In Jiistico Taylor's court Momlnv
afternoon 11. V. Worthimrton "wus
found iruiltv of nssnult nml battorv
on' J. W. Milcholl. tlioneh lie liml not
Htrnok or otherwise injured him, lv
n mrv which returned with its verdict
of eniltv ft roi'oininendation for the
minimum fine, find therefore the court
imposed fina of $5 nnd costs. The
chnrire wns tho outgrowth of a scene
in Worthinirton's room in the Nnsh
lintel Inst Friday nicht. The accused
did not strike Mr. Mitchell, hut ore-
vented Iimii from tiKine the phone.
There has been n business dispute
between the two men for a iona time.
Mitchell claims that Worthineton owes
him 200 for ninkim fish sereons
last slimmer nnd that he asked nun
repciitedlv cither for a settlement or
. to hand him over the papers showing
who still owed Worthimrton for the
screens.
The two met on tho street Fridav
hiulit and Mitchell asked Wortliimr
ton to show the papers. Worthinaton
said he would do so if Mitchell would
come up to the room. As thev enter
ed the room Mitchell elnuns Worth
ineton locked tho door savinc some
thing like "Now this screen business
will bo settled." and fearififf that
Worthimrton. who is a lunch' vouncer
man, intended to assault him. he rush
ed over the phono to summon .lames
. Bell, landlord of the hotel. Mitchell'
further claims that Worthimrton tried
to push him nwav from the phone
but that he mannsred for a time to
'linn? on nnd keep the receiver down.
- Later Mitchell claimed he reached
, the phone aaain. Mr. Bell nnswerinsr.
lie asked him to lmrrv no to the
room; and savs; that Worthinsrto;!
hearing this unlocked the door and
let liiin out On his wav down stairs
ha met Bell coming up and hurriedly
told him of the trouble. t
- Bell's testimony corroborated in
that he- stated that there was pro
longed ringing- of the room phone in
the hotel office, which finnllv stopped.
Then a short time later the' phone
rang agnin two short taps, and that
when he answered Mitchell asked him
to come up.' .On 'his wav up he met
Mitchell coming down. .:
Worthington on the stand denied
Mitchell's story of whnt occurred in
the room and testified that he did not
force him from 4he phone, lie ad
mitted, however, that he had locked
the door, i'
. " Asked bv one of the inrors whv he
lind locked the door Worthington re
plied: "So as to be sure that the best
man would leave the room." This re
ply, members of the iurv sav. cinched
the case in their minds, and influenc-
ed greatly their reaching the verdict
of guilty. : - ; - - -
Vred Farm, 211 years old, of Central
Point, son of Mr. and Mrs. K. K, Far
ra, who has been serving in the Tin
ted Stales liavv the past 18 months,
and with his ship has visited France
nnd .other parts of Europe in the past
six months, took part in the sinking
of a German U-boat. A recent issue
of the Xew York Times describes the
exploit as follows: .
The presentation to the destrover
Stringham vestenlav bv the Hrostlinn
government of a giant loving cup nnd
a silken American flag, the latter tho
work of a croup of Brazilian girls,
disclosed for the first time the fact
that in August. 191S. the Stringhnm
destroyed a Herman IMioet which for
two hours prior to the niiearaiice of
the Stringhnm had beeu shelling the
Brazilian liner I'beraba. Tho Uber-
aba had on hoard n large number of
passengers, nmoiig them 112 Amer
ican bluejackets, en route to Brnxil to
ioin the American fleet in South At
lantic waters. .'.'.
The St rim-ham immediately bead
ed for the submarine, which succeeded
in submerging iust before tho de-
trover overhauled her. The Strmg-
hnm dropped 17 depth honilis. nnd a
few minutes Inter the sea thereabout
was covered with a great patch of oil
and much debris. There was no doubt
as to the fate of the U-boat. :
The Stringhnm which is one of the
new' destroyers, on August 8, last,
was one of the vessels convoviw n
fleet of troop ships to Europe. When
off Ilatteras the destroyer received a
wireless call for help. The call was
in Portuguese, and, after much trou
ble, the destrover managed to get the
position of the steamer, and. detach
ing herself from tho convoy steamed
full speed to the scene of the trouble.
When the Stringhnm got within sig
naling distance of- the I'beraba. the
captain of the ship signaled that a
small craft, with a sail some miles
away was a German submarine, which
for more than two hours had been
shelling his shin. . - . j
Yesterday the Brazilian government
officially thanked the officers bt"1
loving cup was the gift of the govern
ment and was presented bv Mr. Pier
hiero. the consul general of Brazil at
this port. The silk American flag,
made bv the girls of Brazil, was pre
sented bv Captain Morara of the Bra
zilian navy.

give up the police business altogeth
er. McDonald was for a time obdur

Job, as he declared that he feared no
one and disliked to be put in the atti
tude of running away.

week from Trail wherq he had been
visiting his parents, and after a con
ference with the couhty authorities
finally banded in his resignation and
departed for Portland.. He had not

WOMEN! DRY "CLEAN H
THINGS AT HOME
Try it! For a few cents you can
" dry clean everything.
Save five to ten dollars quickly by
dry cleaning everything in the home
with gasoline that would be ruined by
soap and water suits, coats; waists,
silks, laces, gloves, shoes, furs, drap
eries, rugs everything!
Place a gallon or more of-gasoline In
a dishpan or waahboiler, then put in
the things to be dry cleaned, then
wash them with Solvite soup. Shortly
everything comes out looking like new.
Nothing fades, shrinks or wrinkles.
Do not attempt to dry clean without
Solvite soap. This gasoline soap it the
secret of all dry cleaning. ''.','. 1
A package of Solvite soap containing
directions for home dry cleaning, costs
little at any drug store. Dry clean out
doors or away from flame. ,

Some of these the body uses

On the other hand Nuol
overcomes constipation and

does not act like any drug.
Nujol brings about a return

Yesterday a good
Maxwell
-Today a Better One
SJf mUt m tkm
I HAT is the policy of the Maxwell Motor Company. ;
. 'I I began five years ago on a single chassis plan
and today 300,000 Maxwells have been built on this
program. -
J ' Not 300,000 Maxwells .identically alike for that would
2 be admitting that the car has never improved in five years'
, . . time. , . - '- .
i , ' More than 1000 refinements have been made in the
'Maxwell.
' " But the- original chassis plan was not changed. It has
simply grown better as the days went by. .
1 The logic of building one thing and thus building it ,
well is too clear, too sound, too emphatic in results to argue
against. .-' ' ' . ..
v Like any fine piece of machinery the Maxwell seems to
. - Improve with age. . : '
' t ' - It runs on and on without end. We have never, heard
of a Maxwell salvaged. 1 -
' There is ho car with a better road ability record. And
it saves many a thrifty doillar by shying at the repair shop.
. .This Maxwell you see today is not a new Maxwell;'
though many persons have thought so. It has been so much
improved in appearance that our contemporaries in the trade
. repeatedly refer to it as the new Maxwell.
.' ' Howe vet. good looks have not in any way handicapped
its running. ' And the latter is the main thing, after all, in a .
motor car. : , ' :
