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. Harold
Sommers, first husband of Miss
Crawford. Sommers is obtaining a
decree of separation alleging his
wife was more devoted to her
evangelistic work than to him.
Splivalo was divorced In 1928,
his wife charging that he was de
voted more to "sport and convivial
companions" than to her.
Miss Crawford married Sommers,
a crippled war veteran, in Florida
in 1024. 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 purpose of making power and
oras service investigations, agents
of the power and gas companies
have made a detailed census of
electrical and gas appliances in
each home served and turned the
dat over to sales agents to be
used as nrospect lists.
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

RUSSIAN CHURCH
HEAD CENSURES
P0PE1APPEAL
Moscow (JP) The answer of the
Russian orthodox church to a move
ment rapidly spreading over most of
Christendom . protesting . "persecution"-of
reUgkm In the Soviet union
has been voiced by the Holy Synod
acting head, Metropolitan Bergiua.
That answer is an attack on Pope
Plus' recent encyclical against "per
secutions ot Christians in Russia."
and a denial that such "persecution"
existed. It was given to foreign
newspapermen by the metropolitan
himself in an interview itiesaay.
The metropolitan censured the
pope's encyclical in uncompromising
terms. He also assauea bishop nwtj
Sherman Longley of Iowa, of the
Episcopal church, declaring tnai
Rishon Longley not only had identl
fled himself with the views of the
pope, but also had urged "crusaders
against the Soviets" not to stop even
at "sanguinary conWcta "in at
tempting to rescue the Russian
church.
"We regard all thess outbursts as
fundamentally contradictory to the
spirit of true Christian teaching.
They should be condemned by all
Christian believers." he said. He de
clared that he saw nothing detri
mental to his church in tne itussiau
government's recent decision lot
bidding ringing of church bells.
