BROWN MUST ACT
BEFORE MONDAY
TO PREVENT SUIT
Portland Attorney Plans to
Have Grand Jury Investi-
gate Payment to Mrs. Dib-
bern Of $4,000

Unless Attorney General George
N. Brown institutes suit against VIM.
A. Marshall, chairman of the state
industrial accident commission, to
COMPEL the return to the workmen's
compensation fund of the $4,000 paid
to Edna Blanche Dibbern of Port
land as compensation for thedeath of
her husband, an employe of the
Grant Smith Porter Ship company,
OF to COMPEL the forfeiture Of Mar
shalls $4,000 bond. Lee Roy Kelley,
Portland attorney, will himself insti-
tute such action charging Marshall
with misappropriation of $4,000 from
the workmen's compensation fund
and with malfeasance in office.
This contemplated action was made
known here Thursday by Keeley who
was here in consultation with district
attorney Max Gehlhar of Marion
county, with reference TO placing the
case before the Marion county grand
ment against Marshall as a basis for
criminal action charging deliberate
misappropriation of the funds Of the
state industrial accident commission
in the Dlbbern case. Kelley has given
the attorney general until Monday to
act after which he himself will insti-
tute proceedings in the Marion coun
ty circuit court, he stated.
Took Up Case Year Ago
Kelley first interested himself in
the Dibbern case about a year ago
when, as the alleged attorney for
Mrs Dibbern, he prepared to insti-
tute suit under the admiralty law to
collect damages from the Grant Smith
Porter Ship company of Portland
IoF the accidental death of Mr.. Dib-
Dern This action. however was dis
missed when the state Industrial ac-
cldent commission settled with Mrs.
Dlobern under the workmens COM
pensation act by paying to her the
lump sum of $4,000. In this settlement
Neeleys claim for 40 per cent of the
sum as attorneys fees was ignored
ny the commission. Kelley later
brought mandamus proceedings in
'he Marion county circuit court to
compell Mrs. Dibbern to return the
sum awarded her, alleging that the
money had been illegally awarded in
aSinueh as Mrs. Dibbern was not a
nonresident of the state and there
iore not entitled to a lump sum sa;-
uehent under the terms of the COM
pensation act
IN support of his contention that
,ne sum was "corruptly paid" to
D''s Dlbbern "and under no circum-
o'ances paid under a mistake of fact

STATE ADVANCED
IN COMMERCIAL
Way At SESSION

Through the amalgamation of the
two merchants and retailers assocla-
tions in Oregon into the one organiza-
ton the Oregon State Retail Mer-
chants assOciation-at the annual con-
vention Monday Tuesday and We'd
tailers association, Oregon is brought
into the fore in the commercial aspect
of the world.
Such is the analysis of the conven-
ton made by Walter Denton, who with
Joe Baumgartner, attended from this
CITY, Mr. Denton returned to Salem
Thursday night, There were IL dele
gates scheduled to attend the cou~sn-
ton but because of illnesses in their
families they were prevented from at
tending.
Salem succeeded in naming two dole
gates to the board of directors of the
Oregon State Retail Merchants asso-
citation. They are p E. Fullerton and
William Gahlsdorf. The next meeting
of the association will be held in Feb
iudiN I1Gl dt MdtSIlieiu.
State Development Pledged.
The development of the naturas ~
cources of the state, that the dole
gates held have ben "shamefully neg
lected." formed the keynote of the
convention, Mr.. Denton declared Fri
day. The business men attending the
big meeting pledged themselves to put
every influence back of the general
development of Oregon.
The convention was well attended,
state was represented, and the con-
vention at no time lacked for enthus-
iasm.
Much discussion of the delegates
centered on the labor situation in the
state, Mr.. Denton asserted. The be-
lief was expressed that the better ,4c-
ments in the ranks of labor have come
to recognize the dangerous predica-
ment the workmen are in, and they
will strive for a speedy readjustment
of things
Legislation Is Target.
Repeated failure of the retailers
and merchants to get legislation
through the state legislature to their
advantage gave riseto frequent heated
discussion of this phase Of affairs in
the state. The delegates were Of the
unanimous opinion that business men,
rather than politicians, should be seat
ed in the state legislative assembly
and at tense moment in the conven-
ton a resolution providing the eiec-
ton by the association of their owt
candidates crept in. This was del"s:-
ed however, after Mr.. Denton charged
the convention to pursue its non-polit-
ical policy. The submission of the reso-
ton. however clearly reflect the atti-
tude of the business men at large on

BILL PROHIBITING
SALE OF GERMAN
SHIPS REPORTED
Senate Commerce Committee
Votes 10 to 3 Against Dis
position Of Vessels Except
as Congress Provides

Washington, Feb. 20.--The senate
commerce committee today ordered
favorably reported Chairman jones'
bill prohibiting the sale of the thirty
former German passenger liners ex-
cept as may hereafter be provided BY
congress.
While no record vote was taken on
the bill, the committee previously
adopted a motion, 10 to s. proposing
that the sale be prohibited.
The house merchant marine COM
mittee also took n hand in the ship
controversy when Chairman Payne APP
peared to repeated testimony already
given before the senate commerce
committee. Some of his evidence was
supplementary questions bringing out
that President Wilson had formally
approved the boards decision to sell
the vessels by writing action OF the
board approved" on copy of the res
olution.
Appraisal less Than Bids
Navy officials had appraised the 80
ships at substantially less" than the
sealed bid of $2S,000.000 received for
the Leviathan and twenty other ships
Of the fleet, Mr. Payne said. An ap-
praisal by navy officials on nineteen
ships including the Levlathan, he ad-
ded. was approximately s20,000,000.
Counsel for the shipping board to-
day appeared before Associate Justice
u a iiau a., tl,a diot,.iot a,,nraua a on,,pt
to urge that William Randolph Hearst
on whose taxpayer petition a temporary
injunction against the sale has been
issued. should be placed under $5,000,-
900 bond to cover possible losses due
to tying up of the craft. The esti-
mated the daily prospective loss at
$4,000 and also pointed out tnas "A
contract to. sell the swanee for s2,-

plred today.
Suit In Name OF Public.
Counsel for Mr.. Hearst contended
that only nominal bond should be re-
duired as board officials had told con-
gress all bids had been rejected and
that no sale would be made without
specific permission OF congress-
Mr.. Hearst sued II was stated, not
for his personal gain, but In the public

payer would prevent public spirited
persons In future from applying to tho
courts In similar cases.
Justice Bailey said he would be pre-
pared tomorrow to fix the bond and
intimated that the expenses already
incurred as to the proposed sale prob
ably would govern the amount Of tho
bond.
