I,
In spite of the fact that a thirsty
public has asked both the wets and
drys to quench its desire for news as
to plans for the coming campaign, not
even a wet will grant the request.
The approaching campaign appears
to be one of secrecy. The factions
have lined their forces and have pre
pared for the conflict that will come
within the next few weeks. The drys
have held meetings but they refu-'o
to let one single idea leak out as to
their plans for the fight that is coming.-
The wets are in the same boat.
Though an organization has been per
fected by those opposed to prohibition
and plans will be brewed at meetings
to be held in the future, none of the
committeemen have let it out as to
just what these plans are to be.
The attitude of both factions seems
to be that a personal work campaign
by friends among friends. The wets
seem to have that idea and appear to
be planning a campaign in which ev
ery member of the organization will
do what he can to influence his per
sonal friends to vote for the conditions
as they now stand.
Though the drys have indicated that
they would bring speakers into the
city and would have a regular program
for their campaign, none of the work

Bull Run water was furnished at the
weekly luncheon of the Live Wires
Tuesday and the beverage so re
freshed the Wires that one of the live
liest meetings held in months took
place. Not much business was trans
acted either, but a discussion arose
over clauses of the proposed by-laws,
which were finally adopted. Under
their provisions any members of the
Commercial club may become a mem
ber of the Live Wires by merely sign
ing the by-laws of the electrical organ
ization. E. Kenneth Stanton was elected
transmission wire, succeeding Dr.
Clyde Mount, resigned, and Leo. S.
Burdon was appointed Feed Wire to
succeed W. S. U'Ren, whose term of
office expired.
Next week there' will be no Tues
day luncheon, but on Wednesday even
ing at 6:30 o'clock, there will be a din
ner, at which ex-United States Senator
Jonathan Bourne will be the guest of
honor. Following the dinner Mr.
Bourne will deliver his talk on the fed
eral aid plan for highways. This is a
matter that has created no little in
terest throughout the country. Mr.
Bourne is chairman of the committtee
having the matter in hand and has
given the subject deep study, and has
worked out a comprehensive plan, pro
viding for maintenance, as well as con
struction of highways through federal

SAN DIEGO, Cal., Oct. 7. Confess

negro arrested here Sunday on a
charge of having murdered Mrs. Re
becca P. Gay in a Los Angeles build
ing 10 days ago, made a clean breast
of all his crimes to Captain of De
tectives Meyers and two Los Angeles
detectives here today.
"I never knew Mrs. Gay and did not
go to the Hellman building to find
her," Harris said. "I just wanted to
kill some woman. I took the gas pipe
from my back yard and went to the
building and up on the fifth floor I saw
her name on the door. I knocked and
when she opened it I asked if a Mrs.
Wallace was there. I did not know
any Mrs. Wallace, and just asked the
question to gain admittance."

After the banquet, speeches were

Will Clackamas county be represent
ed in the great all-Willamette valley
exhibit at the Panama-Pacific Exhibi
tion in 1915, or will the county attempt
to make its own individual display?
This, the question that will he
threshed out at the meeting of the
publicity committee of the Commer
cial club tonight, when one of the most
important sessions of that committe
will be held.
At present it is thought by those in
close touch, with the members, that
the Oregon City Commercial club will
adopt the scheme and that the other
similar bodies throughout the county-
will soon fall in line.
It is considered by many as the only
lojrical and reasonable way to show
the wonderful fertility and prosperity
of the Willamette valley. Instead of
a number-of unconnected and rival
displays, there would be one connect
ed and harmonizing showing.
The plan is to unite the eight coun
ties of the Willamette valley in one
great display at the Panama-Pacific
Exposition in 1915. The movement
was started Wednesday of " last week
when representatives of the Commer
ciak bodies of Linn, Marion, Lane and
Benton counties met and made pre-;
liminary arrangements for joining the "But they're signing of petitions

JURY DELIBERATES FOR HOURS
AND RELEASES DEPUTY
HELD FOR SHOOTING
COURT'S INSTRUCTIONS EXPLICIT
Judge Campbell Goes Into Phases of
Case and Talks of Powers
Given to Peace Officers
Under State Laws
After hours of deliberation, the jury
that held the liberty of William E.
Mumpower in its hands brought in a
verdict of not guilty at 12:05 o'clock
Tuesday night.
Mumpower was a deputy under
Sheriff E. T. Mass and was indicted by
the recent grand jury following his
wounding Earl C. McNaughton during
an attempt that he made to arrest the
boy. The testimony showed that sev
eral shots had been fired by the dep
uty and that two of them had taken
effect. The defense introduced evi
dence to show that the officer had
tried to hit the tire of the motorcycle
on which the boy was said to have
made his effort at escape and that he
had not intention of wounding Mc
Naughton. The court, however, instructed the
jury that the officer must be held ac
countable for the results of his act
and that his intention must be judged
from what happened as a result of its
exercise. He also emphasised the
law that enables an officer to -kill a
man if it is necessary in making or
maintaining in arrest and that the
law empowers the officer to use what- .
ever force is necessary to effect that
arrest and no more. The defense also
introduced testimony to show that a
farmer had notified Mumpower that
McNaughton had killed his dog, which
the court instructed the jury was a
felony if committed maliciously and
wantonly and with intent to injure the
owner of the property. The case then
resolved itself into the question as to
whether the officer had reasonable
grounds to believe that McNaughton
had committed a felony and whether
he had used more force than was nec-

A real head-on collision fea-
,
tured in the picture for that
Life's as brief as love at sight; some
joy, some grief, and then good night.
No man who is a poor provider
should expect his wife to be a good
cook.
Too many young couples never think
seriously about marriage until after
it happens.
A man may boast that he is com
plete master of himself and not have
much to boast of at that. .
Many a man's idea of a happy home
is one in which his "wife poses as a
dressmaker, cook and maid of all
work. 9
When a young man takes a girl for
a buggy joy ride and she insists upon
taking the reins, he ought to be able
to guess what she is driving at.
