The officers believe that the 18 coins

Chief of Police Shaw were made by
Gould. Chief Shaw sent the coins,
poor imitations of $5 gold pieces, to
the secret service operator in . Port

weeks ago when he was bringing
Charles A. Rogers, a brother-in-law of
Gould, to Clackamas County, from

Rogers knew much of the alleged

Frost enough of the facts to open the

Officers Construct Story of Death of

Body by Piecing Together
Results of Inquiry.
ROSEBURG, Or.. Dec. It. (Special.
-Impressions made by a horsefs hoof
of peculiar shape, two bottles of oil of
tansy, a lead bullet, a letter and frag
ments of the burned form of a baby
are some of the links in a chain of evi
dence upon which Sheriff George Qulne
and the prosecuting officials of Doug
las County charge Roy Farnum with
responsibility for the death and the
burning of the body of Edna Morgan,
near Glendale, early Wednesday.
Carrying on an investigation sepa
rate from that conducted by the Coro
ner's Jury, Sheriff Quine ana Detective
Coturrl spent the day at Glendale. Im
pressions of a peculiarly shaped hoof
of a horse were found in a clump of
bushes near the barn in which Edna
Morgan met her death. These tracks
were followed to a point near the Mor
gan home, and thence to the stable on
the Farnum ranch.
Horsei Hair la on Brush
The officers also found hair on the
fcrush where the horse apparently had
been tied which they say tallied with
that of a horse Farnum rode. Foot
prints which the Sheriff says were
those of Miss Morgan also were found,
leading from the spot where the horse
was tied to the barn.
The Sheriff also has learned that
Farnum recently purchased three bot
tles of oil of tansy at a Glendale
pharmacy. This drug, the Sheriff be
lieves, was purchased by Farnum when
lie became aware of his sweetheart's
condition.
The officers say Farnum wrote a let
ter last Tuesday and It was delivered
to Miss Morgan by a rural mail car
rier. Farnum says that the letter was
an invitation to the girl to attend a
dance Tuesday night.
Nq Bullet Wound Detected.
At the autopsy here in the course of
the day Mr. Miller said the body of
Miss Morgan was too severely burned
to detect bullet wounds. He pro
nounced other bones found in the ruins
of the barn as those of her unborn
child.
It also was established that the bullet
found beneath Miss Morgan's body was
of the same caliber as the revolver
owned and carried by Farnum. This
revolver was obtained by the officers
and is being held as evidence.
Mrs. Dewey, who lives near Glen
dale, told the Sheriff that she saw a
light in the lieamen, barn at 1:30 o'clock
"Wednesday morning and later heard
the report of a revolver. Shortly after
ward, she said, the barn was a mass
. of flames.
Officers Construct Story.
The officers charge that Farnum left
his home without his parents' knowl
edge late Tuesday night, rode a horse
to the Morgan ranch, where he met
Edna by prearrangement. From there,
it is charged, they rode to the spot
where the horse was tied in the clump
of bushes. It is averred they then
walked to the barn, where the alleged
murder was committed.
The officers panned the ruins of the
barn and found many articles of wom
an's wearing apparel. The girl's teeth
have been found and will be sent to
Mr. Knauffman. of Hillsboro. for iden
tification. Miss Morgan formerly lived
at his house at Glendale.
Farnum refused to discuss the affair,
following a warning by his attorney
last night. The preliminary hearing
will be held Monday.

After Wide Investigation.
t
CHICAGO, Dec. 11. That the adver
n tising business Is on the increase Is
indicated In the heavy placing of con
tracts for the early months of 1915,
according to members of the executive
committee of the Associated Adver
tising Clubs of the World, which met
here today.
The educational committee of the as
sociation has made an investigation of
business conditions In 170 cities In the
United States to ascertain how con-
ditions on November 1 compared with
those or a year ago. Although results
have not been' compiled, Lewellyn
Pratt, of New York, chairman of the
committee, said that it was evident
the retail demand for the last few
months "has been equal to or a little
better than that of a year ago."
"The reports of the prosperous con
ditions were the most remarkable fea
tures of our preliminary meeting,
said William Woodhead, of San Fran
cisco, president of the association. Fif
teen of the 17 members of the executive
committee were present and agreed
that the heavy placing of advertising
for the early months of 1915 indicated
a favorable outlook."
The committee arranged plans today
for the annual convention of the as
sociation, which will be held here, be

Reconsideration of Subject Witk Plan
for Increasing Interstate Commerce
Commission la Possible.
WASHINGTON, Dec 11. Legislation
to regulate Issues of railroad securities,
which passed the House last session
and was reported to the Senate shortly
before adjournment, may not be1
pressed for final passage at this ses
sion of Congress, but the Senate com
mittee may undertake reconsideration
of the subject with a plan for increas
ing the size of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and dividing It to
enlarge the capacity for work.
Chairman Newlands, of the interstate
commerce committee, has recently con
suited President Wilson on the pending
Din. wnicn would empower the Inter'
state commerce commission to regu
late Issues of securities.
The President," said Senator New-
lands today, "feels that the Interstate
Commerce Commission is already over
loaded with work, and the suggestion
has been made that when securities
legislation is considered there be for
mulated some plan whereby the com
mission could be enlarged and divided
into departments, and it would not be
necessary for the Commission to act
as a whole on all matters.
"To frame such legislation -undoubt
edly will require considerable time and
the President is eager that nothing be
attempted now which will necessitate
an extra session of Congress."

strength of all the organized militia
maintained, and In many instances the
deficiency has reached such a figure as
to leave the corresponding organisa
tions such in name only organiza
tions of no value as a military asset to
the Federal Government."
This Is the way Brigadier-General A.
L, Mills, chief of the division of militia
affairs of the War Department, charac
terizes the citizen soldiery of the coun
try in his annual report today.
One method of remedy is to be found,
in General Mills' opinion, in the pass
age of a bill for the compensation of
the militia by the Federal Government.
General Mills says that an examina
tion "reveals the fact that the or
ganized militia as a whole is deficient
in strength and that this deficiency
reaches the serious figure of nearly 16.-
000 men. or an approximate equivalent
of the -infantry component of a com
plete infantry division at war strength.
It will show that more than 60 per
cent of the Infantry and engineer com
panies, 70 per cent of the cavalry
troops. 80 per cent of the coast artil
lery companies and practically all of
the field artillery batteries are below
the prescribed minimum and in all
cases the former and latter prescribed
minimum is referred to."
At the close of the last fiscal year,
the militia consisted of 119,251 enlisted
men and 8792 officers.
General Mills reiterates his plea for
the creation of military reserves.
UNrVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene.
Dec 1L (Special.) After devoting an
entire -day to the problem of the unem
ployed, the second meeting of the first
special session of the Commonwealth
Conference dispersed this evening with
the common sentiment of the speakers,
who presented prepared articls to the
audience, voiced in the opinion that a
probable solution to the question is the
establishment of between three and
six labor bureaus or agencies through
out the state.
The same enthusiastic crowd which
attended yesterday's session, with the
addition of other people prominent in
state affairs and interests, marked the
morning and afternoon's attendance.
The interest is keen and the best of
feeling prevails, even when discussions
wax decidedly warm.
Although no motion was entertained
to the effect that the establishment of
free labor bureaus be recommended to
the next convening of the State Leg
islature, it is the underlying belief
that a resolution to this effect will be
adopted at the session and a committee
ill be appointed for this purpose be
fore the final adjournment Saturday
evening.
Much of Real Merit Heard.
Much of real merit and worth was
disclosed in the speeches delivered and
the discussions which followed. As
C. O. Young, of Tacoma, so ably put it:
We do a great deal of talking and
out of it all something of good is
bound to come."
E. J. Stack, general secretary of the
Oregon Federation of Labor, presided
over today's session and introduced
Joseph Mayper, general secretary and
ounsel for the committee for immigra
tion In America, as the first speaker of
the day.
Speech Is Two Hours Long.
Mr. Mayper had chosen the tendencies
in and plans for unemployment legis
lation, state and National, as his topic.
He at once launched into an address
which covered a period of two hours.
Briefly outlining the natural trend
of his lecture, he showed himself to
be In hearty favor of the establishment
of free public agencies, the regulating of
private employment agencies, and insti
tuting and organizing of such measures
for relief that they may meet the pop
ular demand. Statistics then were
cited in which he pointed to the thou
sands of employment agencies existing
in the world today which were endeav-
rlng to provide help to the employers
and who were endeavoring to aid the
'job seeker." All of these organiza
tions work along different lines and in
so doing no attempt Is made to cen
tralize the common end and in so doing
make easier the lot of the employe.
AS a means of lightening some of the
problems which face those dealing with
the labor question the following issues
were presented by Mr. Mayper in what
he terms a "constructive action. They
are:
Constructive Action Sought.
Urge the Federal Government to pub
lish a census of the unemployed during
the year ot 1910; urge that a record be
made of the handicapped and the va
grants who seek positions: organize
the labor market; regulate private em
ployment agencies; establish local
clearing-houses to keep close watch on
the employment problems; systematize
want advertisements; develop public
works; establish municipal lodging
houses and study the system of the
unemployed conditions in other coun
tries, i
Allen Eaton led the discussion which
followed and the conference adjourned
after round-table talks with a few of
the members participating.
A. H. Grout, Labor Commissioner, of
Seattle, followed Mr. Mayper's address
with a paper illustrating the labor con
ditions and problems in the State of
Washington. He said no individual or
body of individuals were permitted to
employ persons by the law and charge
a fee for it. "The Government there.
he said, "has encouraged the establish
ment of county and state employment
bureaus, whereby the employer and
employe would be in continual close re
lationship.
30,000 People Employed In Year,
Mr. Grout said that 30,000 people
were employed in Seattle last year
through these agencies, while the pre
ceding year established a record when
38,000 received work by aid of these
bureaus.
A vast system of employment agen
cies operating in all cities of the United
States, with directors at the helm of
each state and a National head at
Washington, will solve the unemploy
merit question." Mr. Grout concluded
Discussion followed, after which A.
H. Harris, formerly editor of the Port
land Press, took the floor.
Mr. Harris read the proposed em
ployment legislation for Oregon, a pre
pared report drawn up by a committee
appointed during the last session of
the Commonwealth in May, and the
following remarks:
An alleviation for the problem of
the unemployed can be found in a sys
tem of state-supported employment
agencies, the men In charge of such
organizations to be under the Civil
Service, making the scheme nonpolit
leal, he explained.
Portland to Be Central Office.
The plan as presented provides
central office in Portland and subor
dinate offices at about a dozen of the
larger Oregon towns, as well as small
offices operated by appointed Individ
uals living in communities too small
to support a fully-organized branch
employment agency. Information re
garding Jobs would be systematized so
that the opening listed in one office
would be available to those on th
waiting list at any other branch. Sea
sonal employment of the different lo
calities would thus provide a more
nearly continuous work for the classes
in need of it.
Just before adjournment, a commit
tee composed of F. G. Young. Eugene,
chairman; A. H. Harris, Portland, and
"Mrs. Washburn, of Eugene, was ap
pointed to draw up a memorial reso
lution to be presented to Oregon's rep
resentatives in Congress with the inten
tion of keeping the rural credits sys
tem In the minds of that body.

WASHINGTON COLLEGE VICTOR AT
CORVALLIS CONTEST.
Rebnttal of Visitor Fatal to Home
Team In Spite of Clever and
Well-Made Argument.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis, Or., Dec 11. (Special.)
Washington State College tonight de
feated the affirmative team of the Ore
gon Agricultural College in one of the
series of annual debates in the Tri
State Debating League.
Oregon's affirmative team was B. J,
Garvi3 and E. H. Reibart. and Earl J
Fraley alternate, while Washington was
represented by John Binns and Tom
Perry. The question was: "Resolved,
That there should be adopted in the
Commonwealth o4 the United States
ystem of government wherein there
a ministry responsible to a
unicameral legislature and similar In
general features to that represented in
ther English-speaking countries, con
stitutionality waived." .
The judges were Professor A. L.
ean, of Pacific University at Forest
Grove, and Clyde McCulloch, of Port
land. Chester Maxey; professor of the
school of music at the college, pre-
lded.
Oregon cited the governments- of
Switzerland, England and several other
countries with responsible ministries,
arguing that responsibility of the heads
of government tends to lessen freak
and damaging legislation. The rebuttal
of Washington, however, was effective.
Oregon scored high on delivery and
general mastery of the subject.

SEATTLE. Wash-. Dec 11. (Spe
cial.) Frank Renlck, of Seattle, with
drew from the fight for Speakership of
the House today in favor of w. w.
runner, of La Conner. The action
leaves only Colonel Roland H. Hartley
of Everett. In the contest against Mr.
Conner and Colonel Hartley apparently
Is not making a campaign.
Elmer E. Halsey. of Clarkston, with
rimw in favor of Mr. Conner, of La Con
ner, at a conference at Spokane last
month. Friends of E. H. Oule. of Se
attle. have admitted the victory of Mr.
Conner for some time.
The withdrawal of Mr. Renick is in
fulfillment of a promise given imme
diately after the general election. Mr.
Renick, Mr. Conner and Mr. Gule met
and each requested the other to with
draw in his favor. Mr. Renick said
that he was in favor of a Kins County
man for Speaker and would abide by
the decision of the House delegation
from this county. Eleven of the 17
Representatives signed a pledge in a
few days to support Mr. Conner and
Mr. Renick sent word Informally to
Mr. Conner that he conceded the fact
that Mr. Conner had been elected. He
said as a matter of fact Mr. Conner
had been assured of success In the
event of a Republican victory for a
month or more. In his formal letter of
withdrawal he reiterated this statement.
Mr. Conner's campaign was made
without pledges and he has just pre
pared to send out invitations to mem
bers to suggest their committee pref
erences. Any prediction as to his final
selections must be based upon prece
dent and the personal friendships of
the Speaker-to-be. It would seem
probable that Mr. Conner would restore
J. H. Davis to the chairmanship of the
appropriation committee; that he
would give to L. D. McArdle the chair
manship of the roads and bridges com
mittee and make Captain R. . H. Fleet
ranking National Guard officer In the
Legislature, the chairman of the mili
tary committee. He might make Ed
Sims chairman of the fisheries com
mittee if Mr. Sims wants the appoint
ment. inasmuch as there is likely to
be a compromise fisheries bill agreed
upon before the Legislature convenes.
Mark Reed, of Shelton, is likely to get
the chairmanship of the tidelands com
mittee if Mr. Reed wants it, for Mr.
Reed was a member of the original
tidelands commission.

From Window to Save Her Life,
Though She Was Injured.
BAKER, Or., Dec. 11. (Special.) A
baby's cry saved the family of Arthur '
Gray from death in flames at 1:30
o'clock this morning at Halfway. Mr :
Gray heard the little one yelling at :
the top of its lungs, arose to learn the
cause and found flames bursting up the
staircase of his home. He rushed back
and awakened his wife and another
child and a Mrs. Mills, who was stay
ing at the Gray dwelling.
Mrs. Gray took the two babies, one
aged 2j years and the other an in
fant of 10 months, and leaped to safety
from a second-story window. Mrs.
Mills became highly excited and sought
to rush down the stairs, Mr. Gray
grappled with her and Anally was
forced to throw her from the window
and then leap himself. Just before the
floors in the dwelling began to fall-
Mrs. Mills back was Injured and
she was severely bruised and sus
tained possible internal injuries. Mr.
Gray was somewhat burned but not
seriously.
Mrs. Gray was suffering from tooth
ache and late last night Mr. Gray
arose, built a fire and heated some
Irons. At midnight he went back to
bed and left the fire burning and this.
it Is thought, started the blaze in the
home.
The dwelling was one of the prettiest
in Halfway. The house was a total
loss. The loss is estimated at between
3500 and $4000.
The family saved nothing and
escaped from the flames only in their
night clothes. It was cold, but neigh
bors hurried to the scene and cared
for the members of the family.
