Mrs. Jacobson
Is Bride of
R. Carruthers
Mrs. Jacobson. beautiful widow of
Clarence S. Jacobson. wealthy Port
land manufacturer, who died sud
denly in his office about two years
ago, has chosen from a long list of
admirers a third partner In the mat
rimonial field.
He is Roy Carruthers, known to
many Portland folk for several years
manager of the Palace hotel at
San Francisco and the Pennsylvania
in New York, and now as manager
of the Waldorf-Astoria In New York
city. According to telegrams sent to
Portland friends, they were married in
Philadelphia last Thursday.
Mrs. Carruthers was Miss Dolly Hey
nemann, one of the most attractive of
San Francisco's belles before her first
marriage, when she became the wife of
Leon Greenbaum, a young business
man of San Francisco and a member
of a prominent family of that citv.
After several years she divorced her
husband and was later remarried and
happily so to Clarence 8. Jacobson.
who brought his bride to Portland and
built for her a beautiful Italian villa
on one of the most imposing sites along
tne ooramoia river Highway.
Here Mrs. Jacobson made for herself
many friends among the members of
Portland's society set. She was un
usually attractive and very popular. As
mistress of the Jacobson household she
Interested herself in the development and
care of one of the most artistic gar
dens in the countryside and at her sum
mer home she entertained her many
friends as a pleasing and thoughtful
hostess. In the winter the country
home was closed and Mr. and Mrs.
Jacobson spent much of their time to
California, the latter sometimes re
maining in the South a few months
after her husband's return to Portland.
It was st the Palace hotel that she
met Carruthers, then manager of that
establishment. His first wife had been
for several years in a sanatorium. He
was called to New York to become man
ager of the Pennsylvania hotel and later
of the Waldorf-Astoria where he again
met Mrs. Jacobson, by this time a
charming widow, on her way to Europe
to seek forgetfulness in travel. She was
accompanied abroad by Mrs. Robinson,
a close friend, and together they visited
the principal cities of the continent and
finally went to Italy, where they spent
the winter.
Three weeks ago Mrs. Jacobson re
turned to America, stopping for a visit
in New York. Her marriage to Car
ruthers wss announced to Portland
friends by wire Saturday.

Mrs. Kaber admitted in the presence

state to introduce the alleged confes
sion of Salvator Cala. "the man with

Goes After Harding
On His Bonus Stand
Dependents Stand
To Lose by Bonus
Bill, State Critics
Wsehlngtoe. July 1L (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL)
One feature of the McCumber soldier
bonus bill which Is excllng some ad
verse comment among the soldiers and
dependents of soldiers of the war is that
unless a soldier lived long enough after
ths passsgs of the set to make applica
tion for its benefits, his dependents are
left without compensation.
Dependents of those who died In the
battle line and of all who have died
since, or may die until the bill Is en
acted, are to have no benefits, but will
help to pay the bonus for ths living.
Soldiers who live to make their choice
of the five plans of compensation pro
posed win have their estates protected.
Proponents of the bill say it is vir
tually impossible to make provision for
dependents of those who have passed on.
s large number of whom are protected
by war risk insurance, and that a bill
cannot well be framed except for those
who are living at the time of Its pass
age and personally apply for its bene
fits.
