Lad Who Confesses. to Slay
ing Stepfather Anxious to
Show His Grave.
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.

air whistle to warn the approaching
crew, which,' hearing the signals, took
a sidetrack.- The fog was so heavy
that the streetcars ran slowly to pre
vent rear-end collisions.

OREGON DAY IS OBSERVED
Ajrricultnral College Joins In Home
Industries Campaign.
. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, .Nov. 22. (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

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.

Half-Mill Assessment.

Statistics of Traffic That Might Be

'Being Compiled for Infor

, VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 22. (Spe'

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

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.

Won, Redmond Says.
Nottingham, England, Nov. 22.
The unusual- spectacle of Liberal and
Nationalist leaders on the same plat
form at a political meeting was wit
nessed tonight, when Premier Asquith
and John Redmond addressed a great
audience here on home rule. The Pre
mier also dealt with the war in the Bal
kans and other questions of the day.
Fears of a suffragette outbreak re
sulted in the most complete prepara
tions to preserve peace ever taken here.
Almost the entire police force was on
duty In the hall and its neighborhood,
and a large body of officers were held
In reserve in the basement of the build
ing. War Treated Diplomatically.
Mr. Asquith's reference to the war
was diplomatic and threw no new light
on the situation. 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. ,
