ROY HELD, TO HAVE SHOT IN SELF-DEFENSE. mm m l MIRED E1T PORTLAND COUPLE WEDDE D IN MID-AIR Before the middle of thla week K. K. Kubli of Multnomah expects to lhave 35 votes pledged to him for speaker of the house of representa tives. There are 60 members in the house and a majority, 31, is neces sary to elect. Kubli is perfectly confident of making the grade. The fight for the speakership is three-cornered, the contenders be ing1 Kubli of Multnomah, Denton G. Burdick of Deschutes, Jefferson, Crook, Klamath and Lake, and Thomas Kay of Marion. The past week has seen, aggressive campaigns conducted by each of the trio, and during the. week many legislative nominees have drifted into Portland to have quiet conferences with Kubli, Burdick and Kay. r; Campaign Is Premature. Of course, the campaigning may appear somewhat premature in view of the fact that not until the gen eral election in November will any of the nominees know whether they will have a seat and a vote in the 1923 session. There may be some upsets, but these will be few and far between, if at all. Mrs Kubli is known to have the backing of 12 members of the Mult nomah house delegation. Two mem bers have not signed up for him yet, and one of these two is Herbert Gordon, who, an aspirant himself in the early stages, is now a sup porter of Burdick. Apparently, Kubli has 24 or -26 definite pledges; his friends say ' that he has 28, or three short of the constitutional majority, with a good chance' of picking up seven 6r eight more who are friendly to him but who havo not placed their names on thevdotted line in a written pledge. Burdick Support Uncertain. The number of written pledgres Th!ch Burdick has is uncertain. The number is estimated from a posi tively known basis of 12 upward. Mr. Kay's strength is an unknown quantity, although it is conceded that he has made a good start. There, has been afloat for the last ix weeks a, rumor that a coalition would be formed by Burdick. Gor don and Kay, and that the one who could show the most strength when all the cards were on the table would have the support of the other two. Kay is reported . as vehe mently denying and repudiating any such combination Insofar as he is concerned. A pact was entered into between Burdick and Gordon, which in volved several other legislators, to the effect that if Burdick could pro duce the signed pledges of seven eastern Oregon representatives by July 25 that Gordon would give his support to Burdick. '" Burdick Convinces Gordon. When Burdick arrived in Portland a week ago, accompanied by H. J. Overturf and Senator Upton, he is said to have carried in his portfolio the required number of written promises, with some to spare, and that Gordon was satisfied with the showing made. Mr. Burdick does not have at this time the solid backing of eastern Oregon, for Kay has landed at least one man from that section, and Kubli has reasons for expecting three if not five votes from the same territory. There are about six eastern Oregon votes which are un attached, and if the usual "stick together" spirit which heretofore has animated the members east of the Cascades exists now, these half dozen votes are likely to fall into Burdick's basket. Western Votes Scattered. In western Oregon the votes are split. Some of the coast men are committed to Burdick and some have pledged themselves to Kubli. Kay's campaign, has been confined largely to the Willamette valley. Burdick, with Overturf and Upton, visited several, but not all of the nom inees in eastern. Oregon and are said to have been successful as far as they went. Kay has campaigned chiefly in Portland. This wek Kubli intends scouting around the west side of the Wil lamette valley, where 'he already nas some adherents and expects to find more. " Someone Being; Fooled. Undoubtedly someone is being fooled, for there are a few lean's lators-elect who, are supposed, to be for. Burdick, and also for Kubli, and who personally declare that they have not pledged themselves to eitner, or to ivay. Organization of the senate .has not progressed in recent weeks. The seven senators of eastern Oregon have agreed to stand together and vote as a unit, but they are not com mitted to any aspirant for-president In particular, candidates for presl dent are E. D. Cusick of Linn. B. L. Eddy of Douglas, . Bert Farrell of Multnomah and Gus Moser of Mult nomah, i . Newspaper Article Leads to Family Reunion. After Silence of 35 Years Two Branches Meet Again. SANDPOINT, Idaho, - July- 29. Through a story published Th a Spokane paper recently, E. D. Des Jardines of Bonners Ferry, Idaho, and his nephew, Elza Des Jardines of Sandpoint, found each other 'here this week after the two branches of the family had heard nothing of each other for more than 25 years. Edmond D. Des Jardines left the family home at Buckingham, Can ada, 31 years ago. For a few years he and his brother Alfred, father of the Sandpoint Des Jardines, corre sponded, but about 25 years ago they ceased writing and after that the family had no trace of Edmond, who more than 20 years ago came to this section and finally located at Bon ners Ferry. E. D. Des Jardines read a recent account in a Spokane paper about Elra Des Jardines and his family being iu an automobile accident. Struck by the similarity of the name to his own he came to Sandpoint to look Elza"up. As a result of the meeting, E. D. Des Jardines of Bon ders Ferry .has been restored to communication with his brother and other members of the. family etlll in rfanada, . I ' ' n' .

Thomas Named as lossibiHties. Although this is the vacation pe riod, politics is not "adjourned." Quiet boomlets are being fostered for the municipal election to be held in the autumn. Two city commis sioners are to be elected in Novem ber and there will be a full supply of aspirants in the field prepared to fill these vacancies. Successors to City Commissioners Bigelow and Pier are to be selected. Mr. Bigelow has Tbeen holding down the Job of commissioner for many years and has no intention, appar ently, of relinquishing his job and returning to private life. What Mr. Pier will - do Is more uncertain. There has been a belief that Com missioner Pier would not seek an other term but of late ther has come a rumor that he might, after all,, change his mind. Stanhope Pier, son of the com missioner, has been told by his friends that he should succeed his father. The suggestion has not been rejected and for months past Stanhope Pier has been looking over the situation and studying what his chances would be. Of course, if Commissioner Pier is a candidate for re-election his son will, not op pose him. , Dr. George Parrish, 1 city health officer, may:try his luck. The doc tor has a wide acquaintance and his official position has given him pub licity which is valuable for a candi date. A number of years ago the doctor was a candidate, and al though unsuccessful at that time he made a strong showing. Alva Lee Stephens is another name being used with increasing fre quency as a prospective aspirant for city commissioner. He is familiarly known as "Big Steve." Dr. T. L. Perkins, who served sev eral months as a city commissioner, and who has been . member vof the legislature in the state senate, has been carefully planning his re-entrance into the race from the time he terminated his brief service at the city hall. George B. Th'omas, member of the school board, has, according to his friends, had an eye on a city com mlssionership for sometime. He is expected to make the plunge in No vember. In this connection it is re ported that Thomas, Perkins and Stephens are being considered "for the indorsement of the federation of patriotic societies. As there are but two 'commissioners to elec however, only two candidates are likely to be indorsed. ..... Only one, woman has, thus far, been mentioned for city commis sioner. Mrs. Ocean Jolly was gath ering support among organizations of women but the printing estab lishment with which she has been identified is now involved in litiga tion and this case may have some effect on her candidacy. The municipal election,' which or dinarily would attract keen inter est, is overshadowed by the election of governor and will have. to take a back seat when the state campaign warms up.

A fight for United States senatorship be tween Peter Goelet Gerry and former Governor- R. Livingston Beeckman, both originally from New York, who live next door to each other along the ocean front of Newport and who have hobnobbed over tennis nets and on the polo field, promises to be the featutre of ;; the approaching political campaign in Rhode Island. Mr. Gerry, who- Is a son of Com modore Elbridge T. Gerry of New York, captured a senate seat from Henry L. Llppitt in 1916. He is a democrat, while Mr. Beeckman, who will oppose him, as the republican candidate, served his novitiate in politics as- a state representative from 'Newport and finally as gov ernor. ..There are no primaries in this state. Both parties will hold their conventions early in October. While the senatorial nominations are vir tually conceded, the rest of both tickets, from governor down, is in doubt. Prohibition enforcement and the long textile strike have aroused some antagonism within the repub lican party, which today has all the state offices. - Governor Emery J.

As the first compromise between marriage ties made in heaven and nuptials contracted on terra f irnia, hovering in an airplane between the celestial unknown and this planet, Miss Eva Burdick and Roy H.

L. O'Neal, a few minutes before the scheduled time of thH ceremony last night, and took off from Broom field, Eastmoreiand. in the direction of Crystal Lake park, where the Veterans of Foreign Wars staged a picnic yesterday, and over which the rites were to be performed. There 'the pilot and his romance extraor dinary flew about for a while, wait ing for a call from the minister, who was officiating at the broadcasting station of Hallock & Watson in this city. " - .

Roy, informant for the sher iff's office at Oregon-City and spe cial deputy constable in Multnomah county, who shot and killed Stewart Johnson in a ' Chinese restaurant Monday night, was absolved from blame yesterday, when the grand jury returned a not true bill in the case. He had been neld on a charge of second degree murder. Immediatelv after the filing of the notftrue bill 'charges of carrying a concealed and deadly weapon were lodged against Roy Dy George Mow ray, assistant district attorney. Bail was set at $200 on the new charges. Roy was re-arrested and released on furnishing the amount. The action of the grand jury in freeing Roy from responsibility for the slaying came as a surprise. Ac cording to witnesses, Roy and a woman named Rose Price were din ing in the restaurant, when Johnson, apparently under the influence of liquor, approached their table and used abusive language. In the ar gument and fight which followed Roy drew a pistol and shot Johnson, who died the next day. Following the shooting Roy led from the restaurant and took refuge in the customs house, where he was captured. Ten. witnesses be sides Roy and Mrs. Price appeared before the grand jury. Although Roy carries a card which stares that he is a special deputy constable in this county, Mowrey was unable to find any record of .the appointment in the county clerk s office yesterday. There was no oath of office on file. Even though Roy is a special deputy constable, Mowrey contends, he nas no right to carry a concealed deadly weapon. The maximum sentence for the crime, which is a misdemeanor, is a fine of tlOO and three months in jail. Mrs. Price, who was held as a material witness, was released yesterday. John Smetzler was indicted on a charge of forging a check for J50 on the Pacific Coast Rescue and Protective society. W. G. McClaren, superintendent of the mission, ap peared against him.. .

Will of Sailor Engraved on v Identification Disc. Han Lost in Jutland Battle Left Strange Testament. LONDON, July 29. Strange as the story of any document told in fiction is that ' of a will which has just been admitted to probate and is now filed in Somerset house. It is the "last will and testament" of a sailor, William Skinner, who lost his life when his ship, the In defatigable, was sunk in the battle of Jutland. It is in the form of the ordinary identification disc. On one side, in the uaual deeply punched letters, appears the name, number, rating and religion of the man to whom it had been Issued. ' On the other side of the disc ap pears, at first sight, to be just a circular piece of smooth, polished brass. . But when viewed at a cer tain angle tere can be seen about 75 minuteljengraved words. With a microscope they can be plainly read. They constitute Skinner's will, by which he -bequeaths every thing to his wife. The disc had been recovered from the sea with Skin ner's body and on being cleaned re vealed its secret. Old PlaaHotelat San Juan Closed After 72 Years. Jio Inn In California to Which More Ilomnnce nnd Hls'toricnl Color Is Attached. SAN JUAN BAUTISTA, Cal., July 29. The names of General Vallejo, John C. Fremont, William Tecumseh Sherman, James A. Forbes and Sena tor Broderick are some of the fa mous names inscribed on the reg ister of the old Plaza hotel at San Juan, which has been closed after 72 years of operation. There is probably no hotel in the state to which more romance and historical color is attached. In the first register, 1852 to 1859, after ward stolen because of its romantic associations, there would be in scribed the . man's name and his horse. ; The civil war was fought out on its pages. One man, writing his signature after hearing of the battle of Bull Run, affixed to it: "Hurrah for the confederacy," and further down another guest wrote: "To hell with ' the confederacy. Every reb. should be hung by the ears." Bayard Taylor, famous for hi "Travels Afoot," .was one of those who stayed at the Plaza short ly after Its opening. Approximately 18 hours after he shot himself through the head, the body of Laurence Endicott, presi dent of the Endicott Paper company, East Fifth and Flanders streets, was found on the sleeping porch of his home at 985 Westover road at 1. o'clock yesterday afternoon by W. L. Walsh, local manager of the com pany. Mrs. Endicott went to San Fran cisco over a week ago to assist in settling the estate of an aunt and was expected back "last night, ac cording to Walsh. He said that for eight days, during his wife's absence, Mr. Endicott had not been at his office and the only communication between them had been by tele phone. Late Friday afternoon a telegram from Mrs. Endicott reached the office and Walsh telephoned the message to Mr. Endicott. It an nounced that Mrs. Endicott was starting for home- and would arrive on the Shasta limited last night. In the same conversation Walsh asked Endicott to come to the of fice Saturday morning, which the latter agreed to do. When he did not appear Walsh telephoned sev eral -times and finally at noon drove to the Endicott residence. Failing to" receive any response when he rang, Walsh also called tothe upper : windows and then, finding the front door wide open, walked in and through the house. Death Clearly Suicidal. Lying on the bloodstained bed on the sleeping porch was the body of Endicott, a revolver beside it and a bullet hole completely through the head. On the head of the bed was a mark where the bullet had struck and rebounded. From appearances Endicott had shot himself while sit ting on the edge of the bed and fallen over on his side. Examina tion of the .38-caliber revolver showed that two shots had been fired. The first one evidently was a trial shot, as the bullet had struck the floor and glanced off against the wall opposite. Walsh immediately called the po lice, who, after a complete investi gation, declared the case clearly one of suicide. The coroner took charge of the body, declaring that death had occurred from 12 to 18 hours before it was found. Neighbors told .-he police they heard two shots fired about 7:30 o'clock Friday night and it is thought that Endicott shot himself at that time. Persons liv ing in the vicinity said they had not seen Very much of the man since his wife had gone away. Wien found he wore a khaki suit, woolen Bhirt and old slippers. The suicide could be attributed to. no definite reason, either by family, friends or business asso ciates. Walsh said the affairs of the paper company were in excellent shape, and the only business worry Endicott had was that an eastern manufacturer, whose goods the lo cal 'company handled, had indicated that it would change its Portland agency. This, Walsh said, would have caused Endicott a menetary loss, and bad troubled him some what, but not sufficiently to have caused him to take his life. Despondent Tone Noted. His health had not been extremely good for quite a while. He had been troubled with high blood pressure and other ailments but they were not considered serious. Walsh did admit, however, that Endicott had seemed gloomy and despondent when he talked with h(m over the tele phone for the last time Friday, and also in previous conversations. Laurence Endicott was 42 years old and was raised in Boston. He was a descendant of Governor Endicott, one of the early governors of Massachusetts, and was a grad uate of Harvard. Even intimate personal friends do not seem to know many .details concerning his life. He came to Portland about three years ago with his wife, who was a Los Angeles girl. They moved -into the new house on Westover road last February. There were no chil dren. Besides being president of the Endicott Paper company in Port land, he was vice-president of the Mutual Paper company in Seattle. The body will be kept at the coroner's .office until the widow ar rives in the city and funeral ar rangements are made. DE EX-CHIEF ON WAY TO AMER ICA, RUMOR SAYS. Belief Is That Former "Presi dent" Will Seek Support Here for Anti-Treaty Faction. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, July 29. Eamonn de Valera has left Ireland secretly and has taken passage on a ship bound for the United States, according to a well-defined rumor circulated in Irish republican circles in this city. It was pointed out that De Valera has not been seen with the tattered remnants of the republican army in Ireland for several days. It is be-' lieved by many of his friends that he has made his way to an Irish seaport and escaped from the coun try in order once again to seek sym- . pathy and financial support in America for the anti-treaty faction. De Valera was last heard of in rural districts around Cork, rallying his men after the flight from Dublin and'trying to arouse the countryside to join the insurgent cause. In June, 1919, wheri affairs in Ireland were at a crisis in negotia- tions with England, De Valera, then provisional president of the so called republic of Ireland, suddenly bobbed up in this country. He had worked his way across on a freight er. He was in New York several days before his identity was dis closed.
