SALVATION ANGEL TO WED CLUBMAN San Francisco, Aft Rhcba Craw ford, who several years ago won public notice as the the Salvation Army's "Ansel of Broadway," an nounced Wednesday that she would marry Ray Splivalo, wealthy San Francisco clubman. - The announcement closely fol lowed the granting of a divorce in St. Petersburg, Fla., to J.

She met Splivalo here four years ago. MRS. M'CORNACK WILLS SCHOLARSHIPS Portland (IP) Regarding the Ton gue Point site as a base for sub marines and destroyers Just as Im portant as It ever was although it i maintained on an inactive basis. the navy department opposes the bUl of Senator Stetwer to pay Clat sop county $100,000 as reimburse ment for money expended in acquir ing the land and donation to the government, accordme to a dispatch received Wednesday from the Ore gon Journal's Washington corres pondent. This Information, the dis patch said, was conveyed to the chairman of the committee on claims In a letter from Ernest Lee Jahncke, assistant secretary of the navv. reoorting his disapproval of the Stciwer bill. Jahncke reviews the steps taken toward establishing the base and concuues as iuiuwo. Thereafter the navy department constructed certain watertont im provements at a total cost of $313, lon hut the develODment of the site for' submarine and destroyer base was never completed. The property has remained inactive ana u uc ing held in reserve by the navy department to be available In case of emergency. "It Is inferred that Uie donation of this land to the United States for the purpose or a submarine ana destroyer base was due largely to anticipation that the base would be active and that the county would benefit from the resulting business to a sufficient extent to compensate It. for Its expense. However, the hat hiu been inactive and such resulting business has not material ized. . "The Importance of this property to the navy department, due to its strategic location and other consid erations, is still as great as it was at the time it was conveyed to tne United States but existing circum stances demand that it be retained In an inactive status. "The navv department does not consider it desirable to establish a precedent by reimbursing Clat son county in any amount on ac count of the purchase by it of this tract of land. "In view of the foregoing it Is recommended that the bill be not enacted. . compelling the utilities' to segre gate this department from otlier departments and ths legislatures of other states are considering the matter. It is understood that can didates for. governors in at least two states nave made sucn legisla tion a feature in their platform. The protest lias not yet been drawn up although the Investiga tion is said to be under way In the state on an extensive scale with dealers In a number of other cities uniting as they are here and it Is possible a state-wide organization will be perfected in the near fu ture for protection of the dealers against such practices.

CLAIM UNFAIR SALE TACTICS BY UTILITIES (Continued from page 1) Charges are made in complaint filed in circuit court by Hugh Mc Master of Portland, against Donald W. Miles, local attorney, that Miles, at one time attorney for Peter Beyer, accused under a criminal charge, drew down $500 ball money after a dismissal of the Beyer case and converted It to his own use. Miles, when the complaint was called to his attention stated that the $500 was taken by him as an attorney fee which Beyer hod agreed to pay and which became Beyer's by right of a mortgage given to McMaster to cover a loan made to secure the money to post as oau. Beyer's affairs received quite prominent attention a few years ago," stated Miles, in explaining the case. "He was a butter and cheese maker, an expert one, em ployed by various creameries in the valley, tie was maae manager oi the creamerv at St. Paul and after time a dispute arose about nis wages. As a result he paid nimseu out of the funds what he thought he had due and the creamery claim ed he was $2500 short in his account and had him arrested for embezzle ment. He came to me and I agreed to defend him for $500. He got in touch with several people, among them Hugh McMaster. who came up here and posted the $500 ban, taking mortgage from Beyer covering considerable personal property and the mortgage is on record in wis county now. I got Beyer out of this scrape. Later Beyer came up here ana took some of the mortgaged prop erty, or it was claimed he did, and he was arrested again for larceny by bailee. He came back to me and I agreed to take his case unaer trie same fee. Beyer was again released and his. ball released as wen. I took it for my fee. The money was Beyer's, he gave a mortgage to Mc Master to cover it and he had a right to release It to me as attor- nev'a fee. I think mis wui oe shown if the case should come to trial." The Pas. Man. IP Every re source of the north Wednesday sped to aid Bud Stewart, youthful musti er, as he raced with death across the prairie, his aeven dog husky team hauling the emancipated and barely living frame ot Egatook, an Eskimo trapper. Egatook was caught In a raging blizzard In the ChurchlU region Feb ruary 13 and he crawled back to his cabin with both legs and one arm frozen. When meager medical attention at the outpost settlement failed, Stewart loaded the Eskimo In his sled and set out for The Pas, lino milM awav. Word of the race with death reached here late Tuesday. Mount ed police, Hudson Bay and National Railway officials and Indian agents laid their plans to aid the rescue. A special 2.000 type engine was dispatched from Mile 130 and sped inward the winter terminus of the Hudson bay railroad with medical supplies to stop the spread oi aeaaiy gangrene. It was hoped the crew of the en gine would spy the desperately plod ding dog sled, take me two bi aboard and arrive here In time to place the suffering man in a hos pital.

The city. It is claimed, has been divided into district and appliance salesmen assigned to each to work An the nrnsnects listed. An even more serious abuse, the Independent dealers say. is the practice of the gas and power comDanles of charging the pe rises of their sales departments to operating expenses that form a part of the structure upon which gas and power rates are nxra. The effectof this latter practice, the Independents point out, is miarantM the aas and power com' pa riles against any loss irom ou accounts, enable them to solicit business on deferred payment plans beyond the reach of the small dealers and shift the burden of expense from their own sales departments onto the ahouldera of the public users of gas and power. The contention of the Independ ent dealers before the public serv ice commission, and In the courts If court action becomes necessary, will be that the utility companies should be compelled to operate their annllance and supply depart ments entirely separate from their service business, and mat tney should be forbidden to charge any part of the expenses of their appli ance departments to operating ex penses. A further contention contemplat ed is that the data regarding ap pliances secured through service surveys, made possible through the access given utility service agents to nrivate homes, shall either be restricted to use for service pur poses only or made available to all dealers In appliances. The meeting here Tuesday eve nlng was, it was explained, only a preliminary conference in a move ment to organise all of the inde pendent appliance dealers In the Willamette valley In a fight on Uie abuses practiced by the utility departments.
