WASHINGTON. Auk. 20. Represen
tative Norrls. of Nebraska. Introduced
a resolution today requesting the Pres
ident to send to the House all informa
tion he has regarding the case of James
Wood Rogers, a Californian, who was
killed in the Central African jungles
as the result of a hunt of British sol
diers who were ordered to kill or cap
ture him. The resolution was referred
to the foreign affairs committee.
Full Facts Are Wanted.
The resolution follows:
"Resolved. That the President of the
United States be and he Is hereby re
quested, if not incompatible with the
public interest, to transmit to the
House of Representatives all Informa
tion that may be in his possession or
in the possession of the Department of
State in regard to the killing of James
W. Rogers, an American citixen. by
British soldiers in Africa, and to in
form the House of Representatives
what action, if any. has been taken or
Is contemplated to Investigate theklll
ing of the said James W. Rogers.";
Representative Sulier. of New York,
chairman of the foreign affairs com
mittee, communicated with the State
Department and was advised that the
department was investigating the mat
ter and that all the facts obtained
would be furnished to the committee.
Shooting Regarded Outrage.
Mr. Norris said he regarded the
shooting as an outrage on an Ameri
can citizen eo far as available infor
mation shows. He said it seemed that
Rogers, an American, charged with of
fenses that did not warrant killing
him. was fatally shot under Ironclad
orders of the British government car
ried out on Belgian soil. At the State
Department, which has no direct infor
mation of the tragedy, it was said that
the House resolution would have to be
made the basis of an Inquiry directed
to the American Embassy in London.
The Embassy, it was said, would have
no difficulty in securing access to the
report of the British surgeon on the
tragedy.
Regarding the right of British sol
diers to kill a poacher without trial,
officials of the State Department would
express no opinion.
Belgium May Be Involved.
The question reported to have been
raised by Rogers as he was dying, of
the right of the British troops to at
tack him on Belgian soil, complicates
the case, though the issue Involved
would appear to concern Great Britain
and Belgium, according to unofficial
opinions of department heads.
If it should appear, they pointed out,
that Rogers was killed in Belgian ter
ritory and there was any ground for
demanding redress, the United States
might look to Belgium Instead of Great
Britain for justice, leaving Belgium to
seek reparation from Great Britain.

LITTLE GIRMS MURDERED
Continued from First Page.)
other than a few convulsive movements
of the arms.
There is hardly a clew to how the
murderer entered the house and a
bucket of potatoes holding the rear
screen door open only tells how he left.
When Mr. Green arose this morning he
says he noticed the door one-third open
and a bucket of potatoes holding the
screen door back. Entrance may have
been made the same way, as the screen
door was found unlatched and a broken
glass in the door would have made
possible the turning of the key after a
cloth had been turned aside.
The grieved father believes the mur
derer was concealed somewhere with
in the house when he locked the doors
for the night and sent his daughter to
bed at 10:30 o'clock.
Child Fatber'a Favorite.
The girl victim was comely, a favor
ite of her father's and an almost in
valuable helper and assistant. For sev
eral hours early Monday evening she
had entertained a few girl friends who
came to the house to use the telephone.
At 10:30 o'clock .or thereabouts she
climbed on her father's knee,-read the
evening scripture lesson, kissed him a
childish good night and in her snowy
white night dress, her eoft locks float
ing down her back had sauntered oft
into the corner of the house where she
slept.
As the prostrated father views It
now, the demon lay hidden somewnere
about as the child knelt before the
white spreads of the destined death
hed and reseated her last prayers. Mr.
Green In another room, sat and read
as he heard the bed creak and the
lithe-form tumble Into its resting place
among the downy coverlets.
For several hours he sat there and
at midnight retired.
This morning, the horrible dawning
of what had transpired in tne iew
hours that intervened between mid
night and 5 o'clock offered a piteable
contrast.
Mr. Green, as is hi usual custom,
arose about 5 o'clock, started the fire,
and prepared for his breakfast and the
weekly washing. Several times he had
called the child, as was his custom.
When she failed to respond the last
time, he started for her room. As he
ascended the stairs and approached her
room he saw the dainty leg hanging
over the edge of the bed. A second
step toward the door revealed a shock
ing Bight. There in a pool .of blood
gleaming under the rays of the morn
ing sunlight, lay the beloved ehild, her
dainty and fair features set firm in
the last death struggle, the mellow
like hair floating off across the blood
stained bed coverlets and her scant
night clothes torn and- distorted.
Father Call Neighbor.
Whether the girl in terror had
started to spring from the bed and was
forcibly thrown back or whether she
was slain Instantly as she slept
beneath the sheets and later pulled
from beneath by the assassin tne coro
ner's Jury was unable to determine
today. One thing is evident. The as
sassin killed the girl and when she
was dying and after the life spark had
been utterly extinguished violated tno
youthful body. This fact has been
brought out by physicians and surgeons
who have examined the body.
When the crime was discovered by
the father this morning he rushed in
terror to the house of neighbors. With
them he entered the room for the sec
ond time to establish what he hoped
was a vision. When he realized for
the second time that his daughter had
been the victim of an inconceivable
outrage he lost control and was taken
In charge by the neighbors. Later he
became frantic and care is being ex
ercised to prevent his mental torture
becoming fatal.
At the inquest in the afternoon he
was able to give a comparatively co
herent account of the crime as he dis
covered it. He related how he had
taken his daughter to Junction Clty
with him on Saturday, how she had sat
through the sermon which he preached
there Sunday and had returned again
with him to his modest little Sixth
street home Monday evening. He re
lated anew the songs he carelessly
chanted while he was busying himself
about the house that evening and the
carefree prattle of the child on the
eve of her death. He rehearsed the
usual evening scripture reading before
she went to her bed, the good-night
kiss and all. ,
Ntfro Is Sought.
A most pathetic part of his story of
the crime is the fact that during the
early morning hours before he had
discovered the girl, and while she lay
in the pool of blood, he was working
In the kitchen and lower floor of the
house, singing and anxiously awaiting
her coming, when they could break
fast together.
With the awful aspect of the crime
fully realized Eugene has set about to
run down the slayer. Bloodhounds are
being imported and , every crevice
through which the murderer could es
cape is being sewed up.
That the crime was committed by a
negro, who hid in the fruit cellar first
and later in the clothes closet off the
victim's room. Is more firmly believed
by the authorities tonight after a day
of search. The hounds have been baf
fled in their scent on the outside by
the many footprints in the garden and
home grounds caused by vlslors to the
scene of the tragedy. The authorities
hope, however, to get the dogs on a
true scent before morning.
R. Morgan, a brakeman on a work
train, notified the authorities from
Roseburg today that he saw a negro
attempt to catch a train as it left Eu
gene this morning at 6 o'clock. He
said the negro failed to get aboard
and dodged under a warehouse. Mor
gan says he can Identify the negro.
He will return to Eugene tomorrow to
assist the officers.
Night clerks in the postoffice say
they saw a man. supposely a negro,
rush for a train, and while they have
only an outline of his form, may be
able to lend valuable assistance to the
officers.
Rev. Mr. Green and his family came
to Eugene from Iowa 11 years ago.
Mrs. Green died in 1909, after a linger
ing illness with cancer, and since then
the three daughters have kept house
for their father and brother. The other
children are Rhoda, Paul and Lois, who
have been visiting In St. Louis. They
will arrive In several days.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 20. The war
I over. San Francisco is safe. From
early morning until 2 o'clock this
afternoon the red army of-Invasion and
the blue army of defense engaged in
httle near Covote. about 75 miles south
of this city, in the Santa Clara Valley.
The chief umpire blew his whistle at
2 o'clock, declared it a drawn battle
and the war was officially at an end.
The maneuvers, which were under
the direction of Brigadier-General
Walter S. Schuyler, U. S. A., were ar
ranged to work out the problem
whether a foreign foe landing on the
shores of Monterey Bay could march
northward and capture San Francisco.
Regnlara Defend City.
The forces that comprised the army
of invasion, known as the reds, under
the command of Brigadier-General
Robert Wankowiskl, of the National
Guard of California, were composed
of guardsmen of this state and Utan.
The blue army of defense was com
posed mostly of regiments of the
regular Army with a few guardsmen
from Utah and the cavalry of the Na
tional Guard of this state.
The maneuvers began ten days ago
and the two forces advanced toward
Coyote by easy stages. A force of the
blue army commanded Dy L.oionei .
H. C. Brown, U. S. A., had been driven
from Presidio Monterey by the red
army and impeded Its advance. This
small force harrassed the reds until
the day preceding the battle and last
night Joined the main Army.
Defense Almost Impregnable.
Army experts said after the battle
that the blue army naa occupies sucu
a ctrnnr strategic Dositlon that an
army six times as large as that of
the reds could not nave nroxen iniuusu
th lines and marched on ban J? ran
Cisco. Such an attempt would have
resulted in the red army's Deing

The blue army was under' the com
mind of Colonel Cornelius Gardener,
Sixteenth Infantry, U. S. A. The chief
umpire of the maneuvers was lieutenant-Colonel'
