Republican regulars assembled In conference from time to time dur ing tbe day with Charles B. Warren of Detroit selected for the chairman ship of the resolutions committee. Mr. Warren said today he had been strengthened In the belief, as a re sult of the conversations he had on the court plank that the Issue could be adjusted In a way that would permit the convention to endorse the court Idea, and at the same time bring the party and the chief execu tive policy Into harmonious accord. Wayne B. Wheeler, general coun sel for the anti-saloon league, told Mr. warren, the organisation he re presented would prefer a straight endorsement' rather than airy plan for strengthening by legislative ac tion the existing Volstead law. Tbe light wine and beer p lank which will be submitted to the reso lutions committee and possibly to the convention by Ralph Beaver Strasaburger, delegate at large from Pennsylvania, was drafted finally to day, j It's language Is as follows: "The republican party stands fori the rigid enforcement ot the law. It believes, however, that the Volstead j act as at present constructed, does I not reflect the will of the majority! of the people and that its more li beral Interpretation to admit lawful sule of light wines and beer is de sirable." Three tentative platform drafts will be laid before the resolutions committee by the advisory commit tee designated to receive recommen dations from varied sources. Five women members of a sub-committee were named today to present the drafts and a mass of petitions and suggestions which It has reviewed. IiOWrE IIOOMKILS ACTIVE. CLEVELAND, June 9. Former Governor Lowden's deflation on his boom for the republioan vlce-presl-demtlal nomination had served today to place the limelight more evenly over the growing Held ot prospects. Some of the former governor's boomers thought he bad removed himself from the race, but others pointed out that similar announce ments had been made In the past by men who later become vice-pre sident and most of them were in clined as they phrased It "to buzs around" for a day or so Watching the political caldron to see whether ana where tbe different senti ment might be crystal 'ling. Much speculation r rl.ered on the effect the Lowden statement might have on the chances of Charles U. Dawee. The Dawes SDoneors stepped a lit tle more briskly, regardless of the warnings about factions, and sup porters of Senator Curtis of Kansas registered Increased activity while delegates who would like to see Sen ator Borah of Idaho on the ticket exprossed encouragement over word from Washington that he might r conalder his statement that he would not accept the nomination. Similar Increase In hope also was shown among the trlends of Secretary Hoover after the arrival from the Forest Crew in South Umpqua District DEAD ABOUT 20 YEARS Boots and Gun Found With Remains Indicate That the Man Had Excellent Equipment. While cutting a trail between Buck head and Five Lakes, on the South umpqua trail, a crew composed of Joe Hutchinson, Walter Lerwlll and Howard Haskell, all of Tiller, dlscov- orea me remains of a man, who ap parently died about 21) or 25 years ago. from indications the man ap parently died of exposure or a audden illness, as the skeleton lay on the hill side, near a spring, with the gun in front, as it would be placed by a per son exhausted or ill trying to find rest. From all Indications the man was the owner of good equipment of which he was quite proud, as much attention had been given his boots and gun. His boots evidently were of a good make, and quite expensive. Thof were well built, about 71 In size, mili tary heel and heavy soles. The hob nails- were of braBs and Iron, alternat ed with three lines around the sole of tho shoe and the Initials M. D. W. In the center. The initials are believed to be those of the owner, and not the make ot tbe shoe, aa the hobnails were evidently put In by the owner of the boots. The bones of the foot were In the shoe. Most of the skeleton was found, but Borne parts bad been carried away. Tbe rifle was a .39 calibre Marlln, 73 model. The owner had made a special brass clasp for the strap by which the gun was carried. The wood or. the stock had rotted away. indicating the skeleton and the gun had been there for many years. An Inquiry has been made in the Tiller vicinity but no one seems to remember any person who went into the hills twenty years ago and failed to return. An effort to identify the body through the articles found on the remains will probably be nude. Joe Uutchinson. one of the party finding the skeleton, has the articles in his care. o- OLD TIME IDEALS FEDERAL FUNDS T NEED EOR ROAD IRK Speakers at Wilbur Reunion Recognize Laxity In Child Training CHARACTER IS FIRST Umpqua Academy Associa tion Listens to Interesting Program and Has a Good Time, With an attendance comnrlsed nf several hundred of its alumni, their relatives, menus and pruaent-day pu pils, the Umpqua- Academy associa tion held Its eighth annual reunion at Wilbur last Saturday, featured by an interesting program of aueech making and vocal music.

Government Will Complete Rock Creek-Boundary Road and Continue Work Toward Big Camas. Carl B. Neal, supervisor ot the Umpqua National forest, announced this morning that he has been au thorized by the bureau ot public- roads to offer the county a coopera tive agreement whereby the govern ment will spend $50,000 on the North Umpqua section ot the Umpqua high way, if Douglas county will appropri ate $10,000 on a 25 per cent basis as previously agreed upon. Of the gov ernment's $50,000. approximately $20, 000 will be used to- complete the Rock Creek-Uoundary section, and the re maining $30,000 with the county's $10,000 will be used east of Boundary. 1 lila la a part of the agreement roaohed between the county and the forest service two years ago. Under the terms of that agreement, the gov ernment asked for 50-60 cooperation between Rock Creek and the forest boundary, and 25-75 cooperation be tween Boundry and Big Camas. From Big Camas to Diamond Lake uie gov ernment builds the roads alone. The cost of the Rock Creek-Boundary road was estimated at $35,000, and the government and county each put up $17,000, the government contract ing to complete the road to Boundary tor that sura. The amount appropri ated was . not sufficient, and only uoout six miles or the nine mile sen Hon was finished. The government, however, will live up to Its agreement, It to Canada.

The notes were made, It waa re vealed, when Mr. Crowe directed that the confession of each youth be read to the other, and each ob jected, to certain Incriminations or Inaccurate statements. Loeb'i notei, eight In number, ai given out by Mr. Crowe were: (1) Tupe wrapped at Jackson park. (2) Time about two months. (3) Idea of train Leopold's; acid also.
