BELIEVE MAN GUILTY OF OTHER MURDERS Couple Found Dead in Hume by Sher iff Note Found on Colby's liudy, but Xo Motive for Crime Can Be Discovered "Killing of Woman I Love Takes Nerve," He Writes. HILLSKORO. Ore.. Jan. 20 Charles W. Colby, aRed 07, a resident of thei(cana, led the opposition, 'senator Beuverton section, early Suturdiy morning shot his wife, aed ;J(1, whi'.e she was sleeping and turned the revol ver upon himseit. The bodies were found about midnight Saturday by Sheriff Altxnn;er of this city, who wont to the farm on the Pacific high way in response to a note delivered by the rural mail carrier, asking the sher iff to take charge of the place. Sheriff Alexander found all doors securely fastened, but forced his en trance to the dwelling. Mrs. Colby evidently retired some time before the shootirig and was sleeping soundly whn shot through the head. Colby wa fully dressed, but was lying on the bed beside the woman. The weap on was lying between the bodies. No motive for the deed has been dis covered. The Co!bys were married ten years ago in San Francisco, and the wife had just returned from Portland, where she had been working ftvr some time. Other IMurder.s Claimed. In a letter to- .J. Frank Stroud, of Ueaverton, a life-lo,.g friend, Col by declared he had killed three men, but local officers have been unable to learn anything definite in this regard. It is reported, however, that he was at one time under arrestSm suspicion in connection with u murder charge. ''I have killed three men in my life," the letter to Mr. Stroud says, "but this killing of the woman I love and wor ship above anything else on earth takes the nerve." The letter was dated at 2:15 o'cloe Saturday morning, supposedly a few' ::;mutes before the shots were' fiml. 'the note to Sheriff Alexander was written about Ihe same time, and the envelope bore instructions for the m.i:l carrier to open it and read the con tents. Thinking the request for the sher-1 iff to come and take charge of the place related to some agreement pre viously made, the mail carrier did not hasten the delivery of the message, and it was nearly midnight before of- fieers reached the place. The house dior so that he may wire a message to was in perfect onh-r and there were; his family. free of charge. no signs of a struggle.

HOLSHEV1KS WILL HAVE CHANCE AT POLLS NO Teuton Women Taking Active Part in the Political' Rejuvenation of Discredited Empire. BERLIN, Jan. 20, With the elec tions to the national assembly almost' heru the' Bourgeois party is bending every effort to rally voters in a gi gantic protest against Bolshevism. , Two weeks ago indications pointed to a comfortable majority for tk-n So cuil Democrat TheSpartacaa ylml lition fn Berlin, however, has brought about a revision of the election esti mates, the revised view being strength ened by the results of the local elec tions in Bavaria, Baden, Wurttember.y and elsewhere. It now is considered highly doubtful if the radicals jointly poll more than 45 per cent of the tola I vote, with the chances that it may be a considerably less percentage. The women of Berlin are carrying on an active campaign. They appear to be tuking to their new franchise privilege with a spirit of understand ing. Their votes probably will be rnai in .an overwhelming preponderance in favor of the Socialist nnd Bourgeois Democratic ticket. It is not expected that it will be pos sible to get any definite idea of the result nf the balloting before the mid dle of the week. The former Conservatives are entei ing the contest as the (ierman Na tional party, while the Clericals have been renamed the Christian People's party. The National Liberals are re turning with the label of (ierman Peo ple's party, while the former Progres sives, Nntional Liberals nnd the nnnt Inched Bourgeois Liberals are ra'Ivin.; around the German Democratic p-irty's banner. The Communistic party, which is tV polite nume for the Spartaean Bo!-:he viki, is not officially taking any par in the election. FLU BAD AT v i; r oi t i i-(,vf I.M., M.M Ol I H.oy I. A ;il.Mi:.

STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Jan. 20. A weak section was discovered Sat urday in the first, bill to be passed by the stato legislature in its present session, by which a Bum of $ 100,000 was appropriated for the immediate relief of soldiers and sailors nnd n commission created for the disburse ment of the funds, and as a result the new bill is declared unconstitutional and invalid. It is said that either the amendment of the faulty section or the re-enactment of the bill with the amendment wiil be necessary before the funds can he 'made available for the purpose for which the bill intends them. The FauRy Section. Section 4 of the bill is the weak link in tho chain which was to have upheld the needy soldiers until congress could take some sort of action for their benefit, and reads as follows: .Section 4 That there be and is hereby appropriated out of the moneys in the general fund of the state of Oregon not otherwise appropriated the sum of $100,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, which sum so ap propriated shall be disbursed by said commission for thq purposes above specified. The fund hereby created shall be paid to aid commission on warrants drawn n the state treus tirer by said commission from time to time." ! Added Provision Needed. It is pointed ou that tho bill, be cause of this section, is not only in valid, but unworkable and will neces sitate an amendment, or re-onactment, with an added provision, Iwforo the mcnioy can bo flocurbd from the treas ury. It is shown that tho secretary of state is constitutionally the auditor of stale accounts ami the bill fails to make any provision for auditing of claims by tho secretary ot state, nor does it provide for the creation of any fund. Under the law, the state treasurer is merely the disbursing officer, it was pointed out by Secretary Olcott, and ha such keeps tfack of no funds what soever, j It is necessary for a fund to be es (Conliuued oi pago 2.) ! kk;iit of way kivkn to at i'kopuiation mkasl'kes ( '"ogress to .Make Kffort to (Tear the Calendar of lnitortanl Legis lation by March 4. !
