The state supreme court Tues
day reversed the decree of Judge
Taswell of the Multnomah coun
ty circuit court in a suit brought
by Mary H. GomolL a resident
of Illinois, to share In the estate
of Robert G. Lutke, who died in
Portland on September 20, 1930.
The lower court held for the plain
tiff. A will executed by Lntke short
ly before his death provided that
38000 of his estate should go to
his half-brother, Charles Gomolt
and to his heirs forever. Gomoll
died a few months later, leaving
a widow, Mary H. Gomoll, and a
daughter, Margaret Temple, both
of whom were living in Chicago.
The sole question involved in
the appeal was whether the 3800 0
bequeathed by Lutke to Charles
Gomoll and his heirs should be
divined between his widow and
daaghte.
The supreme court held that
Margaret Temple was the only
lineal deeendest of the half broth
er of the testator and was en
titled to the entire bequest.
: The opinion was written by
Justice Bailey.
Other opinions handed down by
the supreme court included:
: Motion to dismiss appeal denied
in Schramm ts. Osborn.
Motion to dismiss allowed In
Lents vs. state Industrial" accident
commission and in Fisher vs. state
Industrial accident commission.

for the constituted authorities in
the-prevention and suppression ot
crime was pledged by the Ameri

tion In Chicago," Commander
Warner declared. "This state com
mittee is being appointed to study
the crime problem and devise
plans for the- active participation
of the American Legion in curbing
criminal endeavor in Oregon. Re
cently reported crimes both with
in and without our state has made
the appointment, of the commit
tee pertinent at this time." -
Integrity in public service is to
be another phase of the commit
tee's study... -
"1 am particularly Interested in
that phase of the work," General
White said. "Such, crimes as kid
naping are spectacular and arouse
high, public feeling, but an even
more serious erlme is that of the
bank - wrecker and peculator
whose crimes strip hundreds of
people of their savings. No less
serious Is the official who betrays
a publio trust for his own 'gain.
I feel that both types ot criminals
should be given the committee's
earnest attention, along with the
more . common types of public
enemies."
