Poisonous )iuor cheated a noose today when William Pollock, 43, died as he was fixing the rope about his neck, preparatory to committing suicide. When found by his sister, Pol lock was laying at the foot of the bed in his room with a rope around his neck. Coroner Cllft, who examined the body, eaid death was due to poisonous liquor and that Pollock had not been succBsful in hia at tempt to end his life by hanging himself. Cash Claims and Loan Ap plications Aggregate a . High Financial Figure Cash bonuses numbering 4 SO were approved yesterday by the state bonus board. .The amount was 'an average of about $250, or a, total of approximately.?! 12,- 500 : in cash. Loans numbering 42 were approved, for a total of about $83,000. The total ap provals for the day were close to $200,000, cash for which will be Immediately available. This last day's work brings the total of approvals up to 6 3d 9 :asa bonuses, .amounting to $1- 500,000, "and 102 loans, amount! ing to about f 250,000. "The cash bonus, being far easi er and quicker to adjudicate, akes precedence in number. The oans require so much work in approving titles, that it goes seemingly rather slowly. Yester day's work covered almost one half of the total approvals of land loans since the bonus law was put into operation. Only one dixtieth as many loans have been made as cash payments. Considerably more thon one halt of the total estimated possi bility of cash bonus and loan claims have been filed, the total number being 13,299 cash bonus es, and 9417 loans, or a total of 22,716 applications in all. The estimated possibility was about 35,000, but not all of these are likely to be presented, so the board considers that it is already getting within sight of the end of its possibilities of loans. The handling of the vast and complex loan system after It does get fairly started, however, will keep the future board at least as busy as the present one that merely loans the money and doesn't have to collect it. "Polkadot" Suggested as Name for West Salem One more name for West Sa lem, and one of the most distinc tive, of the nearly 200 that have come in response to The States man's invitation for suggestions, Is received from Katherine Mc Donald of Independence. She sub mits that "Polkadot" would be a' good name for the town, and hereby enters it in the competi tion. . A mass meeting of West Salem citizens will be held tonight to take up the question of proceed ing with the plans for a postof flee, which would necessitate changing the name of the town. Sentiment now appears to be against making the change. Henry Smith Accused of v - Burglarizing Coin Box Henry Smith, transient, was yesterday returned from Portland by Constable Walter DeLong on a charge of robbing a phone coin box at Woodburn. Smith was ar rested Tuesday by Portland offi cers. ' : . , When arraigned in justice court yesterday Smith entered a plea of not'guUty to the charge. He Is held In the county jail pending ,a hearing. -- DOIlUSHDiS eieofsivoi mm of PROTEST, SO IEN AISO ARE tllSTED NEW YORK, March 23. Supreme Court Justice VVasser vogel tonight announced that he would bar men, as well as women spectators, from the remaining sessions of the trial of "Tex" Rickard, charged with criminally assaulting 15-year-old Schoenf eld. Women have been barred since the be ginning of the trial. The order was issued after several so ciety women who were refused admittance protested against "discrimination." The prosecution rested Its case today after Herman Betch, Jani tor of an apartment house in West Forty-seventh street, in which the attack was alleged to have taken place, had been called to the wit ness stand. Akel to Keep Quiet Rercji testified that after Rick- ard's arrest a stranger had led him to Madison Square Garden and that there Rickard, charges? that some one was trying to "frame" him, told him that it he knew anything to keep quiet. The witness then picked out among the spectators former Po lice Captain Dominie Reilley as another man who later had ap proached him after he had gone before the grand jury. The court denied a motion by the defense to dismiss charges of rape, assault in the second de gree and abduction after the state bad closed its case. Garden Talk Related The janitor said ho had seen Rickard outside the apartments of the promoter's, friend .Walter Fields, on four or five "occasions, but swore he never saw him' in side. Later he admitted having noticed R'ckard In the vestibule one afternoon. In the conversation at the gar A practical Joke played upon a neighbor brought about the ar rest Tuesday of Clarence Moffen ber. Mount Angel resident, and cost him the sum of $100, includ ing a fine and court costs. Details of the joke were out lined Tuesday night to G. E. Un ruh, justice of the peace. According to the story told to officers by Moffenher, a neighbor had boasted that no one could Bteal anything from him. One night, while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, accordng to ofticals, he and a comrade stripped the neighbor's car of lights, tires, wheels and equip ment. The same joke was played upon a second car, according to the Justice court version. Constable Walter DeLong was the 'principal victim of Moffen ber's prankful palavering. Consta ble DeLong spent two days in hunting up the perpetrator of the "Joke" and In unearthing the FOUR DROWNED EMPORIA,' Kas., March 23.

THE WEATHER, Friday ,raln; moderate south I westerly winds. society den after Rickard's arrest. Derch said the promoter asked him if he had seen 'him (Rickard)' at either of the apartment houses. At first lie told of answering "yes.-' but later he said: "1 think I told him 1 hadn't Keen him there." On cross-examination the wit ness sad Rickard had never di rectly asked him to lie. He said Fields had given him tickets to boxing bouts at the garden seve ral times. Dr. William Travis Gibbs, sur geon for the Children's Aid soci ety, testified he examined the Schoenfeld girl last month and found she had been assaulted. Girl Previously Delinquent Most of the day Nellie Gasko, 12-year-old chum of Sarah Scho enfeld, was under cross-examina tion. She said Sarah had a very poor memory and that In rehears als at the society headquarters she "helped her along to remem ber some things," they both bad testified o regarding . their ra tions with the promoter. Nellie admitted a number of previous delinquencies and described ex periences in fcrging checks, steal ing, playing truant and other es capades. missing equipment which had been placed in out-of-the way places, accordng to officers. Several cars, temporarily aban doned because of roadside acci dents have been stripped of all equipment recently. Court offi cials have expressed much indig nation over these occurrances. While Moffenber's jokeful mood has averted possible investigation by a grand jury, another Marion county resideent is awaiting trial on a similar charge. This second alleged offender ia Johnny Shaffer, 19. of Gervais. Shaffer is accused of Having sold equipment taken from a car. He is at liberty under cash bail of $750 pending a hearing to be held in justice court today. HAW LEY AND WASHINGTON. March 23. , (By the Associated Press.)
