President Coolldge.

(Aaoclated Press Leutd Wirt.)
WASHINGTON. March 14.
Announcement was made today at
the White House that President
Coolldge will offer Charles H.
Warren of Michigan a recess ap
pointment as Attorney-General if
his nomination for the poat Is not
confirmed by the senate. In such
an event all that the senate could
do would be to suspend payment
for his services.
The following statement was Is
sued by Secretary Sanders on be
half of the president:
"Notwithstanding various re
ports and rumors the president 1s
malting every possible effort to
secure the confirmation of Mr.
Warren. As the .time is very short
and to accommodate the senate he
has consulted certain men and cer
tain aenators, aa to what should
be pursued In case Mr. Warren ia
not confirmed.
"He has decided on no other ap
pointment. He will offer him a re
cesa appointment. He hopes,
- however, that the unbroken place
of three generationa of permitting
the president to choose his own
enhlnet will not nnw tiA rhunsred
and that the opposition to Mr.
Warren on further consideration
will be withdrawn In order that
the country will have the benefit
of his excellent qualltlea and the
president niay be unhampered In
choosing his own method- of exe
cuting the laws."
WASHINGTON. March 14.
President Coolldge asked today
that a second vote nn the nomina
tion of Charles n. Warren, to be i
Attornev-General be deferred un- !
til Monday., His request was
granted.
Some senators said the presi
dent had been convinced the no
mination could not be confirmed
and that he wanted time in which
to make another selection before
the senate adjourned.
There was no Indication, how
ever, that the president would
withdraw the nomination. On the
other hand It was aald he still
was Insistent that a full state
ment on Mr. Warren's qualifica
tions should go into the record
In reply to the charges against
him.
New polls of the senate were
made by leaders on both sides,
but they were said to have shown
no change In the situation, with
an Indicated majority against
confirmation of from three to six.

QUEER ROBBERY
CASE IS BEING
INVESTIGATED
Jack Weaver, Restaurant
Employee, Held on
Vagrancy Charge.
VICTIM WAS DRUGGED
Myrtle Point Logger Doped,
- Assaulted and Robbed
According to Story
Given Sheriff.
Jack Weaver, local restaurant
employee, waa arrested last night
on a vagrancy charge, .and Is be
ing held In the city jail while an
Investigation is being made Into
the alleged robbery of H. W. Long,
a Myrtle Point logger, now report
ed to be in California. Long ap
parently la for some reason averse
to returning to Roseburg to make
out a complaint against Weaver
whom he charges with assault and
robbery, and unless a formal com
plaint la lodged the matter may be
dropped. '
The case haa several "fishy" as
pects, and the officers are endeav
oring to discover Just what really
occurred.
Long, It is stated, came to Rose
burg from Myrtle Point on Thurs
day. He waa reputed to have
about f 1500 on . his person, and
was seen to flash a large roll of
bills.
During the day Thursday he waa
seen in company with Weaver and
another young man of this city, and
that night called Sheriff Starmer
from Granta Pass, stating that he
had Been "stnek -up ' and robbed
on the Oak street bridge, a small
amount of money and a cheap
watch having been taken from
him, according to hla statement.
Sheriff Starmer informed Long
that he would have to return to
Roseburg and swear out a com'
1 plaint against the young men, but
I Long protested that he had Imme-
diate business in California and
could not return, but finally agreed
to come back Friday morning. The
officera waited all day for him to
mnke an appearance but he did
not show up.
Sheriff Starmer traced the call
and fopnd that the man who called
was actually the Myrtle Point
logger. Chief of Police McLaln of
Grants Pass had talked to the man
and had advised him to come back
to Roseburg, but Long Insisted that
It was impossible for him to do so
because of Immediate business In
California. According to Mr. Mo
Lain. Ixing was suffering from a
deep scalp wound, apparently made
by a blow from some blunt instru
ment, a cut on tne face, several
bruises on his handa and a skin
ned leg.
In further investigating the case
Sheriff Starmer learned that
Thursday afternoon Weaver and
L"g rode to Glendale wllh H. D.
Shaw and L. R. Ross, local auto
mobile salesmen.
Weaver approached the two men
as they were preparing to leave
and asked where they were going,
according to Mr. Shaw. When In
formed that they were on the way
to Glendale he asked If there was
twin for two others to go along.
When permission was given he and
Long got Into the car. Long, Shaw
says, did not show at that time any
Indications of havlnr been assault
ed. There was no- blood upon him
and he appeared in a proper frame
of mind, except that he appeared
drugged or doped, and slept prac
tically all the wav to Glendale.
After reaching Glendale the four
Wflnt ,0 clear store where Long
pain ior onnss ior ine crown, ana
then the two salesmen went out
In the country a short distance to
attend to some business.
Upon their return, Bhsw states,
they found Weaver waiting for
them and he asked to return with
them. He told them that Long
had gone on bv train.
Long boarded the train at Olen
dale. Conductor II. E. Allison told
Sheriff Starmer. He appeared to
be under the influence of a drug or
some sort if "done" and was daz-
led. He had a large welt on his
besd where he nari neen struck,
and was rut about the face and
hands. Mr. Allison asked him If
he had been In an automobile acci
dent, and at first he said yes, and
then contradicted himself and said
that he had been "stuck up" at
Roseburg.
He left the train at Grants Pass
and It was then that he called up
Sheriff Starmer.
