THE MORNING- OREGOJiTAST, SATURDAY, JANUARY HEMBBEE ACCUSED OF FOUL CRIES Sand Lake Man Must Face Courts for Murder of Wife and .Child. OWN DAUGHTER: HIS PREY Indignant Gitizens Threaten to Lvnch Unnatural Father, Who Is Taken ito McMinnvillc Jail for Safe Keeping;. TIIfLAMOOK, Or., Jan. 5. (Special.) A. J. Hcmbree was charged today with the murder of his wife and daughtor, be fore Justice Haberlack. He waived exam ination, and the case will come up at the next term of the Circuit Court. Sheriff "Woolfc left immediately with the pris oner, who Is committed to the Yamhill County Jail for safe-keeping. There Is a great deal of Indignation on account of the death of the women, and some few people in the south end of the county talked of lynching Hombree. Last Friday morning Hembree's hou&e, at Sand Lake, burned down. It was a small shack house by the side of the hill. After the fire, about 1 o'clock in the morning. Hem bree went to a neighbor by the name of Hoyt and told James Thompson that his house was burned down, and asked whether the women were there. Thomp son at once started for the house, about a mile distant, but Hembre went to bed. When Thompson arrived at the fire the place was all burned down, and there was a large heap of embers in one place. He had no idea at the time that the unfortu nate women were beneath this heap, which looked as though trunks, books and wood had been piled up. It was not until daylight that the remains were found, and so completely were the bodies cre mated that all that remained of them were a few charred bones. Here the first sus picion was aroused, for no one believed that the small Iioufc could have consumed the bodies in that manner. Hembree, previous to the fire, had sent his two sons to a relative for a few days. The supposition Is that Hcmbree killed his wife and daughter to cover up another crime. It has leaked out. and there, is evidence to .prove it, that when his daugh ter was attending the academy in this city last 'year whenever he came tp the city he would lake her from the academy and to a hotel, where he would occupy the same room over night with his daugh ter, who was a young girl. 16 years of age. Not long since he called upon a doc tor in this'cJty and told him his daughter was in trouble and wanted him to perform an operation upon the girl. This the doc tor refused to do. This, and considerable more evidence of a like nature In the possession of Dep uty District Attorney Cooper caused his arrest. It is generally thought that Hcm bree performed an operation upon the girl himself, and this proving fatal, he killed liis wife and burned his house to destroy all evidence of his guilt. He had pre viously threatened the life of his wife. Hembree is a man addicted to drink, with a bad record in the neighborhood in which he lived. He is accused of setting lire to his house two years ago. with the purpose of getting the insurance money. He is now insured for ?600. SALEM WILD BE GOOD.

The funeral associations which arc being oqganlzed In practically all the well-populated localities of the state should be required to comply with the fraternal-insurance laws, according to an opinion given by the Attorney-General to the in surance department. The associations charge S to 25 cents per month to mem bers, which provides payment of all fu neral expenses in the event of death. The Attorney-General holds that they are a form of fraternal-insurance orders, but that the mortuary rates fixed for the lat ter by law could hardly apply. He sug gests that the insurance department se cure the. services of a secretary for the purpose of preparing a mortuary table ap plicable to sueh association, and that they be required to file reports and submit to examinations.

This party ran a line from Pa.co to El lensburg. By the survey the distance Is less than 100 miles, while that of the Northern Pacific between these points Is 127 miles. Starting at Pasco the line crosses the Columbia River at Richland, and then heads in a straight northwest erly course, keeping north of the Rattle snake hills. Instead of following the- Yaki ma River. The survey follows Coal Creek for some distance and again strikes the Columbia River near the foot of Priest Rapids. The line then continues along the Columbia River until it turns west ward and enters the Kittitas Valley through Johnson's canyon. In reaching the valley the heaviest grade is about 21 per cent.

(Speclal.)-Acting under a law passed by the last Legisla ture, fruitgrowers of Linn County have been circulating a petition for the ap pointment of such an Inspector, and the County Court has appointed E. C. -Armstrong, of Marion Station, Marlon County, to the position. The appointment was made upon recommendation of Charlea A. Park, of Salem, horticultural commis sioner. The law provides that the In spector shall be such a man as the horti cultural commissioner would recommend as suitable for the place, and Mr. Arm strong, who is the inspector for Marlon Counts', Is known to have the requisite knowledge for the place. The prcvalenco of San Jo.c scale and other pests and vermin that ruin the fruit crop has become more marked, until now a large percentage of the fruit, par ticularly apples. Is worthless. Orchards that a few years ago produced large quan tities of perfect .unblemished apples now give a small yield of low grade, unmar ketable fruit. Orchardlsts who spray their trees and fruit and take even precaution to cllmlnttc pests are handicapped by the negligence of some neighbor, who refuses or neglects to take proper steps to ex terminate vermin. The result has Boon a cutting off of the profits of the fruit industry, and corresponding discourage ment to fruitgrowers. The new order of things meets the ap proval of all. and with the cleaning up and digging up of old orchards, and those that are infested with vermin. Linn County will again put forth perfect, un blomlshed fruit. "WOULD KEEP CHIXESE OUT President Blackman Favors String ent Laws Against Coolies and Japs. ABERDEEN. Wash., Jan.

Turner, Forger and Perjurer, Declines to Quit Office, and Will Try Lesser Criminals Than Himself. SALEM, Jan. 3. (Special.) The convic tion of A. T. -Kelllher yesterday on a charge of forgery will probably be a source of satisfaction on the part of Gen eral W. H. Odell. who can trace much of his trouble la land matters to Kelll her. In hl extensive lieu land operations Odell came Into conflict with Kelllher be cause of the fact that ho was trying to use as mineral base a lot of school sec tions which Kelllher had bought. In the same way Odell came into conflict with the Interests of W. N. Jones and F. P. Mays. It was through these men that the extent and nature of Odell's opera tions were made public. K11lher went before the Department of the Interior with his objections to the allowance of the Odell lieu land selections and It was probably due largely to KcllL her'a vigorous presentation of the mat ter that the department took a firm stand against them. Kelllher filed a brief showing that the state had sold to his clients the school sections which Odell was trying to have relinquished to the Government In exchange for lieu lands. In Its decision against Odell the .depart ment said that the proof of the mineral character of the land was not sufficient and that in a great many Instances the state had already asserted title to the land by rolling It to various purchaser?. At that time Odell questioned the good faith and legality 'of the purchases mado by Kelllher or others acting for him and also insisted that these purchases were made after he began adjudication of the mineral character of the land, and there fore should not be considered by the de partment. Though the conviction of Kelllher or the proof of the bad faith or Invalidity of the purchases made by him or for him cannot be of avail In helping h! own cause. Odell doubtkM finds some satis faction In seeing his charges proven, even though he may not rejoice over tho downfall of an ndversary- W. N. Jones made no fight against Odell In the de partment for the reason that Odell yielded without contest In all srascj In which his Interests conflicted with those of Jones. Will Turner Hcslgn. Though the land fraud trial ! over, it Is still the subject of general discussion In fact It Is receiving more attention now than while the trial was In progress. At no time was there a crowd In the court room during the taking of testimony. Now that the trial Is over, everyone Is discussing its various features and the questions of public Importance which arise from It. The position In which Jus lice of the Peace Turner Is placed Is a leading topic. Turner confessed that ho- procurcd men to commit perjury and that he Is himself a forger, yet he holds the iales of Justice In his court anil parses Judgment upon men who are charged with offense? that arc inconsiderable In com parison with his own. That Turner should resign his office is the unanimous declaration, but he evidently has no In tention of doing so. for on the same day that he made his own confession of crime he fixed a date upon which he will try four men charged with petty larceny. Cannot JBc Forced Out. That there is no way of. forcing Turner out of office Is declared by those who have examined the statutes. Ills crime was committed before he was elected Jus tice of the Peace, and In no way consti tutes malfeasance In office. The charge against him was dismissed, so that no conviction can be had, resulting in expul sion from office. Members of the County Court were yesterday seeking a means of putting him out of office, but did not suc ceed. During the campaign of lOOt. when Tur ner was a candidate for the office of Jus tice of the Peace, there were many who knew that Turner's land transactions were suspicious, but. having no conclusive proof, they were unwilling to set forth publicly what they knew, and Republicans hesitated to discuss the matter, lest they be afterwards charged with disloyalty to a Republican candidate. Xcw Facts Come to Light. Since the trial of Kelllher, one circum stance has come to light which, though not a material element of the crime, would nevertheless have exerted a great Influence upon the Jury had the facts been developed It will be remembered that Kelllher paid Turner 57 each for the cer tificates of sale. Turner testified that ho forged 30 applications upon which he pro cured Charles EL Lenon to acttas notary. When Turner went to Lenon he told the latter that he (Turner) was getting only 23 cents apiece for these affidavits, but that he would do the fair thing and give Lenon 13 cents out of It. Lenon therefore got $(-50 for being a party to 30 crimes, while Turner was getting 5210 out of it. The attorneys for Kelllher. In cross-examining Turner and Lenon. never onco thought to Inquire how much Lenon was paid. Had this matter been brought out and the selflshness-of Turner disclosed. It Is probable that the jury would have been so convinced of his entire lack of honesty that they would not have credited him In the slightest. Such a transaction as this would have given Kelllhers attprneys' an unexcelled opportunity to add ridicule of the most cutting and effective kind to tho overwhelming excoriation, of which there was no lack. Had a Fair Trial. Tho opinion generally expressed by thoso who heard the proceedings was that the court made no errors against the in terests of the defendant, and If there are grounds for a new trial they are not pat ent to the casual observer. The penalty for the crime of forgery Is imnrisonmnt; for two to ten years, with no alternative or a nne. audge Burnett has set next Monday as the time for passing sentence. Both the Salem dally papers today urged in their editorial columns that Turner should resign his fflce as Justice of tho Peace. When asked this evening what he will do about It. Turner replied: "I have no thought of resigning. I shall stay in that office till I get-ready to get out." TAKES HIS HORSE AND GOES Oregon. City Woman Leaves Husband In the Stilly XlghU OREGON CITY.
