MRS. HAWLEY
WINS DIVORCE
E APPEAL
Decree Granted Willard P. Haw
ley Jr., Oregon City Paper Mill
Man, Is Dismissed by Court.
Salem, Or., July 30. The supreme
court in an opinion written by Justice
Brown, this morning reversed the de-
county circuit court granting to Wil
lard P. Hawley Jr. of Oregon City a
decree of divorce from Marjorie Haw
ley, and ordered that the divorce suit be
dismissed.
"The . contract - of marriage entered
Into between Willard Hawley and Mar
Jorie Hawley cannot be cancelled at
the will of either or both of them," the
opinion reads.
AGAINST STATE POLICY
The sovereign state of Oregon has an
interest in that contract. It is the
policy of the state not to destroy but to
preserve the status of marriage. The
commonwealth of the state of Oregon
regards marriage as right and divorce
as wrong, except for certain designated
reasons established in court by clear
and satisfactory proof.
The record in this case does not au
thorise a court of inquiry to annul the
marriage contract existing between the
parties hereto," the opinion of the su
preme court concludes.
"We have vfewed all the exhibits and
read with much care the entire record.
We believe that the public welfare does
sot require that the testimony . heard in
this Ill-fated suit should" be preserved
in our reports, hence we have refrained
, from quoting therefrom."
HAWLEY TO PAY COSTS
Mrs. Hawley, as plaintiff in the suit.
Is permitted by the opinion to recover
her costs and disbursements on appeal
and in the circuit ocurt.
Suit for divorce was filed by Marjorie
Hawley against Willard P. Hawley Jr..
son of the millionaire Oregon City paper
manufacturer, on November 21, 1919.

PRELIMINARY MEET
PLAN ABAN
By Lllo yd Allen
United Press Stiff Correspondent
London, July 30. There will be no
Pacific conference in London before the
Harding disarmament meeting, the Unit
ed Press was informed here today.
Plans for a preliminary London con
ference to thresh out Pacific, problems
immediately, as demanded by Premier
Hughes of Australia, have been aban
doned, it was learned.
This action clears the path for the
Washington conference and indicates a
distinct victory for the American pro
posals. The, decision came as a result of a
fortnight's fight between British pro
vincial premiers. It was reliably stated
the prenUers were deadlocked because
Premiers Hughes, Lloyd George and
Massey insisted that some sort of con
ference should be held in London prior
to the Washington confab.
Premiers Meighen, Canada, and Smuts
of South Africa fought the suggestion.
They took the attitude that such a con
ference would prejudice the Washington
meeting and encroach on the plan of the
United States.
It was understood Meighen and Smuts
did not oppose a preliminary conference
In Canada as they regarded that an
equivalent of a Washington meeting. It
was evident they were entirely victorious
k view of the fact that the premiers'
conference is over and Meighen sailed
for Canada today.

Two boys, Arley McCalleb, aged 17, and

by a Southern Pacific engine at the
Fourth street crossing. A race between
an ..automobile driven by Frank .Grace
Jr. and the motorcyclists is believed to
have been responsible for the crash.
The -automobile was hit also, but Grace

PROSPERITY SHOWN
BY JULY
With the biggest building campaign in
the. history of the city in active progress
and bumper fruit and grain crops In the
offing, a tone of optimism marks the
closing of the month of July. '
The fairest reflection of the city's pros
perity is shown in the records of the
building department at the city hall. Dur
ing the month a total of 110 permits val
ued at $1,428,000 were issued, compared
with 1168 permits valued at 81, 440,165
issued in June.
With estimates for Saturday, a total
of 232 residential permits valued at
3816,000 were issued during the month,
compared, with 227 residence permits val
ued at 3764.353 for June. According to
the building inspector's record more than
2000 houses have been erected in Port
land and its near-in suburbs since the
first of the year.
Bank clearings for the month totaled
3107,852.881.10. compared with a total of
3157.540,238.70 for July of last year. The
falling off in clearings Is attributed to
the rapid decline in prices during the
year.

TIME ELEMENT FACTOR
Porter declared that fern fronds,
seemingly broken when the bundle was
concealed in the underbrush near the
Agee home, were completely dead when
Swing called him to the scene, indicat
ing that the bundle must have been de
posited for some time
He said that the first idea the three
had following the discovery was to call
the police, but upon Swing's suggestion
that authorities had seemed to have
given up the search, they all agreed to
turn the find over to John Collier, chief
defense counsel.
Collier was called and the bundle was
delivered to him. He urged that the
three men say nothing about the find
until he had opportunity to study its
possibilities. The fact was submitted,
it is said, to show how the evidence
was kept out of the hands of the police
until the time of its presentation In
court.
SWING IS RECALLED
The state called Swing back for cross
examination and questioned him closely
about his search of the neighborhood in
which the vital evidence was found. He

RATE OPINION
Full Advantage Secured Portland
and Vancouver in Class and
Grain Rates, but Commodity
Suspension Apparently Stands.
By Carl Salts
Washington. July 30. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL J
Analysis of the supplemental opinion in
the Columbia Basin rate case announced
by the Interstate commerce commission
Friday indicates that the order Just
made is Intended to secure to Portland
and Vancouver the full advantage In
rates contemplated by the original opin
ion in all class rates and on grain and
grain products.
Its scope is not so wide as to com
modity rates other than grain and grata
products. Under the original optnon
all commodities were included.1 Friday's
opinion omits mention of commodity
rates except grain. The effect of that
is to declare on one hand that the com
modity rates in effect on July 1 are
reasonable and at the same time to
leave undisturbed the suspension by
Washington state authorities of com
modity rates which it had bean proposed
to Increase within that state between
Puget Sound and territory south of
Snake river.
Whether this will produce any serious
inequalities or discriminations will have
to be determined from the operation of
the present rates. The commission's
view evidently is that any such difficul
ties are small and subsidiary and can
be straightened out In due time by ac
tion of the railroads themselves.
Mayor Baker stated today that he
will start a campaign Monday morning
for a cleanup of noxious weeds from
vacant lota in Portland and for e gen
eral cleanup that will include the trim
ming of street trees to a height of nine
ftet, required under city ordinance.
The mayor has asked City Attorney
Grant to determine how far-reaching are
the present city ordinances on these
lines, and If necessary an emergency
ordinance will be drafted and presented
to the city council for passage, so aa to
facilitate the work.
In any Instance, under state law, the
lot owners can be required to eliminate
from their properties thistles, poison oak
and other noxious growths or be subject
to penalties for neglect so to do. Mayor
Baker says he Intends to see that gen
eral attention la paid to these provisions.
Instructions will be Issued early In-the
week to the police department to have
patrolmen make reports on properties on
their beats, and that every property
owner will be expected to get busy In
this cleanup campaign.
