Arthur, was dead, received a telegram
Saturday from Senator McNary al

chusetts, who died recently at a post
hospital at Chelsea, Mass.
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin were relieved
of several days of extremely trying
anxiety by the message. >
They had received official notice
of their son Is death on the goth, but as
he had received letters written by the
boy after this date, he believed that a
mistake had been made. 'rhe error was
made, it is stated in the telegram. by
a deputy commissioner of claims at
the war risk bureau A letter from this
bureau explaining the matter was also
received by Mr.. Martin.

Case of Fannie Kay Bishop
Against Thomas Kay Is On

The case Of Fannie Kay-Bishop YER
sus Thomas B. Kay, state treasurer, is
being heard this afternoon by Judge
Percy R. Kelly, who is sitting in de-
partment No. 2, while Judge Bingham
is taking care of department No.
cases in Albany. The case will probably
require several days to finish, it is be-
heved.
The plaintiff is asking that the de-
fendant, who is the administrator of
the estate Of Thomas Kay, deceased, and
who has been handling the estate of Ann
Kay, deceased, give complete account
of the expenditures and collections in
said estate. 1t is alleged in the complaint
that Mr.. Kay has been unable to ac-
count for the expenditures, and that his
statements are incorrect.
In the answer filed by the defendant,
it is alleged that the present plaintiff
is the only one of the many heirs who
objects to the handling of the estate by
Mr.. Kay. The defendant claims that
following the death of Mrs. Ann Kay
who had an interest amounting to some
$4,000 in the estate of Thomas KAY,
that a settlement was offered by the
defendant, following 2 meeting of the
heirs. The plaintiff in the present SUIT
being one Of the heirs, is said to have
refused such a settlement.

Board Of Education
Denies Miss KeIIy's Appeal

Although admitting that to some ex-
tent an injustice had been done by the
county school superintendent at Wasco
county, the state board of education. at
a meeting held this morning, upheld the
decision of the county and state super
intendents in revoking the temporary
teacher Is certificate issued to Miss
Edith Kelly. Miss Kelly was suspended
by the school board of q rural district.
it being charged that she disregarded
school laws, was vulgar in the presence 9
of the children, made mockery of re-
ligion, and was Incompetent as teach
er.
The action of the county superintend-
ent in suspending Miss Kelly was char
acterized as hasty', but it was found
that Miss Kelly had sufficient notice
to allow her to secure an attorney and
protect her rights. But little could
have been done in the matter by the
state board as Miss Kelly 3 certificate
had expired on the day that the appeal
to the state had been made.
According to Attorney Elkin Watkins
who acted for the defendant, most Of
the trouble came because of difference
OF opinion on religious matters. He
claimed that the statutes had not been
followed in the procedures, and denied
the charge that Miss Kelly had been
guilty of misconduct, or had falsified
her recommendations Miss Kelly is now
teaching in the state of Washington.

Salem Man Fined
For Making Own Beer

Thirty quarts of home made beer was
the result of raid made Saturday night
by Chief of Police AL Poland on the
home of j. L. Bum, at 440 Division
street. Mr.. Bum was also brought back,
and after thinking over the matter in
Jail overnight, decided to pay the fine
of $25 which was assessed by Judge
Race, before whom he appeared this
morning.
According to the story told the court
by Bum, the boose was made for his
own consumption. He admitted, how
ever, of having invited his friends in
to enjoy his hospitality, and he believes
that some of the friends were respon-
sible for the arrest.
According to a decision handed down
by Chief Justice Mcbride some time
ago, it is unlawful to make intoxicat
ing liquor, even for home use. A fine
of $500 and six months in jail, is pos
sible under the statutes.

Hat Blows OF, Serious
COnseavlences Follow

Conrad Dillman, residing at 201l
Maple avenue, returned Saturday from
Portland looking considerably batter
ed mp and much the worse for wear.
In fact. it is doubtful if his wife real
Iy recognized him when he first ap-
peared SO completely was he bandaged
up about the face and head. A little
puff of wind was responsible for all
the trouble.
Mr. Dillman spent last week in Lents
taking care of his sons property while
the latter was in California. He was
returning Friday afternoon from trip
to Portland, walking from the end of
the car line to Lents. An automobile
came along and the driver asked him to
ride Mr.. DilIman stepped upon the
running board and said he would ride
the remainder of the distance. Just as
the car had started up and was gain
ing headway Mr.. Dillman hat blew
off. The latter forgetting for the mo-
ment the position he was in, grabbed
for his hat with both hands. The next
he knew he was lying on cot in the
hospital.
He had struck the pavement on his
face and head and been rendered un-
conscious. The driver of the machine
did not even know that Mr. Dillman
was not with him till he arrived at
Ients In the meantime another ma
chine had come along, found Mr.. Dill
man lying unconscious, picked him up
and took him to the hospital at Lents.
Mr.. Dillman' IS head and face were
badly cut ad bruised and when seen
today the side of his face was still con-
siderably swollen. He was able to come
home Saturday and came down town

Some stocks were bid up, notably Bald
