Allen Dawn's "Padlocked"
Opera House To-day

To those of the older generation.
who view with alarm the terrifying
manners and morals of the younger
generation, we heartily recommend
visit to the Opera House to-day
where Allan DWan's new Paramount
drama, "Padlocked," will be seen.
For this honest portrayal of a
modern American family reveals the
fact that lack Of sympathy and I'M
derstanding on the part of parents
is driving the youth of our country
to the jazz life.

Claim $4,000 Given
To Johnson by Miller
In Metal Co. Release

New York, Oct 4-(P)-Evidence
was introduced in court today in
tended to show that one of the last
official acts of Thomas w. Miller as
alien property custodian was to shake
a $4,000 plum" from the govern
mental tree into the hands of Adnab
r. Johnson.
Johnson is the man who wrote the
letter releasing to Richard, Merton,
German metal magnate, the $1,000, :
600 proceeds of American Metal
Company stock impounded under the
trading with the enemy act
Miller Is on trial with Harry NJ
Daugherty. attorney general of Pres
ident Harding'S cabinet. for CanSpir-
acy to defraud the government in
permitting approval of the metal
company claims. The government
charges they did so under the in
flucnce Of "Hypodermic injections Of
graft distributed through John T.
King. late Republican leader hired
by Merton for S441.000 to rush ap-
prevail of the claims.
In previous days of the trial George
T.. Williams. first assistant in Miller's
office. took full responsibility for such
approval as was given the claims in
the alien property Custodian's office,
and Senator Guy y. Golf, assistant
to Daugherty, assumed entire res
possibility for final award in the at
torney generals office.
Both denied that they had been
given any instructions about passing
the claim by either Daughcrty or
Miller. but both said they came to
their fina conclusions after lengthy
conferences with Johnson, who was
special assistant to Daugherty,
Johnson wrote the letter turning the
81 900, 600 over to Merton and. on his
assurance that it was all right, Golf
signed it.
Johnson was third witness TO he
called by the defense and the climax
of his testimony for the day came
when United States Attorney Buck
ner took him for cross examination.
Buckner introduced two govern
ment checks made out to Johnson
and dated February u. 1925, one for
$4,000 and one for $4,000. If it is
shown that johnson cashed them on
March 3. after returning from va
cation which consumed the last month
of his government service, he having
resigned, effective March /. Next a
letter was introduced from Miller,
whose own resignation was to be-
come effective March Is, to the at
torney general saying that he had
appointed johnson as a civilian law
yer to assist the government in suits
involving alien property claims
brought against 1t by the Equitable

DISMISS ACTION IN
ADMIRALTY COURT
AGAINST COAL FIRM

An action in the sum OF $500
against the local firms of Stone &
Cooper, coal dealers, Heath & Doug
lass. stevedores, and the steam tug
Ssguin. brought by the Neptune Line,
INC, owners of the coal barge Troy,
and in which they charge that their
barge was badly damaged in Novem-
Der, 1922, while being unloaded at the
Stone &c Cooper wharf because of the
bad condition of the said wharf, was
dismissed in an opinion handed down
recently by Judge Clarence Hale of the
u. S. district court at Portland. The
opinion has been received by the firm
of Locke, Perkins & Williamson,
which represented the three respon-
dents in the matter. and the respon-
dents are to recover costs.
The case arose when the barge,
while at the Stone & Cooper wharf be-
gan to leak badly. 1t was claimed by
the libelants that this happened be-
cause at low water the barge was
aground and that the bottom was such
that it rested upon hillocks at both
ends, with the middle of the barget
being left without support. thus strain
ing the entire vessel. 1t alleges fault
ON the part of the tug Seguin for
docking it at an unsuitable berth, and
that the stevedores were slow and lax
in their work, thus subjecting the
barge to more damage.
The respondents presented the tes-
timony of a diver to prove that the
condition of the bottom of the river
at the dock was not as claimed and
that it was n safe and suitable berth
at which bargcs, because of the tide in
the river, would rest on bottom at low
tides but at which there was no dan
ger to sound barges.
The libelants were represented in
the admiralty court by Foley & Mar
tin of New York and Nathan Thomp-
son of Portland, while the three re-
spondents were represented by Pat
tangall, Locke & Perkins, the case
being later taken over by Perkins.
Locke & Williamson when they took
over the business of the first law firm.

Final Arguments
On Appeal Big Five
Heard i'm Capital

washington. Oct. 4.-(P1-With
former Secretary Hughes appearing
for the appellants and Assistant At
torney General Donovan for the gov
eminent, the District OF Columbia
court of appeals heard final argu-
ments today on the appeal of the
big five" meat packers for the set
ting aside of the celebrated consent
decree of 1920.
In asking that the decree perma
nentIy be set aside, Mr.. Hughes ar
gued that the district court of ap-
peals had exceeded it's judicial pow
ers in entering the decree in the first
place since there had been no find
ing of fact or agreement that viola
ton of the law had in fact taken
place.
In addition, the former secretary of
state asserted that A. Mitchell Palm
er, attorney general in the Wilson
cabinet, had abused the authority of
his office in requiring the packers to
enter into the decree to prevent the
carrying out of federal actions then
instituted in the federal courts in
Illinois.
This was not decree but an
abuse of the administration of just
ice" Mr.. Hughes declared, adding
that the whole action constituted ian
abuse of the powers of the attorney
generals office the like of which
never has been seen before"
Colonel Donovan argued that the
court below had the authority to en-
ter the decree despite the stipulation
contained in it that it was not to
be construed as an admission of any
law violation by the packers.
THE defendants had a right to
compel the government to prove the
charges made in the bill of COM
plant" Mr.. Donovan said, 'EBut they
elected not to do SO, but to enter
into the consent decree.
THE purpose was to prevent vio-
lations of the Anti trust laws and
as such served the real purposes OF
the law. which is to prevent the
