ROSEBURG. NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG. OREGON. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 21. 1936. FIVE ON PENSION FUNDS SALEM, Full. 20. CAP) Elmer R. Couily, 'mala relief administra tor, today placed before Attorney General I. H. Van Winkle a ten tative plan for obtaining federal match funds for old ace pensions. Neither Goudy nor Van Winkle tvould divulge the details of the proposal here. Van Winkle was requested to study the tentative plan with a view of eliminating objectionable features. Then the plan would be - advised to conform to legal require ments after wblch.lt would be pre sented to Governor Martin. The attorney general stated the plan was quite involved and it would require several weeks of study. ' Until a definite plan worked out. It was indicated all other moves to obtain federal funds, even to the possibility of calling a special session of the leg islature, would be held in abey ance by the administration. The law under which federal funds would be requested would be the one enacted by tho regular 11135 leKiHlatlve session. This law prior to the amendments made by the special BesBiou, provided for an appropriation of 11,000,000 to . be matched by county appropriations. Goudy declared no attention would be given tho recent amend ments whereby the state appropria tion would be turned over to direct relief, since a referendum on that action delays Its operutivoness. The governor recently expressed himself favorable to any workable plan promulgated by Goudy and the state relief committee which would make it possible to obluin federal funds for old age pensions.

(AP) The Oregon capttol construction commission was urged today by the public works administration to "get going" on plans for Oregon's new statehouse. C. C. Hockley, PWA administra tor for Oregon, said "Washington, D. C, is' disappointed because we have not started. They are press ing us for a definite date." Members of the commission re plied that everything that could be done has been done to expedite plans for the structure. They said they would try to give to Hockley, late today or tomorrow, a sched ule of definite dates, showing when t he plan contest could be started, when completed, and when con tracts might be let. Hockley said he had gained the impression that the cupltol contest was to start February 1, whereas it has not yet got under way. Carl F. Gould, commission architect, said he may have conveyed that mpression inadvertently. Gould said it would take two and a half months to complete the contest. Hockley said he believed six weeks should be enough. Wait till you see how easy our Family's Whiskey slithers down your throat!

CHAPTER XXII Although I was very brave and firm when I made my dramatic ex it from Allen's room, 1 vaa not nearly so sure of myself, or him. at heart. The more 1 tnougnv about Allen's story as the hours of the night slid by, the more 1 saw its weak points. If I saw them, I reasoned, what wouldn't Inspector O'Brien do to It? By morning I had convinced my self thut a case as good as that against any of the suspects could be built tagaiust my brother. In spite of his impracticallty, of Ms "peculiarity," he evidently was convinced of the same conclusion, thus deciding not to reveal his part in that night's events. He had acted madly just I suppose as a "neurotic." as dad called him. could be expected to act. Yet it all looked pretty suspicious on the surface of it. He admitted that he was Jealous of Bruce, that he had been squelch ed bv Connie the day before for his "presumptuousness" (1 could hear her pronounce the word now, It was a favorite of hers in quell ing disorder), and that he brood ed over the whole thing all night and all day. That would be enough motive for the police, I now knew. As for Hyms. story, it wouia have been fairly simple for Allen to have arrived immediately after Mr. Perkins left, to have shot Con nie, then to have hidden in the apartment during Hym's brief visit. This space of time might have given him the opportunity to realize what he had done, to exper ience tromendous remorse, to have taken the pen on Just the senti ment basis he had expressed to me, and to have lieu the town iu stark terror. After that, the story of his return would not need much ! new interpretation. When I went down for breakfast, I was wearily telling myself I had constructed an excellent case lor the police. Should I tell what 1 knew? Should I expose my broth er? Allen was at the table when I arrived. He glared at me over mother's coffee-pot, but the folks were too -much interested in the newspaper to notice. Mrs. Carring ton was the headline that morning. "INJURED WIFE COLLAPSES," it shouted. i ' . "Mrs. Carrington, I gather," com-i mented my father, "is injured be cause of her husband's being in volved with Miss Sinclulr, and she has collapsed because of rigid cross-examination by the police. 1 had not considered the ques tioning I overheard very rigid, but no doubt they had her in again when I was not there, tor the pa ers tilaved un tho possibility ol her having followed her husbaiuj St, Joseph the sunuay Dei ore Connie was murdered. "It is strange that this newsboy wasn't found until now," said mother. "Not at all; few people like to volunteer information on such cases," answered dad. I looked at Allen, but he did not meet my gaze. The St. Joseph Courier had scor ed a scoop an exclusive story- ty unearthing a newsboy who bad witnessed the "scene" referred to in Connie's letter. This was spot lighted for all the sensationalism in it. Carrington had parked his car on a side street around the corner from Connie's apartment about nine or nine-thirty that Sunday evening. He and Connie were re turning from a drive somewhere presumably to a neighboring town lor dinner. While sitting In the car, he had tried to persuade her that he cared more for her thar for just a friend. The newspaper did not say this nor did it ad vance the supposition that he tried to convince her that they should seek some way to be mar ried. I think that was Ihe reason for the scene, though, and I don't care what others say. The Courier emphasized only the newsboy's version of the love- making he described. Any dctutis he might have forgotten were re-, called by the energetic reporter who questioned him. It wub all messy, I'd say. Mother sniffod and thrust the paper under the coffee-pot, hoping I wouldn't see it all. Of course got the story at school, hashed over a number of times. Helen was triumphant, for her theory had a good chance of work ing out to lie the right one. "Didn't I tell you?" she gloated "Now don t you think Mrs. Ca rington might be guilty? Do you most hope you are. I'm getting fed up on this case. I wish theyd make up their minds who did it and end the thing." Well, I think it's been pretty exciting," Patsy thrilled as she started her second sundae. "Who ever dreamed there were such ro mantic characters in dull old St. Joseph V "It may be romantic to you, but I think it Is too grimly realistic," I answered. I was too weary to be excited over even a new crea tion of the shop a combination of split bananas, pecans and fresh strawberries, in November, tool I dipped a spoon into It half-heartedly. "You wouldn't think it so ro mantic If you cared much about Connie. If you gave any realiza tion to the faat that she's buried, her life all ended, and an ugly bullet wound in her chest. H wouldn't be bo romantic if you knew these people and all their ugly emotions. They're afraid, all of them, of having cared for that poor woman. They are trying to hedge, each of them, to make their relations with her as casual and unimportant as possible. - I think they're all welchers!" "Well, gee, Julie, you can't ex pect them (o be exactly thrilled to be connected with a murder victim!" "It wasn't Connie's fault some one fired a guu at her, was it Helen was cooler than Patsy and I. "It might have been," she said. "After all, we don't know why she was killed until we find out who did it. If you ever read these murder reports and stories, you usually find that the victim did something to cause it; it's not always the murderer's ugly emo tion alone"' 1 regarded Helen with more re spect. She did think sometimes and 1 wouldn't be surprised If she was expressing an underlying theory of the police when they go probing into what looks like peo ple's prlvute business. I was still cross, however. All right," I half-growled, get ting up from the lunch .table, "but still say it is gruesome to think that any one of these persons we know Mr. Perkins, Melvin, Bruce Lloyd, or either one of the others Hym or Mrs. Carrington could have raised a revolver and killed our own French teacher," and l added to myself, "or my very own brother!" The girls were more subdued. I guess some of my disgust and quiet penetrated, for the discus sion practically ceased. On the way home that afternoon in Dicky's car, 1 relaxed against the cracked leather until a bump bounced me over where a spring came through. I had just settled myself again on a piece o fairly smooth cushion when Dicky sud denly grubbed the emergency brake and put his foot on the re verse gear of his model-T Ford. We stopped with our usual hop backward. "What Is It?" "Late extra. Let's see what it Is." He got out two pennies and I found one. So we bought the pa per. On the front page was Mrs. Carriugton's picture ami beside it was a story that I knew would warm Helen's heart. A conductor had now been found who believed that he could identify Mrs. Car- rington as a woman who came to St. Joseph that Suuduy night, Oc tober 16, on the eight forty-five train. him?" was my next one. "1 don't know, Curly. ask. "Didn't you ask how he got to Los Angeles?" No, mother, I don't believe such questions would have been quite appropriate over the telephone." "No-o-o, I suppose not. But "But you'd like to know the an swers! Well, so would I; perhaps we shall by tomorrow. Do you think the police will be so so " "Antagonistic?" I nodded. "Yes, antagonistic. Don't you think I hey will give him credit for returning wheu they had lost him?" My father shook his head. "Ho evaded the law, he broke his word. It he returns now, the first step will be to investigate his motives, both for the flight and for the return." 'Gee, I shouldn't think he would have returned if he were guilty when he had already got away." What goes on in men's minds is hard to define. His guilt or inno cence are still open questions.' It was stilt an open question. too, as to what course Allen was going to take. He and I avoided each other as much as possible. meeting only at meals. I looked at him mlseruhly, questiouingly, oxpectautly, each time he entered the room. It inust have driven him crazy, for he watched my every move, started every time I spoke to dad, regarded me with a combination of fear and anger, y baturday night, I was a ner vous wreck, and no kidding. I be gan to wonder if I would ever sleep again. I closed my eyes' about two hours that night. By Sunday morning, 1 was 111, and unable to go to church even. Mother was awfully worried of course. She came to gpp me at once when didn't go dowu for breakfast. "Is my Curly-head sleepy this morning?" "No, mother, just tired." "Well, you can stay in bed a while, sweetheart, and go to late maBs."
