and W. J. Knapp. County Coroner, and
Cordon Stuart, a newspaper correspond,
ent. all who had heard the '.estlmony
of Wlnfleld Gasoway. night police offi
cer, on the witness stand, before the
Coroner's Jury, testified that Gasoway
tad aald that I-ewellyn had been ar
rested for consorting with a woman,
and not a felony, aa he had testified te
at the present case,
i Chaaae la Record Charge.
! Counsel for th state asked for the
Sol Ice blotter. In which was recorded
t'-.e arrest of Eewellyn and Bertha
Wells. The defense waa willing1 to ad
.lt that the charge waa entered, but
the book waa asked for by A. L Mllies,
ana of tha state's counsel.
John Secrlst. Chief of Police of Van
couver, waa sent, to aet the book, and
he returned, afte? some delay, with tha
police blotter, which was said not to be
'an official record. Attorneys looked at
the entry made on tha morning of Sep
tember :0. under the date cf September
19. as tha data changes at midnight,
and soon consternation reigned. There
were whisperings; and those most In
- terested smelled tha book at that point
where It was Imputed a change had
been made. The scent of some enemi
es I used In Ink eradlcatora was pro-
flounced. This was called to the atten
' tlon of Judge UcMaeter, whe waa try-
tng the case.
secrlst admitted that he had changed
the several words, but did not say when
' he had done ao.
r- t'kaeae Held I an porta at.
Wlnfleld Gasoway. who was in bed.
naviag worked all night, waa sent for.
tnd ha testified that the change had
been made. Baying that the word
"rustling for her." meaning the Wella
.woman, had been inserted: that "he was
told last night that the change waa to
be made, but that he was not present
it the time the change was made.
Captain W. M. Goodale and Lieuten
ant Staley A. Campbell testified that
trie change was from "Bertha Wells, an
eld cat." to the words, "rustling for
her." and that the word "years" vas
changed to "months" in the record of
'when Lewellyn was arrested once be
fore. The etrwo. contending that
l.ewel!n an, I Bertha Wells had been
arrested for being in a roiitn together,
was a violation of a city ordinance
only, while solli-ltinir for Immoral pur
poses was a felony in this state, bo that
' the change lro:n the adjectives, "an
' old cat." to "rustling for her," was a
serious change. The law gives a peace
officer the riht to shoot at a prisoner
attempting to escape. If he be arrested
on a charge the penalty of which
would he a penitentiary sentence,
whereas, a police officer has no right
to shoot at a prisoner If he is arrested
only for breaking a city ordinance.
Jary et Skews AIL
These facts were brought to tha at
tention of the Jury, not directly, as
they had been excused for a recess
when Judge McMaster was Informed
that a change had been made In the
record. The police blotter was not ad
mitted directly In evidence, but the
entry, made the day of the arrest, and
signed by Burkhart and Gasoway. was
read Into the revord. The changes also
were read Into the record.
Lieutenant Campbell admitted, when
asked by counsel for the defense, that
be knew of a fund being made up to
retain an attorney to assist the state
1n the prosecution. The state answered
that this was necessary, as the defend
ant bad the City Attorney, three other
attorneys to assist him. and the police
department alo.
At 11:84 o'clock the esse closed
nd Judge McMaster for Ii) minutes
read Ma instructions to the Jury.
At I o'clock the courtroom was
packed solid with humanity; the aisles
were titled, the walls around the room
were rilled with people leaning against
thrm; the doors were overflowing and
iirae. trying to obtain points of
Vantage, secured step ladders, and
lamcg them against the wall In the
Hall, were althln hearing distance of
the attorneys making the arguments.
A stairway leading to the rttof of the
building held a dozen, who could see
from that point to the courtroom. Mrs.
Burkhart sat Inside of the railing, and
Burkhart. the defendant, sat In his ac
customed chair under the shadow of

PLEDGES ARE CONDEMNED
Oregon Graduate Manager Holds
Fraternity Action Hurts School.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene.
Jan. ILi Special.) -In an open com-
munlcatlon to the Oregon Emerald of
; last night's Issue. Arthur M. Geary,
5 graduate manager of athletica at the
f Cnlverslty. takes exception to the
present habit of the Oregon fraterni
ties In pledging preparatory school
students before they enter college,
contending that a change In policy
would not only benefit the general
feeling at the various' high schools
but that It would serve to dignify, as
well, tbe fraternities and the Cnlver
slty. Geary was himself a fraternity man
while In attendance at tha University
three years.
Tha correspondent's plaint is that
the circulation of pledge buttona
around high schools establishes an ar
tificial atmosphere of discrimination
which discourages some "prep" men
from entering the college field and,
too, that It opens a greater possibil
ity for mistaken choice in fraternity
selection, tome men, ha argues, are
kept away from college or made to
enter begrudgtngly because they real
ize, all too late, that they have signed
up with the wrong "crowd."
He points out that men pledged
early la high school may find the com
plexion of tha chapter radically
changed by the time they antar col
lege. His contention is that all "bids"
to chapter membership- should be with
held until after the prospective frater
has matriculated.
In an editorial the college paper com
mends the Geary letter and emphasizes
the necessity of fraternity co-operation
on thia point

Upper Umatilla Resident Searching
for John Xarkans. Find Horse
Standing Alone.
PENDLETON. Or., Jan. 11. (Spe
cial.) Buried under an avalanche of
snow at the bottom of Bobsled Can
yon. SO miles east of Pendleton, Is
believed to bo the body of John Nar
kaua. Eastern Oregon's first Tlctlra of
the recent storm.
Ranchers along the upper Umatilla
River aearched from early morning
until darkness settled down over the
mountains In a vain effort to find some
trace of the young stockman. Narkaus
started up Bobsled Canyon last Mon
day In search of a cow and calf, which
had been caught In the. deep snow
by the storm. Since then no trace of
him has beon found. As he came over
from Weston Mountain, he was nt
missed by the rlver ranchers with
whom his relatives thought he was
staying. Finally, alarmed at his pro
longed absence, a brother started this
morning to eewrrh for him.
The riderless horse still saddled and
with Ita bridle caught In the brush,
was found standing near the mouth of
the canyon, whore he had apparently
bee-n since Tuesday morning.
His tracka were retraced to where
a great snowslide had obliterated the
trail and filled the. canyon. Hero they
stopped and though the precipitous
slide of the canyon aero scoured for
miles, not' another trace of Narkaus
could he found.
It Is believed the young stockman
was caught In the slide, which his
horse's walking had started and was
carried 60 yards down the cliff and
burled at the bottom of the canyon.
Men with shovels will begin digging
for tha body at daylight.

IXTASIOX PLAN WIDESPREAD
Raid for Food by "Workers" In
California Stopped Xear Inception
LOS ANGELES. Jan. 11. (Special.)-
It transpires that the plans of the In
dustrial Workers of the World at El
Centro to invade Lower California
were more elaborate than at first was
supposed. They were bound on this
expedition, it Is said, when Intercepted
by Sheriff Meadowa and his deputies
at Coyote Wells, and arrested for cattle-stealing.
Tha officers aay part of
the plan waa to surprise the county
rosd ramp In Devil's Canyon, release
the prleonera and induce thera to Join
the expedition, then to cross the inter
national line and Join forces with the
bands that have Infested tbe mountain
districts of Lower California alnce the
surrender of Tla Juana.
Preliminary examinations of J. W.
Stanford. Fred Nlles, Jamea Roberta
and T. M. Dodson. of tha band charged
with stock rustling and robbing stores,
resulted In their being sent to Jail In
default of bail. Three more of the
band Myron Marshall. Leo B. Mc
creary and Frank Zlnn appeared be
fore a Justice of the peace and pleaded
guilty to petty larceny, asking; lm
mediate sentence. t
Marshall, who is a rancher and who
amazed his friends by Joining the in
vading party, appeared deeply peni
tent. He said he had planned to be
married very soon and asked for
leniency, saying he had received a les
son which would serve to restrain him
from similar enterprises in the future.
He told the court that the camp of the
Industrial Workers was out of pro
visions, and when a leader called for
volunteers to go on a foraging ex
cursion. Marshall went. He acknowl
edged killing a hog belonging to one
ot tne ranchers near the camp. Mar-
rhall and McCreary were given 30 days
in Jail and nominal fines. Zlnn prob
ably will be placed oa probation, owing
to his youth. v

Proposal to GIto Same Schedule to
Points on Branch Lines as on
Main Traffic Arteries Meets
Strong Objection.
SALEM. Or.. Jan. 11. (Special.) At
tha final conference , which the Stata
Railroad Commission granted today
with the representatives of the O.-W.
R. & K. in the distance rate hearings.
It developed that the Oregon and Wash
ington Commissioners are hopelessly
apart in any move to secure a uniform
plan for the two states and that Gen
eral Traffic Manager Miller, of the
O.-W. R. & N. Is desirous of securing; a
uniform tariff, both state and Inter-
state, for all of the lines which he rep
resents.
The contention at the hearing; today
centered chiefly about the question of
the tariffs on the branch lines.
Objection was made to preparing; a
tariff which would give the same rates
to points on branch lines which are
equally distant from the seaboard to
points on the main line.
Early Declsloa Expected.
This question was gone into at
length. What the Commission will do
In this respect will not be known un
til the order is finally handed down,
which is expected In a comparatively
short time, the order being; delayed by
granting time for this conference,
which the Commission has announced
will be positively the last one granted.
Where the Oregon and Washington
Commissions seem to be unable to get
together on a uniform tariff is their
difference In ideas as to distance and
distributive tariffs. Tbe Washington
Commission la desirous of making- the
distance tariff the maximum tariff and
basing- the rates from that.
Uniform Tariff Favored'.
Traffic Manager Miller said em
phatically that he was desirous of see
ing all of the lines of road controlled
by the O.-W. R. & N. granted a uni
form tariff, both state and interstate.
There seems to be some conflicts be
tween the Commissions of the two
states as well as the Interstate Com
merce Commission relative to certain
rates and the basis for certain rates,
In particular between Portland and
Spokane and Puget Bound points and
Spokane.
Several difficulties have arisen in this
regard as well as in regard to those
points which wish to be distributing1
centers.
LINN FAIR DEBT LESSENS
Annual Event at Sclo to Be Held
September S,"4, 5 and 6.
SCIO. Or., Jan. 11. (Special.! The
dates set for the Linn County Fair this
year are September 3. 4. 5 and 6. For
a time last Fall It looked doubtful
whether or not there would be a fair
this year, as there was an Indebtedness
of several hundred dollars, due to a
smaller attendance and to unusually
heavy premium awards. But as several

What Winter Does
to Woman's Beauty
("Parislenne" In Woman's Journal.)
"Wind and cold weather roughen,
redden and chap the skin. The best
protection Is a home preparation made
by dissolving a small original package
of mayatone in half a pint of witch
hazel. Apply to face, neck and arms.
It will not rub off or show like pow
der, and it makes the skin soft, smooth
and satiny.
"If you now have chaps or cold sores,
apply Mother's Salve before retiring. It
Is antiseptic and healing and is a splen
did remedy for pimples, eczema, sores
and all skin afflictions.
"Dry shampooing is preferred to
washing the head, because all wet
shampoos make the hair dry, brittle
and colorless. To make a dry shampoo
put a cupful of corn meal, in a fruit
Jar. add the contents of an original
package of therox and shake together
well. Sprinkle a spoonful on the head
and brush through the hair, and the
scalp and hair will be clean and sweet.
It leaves the hair light, fluffy and
beautifullr lustrous.'
