OF School Plan

Every school in Oregon is called
upon by ]. A. Churchill, state
superintendent of public instruc-
tion, to observe with appropriate
exercises May 4, next, the 125th
anniversary of the birth of Horace
Mann. the father of the American
public school system.
"In every school house, in
every school room in America
there is an echo of good that
Horace Mann did for the whole
world" Churchill points out in a
letter addressed to the country
school superintendents of the
state. LAS secretary of the board
of education for Massachusetts his
plea for a more equitable distribu-
tion of school moneys, better pre-
pared teachers, better equipment,
a richer course of study and a
longer term of school has been the
source of inspiration and the ex-
ponent of progress for the school
men and women of America.
1T may be said that to Horace
Mann should be given the credit
for formulating our greatest ma
tional idea-the education of the
masses for the preservation of our
liberties"
Churchill suggests tlgat the
teachers should devote at least
one recitation period to telling
the pupils of the life and achieve
ments of Horace Mann.

Boost for
Memorial

Endorsement of the building Of
a community center as a memorial
to eX-serVice men was made by the
Marion County Realtors associa-
t1on at their luncheon this noon in
the Marion hotel. The organiza-
tlon expressed it's hearty approval
of the social service movement
started by the civic department of
the Commercial club and pledged
its cooperation for the success of
the next community get-together
at the armory on May 18th.
The action was taken following
a speech made by Colonel e. Hofer
of the social service committee Of
the Commercial club, in which he
put forth the need of a social CEN
ter for Salem, and stated that the
committee was going to go ahead
as soon as the law passed by the
recent legislature goes into effect
wherein any community is allowed
to build such a memorial, and ell
list the cooperation of the differ
ent military and women's organ
izations of the city in the move
ment. He especially charged the
realtors association with the task
of selecting a suitable site.
Colonel Hofer In his Speech
pointed out that the community
center could be made self support
ing and that funds could be raised |
through a special bond issue. He
spoke heartily against raising
funds through taxation.
L, G. Hayford, president of the
realtors, appointed a committee of
A. c. Bohrnstedt, D. D. Socolofsky
and Mr.. Radcliffe to take the mat
ter UP at once.
Another important feature of
the meeting was the selection of a
committee to look into the matter

New York, April 14.-W. y. d
Stokes, relentless sleuth seeking tC
link his young wife first with the
Elwell mystery then the StilimaI
scandal-so counsel for MS
Stokes, in court and out, pictured
him yesterday.
Part of the portraiC was c1n'
firmed by The lawyers FOR the aged
millionaire. They admitted, FOR
one thing, that his detecfiles en-.
deavored to fit keys found in hel
desk to the Elwell home, to deter
mine if she had been one of MI
Elwell's shadowy visitors. They
admitted further that he "recog-
nized" a newspaper photograph OF
Mrs. Florence Leeds as a friend
of Mrs. Stokes" "
What Martin w. Littleton, Mrs.
Stokes lawyer, charged was that
Mr.. Stokes visited legal representa-
tives of Mrs. Stillman in an effort
to have his wife injected as one
of the bankers companions. This,
Francis Wellman for Mr.. S4okes,
told reporters was absurd" He
conceded the Elwell incident,
which figured in the court pro-
ceedings. The Stillman angle was
revealed out of court.
Charges a Conspiracy.
And Mr.. Littleton, announcing
his plan of attack, did not stop
there. He charged a conspiracy on
the part of the millionaire to heap
strange charges upon his wife aft
er their separation; conspiracy,
he said, which would be revealed
with the introduction in evidence
of various correspondence.
To all this Mr.. Stokes, in re-
sponse to queries of reporters, said
contemptuously:
Il don't know anything about
it. It's ridiculous"
Aside from these essentially ex-
traneous developments, yesterdays
session buzzed with red-haired
women, convivial gatherings,
charges of bribery on all parts of
the flank attack by Mr.. Stokes
lawyers upon the testimony OF
Martha Jones, colored maid, once
employed by Edgar T Wallace.
The maid has denied the testimony
of three of Mrs. Stokes witnesses
to the Wallace-Mrs. Stokes chap
ter.
In addition, Mr.. Littleton added
to the bewildering succession of
developments by announcing that
the witnesses Mrs. Genevieve D.
ADquinas, Mrs. Mabel MatteOsia

, appeared. They did not appear in
court yesterday, although Mr.
Stokes, counsel feel confident they
will come for ss-examination
when summoned. These with esses,
it will be recalled, described Wal
lace and Mrs. Stokes in negligible
costume in the old mans apart
ment.
First indications of the days de-
velepoments came with the cross
examination of Leslie S. Petrie,
Mr.. Stokes secretary, a gray-faced,
middle aged man with a goatee.
Mr.. Littleton asked him what had
been done with the keys found in
Mrs. Stokes desk. Testimony OF
the day before by one of Mr.
Stokes detectives had it that one
of the keys fitted the Wallace
apartment.
Mr.. Littleton wanted to know
whether these keys had been taken
to the district attorneys office,
and then to the Elwell home. The
secretary said he knew nothing of
it. Then Mr.. Littleton, at a recess,
reiterated his charge. On the rec
ord of the day before as his state
ment that the keys could have
The Stillman Charge.
The Stillman charge was made
shortly afterward, Mr.. Littleton
said:
"It is all of a piece-this con-
spiracy of Stokes to bring his wife
into every scandal possible. We
will introduce in evidence not only
the Stillman matter and the Ell
well, but others.
1--WE will prove that Mr.. Stokes
went to Mrs. Stillman's lawyer
with a proposition to name Mrs.
Stokes as one of those in the case.
I have it on the most reliable and
first-hand information"
Replying, Mr.. Wellman denied
the visit to the lawyer.
"Mr. Stokes" hes aid, "recog-
nized a picture of Mrs. Leeds as
a woman who came to lunch with
Mrs. Stokes had tea with her at
bar home and was one Of her
friends. There it ended"
The conspiracy theme was used
bv Mr.. Littleton in his examina-
tion of the secretary. He asked Il
any of the witnesses had Deeh
maid. The secretary admitted that
thev had. He did not remember
how much. He was asked the sal
nv of the private detective. He
,1lied the detective received $3.50
reek and expenses.

tied Prime Minister Lloyd-George

which may have vital bearing on
the industrial crisis confronting
the country.
Journalists were told by j. H.
Thomas, general secretary of the

that the call of the labor men was
at the invitation of Mr.. Lloyd
George.
The labor delegation left after
two-hour conference, Mr. Thomas
saying he saw no prospect for re-
opening pour parlors for an ad-
justment of the strike situation.
Strike Scope Wide.
Whether the call for a strike to-
morrow night issued by the "tri-
pie alliance" will be universally
observed remains doubtful.
Figures printed by the Daily
Graphic purport to show that il
the triple alliance" strike should
actually result and should last
three weeks, 1t will result in
100000 persons being thrown
out of employment. Another re-
suit of such strike, it is said,
would be that the national census,
fixed for next week, would be post

Respected
French Admit Justice
of Mandate Claims
In Answer to Hughes
Note

Washington, April IA. -
Frances reply to Secretary Of
State Hughes note of April re-
garding the Japanese mandate
over the Pacific Island of Yap is
interpreted in official circles here
as tantamount to acceptance of
the principle laid down by the
American government that the
United States has stated none of
its rights in the former German
overseas possessions.
After acknowledging receipts of
the American communication, Pre-
mier Brands note says:
Formal Reply Waits.
"The memorandum, being ad-
dressed to Great Britain, Italy ant
Japan simultaneously, a reply can
not be made until after an accord
between the governments of the
four interested powers at the next
meeting of the supreme council.
Il desire, however, to declare
now that when the question
comes before the supreme council
the representatives of France will
approach the question with the
most ardent desire to find a So
luton satisfactory to the United
States. Your excellency knows
that already the government of
the republic has done all that de-
pended upon it to give it's aid in
this question to the American
government.

cision" etc.
by the note of February 18,
after having noted that the decis-
ion of May Z, 1919, carried with
it no restriction concerning the
attribution to Japan of mandate
for the islands of the Northern Pa
cific, my department explained to
your embassy that, however, Pres |
ident Wilson and Secretary of
State Lansing, in the course of
the preceding meeting had formu-
lated in the presence of the Japa-
nese representative, categorical
reservations on the subject on the
Island of Yap; that Baron Maxine
Japanese representative on the
supreme counciD had not refused
to allow discussion of the question
raised by the representatives of
the United States, and that, conse-
quently, the japanese government !
had knowledge of the American
Settlement Assured.
"The note concluded by saying
that there were contained in it
for further conversation
between the United States and
japan which the government OF
the republic would be happy to see
result satisfactorily.
THAT note was the same day
to the japanese en-
bassy in Paris and your excellency
was kind enough to express to my
department a lively satisfaction
with the same and to give assur-
ance that it would be particularly
