Was Arrested Early This Morning Following Return Of
Grand Jury Indictment Yesterday Charging Him
With Felony. Allege That He Is Guilty Of "Asking,
Receiving And Agreeing To Receive A Bribe."
Los Angeles, Cal., March 22. Mayor
Frederick T. Woodman of Los Angeles
was arrested during the early hours of
this morning just as he was cutering
the Union League club, following the
returning of a grand jury indictment
Isfce yesterday charging him with
felony.
Specifically, it is alleged he is guilty
of ''asking, receiving and , agreeing to
receive a bribe ' ' of $25,000 from George
Henderson and George Brown, negro
Klilii'ians.
Woodman, the indictment tvlleges,
no, reed to appoint Sergeant William
ilaekett, head of the police "metropoli
tan squad" which has chaigo of on
foiling the "purity" laws, and to give
Henderson and Brown protection in an
alleged plan to doiuiato the Los An
gelos underworld and keep it freo from
police interference.
Arrest Henderson and Brown.
Henderson ana mown ntso were in
dicted and arrested.
Horace Karr, until recently political
editor of a Los Angeles morning paper,
is named in tho indictment as inter
luediary, but is not indicted.
The indictment alleges that the $25,
uuu was to oe pniu to woodman in
monthly installments (if $2500 aud that
$2,000 actually was paid to Karr at tlio
mayor s direction, although tha indict-1
meat does not indicate whether -Wood- j
mr.n ever received the money from
Karr. Woodman's indictment came
with a suddenness which was something
of a shock to tho political circles hero,
although it had been reported that
Bonielhiiig of tho sort was pending.
"I know nothing of any bribery or
other charges of any kind wlmisoover,"
was the comment of Mayor Woodman
after his arrest. "You must remember
this is election time. It's just a politi
cal trick."
The mayor two days ago had an
nounced his candidacy for re-election.
Ho is Ut liberty under' $10,000 bonds.

SITUATION IN EUROPE
VERY PUZZLING 01
Conferees Are Racing Against
Tcndsncy For Revolt In
" Europe,
- By Fred S. Ferguson j
(raited Press staff correspondent)
Paris, -Mar, 22. The race between
poaco, plunder and poverty is now on
with tho advent of spring.
The question of whether peace, sta
bility and reconstruction are to prevail
during tho coming months, or whether
Central Europe, at least, will be con
vulsed in a sanguinary struggle, will
soon be answered.
Bolshevist forces are known to be
concentrating on the Roumanian fron
tier, others aro facing the Poles and
by infiltration striking at tho -roots
of that newly formed government. The
Roumanians say they have definite in
formation, that? tho bolshcviki intend
to strike as oou s the weathm- be
comes favorulble. The Poles are now
involved in constant isolated struggles
and it is believed to ibo only a piatter
of time until the full storm ibreuks.
Are Only Barriers
Roumania and Poland stand us the
only barriers between the Russian bol
shevik! and Central Europe.
Owing to tho shortage of raw mater
ials, and consequent lack of employ
ment, it is said to ibe a question wheth
er tho present Czeeho-Slovak govern
ment survives.
Sooner or later reports from various
sources indicate, the lil'eit govern
ment iu Germany is likely to fail.
Whether it is before or atter peace is
signed probably is merely a matter of
chance. If the present government is
not willing to make a clean brcast.of
Germany's responsibility if or the war
and accept tho treaty as presented, it
U' predicted the radicals will overthrow
it.
On the other hniid, if the govern
ment signs a drastii treaty without
protest there may issue the wme re

clare a chance for people to get buck
to work and overcome tho lnnbits of

SOPHOMORES AWARDED
PENNANT AT FRESHMAN
ANNUAL GLEE PROGRAM
Armory Packed To Hear En
deavors Of Ciass Of Willamette.
It was "standing room only" at the
armory last night, long before tho
Freshman Glee program started such
an audionce as one seldom sees iu the
building, for the hearts of the public
are with the young people. Tho build
ing was beautifully and tastefully dec
orated, tho crimson and gold streamers
that spanned the auditorium contrast
ing sharply with the masses of ever
greens and ferns.
The program was of unusual excell
ence, there being in addition to the four
class songs a violin solo by Leisla Ruby;
a reading by Gene bevy and a collo
solo by Prof. John R. Sites. All those
numbers were enthusiastically roceived.
It would bo "nuff sed" if one were
to stuto that the class songs were up
to tho standard of other years; but to
the minds of the majority of the audi
ence they surpassed all past records una
efforts, showing much originality and
sentiment in construction. Superficial
ly considered, one would not detect a
great difference of quality in the four
compositions. Had the decision been
left to a popular vote of the audience
the result might have been quite dif
ferent. From a purely hiusical stand
point the Junior song should nave had
the honors' without question, while in
the matter of expressed sentiment there
seemed to be very littlo choico between
the Juniors and tho Sophomores. How
ever, when the judges had canvassed
the four songs and scored1 on wi the
three quulities words, music and rendi
tion tho Sophomore class was awarded
the pennant, the Seniors ranking sec
ond, Juniors third and Freshmen fourth.
The judges v. iio passed upon tho compo
sitions were: Words, Miss Cox, Mrs. Le
land Porter' and Mrs. Florian Von
Kschon;' music, Mrs. A. A. Schramm,
Professor T. S. Roberts. Miss Gertrude
Eakinj rendition, A. A. Schramm, H. C.
Clink and Rev. H. N. Aldrich.
Following the announcement of the
awards, the pennant a particularly
handsome one was presented by Prof.
Mi tthows, with a few fitting words of
felicitation. Following are tho words
of the winning song:
Oh Willamette safely harbored
In the hills of Oregon.
We have turned from many a battle
Gory trench, and ruined shrine
To your dear familiar presence,
That like a stur in darkness shines:
We hear tho mill stream rippling
Whero the poplar buds unfold.
We see your cordial banners'
Floating proudly as of old. '
Oh Willamette safely enshrined
In the temple of our hearts.
We shall ne'er forgot your lessons
Though life's journey take us far,
Ever slinll vour spirit guide us
Like a bright and glowing star
For we owe thee. Alma Mater,
Gratitude we scarce, can snow
For the joys that gather round us
With the days that come and go.

MURDER OF RIVAL IS
NOT HELD IN PRISON

Seattle, Wash., March 22, Out at tho
House of the Good Shepherd where all
is quiet and restful, the peaco broken
only by occasional chimes and tlio soft
footed steps and whispers of the sisters,
is Ruth Garrison, the confessed modern
Borgia. She was taken there yester
day afternoon by Deputy Sheriffs Con

Stringer. .
Immediately aftor her arraignment
yesterday in Judge Boy a i cumin's
court she was taken to the county jail
whero a half hour's conference with nor
attorneys resulted in her being removed
to tho other institution.
Prosecution Attornoy Fred C. Biovn
was indignant last night over th treat
ment accurded her.
''She is no better than any other wo
man prisoner," ho asserted, "and I
shall object to her being accorded bol
ter treatment than any other."
Attorney Objects.
"She is a murderer, not a martyr,"
said Deputy Prosecuting Attorney John
D. Carmody, "and thero is no senso in
trying to make hor one. She belongs
in jail and should bo there."
Sheriff Stringer, on whose order Ruth
was takeu to tho Good Shephurd Homo
told a United Press reporter that he
wanted her to be away from uuo.
"I want her to be out thero where
alie can obtain all tho rest and quiet
she needs," he said. "I don t want her
in tho county jail with those women up

It is no placo for her. And 1
don't want her to be where she can be
bothored by morbid and curious people
who would como to visit her."

reached Seattle last Monday from

Dudloy M. Storrs. It was intercepted

ing secured under this law and the
general system of the public schools

the statenent of Colonel 'May at the
reception given to hirii in the govern

May told of the largo proportion of

further stated that the 102(1 regiment

Paris, March 22. President Wilson is
prepared to make a strong fight to cou
trol tho United States senate's ratifica
tion of the preliminary peace treaty
containing the league of nations cove
nant, it was learned today.
Close friends of the president say that
ho may stump, the country on a speak
ing tour if the senate is unable to act
separately on tho league 's covenant and
the peu:o treaty or refuses to ratify it.
If tho people back up Wilson's stand
ho will demand that the senate ratify
the treaty or tako the responsibility.
President Wile.on is now giving con
siderable attention to United States fi
nances, foreseeing that somo brauches
of the government mny be iu serious fi
ancir.l trouble before the end of May,
but unablo to securo :ore tu emer
gency appropriations.
While tho presidont has not confided
his ideas concerning an extra session of
congress to his friends, it is believed
ho wilr return to the United Biatos for
that purpose by May 15.
When asked by his associates if he
would stump the country in tho event
that tho senate din. mis. uuiiy the,

It is authoritatively learned today

senators, is thus rendered impossible
Under the program followed in draw
ing up tho pact, the senate must ratify

tion to the league of nations plan de
