RESERVOIR SITE NQTTQ BEAGQUIRED Work, However, on West Uma tilla Project WiH Go On Without Cessation. $138,000 TO BE SPENT Site Xear Irrigon May , Be Consid ered Price of Rejected location Kegarded as Too Hib for Settlers to Pay. OREGONIAN KEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Oct. 21. After several year of fruitless negotiation with private own ers of land in the proposed Umatilla Meadows reservoir site, which was to have been acquired by -the -Ooveraroent as part of the West Umatilla irrigation project, the Reclamation Service, with the concurrence of Secretary Lane, has abandoned plans lor the acquisition and construction of that reservoir and has so notified all land owners. Abandonment of this reservoir, it is explained by the Reclamation Service, is due entirely to the fact that owners hold their land at what is considered an exorbitant price, which the Gov ernment eannot afford to pay. For a time it was thought advisable to ac quire this site by condemnation, but Director Newell and Engineer Hopson recommended against condemnation and on their recommendation the Gov ernment decided to abandon this reser voir altogether. lrrisB Site ReOBjiiesde4. Messrs. Newell and Hopson. however, have reported that the Government can acquire another reservoir site near Ir rigon. quite as satisfactory as that which has been abandoned, if the Gov ernment decides to go ahead with the main portion of the West Umatilla project. .... Members of the Reclamation Com' mission assert that abandonment of .he Umatilla meadows reservoir site does not mean abandonment of the ' West Umatilla project. On the contrary, they assert that work Is under way at this time on the first or gravity unit of the West Side extension and that they have recommended the allotment of $138,000 to be spent the first bix months of next year in-building the laterals and distribution system of this unit. The commission also has rec ommended that Congress, in making the apportionment for the year be ginning July next, as authorized in the new law, appropriate $276,000 ad ditional to be expended largely on the main canal of the first West Side unit. Work for IS Months la View. These sums, it is pointed out, will keep work under way at a fair rate of progress lor tne next is moDim. Up to the present time the Secretary of the Interior has never formally ap Droved the main part of the West Umatilla project, but only, the first unit, which is now being built. Be cause of difficulties encountered with private land owners on the original Umatilla project and difficulties en countered by the settlers themselves In brinsrinfr the lands under cultivation the department deems it wise-to pro ceed cautiously witn tne storage or main section of the West Umatilla project and formal approval of that project probably will be delayed until the first unit proves successful and there is reasonable assurance that so,- 000 acres -of the main project can be reclaimed at a cost which settlers can afford to pay. The commission points out that if the Government had acquired the Umatilla j l- .. . 1. ,iM aBlru1 by land owners, the per acre cost of West Umatilla project would have been greater than settlers could pay and it 'was primarily for this reason that res ervoir was abandoned. "It is true that the proposed reservoir for the West Umatilla irrigation project has been abandoned, but the project it self is being put forward without in terruption," said E. G. Hopson, super vising engineer of the United States Reclamation Service, with offices in Portland, yesterday. ,-The prospect of building a reservoir was given up several months ago be cause we felt that there was no need for it at this time and becanse the landowners asked too much foj their land. I have had ho word informing me that there is any likelihood that the West Umatilla project will be given up. T wont over ti nrni.rt a f.iv Hov. and I know that it is being advanced rapidly at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars." are now in final status, but I do not believe they are. The courts might hold also that the clause, 'the max imum punishment which may be in flicted shall be life imprisonment.' coupled with the closing phrase, 'and this section is self -executing.' provides that life imprisonment shall be 'in flicted for all first-degree .murders. Personally, I cannot see that the amendment provides any punishment I think it leaves that function to the Legislature within the limit of life imprisonment." In all probability the men now under sentence would go free in case the death penalty is abolished," said Jay Bowerman in an off-hand opinion yesterday. "The reasonings given by the attorneys in The Oregonion this morning appear to be correct, and I think the law would be construed in that light." After being convicted in Multnomah and Columbia Counties, respectively. L. H. Wilkins and J. A. Pender ap pealed their cases to the Supreme Court, where the convictions were af firmed. It is now in order for the cases to be returned -to the respective circuit courts where the cases origi nated that the dates of execution may be re-set. Governor West announced twice he would reprieve the two men. In the Portland papers of -September 15 the Governor was quotedv to the effect that he would reprieve Pender and Wllkhis until such time as the Legis lature was in session, so that in case the death penalty is not abolished those interested in substituting electrocution could - have first-hand knowledge re garding hanging-. NEW CONFESSION MADE Ml It D Kit SUSPECT ACCUSES SON OF WEALTHY WIDOW. MEXICAN PEACE DOUBTEDjKEEP LIVER AND CABBASZA'S KEPTDIATIOX OF" con vention shakes coriiE.ta Prisoner Previously Declares He Coan- mltte Crime Himself to Obtain Money for Wedding. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21. Percy Tug- well, who confessed here Tuesday that he murdered Mrs. P. A. B. Kennedy, a wealthy widow, on the night of Sep tember 1, made another confession to night in which he asserted that Mrs. Kennedy's son, Philip, committed the murder. Tug-well, arrested in San Francisco Saturday as a suspect, made the charge in the last of a series of oral confes sions. His first storv caused the . de tention of young Kennedy, Kennedy's wife and Herbert De Normandy, a nainter. Early today he confessed that he alone killed the woman to obtain money for his wedding, which took place soon - after the murder. Later he repudiated this statement, finany late tonight he told the police and the District Attorney's investigators that Kennedy killed his mother and that his previous statement was made to shield the son. As final proof of the son's guilt Tug well promised to produce a letter from Kennedy. This has not yet been found. Mrs. Kennedy, the . murdered woman, was killed late at night, supposedly near her home here. The body was found the following morning when a search was made for her by her son, who, with his wife, made his home with her. Mrs. Kennedy was killed by the combined effects of ammonia and chloroform. Her jewelry was missing. A diamond ring, missing from her finger, was traced through Tugwell. who sold it here for $45 the day after the murder. Young Kennedy vigorously denies any complicity in the crime, rle mam tains that Tugwell is seeking to clear himself. No formal complaint nas been issued against Kennedy and his wife, both voluntarily suDmitting to tueir ucieu tion. EER TAX PROVES BAR HOUSE CONFEREES - AGAINST 25 CENTS ADDED BIT SRSIATE. LAWYERS SEE LOOPHOLE OTHERS EXPRESS OPINION THAT ANTI-NOOSE ACT ERRS. Five Cents a Gallon on Iteerlfied Spirits Also Opposed and Gasoline Tax Insisted On. WASHINGTON. Oct. 21. At a con ference on the "war tax" bill tonight the disagreement, between - the two houses simmered down to three im- oortant particulars. The House con f erees stood out steadfastly against the Senate amendment which added 25 cents a barrel to, -the additional tax of 50 cents which -.the Mouse Dill origi nally levied on Heer. They also vigorously opposed tne Senate imposition of a tax of 5 cents a gallon on. rectified spirits. Instead of these provisions, ttepresentative .under wood and his - colleagues insisted that the tax of 2 cents a gallon on gaso line, written into the bill by the House, which the Senate eliminated, should be restored. Several hours of .conferences failed to bring .about an agreement on any of these points and the conference com mittee recessed until -tomorrow, sena tor Simmons said if these three points were settled he expected little trouble in bringing the remainder of the but into agreement. Attorney M. I.. Pipes and Confreres De clare Murderers W ill Be Set Free if Measure Passes. Additional Portland attorneys . ex pressed the opinion Tuesday that John A. Pender and Lloyd H. Wilkins, con victed of murder, in the first degree, probably would go free in case- the proposed constitutional amendment to abolish the death penalty is -passed at the coming general election-- In this they agree with Dan J. Malarkey. Al fred E. Clark. Attorney-General Craw ford and District Attorney Evans, who were quoted in The Oregonian yesterday. The proposed amendment reads as follows: Article I of the constitution of the State of Oregon shall be, and hereby is, amended by the addition of a section to said Article I. and It shall be designated as Section 3S o( Article i. ARTICLE I. . Section 3-3. The death penalty chall not be inflicted upon any person under the laws of OreR-on. The maximum punishment which may be Inflicted shall be lite imprisonment. Alt provisions of the constitution and laws of ori-con in conflict with tills section are hereby abrogate! and repealed in so far as , they conflict herewith, and this section is self executing. "Opinion is almost unanimous that a law must exist from the time a crime is committed until sentence actually is carried out, said M. L. Pipes, In com menting on the proposed law, "but it is certain that the law under which Pender and Wilkins were convicted would be repealed in case the amend ment passes at the election. "A law that is repealed without saving clause exempting pending cases is the same as a pardon, for if there is no law couring the crime a con victed man cannot be sentenced. How could he be when there is no law? "At present the law is that a man convicted of first-degree murder shall receive the death penalty. If the amendment passes, this law will be re pealed, and no law is provided to take its place in giving punishment for the offense. "It might be considered a debatable question, whether the cases at point Contending- Forces at Xaro Prepare for Hostilities While Waiting for - Peace Delegates. WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. That Gen eral Carranza's repudiation of the claim of the convention at Aguas Calientes to the sovereign power in Mexico had shaken confidence in official circles that peace was near in the republic was apparent here tonight. - General Carranza's message to the convention asking by what authority it had proclaimed itself sovereign and declaring he would deliver the execu tive power only to the man elected by the people has also dampened the ope that the contest for control of Mex ico's political affairs between Carranza and Villa was about to be finally ad justed. ' Officials doubted reports that Gen eral Villa had moved a large force to the vicinity of Aguas Calientes to coerce the delegates. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct 21. There is no doubt whatever that General Villa has a good-sized army encamped within easy distance of Aguas Calientes, ac cording to travelers arriving here, who say they saw the troops. One man ot long residence In Mexico said Villa had found several thousand pro-Carranza men rn or near the city and gave them 12 hours to get 40 miles away. "If you need it 111 make it 18 hours." he is said to have told them. "The presence of your armed force is not proper in this peaceable gathering." 4 NACO, Ariz., Oct. 21. While awaiting the arrival of the Peace Commission from Aguas Calientes to eettle the dif ferences between Governor Jose May torena and General Benjamin Hill, both these leaders are preparing to resume hostilities. Maytorena evidently is planning the demolition of Naco, Sonera, as he now has five field pieces planted on three sides of the town. The guns in their present position will endanger the American town more than before. General Hill has four guns en route. MONTEREY. Mexico.

Prosecution of Alleged Slayer of Una- band's Caller Expects to Close Its Case Today. MINE OLA, N. T., Oct. 2L The prose cution's case against Mrs. Florence Conklin Carman, on trial in the Supreme uourt here for the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey, will be completed to morrow. District Attorney Smith made this announcement at the close of a day spent in drawing from a score of wit nesses a chain of preliminary circum stantial evidence by which he hopes to link Mrs. carman directly with the com mission of the crime. Many of today's witnesses were called to establish the alleged motive jeal ousy. One was Mrs. Elizabeth Varance, a trained nurse, whose face Mrs. Car man slapped when she saw Dr. Carman give her money and allow her to' kiss him, it was testified. Another was Gas ton Boissanault. ex-chief of the Cana dian secret service, and now manager at the company that sold the wife of the physician a "mechanical eaves dropper" so she might hear what went on in her husband's private office when women patients were, there. A new fact was developed which the prosecution seemed to consider signifi cant. Physicians who performed the autopsy on the victim of the tragedy in the doctor's office testified that slie would have become a mother had she lived. . - - The state's two star witnesses will testify tomorrow: One is Celia Cole man, the negro maid, and the other is Frank Farrell, an unemployed engi neer. Celia Coleman's story as told to the grand jury was materially different from the one she told at the inquest. wnen her memory was faulty. The story she is expected to tell tomorrow is the one she related to the grand jury. FarrelPs story is to the effect that he was at the back door of the Carman house at the time of the shooting. He is quoted as saying he saw Mrs. Car man run into the house from the side yard jUrectly after he heard the crash of breaking glass and the report of a revolver shot. .... Mrs. Carman today showed the effect of the strain she is under, but during the afternoon session she repeatedly suggested points to her counsel.- WOUNDEDFLOODAUSTRIA BOWELS REGULAR WITHJSCARETS No More Headache, Bad Colds, Sour Stomach and Constipation.

FALLING HAIR Stndents Permitted to Cennt Time Spent Attending; Soldiers aa Part f Medical Course. BUDAPEST, via. Paris. Oct. aL Budapest Is flooded with .wounded sol diers, who continue to arrive daily by trainloads. The new military hospital Just opened has 3600" beds and another barrack hospital has been started which will accommodate 4000 sick or wounded. Great difficulty is being experienced in finding doctors to attend the great mass of men who are being brought into the city and the ministry of edu cation has agreed that medical stu dents in their fourth and fifth years entering the military hospitals may count the time as a portion of their hospital year. The junior doctors in the hospitals receive about 83 cents a day, the assistant doctors 12 1 cents and the nurses 25 cents a day. In addi tion all receive their board and lodg ing. Reports from Trieste say that wound ed soldiers are arriving there and at Goritza and other towns in Southern Austria in great numbers. In many cases convalescent soldiers are being dismissed from the hospitals and per mitted to return to their homes. Large numbers of them, it is said, are with out means and almost starving and are compelled to appeal to relief organiza tion for aid. The War Office has now ordered that convalescents at home re ceive 34 cents a day in addition to their ordinary pay. The American Red Cross mission, which recently arrived in Budapest with 20 tons of bandages and dressings and great quantities of medicines and surgical supplies, all of which were urgenty needed and highly appreciated by the Hungarian government, has been in charge of an improvised hospital in the Wechselman Institute for the Blind. The hospital contains 108 beds. S3 Men Taken in Raid. Thirty-three men were arrested last For Four Years Dandruff Could Be . Seen Plainly. Head Burned and So Itchy Could Hardly Stand It.

To the voters: Things look brighter to me than for four yeara. I expect a complete victory at the election. When you first elected me lour years ago I promised to serve the public as against the greed of special privilege- It was a simple promise, but it has been kept. I promised to use the power of the office to compel enforcement of the railroad land grant law, which was plain, and I have done bo. The case is now in the Supreme Court and will soon be decided in its finality. As to how I could otherwise serve the people I only knew in a general way then, but now I can specify. Then I only knew generally that things were not right, but I could not place my finger on the leaks, the grafts and the frauds.- You put me in your -vineyard for four years, and I have worked and uncovered the things that are wrong and am able to point tbem out, and I have done so. My continuance in office now would mean that these things will be righted by the National Legislature. My defeat would be a warning to others not to serve the public Mr. McArthur and I represent the very opposites and have from the start. The newspapers gave false testimony pending the primary and kept me from the regular nomination of my party. They told you I was disreputable, and a disgrace to 'the state, and that you should retire me for that reason. They knew that was not so, and many . of you did not know it- A more monu mental fraud was never perpetrated on the electorate of any district. And now that I have challenged them to specify, and they have failed, but stand before you self convicted, they ask you to ratify that fraud by voting against me a week from next Tues day. I had as much right to appeal from a primary decision rendered upon false testimony as any person has to appeal from a court of first instance to the supreme court, where he can show fraud or false swearing. I am neither a quitter nor a poor loser. I would have been both had I failed to appeal the case to the supreme court of all the people at the election.
