Wins Divorce
From Lew Ayres

ger Rogers, glamorous film actress,

"told me to get out and go home
to my mother."
Questioned during brief testi
mony by her attorney, Nell S. Mc
Carthy, Miss Rogers testified she
and Ayres separated May 14, 1936.
"Did you and he have an alterca
tion at that time?"
"Yes."
"Had you had any difficulties
prior to that time for some period?1
"Yes, we had."
"And had there been criticism on
on his part of you and your
friends?
"Well," the actress replied after
some hesitation, "he had constant
ly criticized me and my friends and
my work."
"Had that upset you and affected
your health?"
"It made me very nervous. I lost
a lot of weight, and finally one day
he told me to get out and go home
to my mother, and there was noth
ing else for me to do."
Miss Rogers declared she had liv
ed ever since with her mother, Mrs.
Lela E. Rogers, who corroborated her
testimony.
Ayres made no appearance and
Superior Judge Clement L. Shinn
granted the decree by default.
A blonde In pictures for years, Miss

Demos Hunting
For Candidates
With 20 democratic precinct com
mitteemen and women . in atten
dance at the meeting of the Mar
ion county democratic central com
mittee at the courthouse Tuesday
evening and with an additional
group of 15 loyal supporters of the
democratic cause present, develop
ments for the coming campaign
were rather negative and no an
nouncements were forthcoming of
the entry of any new aspirants for
any county offices.
As a result E. G. Neal, Stayton,
county chairman, and David Rich
ards, state committeeman, will head
a committee of five to survey the
situation and prevail upon some of
the faithful to file for county jobs
now vacant on the democratic tic
ket. Neal intimated he would probably
be in a resceptive mood for the
county Judgeship and will probably
oppose Kenneth Bayne, a commit
teeman, who has already announced
that he will seek the position.
The Hatch law, which prohibits
political activity by government em
ployes, was attacked by Neal, who
for some months past has been in
the employ of the Bonneville power
administration working with the
field crew In and around Salem on
the substation and transmission
line project.
Youth Kills Old
Pair, Then Himself
Chicago, March 13 VP) A crip
pled youth committed suicide after
slaying an elderly couple who In
tervened when he attempted to rav
ish their granddaughter.
The youth was Howard Larimer,
18, a senior in the Morrill school
for crippled children where he had
been regarded as a brilliant stu
dent.
His victims were Hugh J. Welch
72, and his wife, Mary, 70. The
Mayings occurred late yesterday In
their south side apartment.
Bernadette Welch, 17, victim of
the attempted attack, and her sis
ter, Mary Ann, 18, were hysterical
for several hours after the shoot
ings.
Mary Ann, a schoolmate of Lari
mer, discovered her grandparents'
bodies. She summoned a neighbor,
Mrs, Mercedes Carlson, who found
Larimer struggling with Bernadette,
She said Larimer fired at her but
missed. While he was reloading
the gun Bernadette and Mrs. Carl
son escaped. Larimer later was
found fatally wounded.

Coroner's Jury
Finds Wilev Hill
Triple Slayer
(Continued irom pag if
Half-Hour Inspection
The room occupied by Hill had
been Inspected every 30 minutes by
the night attendants and a few min
utes after the day shift took over
at 6 o'clock this morning. Homer
Wylam, an attendant, called to Hill
to get up. Hill moved as If to com
ply with the order and Wylam left.
When Hill had had time to dress
and had not appeared, the attend
ant returned to find him sitting on
the bed, leaning over as If to put
on his clothing. He stepped Inside
the room and, upon noticing blood,
called for assistance. Dr. W. L. Lid
beck, pathologist and autopsy surg
eon, found it necessary to apply emer
gency clamps to Hill before removing
him to the hospital where he died
shortly before 8 o'clock from loss of
blood.
Hospital records show that Hill
was born In Elk City, Okla., in 1911
and had lived in the Talent district,
Jackson county, since 1922. He was
received at the hospital February
1936, later paroled to his father
and returned when his condition did
not imnrove. Records reveal that he
suffered from delusions, particular
ly those of persecution, and that he
was of suicidal rather than homi
cidal tendencies.
3 Witnesses Called
Only three witnesses were called
in connection with Hill s death. Wy
lam told of the hours of work and
conditions and of finding Hill. Dr.
Lid beck described the Injuries and
treatment while Dr. Evans was close
ly questioned relative to conditions
at the institution.
"Indirectly these deaths are the
result of under-staffed Institution
working long hours with crowded
conditions and directly to the de
mented man we suspected," Dr. Ev
ans told the Jury. "These things
have happened before in many other
institutions and will happen again
as long as these conditions exist.'
Dr. Evans explained that the ra
tio of employes to Inmates was 16 to
1 for the day shift and 150 to 1 at
night and that because of this It
was nothing unusual for one ward
to be without an attendant while he
was making his round in adjoining
ones. The attendants work 12 hours
a day, six days a week and receive
from $52.50 to $62.50 a month, with
board, he said.
"Proper segregation Is impossible,
the receiving ward is crowded and
transfers are often necessary to the
chronic wards," Dr. Evans replied to !
questions. "There are 100 new and
re-admissions a month, with the re
ceiving hospital of four wards hav
ing only 100 beds which must be
available for surgical patients and
others needing special hospitaliza
tion, leaving not more than one-half
of the beds available for new pa
tients. With over-crowding we can
expect more trouble and have con
sidered ourselves here fortunate that
more and even more serious cases of
this kind have not occurred. It Is
'dynamite' to house turbulent cases
in dormitories but we have no other
place to keep them. These cases
should be segregated."
Oregon at Bottom
Dr. Evans said efforts have been
made for years to have the situation
remedied but nothing has been done
and not only can more trouble be
expected but the welfare of the pa
tients Is threatened. He pointed out
to the Jury that Oregon Is almost
at the bottom of the list of similar
Institutions in the nation, with the
exception of a few states In the
"deep south." Washington allows $18
a month for the caro of It's Insane,
California $24 per month and Oregon
only $13.50 per month per patient,
with the 8-hour system used in the
other two states. He said that 39
percent of first admissions can be
cured and that with paroles grant
ed as close as possible in regard to
safety, the Institution population is
increasing at the rate of 100 patients
a year and is now over 400 beyond
its normal capacity with 600 patients
on parole.
Called before the Inquest called by
Coroner E. L. Barrlck and Lyle J.
Page, district attorney, in connec
tion with the deaths of the three
strangled Inmates were Irwin Dull,
night attendant who discovered the
bodies; Ira Briggs, V. L. Whatley and
Robert Oilstram, who assisted in
their removal; Dr. Lidbeck, who said
autopsies indicated the three victims
died of asphyxiation presumably
caused by strangulation; Dr. Robert
Evans, who said that the patient
suspected of the killings "perhaps
had enough mentality" to plan and
carry out the deed, and Dr. J. C.
Evans. Members of the Jury were I.
M. Doughton, Herman Johnston, T.
M. Hicks, Milton L. Meyers, U. S.
Page and A. H. Leach.

Washington, March 13 (P) Presi

the ending of the Finnish-Russian

In a formal statement Mr. Roose

The chief executive declared that

It is clear, Mr. Roosevelt said, that

to accept a material weakening of
their own future defense of their

Peace Treaty
Ends Fighting
After 105 Days
(Continued from page 1)
He highly praised the conduct of
Finland's stubborn defenders, say
ing their feats were "astonishing
and beyond expectations," but re
inforcements were lacking.
The public which reacted to the
peace with numb bewilderment
also was lauded by Tanner.
"The home front acted beauti
fully and the people's mot ale was
praiseworthy," he said, under al
most daily bombing attacks and
other hardships of war.
The response of this public to the
peace was uncertain as yet, but for
eign observers took it for granted
that a change In the government
was imminent.
Defensively, Tanner asserted:
Not Finns' Fault
"The surrender la not our fault-
It la the fault of our being forsaken
by our fellow democracies,"
Despite loss through the treaty
of all the Karelian Isthmus, Vil
puri, all the shores of Lake Ladoga,
the strategic peninsula of Hanko
on which Russia will put a naval
and great chunks of land In
M,e Arctic, Tanner said it was
wisest to make peace while Fin
land's defenses : remained "un
broken." Tanner described the terms of
peace as "unexpectedly severe" and
much more severe tnavi those de
manded by the Soviet union last
autumn."
Our representatives tried to
bring the negotiations to modify
the terms, but in vain," he said.
Peace a Heavy One . '
The peace will be a heavy one,"
he added, "and our future possibili
ties of defense will be restricted."
He added, however, that "Finland
will once more arise to be a vital
state and Its people will find a
means of sustenance.
What kind of peace?" Tanner
asked. "A severely wounded na
tion Is surrendering Important in
dustrial and agricultural territor
ies." This, said the foreign minister.
creates new responsibilities and
and makes a new building program
necessary. He called for a united
nation to carry out the reconsollda
tlon. We have risen from ruin be
fore," he declared. "We have plen
ty of land left.
The united iront is needed lust
as surely during peace as war.
"There Is the loundation lor a
new dawn for our nation in the
future."
Finns Withdrawing
Tanner gave the treaty terms In
a broadcast to the nation. He said
Finnish troops would withdraw
from the battle zones gradually, at
the rate of seven kilometers a day.
He said the pact was signed at fi
p. m., Tuesday, Moscow time (6 a.
. PST).
All signs pointed to a thorough
examination of the treaty by par
liament. Eighty-five of the 200
seats are held by the social demo
cratic party headed by Foreign
Minister Tanner, a principal target
of attack in Russian propaganda.
Tanner has headed the foreign
affairs ministry in the coalition
government formed after the start
of the war and his party has the
largest parliamentary representa
tion.
