he received a copy of the later con
fession, today. -

CITY OFFICIALS AT WAR
OREGON" CITY WITHOUT CHIEF
OF POLICE.
Mayor's Appointee Loses Suit Tor Sal
ary and Council's Favorite
Is Cited in Court.
OREGON CITY. Or.. Dec. 20. (Spe
cial.) Oregon City, which for four
months had two acting Chiefs of Po
lice, is now without any. Circuit
Judge Kakin today decided that E. V.
haw is not the Chief and has no right
or title to the office. Grant B. Dlm
ick Mayor, had cited Shaw to prove his
title to the office, which the Mayor
charged Shaw had usurped. Shaw's
counsel. C. D. Latourette and J. E.
Hedges alleged that he had never as
sumed the office, being merely a peace
officer and Jailkeeper.
Mayor Dlmmlck and the Council last
January failed to agree on several ap
pointments, one of which was Chief of
Police. Tho Mayor appointed Charles
E. Burns Chief, but the Council re
fused to confirm the appointment, de
claring that E. L. Shaw should be re
tained. Burns was acting Chief for
four months. He then resigned and
sued for his salary, but the decision
was against him. Shaw continued to
serve and is still doing so.
The Mayor said tonight that Shaw
had not been paid as Chief of Police
and 'he would take 'legal action to pre
vent the City Treasurer giving him. the
warrants as Chief. He also declares
that he will take legal action next year,
although his term of office expires
January 1, to prevent the Chief of Po
lice being paid more than $60 a month.
The salary now is $100 a month, but
the Mayor declares this Is illegal. He
says the charter provides that the Chief
shall receive $60 a month and that the
Council has no right to Increase the
salary. This must be done, according
to Mayor Dimmlck, through a revision
of the charter, to be approved by the
people.

CHICAGO, Dec. ' 20. -Revenge, ac
cording to the police, prompted the
murder of J. H. Logue, a diamond mer
chant,, who was . killed In his office
In the AlcVlcker Theater building in
the center of the shopping: district at
noon today.
There' is no clew-to the slayer or
slayers. ' Loguo is said to have been
responsible for the sentencing of some
diamond thieves to prison in 1305 or
1906, and police are working on the
theory that, having regained their free
dom, they may have been implicated
in the killing.
Woman May Be In Plot.
A woman may have been included in
the plot against Loguo's life- When
found in his office, he was gagged,
with a black ribbon. Seventeen knife
wounds were In his body, which caused
the revenge theory to he advanced.
He also was shot in the right shoulder,
but the wound would not have caused
his death, physicians said. His mouth
was burned with acid. A phial that
had contained the liquid was found on
the office floor.
His skull had been crushed by beat
ing. Part of Logue's right thumb was
almost severed, indicating a hand-to-hand
struggle between the assailant
and his victim.
Bloody Fingerprints Found.
Whether robbery entered into the
crime has not been determined. The
office safe was locked, but bloody
fingerprints and a bloody rag were
found inside. Clean Impressions of
the print were obtained and the police

Angeles Smelting & Refining Company,
j which has extensive properties in 60
miles from Toluca, In the state of Mex
ico. ' The letters presented were from
a Mr. Traeger, manager of Los Arios
Company, and described a condition of
continued turbulence and battling with
bandits for the last four ' or five
months. ' - .
Military Guard Withdrawn.
Mr. Traeger said the soldiers sent
by the government to his assistance
last November had been withdrawn,
leaving the Important mining centers
of Zaoualpan and Sultepec and the sur
rounding country entirely unguarded.
He said that last August a pitched
battle was fought against the bandits
in Zacualpan. in which the mine and
buildings were burned and everything
ruined that could not be carried away,
and a mining engineer, a Mr. Piatt,
was taken prisoner.
Afterward Mr. Piatt escaped and
iipon Information supplied by him' Mr.
Traeger took the government soldiers
to the scene of the trouble and de
feated the bandits in a pitched battle.
' Bandits Demand Tribute.
Traeger also alleged In a letter dated
November 12 that he had that day re
ceived from the bandits a demand for
S5000 in tribute money, which was to
have been paid within eight days. The
demand was not met and up to Decem
ber 4, when the last letter from him
was written, he was still holding his
position. He tells of another mining
man, Pancho Zllchos, who had been
taken prisoner and who was. then held
for $15,000 ransom.
Mr. Williams said he intended to go
to Mexico to investigate conditions.
Senator Smith, of Michigan.' chairman
of the sub-committee, remonstrated
against this course, saying that. for Mr.
Williams to undertake the Journey at
this time would be risking his life. He
said, hotter, that if Mr. Williams
should insist on going, he would in
vest him with authority to make an
Investigation for the benefit of the
committee.

SEALS MAY BE HUNTED
GOVERNMENT URGED TO AMEND
EXISTING ACT. .
Herd Almost Donbled and Belief Is
That Quality. Will Be Bettered by
Thinning Out Males.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. Unless the
agreement reached with Japan and
Great Britain for the protection of the
seal herds in the North Pacific Is to
fail of realization and the seal treaty,
perhaps Itself be lost, it will be neces
sary for Congress during the present
session to amend the seal act so as to
remove the five-year restriction upon
the killing of male seals on the Pribilof
Islands.
This Is the view of the Administra
tion based on several urgent communi
cations to the United States, the latest
received today from Japan. This com
munication pointed out that the exist
ing legislation amounts to a practical
repudiation of that part of the treaty
which guaranteed to the Japanese and
the British governments a fair return
from the seals' that -might be safely
killed on'the American seal islands in
lieu of those taken by pelagic Bealevs.
The seal herd has almost doubled In
number under one year of suspension
of killing, and it is the opinion ot the
State Department experts that, so far
from this being necessary to prevent
the further taking of a due proportion
of skins, some thinning out of males of
the herds is absolutely necessary to
prevent its deterioration. Therefore, it
is expected tne iTesiaent win maxe an
other effort to induce Congress to
amend the existing seal act so as to
insure fair treatment for the Japanese
and British governments.
