KNQWLES' SILENCE
WORRIES FRIENDS
No Word Comes From Nature
Man and Guide Fails to
Return From Camp.
HARDEST STRUGGLE IS ON
Lack of Xros Is Taken to Indicate
That Ftrt and Most Difficult
Days of Test Are Being
Passed Successfully.
HOLLAND, Or., Via Grants Pass, Or.,
July 24. (Special.) Nothing has' been
heard from the Knowlea camp today
Si Hie. the guide, who was sent in yes
terday, to return today with whatever
Information he could get at the camp
had not returned up to a late hour, and
there is no way of getting any lnfor
matlon except by courier. The fact
that he has not returned gave the im
pression to the members of the party
who are at Holland, that both Dr
Waterman and Professor Edwards have
followed Knowies into the forest and
have not returned to the camp on In
dlan creek.
If either of these two men had any
Information they would have sent it
out by the guide and would not have
waited for a special message from
Knowies. it is believed. That no word
has come from them is taken to indi
eate that they are in the woods, and
that the guide has waited, so that he
will not return to the settlement with
out information and have to make an
other trtp.
Mtiucr la Promised.
It was planned before Knowies went
Into the woods that he would leave
some kind of a record on a trail within
a dav or so. and that Professor Ed
wards and Dr. Waterman would find
it on the day they started into the for
est. As they have not returned to the
ramn. it is Drobable that they have
pushed on for another day to catch up
with Knowies.
The fact that no word was received
from the camD Indicates at least that
Knowies still is In the woods and that
he has survived the first two days of
his test. These two or three days are
the hardest he will have, and it he has
nassed them successfully, he Has more
than a fair chance to carry his experi
ment to a successful finish. .
Telearaph Wires Down.
The waiting men at Holland today
were in a state bordering on nervous
in.itriinii. Hie who is one of the
best-known guides of the country, left
v.iirHiv morn n a with a nam train
carrvlng into the camp provisions and
nhntnirranhic supplies, and was told to
be back by 2 o'clock this afternoon.
As the day wore on and he did not ap
pear, those who were anxious to hear
from Knowies became more and more
anxious. To add to the unpleasantness
of the situation, all the telegraph wires
i. ... h. .tin-. I nnd Grants Pass, the
nearest telegraph wire to the camp,
were down or crippled, so that not a
word has passed between the two towns
In the last 21 hours.
It was necessary for one of the men
to take an automobile and hurry 40
miles over t,he roughest kind of roads
to send this message to The Oregonlan.
In all probability Hie will appear to
morrow afternoon with the information
that everyone is waiting for. Until
then Joe Knowies is a quantity un
known. He has gone into the woods 60
miles from the Jumplng-off place and
bis situation has not been learned.

year supervisory course in some higher
educational institution, and to be the
holder of a state certificate: (2) that
other conditions being equal preference
be given professionally trained teach
ers: (3) that there be some regulation
whereby pupils entering school for the
first time shall enter during the first
or fifth months of the school year;
(4) that an eight-month term shall
be the minimum for the State of Ore

whenever practicable for the consoli
dation of rural schools; (6) that eighth
grade examinations be held only at
convenient centers, such places to be
designated by the County School Superintendent."

OLYMPIA, Wash., July 24. (Spe
cial.) With the time passed for filing
arguments to go in the State of Wash
ington's initiative legislation bosklet.
to be circulated to all vaters in the
state, only one affirmative argument
has been submitted, while there are
12 opposing arguments In the secre
tary's hands.
The single favorable argument is in
the case of the prohibition bill, against
which there have been submitted three
negative arguments. In the case of
two bills no arguments at all, either
for or against, have been submitted,
while three bills have two negative
arguments and no affirmative.
The law permits two affirmative ar
guments on each bill and three nega
tive, but it requires that the cost of
printing the arguments and of the pa
per on which they are printed be borne
by those who submit them and that a
deposit be made with the Secretary of
State to cover this cost at the time the
arguments are submitted. This pro
vision has acted as something of a
damper on the friends of the bills, but
has seemed not to be so effective a stay
to the interests which will be affected
if the bills become laws.
Two Lark Opposition.
Of the nine Initiative measures pro
posed, the "blue sky" bill and the bill
to abolish the State Tax Commission,
transferring its duties to the public
service commission, alone lack opposi
tion in the form of argument.
The one favorable argument was
submitted on the prohibition bill by
the Anti-Saloon League of Washing
ton, which circulated the petitions.
Against this bill arguments were sub
mitted by the State Brewers' Associa
tion, by the Hop Growers' Association
and by the Antt-Prohlbltlon Associa
tion of Washington.
Arguments against the eight-hour
hill were submitted by the Farmers'
Union of Walla Walla, Columbia and
Garfield counties, which refused to in
dorse the Initiative measure which
other farmers' organizations and three
associations of employers, embracing
the sheet-metal trades, logging and
fisheries, have favored.
Arguments against the bill to abousn
the State Bureau of inspection ana
Supervision of Public Offices were
submitted by the Building Owners and
Managers' Association of Seattle and
by the Taxpayers' Association of Ta-
coma; against tne diu io niase mc

the West Coast Lumber Manufacturers,

onDosing the bill adding a rirst-aia
clause to the Industrial insurance act.
It is their assertion that tney do not
oppose first-aid legislation, but that
the bill offered is unjust.
The bill to put all convicts to worn
on state roads and to repeal all other
roadmaklng programmes is opposed by
the Washington State Good Roads As
sociation on the ground that it will re

and seriously disturb the conduct or
the, stnte Denal institutions, wnicn
heretofore have used convicts on road
work only In "honor camps."
The bill to levy an additional tax on
each fish caught in Washington waters
is opposed both by the Jfurse seiners
Protective Association, an organization
of small fishermen, and by the three
big organizations of fish trappers and
packers, the Washington state Ginn
eries, the Puget Sound Canners and the
Columbia River Packers of Washing
ton.

Irregularities found in the purchase
of food supplies by officials at Llnnton
subjail may result In a shakeup at that
institution and possibly the prosecution
of some officials in charge. The irreg
ularities brought to light by City Com
missioner Blgelow and Municipal Pur
chasing Agent Wood are said to cover
a period of several months and involve
a large amount of money.
Appropriations of several hundred
dollars for the express purpose of buy
ing meat have been used, it is said, in
the buying of other supplies. The pur
chases have been handled in such a
way, it Is said, that it has been almost
impossible for the alleged irregulari
ties to be checked up by City Hall of
ficials. These conditions were emphasized to
Commissioner Blgelow several days
ago, when vouchers from the subjail
showed that it was using an exceeding
ly large quantity of beef. It was fig
ured that it would not have been pos
sible for the prisoners to consume so
much meat.
Immediately an investigation was
started and it was found that the
"meat" purchases really have covered
other articles, including foodstuffs.
The city allowed expenditures of 7
cents a pound for meat. Instead of
buvinc other articles in the usual way.
It is said that meat requisitions were
secured and other articles were paid
for from the funds thus secured.
Vouchers then were sent to the City
Wall for so many pounds of beef. If,
for example, the purchase of an article
n mounted to BO cents. It is said the
voucher or statement went to the City
Hall from the subjail marked "7
pounds of beef, at 7 cents a pound," or
50 cents.
While no names have been mentioned
in the investieatlon. as yet. a 'number
of the officials of the jail have been
"on the carpet" before Mayor Albee
and Commissioner Blgelow. Municipal
Purchasing Agent Wood has been put
to work checking up all the accounts
and expects within a few days to have
the matter worked out. The investiga
tion is to cover all lines of purchases
as well as those of meat.
The subjail now is being operated by
the city, having been taken over sev
eral months ago from the county. The
men employed, therefore, are under
city Jurisdiction.

tinue the work until every possible
trace has been followed down."
County officials ignore the sensa
tional statements made by a Portland
paper. "No additional information re
lating to the case has been brought
out by these attacks," said Mr. Hedges
when asked his opinion. "Everything
they have said relative to the case was
known two' years ago."

Judge J. U. Campbell today sentenced
Earl McCoy to an indeterminate sen
tence of from one to five years in the
