Letter
Barred
Note Written to Mrs.
Stillman by Beauvais
Refused Place Upon
Court Records
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., July 1.
Attorneys for James A. Stillman
failed today to have spread upon
the records of his divorce suit a
Tetter alleged to have been written
to Mrs. Anne V. Stillman by Fred
Beauvais, Indian guide named as
co-respondent in the banker's
complaint. This letter had previ
ously been received in evidence
and later stricken out. Referee
Glcasou declined again to accept
it.
Testimony Attacked.
Another attack upon the testi
mony of Dr. Hugh L. Russell,
Buffalo osteopath, was made by
John E. Mack, guardian ad litem
for Guy Stillman, the infant,
whose legitimacy was attacked by
Mr. Stillman. That part of Dr.
Russell's testimony which declared
Mrs. Stillman had told the osteo
path that Beauvais was the in
fant's father, was recently strick
en out. It was other statements
referring to Mrs. Stillman's con
sultations with the osteopath in
191 S that Mr. Slack sought to have
erased today.
Referee Gleason said he would
give his decision on the matter at
the next hearing, July 13. There
were no witnesses at today's hear
ing, which adjourned after several
hours of argument. Mr. Stillman
atiemk-u 'lit session but his. wife
was absent.
Stillman in Jolly Mood.
The banker's serious mein of
yesterday was gone. He did not
try to slii) into the hearing un
noticed, and was in a jolly mood
when he arrived with his attor
neys. Attorneys announced after the
hearing that the plaintiff had not
yet rested his case. The next
hearings are set for July 13, 14,
15 and 28 and 29.
It was expected the plalntli'f
would finish up the first day, lend
ing the others for the start of Mrs.
Stillman's counter-attack. She s
known to have more than fifty
witnesses ready to testify, and nj
it was agreed today not to hold
any sessions during August, it
seemed probable that this divorce
case would still be going strong
next fall.

White Slavery Is
Charged to Salem
Pastor With Girl
In custody of a Salem police of
ficer, Rev. Fred Royston and Miss
Frankie Edwards, 18-year-old Sa
lem high school girl, who were
taken into custody last night at
Kelso, Wash., are expected to re
turn this afternoon to Salem,
where they will be arraigned be
fore Judge Unruh in the justice
court.
The Rev. Mr. Royston is charged
with white slavery, and Miss Ed
wards is charged with committing
an immoral act. Both complaints
were filed by her uncle, B. F. Ed
wards, of this city.
Royston, who is well known in
ministerial circles here, was but
recently graduated from a four
year course at the Kimball school
of theology. He had agreed, it was
said, to accept a pulpit at Keizer
Bottom.
A note received from Miss Ed
wards Wednesday afternoon, ad
dressed to her grandmother, Mrs.
S. A. Edwards, 2109 Ferry street,
held the first information which
put officers on the trail of the
pair. It said:
"Don't worry. I am all right
and just as good a girl as when I
left Salem. Frankie." The com
munication was postmarked Os
trander Washington.
The police were first led to be
lieve that Miss Edward's disap
pearance might be connected up
with Royston who had mysterious
ly dropped fro sight, when neigh
bors of the Edwards' stated that
the girl had told them of Royston's
approaches. She had confided,
they told officers, that Royston
had wanted her to leave town with
him.
Royston is married and has a
10-year-old daughter. Both his
wife and his mother, Mrs. M. E.
Royston, refuse to believe the re
port that Royston is the man who
is to be returned here.

No Damage
To Cherries
ByWeather
Entire Crop To Be
Harvested Is Belief
Royal Annes Com
ing In
That the recent rains have done
little damage to the cherry crop
is the opinion of cannery men
here today who state that thus
far they have received very few
which were In any way harmed.
The cloudy weather following
the rain has been largely respon
sible for - the escape of this sea
son's crop. Had the sun shone fol
lowing the rain, it is believed that
considerable damage would have
been done.
E. C. Quinn, manager of the
Oregon Packing company, stated
that he had received no split
cherries at all, and that he ex
pected the entire crop to be har
vested. William Allen, manager
of Hunt Brothers and Fred A.
Kurti renorted that they had re
ceived a few, but none to speak
Royal Annes are being brought
In in great quantities by the grow
ers, but it has not been ascertain
ed as to what the entire pack of
the three canneries will be, the
i Kurtz cannery being the only one
which has set a figure of 250
tons.
While the labor situation in
' the orchards has been somewhat
improved there Is still a shortage
of pickers, but not enough to pre-
vent the crop from being har
vested. Cotton Crop Is

State Deaf
Mutes To
Organize
Will Form Association
At Conference Held
Beginning Tomorrow
At Local School
Between 75 and 100 deaf mutes
of the state, most of them gradu
ates of the Oregon Deaf Mute
school, will gather for a conference
at the school auditorium here be
ginning tomorrow for the purpose
of organising the Oregon State
Association tor the Deaf, a consti
tution for which has already been
drawn up by a committee ready
for adoption.
Alumni of the school have been
hiking forward to the formation
of such an organization in the
state for some time and working
under the leadership of John
Bertram, B. L. Craven, T. A. Ltnd
strom and others, all Portland
alumni, the meeting was called
thtrough the coo-peratlon of E. S.
Tillinghast, superintendent, and
other officials of the state school.
The association, it is under
stood, will follow in a general way
the organizations of other states
in scope and purpose. Washing
ton has had such an organization
for some years, and many of the
eastern states have strong asso
ciations of deaf mutes. The pur
poses will be to unite their com
mon interests and promote the
welfare of the deaf through co
operation. Plans for the association already
outlined call for the regular meet
ing every two years, with election
of officers and action on current
business.

Seattle, with a capital and sur
plus of one million two hundred

deposit decreases were given by
John P. Duke, state supervisor of
banking, as reasons for the sue-,
pension.
Failure of the Scandinavian-
American bank of Tacoma, Wn.,
some months ago, was believed to
have been responsible to a large

closely allied.
Following the action of the di
rectors In suspending, Supervisor
Duke issued a statement in which

tions put by Attorney Wlnstow,

book?" asked Winslow.

stated that be had been shown the
account book introduced as evi
dence, "and that Todd in a con
versation later," had called him
self "a damn fool for showing it
to him.
