LITTLE LEARNED
ABOUT TRAGEDY
THOMAS CIMMIXGS IS SAID TO
HAVE PROMISED TO MAURY
jrV'RTLE WHITE GIKL'S Ff.
XEftAL WAS HELD AT SALEM
TODAY.
CARTRIDGES LOCATED IN HOTEL
Officers Question Lillian Knight
linger lint Little is Lenrnel Ile
garding the Details of the
Double Tragedy,
Although the Salem officers have
eexerted every effort in hope of as
certaining the cause of the shooting
of Thomas Cummings there Tuesday
afternoon, their work has been in
vain. Cummings was employed ai
night clerk at the Marion Hotel and
was well known to a number of
Hoseburg people.
The Oregonian this morning had
the following to say regarding the
investigation by the officers:
Developments today in the double
tragedy of yesterday, in which Myr
tle White, young Portland girl, shot
and killed Thomas W. Cummings,
night clerk of the Marion Hotel, at
the hotel in this city, show that the
bullet which went wild from Miss
White's gun passed through the wall
ot tne room into the bathroom,
where Lillian Knightlinger had gone
from the bedroom, passed through
Miss Knightlinger's hair and lodged
in the wall of the bathroom.
For this reason, It is said, Miss
Knightlinger may have been so
frightened she offered no attempt to
take the gun away from Miss White
before the girl committed suicide.
But little arose today to change
any of the facts first fathered in ref
- erence to the circumstances sur
rounding the double killing.
Miss Knightlinger, after cross
examination by District Attorney
llingo and Police Matron Shank,
varied her statements in no wise. She
added, however, that Miss White,
the morning that they retired in the
"room at the Marion Hotel, had care
fully arranged five cartridges around
a small clock on the dresser in the
room. On a comment from Miss
Knightlinger, Miss White passed
some remark as to "needing" them.
From this and other details of (he
shooting, the police beiieve that (he
girl planned the shooting before
coming to Salem.
The body of Mr. Cummings will be
removed tomorrow to Halsey, Ore.,
where the funeral and burial will
take place. The funeral of Miss Myr
tle White will be held tomorrow
morning at 10:30 o'clock from t he
undertaking parlors in this city.
SHOUTEST DAY OV YE Alt.
Today is the year's shortest day
light period, as the sun is at the end
of its southward journey and it will
begin to Bwing backward toward the
northern latitudes tomorrow. Or at
any rate it will seem to, although of
course the earth and not the sun
tloes the changing of position (hat
marks the seasons. There will be
practically nine hours and three min
utes of daylight today, and from this
time on the days will lengthen grad
ually until in June the longest day
will have been attained. For a few
weeks, however, the added daylight
will be so slight as hardly to be
noticed at nil.
GIULS UIXKIVU CASH.
The girls employed at the local
telephone exchange will have for
Christmas a present of added salary
from the Pacific Telephone and Tele
graph Company. All of the employes
of the company will receive a bonus.
Those in the service for three months
to one year will be given two weeks
salary, and those employed more
than one year will get three weeks'
salary.

SHORT TEKM Kill FARMERS
AT O. A. O. IN JANl'AHY.
CORVALLIS, Ore., Dec. 16. Gas
tractors that "balk"' in the middle of
the day "way down yonder In the
corn field," and gasoline engines
that stop when half done separating
the evening milk, have no terrors for
the man who is trained to meet such
problems. If the ignition system Is
out of order probably it is only a
wire connection loose or a battery or
a dirty spark plug. It may be that
the top has been left off of the gaso
line tank and water bas got Into the
carburetor. These and many other
minor points are the causes of the
majority of lost time, for it Is these
short stops that total up Into hours
at the end of the week.
How many times bas ibe average
operator of a gas engine cranked
until he was tired out. aud disgusted,
even with the men that invented gas
engines, only to look into the gaso
line tank and find it empty?
The problem to the average man
throughout tbe state is how to get
this training without going through
the "old school of experience," and
now just as tractors and engines are
becoming of such general use, there
routes the opportunity. During the
week of Jan. 8 to 14, as a part of tbe
vnnual Farmers' Short Course at the
Oregon Agricultural College, the
farmers will have a chance to meet
with the actual problems and under
die supervision of trained men, learn
how to combat them.
