KLAETSGH CONVICTED
OF FIRING PROPERTY
Sensational charge presented by
the atate, resulted In the conviction
of Otto Klaetach, of Eitacada. on a
charge of malicious burning of prop
erty, before Judge Slevers Thursday
afternoon.
Kia inch, an American born Ger
man, Is to b sentenced thla morning
at 10 o'clock.
Klaetsch'a arreat followed a dls
astro.it fire, or rather a series of Area
set on the ranch of Robert McMCUn
tock. a disabled Spanish-American
war veteran, who. It was brought out
In the testimony, had ratiorted Klaet
scb as a disloyal citizen to federal
authoritlea aome time ago. McClln
tock testified that he caught Klaetach
red handed In the act of setting two
of the fires about 1 o'clock laat Sun
day In the canyon on hla place, and
that at the aame time four other Ares
which had been set but a short time
were raging furiously upon McClln
lock's place.
Returning to hla cabin McCllntock
cured a rlflo and fired several ahots
at Klaetsch. who finally admitted at
th trial that he hud been fired upon
by McCllntock. who returned up the
canyon with F. .1 and V. Lincumbnch,
close neighbors. Klaetsch claimed to
bo in the vicinity of tho fires only to
look after some fencos on his own
lands and denied having set the blaz-
es. He was aeon to enter the canyon,
witnesses teatlfled. ahortly before the
fires broke out He finally admitted
that he was shot at several times by
McCllntock.
Hy reason of the flreB McCllntock
has lost his entire winter's work, con
slstlng of severnl hundred dollars
worth of cordwood. and valuable tint
ber holdings that he was planning to
cut next fall. In addition hla crops
are ruined and as ho expressed It he
Is "entirely cleaned out."
That some Interesting develop
ments may follow the c a a c
was Indicated by the fact that Klaet
sch'a testimony was taken down In
shorthand, but Just what further ac
tion, If any, is planned, was not made
known by the district attorney's of
fice following the trial.
Klaetsch admitted to Conatable
Frost following his arrest, that Mc
Cllntock fired nt him, and stated he
supposed McCllntock blamed him for
the Urea. Klaetsch burnod over hla
own place several weeks ago, and
witnesses testified there was no Are
in the vicinity of the canyon for sev
eral days proceeding Sunday, and that
there were no Area Sunday until they
suddenly began to Bpread simultan
eously In the wake of Klaetsch's
Journey up the canyon.
McCllntock testified that ho called
to Klaetsch when he discovered whnt
ho was doing, and that he Immediate
ly ran away. Then it was that Mc
Cllntock returned for his gun and
summoned his noigttuora.

RAILROAD
EMPL
TO RECEIVE
HIGHER PAY
WASHINGTON, May 8 All rail
road employes whose monthly pay in
December. 1915, waa less than $250 a
month have been recommended for
wage Increases by the railroad wage
commission.
The recommendations, If adopted by
Director-General McAdoo, would give
the workers $100,000,000 In back pay
to January 1 and would add $288,012,
718 to the payrolls as of 117, a net
Increase of 15.021 per cent.
Wage advances proposed, however,
do not represent net Increases ovbt
existing pay, but are based on the
month of December. 1917. In other
words, any increaaa which may have
been allowed by Individual roads since
that time must be deducted.
Hat Increases of $20 a month are
proposed for all employes except ap
prentices receiving $46 or less, and all
others up to $239 woulb get udvances
ranging from 43 percent downward to
4.6 per cent, ths smallest increases
going to those with the highest wages.
Above $239, flat increases would be
given to make the wage $250. Appren
tices from 18 to 21 years old would re
ceive only three-fourths of the recom
mended increases, and those below 18
years one half.

The announcement means that plans
will go forward rapidly for outfitting
the company, and before long it is
planned to have the uniforms and

NIGHT WORK IS
COMMENCED TO
AID ROAD WORK
SALEM, Or., May 7. (Special)
A night shift has been placed at
work at the crusher on the New Era
road In Clackamas county, was the
announcement made today from the
State Highway Commission's office
here and every effort will be made to
speed up on the Job. A stretch of
eight miles of pavement is to be laid
by the Oregon Hassam Paving Com
pany on this work, and It was stated
by commission employes that the
completion of this work will mean a
good summer's Job and not many de
lays can be allowed.
The work of putting down rock base
and rolling it is also progressing. For
several months rock has been scatter
ed along the highway at this point,
but now the actual business of get
ting down to construction is under
way.
I It is expected that paving can start
i soon, although this will depend some
what upon the weather outlook. As
soon as indications point to a per
manent settling of the weather the
work will be rushed through on the
paving part, it is stated.
The paving company does not con
template making any great sum of
money off from the work, in fact en
gineers say that if the contractor
breaks even he will be lucky, as any
difficulty like bad weather after pav
ing work is actually under way might
mean a considerable dead loss to him.
This is considered one of the reas
ons why the paving Itself will not be
under way until weather conditions
meet tha approval of the contractor.
By putting on the double shift at the
crusher, however, material will be on
hand to force the work when the op
portunity arises.

TO WHITt HEAT
LONDON, May 8 -As the result of
the Cabinet's decision to withdraw its
offer to appoint two Judges to inquire
Into the charges made by Major-General
F. B. Maurice, former chief dirje
tor of military operations at the War
Office, in which th veracity of Min
isters of tha government was Impugn
ed and the determination of the Cab
inet not to accept an inquiry by a
select committee as suggested in the
motion made by former Premier As
qjlth, tomorrow's debate In the House
of Commons will probably range over
all the old charges against the gov
ernment in its relations with the
army.
What will follow from the debata
is still obscure. If Mr. Asquith presses
his motion to a division the decision
will depend largely upon the action
of the older conservatives, who, while
anxious to give the government a
knock, do not wish to bring about a
general election during the war and
prefer the coalition government to the
radical one which might result if the
Cabinet were defeated and forced to
resign.
The absence of the Irish National
Ists also will help the government, for,
in addition to their dissatisfaction
with tb.3 government's Irish policy,
there are among them several severe
critics of the war cabinet's relations
with the army.

WASHINGTON, May 3. The senate
today formerly recorded Itself In fav

It insisted on the wheat clause in the

LIFE WHEN
When this is found I shall be dead
by my own hands and I swear that my
mind is clear and sound.''
In this gruesome manner begins the
last will and testament of John Jor
gensen, well known county fanner,
whose lifeless body was found
Wednesday In bed at Ills home five
miles south of Oregon City on the
Molalla road. Every Indication points
to a deliberately planned suicide by
poisoning, and a post-mortem to be
held Thursday it is thought will re
veal the exact cause of tho death.
The will was found Wednesday af
ternoon in a pocket of the deceased,
and the entire estate, estimated from
$7,000 to $10,000 is left to Jorgens n a
old "pardner." Nets Askjar, with
whom he has farmed for nearly IS
years. Both men are old bachelors
about 40 years of age.
The will was in an envelope asV
! dressed to Attorney O. D. Eby of Ore
gon City.
Jorgensen was hut seen Saturday
evening. It is thought that the act
was committed Sunday and no cause
could be advanced for the deed. The
letter was "evidently written deliber
ately and calmly, and the writing waa
recognized at once by Deputy Clerk
Fred Miller, who only last week Hied
Jorgensen's application to become a
cltizsn of the United States. The de
ceased was a subject of Denmark.
One possible theory was advanced
by neighbors. Jorgensen and Askjar
have been "pards" for twelve years
on the same farm, most of the time.
They have been clese friends and as
far aa known neither had any other
relatives in this country. Within the
past two weeks Askjar disposed of
his interest in the farm to Jorgensen
and went to work in Portland. The
possible theory is that Jorgensen,
morbid through lonllness, may have
committed the deed. The two men
were the best of friends and were
more like brothers than business as
sociates. The body was fully dressed, and
lying on the bed. An inquest and post
mortem was decided upon by Coroner
Johnson. Although every inch of the
premises was searched the officials
could find no poison of any kind. The
condition of the body, however, strong
ly indicated death by poison.
The letter was headed "My Last
Will and Testament ' and reads as
follows:
"When this is found I shall be dead
by my own hands and I swear that ray
mind is clear and sound.
"f wish to leave to Nsls Askjar, my
and personal property located in
Clackamas County, Oregon. Also the
money from the logs sold to J. R.
Hoff and when he gets done logging
also 11 days' wages at $3.50 per day,
when the funeral expenses are paid.
I also give him a $50.00 Liberty Bond
and all money to my credit In the
Bank of Oregon City.
"(Signed) JOHN JORGENSEN"
The epistle was not dated but the
ink was fresh. Jorgensen and Askjar
were both hard workers and had made
a valuable farm out of their 60 acre
tract, coming here about five years
ago. Both had formerly been black
smiths in Denmark, and later home
steaded together in Canada. The
farm was well Rtocked with good
buildings.
Officials were trying to locate Ask
jar Wednesday, but his address in
Portland was not learned. Neighbors
scoff at any suggestion of possible
trouble between the two men.
MOVEMENT TO HAVE
Clackamas county will be asked by
the Live Wires of the Commercial
club to appropriate $11 per man, em
bracing the membership of the Home
Guard first company of 108 men, for
uniforms. The matter was formally
indorsed at the noon-day luncheon
Tuesday and the county court will be
asked to take immediate action. Sim

Douglas and other counties of, the
state. Something over $1000 will be re
quired. Live Wires who indicate over the
telephone their intention to be pres

do not appear, will be subjected to a
fine of 50 cents hereafter, according
to a rule established Tuesday. The
organization took this action to pro
