Counsel for th state asked for the Sol Ice blotter. In which was recorded t'-.e arrest of Eewellyn and Bertha Wells. The defense waa willing1 to ad .lt that the charge waa entered, but the book waa asked for by A. L Mllies, ana of tha state's counsel. John Secrlst. Chief of Police of Van couver, waa sent, to aet the book, and he returned, afte? some delay, with tha police blotter, which was said not to be 'an official record. Attorneys looked at the entry made on tha morning of Sep tember :0. under the date cf September 19. as tha data changes at midnight, and soon consternation reigned. There were whisperings; and those most In - terested smelled tha book at that point where It was Imputed a change had been made. The scent of some enemi es I used In Ink eradlcatora was pro- flounced. This was called to the atten ' tlon of Judge UcMaeter, whe waa try- tng the case. secrlst admitted that he had changed the several words, but did not say when ' he had done ao. r- t'kaeae Held I an porta at. Wlnfleld Gasoway. who was in bed. naviag worked all night, waa sent for. tnd ha testified that the change had been made.

Captain W. M. Goodale and Lieuten ant Staley A.

The etrwo. contending that l.ewel!n an, I Bertha Wells had been arrested for being in a roiitn together, was a violation of a city ordinance only, while solli-ltinir for Immoral pur poses was a felony in this state, bo that ' the change lro:n the adjectives, "an ' old cat." to "rustling for her," was a serious change. The law gives a peace officer the riht to shoot at a prisoner attempting to escape. If he be arrested on a charge the penalty of which would he a penitentiary sentence, whereas, a police officer has no right to shoot at a prisoner If he is arrested only for breaking a city ordinance. Jary et Skews AIL These facts were brought to tha at tention of the Jury, not directly, as they had been excused for a recess when Judge McMaster was Informed that a change had been made In the record. The police blotter was not ad mitted directly In evidence, but the entry, made the day of the arrest, and signed by Burkhart and Gasoway. was read Into the revord. The changes also were read Into the record. Lieutenant Campbell admitted, when asked by counsel for the defense, that be knew of a fund being made up to retain an attorney to assist the state 1n the prosecution. The state answered that this was necessary, as the defend ant bad the City Attorney, three other attorneys to assist him. and the police department alo.

PLEDGES ARE CONDEMNED Oregon Graduate Manager Holds Fraternity Action Hurts School. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Jan. ILi Special.) -In an open com- munlcatlon to the Oregon Emerald of ; last night's Issue. Arthur M. Geary, 5 graduate manager of athletica at the f Cnlverslty. takes exception to the present habit of the Oregon fraterni ties In pledging preparatory school students before they enter college, contending that a change In policy would not only benefit the general feeling at the various' high schools but that It would serve to dignify, as well, tbe fraternities and the Cnlver slty. Geary was himself a fraternity man while In attendance at tha University three years. Tha correspondent's plaint is that the circulation of pledge buttona around high schools establishes an ar tificial atmosphere of discrimination which discourages some "prep" men from entering the college field and, too, that It opens a greater possibil ity for mistaken choice in fraternity selection, tome men, ha argues, are kept away from college or made to enter begrudgtngly because they real ize, all too late, that they have signed up with the wrong "crowd." He points out that men pledged early la high school may find the com plexion of tha chapter radically changed by the time they antar col lege. His contention is that all "bids" to chapter membership- should be with held until after the prospective frater has matriculated. In an editorial the college paper com mends the Geary letter and emphasizes the necessity of fraternity co-operation on thia point 's RAXCIIER BELIEVED IXST CX - DEJl ICx BANK. Upper Umatilla Resident Searching for John Xarkans. Find Horse Standing Alone. PENDLETON. Or., Jan. 11. (Spe cial.) Buried under an avalanche of snow at the bottom of Bobsled Can yon. SO miles east of Pendleton, Is believed to bo the body of John Nar kaua. Eastern Oregon's first Tlctlra of the recent storm. Ranchers along the upper Umatilla River aearched from early morning until darkness settled down over the mountains In a vain effort to find some trace of the young stockman. Narkaus started up Bobsled Canyon last Mon day In search of a cow and calf, which had been caught In the. deep snow by the storm. Since then no trace of him has beon found. As he came over from Weston Mountain, he was nt missed by the rlver ranchers with whom his relatives thought he was staying. Finally, alarmed at his pro longed absence, a brother started this morning to eewrrh for him. The riderless horse still saddled and with Ita bridle caught In the brush, was found standing near the mouth of the canyon, whore he had apparently bee-n since Tuesday morning. His tracka were retraced to where a great snowslide had obliterated the trail and filled the. canyon. Hero they stopped and though the precipitous slide of the canyon aero scoured for miles, not' another trace of Narkaus could he found. It Is believed the young stockman was caught In the slide, which his horse's walking had started and was carried 60 yards down the cliff and burled at the bottom of the canyon. Men with shovels will begin digging for tha body at daylight. ABERDEEN 1.1 W. AGREE TO TRUCE GRANGE FAIR ORGANIZES LEWIS SHATTCCK PRESIDENT OP ASSOCIATION.

Proposal to GIto Same Schedule to Points on Branch Lines as on Main Traffic Arteries Meets Strong Objection. SALEM. Or.. Jan. 11. (Special.) At tha final conference , which the Stata Railroad Commission granted today with the representatives of the O.-W. R. & K. in the distance rate hearings. It developed that the Oregon and Wash ington Commissioners are hopelessly apart in any move to secure a uniform plan for the two states and that Gen eral Traffic Manager Miller, of the O.-W. R. & N. Is desirous of securing; a uniform tariff, both state and Inter- state, for all of the lines which he rep resents. The contention at the hearing; today centered chiefly about the question of the tariffs on the branch lines. Objection was made to preparing; a tariff which would give the same rates to points on branch lines which are equally distant from the seaboard to points on the main line. Early Declsloa Expected. This question was gone into at length. What the Commission will do In this respect will not be known un til the order is finally handed down, which is expected In a comparatively short time, the order being; delayed by granting time for this conference, which the Commission has announced will be positively the last one granted. Where the Oregon and Washington Commissions seem to be unable to get together on a uniform tariff is their difference In ideas as to distance and distributive tariffs. Tbe Washington Commission la desirous of making- the distance tariff the maximum tariff and basing- the rates from that. Uniform Tariff Favored'. Traffic Manager Miller said em phatically that he was desirous of see ing all of the lines of road controlled by the O.-W. R. & N. granted a uni form tariff, both state and interstate. There seems to be some conflicts be tween the Commissions of the two states as well as the Interstate Com merce Commission relative to certain rates and the basis for certain rates, In particular between Portland and Spokane and Puget Bound points and Spokane. Several difficulties have arisen in this regard as well as in regard to those points which wish to be distributing1 centers. LINN FAIR DEBT LESSENS Annual Event at Sclo to Be Held September S,"4, 5 and 6. SCIO. Or., Jan. 11. (Special.! The dates set for the Linn County Fair this year are September 3. 4. 5 and 6. For a time last Fall It looked doubtful whether or not there would be a fair this year, as there was an Indebtedness of several hundred dollars, due to a smaller attendance and to unusually heavy premium awards. But as several shares of new stock have been sold and an assessment levied on all the old stock, it has been possible to pay off most of the debt and the balance likely will be paid in at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held here next Saturday. At this meeting will occur the annual election of officers and board of directors. More than usual Interest will mark the election this year, as both Dr. A. G. Prill and R. Shelton,' president and secretary, re spectively, for a number of years, have expressed a desire to retire from of fice. An effort will be made this year to induce the County Court to lend finan cial assistance to the fair. Man Bars Half of Mill. CHEHALIS, Wash., Jan. 11. (Spe cially C. A.
