Administer Estate.
Charged with violation of the uni
form bankrupt .system, in showing
preference to a creditor, R. Rogoway
& Sons, of the defunct Second street
furniture concern, are involved in a
nit filed in the circuit court this morn
ing by the trustee in bankruptcy, L.
G. Lcwclling.
The plaintiff in the case is Attor
ney I.. G. I.ewclling, who is termed
the trustee in bankruptcy of R. Rog
oway, William "Rogoway and Marc
Rogoway, late partners as K. Rogo
way & Sons against the defendant R.
Goldblatt, who conducts a second hand
clothing store at the corner of First
and I. o" streets.
According to the complaint the
firm was declared bankrupt April 14,
1913, and the plaintiff was duly ap
pointed trustee. Goldblatt has been a
creditor of the firm since March 1,
1913, and that during the month of
March, R. Rogoway & Sons in viola-1
Hon of an act of congress to cstab-i
lish a uniform system of bankruptcy
did withdraw' from the property of
said firm the sum of $354, transferring
and paying it to said defendant, R.
Goldblatt, who was acting through
his agent, A. Goldblatt.
As stipulated in the complaint the
payment was made In the month of
March and that the defendants at the
time had reasonable cause to believe
the enforcement of such was in effect
a preference to them.
As a separate charge, the complaint
alleges that on April 2, 1913, the Rogo
ways withdrew goods and wares of
flu value of 5.43 and transferred it
to the same parties, vhich was also
in violation of the uniform bankrupt
system.
The plaintiff prays the court for the
setting aside of these preferences and
for judgment against the Goldblatts
in thf two sums, with 6 per cent inter
est from the respective dates. Attor
neys f.. T,. Swan and Gale S. Hill rep
resent the trustee.

ing them to tile bonds in the sum of
$22,000.

LAYMEN HERE THINK TO
MUCH OF THEMSELVES
Britisher Speaking Before Sum
School Says That It
Appears So.
Eugene, Or., July 23. "But in this
country it seems to be the layman that
thinks rather too much of himself and
has what we call in England the
swollen head, said Ur. r. H. Hay
ward, of London, today in addrcssiiu
the assembly of the University of Ore
gon Summer School. Dr. Hay ward
had come to speak on "Professional
Egoism, the fallacy of his own j
perior excellence nursed in his heart
by the expert in every line, but since
his arrival the eminent British cduca
tor has come to the conclusion that
the trouble, if any, in this country
must oe something ditterent.
"Professional Etjoism," said Dr.
Hayward, "is really a rather serious
matter in Europe. There." he de
clares, "the medical man, the lawyer,
the clergyman, the educator, can hard
ly endure criticism from outside. In
his own sphere he will not only not
heed the suggestions of the layman,
hut will strongly resent all criticism.
He will even invent fictitious forms
and duties to magnify his own importance."
Winston Churchill, Put in Days
Fishing on McKenzie River;
Ordinary Looking.
Winston Churchill, the celebrated
American novelist, after visiting in
various sections of Oregon in . quest
of recreation,- dropped into Eugene
yesterday after a fishing expedition on
the McKenzie river.
The Eugene Register says: Winston
Churchill is an ordinary looking man.
With a day's beard on his face, and
soft collar he might have been taken
for any average citizen, though strong
and well developed perhaps he could
pose tor. a railroad engineer, or a lor-
estry man. He was accompanied by
r. W. Leadbetter, a .Portland paper
manufacturer, with whom he made the
trip to O'Brien's on the McKenzie.
The famous novelist, the author ol
I he Crisis, Ihe Celebrity, and
more lately "The Crossing," "Conis
ton," "Mr. Creve's Career," "The
Modern Chronicle," and lastly, "The
Inside of the Cup," arrived in Eugene
yesterday after a series of fishing trips
from Lake Tahoe. He went to Port
land this morning, but will return to
Lake Tahoe, to return east in Septem
ber, He is pleased with Oregon, ex
ceedingly so infact.
"I've had one triumphant proces
sion ever since I've been in Oregon,"
he said. "The Oregon generousity is
overwhelming. I like the Pacific coast
so much that I should like to come
and live here.
"I am afraid that I cannot directly
place any of the Oregon country in
my next novel. It will deal more with
phases and situations the aspect of
human life. Scene is a secondary con
sideration. Only second rate novel
ists go about the country looking for
local color. I don't. It's the subject
and not the locality that counts."
It is the big home of Winston Chur
chill that the president's family is oc
cupying at present at Cornish, New
Hampshire.
