caetically. "We ain't scrapped the
primary law yet, have we?"
"Not yet, but soon," Polly answered
confidently. "We're getting awful tired
of having to vote for any old person

"Well,". T. Paer responded. "If I re

"I don't kow why it was ever

"The joker was wild all right." T.

CHAPTER 48
(Copyrislit. 1922. by 8Ur Company)
MRS. HOLLINGSHEAD fell asleep,
holding her husband's hanf after
he had assured her of her daughter's
safety. But she awaken;d at the end
of an hour in a state of nervous (X
citement that neither of her attend
ants could quiet. N
" "I will stay with her. Tou telephone
for the - doctor !' Mr. Hollingshf ad
said to Adelaide at last. "She 1s
wearing herself, out."
Adelaide hurried to the telephone.
JJuring the hour in which the invalid
had slept the girl had gone to her
own room and dressed as if for the
day. Shs knew she would be busy
later.
Alter summoning ur. v.nv.
took the husband's place at the -bedside.
. .
'I will stay by her while you s"o and
dress." she said gently. "I am afraid
you will catch cold sitting here In your
pajamas and bathrobe."
She felt almost as If she were the
daughter of this stricken man. He
InnL-ali at lr M1W. dUlrV.
"I won t catch cold." he protested.!
"You will be needed later by her,
the girl reminded him. "Her peace
of mind will depend on you," she added
in a whisper.
"What are you talking about? The
Invalid asked the question that Ade
laide had so often heard her ask of
her own child. She answered trutb-
fU'iy"am urging Mr. Holllngshead to
put on warmer clothing. You know I
called him to come to you and he
did not wait to dress."
"He must not leave me," the Inva
lid whimpered. "He must not 1 "He
must!" the girl said gently, but firm
ly, "just for a short time."
The blind woman began to cry soft
ly. The man looked helplessly at the
attendant. . i..
"Don't worry. I will see to her.
she said to him In a low voice. "Go
and dress. You will have to let the
doctor In when he rings.
He obeyed as if he had been a
child. In five minutes he was back
again, fully dressed. His wife waa
still crying.
"Shs will wear herself out, he mur
mured anxiously. "I wish the doctor
would come. I know this will tell on
her heart." "
"Not before Ir. Carter gets here,
the girl soothed. "Talk to her and
try to divert her thoughts. I will re
turn in a few minutes."
She left the room. In 10 minutes
she was back, carrying a cup of steam
ing coffee. ... .
"Drink this, Mr. Hollmgshead. she
commanded.
Mrs. Hollingshesd's sobs had ceased
but her breath was labored. There
w. ninched look about her features.
The,, girl did not rail the man's at
ntion to these symptoms. Instead,
while he drank, the coffee, she took
Vit- Kpit Hv the bed.
Kb was still there when the front
doorbell-rang. She listened while the
master of the house went downstairs.
She heard a murmured parley in the
lower hall. She wondered how the
"father was telling the tragic news to
' the doctor.
However he told It.' It took little
time. - For, before she could believe
that rthe conversation between the
two men could be ended. Dr. Carter
stood at the side of the bed.
He bent over the patient and spoke
to her soothingly a started and

"I want Pattv to come "in here now:

Th husband turned sway, his hands

to hold a job as claim agent or be a
lawyer for a railroad or some other big
corporation."
"What's that got to do with what
we're talking about?" Polly demanded
"It'm talking about legislatures and
public offices and the kind of big men
that used to be elected to 'em." .
"Well," maybe it ain't got much to
do with it." T. Paer answered slow
ly, "only from where I used to set back
in the days when Jack and Larry was
shufflin' the cards, a sergeant candi 1
date for anything from United States
senator down to sergeant-at-arms of
the convention had to hold a pay
check from some sort of a big corpora
tion before he stood any show, just like
a high school kid has to have a di
ploma before he can get into college."
"That's all bunk," Polly contended
heatedly. "Wasn't the delegates to
conventions elected free and open by
the people."
"Maybe, after they was picked by
Jack and Larry 'nd the rest of the
dick room Doya, x. "naer sata, -out
they was one '"little thing Su don't

"I ain't forgetting any of It," Polly
assured him "but . I don't know what
you're talking about."
"Nethin' of much importance," T.
Taer chuckled, "only before they was
picked the big boss always had to be
showed that them that -was picked had
rinirs in their nose 'nd hobbles on their
forelegs."
"That's all old stuff and maybe there
was some abuses," Polly conceded gen
erously, "but we're going to cut all
that rough stuff out and just keep the
good."
"It can t be did." T. Paer objected,
"not as long as the first thing corpo
rations think of is dividends on their
stock."
"I'd hate like the devil." Polly re
torted, her exasperation reflecting in
her diction, "to be a grump and a
pessimist like you."
"I ain't no pessimist,"" T.'Paer con
tended, complacently. "I'm a hundred
per cent optirlist."
"You can figger more percentage
out'n nothing," Polly declared, "than
anybody I ever saw."
"Maybe," T. Paer acceded, "but I
can see the bright side of things good
enough eo that I'd just as lief take a
chano at lettin' all the people pick
who they want to hire to run the gov
ernment as to go back nd have some
little bunch of ward heelers frame up
the ticket in the back room of some
pool hall."
"Mrs. Hollingshead, why not let your
daughter sleep quietly? You say she
was here only a little while ago?"
""Yes but it was quite a while ago.
She came in here, didn't she, Addle?"
"Yes,- dear. And she told, you she
wanted to go to bed and to sleep.
Don't- you remember?"
"But I keep dreaming that' some
thing has happened to her. I want
to be sure that she has not caught
cold or is not ill or anything."
Dr. Carter laid his steady hands on
the thin, trembling ones.
"Dear lady," he urged, "you believe
me when I say a thing don't you?"
"Yes."
"Then you must believe me when I
say that Miss Patricia is all right
and would not want to be disturbed.
Won't you stop asking 'for her, and
let her sleep peacefully?"
"Yes," the sick woman assented.
'But oh, my head !"
"I will give you something to relieve
your head," the doctor promised.
He prepared a hypodermic, Ade
laide waiting on him. When it had
been administered and the patient had
fallen into a deep Blumber, the physi
cian beckoned . the man and gii 1 into
the hall.
"She Is very ill," he announced.
"More ill than she has been at all.
I must put a trained nurse in here."

FEDERAL JUDGE
RAPS MISDEEDS
Nickelplated stars, gleaming from
the proud breasts f federal prohlbl-j
tlon agents, do not make bossy-cow's
morning bran mash the stuff from
which white mule is made.
Nor does that star, with all the
weight of an agent's oath behind it,
make a genuine, guaranteed copper
coiled whiskey still out of a wash
boiler full of hot water In which
Farmer Brown hopes to scald a squeal
ing pig if the moonshine marines let
him alone awhile.
Yet there are among these stalwart
minions of the federal law agents who
assume for themselves such poetic li
cense. And Federal Judge Charles E.
Worverton is out to clip some of their
pet glories by holding them to the same
court regulations as their "victims"
are subjected to.
COCBT GI YES REBUKE
?o more favors are to be granted
them by virtue of their arresting
authority. They must obey the laws
of the court the same as the men they
arrest. If some of them don't conduct
themselves in a more orderly manner
the federal court will take action
against them.
Such was the substance of a lengthy
rebuke Judge Wolverton directed at
the agents this morning, when be was
Informed by Assistant United States
Attorney Allan Bynon that he was
having difficulty in getting tbe agents
to make-truthful reports on their ar
rests, and in reporting to court at the
time set for trial.
"I think the court has seen enough
during the last few days to understand
the difficulties which I face," Bynon
said in summing up the matter.
The judge's admonition was made
during the hearing of a motion on
the C. E. Alderdice liquor indictmnet.
in which the defendant is seeking to
have it dismissed. Alderdice contends
that the search warrant used at his
home. No. 574 East Eighth street

Bynon could not offer any resistance
to the contentions, his only evidence
being hearsay, that .the warrant ' had
later, been changed for the. right ad
dress. Counsel for Alderdice said-he
bad interviewed the commissioner and
he denied making the change. Judge
Wolverton instructed Bynon to have
Agent Grover Todd, who secured the
warrant, in court Wednesday morning,
to give him the opportunity of ascer
taining whether he - tampered with the
warrant after the commissioner issued
it. and also to explain why he has
been so tardy in making his return,
jTJxe federal prohibition agents
ought to understand that they are of
ficers of this court, and that they must
make returns on these papers,' Judge
Wolverton announced. "If they don't
attend to these matters the court will
take some action. I don't think the
United States attorney's office or the
United States marshal should be
caused any further worry over these
matters."" :
FAIL TO APPEAR
Bynon also stated . that two sgents
ignored court subpenas Monday for the
trial of George Protrcka. Agent C. J.
MeKnight never showed up. and Agent
H. L. Barker was 35 minutes late and
caused a delay in the government's
case, he said.
Bynon also charged Agent Price with
making 14 mistakes on major points in
one of his recent cases, on which the
jury failed to find a verdict. Price is
alleged to have stated that he found a
still in full operation. ,when the facts
showed the defendant was heating wa
ter in a wash boiler to scald a pig.
Also that he found a barrel of sour
mash by the barn, which was later
identified during the trial as a barrel
of, feed for livestock.
At the conclusion of this morning's
hearing Bynon promised the court he
would convey his statements to the
prohibition department.

TOUGH TIME TO"
SCALEI.YEON
Scratched by briers, bruised by rocks,
burned by the sun, bitten by mosquitos
and sore in every muscle, five Portland
hikers are recuperating today after a
grilling' experience of mountain elimb
ing sueli as no member of the party de
sires to have again.
The party was composed of Mr. and
Mrs. -Walter Dimm, Kffie Rhodes, Ar
thus Even son and Eric LaMade and
they are telling today how they started
to climb Yeon mountain, off the Co
lumbia river bighway, and had to fin
ish tbe expedition whether they desired
to or not.
These higers had the unusual expe
rience of getting half way up a moun
tain to find it impossible to descend
with safety and yet finding themselves
facing Almost' insurmountable cliffs to
continue the remainder of the climb.
But sfter two days' toil, during
which there was only a light lunch and
a quart of water between the live,
the hikers are back In civilization tired
and sors, but wiser.
The five started from Dodson on the
highway and followed Dodson creek to
the" bsse of Yeon mountain which is
about 400 feet higher than Larch moun
tain and has no trails. Roped together
the party started th climb up cliffs
expecting to get to the top and bsck by
Sunday night. . Blankets and equip
ment were left behind. Half way up
the mountain they decided to go back.
but the slopes were so precipitous that
a return was out of the question.
Through dense underbrush and fallen
timber the party proceeded and ar
rived at the top at dark. The under
brush was so dense and so dry that the
adventurers were faraid to start a fire
so they huddled together on the top of
the peak while the cool mountain
breezes sent the coldness through to
their marrow. It took the party all
day Monday to return to the highway
by another route which led them out
at Warrendale.
LaMade was the guide of the expedl
tlon and said he learned conclusively

Particularly so was the , recital by
Thomas N. Strong, one of the bene

viewed her life in detail under, ques
tioning and held the courtroom tense
when he recited how he had defended
her in San Francisco, where she was
trjed . and acquitted on a charge of
murder for the shooting of her hus
band. This man, according to the tes

woman and took something like 30,

Mrs. Faling's maiden name " was
Xarifa Jane Barrett She came here
as a girl with her family, and. by fru

acquired the nucleus, of the fortune
which she later amassed.
Dr. Smith contested for this for

will was made her her.lth and mind
were weakened, and that she executed
it under undue pressure and coercion.

great amount of cash and much val

CITY OF PORTLAND
REIMBURSE BAYER
Salem, June tl.- ThTdty of Portland
)s under (no obligation either legal or
moral, to pay to J. C Bayer, trustee.
l3C.7x.S4, due. Bayer asserts, in con
nection with the- construction of the ;:.
Portland clty-r auditorium. So declare
Justice Rand in an opinion handed
down by the supreme court In over- -ruling
a demurrer filed by attorneya
for Bayer In a suit against George R.
Funk, auditor for the city of Portland,
today.:' v . :J,x:
In his opinion Justice Rand points ,
out that the contract for the construc
tion of the auditorium, originally en- T
tared into with Hans Pederson, waa
transferred t Bayer as trustee when
Pederson became Involved and unable
to complete his contract. Upon com
pletion of the contract the city paid all
urns It had contracted to pay and in
addition paid Bayer f 31.I2S to reim
burse Pederson- for an error In comput
ing his bid on the building, as well ss
an additional fit per thousand for the
brick entering into the construction of
the building. ,
Thereaftes Bayer presented a claim
for an amount In excess of ISS.T02.t4.
whleh he claimed the city was. under
legal obligation to pay. The city
council, through the enactment of two
ordinances, provided for the payment ,
of this claim when Bayer, by legal pro
ceedings, should obtain a judicial de
termination that the city council had
authority to pay the money as a moral
obligation and not as one which was
enforcible in an action at law. :
"The city, was under no obligation
to the relator (Bayer), roorat or eqult-
able." Justice Rand declares tn hts
opinion. "The council" had no legal
authority to pay or to promise -to pay "
him anj' sum of money. He had been
settled with once and paid in full and
had given bis receipt therefor."
