Miss Ethel Rose Tells of Jealous Suitor, but Officers Believe Glanctn Shot Responsible. "Shot by an unknown person" was the verdict returned last night by the Coroners' jury, sitting at- the inquest in the case of Walter M. Askay, who died at Good Samaritan Hospital Mon day night from a wound In the head in flicted by a supposedly stray bullet fired either by detectives Swennes or Moloney during a. chase after ..John Jones, an alleged highwayman, on Christmas night. A new angle to the case was brought out when Miss Ethel Rose, of 1592 Gravensteiu avenue, the girl who was with Askay at the time of the shoot ing, said that a Jealous suitor had threatened her life unless she con sented to marry him. Askay was riding on an outbound St. Johns streetcar when, as the car neared Fifth and Pine Btreets, a bullet crashed through the window and struck him in the neck, fracturing his skull and entering the brain. Detectives Swennes and Moloney, who had opened Are on the fleeing negro, were held responsi ble for the accident on the supposition that a wild bullet had struck a hard surface and, in glancing, found. Askay as its target. A closer investigation of the case Is expected following the story told by Miss Fthel Rose, although the original theory that Askan was accidentally shot by one of the detectives is still generally accepted. She said that Dick Cordner, alias Dickson McGregor, had threatened her when she refused to marry him. Thomas Swennes and Pat Moloney, the detectives, are anxious to have the case brought before the grand Jury for further investigation. They were not satisfied with the verdict of the Jury.

SAS ACTUALLY 'DRY SAYS CAPPER Governor-elect Declares Per Capita Liquor Consumption Is Only $1.25 a Year. 1 FARMER IN 5 HAS AUTO People of ' State Told It Is Their Dnty to Take Lead in Active Propaganda to Abolish Sa loons in Xation. TOPEKA, Kan, Dec 30. Kansas was pointed to as the proof that prohibi tion actually does prohibit in an ad dress by Arthur Capper, Governor-elect of Kansas, before the National Con vention of the Intercollegiate Prohibi tion Association here tonight. He" as serted that the fact that Kansas is prosperous and at peace with Itself is largely due to prohibition. Prohibition Is not an easy condi tion to achieve or maintain," he eald. "It takes constant vigilance and cease less' enforcement of law." Mr. Capper touched on woman suf frage In Kansas when he asserted that in the state no man can gain office on what Is known as a "wide open" plat form; that the women would defeat him If the men should fall. Per Capita Consumption Reduced. Kansas has reduced its per capita consumption of liquor to $1.25 annu ally, as compared to the $21 annual per capita consumption of the average state having saloons, the speaker pointed out. He also asserted that Kansas bad the lowest percentage of illiteracy- In the United States, largely as the result of Its 32 years of prohi bition. He compared conditions in Kan sas with those in Missouri, the nearest state with saloons. "In Missouri one farmer in 100 owns an automobile," he said, "while in Kan sas one farmer In five has a car. Mis souri has saloons, into which its people pay $80,000,000 a year. Missouri has but $20 per capita In the savings banks. Kansas, with 2,250,000 less population, has more than $100 per capita and about $600 for every family within its borders in the savings banks. Kansas Helps Jifw York. "Missouri has millions of dollars in vested in breweries and saloons, but Kansas lent $50,000,000 to New York in the panio of 1907, while Missouri declined to send a penny. Missouri's wealth has been going into saloons and breweries to an alarming extent. Kansas' wealth has been going Into silos and banks. Into safe homes. Into educational. Institutions, into town im provements." In view of these results, Mr. Capper said, "it is the duty of Kansas people to take the lead In an active propa ganda for making this a saloonless Nation." "On the west," he concluded, "Colo rado has joined the elect. On the south is Oklahoma, dry from Its birth; on the north Nebraska is striving for the right, and on the east, Missouri Is try ing to be free."

"BILL" HANLEY OPTIMISTIC Opportunity for Idle on Central Oregon Land Is Suggested. William Hanley, big smile, hearty hand-clasp, original philosophy and all, arrived In Portland yesterday and Is at the Multnomah Hotel after two cyclonic months working and trading cattle among his fat Hereford herds In Harney County. Mr. Hanley reports that a crisp Winter in Central Oregon has placed the cattle In prime condition. "I predict that the wave of prosperity that Is now being produced by the European war and other things will topple right over the crest Into our midst before we realize it," said Mr. Hanley. "It makes a man positively ashamed of man's - management - to ride over thousands of acres of easily tillable Central Oregon land lying untouched, as virgin as the day It left the Creator's hand, and then to come to Portland and meet idle men on every street and this with wheat at $1.33 and soaring." CHAPIN PARDON YET PENDS Absence of Governor West Balks Ef forts to Arrive at Terms. Because of the absence of Governor West, efforts made yesterday to arrive at terms for the pardon of W. H. Cha pln, a real estate dealer, who was sen tenced to the Penitentiary for misap propriating $3500 placed In his hands by Mr. and Mrs. William Grace, failed to be brought to a head.

All the govern ment vodka shops have been closed since the beginning of the war. and now all manner of wine shops -are closed. Even restaurants and hotels are for bidden to sell alcoholic drinks. The strange thing about it all is that no body Is grumbling and everybody Is pleased. It Is acclaimed on all sides only the Russian peasant does not know what to do with his money. The change that teetotaliara has produced in the Russian village, often so remote from the outside world, is wonderful. . Children, for instance, are being clothed In a way never dreamt of before, warmly and generously. Government vodka shops, at least. are closed forever in Russia. That much has been decided on now. owing to the pressure of public opinion. Their business Is dissolved. As a substitute. it Is proposed to establish a monopoly of sugar, In order that the poor may have a cheap supply. Heretofore, it has been out of their reach." SOBER RUSSIA.

Paul Wesslnger, Taking Man Back to Satisfy Union, Makes Him Stand All Day Pay I $24.73 Weekly. How would you like to receive $24.75 a week for killing time tn a metropoli tan brewery with the understanding that you would be "fired" If you touched anything with the Intention of working? You could drink all the beer you wanted, but If you took too much you would be "fired" for reason.

Not long before the recent general election, when the wet and dry issue was prominent, Paul Wessinger dis charged Kruptenbacher from his job as keg-washer on the ground that he was' lazy. The Brewers' Union insisted that he be reinstated and rather than face a strike or any similar difficulty at such a critical time, Mr. Wessinger agreed to return the man to his post providing he would obey orders abso lutely. When Kruptenbacher returned to work November 2, Wessinger escorted him to the washroom and ordered him to stand in one place from 7 A. M. un til noon and from 1 until 4 P.
