did not stop in San Francisco, but came

Angeles the evening of July 2. arriv

they stopped at the Capitol Hotel over
night. They left Sacramento by way
of Davis on July 4 on the Shasta Lim

"The suggestion that Mr. Innes had
something to do with the note claimed
to have been writtten by Mrs. Dennis
about July 3 Is almost too absurd to
merit notice, as Mr. Innes did and
could have had nothing to do there

Mr. Innes emphatically denies the
same. '
JUSTICE LURTDN
DIES SUDDENLY
-I did not get any money from Mrs.
Dennis except what she paid me for
my services In procuring her divorce.
I haven't seen her since I acted as her
attorney in Carson City."
Victor E. Innes, former Deputy Dis
trict Attorney in Nevada, and rvhose
name has been mentioned in connec
tion with the disappearance of Eloise
Nelms Dennis and her sister, Beatrice
Nelms. from Atlanta, tia.. rather
wearily reiterated this statement yes
terday. Mr. Innes, declaring he was tired of
the notoriety he was getting through
this case yesterday consulted W. M.
Cake and former United States Dis
trict Attorney McCourt. After this he
refnsed to make any statement what
ever, saying that his attorneys would
do all the talking for him.
Action has been taken by the Police
Department on the telegram from
Chief of Police White, of San Fran
cisco, asking that Innes be questioned.
Last night Mr. Innes and Mr. McCourt
were with Detective Joe Day, in charge
of the Portland detective bureau at
night, and gave him the same state
ment given out to The Oregonian.
Crime Proof l.srklsg.
"We have nothing to arrest this
man for," said Captain of Detectives
Baty "We have received absolutely
no official advices of any crime with
which he has been charged, and we
have no evidence to hold him. In fact,
from the newspaper reports of the
affair it has not been proved that a
crime has been committed, much less
that Mr. Innes is guilty of any viola
tion of the raw."
"I'm not exactly Mr. Innes' attorney,"
said Mr. McCourt. "I'm just a sort
of 'buffer.' He is tired of the notoriety.
We made a statement to the detectives
identical with the one The Oregonian
has. Mr. Innes has told me his whole
story, and has asked me to answer all
questions for him.
"Was Mr. Innes ever in Atlanta?"
Mr. McCourt was asked.
"From April 15 to about May 8," re
plied the attorney, who later gave out
the intinerary in full.
In answer to other questions Mr.
McCourt said that Mrs. Dennis had sent
Innes a money order for $500 on Octo
ber 18. and that this money was in
payment for services In obtaining the
divorce. Two or three other sums were
telegraphed to him by Mrs. Dennis from
Atlanta. These, said Mr. McCourt, were
Tor repayment of loans made Mrs. Den
nis while she was getting her divorce.
Mr. McCourt, said Mr. Innes, denied
absolutely any knowledge of checks
said to aggregate $10,000, which were
alleged to have been patd to him by
Mra. Dennis for investment.
lanes' Statement Issued.
The statement issued by John Mc
Court, former United States District
Attorney, in behalf of Victor E. Innes,
and which was given to the police was
as follows:
"Mr. Innes was In the South from
about the first of March, 1914, for the
benefit of the failing health of Mrs.
Innes. Their trip included a visit for
several weeks to a daughter of Mra
Innes residing at Devine, Tex. They
also made visits to Memphis, Tenn.;
Bosedale, Miss.; Birmingham, Ala, and
stopped in Atlanta, Ga, from about
April 15 to about May 8. They re
turned to San Antonio, Tex., where they
contemplated locating, so that Mrs.
Innes might be in a climate agreeable
to her health, and live near her
daughter. They remained at the latter
place continuously from June 3 to June
28. when the heat became so oppres
sive that they concluded to locate in
Salt Lake City, Utah, and returned to
Portland, preparatory to moving to
Salt Lake.
"Mr. Innes djd not see Mrs. Eloise
Nelms Dennis, or any member of her
family on that trip or send to or
receive any communication from her
and knows absolutely nothing of her
present whereabouts or concerning her
absence from home.
Money Matters Recalled.
"He never had any business or other
transactions with Mrs. Dennis and
never received any money from her
except in relation to and growing out
f her divorce case. Mr. Innes has
Bet seen Mrs. Dennis since she left
Carson City Nev., about August, 1912,
after she had obtained a divorce there
and never at any time saw her mother
or sister or other members of her
family.
"While Mr. and Mrs. Innes were In
Atlanta, Mr. Innes did not see or visit
Mrs. Dennis or any member of her
family. Indeed, he understood that
Mra Dennis lived In Smyrna, some dis
tance from Atlanta. At that time Mra
Innes was quite 111 and bis whole time
was occupied In waiting upon her.
"A report has appeared In the paper
that Mr. Innes denied ever being In
Atlanta. Mr. Innes did' not make that
statement, but in answer to a telephone
inquiry as to whether he was In At
lanta in June of this year he answered:
'No,' which Is probably the basis of
that report.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 12. (Special.)
What may prove to be the first tang
ible clew to the whereabouts of Mrs.
Eloise Nelms Dennis was received to
night by the police, when the landlady
of the Mae wood Apartments here in
formed the police that a woman bear
ing a striking resemblance to the pub

a suitcase, and retired to her room at
once, after haggling over the price.
She remained until the morning oi
July 4, when she again asked for the
landlady and informed her that she had
obtained a position and intended to
leave. The mysterious lodger requested
that nsrt of the advance payment be
refunded, and, after receiving it, she
left.

VANCOUVER. Wash., July 12. (Spe

county and state office are busy and
the race for county offices will be a
wild scamper, with probabilities that
the number entered for nomination in
the primaries will be the greatest on

The campaign started early this year.
Candidates have gone out over the
county and it is said that hardly a

that the voters grow tired of so much

WASHINGTON, July 12. (Special.)
By the death of Justice Lurton, the
Democratic representation on the bench
Is reduced to two, Chief Justice White
and Associate Justice Lamar. It is as
sumed that a Democratic President will
feel Impelled under such circumstances
to name a Democrat to succeed Justice
Lurton. Furthermore, there has been
an unwritten rule in the Senate that
the minority representation on the Su
preme Court bench shall not fall below
three at any time. President Taft rec
ognized this ru!e when he named Jus
tice Lamar from Georgia for one of the
vacancies.
Taft's Ambition Discouraged.
This situation undoubtedly will con
front many eminent men of all shades
of political beliefs who would be glad
to see the President nominate ex-President
Taft as successor of Justice Lur
ton. Mr. Taft has had an ambition to serve
on the Supreme bench from the day he
entered the practice of law. He went
upon the Federal bench originally when
he was a young man in the hope that
he would reach the Supreme bench be
fore he closed his career.
Among those mentioned tonight were
Secretary Lane, of the Interior Depart

Frederick W. Lehmann, of St. Louis,

her favor. The $10,000,000. for the
Atrata route and the $10,000,000 was
evidently Intended more as liquidated
damages than as the price of the canal
route together with the value of the
reversionary interest in the railroad,
would amount to $26,000,000.
"But Mr. Dubois went further than
this and suggested arbitration of a
canal lease, which might have added
some $17,000,000 more, and then, upon
his own responsibility, in order to
sound Colombia as to her demand,
asked if she would consider $25,000,000
with the arbitration of the reversion-,
ary interest in the railroad and with
out granting any privileges whatever.
This question, while unauthorized,
could not but create in the minds of the
people of Colombia the idea that this
Government was willing to go further
than its formal offer.

"If cordial relations are to be re

upon force; neither can they rest upon
acquiescence in the power of might.
Even if Colombia, under protest and
against the Judgment of honorable
people, accept a less sum than that
which we offer, it would not restore the
relations that ought to exist. We must
satisfy their sense of Justice, although
a less sum might satisfy our sense of
Justice.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July 12. Congress has made a
start In undoing some of the reckless
work of the theoretical conservationists
by passing a bill authorizing the agri
cultural entry of public lands that are
now tied up in oil, phosphate, potaHh,
gas and other forms of mineral with
drawals. As soon as the bill Is signed
by the President millions of acres In
the West suitable for agriculture will
be restored to entry, but In such a way
that the minerals themselves cannot be
wasted or be monopolized.
The bill provides that where lands
have been withdrawn because they con
tain oil, gas, phosphate or other miner
als, and where the surface Is suitable
for agriculture, the Secretary of the
Interior may permit homestead entry
of the lands, the homesteader, however,
to acquire only surface rights.
This la In exact accord with a law
