From 10.30 o'clock Halurday morn,

lib the eiMptlon of tlino taken for

llllll til (I rtMll IIMHll (IlK'tlMI ( by
a crowd In tho rlrrult court room
which Included practically every onej
of the (0 road supervisor In the conn- j
ly and many other. Kvery part of
(iarkamaa ruiinty wa rrpieaeiiled.
The rounty rourt relied the session j
for the consideration of rwdlvtdlng the .
n.unly Into road district. A map,
ahoaing proposed dlvlalon of 111
county Into 1 district at suggested
ly County Judge Anderson, held
prominent plco In the front of th
court room.
Although tha meeting wa railed to
consider new illatrlc t boundaries, gen
oral road subject! were 1T far the
moil discussed. In fart, many of the
speaker did not touch on the tub
Jeet of tha meeting while aeveral su
pervisor took time to defend their
owi acta or criticise othera.
Dacldad Chang Not Probabla.
From what dlartiaalnn there waa of
radical reduction of the number of
dUtrlrta. Judge Anderson aadl ha wt
convinced majority of Ihoaa at the
meeting oppoaed the plan. He aald
that he fU majority wonld not ap
prove decided reduction, while the
number of dlatrlcta nilttht tie reduced
allnhlly.
CommlaMilner Knlght'sald at the
cloae of the meeting that the court
would probably change the boundaries
of dlatrlct I! to that It would touch
railroad. At the present time dlatrlct
21 haa on of the lanteit futida, yet
la dependent upon another and com
paratlvely poor dlatrlct to reach
railroad. Other changes are alao
considered probable, hut U la not like
ly that the complete plan of the eoun
ty JudKe will be followed out
Judge Andtrton Explain View.
Cnuntv Jutlce Anderaon waa the
first to apeak, explalnlnit the purpose
of tho meeting and the reason why
he thoiiKht a reduction In the number
of road dlatrlcta necessary. Ho aald
that the map he had prepared waa
onlv tentative and that In case the
number of district ahoulil bo decided
lv reduced, many changes wonld prob.
ably he made. Th new atnte law
nrovldea 70 per cent of the general
county road lux mum go Into tho dla
trlct fund, n fact which would great
lv crlnnle the general county road
fund and prevent much of tho flnnn
rial help the county hud been able, to
tlvn the districts III former years. He
iiIho allowed how. under Ih" preacul
dlvlalon of the county Into dlatrlcta,
tlmt many of tho dlatrlcta with the
largest aaaeaaed vulimllon, wna not
touched by n railroad and waa depend
ent upon other dlatrlcta for a road to
inurket. He aiild that he favored the
forniutUm of dlatrlcta with the trend
of travel tnken Into collaboration.
Commissioner Mnttoon reminded
the crowd of taxpayers of tho diffi
culty of the road problem und the
need of care In handling public fund.
H. E. Crott Haa Plan.
Ilnrvov K. Croaa made a numhor of
tuKReatlona which met with tho np-
provnl of do.onB who attended tnc
meeting. Ho declared that the court
should name n roudmaaler who would
have authority over nil tho roud auper
vlaora In tha county. Money rnlaod
by the general county read tux should
be apent under IiIb authority on trunk
hlghwiiyH, and aide roada should be
kept In repair- with apecltil dlatrlct
tnxea. Ho urged ChnrloB Counaoll. of
Mllwankle, as the Joglcnt mini to fill

Mr. Croaa oppoaed a wholeanlo re
duction in the number of roud dla
tilctR, doclurlng thnt with much larg
er cllstrlcta, special luxca would not
be levied as the neighborhood spirit
would bo lout.
The county court did not tnko flnnl
action on any chango In tho bound
aries of the districts, but will take up
the matter aguln early In the week.
A new atatute provides that all

Taylor wore tha aamt roiifldenl
smile he haa worn for the last three
days, when he left the courthouse apd
look the i o'clock rar for Cortland.
"I want to ask you to keep out of this
county," aald 8 her Iff Wilson.
"I will." Taylor replied. "You have
j treated me smiare and I appreciate
It."
"And I want you to tell your frleuda
to ateer clear of Clackamas county,'
Wilson Insisted,
"I'll do that," waa Taylora reply.
The sheriff Invited Taylor to visit
hlra whenever the Utter waa In Ore
gon City.
Taylor admitted to 8herlff Wilson
before ha left town that the burclar's
tools were hit own property.
The esse against Taylor waa great
tly weakened Saturday when the con
doctors on the throe car which were
held up failed to Identify him. Each
of the threw declared that Taylor ap
peared taller than the highwaymen
who robhod them. District Attorney
Hedges did not believe that a charge
of state vagrancy could be made to
ttick.
Special Agent McShane, of the
Southern Pacific, and Special Agent
Mills, of the Portland Railway. Light
ft Power company, were In Oregon
City Monday and had a talk with Tay
lor. McShane accused him nf steal
ing speeder from his company, and
Taylor denied the atatement of the de
tective.
"Whenever I use a speeder on one
of my Jobs, I always rot urn It," he
talif. "I have never dumped one ol
your speeder In a creek yet."
Taylor reviewed the event of Fri
day afternoon, the day he was ar
rested. Several men from Mllwaukle
district attempted to capture him, he
fore the arrival of Sheriff Wilson and
the railroad men but were unsuccess
ful. "I could have got away eaBlly,"
he said, "If it hadn't been for the sher

me Friday afternoon couldn't catch
cripple. One of them was within a
few foot of me at one time and failed
to seo me. He Just stood there ami
looked into the brush where I was,
but he couldn't find mo. I don't know
what waa the matter with him."
During his short stay In Jail. Tay
lor learned to respect Sheriff Wilson
and gave the official a pearl handled
knife before his departure from the
courthouse. He said a number or
times that the sheriff waa "Bquare."
Ho had respect for the Portland po

A. L LONG TELLS HOW
HE KILLED HOOKER
FALSE MOVE RESULTS IN 8H0T
FROM PATROLMAN'S GUN
WHICH ENDS CAREER.
PORTLAND. Ore., Sept. 29. Pa
trolman A. L lxng, of the Portland
j police force, who fired the shot w hich
ended the career of Hooker at Albany
late last night, said this morning:
"Deputy Sheriff Chrittofferaon stood
leaning over Hooker at the moment
and 1 was standing straauie 01 ma
head a be lay under the floor of the
house where we iuu4 him.'
"Hooker had been told to come out
hand first. He rsme part way. en
ough to show his head and shoulders
when he suddenly turned over and
made a move with bla left hand aa
though to reach for hi revolver under
the floor.
"Not knowing whether he had the
gun where he could reach it or not, 1
fired. The bullet hit and came out
over the right shoulder blade, drop
ping to the ground below. We hand'
cuffed hlin and dragged him and L.
D. Moore and .John Talent prison
guard.
It waa 11:30 o'clock when they ar
rived at the Meianer home, juat 21
hours after Hooker had killed Mlnto.
Placing themselves at points of
cantage about the house, the officers
with gims ready, pushed edvelop-
ments.
"Come out of there," was com
manded. "
"I'm the man you want," aadl Hook
er. "Throw up your hand."
"I've got them up aa high us I ca:i
get them."
Hooker was aparently doing hiB best
to get himaelf out of hla close quar
ters, but he made a false move.
Ixuik's rifle cracked,and the convlst
fel' with a gaping hole in his right
breast.
Dr. it. R. Walluce attended Hooker,
and local officers deny thnt some
membera of the capturing party want
ed to send the convict to Salem with
out attention.
Hooker was taken to St. . Mary s
hospital. Ho lived two hours. The
bullet had penetrated his lung and
emerged through the shoulder.

MANY PROBLfHS ARC SOLYID TO
M CONVERSATION POSSIBU
"The Probltm of Trans-Atlantic Com
munlcatlon Hat Btn Solvtd,"
First Words Shorter Dis
tance Covered Before.
N:W YORK, Sept. 2J WlreVss
transcontinental teVphony ceased to
be a dream and became a reality at 10 ,
o'clock tbla morning. At that hour!
Theodore N. Vail, president of tbe Am-'
erlran Telephone Telegraph com
pany spoke a few sentences to John
J. Carty, chief engineer. Vail waa
In New York and Carty was at Mare
Island. 'The'- sound traveled 30oo
miles without a wire to carry It.
Tbe achievement worked the solu
tion of nearly every problem In
volved with tbt future development
of telephony. Again Vail had ordered
Carty to accomplish the impossible,
and again bit order bad been carried
out
Tbe achievement I fraught with
meaning. It meant that the problem
ol talking across the Atlantic ocean
baa been solved; It mean that meu
in New York can talk to llonolula ei d
Tokio, a soon as tbe construction be
been completed. The voice cau be
carried by wire to San Francisco over
the New Transcontinental wire and
from here hurled through air over the
ocean to Tokeo. It can be carried In
relay around the world.
The announcement of today' J
achievement bring It near when It will
be as easy to talk from Sau Francisco
to London, and Paris, at It I today to
talk over the transcontinental wire
I from Ban Francisco to New York. Fur
thermore It iua that passenger on
ship at sea wUl be able to call cen
tral and talk to shore and if these
achievement were not enough anoth
er baffling problem was olved. A
perfect connection waa made between
teleuhone wire and wlrlesa ether
line making It possible for everybody
with a regular telephone to be con
nected through the air.
Tbe success of Trans-Atlantic and
Trans-Pacific . telephony depended
largely on the success of the attempt
to span the continent with an ether
line and the achievement of Wire
less transcontinental te'epbony mean
that the telephone will bridgo the At
lauttc as soon a condition in Europe
are normal. It la a vastly more diffi
cult task according to Chief Engineer
Carty to cross land with it everchang-
lng topography than to cross an equal
ly great or greater expanse of level
water.
When Chief Engineer Carty first
heard President Vail'a voice this
morning his first commeut was "The
problem of trans-Atlantic communi
cation by telephone has been so'ved,"
and those gathered around predicted
that it would not be long before the
wireless telephone would Join all the
continents Just as wire today Join ev
ery corner of America. Unknown to
the public the American Telephone
Telegraph company long ago estab
lished communication between Wash
ington and tho Isthumus of Panama
by wireless telephony.
The achievement today was only a
further development of the earlier
success. The announcement of the
success in ta'klng from Washington
to the Iathmns was withheld until a
greater goal had been reached
T

Counter-Stroke I Mad in Argonne
and Berlin Official Report Say
Some Ground Ha Been Re
gained From British.
, lNPON, Sept. 19, The allle
great offensive in Artols and the
Champagne Is still being perserved in.
and, according to French accounts
which, however, are contradicted by
, the German official report, further
progress has been made In both areas.
Tbe Gennaus are trying to divert
tbe allies by a heavy artillery bom
bardment north and south of the
Aisne, but, plans having been made by
General Joffre, the French are strik
ing with all the forces at their com
mand at the point selected.
It is reported that the German em
peror has arrived at the western front
and that he haa already dismissed
some of hi generals foV allowing
their lines to be pressed back to al
most the breaking point
So tar as Champagne is concerned,
the French appear at present to be
making their chief effort toward the
railroad Junction north of Massigeh,
which accounts for the desperate ef
forts of the Germans to stem the title
and Crown Prince's counter stroke In
the Afgonne, as this railway connects
the German army In the Argonne with
its base at Vouziers.
Perhaps the heaviest fighting since
the offensive began now Is going on.
for the Uritish are attacking the Ger
man third line of defense south of La
Passe Canal, and the Germans have
brought up reinforcement agulnst
both the Uritish and'the French and
are making every effort to retrieve
the lost ground, nelgium, dispatches
from Holland say,- has been denuded
of troops, while German detachments
are even being removed from the east
ern front to meet what Is now known
to be the greatest effort made In the
west since the armies took up their
present position from. Melgium to
Switzerland.
