CANBY AND
Fire Destroys Barn
In Canby Section
i
CANBY Sept. 28. In a ire that
destroyed the barn owned by Mrs. John
Eid, of Canby, Sunday night at a
o'clock, a ton of Say and some tools
wer lost, and had not the chain brok
en that was attached to old 'Bossy
Jersey cow of Roy Knight, which was
in the barn at the time of the breaking
out of the fire, and the time'.y assist
ance of the owner, she would have no
doubt n:et her fate in the flames.
Mi. Knight, brother of Mrs. Eid had
iust taken possesion a few days before,
aiif on Saturday purchased the cow
at Molalla.
Earlier in th. day Mr. Kr.ight had
used a torch to exterminate chicken
lice m the barn, as the place had been
used recently for the housing of poul
try, and it is believed that this was the
cause of the fire.. Mr. Knight was!
home at the time the fire started, and
rushing into the barn to save the cow,
had found that the cow had broken
her ohain and was running about the
barn bellowing. Mr. Knight had some
difficulty in securing the chain, which
was red hot, and his hands wer badly
burned when h; managed to grab the
chain and lead ihe cow from the build
in? which was then a mass of flames.
This makes the second barn destroy
?d by fire in Canby during the past few
weeks. The other barn contained a
number of large busses owned by the
Canhy Auto Stage compan that wer3
lost in tbt fire.
Former Canby Men
Fight Big Blaze
CANBY, Sept. 2S. During the big
fire at Newberg last Saturday after
noon that started at 4 o'clock in a vul
canizing plant, Earl Hutchinson, who
place of business was but two blocks
away, was one of the men to fight the
fire. For hours he stood in the heat
of t&e flames helping to play water
from or.e of the big hose of the fire
company onto the fire. He managed
to walk ov r a long ladder extending
from one building to another and carry
a heavy hose, a venturesome agt that
he would not care to repeat.
Hutchinson says there were 3 50 men
fighting for hours, and the business,
section was threatened for some time.
Another young man, who is well known
here was Harry Garrett, 3011 of Dr.
and Mi-s. Garrett, of this city. Ho is
captain of one of the hose companies,
and he was also in the hottest part of
the fire. Their hands and faces were
blistered from the intense heat.
Wonderful Flower
Gardens Attract
CANBY, Sept. 28 The yards of Dr.
Garrett and Mrs. Ella Kocher are at
tracting unusual attention of those
visiting or passing through canby,
where fall flowers are blooming their
best. Such a variety, and their bright
and grogeous hues shows that the soil
of Canby is" not only adapted for grow
ing of vegetables and fruits, but for
flowers as welL Fronting the Garret
home are exquisitely shaded asters
ranging from delicately shaded pink to
the dark and richly colored purple, and
. in the yard will be found as fine blos
soms as can be produced anywhere.
These are growing ir well laid out
gardens and can be seen for blocks
away.
. The garden of Mrs. Kocher also con
taisn rare blossoms, and the plants
which were placed there by the late
Andrew Kocher, husband of Mrs.
Kocher, are now in full blossom, are
a reminder of the interest that Mr.
Kocher took in his home place, fur
many were placed there by hisi own
hands" ,and in which he took great
pride even to the time of his death
whei e he was able to look out upon the
beautiful flowering gardens.

Attorney General .
Gives Opinion on -
Bonus Question
Opinions upon a number of mooted
questions concerning the bonus bill
have been issued by the Attorney Gen
eral.
A copy of these opinions was re
ceived yesterday by Phil Hammond
local bonus attorney. They cover
number of cases, the exact status of
which has been in doubt They are
as follows:
QUESTION: Is a person who has
received for military or naval service,
extra compensation exceeding the
t mount of cash bonus he would be eu
titled to receive under the act, en
titled to receive the loan, with or with
out deduction of the amount so re
ceived. OPINION: Any person in
cluded in the above question, is en
titled to receive the loan provided in
the statute without deduction of the
amount previously received from an
other State or the Federal government
either by way of cash bonus or extra
compensation.
QUESTION: Is a person who has
received for military or naval serviw.
extra compensation less than the
amount of the cash bonus he would be
entitled to receive under the act, en-
titled to receive the loan without de
duction of the amount so received.
OPINION: Such person is entitled to
receive the loan without deduction of
the amount so received.
W 1J1.0 1 1U-IN : is a person who was
a resident of Oregon at the time of
his entry into the service and who is
otherwise qualified, but who is now
a resident of another state, entitled to
either he cash bonus or the loan
OPINION: Yes.
(QUESTION: Is a relative named in
Section 5, entitled to receive either the
cash bonus or loan at his option.
OPINION: Section 7, of the act
states that any person fully qualified
to receive either the loan or bonus1
may elect which he wil! take, and
Section 5 specifies the relatives of a
deceased veteran who may take the
bonus in his stead. The relative hav
ing the right under Section 5 to re
ceive the bonus, is given the further
right under Section 7 to receive" the
loan instead of the bonus at his elec
tion. Note: This opinion has not been
deemed final by the Commission, and
a decision by the Supreme Court will
be required before any relatives can
be granted the loan.
QUESTION: If a portion of an ap
plicant's service was in the Student
Army Training Corps as a student,
and applicant served more than sixty
days in some other branch of the ser
vice, shall the time served in the S. A.
T. C. as a student be deducted from
the total -period of service in com
puting the cash bonus. OPINION: No
time of service in the S. A. T. C. as
a student should be included in the
time of service of any applicant in
computing the cash bonus to which lie
is entitled.
QUESTION: If the applicant served
as a student in the S. A. T. C end leas
than sixty days in some ether branch
of the service, is the applicant entitled
to any of the benefits under tho act. j
OPINION: No.
QUESTION: Can the matter of re
fund of benifits receievd under the
Educational Financial Aid Act, b e
handled by the Commission as a de
duction from the amount of cash bon
us or loan the applicant i3 entitled to
receive rather than require actual re
fund in cash Then the' application is
filed. OPINION: The matter of re
fund can be handled as a deduction.
QUESTION: Can the Commission
withhold approal of a loan when the
applicant states his desire or intention
to use the money thus obtained for
other purposes than the acquisition or
improvement of a farm or home, or for
the payment of existing obligations
against such farm or home, or for pur
pose of purchasing1 farm machinery or
household furniture. OPINION: The
only loan provided for is a "farm" or
"home" loan, and would naturally in
clude such expenditure as will contri
bute to the acquisition, construction,
establishment, and completion of
farm or home, which of course would
include the items mentioned in the
question, but no others The question
is therefore answered in the affirma
tive.

MISSING MAN
FOUND DEAD;
THOT SUICIDE
Hole Torn in Head by Bullet
from .38 Revolver Owned
. by War Veteran
Suicide. This was the verdict" of
the coroner over the finding of the
body of Elmer E. Seeley, 29 year-old
world war veteran, who had been
missing since last Tuesday.
Seeley's body was found Sunday
noon by H. C. Krause and Lyle Seeley,
hisi brother, a little over a mile from
Wilsonville, from which place he dis
appeared. The body, bidden in the dense
woods, indicated that Seeley had shot
himself, using a .38 caliber revolver
that he had purchased in France when
member of the American expedl-
ionary forces. The bullet entered
Seeley's skull just above the eye, tra
versed the brain and came out behind
the ear, and them embedded itself in
tree some seven feet from where he
toed.
No Inquest in Case
The body was turned over to Coro-
! ner Pace, who said Monday that
no inquest would be held, as the fam
ily- did not desire one and death wa
plainly due to suicide.
The corner quoted a member cf
Seeley's family as saying that his con
dition had been such for ihe past sev
eral months that his act occasioned
no purprisse. Young Seeley had con
tracted tuberculosis while in the serv
ice, and was despondent over his ccn
dition
Funeral services will be held from
the Wilsonville church today at 1
o'clock, with the Rev Dr. Barbur of
Forest Grove officiating.
Many Join Search
Finding of Seeley's body ended a
search in which ex-service men from
many Clackamas and Marion towns
had joined .Country for a mile about
Wil3onville was being covered in the
effort to find his body, for it was the
generally accepted theory that he had
committed suicide.
He had called on a young woman
friend Tuesday night and after leav
ing her home had driven his automo
bile a short distance, abandoned it in
the roadway and then, apparently.
gone to the woods where his body was
found a'nd ended his life.
Three people in Wilsonville report
ed hearing a single shot Tuesday
night about 9 o'clock.
Motor Bus Is Used
on Spanish Highways
An interesting illustration of the
awakening of Spain to the benefits
cf motor omnibuses ard trucks is pr
sented in an announcement from the
General Automobile Fociety that a
competitive trial of motor busses and
trucks was held recently from Barce
lona to Madrid, 438 miles Specified
distances had been laid out for six
days
The motor bus. reports United
States Consul-General Hurst, at Bar
eel on a has successfully solved the
nroblem of communication in many
districts of Spain not reached by the
railways and the motor truck is rap
idly replacing- horse-drawn vehicles
for long, hauls over indifferent roads,
as well as for general trucking in city
limits.
Many types of motor busses have
been in use Jn the country for several
years, but it is only within tne last
two years that the motor -truck has
gained full recognition He adds that
in view of the possibilities of the
Spanish market for these vehicles the
projected contest would appear a fa

A R BUCKLE
LET OUT ON
$5000 BAIL
MURDER CHARGE NOT
TO BE PUSHED
Two Counts of Manslaughter
. Still Pendnig Against
Fat Comedian
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28. Roscoe
iFatty) Arbuckle walked out of ihe
city prison late today after 18 days
of imprisonment, released on $5000
ball, the charge of the murder of Miss
Virginia Rappe having been reduced
to manslaughter after a six-day po
lice court hearing.
Not enough evidence was intro
duced to warrant Arbuckle being he'd
to answer - for murder. Police Judge
Lazarus said in reducing the charge.
There was enough in Arbuckle's con
duct at the drinking party at th?
Hotel St. Francis, which led to Miss
Rappe's death, to justify his being
held for manslaughter, however, he
announced.
. Two manslaughter charges now are
pending against the film comedian, as
the county grand jury returned an in
dictment against him two weeks ago.
Arraignment on that accusation has
been set for October 3. Today's police
court proceedings require the district
attorney to file an information charg
ing manslaughter in the superior
court within 30 days.
Parking Limit Upon
Main Street to be
Enforced by Police
Parking on Main street Is to be
limited to 45 minutes.
The ordinance to this effect, and ap
plying to the district between Sixth
and Eighth streets is to be enforced
commencing next Monday.
At the meeting of the city coumrl
Wednesday evening. Councilman I." C
Bridges drew attention to the fact
that the conditions along Main street
wera congested and suggested that
some action be taken.
During the dis-
cussion it developed that there Is a
law now on the statute books which
regulates this case, and it was sug
gested that the chief of police be in
structed to enforce it. It was decided
however, to take no definite action
until warning had been issued to all
motorists for the contemplated pr
ceedure.
For hire cars and busses which
park on the main thorofare came in
for their share of discussion, and the
general opinion was voiced that they
should not be allowed to park on Main
street but should take their stand
either on Third street, as provided in
the case of the Canby bus franchise
or on some of the side streets.
The creation of a restricted district
and the blanket prohibition of parking
was suggested, but did not meet with
general favor, due to the sentiment
in favor of placing the existing law in
operation in an attempt to comply
with the situation in that way.

CONSIDERATION OF
FERRY PROBLEM IS
NOW EXPECTED SOON
r 1 H
Committees from Commercial
and Civic Bodies Hold
Joint Meeting
Prospects for an early decision as
to t.e establishment of a ferry across
the Willamette river to keep traffic
open during the time that the Oregon
City-West Linn bridge is under con
struction loom big from the general
spirit of cooperation that is manifest.
At an informal meeting held Tues
day night, representatives of the city
of West Linn, the Commercial club
and Oregon City decided to take the
matter up jointly with the county
court. It is to be discussed at a full
meeting, the definite date of which
has not yet been decided although it
is expected that action will be taken
within a week.
The county court nas received an
offer from Multnomah county, tend
ering them the use of a ferry. They j
ask a rental of $150 a month, the
county to pay all of the operating ex
penses.
The problem of operating a ferry,
while, it is -believed to be the most
feasible method, involves considerable
expenditure, not only in the operation
of tbe boat but in the erection and
maintenance' of landings and roads
leading to the landings. Definite de
cision however, as to the method to
be followed has not been made.
Another angle of the problem which
is being considered is the agreement
on tbe part of the Highway commis
sion to pave the 3000 feet of the Paci
fic highway from Bolton to the bridge
if some guarantee is made that auto
mobile traffic will be kept open during
the lime that the new bridge is under
construction.
"Please Go Back"
Is Plea Made by
Wife of Gardner
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Sept. 28
Mrs Dolly Gardner, wife of. Roy Gard
ner, mail bandit, who escaped from
McNeil island federal prison Septem
ber 5, published a .letter in the San
Francisco Bulletin today addressed to
"Roy Gardner, Somewhere," and ask
ing him to return to the prison.
The letter followed receipt of a let
ter by the Bulletin from Gardner de
tailing his escape, and enclosing a
plea to President Harding for clem
ency. Mrs. Gardner's letter said:
"Dear Roy In your letter to Presi
dent Harding you said you had ended
your criminal career. To show ycu
really mean this, go back to McNeil
island. You cannot be a hunted man
and lead an honorable life.
Pleads for Return
"Show President Harding and every
one you are the man I have always
said you were. Mest any one can be
taken back, but it takes a Roy Gard
ner and a thoroughbred to go back of
his own accord and take his chances
with the rest.
The law renders your friends
powerless to help you under present
circumstances.
Roy, do this one thing for my sake
and little Jean's. I want to do the
best thing for you. That is why I ask
this of you.
'Think this over, .but do not let
others think for you. Lovingly,
"DOLLY."

United States Marshal James IJ
Holoban has expressed belief that
Roy Gardner, escaped mail bandit, is
in the hands of friends in the state ot
Washington.
"If the letters received in San Frm
cisco and purporting to have been
written by Gardner are authentic, it
shows that Gardner lost no time in
getting to h;s friends, who I am sure
were waiting for him to effect his es
cape." said the marshal.

Membership Campaign
1 s
Launched by Mystic
Organization
Break out your nightshirt! The Ku
Klux Klan is here!
During the past week a representa
tive of the original, dyed-in-the-wool
tripple K outfit has been staging a
roundup of members in Oregon City
Nearly 100 local men, including figures
of some prominence have separated
with ten bucks and descended into tho
Dismal Cave to pledge their allegiance
to the Invisable Empire.
The Kink Kollektor, wfeo has made
doing the soliciting here, is reported
to be operating out of the city -of
Portland. According to the dictates
of the Imperial Wizard, who is the
hig-h potentate of the whole shebang,
the membership is secret. No one lo
cally admits having offered fealty to
the wearers of the canvas pajamahs,
but it is understood that the list has
ben augmented in Clackamas coun'y
with very little trouble.
Membership Large
A number of loca men are evassivo
upon the subject of the Klan. General
discussions of the subject bring forth
the information that there are nearly
3000 members in Portland They say
that there are over three quarters o'
a million members in the United
States. As to a local organization, un
der a resident Imp. Wiz., they say
nothing. -
The fact, however, is certain, that
the Kluxers have secured a compari
tively large membership here, al
though it has not yet been necessary
to assign a traffic cop to the grav-i
yard.
Makeup is Enigma
What the membership of the K. K.
K. is as enigmatical as the identity of
the king kJeagle here. Ex-service men
say that it is made up chiefly of war
veterans. Religious organizations
claim a preponderance on the list, and
others state that they are just "10i
per cent American."
Blanks for application for member
ship in the mysterious order of the
"Faultless, Fearless and Ever Faith
ful" have been placed in the hands of
a number or prominent local men.
Some who have refused to sign up are
verile in their denuncation of the
tidea. and - still others look upon it .
good naturedly, saying that it is the
boy in the man who hungers for
mysticism, secret signs, and invisible
authorities."
