VETERANS TO

Deductions from Bonus

Support in Courts Would
Increase State Deficit
at Embarrassing Time
Legal action In behalf of Oregon
world war veterans who have been
required to refund allowances paid
them for educational aid before be
ing permitted to accept the bene
fits of the state bonus and loan act
which, If successful, will Increase the
present state deficit by at least
$371,000 will be Instituted In the
courts here within the coming month,
the Capital Journal Is-advised today.
The suit will be Instituted by a
group of war veterans who were
compelled, under regulations pro
mulgated by the legislature and the
World War Veterans State Aid
commission for the administration
of the bonus act, to refund sums
received for educational aid before
being granted cash bonuses or
loans authorized by the people in a
constitutional amendment,' according
to Joe Minton, local ex-service man
who has ben engaged as one of a
battery of attorneys to handle the
case.
The contention of the plaintiff

of the refund qualification for eligi

the legislature and the bonus com

14 SWEPT OFF
OVER DUE SHIP
DURING STORM
Panama, Aug. 21 W) The story
of a fierce battle with sea and wind,
In which 14 lives were lost, Is re
counted In the log ol the Mystic
line steamship, W. 8. McKenney,
which docked here last night long
overdue from Seattle.
The log shows that on August 8,
when the men perished, the ship
near midnight, while fighting a
strong gale, lost Its steering con
trol. The engines were cut .down
to half speed and an unsuccessful
attempt was made to bring the
steamer's prow to windward.
. A heavy sea struck the vessel,
chitting the forward deck load. The
port rigging foremast was broken
off, the mast crashing .over the
. starboard side of the ship, and the
whale deck of lumber went over
board. The engines then were stopped
and all hands were called on deck
to cover the hatch, the cover hav
ing been washed off by a 'tremen
dous wove that swirled over the ship
' tearing away everything on deck
from stem to stern. The windows
of the upper chartroom were brok
en, the chart wheelhouso flooded,
the doors to the saloon smashed In
and the lifeboats carried away.
It was while the crew was at
tempting to cover the hatch that a
wave swished 14 sailors Into the sea,
none of whom was rescued.

GOOD EVENING
SIPS FOR SUPPER
By Dob Utjcba .
A few days before Mr. Al Faussett
was scheduled to make his second
canoe Jump over Silver Creek Falls,
we received through the mall a
printed poster announcing the
event. On it was scribbled the words
asking us to mention the matter In
our column. We dont know whether
the Intrepid canoe jumper sent this
himself or not. But wc do know
we didn't mention It.
We for one are glad the second
canoe jump didn't come off. Not
that we are against canoe jumps.
If canoe jumpers desire to get a
hectlo thrill by jumping In canoes,
either over falls, off church steeples,
down elevator shafts ,or even from
the leaning tower of Pisa, our only
advice to them Is to jump if they
enjoy It.
But we do object to seeing the
last stands of nature being desecrat
ed by huge gangs who go out to
see canoe jumps Instead of beauty.
If our silence in any way helped
to maintain Silver Falls as a beauty
spot immune from canoe jumpers,
lemonade stands, pop bottle pal
aces and their ilk, then we haven't
lived In vain.
We hope Marion county will main
tain a few places where the voice
of nature Is not constantly inter
rupted by the barking of the hot
dog. We have 57 miles of state
highways and 135 miles of market
roads, almost every inch- of which
is available for hot dog kennels.
And the First National bank build
ing may be utilized for canoe jumps
with a good crowd assured any Sat
urday night just before the movies.
Let's keep Silver Falls to the uses
for which the Creator designed It.
Eugene papers are bragging about
two law students who received the
highest marks in their courses and
advise the world to "watch them."
With our usual-retiring modesty we
may add that we, too, once received
a mark In a bar examination which
was a top-notcher. But anyone who
would trust us with then- fortune In
a law suit would be headed straight
to bankruptcy and ruin. It's been
our observation that the man who
heads his class In the university is
often at the tail end of the bread
line in real life.
If we remember rightly the scrip
ture enjoins that for one to attain
the kingdom of heaven he must
think as a Uttle child '
The Rev. Mr. Reasoner seems to
be well on the heavenly road,

After the election had been held

When the council convened It was

CHAPLIN LOSES
$750,000 ALONG
WITHJLS WIFE
Los Angeles, CatAug. 21 m
Charlie Chaplin, screendom's fam
ous comedian, tomorrow -sits on the
long end of an act that lacks all
the elements of comedy but costs
$750,000.
For tomorrow his wife, lata Grey
Chaplin, will seek the final decree
in the interlocutory divorce granted
her on August 22, 1927, which will
sever the marital relations of the
two. With It goes a, court award
to her of $750,000 from her husband.
This was the announcement made
today by. Roland Rich Wooley, at
torney for Mrs. Chaplin, who said
he would represent her in court
at the final proceedings.
Outside of the $750,000 and the
loss of his wife, it's Just another
day to Chaplin, the actor said. To
his wife It brings reports of her
probable marriage to Roy D'Arcy,
film actor.
"The day when the decree becomes
final will be just like any other day
to. me," Chaplin said. "As a matter
of fact, I hadn't even given It a
thought" -
Presented with the report of her
contemplated marriage, Mrs. Chap
lin said:
"It would be foolish for me to
say we ore going to be married.
First because Mr. D'Arcy Is not in
a position to do so and second be
cause one can never tell what will
happen In the meantime. We are,
of course, very dear friends and
while we have discussed the subject
on several occasions' we have never
reached a definite decision and
probably will not until he Is in a
position to talk marriage."

Mrs. William Schaffer, whose son.

An operation by Dr. Adolf Lorens,
