GOVERNOR SAYS
ELSINORE FILM
HAS FINE THEME
The Shepherd of the Hills" has
the approval of the leading citizen
of the sovereign state of Oregon.
Governor I. L. Patterson, always
conservative, who has refused to en
dorse a thousand and one move
ments, yesterday added his word ol
praise for "The Shepherd of the
Hills", the film version of which Is
showing for the last times today at
the Elsinore.
It was explained at the guberna
torial offices that a policy of endors
ing nothing which savored of the
commercial had been adopted and
rigidly followed out.
STOKV REAL SERMON
"However," It was added by Gov
ernor Patterson, The Shepherd ol
the Hills' as a story Is certainly a
sermon lor any one and If the mo
tion picture Is anywhere near a por
trayal of the book it should be seen
by every one. Harold Bell Wright
gave the world a wonderful lesson
when he wrote the story, and the
motion picture producers and exhib
itors are adding to Its value In mak
ing It accessible to theatergoers."
Concluding Governor Patterson
added :
"I am a firm believer In the pro
duction of such pictures, with clean
and moral atmospheres, and trust
that there will be more of this kind
shown."
HUNDREDS VOICE APPROVAL
Besides Governor Patterson, a
number of ministers. District Attor
ney J. H. Carson and hundreds of
laymen have approved the picture
which may not be seen after today
The management of the Elsinore
expressed keen regret today when It
learned that Mary Lewis, singer,
who was scheduled to appear here
next Thursday, notified George B
Guthrie that It would be necessary
to cancel her engagement. A substi
tution, which bookers have promised
will be equally excellent, is prom
ised, and those who have made res
ervations are urged to retain them
Miss Lewis has returned to New
York.
- "And don't forget 'Man, Woman
and Sin.' starring Jeanne Easels and
John Gilbert, which opens next
Tuesday." advised the management.
The widely heralded picture deals
with the "Clarion Call of the Press".

papers will be made Monday,
The Porland bureau hereafter will
be the relay point for all news

United Press which heretofore ter

From these focal points state and
regional wires extend in all direc

The United Press now has six
wires from Its San Francisco relay
in addition to the transcontinental
trunk circuits, distributing the In

One of these sy: terns extends north
through Oregon, Washington and
British Columbia.
Effective Monday, however, the

The trunk system was brought
to Portland by the United Press
through the cooperation of the
Portland Oregon Journal and the

MEREDITH DOESN'T
'CHOOSE TO RUN'
Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 21. VP)
Edwin T. Meredith, former secretary
of agriculture is not a candidate for
the presidency, he told state party
leaders In session here this noon,
after a proposal had been made by
Lester Drcnnan, of Des Moines, that
Iowa democrats get behind Mr.
Meredith as a "favorite son" can
didate.
"I am not a candidate for the
presidency," Mr. Meredith said. "I
appreciate from the bottom of my
heart your offer to er.dose me for
that office, but I wish only to work
with you to see that this state sends
an upstanding delegation to the
democratic national convention."
The issues, Mr. Meredith said, are
prohibition, world peace and agri
cultural equity.

The Oregon Trail was made by
people of sublime faith and
wretched Judgment, so far as their
own fate was concerned. The odds
were against every one who started.
If they could have carried Insur

less heroic; but It would have been

before a house Judiciary committee
by Mabel Walker Willebrandt, as
sistant attorney general.
Mrs. Willebrandt endorsed a bill
by Representative Stalker of New
York, republican, which would
strengthen the Volstead act by pro
viding a fine up to $10,000 or im
prisonment up to five years or both
for illegal manufacture, sale or
transportation of liquor. The Vol
stead act Imposes six months' Im
prisonment or a fine up to J1000 or
coin ior tnese oiienses. she said.
'The hands of the courts are tied
at present when a large liquor of-

"This maximum fine and Imprison
ment enables the Judges to impose

sentences commensurate vith the
offense and will hit directly at the

"At the same time It leaves to
the Judges discretionary power to
Impose small sentences where the
cases are not of a serious nature.
"This means the man who is
caught with a half pint of liquor In
his automobile will not receive the
sentence of a felon."

listened to argument In the habeas
corpus case of Ellsworth Kelley, one
of the convicts who shot their way
out of the penitentiary In August
1025, killing two guards. This Is
Kelley's latest resort to escape the
death penalty. Kelley urges that he
was Illegally Imprisoned at the time.
This contention was upheld by
Judge McMahan of the lower court
for Marion county, but he held that
a writ of habeas cornus would nn
hold In Kelley's case since he did
not claim Illegal Imprisonment when
he was under trial for murder. On
this case also hinges the fate pre
