By FRANK JENKINS
THERE Is still sorrow In the ranks
ot this caravan that la celebrat
ing the completion of the Yellowstone
cutoff- highway, which la expected
to bring guest travel In large vol
ume to these wide open spaces.
Governor Jim Rolph Just Blmply
COULDN'T attend I
YOB may recall, if you have fol
lowed this column, that Gover
nor Rolph, then mayor of San Fran
cisco, was a member of the original
caravan that pioneered thla highway.
Be got side-tracked on BUI Han
ley's ranch and was carried over a
mudhole on Zlm Baldwin's back, so
that he wouldn't spoil the nice, ahlny
high boots that he always wears, and
then Bill tried to Jump the mud hole
and landed right In the mldddle of
It with mighty splash and there
waa a lot of Mgh-grade kidding all
around In which Mayor Jim Joined
with such hearty good will as to es
tablish for himself an Iron-bound,
copper-riveted reputation as a regular
fellow.
Down In this country they all call
him Jimmy, and so you can Imagine
what a disappointment It was when
he found he couldn't come this time.
EARXi LEE! KELLY, Oregon born,
chairman of the California high
way commission, tall and straight and
handsomer than Clark Gable, la Gov
ernor Rolph- personal representative
on the caravan.
He apeaka gracefully of the all
around uselessneas of (.tate lines down
in this country, where we are all one
people, and suggesta that we wipe
them out. Then he tells of the money
California haa appropriated for this
highway. - . :Z"
He geta a big hand.
H HEN, keen business man though
he la, a big figure In highways
and In taxation matters In California,
be paints a glowing little picture of
the drive up from Alturas In the late
evening, with the sun dropping be
hind the snowy bulk of Shasta and
the rosy haze settling upon the foot
hills! It's a mighty good sign when big
business men,, with much responsi
bility resting on their shoulders, are
able to retain their appreciation of
the beauties of nature.
Business Isn't everything.
THEN, finally, BUI Hanley, philoso
pher and business leader, aage
and go-getter, who poses aa a simple
minded old cattleman and behind this
front of trusting innocence manages
his vast properties shrewdly aa to
make a good living out of the cattle
business even In these cruel and hard
bitten tlmea.
Don't let Bill put anything over
on you. He's a business man as well
as a philosopher.
HERE'S a bit of his philosophy:
"Some day the time will come
when people, Instead of saying:
What's wrong with everything?' will
aay: 'What'a wrong with ME?' "
Try that some time, when the world
looks pretty sour to you. Maybe
you'll learn that It Isn't the world,
after all, but YOU, that la sour.
You can't change the world, you
know, but yon CAN change yourself.
AND here's another hit:
"It Isn't what we do for our
selves that counts; It's what we do
for those who COME AFTER US."
Did you ever stop to think that
this wonderful modern world la what
ft la because of the efforta and the
'sacrifices of the generations that pre
ceded us?

Governor Decides Not Call
Special Session of Legis
latureHal Hoss Blamed
for 'Chaotic' ' Condition
SALEM, July 12. (AP) The mora
torium on new license plates was
extended to August 1 by Governor
Julius L, Meier today. In tho same
statement In which the extension of
the moratorium was announced the
governor declared he would not call
a special session of the state legisla
ture. A session had been urged to
reduce license fees and provide for
quarterly payment of licenses.
The first moratorium was to end
Saturday of this week. The addi
tional 15 days provides for usage of
old licenses until August 1. The
governor's statement Is as follows:
Not To Call Session
'After giving the subject careful
consideration, I have decided not to
call a special session of the legisla
ture for the purpose of considering
motor vehicle license legislation. Re
gardless of the fact that members of
the legislature might be willing to
serve without compensation, the ses
sion would entail an unnecessary ex
pense for the taxpayers.
"Because of the chaotic condition
which prevails with regard to motor
vehicle license fees, due to Secretary
of State Hoss's premature announce
ment of the proposed quarterly
license fee plan, and his subsequent
refusal to cooperate In carrying out
the plan which was agreed upon by
Attorney General Van Winkle, State
Treasurer Hoi man and myself, I have
determined to extend the present
fifteen day moratorium for an addi
tional fifteen day.- so as to expire
August 1, 1931. The serious condi
tion of highway department finances
will not permit any further extension

REFUSE TO DROP
INDICTMENTS OF
L
SALEM, July 12. (AP) The state
supreme court today refused to quash
four Indictments against 8. Moltsner,
president of the Guardian Building
and Loan association of Portland, In
an opinion handed down by Justice
Kelly. The Indictments charged
Moltzner with unlawfully loaning
the funds of a building and loan
association without security.
Defendant appealed from the In
dictments returned by a Multnomah
county grand Jury on the grounds
that Indictments were not tried
within the next term of court, as
by law provided. The opinion af
firmed the decree of Judge W. A.
Ekwall.
A writ of mandamus proceedings
waa denied Carl M. Johnson and
C. A. Degrace by the state supreme
court last night. In a similar case.
The petitioners asked their trial be
postponed until after an appeal from
a court order refusing to quash In
dictments against them had been
disposed of by the higher court. The
court refused to review the appeal
from the lower court order.
The plaintiffs In the writ action
were Indicted recently by the Mult
nomah county grand Jury on charges
of devising a scheme to defraud
through sale of stock. Both are
former officers of the Prudential
Savings and Loan association.
No opinions pertaining to Jack
son county cases were handed down.
Roosevelt Is
Criticism
BOSTON, July 12. ( Ogden L.
Mills, secretary of the treasury, last
night opened the Republican presi
dential campaign by criticizing in it
entirety the acceptance address of
the Democratic nominee. Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt of New Vorx.
Boston's historic Pan ire 11 hall last
night was the setting for the criti
cisms and denunciations of Secretary
Mills, who centered his address
around the charge that Got. Roose
velt has no program to meet the eco
nomic situation.
The treasury secretary sought of
the New York governor "specifically
what the ad m In lt ration has failed
to do or has done In this emergency
that Is open to fair criticism."
To the criticism directed at the
administration's credit achievements,
Mills pointed to the establishment
of the reconstruction finance cor
poration and provisions for additional
credit for federal land banks and
banks silled with agriculture.

FAILS TO SHOW
FOR HOAX QUIZ
PORTLAND, Ore., July 12. (AP)
One of the three men Involved In the
reputed school consolidation petition
hoax, Is known to police.
This report was confirmed by the
district attorney here today after
extensive questioning of Robert Tall
man, night watchman at the office
of consolidation headquarters, who
confessed Sunday that the reported
theft of 20,600 signatures was a hoax.
It developed that the "robbery" was
prearranged. ,
Lotus Langley, district attorney,
said Tall man implicated three men
In the affair and that Qpa.pf these is
known to authorities. His name re
mained unrevealed. Tallman said the
other two men were strangers.)
The prosecutor hinted that "start
ling developments" would be dis
closed within a few days.
E. L. Getz, Corvallls business man
and reputedly a leader In the move
to consolidate University of Oregon
and Oregon State college Into one
institution on the Corvallls campus,
did not appear at the district attor
ney's office Monday for Interrogation,
although officials said he had pro
mised to do so. He was questioned
Sunday about the case. Detectives
said he Is not "under suspicion."
LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 12. (AP)
A demand for.the discharge of Roy
A. Watktns, an Investigator, and a
statement reaffirming confidence In
David Hutton were Issued today by
the board of elders of Angelus tem
ple, clarifying a maze of rumors grow
ing out of the St. Plerre-Hutton
breach of promise suit.
The statement apparently put an
end to reports that the governing
body of the famous temple had been
aligned against the hUBband of the
evangelist, Almee McPherson Hutton,
since Myrtle St. Pierre, a nurse, won
a $5000 verdict over him for breach
of promise.
While the position taken concern
ing Hutton occasioned no surprise,
the move to oust Wat kins was unex
pected. Watklns had figured promi
nently In the trial as a collector of
Information for Hutton's case and at
tempts had been made to name him
las a witness buyer.
Target for
From Mills
came In for criticism and Mills dis
approved the Democratic nominee's
plan to "enter Into a series of bar
gaining tariffs according to the Eu
ropean practice." ,
The pledges of Gov. Roosevelt and
his party to drastlo economy, aboil'
tton of useless offices and consolida
tion of government bureaus, were
met with the assertion that "expen
ditures of the state of New York In
creased by oneMhlrd from 1B29
1931; that Democrats of the house
voted by a large majority for "Gar
ner's pork-barrel measure," and that
"they declined to give the president
the authority to abollsu useless bu
reaus.
Mills took up the problem that con
fronts the American farmer with the
comment that other than Oov. Roose

on farm mortgages should be reduc

done, t find nothing In his program
which does not constitute a mere

WINSTON SALEM, N. C, July 12
(AP) Sobbing and plainly near an
other collapse, Llbby Holman Rey
nolds left Winston-Salem this after
noon for her parents' home at Cin
cinnati to try to recover from the
shock of her husband's death and
the ordeal of the subsequent investi
gation. An the former New York revue
favorite was helped across the plat
form to the waiting train, she burled
her face In a fur neckpiece to foil
a battery of photographers.
She waa sobbing audibly as she
was assisted Into a drawing room
and was heard to moan:
"This is terrible. This Is awful.
See all those faces."
Trustees of the estate, estimated
at 960,000,000 which was left to
Smith and three other children, have
been quoted as saying Llbby Hol
man, a favorite singer of Broad
way, would inherit not a penny ot
the estate, except a dower right in
young Reynolds' comparatively small
personal estate, placed at not more
than $150,000.
The record of testimony Llbby
gave at a Becret session of the coro
ner's Jury discloses she told Assistant
Solicitor J. Erie McMlchals she waf
not sure she was going to have a
child.
WINSTON-SALEM, N. C, July 12.
(JP) A coroner's Jury, unwilling to
call it suicide, accident or murder,
has ascribed the death of young
Smith Reynolds to "a party or parties
unknown."
The verdict, coming late last night
after sensational and Intimate testi
mony, had the immediate effect of
freeing fiorn custody the young to
bacco heir's widow the torch sing
ing Llbby Holman and 19-ycar-old
Albert Walker, his chum.
Whether It will end official Inter
est In the death . of the 20-year-old
Reynolds, following a corn whiskey
party at his estate early on the morn
ing of July 6, Is undetermined. The
grand Jury was called to meet today.
It is in Its power to pursue the In
vestigation. Chum fn Hiding.
Walker had been held In Jail for
two days as a material witness. Ho
slipped quietly from sight early to
day and was believed to be in seclu
sion at the home of friends here. -
Mrs. Reynolds who, as Llbby Hol
man, was a Broadway favorite before
her marriage last year to the young
heir to part of the R. J. Reynolds
tobacco- millions, remained at the
Reynolda estate where her husband
was shot. With her were her par
ents. Although In a state of col
lapse following her husband's death,
she had been under guard there until
last night's non-committal verdict
freed her from custody.
Numerous developments, many sen
sational, marked the final day of the
coroner's inquest.
Case Left Open.
Apparently not satisfied that a suf
ficient motive for suicide had been
established, the coroner's Jury like
wise refused to cast out stories of
Llbby and Walker, and left the case
open for any further Investigation
authorities might wish to make.
The Jury heard the 26-year-old
widow, daughter of a Cincinnati at
torney, describe unhapplness which
prompted young Reynolds to make
suicide threats on several occasions.
Some or these times, she said, she
was led to believe he was crazy. At
least once, she said, she expressed
the belief to him. That was the last
Sunday he lived. It csused him, she
said, to leave her and spend the night
at a hotel, from which he said he
would go next morning to "have his
head examined."

The body of a murdered man found
near Metollua, Ore., last week Is the

resident of this city and the south
ern Oregon district during the past'
three months. State police and pri
vate Investigators are now working on
the mystery.

British Prime Minister De
clares Lausanne Treaty
Not Intended As Warning
to Scale Down Debts
LONDON, Eng., July 12. (AP)
Nobody can blame the United States
for the attitude she has taken toward,
war debts. Prime Minister Ramsay
MacDonald told parliament today,
but the Lausanne treaty was in no
way intended as an ultimatum to
America.
It was the prime minister's first
appearance In the bouse since his re
turn from Lausanne. Just before he
began to speak an official statement
was Issued correcting an Impression
that the negotiators at Lausanne had
consulted American representatives
regarding a "gentleman's agreement"
Viat the Lausanne treaty would not
become effective until America scal
ed down the debts.
That Impression arose from a
speech yesterday in the house by Ne
ville Chamberlain, chancellor of tho
exchequer, who said the delegates
from Lausanne had consulted not
only each other, but also representa
tives of the American government.
WASHINGTON, July 13. (AP)
Secretary Btimson reiterated emphat
ically today that the United States
had said nothing to the participant
in the Lausanne reparation confer
ence concerning a possible revision of
war debts.
The secretary of atate said that,
notwithstanding any statements made
In the British parliament that con

lzed move had been made by United
States diplomats abroad to thla end.
