Bonus Board Wants Indict ments Pressed, Against Overturf and Others The ex-service men's state aid commission has sent to United States Attorney John S. Coke in Portland a resolution inquiring as to the status of the fraud indict ments returned by a federal grand jury in February. .1923, against H. J. Overturf, Charles Carroll, Charles Haines and James Ryan ot Deschutes county. Overturf was a member of the board of appraisers for the count? under the bonus and loan act, while the other three men were real estate operators. They were charged with using the mails in fraudulent manner in connection with ex-service men's loan pro ceedings involving moneys voted by the people of Oregon for vete rans of the World war.

Coke Xot Itlaiued Members of the commission said that the resolution Is not in criti cism of United States Attorney Coke. They say he has been fair and above board, and that per sons of influence at Washington are exerting powerful influence in behalf of the accused men. "At the time of the indictment ot H. J. Overturf, under IS counts alleging use of the mails to de fraud, and one count alleging con spiracy, he was serving as a mem ber of the legislature," says a statement prepared by the com mission. "He was not arrested until after" that body adjourned. Of the 18 charges, one covered conspiracy to use the mails to de fraud. The offenses charged are felonies, punishable by- imprison ment in the federal penitentiary. The bonus fraud probe commenc ed in the fall of 1922, when rum ors reached the ears of the bonus commission to the effect that val ues on property in Deschutes county, which were submitted as security for loans, were being kited to the skies. A quiet inves tigation followed. The bonus com mission asked the attorney gener ral at Salem for a special investi gation and Wilber Henderson and Robert Maguire were appointed deputies attorneys general. They commenced a thorough probe, re vealing evidence stronglyindicat ing that the state had been de frauded in many loans. Big Fund Involved "Governor Pierce states that he can hardly believe that the attor ney general at Washington will al low the influence that appears to be being brought to cause these indictments, which involve $30, 000,000 voted by the people of Oregon In grateful appreciation of the sacrifices of Oregon's vete rans of the World war, to be dismissed." Governor James Hirckle of New Mexico today! granted permission for Mexican federal I, troops to pass through New Mexico en route from Nogales Arizona, to Eagle; Pass and Laredo, Texas. Request for such permission was made bysSecretary Hughes of the state department. A THRIFT WEEK STORY Arizona Gives Aid ' . TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 17. Gov ernor Hunt of Arizona said tonight-he had; granted the request of Secretary of State Hughes for permission to move Mexican troops through Arizona in order thait "all aid -possible be given the Obiregon .government" in its ef forts to put down the present re volution, j "The present government of the Mexican republic is the first one lor many yeijrs that has been worthy of support, and no loUbt will be fully feble to cope with the present situation," said Governor Hunt. ; ' BEDDING AND FOOD IE MUCH NEEDED Three Families in Salem in Destitute Circumstances Must Be Assisted Mrs. J. A." Carson, president' ot the Associated Charities,! phoned to The Statesman yesterday1 af ternoon, saying three families in Salem had been found to be en tirely destitute. The cases had been investigated. .' Wood was furnished to the fam ilies, but they need food and bed ding. One mattress is needed, and warm bedding, and children's clothing would not come amiss. These families should have po tatoes, beans, prunes, and such substantial food. There are surely many people here who could spare some of the things that are needed. Take the things to the Red Cross head quarters, on State street, or phone 332, and some one will be found to call for them. After a few weeks, when spring work opens up, the need will not be so great. But in the mean time these and other families in the same circumstances must be tided over. Their services will be sorely needed when the busy gea Bon comes on. THOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 17. Movements of approximately 2000 Mexican troops with their equip ment from N,ico, Sonora. through Arizona and rthence into Texas to Laredo, was authorized today by Governor W.: P. Hunt in response to a message from Secretary of State .Charles E.' Hughes. BRANCH BUD NOW BEING PHD 0.-W. R, & N, Head .Issues Statement of Plans for - Milton-Umapine PORTLAND, Or,.; Jan. 17. Construction work 'on a three mile branch: railroad line from MHton to Umaplne, Or.j will be started within 60 days by the Oregon-Washington Railroad Navigation company, according to a statement tonight by J, P. O'Brien, general manager, , The expenditure will be approximately 5100,000,. " The branch will connect with the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation company tracks about, a mile east of .Milton and will be an electric line. The terri tory tapped has been recently de veloped, according to Mr. O'Brion ana me project .win provide an outlet for large quantities. of fruit. Robert Nelson and Elizabeth Ann Martin had a beautiful church wedding. In many heart-to-heart talks befors they Were married they made one solumn vow never to have any secrets from "each other. This vow had been reli giously kept up to the time of the opening of this story when they had baen married just three months. They had purchased a little home on the installment plan, a home of six rooms, before their marriage and thej were pay ing $40 a month and they would receive a deed after a certiif number of mouths'. Money was not very plentiful and both had rather extravagant astes. They were quite determined not to make bills and to keep free from debt. They had been so happy. They sometimes felt that so cloudless a sky might sometime require shadows to .bring out its perfectness. Robert had taken the first ten tative step toward membership in the Masonic lodge before his mar .riage. and this was the cause of the first cloud in the horizon When the time came for his ad mission, he supposed he would do -just as his father had always been iu the habit of doing, but on his hat anj overcoat after dinner give his wife a sor ot peek (it might fall anywhere on her face from her forehead to 'her 'chin) which he called a kiss, and say he was going to the lodge, but Rob ert found that;with himself and his Elizabeth Ann, leaving home was quite a different matter. He had mentioned at noon about his admission to the lodge that night and when he returned to dinner he found Elizabeth Ann in Tears looking as woe begone as a de serted wife might have done. He finally, found the cause of her- un hapiness to be the fact that he was going out for the tfight and as he coull not change the date, compromises were made by both, with the result that she went to her mother's for the evening. As he was detained later than he ex pected she did not remain at her mother's until his return, but In sisted that hr father ta'ke her home which he did. Robert not finding her at ner father's went to their own ''little home, and found , Elizabeth ... Ann drenched with tears and exceedingly un happy. After peace had been re stored, she reminded him ot his promise never, to have any secrets from her. This was a poser to Robert and not a little embarrass ing. The whole Nelson family had a keen sense of humor and were fond of practical jokes. In the reaction from the tears and kisses necessary to wipe them away, and as she persisted in knowing what h&i "been, done that -night, he liar nesped. his, vivid imagination and started with' it, expecting to keep it pretty well in hand during the journey of prevarication. , (Contiaued tomorrow) P.S. The first month had begn made gf honey. In the second, the" proportion-of honey vwas less tn the third still less. As a- steady diet honey is somewhat cloying. The decoction callei mar riage can be made palatable and quite nectar-like" with' rather a small proportion of honey. 3ome-v thing less sweet but more nourish ing takes its place. LUUftlttV&HS'l! 0BREG0N ASKS THAT ARMY CROSS SJATES (Continued from page 1) ment with reference to the troop movement is in line with the pres ent policy of the government in supporting the constitutional gov ernment of Mexico, and also in harmony with the traditional at titude of both countries with re spect to border police, operations. Except for brief periods when a constitutional government of Mex ico was hard to distinguish among contending revolutionary factions, there always has been a tacit agreement at least between the two countries under which the troops of the one country could pass beyond the border within! a limited area in the pursuit of; bandits who had conducted raid3 on the other side of the interna tional line. Where the Mexican government has been operating against bandits or revolutionists it has been customary to permit Mex lean federal forces to pas3 over railroads on the American side where transportation facilities were not available on the Mexi can side. Texas Wait. AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 1". Fav-' orable action of President Obre gon's request for permission to move troops through Texas to La:edo and Eagle Pass, submitted through the United States depart ment, is being deterred pending further information on. details on proposed troop movements. Acting Governor T. W. Davidson said in his repl to Secretary of State HuBhes'late today. He asserted, however, in tase the matter, is regarded as excep tionally urgsnt that the secretary of state so notify him. In that case, it is understood, he will likely reach an immediate deci sion. Otherwise Governor Neff will probably get back to the state before action is taken.
