BOMBS DROPPED FROM AIRSHIP
SALEM, Or., Feb. 8. (Special.)
The magnificent total of $8,237,819.
according to official figures, as near
as can be estimated now, will be the
requests that the present Legislature
will be called on to face in the shape
of appropriations.
This will be a record-breaker for
requests, but there is no reason to
believe that when the smoke ' has
blown away and the final tale has
been told that this will be a much
more expensive Legislature than the
one two years ago.
In fact there are indications that
the amount may be reduced below that
of two years ago. The scythe is al
ready beginning to mow down appro
priations bills, over $100,000 being
' lopped off today. The committee of
both the House and the Senate hav
ing to do with the ways and means,
are slashing right and left on institu
tional and other appropriations.
Already over $5,000,000 in requests
have been put in, and the list shows
not only the appropriation bills that
nave been introduced, but the esti
mates that have been made for the
"various state boards, commissions,
offices and institutions, so that it
gives a fairly adequate idea of the
entire financial situation that now pre
sents itself to the Legislative Assem
bly. It is a problem from the standpoint
of the taxpayers' purse, the like of
which no Legislature has had to con
front in the history of the state, the
demands of two years being in the
neighborhood of $7,000,000. The ways
and means commictee, as a criterion
of the manner In which it intends to
handle the estimates as to appropria
tions, has already cut nearly $140,000
from the Eastern Oregon Asylum es
timates, and' so far has probably
knocked out nearly $1,000,000 of the
requests that have been made, al
though all of these reports have not
found their way into the Legislature.
Adrianople, Weakened by Bulgarian
Fire, will be Stormed by
Allies Early Today
LONDON, Feb. 8 That the fall of
Constantinople is believed to be near,
is seen in the announcement today
that the British Admirality has de
cided to seiyi the entire Mediterran
ean squadron to Turkish waters.
The foreign office today requested
the Porte io permit three British war
ships now at Malta to enter the Dar
danelles and proceed to Constantino
ple. The foreign office later semi-offi-cially
stated that the Ottoman minis-,
terial council at Constantinople is
considering the request.
What is characterized here as the
most daring feat of the war was per
formed yesterday by Captain Marit
mas, a Greek aviator, who soared ov
er the Dardanelles in a hydroplane
and aimed three bombs at the arsen
al of Maides.
Looking down on Galliopoli penin
sula, Car .ain Maritmas saw red bursts
of flame, indicating that the guns of
the warships were trying to reacli
him. The aviator declared today be
made valuable observations of the
Turkish fortifications.
VIENNA, Feb. 8. Adrianople, weak
ened by the Bulgarian fire, will be
stormed tomorrow.
This is the gist of private dispatch
es from Sofia. While no details are
given, it is believed that the heavy
cannonading by Bulgar and Serb siege
guns has so weakened the beleaguer
td fortification that General Savoff
Mas decided the time has come when
human life is no longer to be consid
ered, and that he will throw his whole
force against the Holy City in one
grand assault.

Murderer Thought Mentally Unbal
anced, Is Denied Bail Ex
citement Is
Great
EVANSVILLE, Ind., Feb. 8. Three
negroes who were employed in his
millionaire father's wood-working es
tablishment were shot and instantly
killed here today by Allen Von Behren
aged 22. Then the young man drove
to the police station in his automo
bile and surrendered.
'T had to kill them," Von Bohren
told the police. "They swore to get
me."
The dead men are Walter Washing
ton, John Gordon, and Henry Gordon.
All factories in the vicinity of the
shooting, were closed after the triple
murder. The negro population, thor
oughly aroused, are congregating in
saloons and a race riot is feared. Ten
years ago 16 negroes were slain in a
race riot here.
Young Von Behren is superinten
dent of his father's establishment. He
had announced bis intention of arm
ing himself and today carried two re
volvers. The police assert the youth
deliberately picked out his three vic
tims. . -
The sUun men met death in differ
ent parts of the shop. John Gordon
was working " in a shed when Von
Behren, without warning, placed th.
revolver against the negro's head and
fired. Gordon dropped dead in his i
tracks. Von Behren then went into
another department and shot Henry
Gordon, the bullet almost tearing off the
top of his head. He then hurried to
a third department and shot Washing
ton through the heart.
A panic followed in the workshops,
the negroes jumping through windows
and hiding behind lumber piles.
Von Behren went into his office,
changed his clothing and drove to tho
police station. The police refused to
release the young man on bail. He
is believed to be insane, as he sud
denly claimed the negroes were tiy
ing to run the factory.
B. V. Von Behren, the young man's
father, is one of the most prominent
citizens of Evahdville.
The police this afternoon prepar
ed rifles for possible riot duty tonight
and the older officials say the situa
tion is ominous, and that trouble be
tween the whitesand blacks is more
than probable.
Von Behrerf s mother is prostrated"
from the saock attendant upon his
act. The young man's father is try
ing to secure his release on bonds.
The police, it is said, are planning to
secretly remove the killer from tha
city, fearing that when night falls the
negroes will attempt to storm the jaii
in which he is held.
OFFICIAL, WHO RESIGNS, MAKES

Yale's Resignation Said to be Result

engineer by the cojincil, but resigned
when it was charged that he was not
a resident of the city. It is understood
that Mr. Yale will receive $150 a
month, the salary of the engineer, and
Mr. Noble $120 a month, the salary
of the first assistant. Major Noble
formerly was the city engineer. Mr.
Yale's resignation was due to the fact
that he has not resided in the city one
year. Henry Meldrum, a former city
engineer, filed suit for an injunction
asking that Mr. Yale be enjoined
from holding the office. The city
charter specifically states that a per
son occupying the office of city en
gineer must have lived in the city,
one year before being appointed. Mr.
Yale's resignation and subsequent ap
pointment to the office of assist
ant engineer to Mr. Noble, was an
understanding reached by them where
by Mr. Yale might still remain in of
fice and be city engineer, although
another man might be actually the
city engineer.
