Man Accused of Murder Says
Malice Is Cause of
Couple's Plight.

Victor E. Innes, wanted In Texas in
connection with the disappearance of
the Nelms sisters, passed several hours
In the Multnomah County Jail yester
day. He ridiculed the murder charge
lodged against him and declared his
arrest as the result of malice.
Mr. and Mrs. Innes left last night In
charge of a Deputy Sheriff for San
Antonio. Tex., to face trial for alleged
murder. They are accompanied by their
twin children.
"Its an outrage that someone must
,m tlmR tiav for." he declared. "The
arrest of me and my wife is the result
of malice. The only thing they are
holding us on is that Marshall Nelms
affidavit. The State of Texas knows
there is absolutely no evidence against
either me or my wife and has refused to
have anything to do with the case out
side of its own borders.
"Nelms. therefore, is paying the ex-
nrnsrs connected with returning us to
San Antonio. It is most vindictive of
him. Of course Mrs. Innes is convinced
that I am innocent, but the shock of
my arrest, as well as her own. has only
added to her weakened condition. The
letter written by our physician shows
for itself that she has serious lung trou
ble. She has not been allowed an at
tendant at any time during this trip
and has always been in the company of
a Deputy Sherltf, getting no privacy
at all.
Fear of Sleuth ExaresKed.
"If 1 make any statement detectives
would twist the thing so that It would
react against me. I am positive that
we will be acquitted."
"We can hold Innes and his wife on
any of three charges," said Francis
S. Alkus. manager of the Portland
Burns Detective Agency, yesterday
"The first of these and the most im
nortant is the charge against him it
connection with this disappearance of
the Nelms sisters. tor this char
the Inneses are now on their way to
Texas to explain to a jury. In case the
State of Texas fails to prosecute tnem
on that charge the Government has
two cards more.
"One of these is a charge of using
the mails to defraud. Innes will be
forced to explain what he did with
110,000 belonging to Mrs. Elois Dennis,
the older sister, which we have evi
riniA he ohtained. If he cannot show
proof that he invested this for Mrs?
Dennis, then I think he can ne con
victed easily. The last charge, which
will be used only in the event that the
other two fail. Is an alleged violation
of the Mann act."
Dictaphone Is T'aed.
A dictaphone was employed in the
cell where Innes was confined at Eu
gene and in the hotel room where Mrs.
Innes was kept under surveillance,
says Manager Alkus, of the Burns
agency. Mr. Alkus said last night
that several conversations had been
recorded which, after investigation,
may provide a clew to the disappear
ance of the Nelms sisters.
That Mr. and Mrs. Innes have Jew
elry which they have concealed also
was declared by Mr. Alkus.-
"Our operatives at Eugene learned
that Mr. and Mrs. Innes attempted to
trade Jewelry for an automobile. When
the owner of the machine asked to in
spect the valuables before deciding
upon a trade, the Inneses refused to
produce the Jewelry and only gave a
description.
"The jewelry was described as being
a diamond pin, but the Jewelry of the
Nelms sisters did not include any such
pin. The sisters had a diamond
studded watch and several diamond
rings, which arc being sought by tlm
authorities."
It is said that Innes was in Portland
several days before his arrest and reg
istered in a local hotel under the name
of his stepson.
Party Knits at Portland.
Innes confessed ignorance of the
charges which may be lodged against
him. When Informed that he may be
charged with a violation of the Mana
White Slave act. Innes said:
"That is false. I was married Just
'-as lawfully as possible for anyone to
get married. The wedding was In Salt
Lake City, and was performed by a
minister.'"
Mr. and Mrs. Innes. their S-year-old
twins, Viotor and Venetia. Deputy
Sheriff Alphonso Newton, 6f Bexar
County, Texas, and Marshall Nelms,
brother of the Nelms sisters, arrived
on the Oregon Electric train from Eu
gene yesterday at noon. At the Jefferson-street
station they were rushed
from the train to the automobile of
District Attorney Evans. On the depot
platform were several newspaper pho
tographers. Mr. Evans and Francis S.
Alkus.
When a newspaper photographer at
tempted to obtain Innes' photograph,
the former deputy United States Attor
ney covered his face with a newspaper,
which he has carried at all times since
his arrest. Last night the first photo
graph showing Innes uncovered was
taken by an Oregonlan photographer
as Train 13 of the Southern Pacific
traveled over the railroad bridge, bound
for San Francisco.

EUGENE, Or.. Aug. 24. (Special.)
That human bones have been found
under the house said to have been
occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Innes in San
Antonio, Texas, was reported here to
day by Deputy Sheriff Newton, who
is taking the Innes' to Texas to face
trial for the alleged murder of Mrs.
Elois Nelms Dennis and her sister,
Beatrice Nelms. The prisoners, accom

"I understand that Nelms is hot

Developments came thick and fast
in the Iunes case today. Detectives
found a rneatgrinder in the Innes
home on the McKenzie River. It Is a
larger machine than that usually found
in households and Is said to have been
taken by Innes from the alleged

Sheriff Newton, who declares it will

Detectives and Deputy Sheriff New

to dispose or Jewelry in Eugene. This

COI.ONKI, WOOD SAYS CONFLICT
CAN BE ENDED BY EMBARGO.
Strret Speaker Surprised at Stand
. Taken by German socialists In
Rally at Kaiser's CalL
SALEM, Or., Aug. 25. (Special.)
Colonel C. E. S. Wood, or Portland, in
a street speech here tonight protesting
against war, said that tne best way to
put an end to the European coniiict
was to starve the armies into casting
aside their arms, and to compel them
to look for something to eat.
Ha declared, however, that there was
no hope for that solution, for the other
countries would find a way to deliver
them food at enormous prices.
The speaker said he was disap
pointed in the Socialists joining with
the monarchs in the conflict, and de
clared that they had been misled by
a false sense of patriotism. He thought
there were two kinds of Socialists
one that would fight in an emergency
for the fatherland, and the other that
considered all people brothers, and the
rights of man superior to anything
else.
The following are a few of Colonel
Wood's epigrams:
"When all this fighting is over, with
hundreds of thousands of men slain,
plenipotentiaries of the countries now
at war will sit down at a table and
settle the whole thing. They will set
tle then what might Just as well have
been settled before the war started."
"Did the plain people make one de
mand for this war? They knew noth
ing about It. If this war teaches any
thing it should teach disarmament. I
have been a soldier and I have seen
men with pistols and guns and Bowie
knives, and I never saw an armed
bully expecting a fight but what he got
It."
"The nations were ready for war and
that is what caused it"
"One war paves the way for another.
Germany was prepared for it and knew
France wanted revenge."
"When the flag means leading on to
human freedom it "should be honored
and revered, but when used as a blind
idol to inflame young men to fight for
capitalistic interests it should not be."
Habeas Corpus Writ Refused.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 25. (Special.)
Circuit Judge Galloway today refused
to issue a writ releasing Benjamin C.
Eastwick, said to be worth 1800,000,
from the State Insane Asylum. East
wick was committed from Multnomah
County in 1912. His mother, Mrs. Eu
phemia Eastwick. of Portland, sought
to obtain his release on a writ of
habeas corpus. She said she intended
taking him to Philadelphia for treat
ment in a sanitarium. Superintendent
Steiner, of the asylum, said he would
oppose the release of the man until
it was proved that he was to be given
proper attention.

COLONEL IS BITTER
Republican Party Scored by
ex-President as Reactionary.
TARIFF LAWS DENOUNCED
Colonel's Utterances Furnish Food
for Political Discussion and
Have Injected a Little Life
Into "Lost" Campaign.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Aug. 2S. Campaign speeches
which Colonel Roosevelt has been de
livering in New England have occa
sioned surprise among Republican
leaders, who thought they had detected
a desire on the part of the former
President to get back into his old
party.
"The Republican party organization
Is as Bourbon and reactionary now as
it was two years ago. If anything, it
Is worse," said the Colonel, in a speech
at Lewlston, Maine. "Neither of the
old party organizations has any idea
of what It Is doing, and neither has
really any principle at all." he went on.
But one of the most remarkable ut
terances in that same speech was In
connection with his denunciation of
the Payne-Aldrich law and the Under
wood tariff, both of which he con
demned in bitter terms. "Of the two
old machines," said the Colonel, "one
by its action would destroy all pros
perity, and the other, if prosperity were
obtained, would divert it with enor
mous disproportion to a few favored
and private people."
Tariff Question Main Isaue.
Aside from the present campaign,
however, the Colonels comments are
Interesting as being the first declara
tion from him on the question of the
tariff since he entered upon the Presi
dency about 13 years ago.
Upon the death of McKiniey. the
Colonel assumed the first office,
pledged to carry out the McKiniey poli
cies, but he overlooked the tariff, and
never once allowed that issue to gain
prominence during his term In the
White House. Though appealed to over
and over by party leaders and by busi
ness men, he refused to allow Congress
to tackle the tariff, and his course was
ascribed to fear that a revision of the
tariff during his term might bring
about a political upheaval.
When President Taft came into of
fice, however, he made tariff revision
a prominent issue; the old law was
modified, and one less objectionable
wa senacted. Yet the Colonel denounces
that law as being quite as bad as that
recently enacted by a Democratic Con
gress, and charges that the Republican
revision was in the interest of a few
manifestly meaning the big corpora
tions. The Payne-Aldrich law, however, was
less generous to the corporations than
was the law repealed by the Payne
Aldrich bill, and the very criticism the
Colonel now makes of the Republican
tariff legislation under Taft applies
with even greater force to the tariff
that was on the statute books through
out his entire term. How he will ex
plain hie refusal to revise the tariff as
it should have been is a question poli
ticians would solve.
Kevlalon la PronUaed.
Moreover, the Colonel promises re
vision through a tariff commission, a
plan that, from a Republican stand
point, would afford no immediate re
lief, if there should be a change of ad
ministration, for it would take a new
commission several years to gather and
fdrmulate sufficient data on which to
base a revision, and this would keep
the Underwood law in effect for three
or four years after the change, provid
ed the Democrats lose- control of the
Government In 1916.

PICKETS' CARDS RIDICULED
Commander of Union Forces Says
He Knows of No Violence by Men
and Would Not Tell if Ho
Did Know of It.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25. Emphatic
affirmations and denials of charges that
union labor has been responsible for
violence in Stockton recently were made
today before the Federal industrial re
lations committee. Sneaking as presi
dent of the association. C. G. Bird de
clared property had been destroyed,
dynamiting resorted to. teams Injured
and the lives of non-union workmen
threatened. The organization which
Mr. Bird heads has taken the field for
open shop conditions, but has no dif
ferences with the union over hours of
labor and wages. Approximately 95
per cent of the employers of Stockton
belong to the organization, it was testi
fied. "I know of no violence being com
mitted by union men and I would not
tell of it if I did," testified Anton
Johannsen, who has been directing the
union fight in Stockton during the last
two weeks.
Carda Characterised aa Farce.
Instruction cards which Mr. Johannsen
issued to union pickets were introduced
to show he did not sanction violence.
Mr. Bird termed the cards a "farce."
Claudius Stewart, a master painter,
frankly admitted on the witness stand,
however, that he used somewhat violent
methods in dealing with L. S. Calkins,
who organized the Employers' Associa
tion. Mr. Stewart said he Joined the or
ganization on the promise of work, but
after three months' idleness, wheu he
decided to withdraw and again affiliate
himself with the union men; Mr. Calkins
I , , , - , , , , . racnlt
CailCU nun a tuwaiu, wim
that he attacked Mr. Calkins, knocking
him down.
Witnesses for the Employers' Asso
ciation were reluctant about going into
details as to whether they would bring
non-union workmen into Stockton, and
also whether they would indemnify
members for losses sustained by virtue
of open shop conditions.
Witnesses Disagree on Details.
Both Mr. Bird and Mr. Irish, an or
ganizer, preferred to restrict them
selves to facts concerning labor condi
tions in Stockton prior to July 8. when
the "open shop" declaration of the as
sociation was read in the industries of
all its members.
According to J. T. Woods, an organ
izer of the State Building Trades Coun
cil, Mr. Calkins came to Stockton with
the sole purpose of making the city
open shop in its nature. There never
was any serious trouble between union
labor and employers until after his ar
rival, the witness said. On the other
hand, Mr. Irish testified that union
labor became so unreasonable in its de
mands that the formation of an Em
ployers' Association became necessary
for self-protection.

of the House to ali absent mem
bers, inoludlng Representative Lafferty
of Oregon, that their attendance was
required and notifying them of the
proposed immediate enforcement of the
law directing the sergeant-ai-arms to

Under the law quoted and the reso
lution passed by the House today, di

member will be docked $20.24 for every
day absent, commencing with today.
Today's action grew out of the
flagrant absence of members like Hob

been away from their duties here from
one to four months. The Congressional
records show that Lafferty's last re
corded attendance In the House was
April 24, and he has therefore drawn
four months' pay, or $2500, for time

The record discloses that Lafferty
did not obtain leave to absent himself
from the sessions of the House. The
