BARTON EATS OREGON PIE 12 Y SPA PER MAX, BACK FROM OVKRSEAS, GRATIFIES WISH. Former Oregonian Writer Brings French Bride as Souvenir or Service in Land of finuls. "I have had a piece o pie -d In Portland, Or., and now I am happy." This was the declaration of Frank W. Barton, former news writer of The Orcgouian, who arrived in Portland esterday after nearly two years spent in France. For the past year Mr. Bar ton had . been a representative of the Stars and Stripes, the soldiers news paper "over there.' 'You know there was a rhymester of the A. K. F. who had an inspiration," said Mr. Barton, "and he wrote an ef fort which ended up: 'All I want's a piece of pie baked back in Portland, Or." T have had that same longing many a time as I sent that buzz wagon over the roads of France on some mission for the Stars and Stripes. And now it has been satisfied. That's why I smile.' No, girls. Sergeant Barton that's what they used to call him before he became mere mister once more didn't come home alone. He was accompanied by Mrs. Barton, all the way from Lor- mont, I- ranee, not to mention Paris hats and gowns and other things not usually found in a soldier s baggage. Mr. and M'rs. Barton will make their home in Portland. They expect to visit Mr. Barton's parents. Mr. and Mrs. A. K. Barton, near Salem, before locating here permanently. It is not all clear sailing getting married in France, according to the story told by Mr. Barton, and then after a soldier is married he is confronted by the task of securing passports and numerous other documents to permit his wife to leave France. A newspaper man. however, is used to interviewing mayors and other officials and so Mr. liarton said he manage. to get by. Mr. and Mrs. Barton came from Brest to New York on the steamer Im pciator, landing at New York July 13. Mr. Barton had high praise for the work of the Oregon welcome commit tee in New York. "Viewed merely from the , business standpoint the committee is doing a good work," he said. "During the last month the records show they have an swered 3S0 inquiries relative to possi bilities for establishing ome business or securing employment in Oregon. These inquiries came principally from soldiers who had just been discharged and were looking, about for some good place to locate. "Not only this, but the commission is doing a. good work in welcoming the Oregon boys who land in New York en route home. Miss Peggy Curtis, fo rmerly of Portland, who is executive secretary of the commission, has done everything possible in creating a real Oregon atmosphere in the quarters of the commission, and the boys get a real Oregon welcome. "No, I wasn't gassed or bombed," ad mitted Mr. Barton yesterday, "'and I haven't got trench feet to prove that I was ever in a trench. As a matter of fact, about the most exciting thing that ever happened to me was during an air raid in Paris, when a fat man fell down on me in trying to find tr near est way to the cellar from the dormi- OREfiOX CITY BAPTIST PASTOR ll.OSES SKVKN YEARS" SKRVICE.

SLAVER CONFESSES; GIRL'S BODY FOUND Night Watchman Leads Police to Hiding Place. VICTIM PUT UNDER STEPS When Search of Home Fails, Grill ing Examination Brings Admis sion Strangling to lcath. CHICAGO, July 27. Thomas Fitx gerald. 39 years old and married, con fessed today to the police that he killed little Janet Wilkinson, 6 years old, a neighbor's child, last Tuesday by strangling her. He accompanied the police to his home and showed them where he had concealed the body beneath coal under the basement steps and it was recov ered. The solution of the mystery which has stirred Chicago as few police cases have aroused the populace came when Pltzgerald, after five sleepless days and nights, constantly kept under a gruelling examination and never-easing scrutiny, called for an officer and made his confession. Inquest Began by Jnry. The authorities acted Quickly. Al though Fitzgerald has been termed a moron by the police, the criminal ma chinery was to proceed as usual. Coro ner Hoffman quickly selected a Jury and opened the inquest. Fitzgerald was night watchman at the Virginia, a residential hotel. He lived in the neighborhood. In the same building lived the Wilkinson family. Janet was one of four children. Last December, the girl's father tes tified at the inquest, Janet came home and said Fitzgerald had attacked her. The parents preferred to hush up the affair and Fitzgerald escaped pros, ecution. But when little Janet disap peared last Tuesday morning suspicion was aroused against Fitzgerald. Some children also said they had seen her speak to Fitzgerald. Rigid Examination Snceeeda. Fitzgerald was arrested. He was questioned about the girl but denied everything. But the police held the man prisoner and subjected him to as severe an examination as few prisoners ever receive. Detectives dug into the coal pit and in the basement of the hotel. They sifted the ashes. They searched the Fitzgerald home. Lake Michigan was dragged for a mile along the shore opposite the neighborhood of the hotel. Then when the police were about to despair, Fitzgerald made his confes sion, the police announced. Dr. J. Whitney Hall of the county lunacy commission asserted that Fitz gerald appeared to be a psycho-sexual case and that he was not necessarily insane. PRETTY SHOESUNDER BAN University of California Co-eds Must Be Sensible. BERKELEY, Cal., July 27. (Special.) Young women who contemplate en tering the University of California this fall should pack up a pair or two of "sensible" shoes in their trunk before leaving home. Miss R. L. Cunningham, university physician for women, has announced a fall campaign against "pretty" shoes. She says they cause too many broken arches. "It is amazing to find that the num ber of women students who come to the university Infirmary with broken arches is so large," said Miss Cunning ham. "Sometimes the feet are hor ribly twisted, calling for supports, all caused by "pretty' shoes." Miss Cunningham is preparing the specifications of a shoe which she terms "sensible" and will carefully point out the cause of twisted feet when the students appear for physical examination at the opening of the fall semester. CHURCH MUST PAY TAXES Use for School Graduation Held to Forfeit Exemption Rights. LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 27. A school in Glendale, a suburb, held its graduation exercises in the First Meth odist church, of that city. Now the church must pay taxes on the property, according to a ruling by Deputy County Counsel Vallee. The property was placed on the tax roll by the county assessor when he was advised by Mr. Vallee that a .sec tion of the state constitution provides for the exemption of church property from taxation only when "used solely and exclusively for religious worship." This one secular function, according to Mr. Vallee, made the church liable for taxation. UKRAINIA ASKS POLES' AID Cessation of Hostilities Followed by Plan to Defeat Bolshevists. VIENNA.

Petlura declares that If the allies ever arrive at a point of understanding on the Ukrainian situation and furnish him with munitions he will be able to wrest the Ukraine from the bolshevists within a month. LEADER FIGHTS PARTITION fContlnued From Flrat Pane.) a solution would not suit the Times at all, for it would open up ominous vistas of power and dignity for an island so near and so strategically necessary to England. "At the same time, the Times cannot ignore the possibility of an all Ireland parliament as an ostensible means of rounding off a scheme which would otherwise mean naked partition. So the second part of the Times' plan pro vides for the creation of such a parlia ment, but only if and when conditions permit. ll.ter Faetlen Dlnenssed. "And what is the first and in dispensable condition? The consent of Ulster? Then as now this .small mi nority in one corner of the island is to dominate and dictate .o the whole and to decree, if it pleases, the perpetual partition of Ireland and the perpetual denial of Irish nationhood. Not one of the powers nominally transferable from the British parliament to an all Ireland parliament can be so trans ferred without the consent of both pro vincial legislatures. "What is the inducement to trans fer? What kind of a body is this all Ireland parliament to be, a normal democratically elected body like con gress or the Canadian parliament? Not a bit of it. there Is to be no elec tion. Delegations are to be sent by each of the two provincial legislatures and those delegations are to be equal In number: equal, although Ulster is only one-quarter of Ireland. Commerelnl Interests Arcane'. "But that is not alL Even these equal delegations are to be gerry mandered in order to give special rep resentation to the unionist and com mercial interests in the north and the landlord interests in the south. The result probably would be to place the great mass of the Irish people in a. posi tive minority In their own parliament. "Suppose this amazing parliament were oy a miracle to come into exist ence. Could it function, could it pass laws, could it direct a single executive act? No, except with the permission of Ulster, for the Times pitilessl. de crees that no law passed by the all- ireiand parliament shall take effect in a province until it shall have received the assent of the legislature of that province. In other words, either Ulster or the other province could paralyse, saultify and annul the acts of the na tional parliament by an unlimited and reciprocal right of veto. Dlfflenltiea Are Fnreseea. "Imagine the position of an Irish finance minister trying to make a budget. Every executive act could sim ilarly be annuled. Imagine the posi tion of any minister who tried to do anything whatever. The scheme pro poses a grotesque caricature of a fed eration. "Let Americans be the Judges. Sup pose New York or Virginia . tuld defy or set aside every federal law or execu tive act. Such is the crazy anarchy championed by the Times for Ireland. Such would be the pitch of absurdity to which deference to a small but noisy minority in northeast Ireland can lead serious men. "Is there anything serious behind this proposal of the Times? It sug gests the old method of sidetracking the Irish national claim by submerg ing It under proposals to federalize the whole United Kingdom, making Eng land. Scotland Ireland and Wales into constitute states. Carson's Asaent Held Onnrded. "But a common feature In this proj- e has been the partition of Ireland into two states. Sir Edward Carson has himself given ruarded assent to this feature, as naturally he might do, because it would finally destroy 'the Irish nation and safeguard the exorbi tant privileges he claims for his irre conclble minority. "The positive part of the Times scheme prepares the way for a clean cut between Ulster and the rest of Ire land. As to the other part of the scheme, it could never be carried out, for the constitution It proposes is a nightmare." BRITISH PREMIER IS WARY FEAR OF UNIONISTS CAUSES IRISH POLICY DELAY. Declaration That Any Tart of Ire land Can Have Home Rule Re garded as Debating Trick. BY JAMES M. TWOHT. (Copyright by the Nw 'York World. Tub. IlKheri by Hrranff-mnl. LONDON. July 27. (Special cable.) That Premier Lloyd George is resolved to do nothing for Ireland was made ap parent by his speeches during the peace debate In the house of commons. These all showed evidence of unwillingness to do anything to antagonize Sir Ed ward Carson, who holds Lloyd George's parliamentary fate in the hollow of his hand. His declaration that any part of Ire land that wishes homo rule can have it is a mere debating trick, for there is no evidence that Lloyd George is pre pared to give Ireland any home rule, and least of all the only form of home rule she will now accept, namely do minion home rule. This being a crit ical time for his government, with cab inet reconstruction ahead, and not yet having satisfied himself which way he can Jump, tho premier, apart alto gether from the certainty that Sir Ed ward Carson would turn him out of of fice by appealing to unionist sentiment if he dared commit himself to Irish reform, in wary of uttering anything but meaningless generalities about Ireland. . Meanwhile conditions of the Irish government are growing more intol erable and the extremists are gaining ground every day. CROSSING IS INVESTIGATED Temporary Permit Granted in 1913 Still Used in Morton. MORTON, Wash., July 27. (Special.) Arthur J. Lewis of the public servico commission, accompanied by J. H. Brown, secretary to the commission, and E. J. Delbridge, official reporter, were in Morton Friday, investigating the National park Highway railroad crossing leading into Morton on the north. In September. 1915, a permit was granted for a temporary crossing which has been used since that time. The oldest road leading into eastern Lewis county was blocked by the building of the Morton station. No other provi sion was ever made for a road leading out of Morton to the north. The Na tional Park highway was built to con nect with this piece coming under the temporary permit. Testimony of Attorney Barkwell, F. M. Broadbent of Morton, Mayor Harry Feagles of Morton, and others was tak en. One solution offered was to cut away the bank inside the .railroad right of way on both sides of the rail road "Y." This would give an unob structed view for an ample distance for safety approaching the railroad crossing from both sides. Auto ThieT Paroled by Court.
