Janitor service was contracted is poppycoc'k." Delegates to Metal Trades Conference On Jaunt to Seaside More than 100 delegates to the fif teenth annual convention of the United Metal Trades Association of the Pacific Coast, with their friends and members of their families, left at 10 a. m. today for an . automobile , trip to ISeaside, where the convention will close with a banquet Sunday afternoon.

Frink of Seattle,; vice presidents; J. K. Card, treasurer, and John B. Jones, secretary. Delegates were pres ent from Oregon, Washington, Idaho and ' BcUlfh Columbia.
