OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1912. AMI DIE $0011 AFTER STARTING FRAGMENTS OF AEROPLANE AND CLOTHING OF AVIATORS FOUND WING OF BIG MACHINE RECOVERED Ena1" Thought to Have Bssn Cause of Fatal Plunoe of Kearny and Lawrence In Ocean 1.08 ANGELES, Dec, 17. Frag ments of. hydro-aeroplane and cloth ing, which were washed whore and promptly Identified proved today that Aviator Horace Kearny and hla re porter companion. Cheater Lawrence, met disaster toon after they etarted last Saturday, on their proponed flight over the ocean to San Francisco. The clrcirmstancea eurroundinf their death probably always will re main a secret of the sea. They may hare died within a few hours after they vanished. Saturday afternoon, in the mists of Point Firmln. or they may have clung to their fragile craft 11 through a stormy night and the next day. But. Judging from the posi tion of the wreckage, which gave to day the first definite clew to their fate, they died a short distance from the shore, and In sll probability their bodies now rest in the tangled morass of the kelp beds near Redondo Beach. The wreckage of the hydroaero plane was found at Fisherman s Cove four miles south of Redondo Beach, by Paul Banihaf and two com panions, who conducted an independ ent search. The wreckage consisted of a five foot wing pontoon, which was recovered Sunday floating five miles off Redondo Beach, and a frag ment of a wing tip. Near by the searchers picked up a ahlrt and a , vest. - Charlea Day, who built Kearny's aeroplane, identified the pontoon and the broken wing tip. Glenn Martin, who undertook Sunday the dangerous hydro-aeroplane flight in search of Kearny, declared that the vest was part of the clothing Lawrence wore when he boarded the aeroplane with Kearny for the ill-starred flight FARM YIELD VALUE IS 00,000 WASHINGTON.

Wiping out of convict camps In Ar kansas, coupled with a desire to deal a death blow to the leasing system by which prison inmates are handed over to contractors, U the motive given by Governor Donaghey for par doning 316 state convicts. Donaghey also promised to liberate 44 county convicts tomorrow. "The penitentiary waa not designed for a Sunday school," was the pro testing telegram received by the gov ernor from members of the state leg islature. "No", answered Governor Donaghey "that's true. But let me say that the penitent ary was not designed for a revengeful bull, either." - Three cotvict camps were wiped out clean by ti-.a governor's act and under the arder the forn-er prisoners are restored to full citizenship. "The leaslfig f prison convicts,' said the governor .toiny. is greatly abused. Muy:arriaTe of jiiDice has sent scores of men to t'je penitentiary and convict camps for petty ofenses.

Robert Rodce.-v former attorney general of Ark:ma. i, "o't'erly denoun ced Governor Ijonah;'. The governors t," :A Rodgers. "was the act of either a inaauc or of a man allowing spite and revenge to outweigh the interests of the public. "These pardons turn loose more than one-third of the state's convicts."

In a battle today in the hills at Tomato Spring, 13 miles northeast of Santa Ana, between a young desperado on one aide and more than 100 county officers, militiamen and cltlxons on the other, the desperado, who the night before had attacked a girl, waa killed. Robert Squires, Under Sher iff, met death and three of hla dep uties were seriously wounded. The battle was the climax of an all night pursuit which ended a; dawn on the summit of the rocky hills over looking the waterholes of Tomato Springs. Turning upon his pursuers, the desperado. Intrenched behind nat ural breastworks of rock, opened Ore One of his first bullets struck Squires and the Under Sheriff, fatally wound ed, fell in a gulch almost directly be neath his slayer's aiding place. The officer called for help, but each time an effort waa made to reach him one or more members of his posse fell wounded. It was not until Company L. of the Seventh Regiment, California Nation al Guard, had been summoned and the soldiers, flanking the desperado's position, had riddled his body with bullets, that the body of squirea waa recovered. The officer had then been dead for some time. The desperado appeared last night at the ranch of William Huff In the San Joaquin district and attacked the latters niece. Myrtle Huff. 14 year old. The stuck was made after the man had tied Mlsa Huffs sister, Jes sie, to a fence near the barn. DEAD OUTLAW SON OF SANTA ANA, CaL. Dec. 17. The young desperado who was killed yes terday after slaying one and wound ing three of the posse which battled with him was identned today aa Joe Matlock, Jr., formerly of Eugene, Or. The Identification was made by Dr. L. U Whitson. a dentist, who formerly lived In the Oregon town. Dr. Whitson said that Matlock had been arrested at Eugene three or four years ago for a crime similar to that which he attempted Sunday night, but he left that vicinity after hla re lease on ball. On a torn envelope In the dead marts pocket was written the name "H. L. bowen," and. according to the dentist. Bowen was sheriff at Eu gene when Matlock was arrested. Sheriff Ruddock, of Orange County, found a photograph of Matlock which bad been cut out by the Eugene sher iff at the time of Matlock's departure and it bears strong resemblance to the dead man. Matlock was a son of J. B. Mat lock, a former mayor of Eugene. The three deputies wounded by the desperado were reported as doing well today. .The condition of Will Prater, who was shot through the head, is serious, but according to physicians, he has a good chance for recovery.

The fight within the Democ ratio party for con trol of the Senate under the next ad ministration has taken definite form within the past few days, aa the re mit nf concerted action by a small body of Democrats toward laying the basis for what they term -progressive control , in the next congress. A aeriea of conferences, culminating In a dinner Yesterday, at which nearly a doxen Democrats were present, have resulted in a general unaersianuiog for a reorganltatlon movement de signed to insure the control of legis lation and policies after March 4 by Senators In full sympathy with the views of President-elect Wilson. No detailed program has been out lined, but the campaign is understood to Involve the entire suDject or sen ate control, the direction of affairs by Senators approved by the reorganli ,r nd the establishment of a new system of committee assignments that will distribute Important places alike to men new and oia in me sen ate. Those who have participated in the fpronc thus far are Senators Lea of Tennessee. Smith of Georgia, Smith of South Carolina, Meyers of unniini NVwlands of Nevada. Ash hurst of Arizona.

AFTER SHE IS SHOT PARIS. Dec. 14. Further complica tions have developed in the sensa tional shooting affair of Tbnrsday night, in which Mrs. Barnes, an Amer lean woman, and Walter Mumm, the French spoilsman, were the princi pals. Mrs. Barnes. It now develops was shot twice by Mumm before she shot him. She used her revolvei1 only after Bbe had been badly wounded. Every effort has been tnulo by tbe Mumm family to suppress Information In connection with the scandal. Mrs. fiarnes. It is said, had not left France as waa at first stated, but is in a private hospital, where she Is reported to be In a dangerous con dition, t - ' According to the version given in the newspapers today, Mumm and Mrs. Karnes went out together every where during the last year and Mrs. Barnes believed Mumm was about to marry her. Differences,, however. arose and Mumm declared hla Inten tion of breaking off his acquaintance with her. This was on Thursday night and the tragic shooting scene follow ed immediately afterward. Mumm, In spite of his wounds, was able to leave tbe house without as sistance. Walter Mumm, it appears from the. police commissary's report, attacked the woman during a violent quarrel and kicked her in the face and neck. Whether he fired at her has not as yet been established, but she was so badly injured that four doctors were called by the servants In the bouse and they attended her for an hour after Mumm's departure. Within a short time after the phys icians had left a man called at the flat and with the cook who was the sole witness of the shooting, helped Mrs. liarnes down the servant's stair way into au automobile. Mrs. Karnes, with her cook and the man then drove off and no trace of them has since been found by the po lice who believe she was driven to a sanitarium in Paris or Its environs. Tliey are searching all thane estab lishments systematically. The antecedents of Mrs. Barnes have not yet been definitely establish ed by Police Commlsary Landel, who wag in rharpe of the investigation. She was not registered at the United States Consulate-General and she seemingly had no acquaintance In the American colony here. She descrlb d herself to tradespeople In the vi cinity of Passy, where she lived, as an American, and Mumm's acquain tances who had met ber were told that she was from the United States. 3 DEAD IN AUTO CRASH.

FLVERS OVER SEA T OCEAN SCOURED FOR AVIATORS WHO 8TART ON TRIP TO 8AN FRANCISCO LIFE BELTS MAY SAVE BIRDMEN Horace Kearny and Chester Lawrence Start on Long Journey From Los Angeles In Dense Fog LOS ANGELES, Dec. 13. Aviator Horace Kearny, who left Newport beach at 12:40 o'clock (bis afternoon to fly to San Francisco in a hydro aeroplane, with Chester Lawrence, a newspaperman, as passenger, became lost within less than hour after his departure today. A fleet of motor boats, the only craft available, was started out tonight from Redondo Beach, Santa Monica and Sua Pedro to find them. Both men have life preservers. Friends think tbey are safe unless there has been a mishap to the engine. The flying machine should be able to alight on the waves Instead of plung ing, a wreck, beneath them, they say. Kearny, (lying low, passed Point Firmln, the northern headland of Los Angeles harbor, at 1:15 o'clock thls afternoon, about 45 miles from where tbe start was made. Kearny bad trouble with his motor early in the day and this U'.lay d his departure for several hours, hut up to tbe time he vanished and while passing sever al shore towns, including Long Beach and San Pedro, his engine seemed to be working normally. Ap parently he flew low from choice. A few seconds after clearing Point Firmln the flyer plunged into the baze overspreading the ocean and disap peared. Kearney, at the speed, be was flying, should have reached Ventura, where be was scheduled to stop for gasoline, at about ! o'clock this afternoon. When he failed to appear opposite Point Dume, a few miles north of Santa Monica, the wireless was util ized In an effort to locate him. Radiographs were Hashed to vessels all along the coast. Only one, the Steamer Bear, replied, and her com manding officer said nothing had been seen of the hydroaeroplane. After leaving the ground at New port, Kearny circled In tbe air for five minutes before turning north. He flew low over tbe outer wharf at Long Beach, where officials of the Chamber of Commerce and municipal officers had gathered. Kearny was greeted with shouts as he passed over Venice, Ocean Park, and Santa Monica. By the time he bad climbed to an altitude approximating i000 feet Kearny said be could do tbe dis tance to San Francisco In nine hours, but probably would not attempt It. HEN BRINGS $800.
