CONVICTION IS DOUBTFUL Officers Say Self-Defcns Would Be Surriclent Reason for Acquittal, but Later Blows Are Damaging Feature. OREGOX CITY, Nov. 22. (Special.) Glenn E. Gault. the 19-year-old rancher, who driven by remorse and the plead ing's of his mother. Thursday night surrendered In Tortland confessing to the murder of his stepfather. D. beltzel, near Scott's mills, was self- eomnosed and 8DrarentIy happy when brought to this city today by Sheriff Mass. The lad repeated the story of the killing, giving new details, ana insisted that he be allowed to go with the authorities to his home to point out the grave of the man he killed and assist in exhuming the body. The boy, Sheriff Mass. Coroner Wilson and Assessor Jack will go to Scott's- Mills tomorrow, starting at 6 A. M. They expect to return late tomorrow night or early Sunday morning and will bring the body with them. "1 killed my stepfather in self-defense," tald the boy. "He had skinned mother out of 400 and every time I mentioned the money he threatened me. ' When I mentioned it the last time he had a knife In. his hand, and said he would cut my heart out. at the same time making a lunge at me with the knife. ' Side of Ax t urd Saya Gault. T was cutting wood and struck him on ' the head with the side of the ax. 1 did not intend to kill him, but he suffered so much I thought H best to end the Job. I struck him twice more before he Sed. Then I was in a quandary. I did not know whether to tell the neighbors what I had done or get rid of the body. Finally I de cided to bury the body. My mother frequently asked me if I had killed my stepfather declaring that she did not believe he had gone away with a stranger with whom he was engaged In a land deal in Eastern Oregon. "When I left home to go to work on the milk ranch at Astoria my mother again asked me to admit the killing, in case I was guilty. I refused then but the thing preyed upon my mind until I decided the only way I could relieve my conscience was to surrender and make a confession." Later Blows Bad Feature. Sheriff Mass said today that the only witness against the boy was the lad himself. If he sticks to his story of self-defense and no other witnesses are obtained, it is doubtful if be can be convicted. The worst feature of his story, the authorities say, is the admission that after rendering his stepfather uncon- serious, he delivered two more blows. County Judge Beatie, who was Sheriff when the crime was committed, said he was told several days later that the man had disappeared, but It was sup posed he had gone to Eastern Oregon.

(Special) EXHUME The observance of "Home Industries day by convocation struck a respon sive chord at Oregon Agricultural Col lege Thursday and the gymnasium was crowded to its capacity by the student body,. which thus evidenced its indorse ment of the movement to put into gen eral practice the doctrine of Oregon made goods for Oregonians. State Sen ator R. A. Booth, of Eugene, delivered the convocation address, telling the stu dents of the Agricultural College what great possibilities will-open to the citi zens of Oregon by developing the re sources of the state through the use, of Oregon products. "No citizen of Oregon can disregard the Injunction of the Governor's proc lamation and heed the state's best in terests." said 'Senator Booth. "It may seem like a commonplace thing to urge our citizens to the use of Oregon grown, Oregon-made articles, but it is fundamental to our success as a com munity that Beeks wealth and comfort. "To guard against undue importation Is elemental in Its economic force, and therefore is' a patriotic duty. The greatest stimulus to continued and better effort is the success of effort exerted at home. 'Home comforts from the home-land' might well become our slogan. If a resident of Oregon asks COMMISSIONERS OF LEFT TO RIGHT, GEORGE 'M'COY, UCjUAU E bread from any but Oregon flour, he might better be given a stone." WEBBER FOUND GUILTY MURDER IX SECOXD DEGREE JS VERDICT AT ST. HELEN'S. Defendant, Who Is 70 Years of Age, Slays James Corrin ' After Quarrel in Boat. ST. HELENS, Or., Nov. 22. (Special.) The jury In the case of George Web ber, charged with the murder of James Corrin on August 3, 1912, tonight re turned a verdict of murder in the sec ond degree. Three ballots were taken. On the first, eight Jurymen were for murder in the first degree; three for second degree and one for acquittal. The case was tried before Judge Camp bell in the Circuit Court here. The case was given to the Jury late this afternoon. Webber is nearly 70 years old. and has lived in a boat house in the Wil lamette Slough for a number of years. On August 3, while In company with James Corrin on a return trip from St. Helens to their homes, some trouble arose and Webber stabbed Corrin, tied a rope around the neck and took the body down the river some distance and anchored It to a tree. Several days later the disappearance of Corrin was noticed by neighbors and search was instituted with the result that Webber and several others came to St. Helens and reported the disap pearance to the officers. Webber was the last man seen with Corrin and he was suspected of know ing something of his whereabouts, but he maintained that he knew nothing about him, except that on the night when they were together some per sons unknown to him had entered his boat while his back was turned and struck Corrin a blow on the head then threw him overboard and he was un able to return to the scene. After several days of close question ing and the discovery of the body tied to a tree near the Saline landing, Web ber finally admitted that it was Cor rin with whom he had the trouble and in the scuffle had used a knife made from a file and struck Currin with it, but had failed to return to see what had 'become of him. Webber offered several defenses to the charge of murder, among them be ing ' self-defense and insanity. The testimony on the part of the defense was from Beveral citizens, who have known Webber for several years. These testified that Webber is insane, but sane enough at all times to dis tinguish between right and wrong. RAILWAY WORK IS PUSHED Additional Men Pnt On at Eugene and Supplies Are Arriving.

GOVERNMENT AID SOUGHT Statistics of Traffic That Might Be Diverted to Columbia River 'Being Compiled for Infor mation of Officials. , VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 22. (Spe' oial.) The Port of Vancouver Commis sioners, George McCoy, chairman, Wll- PORT OF VANCOUVER. s t as. CHAIRMAN; WILLIAM B. DUBOIS. Mjfm iva am. Ham ft. DuBois and George W. Lampka, have levied an assessment of one-half mill for this district, which includes an of the City of Vancouver and a little additional territory. This will provide enough money to start the work of se curing a survey, and assisting the Gov ernment in deepening the channel of the Columbia River. The Commission recently received a communication from the Government asking for statistics relating to the amount of products and commerce that is here and could be diverted ' here when the river is deepened to 27 feet. The Commissioners have written to and called on many of the heavy -shippers and Importers in the county, asking figures on the amount of shipping they do annually. The replies will be tabu lated and forwarded to the proper au thorities. Chairman Experts Aid. Chairman McCoy, In speaking of the chances of getting the Columbia River channel lmprovedi and the probability of the Government lending assistance, said:' "I am thoroughly convinced that we will get the necessary aid from the Government, as we are getting statis tics to prove that we need a deeper channel from the mouth of the Willam ette River to Vancouver. "Had the' river been opened to 27 feet last June, the two Government trans ports, which were compelled to go to Portland to dock, could have been taken care of at the Government dock here, and the troops would not have had to cross the river by Bpeclal trains. All of the equipment of the First Infantry bound for Honolulu, and all of the bag gage of the Twenty-first Infantry, com ing from the Philippine Islands, had to be unloaded from the transports, re loaded to trains, Tbrought across the river, and unloaded again on the reser vation, entailing heavy expense. And there are many other boats of big ton nage that do not come to Vancouver because at a point about 3800 feet be low the big steel drawbridge it is too shallow to permit it. We firmly be lieve that when we show the Govern ment that we are willing' to do our share we will get aid.". McCoy Speakership Candidate. Mr. McCoy was recently elected to the State Legislature and he will prob ably be a candidate for Speaker of the House. There is no salary attached to the Commlssionership, but there is plenty of work. Mr. Lampka a lew years ago Dougnt a tract of land east .of the garrison and platted it, adding a valuable addition to the city. He was until recently in the. implement business. William B. DuBois, the third Commis sioner, is a member of the DuBois Lum ber Company, an old established firm of this city. He Is a brother of Lloyd DuBois, president of . the Vancouver Commercial Club, and president of the Washington Exchange Bank, of this city. LAWSON'SPAYOOUBTFUL XEW PRISOX OFFICIAL MAY DRW OXLY $1600. Among Early Duties of Penitentiary Head Will Be Execution of Five Prisoners. SALEM, Or., Nov. 22. (Special.) Whether Colonel B. K. Lawson, the new head of the State Penitentiary, will receive 12000 a year, the statutory salary provided for the superintendent, or whether he will receive but the $1600, the salary of the warden, is a question which Governor West says he has not decided. "In fact I never thought of it before," was his com ment. When Warden Curtis was promoted first to the Joint superlntendency and wardenshlp and then, when legal com' plications threatened, to the superin tendency, the Governor announced that he would remain on the warden's salary as he believed the office of superintendent should be abolished and that the prison could be run without the extra official. This is another reason for bellevelng that Lawson's position there may be short-lived. The Governor has said several times that he contemplates recommending to the State Legislature abolition of tine office of superinten dent. Colonel Lawson has arrived in the city and has been going over the work at the prison with the Governor ana Warden Bengen. It Is probable that Colonel Lawson will not go on the payroll of the state until December 1. Among other duties it .will devolve upon him to officiate at the execution of the five condemned prisoners who are to die in December. EIGHT AFTER IDAHO TOGA Edgar A.

POLICE KEEP GUARD Asquith Well Protected From Attacks by Suffragettes.

Recalling his speech in London November 2, in which he made the statement that he believed It to be the "unanimous opinion of Europe that the victors are not to be robbed of the victories that cost them so dearly," Mr. Asquith said: "I endeavored to define In precise and clear terms the attitude of this coun try and the great powers with refer ence to the war which is raging in Eastern Europe. That attitude has not, as far as I know, been in any way changed or modified. We are anxious to stop further effusion of blood be tween the combatants, and even more anxious to limit or circumscribe the field of possible conflicts. The powers are working together to that end. Powers Will Co-Operate. "We are satisfied there Is no devia tion of wish or purpose in that co-operative policy of all the powers. There may be certain questions which in the best interest of peace and ultimate sta bility it may be possible to reserve to deal with when the time comes for a general and definite settlement." . Pledging the Liberal party to con tinue its efforts for home rule, Mr. As quith declared he would not be dis couraged by any passing incidents, but was determined to proceed with the fight to the end. John Redmond, in his address, said home rule was on the eve of final vic tory. He declared that the National ists would support other features of the Liberal programme. , SHOT FOLLOWS BOAST 'HUMAN FIGHTING MACHINE" UNDER ARREST. J. R.
