City Will Start Food With One
Tenth of Her Own Taxes

Success or Failure of Pr j ct Rts's
Willi Connly Court -Issued
BjbiIs Sot Yd Sold
Accompanied by a resolution lo!
appropriate one-tenth of the city tax
for a fund for the proposed armory,
the ordinance providing for a ten
nilll levy on the taxable property for
vthe year 1912 was passed by the city
council Monday night. The resolu
tion for the armory fund will be fol
lowed In due time by an ordinance
sotting a do from the general tax
fund an nmu:tnt equivalent to what,
a levy of one mill would have raised.
This proceeding is simply to avoid
legal complications that might have;
ensued IT the measure providing fori
the ten-mill levy embraced a prn-j
vision that one mill thereof should
be applied to the armory fund. j
It is estimated that a ton-mill 1e-v,
the maximum allowed by the char-,
ter, will raise about $:':!. oo. Tiii.
would allow t230 as a starter for!
the armory, which, ii is planned, l.i!
to cost approximately $40,nuu. in-,
elusive of the site, and the state i-.j
to pay one-half. It rests with the.'
County Court, at Its meeting next
month, whether the state's available,
appropriation will be met with ait!
equal amount. It will be asked to
make a special levy of half a mill on
the county valuations, and If It does,
there will be nearly $18,000 coming
from that Bource. Of that sum. the
city would perforce raise a share
equal to one-half a mill on Its cor
porate valuation. In addition to the
exclusive one mill levy within her
own boundaries.
In accordance with the foregoing
plan, the city herself would pay an
armory tax ou the basiB of one and
a half mills as against only a half
mill on part of the tematnder of the
county. And the proportion of the
latter levy would not he a noticeable
obligation on resident taxpnyers; at
least one-half of that share of the
taxation would fall on outside cor
porations with raiir.ir.d and timber
holdings.
These Ideas of financing the
armory project were expressed by
Councilman Or. George E. Ilouck, the
father of the proposition. He could
not guarantee to the council that the
County Court would make the ie
sired levy, but he was of the opinion
that the court would not repeat us
declination of last year when the
matter was presented to them In a
clear, concise way.
To i'mtcit t'lan of Apportioning
Itiillroail Taxes,
In connection with the taxation
matters. .Mayor Micelll called the at
tention of the council to the new
plan of the state tax commission with
regard to the apportionment of taxes
derived on the assessment of rail
road rights of way and rolling stock
and other equipment. Heretofore,
lioieburg has received all of the taxes
derived by levy upon all trackage
and the shops within her corporate
boundaries. I'nder the new plan,
Initiated by the state commission, she
receives only a pro-rata share of the
lax derived from all the trackage aad
equipment in the whole country.
To explain: All of the trackage in
(he county, embracing the main line
and sidings, and rolling stock and
operative equipment, such as shops
and tanks, are given a value In one
lump. Then the general tax on this
valuation is apportioned to all the
localities abutting I lie railroad line
on the basis of the school and road
district mileage which they contain.
Thus. Roseburg with a yard cf
several miles of track and the round
house and other facilities, must give
up, If the commission adheres to its
announced plan, a large amount o"
tax which It has heretofore received
to other localities In the county Ini
I mediately contiguous to the railroad
line.
After brief discussion, it was de
cided to eultst the co-operation cf
other division towns, such as Grunt
Pass and ABhland, In a protest to the
state commission. Mayor Micelll was
authorized to act In person for this
j city. He announced .that he would
lose du uuie in aioiiig in ine prepara
tion of a Joint protest. He spoke in
favor of "nob" Smith, the new!.
elected Mayor of Grants Pass, as the
person to present the protest to the
commission.

seen coming out of the house where
the murder was committed.
Belief that ho la In the Rhndow or

yesterday, when for the third full
day. he underwent questioning bv
Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald,
and wan allowed opportunity to cross
examine those speaklnx against him.
"They've got a rope around my
neck and only the finding of the real
murderer before they hang me can
save me now," he said.

.T. F. Hawkes, jointly accused with
Lochard of extensive petty robberies.
was called In yesterday to confront
Lochard and tell what he had to sav
of the '"frame-up" charged by Loch-
am to mm. He denied In every de
tail that he had anything to do with
the case, mid said ho first knew that
Lochard was to he accused when he
read it in the Oregonian.
"I still believe this man Is at the
back of the whole thing." snld the
suspect; "(hat he furnished Mlnaid
the money to bring Jennings and Mr
Bride here. It was my only chance
to save my neck, to show the con
spiracy, but they are warned now."
Hawkes said Lochard had told him
of killing a man In Alaska who had
broken up his home,
"I guess I did say that," said Loch
ard. "but It wasn't the truth. The
mini rt'lned by home and I shot him.
but only crippled him. I was not In
dicted for It. The story that I killed
him reached here before me and I
never took the trouble to deny It."
Lochard admitted that he had
worked out a plan for attacking au
tomobile parties, and also confessed
that he had approached women.
The suspect was asked questions
concerning his whole career, and an
swered them readily up to a certain
point. He said he was born In Ala
bama and came West many years ago.
He was married In Spokane to a
worn a n w b o d I voreed h I in w hen he
first went to prison. His first trouble
began at Cape Nome, Alaska, when,

man whom the bartender was trying
to rob nt a dice game. Lochard said
be cut the man slightly with a knire
and was sentenced to serve a year at
McNeil Island.
When released, he went to work at
tlin T.i oiort i ail road shops and con
tinued there until the strike of 1907,
when he came to Portland. He was
here about three months when be
fell in with a man at Second and
(illsan streets, a former Southern Pa
cific conductor, whose name he could
not remember. This man told him
of a "plant" ho had located at Rose
burg for a burglary.
"That was at the time when the
b inks were In trouble, and mer
chants had lots of money stored up."
said Lochard. Here he hesitated and
asked If his statement could be used
against him. He was told to use !,,
own judgment, but that the burglary
at Kosebttrg bad been expiated and
could not be brought against him

' We went down there to rob the

former statement that he had pleaded
guilty, though innocent, to find
shelter. "We bought drills and
powder here. Nelt her of us was a
