were held from automobiles in streets
nearby.
When Mr. De Valera was introduced
wild cheering burst forth from boxes,
balconies and floor, members of the
audience jumping to their 'feet ' and
waving flags and hats vigorously. The

Justice Cohalen said the purpose of
the meeting was three-fold:- To pay
honor to the president of the "Irish re

nor did be allude to the proposal to

He asserted a hope that he would have

ter. Chairman Hurley said:
"I feel that my own work has bee
done. In handing you my resignation

American isolation, the president as
serted, was ended 20 years ago when
the war with Spain put the nation In
partial control of Cuba and the Philip
pines. "But we have not exploited
them." he continued. "We have bean
their friends and have sought to serve
them. .... There can be no question
f our ceasing to be a world power.
The only question Is whether we can re
fuse the moral leadership that is of

"The atase Is set. the destiny dis

our conceiving, but by the hand of God.
who has led us into this way. We can
iKt turn bark. We can only go for
ward, with lifted eyes and freshened
spirit, to follow the vision."
Leasrue Deemed eceaary,
Alluding to skepticism with which
the plan of a lvague of nations was
received, the president said that as the
peace negotiations proceeded it became
apparent to all the delegates that such
a concert was "a practical necessity,
demanded by "all the peoples of th
world." For the I'r.ited States to reject
it. he asserted, would "break the heart
vt the world." Pointing out that minor
compromises were necessary to-secure
the support of all the Interested na
tion?, he continued:
"The treat), as a result, is not ex
actly Kbit we would have written. It
Is rrobably not what any one of the
national delegates would have written.
Hut results wire worked out which on
the whole bear test. I think that it will
be found that the compromises which
were accepted as Inevitable nowhere
cut to the heart of any principle."
Treaty Be rnhlt.brs.
In disregard of precedent, the senate
received the address in open session and
afterward ordered that the treaty be
published in the Congressional Record
and as a public document. The ga.
lertes were overflowing and crowds un
ab'e to gain admission awaited in the
Tain to cheer the president when he ar

the house crowded into the rear of the
senate chamber and most of the cabi
ret were seated near the vice-president's
desk
Speaking from the same platform,
where SO months ago. he astounded

LONDON, July 10. (Special Cable.)
The display of fireworks on peace night
in Hyde park will be on a scale of mas
nificance without precedent in this
country. Among the special features
will be a colossal device .bearing the
words, "Victory, thanks to the boys."
Huge fire portraits will show the
king, the queen and the prince of
Wales. Premier Lloyd George will be
shown In a gigantic portrait, and an
other portrait will group Sir David

gorgeous colors, the central one SO feet

There will be a great flight of special
shells, described as "a jazz cloud." Al
together there will be upward of 100
items. The catalogue prepared by the
government will be highly picturesque
The display will end with a colossal
device of "God save the king" ancj an

Loudon yesterday there .were double
files- of men and women outside the
fireworks shops, many having assem
bled long before breakfast.

RAIN TODAY'S FORECAST
Cooler Weather Predicted After Heat
of Last Few Days.
The weather man was right. Tester-
day bore out his prediction of "fair
and continued warm," and to such ef
fect that the official mercury stood at
89 degrees above, or one degree more
than the temperature of the two pre
ceding days and the highest mark of
the-season here. A gentle breeze served
to tone down the vigor of the sun,
however, and Ihose- who did not con
sult the thermometer were generally
of the opinion that the heat had mod
erated a degree or so.'
In other sections of the state the day
was not so rigorous as its predeces
sors. The registration for Medford
was 98 degrees, and 84 degrees for
Baker. At Walla Walla, Wash., it was
92, a distinct drop from Wednesday's
record of 104 degrees.
The prediction for today is for prob
able showers and a cooler clime, with
soft winds from the northwest.

- OLTMPIA, Wash., July 10. (Special.)
Information concerning a woman
missing from Portland or other Oregon
point is sought by officers as the laSt
probable clew to the mystery of a mur
der committed a month or more ago
within a mile and a half of Plum sta
tion, seven miles south of this city.
The body of a woman, buried face
down and with no clothing on save an
undergarment, was found there late
last night in a shallow grave by T. H.
Pitner not far from the Pacific high-,
way.
Today's investigation by city and
county officers develops testimony that
a car bearing an Oregon license stood
nearthe spot all day on June 9 and
until a late hour that night. Residents
of the vicinity state that the car was
headed north when they noticed it sev
eral rods off the highway. They did
not note the license number or make.
but the obtainable description indicates
it was probably a seven-passenger
car with dark body. ,
Man Seen In Anto.
Mr. Pitner informed the officers that
when he saw the car late in the evening
a man was sitting in the back seat. He
described the solitary occupant as be
ing either dressed in a soldier's uniform
or a suit resembling khaki. No one
else in the neighborhood saw anyone
about tho car.
Under examination conducted at the
morgue this afternoon by Coroner Mills
the body appeared to be that of a
woman between 25 and 35 years of age,
five feet six inches tall, stoutly built,
weighing about 125 pounds, and with
thick and long dark-brown hair. A
green auto veil was still wrapped
around the neck, with a collar of what
appeared to be heavy lace.
Gold Ring Found in Ashes.
A three-piece green cloak belt, with
a large round button, was found In the
grave with the body. ' Everything else
on the body, except underclothing, had
been destroyed, supposedly in the burn-
ing of the bunk house located across
the road from where the auto stood.
In the ruins the officers found a plain
gold ring, too badly burned to reveal
any initials. It will be more closely
examined by jewelers.
From the barking of dogs neighbors
living near the scene fixed the burning
of the house at 2 o'clock of the morning
of June 9. The date is fixed from a
diary kept by Mrs. E. J. Hodge, who
next morning made note of the fire.
As nearly as could be ascertained by
a medical examination the woman was
killed by terriffic heavy blows upon
the had,the skull was crushed badly
and the lower right jaw broken. Fur
ther hope of indentity is based on the
large amount of gold and other filling
found in the victim's teeth.
Dental Inquiry Made. -
As described by Dr. W. W. Miller,
who made a clone 'examination, the
dental work consists of Inlay in the
left upper central to restore a corner
of the tooth, a Richmond crown on the
left upper lateral, a Logan crown on
the right upper central and gold
crowns on the upper right and lower
left first molars. Both upper wisdom
and the left lower wisdom teeth are
missing. Dental records of such work
are now a subject of close inquiry.
especially in Oregon.
Dr. Kenneth N. Partlow in an ex
amination as thorough as the condi
tion of the body would permit, failed
to find , marks or scars that would
make the description more complete.
Idaho Man Wanted.
Olympia authorities are attempting
to get in communication with an Idaho
man who drove by the scene of the
burned building the morning after
and in conversation liter at the school
house remarked that the fire had re
sulted from a man leaving a lighted
cigarette there. This observer had
been employed all summer at the Whale
Oil Works at Bay Center on Grays
Harbor and was then returning home
with his family In a wagon. Offioers
believe he may beable to give some
definite information as to who left
the cigarette.
T. H. Pitner, a farmer, discovered the
grave late last night when returning
home from building fence on a densely-
wooded part of his own farm. He ac
cidentally noticed newly-turned
ground over which ferns and sticks
had been scattered, and Investigated.
With a little digging he encountered
the dead woman's foot and continued
his quest until the body was uncov
ered. Officers were notified and the
body brought to Olympia shortly be
fore midnight.
Grave Carefully Dog.
Today's examination revealed the
fact that the grave had been carefully
dug and that an axe had been used to
cut off a root that was in the way.
Tt is supposed from the condition of
