ACCIDENT COMMISSION
SUIT is THROWN OUT
Judge Bingham Dis,nisses
Case Growing Out OF
Lump Settlement.

When the state industrial accident
commission awarded Mrs Edna Blanche
Dibbern lump sum of $4,000 for the
accidental death Of her husband while
working for the Grant Smith Porter
shipyards in Portland, the commission
knew she was resident Of Oregon, al
though the award was made on the
ground that she was nonresident of
this state.
This in substance was the decision yes
terday Of Judge George G. Bingham in
the suit tried yesterday in which en ac-
tion was brought against the industrial
accident commission to compel 1t to
bring suit against Mrs. Dibbern to re-
cover the $4,000.
Judge Bingham holds that Mrs. Dib-
bern was resident Of the state and
thereby not entitled to receive legally
lump sum but that she in no ways
acted with fraud and deceit in the mat
ter, and for this reason the suit to com
lpcl the commission to attempt to recover
the money from Mrs. Dibbern was dis
missed
AS the matter now stands, Mrs. Dib-
bern got the money, and the state can
>ot recover. The law provides that in
such cases for residents of Oregon, the
state shall pay monthly allowance up
to certain amount and in the case of
non residents, the amount shall be in a
lump sum.
1t is understood that the suit was
brought against the commission to re-
cover the mo-ey from the fact that an
attorney claims to have had contract
with Mrs. Dibbern to oct 30 per cent Of
any money she might receive from the
state. Under the decision just rendered,
the lawyer will be obliged now to take
his chances Of getting his money
through a suit against Mrs. Dibbern in
Portland.

Washington. Sept. 4.-Dcclaring that
the steadily rising cost of living is a
g serious menace' members Of the Am
erican National Livestock association
market committee today addressed a
letter to President Wilson outlining
the plan of relief.
The livestock men propose:
Placing 200,000,000 acres Of pub
lie grazing land under federal control
to increase meat production.
Prompt completion Of the depart
Iment of agriculturcis survey covering
the cost of meat production from farm
to consumer.
-Enactment Of legislation looking
to federal control of the meat indus

The letter is signed by livestock
men including H. A. Jastro, l.. Burke,
Dwight B. Heard and H. G. Wallace.
All data in the hands OF the com
mittee is Offered to the president.
We recognize that the steadily
mounting cost of living is most ser

and largely the cause of industrial dis

The league of nations is the only
safeguard against more wars" he as
serted.
Furthermore, he said, the league
must be ratified by this country to
make good the promise to the Ameri-
can soldiers who were called to fight
to end all wars.
Without the league. he predicted,
peace will be brought into contempt.
Sid rather have everybody ON my
side than be armed to the teeth he
said with regard to the league.
He said he believed he knew the real
heart of the American people better
than the foes of the treaty knew it. y
The treaty rectified age long wrongs
in Europe, Wilson said, which has been
fertile sources of wars for generations.
He went into detail with regard to
the racial and national lines in Europe
showing how they were altered to give
every people its rightful territory.
The audience, which filled every
seat, listened for the most part in 81
lence, with occasional brief outbursts
of handclapping.
Wilson apparently made no orator
ieai effort, but explained the treaty
with painstaking detail, like lecturer.
The treaty, he said, is "shot through
with the American principle Of letting
the people pick the government. This
brought loud cheers.
The treaty coatains among other
things a magma charta of labor, thing
unheard of until this interesting year OF
grace"
He said that an international labor
conference would be held in Washington
next month, under this clause.
"And let me tell you," he added
grimly, thrusting out his Jaw, "that con
ference will meet next month no matter
whether the treaty is ratified by thai
time or not
The discovery has been made in the
treaty, he said, that nations are com
posed Of their peoples, not of govern
ments.
"There is not single act of annexa
tion in this treaty. he said explaining
the mandates under the league were fol

veloped peoples.
