II Miss Lucille Cameron Boone had
neededany more laurels for her brow
she certainly won them last week
by the splendid way she conceived
and carried to such brilliant tinane
the recital at the Christian church
Saturday morning. Nothing more
successful i'm a musical way has
taken place in the new state and for
one woman TO conceive, foster, main
tain and master a program so diff
ficult Is an achievement that well
deserves the acclaim she Is every
where receiving Her courage, her
generalship, has long been acknowl-
edged and proven by her and her
pupils and the prestige given her
by music censors and the position
she occupies in the music and ex-
preston centers in the southwest,
but to launch a recital so successful
ly is a proposition that even the
most sanguine, the most strongly
supported, hesitate TO attempt After
the recital a reception was held,
and to Mrs y, c, Woods and Mrs.
C. NJ. Gross, the hostesses, the peo'
pie of Ardmore owe a deep debt Of
gratitude. The one chief anticipation
of the hundred who attended is that
another will be given in the near
future.

CALLS 1T DIRECTORS MEETING OF GREAT CORPORATION OF The
UNITED STATES CALLED FOR PURPOSE LOOKING OVER
BALANCE SHEETS AND PLA MINING WAYS AND MEANS TO
PREVENT ECONOMIC WASTE

We must to a certain extent regard
the natural resources of this planet
AZ common asset and study their
judicial use; that If we fail to con-
s:der the wealth available, to that
extent we might be likened to direc-
tors Of company who never exam

the fast-disappearing timber supply
and said that the coal ond iron sup
plies, If the present rate of con-
sumption Is maintained, will be ex-
hausted before the end of this CEN
tury and declared our individual So
cial and political life must be read
justed to meet the strain imposed by
new conditions.

MARTIN WORE
VOLTS COAT
posITIVE IDENTIFICATION OF
CRAVENETTE WORN AT TIME
OF HIS ARREST AS GARMENT
BOUGHT BY WOLFF.

PORTLAND, May 14.-When ar
rested week ago, says the Tele-
Gram. Edward H. Martin wore an
oxford gray cravenette raincoat,
which has been identified as apparel
worn by Nathan Wolff when he left
home the day he was murdered. BY
far this is the best evidence held by
the state in it's prosecution of Mar
fin for the murder of the money
lender, and it's Importance over
shadows the bloody shirt which, un-
til last night, was regarded as the
most clinching evidence against the
soldier, lawyer, drug-fiend prisoner.
After traversing the entire city, De-
tectives Tichenor and Howell secur-
ed positive Identification of the
raincoat last evening, clerk with
Ben Selling pointing to the garment
as apparel bought from him by
Nathan Wolff last February. Later
the widow of the murdered man
identified the coat as having been
worn by her husband either the day
before or the day of his murder, and
the oldest child of the Wolff family
said, when shown the garment:
That's papa's coat"
The hanging band and the tags
of the manufacturer and haber-
dasher being torn from the coat, its
Identification was at first regarded
as a task which would take many
days to complete, but when the coat
reached the store of Ben Selling, at
Fourth and Morrison streets, its
Identification was prompt. Selling
happens to be the only haberdasher
in Portland who handles cravenettes
of the texture of the discriminating
coat and Edward U. Eubanks, a
salesman with Selling, remembered
the purchase of the coat by Wolfi
on February l.. This date and pur-
chase is corroborated by Wolff's
diary, wherein mention Is made oi
purchase of the apparel.

RUEF CASE
ABOUT over

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.-As-
sistant District Attorney Heney an
nounced in court at the trial OF
Auef tonight that the prosecution
will close its testimony tomorrow
night. Whether the defense Will
put on any witnesses or not is not
known. Attorneys Ach and Murphy
declined to say what determination
on this matter they had arrived at.
It is quite probable that the END
of the taking of testimony will come
on Friday, however, and ADJOURN
ment to Monday will be taken, al
which time the arguments will be
heard. Following the testimony OF
ex-Supervisor Charles Boxton, ex'
Superyisor Max Remlock was put on
the stand. The prosecution tried in
cross examination to connect Ruel
directly with the bribery of tie for
mer supervisors on the Parkside
franchise matter and also brought
nm the telephone franchise matte!
IN an attempt to connect the former
boss with the payment of $4,000 as
bribe.
Both Boxton and Remlock refus.
ed to be drawn into direct admis-
sions in regard to Ruef's connection
with the handling of the money al.
though they recognized ex-Super'
visor Gallagher as Ruef's mouth
piece in these matters.
