JURY LAYS NO BLAME
BULLET THAT CAUSED DEATH OF
WALTER M. ASKAY NOT TRACED.
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.

'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. The confer
ence was to have been held in the of'
fice of Claude McColloch, in the Jour
nal building. -
Deputy District- Attorney Collier,
who prosecuted Chapin, declared that
the only terms on which he would
agree to the parole or pardon of the
man would be that Chapin repay every
cent he embezzled, with Interest. Th
Chapln'pay $500 down and $75 a month
to the aged couple was the proposal
made and on this basis the agreement
finally may be reached.
DEATH REUNITES COUPLE
Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Flaherty Apart
Five Years Make Up as Wife Dies.
A husband and wife who had been
estranged for more than five years
were reunited at the deathbed of the
wife at the Good Samaritan. Hospital
yesterday. Mrs. T. E. Flaherty, a vic
tim of appendicitis, was the woman.
Mrs. Flaherty was stricken a week
ago and her husband. T. E. Flaherty, of
Spokane, Wash., hastened to Portland
with the hope that a "kiss and make
up" might woo his wife back to health.
He remained at her bedside constantly.

Mill & Glbbs, of New York. He will re
turn to Spokane with his 12-year-old
son Howard, who had been in custody

sible for anybody In Russia, whether
rich or poor, to obtain in any place '
whatever anything in the form of al
cohol, unless at a druggist's with a
doctor's prescription. 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."

Henry E. Gorkam la Held, Detectives
Believing- Him to Be Fake Repreaent
tatlve of Studebaker Company.
With a cash capital of $1.05, the po
lice say, Henry E. Gorham, an alleged
fake representative of the Btudebaker
Corporation of America, hired three
girl stenographers yesterday to make
an advertising tour of the state. A. H.
Brown, Portland manager of the com
pany, expressed doubt last night as to
the man's credentials, and Gorham was
arrested by Detectives Grlslm and
Vaughn, for investigation.
The first doubt as fro Gorham's relia
bility was raised yesterday when he
ordered Studebaker Company literature
sent to his. room at the Multnomah
Hotel. The messenger found that Gor
ham was not registered at the Multno
mah and the company began an Investi
gation. It was found that Gorham was
at another hotel.
Gorham hired three stenographers
yesterday, it Is reported, to assist him
in . an advertising tour of the state.
Each girl was to receive $15 a week.
"Are you congenial?" he is said to
have asked one woman. "Yes," she
replied, "I'm ' congenial to a certain
limit."
She got the position.
When Gorham was arrested he had
only $1.05 and a check for $78, in favor
of Patton Halley, another alleged rep
resentative of the company. Among
his other possessions was a card index
of possible automobile buyers In Spo
kane, other sections of Washington
and Oregon.
Mr. Brown., manager of the Stude
baker company, interviewed Gorham
with District Attorney Evans. Mr.
Brown believes that Gorham has no
connection with 'the Studebaker com
pany. The police have telegraphed to
Spokane to obtain Gorham's record
there. '

Theodore Kruptenbacher has such a
Job at Welnhard's Brewery in Portland
and he holds it by reason of the power
of the Brewers' Union.
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. M. with
