othy D. (Big Tim) Murphy, labor lead
er ana former memoer or me siaw
legislature made an alleged confession
this morning according to the pos
tal authorities that he wa simplicated
in the $350,000 mail robbery at the
Dearborn street railroad station April
Murphy's, arrest and alleged confes
sion followed a raid last night on the
home of his father-in-law William
Diggs, where postal inspectors assert
they found $98,600 in Liberty bonds
and $14,300 in cash in a trunk.
Vincenzo Cosmano Murphy's lieu
tenant in labor circles, also is being
detainer by the authorities for que3
tioning. Murphy's arrest is said to
have followed an alleged confession
obtained from Ralph Teter, railway
mall clerk, who is said to have ad

share of the proceeds of the robbery.
The Literary Digest asks if "the old fashioned girl,
with all she stands for in sweetness, modesty and inno
cence, is in danger of being extinct?" A: good many
people seem to think that present styles of dress, man
ners of dancing, etc., indicate considerable moral de
terioration. Women have from time immemorial suffered a
physical .handicap as the custom of wearing long and
entangling skirts. Anyone who ever saw them trying
to play baseball or other active games,, knows that. It
does not seem probable, in these days when they demand
equal privileges, that they will indefinitely submit to
this handicap.
, It is a fair surmise that in due time they will discard
skirts for athletic games and many kinds of work where
freedom of dress is needed. It would create a tremen
dous commotion among the sidewalk, lounger element,
if women wore in all active pursuits a costume about like
the riding breeches now used by society girls. But in
a short time people would get used to it and wonder why
they never did so before. It would promote the health of
the female sex and its effects on morals would be nil.
The tendency of dancing to degenerate into a kind
of sickly hugging match, in which a vigorous and health
ful exercise turns into enervating sex enjoyment is noth
ing new. Mothers who have sense have always main
tained an oversight over the dances that their daughters
attend, and have warned them against men who show
this exaggerated sex feeling. ,
The world is undoubtedly full of temptations in
these times, and a great number of people have loose
morals and it has always been so. Sensible young peo
ple are brought tip to understand that these low stand
ards destroy family happiness and wreck lives of prom
ise. If this kind of instruction is being given in the
homes as it should be, the temptations of the present
time will cause no more moral downfalls than in any pre
vious time.

After a day of futile chasing of clews
to the whereabouts of Roy Gardner,
escaped mail train robber, posses to
night were engaged in combing the
thick brush five miles north of Kelso
where last reports indicated that Gard

Five automobiles loaded with arm

telegraphed that a man answering Gar

Th? farmer telephoned in the
new clue immediately after the strarig

elevator pipe line on 6th street was
taken in the adoption of a suggestion
from Water Commissioner William
Howell. New pipe witth 3crew joints
will be purchased to replace the 2500
feet which at present is leaking, due
to the high pressure. The water
commission will have to purchase new
pipe to supply the South Oregon city
district, but instead of using the new
pipe, will put the piping now in use on
the elevator line in this work, placing
the new material tn the elevator line.
The difference in cost of $700 will be

in use in the elevator line is of lead
joint structure, and will be sufficient
strength to handle the comparatively
low pressure of a domestic service

NEW YORK, June 1. Almost two
years after the crime, the murder of
Daniel F. Kaber, wealthy publisher, in
his home at Lakewood, a suburb of

1919, was cleared up early Friday
morning in police headquarters here
by 'confessions from Mrs. Eva Cath

McArdle, 19, his stepdaughter.
Mrs. Kaber broke down after IS
hours of relentless questioning b?
Captain Carey of the New York homi

tensen of Lakewoor. She admitted
she had mixed arsenic in her hus
band's Hood for weeks prior to the
murder and had arranged with spirit
ualistic midwife to hire the two as
sassins who mortally stabbed Mr. Ka

Denying she nad intended murder,
the widow gave a fantastic explena

men to her husband's bedside, saying
that she dispatched them a s"ghosts'
merely to wake the sick man up in
the dark of the night and frighten him
into treating her more kindly and giv

At a special meeting of the Ore
gon City council held in the city hall
Wednesday evening the subject for
the improvement of a number of the
streets and alleys in the city, leading
through the city thoroughfares was
taken up. Among these are Twelfth
street from Main to Center, which
will be paved; Eighth street from the
Southern Pacific railroad track to the
Willamette river; Ninth street from
Railroad avenue to the river; Sixth
and Railroad avenue to the river (wa
ter street). The repairing of Sev
enth street was also taken under ad
visement, and will b6 brought up for
another hearing at. the next special
meeting ' of the council, which will
be held on Monday evening, June IS.
It is probable that the street, which
is in need of repair, will be paved.
The plans of all these streets . were
submitted to the council.
Permission was given the residents
of Willamette street and of Warren
street to make a temporary Improve
ment on the street extending from
Molalla avenue and Warren street at
their own expense.
The alley between Seventh and
Eighth streets will also be improved.
A committee was appointed to look
into the matter of using the river
bank from Thirteenth to Fourteenth
streets as a dumping ground for ref
use. By using this gToufcd for dump
ing articles has been the means cf
saving much valuable property, and
no decayed matter is ever allowed to
be deposited there, thus causing no
disease of those residing in that sec
tion of the city. Before the place
was used as a dumping iground, wa
ter from the Willamette river was
doing much ram age to adjoining pro
perty, and the means taken by the
property owners was to save the pro
perty from being washed away.
An ordinance was passed regard
ing garbage at homes in the city,
which is as follows:
"It shall be unlawful for any per
son to have in his or her possession
in Oregon City any garbage, unless
the same be enclosed in a clean me-'
tal container and securely covered
with a metallic lid so as to prevent
accumulation of flies.
Any person who shall violate any
of the provisions of this ordinance
shall upon conviction thereof, be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
punished by a fine of not more than
$25 or by the imprisonment in the
city jail not to exceed ten days. This
will come- up for . a second reading
and passage at the next regular meet
ing of the city council to be held on
June 6th."
An invitation was extended to the
G. A. R. and its auxiliaries to hold
