SLAYER TELLS OF

GRANTS PASS. Or.. Feb. 28. (Spe
cial.) The bodies of Mr. and Mrs.
Luther B. Akers, lying at the Grants
Pass morgue, bespeak the utter de
fenselessness with which they met
their fate yesterday at the hands of a
brutal murderer.
The arm of Mr. Akers. raised before
his eyes as if to defend his Bight from
the horror of so unsuspected an as
sault, is pierced and torn by at least
four bullet holes.
The Akers family and Bousman lived
on adjoining tracts on Bull Creek, four
miles from Wilderville and ten miles
from Grants Pass, a half mile or more
from the main county road.
Attack Is Related.
Bousman relates how he heard
Akers harness his team preparatory to
fe-oins to Wilderville to Sunday school
when he slipped down into the brush to
ambush him. Once he says his courage
forsook him and he determined he
could not kill them.
Turning homeward he saw Akers
and his wife rounding a little bend in
the road almost upon him and sudden
ly he saw red and began firing. His
first shot took effect on one of the
horses, when Mrs. Akers. terror
stricken, implored him to desist from
his bloody assault.
She was shot through the lungs and
instantly killed. According to Bous
man's story, Akers then attempted to
alight from the wagon to defend him
self when Bousman poured a volley of
lead into him and continued firing
until all his ammunition was gone,
seven shells in all. Both horses were
shot, although one did not die until
witnesses arrived at the scene of the
murder late in the afternoon.
. Coroner's Jnry Give Verdict
The Coroner's jury, consisting of W.
O. Hill. J. B. Robinson, A. M. Rutten
cutter Paul Ruttencutter and C. H. Mc
Cann. of Wilderville. and E. V. Smith.
ct Grants Pass, today indicted Bous
man for the death of both Mr. and
Mrs. Akers. Bousman will waive pre
liminary hearing and be bound over
to grand jury, which meets in April,
when he probably will be indicted for
murder in the second degrse.
It is believed that Bousman will
plead guilty in Circuit Court. Feeling
aealnst Bousman is running high in
the Wilderville district and when Bous
man was arrested last nght he refused
to admit the Sheriff until assured there
was no danger of mob violence.
Bousman had- attempted to end his
life with poison, but took an overdose
which acted as an emetic He recount
his deed with utmost composure. .

ONE million, five hundred ana tnir-ty-five

volved in the transaction which
transformed Charlie Chaplin, the king
of comedy, into a Mutual player, ac
cording to a telegram received yester
day by G. A. Reed, manager of the
Portland branch of the Mutual Film
Corporation, from its president, John R.
Frueler.
Several days ago a semi-official re
port was issued at the New York Mu
tual offices that Chaplin bad been
signed for a bonus of tl00,000, a week
ly salary of $10,000 and a percentage of
the business resulting from his re
leases. At that time the money had
not been paid over to Chaplin, and
frantics efforts were being made by
rival concerns to lure him from the
Mutual fold. Thus the telegram re
ceived yesterday is the first official
Information divulged on the all-Impor
tant question which has agitated film-
dom for months.

Including salary, cost of production.
etc. is by far the biggest player deal
ever consummated in the moving-picture
industry. Naturally, the appear
ance of Chaplin in Mutual films will be
exclusive and calls for a series of regu
lar releases.
While further information relative
to the number of appearances Chaplin
will make on the screen during the
year, the length of subjects, etc., will
not be divulged until a letter is re
ceived, undoubtedly Charlie will be
surrounded with a company of his own
to produce comedies which he will
direct.
The attitude of the comedian toward
slapstick work, followed by a number
of statements from him that he aspired
to a more subtle brand of humor, will
be awaited with Impatience by the pub
lic. While many contend that his popu
larity is on the wane, yet the strenu
ous combat waged among the big pro
ducers for his services shows that they
have the utmost faith in his ability to
fill their coffers.
Portland'- position is best evidenced
by the packed houses which have al
ways greeted Chaplin films, and, more
recently, the way the fans crowded, into
the National Theater Sunday and yes
terday to witness "Charlie's First Va
cation." a foreign-assembled feature
presenting the comedian in some of his
early successes, togetner witn a iew

nctnres In China.
Motion pictures have triumphed In
China. Yuan Shai Kai's subjects may
bu divided on politics and other issues,
but on one they are united. About all
of them, according to B. Broadsky, now
in San Francisco, have turned fans of
the screen. It was not always thus.
Broadsky is the man who Introduced
motion pictures in the Orient. Now he
is head of the China Cinema Company,
the only producing company in China.
He crossed the Pacific with a motion
picture projector seven years ago and
opened a theater In Canton. For a
week he showed the latest American
"releases." and not a man went to the
show. The cowboys raced across the
desert and rescued the mine owner's
daughter, the hero killed the villain,
but it was all to an empty house.
Broadsky was on the verge of aban
doning the venture, when he decided
to force success by hiring audiences.
He paid every chinaman who would at
tend his show one yen. The first night,
with a packed house, he put on an
especially lively Wild West reel. When
the outlaw band and Sheriff's deputies
got into a duel the Chinese mobbed
the screen. They thought it was real.
Broadsky came out with two black
eyes and a broken rib. He persisted
and afterward the craze took. He owns
more than 100 theaters now.

GERMANY REPEATS

Berlin Upholds Right to Sink

distinction between resistance and of
fense. It holds that a merchant ship
has a right to resist capture, but not
to act offensively. Of course, it is ad
mitted, a vessel loses all immunity
while in the act of resisting.
Authoritative information obtained
here tonight indicated that the British
irnvernment probably would combat the
allegations of Germany tnai eriiisn
shlna ostensibly armed for defense are
in reality armed for offensive purposes.
It was said that British masters had
not been instructed to hunt for sub
marines, but, on the contrary, they had
been told to do everything possiDie io
avoid the craft, and that only in the
event of a hostile submarine approach
ing without warning near enough to
use bombs or torpedoes were the skip
pers authorized to use their guns.
ah thin era considered, the state de
partment is understood to feel that the
possibility is more or less remote of
rifffMiiti nrisine- in the near future
as a result of the new German and
Austrian policy.
Proof of Armament Required.
Tn th first nla.ee. officials believe
that commanders of German and Aus
trian submarines will take particular
care not to attack without warning
armed merchant vessels upon which
there may be Americans. This belief
is strengthened by the declaration in
the German note received today, which
was acquiesced in by Austria, through
R.mn v. wipfi i n elf. Charee of the Em
bassy here, that the orders issued to
the naval commanders were so iormu
lated as to prevent the destruction of
enemy liners "on account of their
armament unless such 'armament is
proved."

inclined to resent the repetition oi

German government has given a false
impression or me atmuae ot m"
Government. It wan even suggested
that should the United States reply
to the communication presented today
it may take occasion to point out the
erroneous construction piacea upon
several of these expressions.
The communication from Germany
probably will be considered by Presi
riont Wilann onrt his Cabinet tomor
row, and official indication regarding
it is expected soon tnereaner.

The note at the outset reiterated the

then goes on the say that the German

Germany contends that a similar

from the Italian government that its
armed merchant ships leaving Amer

which warned uiem.
The note then sets forth that the
German government did not issue its
new instructions to submarine com
manders until after it had come into
possession of confidential instructions
by the British government to the com
manders of British merchantmen. It
is denied that armed British merchant

Tii .h.rirA la mftiiA that Austrian

by the British government in a memo

Spring-Rice, the British Ambassador.
The German government says it cannot
see how the American Government, in
consideration of these facts, can regard
armed British merchantmen at peace

The note makes it clear that the Ber-

structions to submarine commanders
are in accord with me viewpumi. ex
pressed by the United States in its
irinT-n nmnnHin? a. modus Vi
vendi to the entente allies, for the dis
armament of mercnant snips.
It declares that German submarine
commanders have been so instructed
that they will not dstroy a merchant
ship on a question of armament, unless
It is known positively that such arma
ment exists. The declaration that pre
vious pledges will not be revoked also
Is formally given.
Suggestion I Welcomed.
The efforts of the United States to
have the belligerents agree to a modus
Vivendi which would cause all merchant
ships to be disarmed, it is declared, are
welcomed by Germany.
Then follows a declaration tnat the
government of Germany will no longer
allow its submarines to be made the
object of attacks in violation of the
principles of international law and
that, therefore, the new instructions
will 'not be postponed or modified.
Appended to the communication,
which was signed by Count von Bern
storff. was a list of about 20 incidents
where it is charged German and Aus
trian submarines have been attacked
by merchantmen armed ostensibly for
defensive purposes.
At no place in the communication i
it suggested that American citizens be
warned to remain off armed merchant
ships and the question of what con
stitutes defensive armament is not
brought up, although it is admitted in
various quarters that such a question
probably will be raised.
Precedent Not to Be Set
Iff regard to the reference made in
the note to permitting Italian ships to
sail to American ports, it was said at
the State Department that it should be
clearly understood that pledges were
required to meet special cases as they
arose and that it was not intended to
establish a precedent or lay down a
rule. Officials also declared emphat
ically that Germany had not been asked
to postpone or change the new orders
to her naval commanders. They ex
pressed wonder that such a statement
had been included in the German note.
It was explained in Teutonic quar
ters that the information contained in
the note other than that applying di
rectly to the reiteration of assurances
given in the Lusitania case was given
for the information of the State De
partment, it being known that there
was some delay In receiving from Ber
lin the complete appendices to the Ger
man memorandum.
From entente diplomatic sources
came the information that what had
been described as Italy's reply to the
suggestions of the United States for
a modus Vivendi providing ror tne dis
arming of merchant ships in the in
terest of humanity in reality was a re
Dort of Italy's position as outlined to
Ambassador Page at Rome by the Ital
ian Foreign Office and forwarded to
the State Department.
Italy Preparing Answer.
This was in the form of an explana
tion of the conditions which had
prompted Italy to arm her merchant
ships, especial reference being made
to the sinking of the Ancona, prior to
which no Italian ship had been armed.
It was asserted with emphasis that
Italy's formal answer to the American
memorandum would be in accord with
that of Great Britain, France, Russia
and Japan.
Congress gave the armed ship ques
Hon little attention today. About the
only development at the Capitol was
the issuance of a statement by Repre
sentative Cooper, of Wisconsin, rank
lng minority member of the foreign
affairs committee, saying he thought
tho committee was entitled to have
the correspondence between the United
States and belligerent nations regard
ing the rights of belligerents and neu
trals. '
"More than any one other thing, se
cret diplomacy caused the European
war," said Mr. Cooper. "We want no
secret diplomacy in this country to
plunge the United States into war or
into a position which might make war
practically inevitable!."

HARRTSBURG, Pa.. Feb. 28. The
strike of 1200 miners at Lykens was

Stuppy, whose discharge caused the
walkout, received work at another col
liery. Mrs. C. Joseph Weller, Canandalgua,
N. T.. writes: "Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy Is a splendid medicine for
children. I gave it to my little girl last
Winter when she had the whooping
cough. It relieved her immediately
when she began to whoop or cough, and
was about the only medicine I could
get her to take. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy deserves all the good I can say
of it."

"A few years ago I used a couple of
bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
in my family when my children had
whooping cough and I am pleased to
say that it relieved them of the cough
ing almost immediately after they be
gan using it. Knowing this remedy to
be free from opiates I never hesitate to
recommend It to parents for their children."
