tober's fire in the Blue i'unnei iine
warehouses were adjusted.
o Fire Escape Provided.
The salvagers had hemp strung on
wires in the basement and four floors
of the building, with a redhot stove in
the center of each floor. The building
was not constructed for factory or
workshop purposes, but as a warehouse
for storage of goods, consequently it
did not have outside fire escapes.
The fire department regarded the
hemp-drying operations of the salvage
firm as an unusual hazard and for two
weeks had been urging additional pre
cautions for safety. In the meantime,
the insurance rates on the buildinsf
were raif-d. The dead are:

Three Killed by Leaping.
Twenty men were at work in the
Talbot-Walker building this morning
when the fire was discovered. It
Feemed to break out on all five floors
at once, and the whole interior of the
structure was soon ablaze. Three men
appeared at the fourth-story windows.
One leaped before the firemen below
could make any effort to catch him.
He struck on his head and was in
stantly killed. The other two were
caught by blankets held by firemen,
but they broke through the cloth and
struck the atone of the pavement and
were so severely injured that they
died.
. The firemen supposed that all the
workmen had been removed from the
building. On entering the building,
however, they found three dead men.
Four of the five- victims were Jew
ish refugees who had recently ar
rived from the war region of East
ern Russia and were under the care
of a Jewish relief society. The 17
who escaped death were mostly refu
gees. The families of the victims are
entitled . to relief from the state in
surance fund. One of the dead. Pine
roubles worth 500 in American money
and some American gold.

SNOW AIDS PLACER MINERS
Season Extended in Grants Pass
Country and Streams Ran Full.
GRANTS PASS. Or.. Jan. 26. (Spe
cial.) The heavy snows of the past
three weeks followed by nearly $0
hours of continuous rain have brought
Joy to the placer miner. Josephine
County poured into the financial chan
nels of the country more than 1150,000
of placer gold last year, which was
especially short for gold output be
cause of the extreme shortage of
water.
More than 300 prospectors and placer
miners are in the hills mining every
available creekbed and bar and every
mountain stream is running a full
head of water, which, with the melting
snow as a feeder, should extend tne
placer season far into the early Sum
mer. One man came into Grants Pass
last week with 15000 in nuggets as the
result of one month's cleanup. One
mine in the Waldo district expects a
season's cleanup of $50,000.

MUNITION MAKERS TO REST
Lloyd George Virtually Orders Ob
servance of Sundays.
LONDON. Jan. 26. In a circular ad
dressed to the munitions manufacturers.
David Lloyd-George makes the sugges
tion. which la virtualy a command, that
all Sunday labor should be abolished in
all controlled establishments.
"It is better," writes Mr. Lloyd
George, "to work overtime during the
week than have Sunday work."
This is the outcome of an investiga
tion by a special committee of the ef
fects on the production of munitions
by continuous labor involving Sunday
work, which resulted in the conclusion
that the method tended to diminish
rather than Increase the output.

TILLAMOOK. Or.. Jan. 26. (Special.)
Vance Knapp, arrested here January
17 as a tramp under the name of Tim
othy Armstrong, by Sheriff Grenshaw,
of Tillamook County, was -turned over
today to Sheriff Leaf, of Benewah
County, Idaho, as a suspect of the mur.
der of Oscar Olson at St. Maries. Idaho,
last November.
Identification of Knapp as the sup
posed murderer was not complete and
Sheriff Leaf will take the prisoner to
Portland tomorrow where Knapp, it is
said, either can establish a complete
alibi or where there are persons who
can identify him as a man working for
Oscar Olson prior to his supposed
death.
The body of Oscar Olson was never
found and, in fact, no murder was sus
pected until January t, this year, when
Sheriff Leaf, alarmed by the non-appearance
of the Idaho rancher, visited
his ranch, found the clothing gone and
discovered blood marks. At the time
of the visit four feet of snow covered
the ground and further evidence of
crime was not easily obtained. In
quiry, however, developed that Mr. Ol
son had not been seen since early in
November and that a man he had had
helping him at his farm also had dis
appeared about that time.
Knapp Is held now as a suspect of
being; the missing ranch hand. He at
first averred his name was Timothy
Armstrong. His description tallied with
that of the farm hand mentioned in
circulars. Today Sheriff Leaf and
Henry Olson, brother of the supposed
murdered man, arrived in Tillamook.
Knapp then admitted having been in St.
Maries in the Spring; of 1914, but would
not say definitely where he waa in
November and became non-communicative.
He finally said his name was
Vance Knapp, and that his people
lived In Portland.
Henry Olson had seen the ranch hand
once or twice, but he could- not be posi
tive that Knapp was the man.-
AUTO "THEFT" CLEARED
SIGNED CONFESSION IGNORED AND
SUSPECT IS FREED.
Wife, loons and Pretty, Declares Ac
tios Waa Forced by Fear That
She Woold Be Arrested,
Sentimental features abound in the
ease of Mr. and Mrs. C. B.,Clingman.
and their alleged connection with an
automobile stolen from Los Angeles.
Mr. Clingman was arrested Monday
and released yesterday, despite a signed
confession that he stole the machine.
Mr. and Mrs. Clingman ' say that the
husband signed the confession to keep
the officers from arresting his wife.
The Los Angeles authorities tele
graphed yesterday that they had no
case against Clingman. who now says
he will fight for the ownership of the
automobile. Clingman saya he bought
the machine in Los Angeles.
Mrs. Clingman, who is golden-haired
and rather pretty, fought strenuously
for her husband's release from the mo
ment she found out that he had been
arrested. She says he owns a ranch in
Texas.
"He did it to save me!" she cried
pathetically at the police station. "They
told him that they had me downstairs
and would take me right to Jail if he
didn't sign the confession. And all the
time I was at home and didn't even
know he was arrested." ,
The last scene is also laid in Port
land. A detective comes in. waving a
telegram and contorting his face with
rage.
"They don't want 'em'." the officer
thunders. "We'll have to turn Cling
man loose!"
PAY OF CLERGY SMALL
BISHOP SAYS EPISCOPALIANS
CI.INB IN OLD AGE.
but
Highest Salaries Attained at 47,
Distinct Falling oft Is Noted,
Especially After 60.
NEW TORK, Jan. 26. The average
pay of the clergymen of the Protestant
Episcopal church in the United States
is $1200 a year, according to Bishop
Lawrence, of Massachusetts, who an
nounced tonight at the annual dinner
of the Church Club here the result of
a census of salaries paid ministers of
his denomination in this country.
"There are 4420 clergymen actively
devoting their lives to the service of
tho Episcopal church sometimes called
the richest church in America, said
Bishop Lawrence.
"Yet 2522 of our clergy, more than
one-half, are paid less than $1000 a
year; 727 receive less than $1000, and
only 118 earn $5000 or more. Even
this is not all cash, but includes the
value of a house, when supplied.
"The highest average salary is earned
at 47 years of age. There is a dis
tlnct falling off in the salaries earned
by the older men, especially those over
60. Many old men performing hard
jobs are making $600 and $700 a year.
The church, therefore, today has, li
fact, if not in name, a system of vir-
tual retirement at the expense of the
old men."

The FIRST Records of
arimba Music
Marimba music is a new sensation to North American ears.
Favorite compositions played on the marimba assume a
new individuality the effects obtained arc fairly startling.
.This little-known Central American' instrument was
first presented in the United States by the Hurtado
Brothers of Guatemala at the Panama-Pacific Exposition,
where it speedily became one of the features of the Fair.
The Columbia Company is first to present its novel music
in record form.
. The instrument itself, as pictured here, is over twelve feet
long, and has wooden "keys" arranged as in the xylophone. It is
played in a manner similar to that of the better-known instrument, '
but unlike it, each key of the marimba is equipped with a novel
resonator" a triangular wooden tube that reverbrates with tre-,
inendous sonority as the key is struck.
Marimba effects are so far outside the musical experience of
'all but globe-trotters, that in Columbia Double-Disc Records
No. A1832 and A 1845, old favorites were purposely selected
to display the difference of rendering the first offering Suppe's
"Poet and Peasant" and "Pique Dame,' the second, Strauss
"Blue Danube Waltz" and "The Three Jewels" two-step of
Moreno.
Listen to these records and note the resonant, booming bass
harmonies; the sparkling, vivid "trilling" as the scale is sharply
ascended; the new impressiveness or gaiety each passage gains in
this unique interpretation and you will feel the thrill of marimba
