GRAND JURY NEXT TO ACT
George Dodd, Dead, Formerly Em
ployed and Befriended by Henry,
Be Says, as lie Talks of Crime
In Choking Voice.
ALBANY, Or., Nov. 1. (Special.)
Ralph Henry, of Newport, who shot and
killed George Dodd at Corvallis last
night, tralved examination when ar
raigned here today on a charge of mur
der In the first degree.
Justice of the Peace Swan held him
to await the action of the grand' jury
witnout bail.
As the raft In the Willamette River
on which the shooting took place wa
on the Linn County side of the stream.
Henry will be tried in this county. It
is probable the trial will take place In
February or March.
X Effort Made ta Escape.
Henry was brought to this city and
placed In the Unn County Jail this
morning. After the shooting last night
he remained on the raft and made no
effort to escape. He was arrested by
Marshal Wells, of Corvallis.
Coroner Kortmiller brought Dodd's
body here. He found that Dodd was
not shot in the head at all, as at first
reported. There are only two wounds
on the body. One bullet struck him in
the breast, a little to the left of the
center, but missing the heart, and
ranged diagonally across his body,
coming out under the right shoulder
blade. The other wound is In his right
hand, but from Its appearance it Is be
lieved that this wound was made by
the same bullet.
Back of the shooting is the old story
of Dodd's relations with the slayer's
wife. But in this case the aggrieved
husband did not shoot when he first
discovered the relations in the case nor
yet when his wife left him and brought
suit for divorce. The shooting did not
come until the dead man broke up a
reconciliation, which had been effected
between the husband and wife, accord
ing to the story Henry told in the Linn
County Jail here today.
Tears Came to Heary.
It was with considerable emotion that
Henry, who presents a splendid ap
pearance, told his story. He did not
display any special emotion when
speaking of the actual shooting, though
he said little about It, apparently avoid
ing a discussion of the details of the
culmination of the trouble. But when
he referred to his wife and the trouble
Dodd Is said to have caused in his home
and especially when he falked of his
children, his voice broke repeatedly
and tears streamed down his cheeks.
"George Dodd came to Newport last
Spring." said Henry, "and I employed
him as powder man in soma work I
was doing on grading contracts. I
I don't know where he came from or
much about him before he came to
Newport. He worked until Decoration
day, when he went out hunting with
my stepson, my wife's oldest boy. and
the boy accidentally shot bim in the
arm. Dodd was laid up for some time,
but I kept him on the. pay-roll and paid
all his bills. A woman, who claimed
to be his sister, came there with her
two children and as they were without
money I took care of them, too."
After Dodd recovered from his injury
he resumed work, but it appears that
while Dodd was unable to work friendly
relations developed between Dodd and
Mrs. Henry. Henry says he didn't hear
of this situation for a long time, though
it was known to many others.
Henry said he couldn't give the date
when he first learned of this condition,
but said it was early in September, he
thought. When he was talking of the
beginning of his trouble he was over
come with emotion several times, so
could not remember dates clearly.
Waasaa Keat Pareata.
Broken-hearted at the condition of
affairs. Henry told his wife to take the
youngest of their four children, a boy
4 years old. and go to her parents at
Kddyville. Mrs. Henry is a daughter
of Mr. Eddy, for whom the station of
Kddyville. on the Corvallis A Eastern
Railroad Is named. This Mrs. Eddy did
and her husband says that it was his
understanding she was to stay there.
Later he learned that she had gone to
Corvallis. where Dodd had secured em
ployment in the preliminary construc
tion work on the Benton County bridge
across the Willamette River at that
oltr. After going to Corvallis, Mrs.
Henry instituted divorce proceedings
against her husband.
Henry went to Corvallis once to see
his baby boy and also talked to his
wife. At that time there was soma talk
of a reconciliation.
"I went to Eddyville and talked to
her people and also talked to my
friends In Newport and decided that be
cause of the children and because she
had always been a good woman until
he met this man Dodd I would take
her back. I went to Corvallis Wednes
day for this purpose. She agreed to
come back and I decided I would sell
out everything at Newport and take her
and the children to some new place,
forget our trouble and begin life over
again."
Wife Costfeaaea Power of. Dodd.
Yesterday Henry found out that Dodd
had seen Mrs. Henry that night. When
be met his wife yesterday afternoon
she said she wanted to do right-but
confessed that Dodd had her in his
power. Henry , then sought out Dodd
and shot him.
Henry- has lived at Newport the past
six years and Fred Dawson, an Albany
druggist, who has a store at Newport
and passes some time each year there,
says he bears a splendid reputation.
Henry and his wife have four children
and his wife has four children by a
former marriage.- Henry's children are
all- boys, the two oldest being twins,
8 years of age. and the other two boys
being younger. Henry is 37 years of
age.
Little is known of Dodd at Newport.
He had every appearance of being a
foreigner, probably an Italian, though
it Is not known that such is the case.

LAW BAFFLES SOLDIERS
ACT IXCREASIXG PENSION MAY
NOT BE DESIRABLE.
Veterans Having Right to More Than
$20 Unless Feeble, May Lose
Right to Stay in Home.
SALEM. Or.. Nov. 1. (Special.)
Veterans at the Oregon Soldiers' Home,
at Roseburg, entitled to an increase of
120 monthly in their pensions are on
tenterhooks over the result of applica
tions which have been made to Gov
ernor West.
The rules of the Soldiers' Home Is
based upon the act of February 6, 1907,
the maximum pension provided by
which for veterans of the Mexican and
Civil Wars Is $20 a month and It has
been the custom at the home not to
continue soldiers there when their pen
sions were increased to exceed that
amount. Since the passage of the act
of May 11. 1912. which provides a maxi
mum pension of $30 a month and under
the provisions of which most of the In
mates of the Roseburg home will be
able to secure a pension In excess of
$20 per month, many perplexing ques
tions have arisen.
It appears that the Oregon Legisla
ture makes the rules for the home and
the next session of that body probably
will so change them that the needy and
sick veterans In the home will be en
abled to secure their Increase of pen
sion under the new law to add to the
comfort of themselves and dependent
ones and yet remain in the home. This
matter has been called to the attention
of Representative W. C. Hawley by a
number of the veterans and others in
terested in the matter.
Mr. Hawley took the matter up with
Governor West, urging a modification
of the usual practice to meet the new
conditions and Is in receipt of a letter
from the Governor In which he states
that he has conferred with W. W. Elder,
commandant of the Oregon Soldiers'
Home. Governor West assures Mr.
Hawley that he will be pleased to make
a favorable recommendation to the Ore
gon Legislature in this matter.

HAWLEY TO HURRY
LOCK QUESTION
Speedy Acquisition by Govern
ment -of Oregon City
Property Plan.
M'COURT TO AID IN WORK
Uncle Sam, It Is Hoped, May Soon
Get Title So That Shippers Will .
No Longer Be Inconvenienced
by Paying Expensive Tolls.
SALEM. Or., Nov. 1. (Special.)
Representative Hawley has taken up
with United -States Attorney McCourt.
at Portland, the matter of the speedy
acquisition by the Government of the
locks at Oregon City at the falls of
the Willamette River. It seems to
have been the general Impression that
since the Government and the State of,
Oregon had provided the necessary
funds for the purchase of the existing
locks and their repair, there would be
no further delay in the passing of the
title to the United States.
. Mr. Hawley found upon Inquiry that
persons using the lo.cks were still sub
jected to the usual tolls, and ne set
about to determine the cause and urge
expedition In the transaction, so that
shiDners could have an open river and
a reduction of freight rates during the
busy season, which is. now well under
way. Mr. McCourt advises Mr. tiawiey
that the Portland Railway. Light &
Power Company some time recently
submitted an abstract of its titles to
the lands sought to be acquired by the
Government, but that upon examina
tion of the abstracts it was found tnat
most of the land embraced in the prop
erty to be conveyed to the Government
had been at some time included in plat
ted townsites and that the plats there
of had never been placed on record.
As the descriptions in the several
conveyances referred to the tracts by
lots and blocks within these townsites,
it was Impossible to determine
whether the land sought to be con
veyed extended over the land covered
by the locks.
The United States Attorney returned
the abstracts to the company with the
request that the 'original plats of these
townsites be secured or a survey made
that would definitely Identify the prop
erty. The company has complied witn
this request as far as possible, but a
number of defects are yet supposed to
exist, these being largely Incurable and
probably rendered of no importance, as
the company has had exclusive posses
sion of the property for a number of
years, so that complete title under the
statute of limitations as a matter of
law has probably vested, so the War
Department probably will accept tne
titles in spite or the delects.
The Government Is most careful
about the title to land which It seeks
to purchase, but Mr. Hawley has tne
assurances of Mr. McCourt that the
matter will be rushed as rapidly- as
possible, and It Is hoped that the Gov
ernment may soon now take over the
control and operation of the locks, so
that shippers may use them without
navlnsr the expensive tolls to which
they have been accustomed. .
QUALIFICATION IS DECIDED
Attorney-General's Office Settles
Points of Law at Issue.
SALEM. Or.. Nov. 1. (Special.) That
the only qualification a woman has to
vote in a school election Is the owning
of property in her own name is the
substance of an opinion handed down
by Assistant Attorney-General De Long
for Mrs. p. E. BrocKway, or Trenholm.
Or. Mrs. Brockway desired to know
if her signature on deeds and owner
ship of property jointly with her hus
band gave her tne right to vote at
school elections.
- For Game Warden Finley the Assist
ant Attorney-General held that the for
mer statute In relation to the dispo
sition of fines by a Justice of the Peace
is In a measure abrogated by the new
statute. Under the old statute the costs
were paid out of the fine money and
the' balance turned over to the County
Treasurer. Under the new statute half
of the fine is paid to the informer.and
half is turned over to the County
Treasurer and he pays for costs and
disbursements out of the money that
eoes into the treasury. As far as this
statute conflicts with the earlier stat
ute it repeals it. according to the
opinion rendered.
CROPS ABSORB POLITICS
Morrow County Interested Only In
Taft and Selling.
HEPPNER. Or., Nov. 1. (Special.)
This has been by far the most quiet
campaign in the history of Morrow
County. This can be accounted for in
part from the fact that the farmers
have been so busy taking care of their
crops and seeding for next year that
they have had no time to devote to
politics and as a rule they seem to take
but little Interest In the present cam
paign. Taft for President and Selling
for Senator will carry Morrow County
by a good vote and outside of that no
one seems to be interested.
The Bull Moosers have no organiza
tion, in this county and have made no
attempt to make any. Only five Bull
Moose buttons have been observed ana
two of these were outspoken Taft men
who were wearing them for a Joke.

Let California and Washington
Experiment for Us
California and Washington, at our very doors, have graciously agreed to
experiment for us with ballots for women. If it proves to work well, its
most ardent opponents will only too gladly welcome it to Oregon. On the
other hand, if it shall prove, as its opponents claim, a burden to women and
destructive rather than helpful to government, its most vehement advocates
will be only too glad that Oregon shall have avoided its adoption.
No one will deny that the giving of the ballot to women is an experiment.
Its partisans are confident that its results will be beneficent. Its opponents
are equally certain of the reverse result. Only time can tell which is right.
' .
Meantime it is a fact, without an exception probably in history, that suf
frage once widened to include any class or element in the body politic, has
never been known to be subsequently restricted to again eliminate such part
of the electorate thus added, no matter how unwisely. In short, the burden of
suffrage once placed upon women will never be removed. And we are voting
altogether in the dark as to its probable results. v
If a few years shall prove it a success among our neighbors and the fears
of its opponents groundless, it can be easily adopted and doubtless will meet
with unanimous favor. In the meantime we are losing nothing. There is no
crying immediate need for this reform. Let us watch Washington and Cali
fornia. Oregon has sufficient of experiment already on its hands in the
ballot way. . -

Read What Millie R. Trumbull
Says of W. H. Fitzgerald
You mothers of girls know Millie R.
Trumbull: she has a high place, of
esteem In this town: she probably
wouldn't lie about a man's character, or
seek to force a reprobate on the public.
She knows Fitzgerald as a man and
good citizen. Here is what she says
about him:
At various times during the past few
weeks the newspapers have given space
to editorials and articles which take
one back to the times of old "mud
slinging" politics. Mr. W. H. Fitz
gerald, candidate for Sheriff on the
Republican ticket,-has been accused of
F.ossessing all the attributes of disso
ute character that his associates be
inn in thA ranks of the anti-social
class that his morality is questionable,
etc., until the average reader would
come to the conclusion that he has no
standards either as a man or a citizen.
What Mr. Fitzgerald's political affilia.
tlons are I do not know, but I do know
Fitzgerald the man. I have known
him and watched him as a worker and
leader in organised labor ranks for a
number of years. His leadership Is
that of positive conviction, quiet, self
contained, conservative, very far from
t)i rantlne radicalism so Donularly
associated with union labor leaders in
the minds of the ignorant. His execu
tive ability is unquestioned, as evi
denced by the number of times he has
filled office In his own union and In the
State Federation of Labor.
A rigid enforcement of the laws on
the statute books is the bast we can
expect of any official, and to this Mr.
Fitzgerald has pledged himself. If we
want different conditions, we must
change the laws.
As to his personal character, I have
never: known him to be other than
clean, straightforward, honest man, al
ways fighting for better living and
working conditions for the man. woman
and child who must work for their
daily bread: always ready to lend his
influence for progressive measures that
were for the uplift of humanity. It Is
painful to read the aspersions against
the personal character of a man who
has sacrificed for his principles as has
Mr. Fitzgerald, merely because those
principles are not Indorsed. This man
has a wife and children and a home,
and these should not be humiliated sim
ply because of a difference of opinion in
economics. Honest defeat is one thing,
but defeat is not honest which is
brought about through methods which
are unscrupulous and through false
accusations which blacken character
