THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXTAX, FRIDAY, JULY 2., 191H. UO CONFESSES TO SUFFRAGE Entir. Summer Stool OF IS E 12 of .GUN DISCHARGE ACCIDENT Officers Decide Inquest Unnecessary, as Boy Explains All Details of Tragedy. "I had a notion that If you killed a fay, you would bo shot or hung- for it, whether you meant to kill hrm or not." With the foregrolng- statement, made firmly, though hesitatingly, did George Miller, 10 years old, explain yesterday his efforts to hide the body of his playmate, Frank McCauley, aged 7, whom he had shot and killed acci dentally Monday, and his assertion, after the body had been found, that young McCauley had shot himself. The boy admitted the ehootlng to police yesterday. Coroner Smith and Captain Circle, head of inspectors, declared yesterday that they believed the lad's new vers ion of the killing. There will be no inquest, and police- have turned the case over to the Juvenile court. The boy is at liberty on parole to his father. 'I don't think they're going to do anything to me, do you?" young Miller queried plaintively. "They would have me in Jail if they thought I did it on Purpose, wouldn't they?' . A sympathetic listener told the boy that police would not molest him fur ther, and advised him not to worry. "I'm not worrying. That won't do any good, but I feel awful," he ended, with a break in his voice. Shot Waa Accidental. 1 According to young Miller's confes sion, he accidentally shot his playmate about 3:30 o'clock P. M. Monday, while the two were playing in a bedroom in the Miller house at 702 Vancouver ave nue. The elder boy says he was ex plaining to his companion the mechan ism of Mr. Miller's automatic pistol. "You load it this way, and shoot it this way," the boy says he announced. Then, according to his story, he pulled the trigger with the supposedly empty pistol pointing at young McCauley. An explosion followed and when the smoke cleared away, the McCauley boy lay groaning on the floor. Toung Miller carried him to the bathroom and tried to give him first-aid attendance. "He was pretty near .as big as me," the lad explained yesterday. "But he was skinny and I was so scared that I just picked him up and carried him without noticing how much he weighed." In the bathroom, the Miller boy laid his chum on the floor, and bathed a wound in his wrist. The wounded child held his hands close over his stomach, however, and the' other began to sus pect that he had other injuries. Con sequently, he says, he undressed his chum and found that the shot had pen etrate the abdomen. Boy Stopa Groaning. - "I poured water on him, and he got a little better. I guess. Anyway, he stopped groaning so much, and I ran out to get some bandages. When I got back he was dead." The lad says that at this Juncture he decided he would be executed if he were detected, and made up his mind to hide the body before his mother re turned from a visit to a doctor's Office. Putting the body of his chum on a chair, he next lifted it to a shelf over the bathtub, and from there hoisted it through a trap door in the ceiling. He dragged the body, he says, about ten feet from the trap door, and laid it on the attic floor, where It was found ty police. lie told yesterday of throwing the dead boy's clothing beside him and washing the blood stains from the bathroom. He accounted for the blood that remained by telling his mother he had cut his finger. Mr. and Mrs. Miller noticed blood stains on the ceiling of their bedroom Wednesday night. Investigation re vealed the body of the child, for whom police had been searching the city and draprging the river since Monday. Mr. Miller notified police immediately. The Miller boy is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Miller. 702 Vancouver ave nue, lie will be 11 years old Novem ber 16. He is a student in sixth grade A, at the Elliott school. The child has dark brown hair and black eyes, with glassy, nourasthenic pupils. He uses words usually beyond children his age, and appears preco cious in many ways. Inquest Is Demanded. The McCauley boy has been his chum for six months. Mrs. Miller was very fond of the latter lad. whose mother died four years ago. i?he treated him lilt's one of her own chil dren. The McCauley boy had been around the Miller home daily, she Bays, since vacation began. ' Mrs. Miller and her son went yester day to the home of Mrs. Miller's sister, Mrs. Kdward Pierre, 767 AVilliams ave nue, to escape crowds of morbidly curious persons who flocked around the Miller house. The case has excited much attention in the neighborhood lvccause most of the residents had helped look for the missing boy. J. C. McCauley, 241 Cook avenue. father of the slain youngster, insisted that Coroner Smith hold an inquest in the caso. Friends of the McCuley family declare it would have been impossible for young Miller to get the body into the attic alone. ,The plate-glass industry in Japan has greatly expanded since the world war. Before the war about 550.000 boxes of irlass were consumed annually.

DOOR NOT ENTIRELY SHUT If National Ratification DcDends on Oregon, Kxccntlve May Yet Call Legislature to An. J SALEM. Or.. July 14. (Special.) "One state waning for another, with the result that none of them get any where." was the way Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh, for more than 46 years a work er In the suffrage ranks of the nation, characterized the delay In bringing about national enfranchisement of women In an informal statement before Governor Olcott here today. Mrs. Unruh was among prominent suffrage work ers who held a conference with the executive and urged him to call a spe cial session of the state legislature so that Oregon might ratify the national suffrage amendment to the federal con stitution. Although , sympathizing with the women in their efforts to eliminate what they termed "half-family repre sentation." Governor Olcott mtiio It plain that he would not call an ex traordinary session of the legislature unless the situation throughout the na tion becomes such that the ratification of the amendment is dependent upon action of the Oregon legislature. In that event, he promised the women that he would give their request careful consideration. "Uea-lalaters May Act. The governor also told the suffrag ists that in the event a majority of the members of both houses of the legisla ture voluntarily requested a special session for ratification of the amend ment be would call them together. In either case, however, the governor said he wished it distinctly understood that the session would be called contingent only upon the various members agree ing to bear their own expenses and to forego payment of their per-diem on the part of the state. "Should a session be held," said the governor, "1 would expect the members to merely act upon the subject matter before them. No attempt should be made to exercise their functions in passage of general legislation." Continuing, the governor said: "In offering to call a special session In the event that a majority of mem bers of both houses request It. with the understanding that they pay their own expenses, 1 am taking Into con sideration the fact that the matter of ratification is one lying solely within the province of the legislature. The executive offices have power neither to veto or approve a resolution of rati fication, the act of the legislature in this regard being supreme. For this reason I feel If a majority of the mem bers wish It they should be given an early opportunity to act upon the ques tion, but In doing so they must act at their own expense and not at the expense of the state." Wom Mate Cose. Miss Vivian Pleree. representative of the national woman suffrage party, who admitted to the governor that she was active in picketing the while house in Washington in the interests of suf fragjand was once deputized to wait upon President Wilson In behalf of her Bister workers, said there waa no doubt but that the drastic means employed by the women at the capital had made universal suffrage posalhle. Mrs. Unruh confined her remarks to an explanation of the Issue and urged that some action bo t: en by the gov ernors of those str.'.es which had not yet ratified the suffrage amendment in order that the women of the entire nation might vote at the next presi dential election. - Miss Km ma Wold said she appeared In the role of a taxpayer ai.d did not believe there would bo any objection on the part of the people of Oregon to dinner a. snoclal legislative session.
