THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, APRIL S, 1920 CASUS CAPTORS , TO BE DISMISSED Patrolman Smith at In quest Held Negligent KILLING IS CALLED ACCIDENT Corpncr's Jury Finds Poor Judg ment Was Shown by Smith; Hostile Crowd at Hearing. Patrolmen Jack O'Halloran and James F. Smith will be dismissed from the Portland police department as a result of the accidental killing- of Wayne Cason, aged 19. in the lobby of the police station early Sunday night. The coroner's Jury held that Cason's death was accidental, but that negli fence and incompetence on the part of Patrolman Smith had beep shown. The dismissal of the two patrolmen followed the recommendations of the coroner's jury insofar as it related to Patrolman Smith, but Mayor Baker and Chief of Police Jenkins were em phatic in the belief that O'Halloran was more responsible for the boy's tragic death than was Smith, and for that reason announced he, too, would be dismissed from service. Both men will have the right to appeal to the civil service boanl. Inquest Moved to Auditorium. Because of the dense crowd -which packed the courtroom on the fifth floor of the courthouse, Dr. Earl Smith, coroner, adjourned the inquest to the city auditorium after Mayor Baker bad telephoned for an audito rium janitor to open the building. More than 300 people crowded lnt every available foot of space In the courtroom and several hundred peo ple were in the lobby seeking ad mittance. Just as the inquest was starting come person in the rear of the room asked if the hearing could not b Adjourned to some larger hall. "The public Is deeply interested in this affair and I respectfully submit that it has a right to hear every bit of testimony which might be given," said the unidentified spokesman. Coroner Smith and Mayor Baker held a. hurried conference which resulted in procuring the auditorium. More than 700 persons filed into the audi torium and sat listening to the testi mony during the three hours of the hearing. Aataaroalam to Police' Shows. ' That the crowd was plainly antag onistic to the police department was plainly Indicated by the hisses and derisive shouts from every part of the hall when Patrolman Smith took the witness chair to offer his testimony. The same treatment was accorded Pa trolman O'Halloran. Patrolman Smith testified he had started to place young Cason under arrest at Second and Alder streets on complaint of Sam Goldstein, aged 14, who accused Cason of having struck him in the face. Smith said Cason denied striking the boy and at first had. offered to go to the police sta tion: and talk to the captain. Later, testified the patrolman. Cason showed resistance, and he was compelled to use force in taking him to the sta tion.' Several hundred persons, most of whom were sympathizers of the youth, followed them. Smith Says He Was Hit on Head., After he and another patrolman had started to take Cason from the lobby to the jail elevator, he said, they loosened their hold on Cason in order to go through a narrow alleyway, and at that moment Cason grappled wltb him' and lifted him entirely off the floor. "At that moment somebody hit me on the head and almost instantly 1 heard the shot fired." Smith testified. Just before the shot was fired 1 could feel Cason struggling with me with his -'hands near my revolver holster. After th shot was fired I felt some thing hit my foot and I stooped down and picked up my revolver." The witness said he had not seen the -revolver at any time during the scuffle in the station and did not know Cason had been shot until he examined his gun and saw that one of tbe'shells had been fired. Shot Mystery to Smith, ife said he could not account for the; shot In any way, although he gave It as his theory that the revolver had- been loosened from the holster by Cason in his struggle and that the revolver had been discharged when it hit the cement floor. "Isn't it a rule of the department thai the hammer must be on an empty chamber at all times?" queried STOMACH TROUBLE i AND DIZZY SPELLS Indications of stomach trouble are often mistaken for other disorders and cause unnecessary alarm. Palpitation of tne heart does not Imply that the vital organ Is affected. Pain In the back does not neces sarlly mean kidney trouble. Headache dos not often indicate that there is anything wrong with the neaa. All of these symptoms may be caused by stomach trouble and when this Is righted the symptoms will dis appear. If the sufferer from any form of stomach trouole is pale and the biood is thin, the first step toward restor ing tne activity ot the stomach is to improve the condition of the blood. A supply or rich, woll-oxidized blood J. necessary to Rood digestion.- Rnilci up the blood by the treatment which Mrs. Joseph D. Atkins, of No. 316 West Kirst street. Spokane.

My stomach was 'so weak that even carefully se lected food caused Indigestion and there was an uncomfortable fullness fter. a meal. T had dizzy spells and suffered frequently from nervous headaches. My color was poor and I lost weiaht and was restless at night. "T had always heard Ir. Williams' rtnk Pills spokon of very highly and rhanclng to see an advertisement of tne ' pills I procured a box. They helped me almost at once and I was much pleased with the result , at the end of a week that I continued taking the remedy.

"Can you say whether' or not the hammer of your revolver was on an empty chamber"""' ."No, 1 cannot say as to that." re plied Smith. He then admitted ' he had not examined his revolver for three or four days before , the fata,! accident. O'Halloran Give Testimony. The witness further testified he knew both the boy who was killed and his father. Boon Cason, local at torney. He said he had nothing but kindly feeling fr the boy. He fur ther testified the only reason he had not handcuffed Cason and called a patrol wagon was because he wanted to show the utmost courtesy. He ad- I mitted it would have been better po lice procedure to use the- handcuffs and call the patrol just as soon' as Cason showed the least sign of resist' ance. . -' "But he had promised to go to the station peaceably and I took him at his word," insisted the witness. Patrolman O'Halloran testified that when he 3aw Cason grab Patrolman Smith around the waist in. the lobby of the station, he rushed up from the desk and used his police "sap." Smith Hit by First Blow. "The first blow struck Smith -and the second one hit Cason," testified O'Halloran.- "When he was hit he started to sag to the floor, and at that moment I heard the report of the revolver." O'Halloran insisted he had not seen the revolver at any time until after It struck the floor, although he was standing within two feet or even closer to Smith and "Cason. Earl Kane, aged 19, of 894 East Caruthers street, testified that Pa trolman Smith had used unnecessary violence in taking young Cason to the police station. He said that when the policeman first questioned Cason about hitting the Goldstein boy, Ca son denied having struck the youth ana said lr he wanted to hit any body he would pick out somebody his own size. He said Cason wanted to go home or do anything to straighten out the difficulty rather than that his father hear of the escapade. ' Violence la Charged. "They stopped on Second street be tween Stark and Oak and Wayne again asked them to let him go," tes tified young Kane. "It was then he Btarted to fight and the policemen got him down on the cement side walk. , I saw Smith strike him twice n the face while Wayne's head was lying on the pavement. At that time I asked Smith if he was trying to arrest Cason or kill him, and Smith then 'Said he would take me to the station, too:" Kane further testified that he saw O'Halloran etrike C&non three times with the "sap" during the fracas in the police station, and that there was blood all over Cason's face. He did not see. the gun until after It was lying on the floor, he said, and he did not Jinow just how or when the shot had been fired. Cason, Reported on Knees. John Santell. 421 East Forty-eighth street, gave testimony along the same lines. He said Cason was sagging to the floor and was down nearly to his knees when the shot rang out in the police station. He also testified he did not see the gun until it struck the floor. He said the gun was spinning around on its handle when he first noticed it, anj he could not say whether the shot had been fired be fore or after the gun had struck the floor. He testified he ran to young Cason as soon as it was seen that he had been shot and attempted to lift him up. "He was bleeding at the mouth and blood was all over the floor," he said. "I asked them if they were going to let him die there on the floor, aAid then some person helped me drag him through the little alley way to the Jail elevator. Others Testify Similarly. Chester Inwall, 491 East Thirty- fourth street; and Glen Zimmerman, 881 Francis avenue, testified along imilar lines, although neither would testify so positively as the other two youths concerning the alleged rough treatment received by Cason at the hands of Patrolman Smith. The taking of testimony was not concluded until 11 o'clock Tuesday night, and It was midnight before the jurors had arrived at their verdict. The verdict simply stated that Cason had been killed accidentally in the lobby of the police station, although this recommendation was added: We feel, however, that Patrolman James S. Smith used poor Judgment and does not possess the necessary qualities to fit him for the duties of a peace officer. r Officials. Promise Dismissal. Mayor Baker and Chief of Police Jenkins, who were present when the verdict was read by Coroner Smith, announced at once that both O'Hal loran and Smith would be dismissed from the department today, but that they would be given a hearing before the civil service board should they desire it. "To my mind O'Halloran displayed even less Judgment than did Smith and Is more responsible for the tragic affair," said Mayor Baker following the verdict of the Jury. "Chief Jenkins and myself are'of one mind on this point." The mayor further announced that hereafter the police would be ordered to handcuff all unruly persons and call for the police patrol when making arrests of this or any other character. ''At the first sign of resistance a policeman hereafter must use the handcuffs without further parley and call the police patrol," announced the mayor. "Had Patrolman Smith used better judgment and done this, this tragedy would have been averted. As long as I have anything to do with it. this line of action will be strictly followed hereafter." Smith on Force Ten Months. Patrolman Smlt'i has been on the police force for ten months and has just passed his probationary period. He was in the service during the war and formerly worked for the govern ment in Alaska as a deputy United States marshal. Patrolman O'Halloran has been on the force for three years. He has been a motorcycle patrolman for sev eral months. Inasmuch as both men are under civil service, they can ap-. peal their cases to the civil' service board, which body will make the final decision as to whether or not-they shall be permanently discharged. Boon Cason,. father of the boy w.ho was KilieJ,- was at the inquest with his attorney. Although he made no definite announcement, it was con sidered likely that he would bring civil suit against the two-patrolmen, who are bonded in the sum of 1000 each.

SOIL FULFILLS L Prize Contest Shows Winner Is Missouri Corn. UTAH LEADS IN OATS YIELD Washington First in Wheat With 83.96 Bushels Maine --'. Ahead in Potatoes. WASHINGTON. Mother Earth, or at least such portion of her as is im bedded in American soil, is ready and able to do her share to carry out Her bert Hoover's programme of agricul tural expansion. Remarkable results in that direction recently have been achieved in widely separated parts of the United States. They have Just been brought to the attention of the department of agriculture by the Farm Journal of Philadelphia, in its March number. The bumper yields of such staple products as corn, wheat, oats, cotton, alfalfa and potatoes in dicate that American farms are richer in possibilities than ever, and, by the employment of industrious methods. are capable of rendering Uncle Sam immune for all time from the dan ger of food shortage. In the fall and winter of 1918 the Farm Journal instituted a nation wide competition for the purpose of speeding up development of agricul ture on lines identical with those ad vocated in Mr. Hoover's speech to the Western Society of Engineers. The specific object of the competition was to spur farmers into raising prize crops for war needs. Farmers north, south, east and west entered the lists by the thousand to show what five acres of soil could produce in the spe cialty of their respective agricultural regions. Corn Honors to "Missouri. Missouri carries off the honors in corn, closely pursued by Ohio and Indiana counties. Washington state (Island county) wins In wheat, carry ing off all three prizes. Utah is the banner oats state, with New Mexico and Nebraska, respectively second and third. Maine leaves the rest of the country far behind in potatoes, Uncle Sam's northernmost county, Aroos took, distancing all rivals anywhere. California is the alfalfa champion, and Georgia is the realm of King Cotton. The details of the winning yields are as follows: Corn First prize, J. K. Shelton, Holden, Md., 3 27,47 bushels an acre; second prize, Clarence 1 Slack, Pleasant Valley. O., 12i.tK bushels an acre; third prize, W. H. Baker, Lyons, Ind., 121.68 bushels an acre. Wheat First prize, Fred De Wilde. Oak Harbor, Wash., t39rt bushels an acre: sec ond prize. John Le Sourd, Coupeville, Wash., M.33 bushels an acre: third prize, Justus L.. Hancock, Coupeville, Wash., 81.24 bushels an acre. Oats F'irst prize. Jesse Bailey, Monti cello, Utah. 107 bushels an acre; second prize, James .T. Reynolds. Luna. N.- M-., 93. 6S bushels an acre; third prize. John D. Hauik, David Cl, Neb., 78.15 bushels an acre. Potatoes First prize, Alexander MrPher son. Presque .Isle. Me., 030.6 bushels an acre; second prize. Robert Cleaves, Presque Isle, Me., 029.7 bushels an acre; third prize, K. S. Hayt, Easton, Md., 526.3 bushels an acre. Alfalfa First prize. N. W. Miller. San Bernardino county. Cal., 7 tons an acre; second prize. S. G. McKinley, of Illinois; third prize. J. J. Matthews, of Missouri, each more than 6 tons. Cotton First prize. C. O. M. Smith of Georteta. The average yields above indicated are in every case immeasurably larger than the average production for the United States. Island county. Wash, ington, for example, produced roundly 84 bushels of wheat to the acre, or about five times as much as the aver age production for the whole United States In the last ten years. The corn figures of 127 bushels are also nearly five times bigger. Potatoes show sen sational possibilities. The Maine farm ers have hitherto been raising roundly 200 bushels an acre, which is far ahead of the United States average of 96 bushels. The Aroostook county potato kings coaxed more than 525 bushels, of spuds from the generous earth that borders on Canadian fron tier. Governor Mllliken of Maine has written the prize-winners warm let ters, commend.lng the new glory they have achieved for the Pine Tree state Georgia's cotton record will be bet ter understood1 (1360 pounds of lint) when it is remembered that the aver age for the state last year was only about 200 pounds. Heretofore freak" records of bumper yields have been achieved by the "intensive" cultivation of small patches of land, rarely more than an acre in extent. To obtain those re sults money was spent lavishly on fertilizer, manures and labor. This competition required at least a five acre field, and in many cases ten acres were devoted to producing the prize yield. Local agricultural experts, inter preting the above figures, make thf interesting statement that if corn generally were produced in America on the scale of possibilities revealed by Farmer Shelton of Missouri (12.7 bushels an acre), -it would be so cheap that it could economically be used for fuel, as was done in Kansas 20 or 30 years ago. The great moral of the amazing results herein described is that if the farmers of the United States can get the labor, the soil will do the rest. BIG AIR FIGHT PICTURED Brigadier-General Mitchell Visual izes Decisive Conflict. NEW YORK. The first battle of the next war will be fought in the air, Brigadier-General William Mitchell, chief of the division of training and operation, army' air service, declared in a statement here in which he visualized a decisive aerial conflict. The battle, he added, would also be the last one of the war because the losing nation would be 'helpless and unable to continue hostilities after its air fleet had been- con quered. . The air service chief predicted that aviation would ."completely: drive" huge battle cruisers, battleships and other surface ships off the water. in the .next conflict. "A great air force can render surface craft incapable of operating and stop debarkations from ships and attacks on shore establish ments," he said. ' . Brigadier-General Mitchell in his visualization of the great air struggle of the future described vividly the part he believes giant gun-bearing battle planest bombers, ri,id dirigible balloon and armored aircraft of va rious designs will play. With the beginning of war he pic tures a huge fleet of dirigible bal loons soaring high above the ocean, : while from nests on the tops of these. tiny -airplanes are launched, locate 'the enemy, fleet and return with the information. The chief air officer, working in contact with the army and navy, sends his air force against the enemy. . . "The American fighting planes drive from the sky the enemy pursuit and combat planes . launched from the decks of enemy battleships-," he says. "Then comes the main attack by our HOOVER OD IDEA air forces against the hostile fleet," says General Mitchell. "The vhattle planes are in squadrons of 25 and four of these constitute an attack group. Circling over the enemy fleet they maintain a heavy fire, destroying personnel and anti-aircraft equipment. - '"With the gun-bearing planes or immediately behind them are the bombers, huge air freighters carrying projectiles, weighing up to one ton and depth bombs for effect against submarines. '-Water torpedoes con trolled by wireless from the planes, crash into the ' sides of the hostile vessels sinking the smaller ones and damaging the larger.- -. - . "Darkness comes and when' visibility from the ships has become poor, huge rigid dirigible balloons carrying bombva of enormous weight join the attack. their projectiles crashing through " the heaviest armor of the enemy ships. "As the navy comes up to com plete the work done by the aerial forces the battle Is over. The enemy driven-roip. the air and with most of its ships either sunk or out of ac tion, surrenders. The battle has been the first and Is also the last of the war. The enemy cannot land hia forces." GRAVE MARKINGS ARGUED CONTROVERSY . IX EXGLAXD OVER RESTING PLACE OF DEAD. Some Relatives Want More Elab orate Headstones Than Simple Cross Identification. LONDON. Whether relatives shall be permitted to set up any sort of in dividual memorials they desire on the graves of soldier relatives in France, or the present policy be continued of permitting only the rude wooden crosses with name and identifica tion number attached is the nub of a controversy which has arisen. Lord Robert Cecil has been acting as spokesman for those who desire the privilege fof erecting individual memorials on the graves of their sol dier dead. They are opposed by a large num ber of bereaved relatives who argue that most of those who have gone to look at a friend's nanje on one of the thousands of little oak crosses have felt that his grave received dignity from the reticence of its quiet uni formity with those of all his fellow soldiers. "At present our war cemeteries in France are the most beautiful and moving places in which men ever col lected their dead," declared one Amer ican father of a soldier buried in France, after a visit to hlB grave. "The contrast Is enormous between their nobly expressive simplicity as monuments of unselfish brotherhood in arms and the average civilian cem etery In France or Kngland with its restless, jumbled individualism. That fine contrast would soon be lost if all relatives might do as they chose. In getting their way they would Irre parably mar the resting place of their friends' comrades."
