They said Miller had picked them and an other young man up at Broadway and Stark street to take them to Columbia Beach. They both professed not to know the name of the man who had made his escape. Mr. Goodfellow had been employed by the Albina Fuel company for several months. He is survived by a widow and two children. Jury Holds Miller Responsible.

United States Asked to Join In In 1 ternational System to Curb High Prices. LONDON. Aug. 1. (By the Associat ed Press.) Steps toward international collective purchasing of foodstuffs to check profiteering and speculation, which are declared to be rife in all countries, were taken today by the supreme economic council. The return to the system in vogue during the war was proposed by the British. French and Italian representatives. The pro posal was referred to a committee which will co-ordinate the plan and present it to the American government with an invitation for its co-operation. The members of the council stated they recognized that profiteering and speculation had been going on general ly for some time, but the activities toward unwarranted price-raising dur ing the past 30 days is considered alarming. This was due, the members believed, to a sharp fall in the harvest prospects in the past month. It was pointed out there was no reason to be lieve there was not sufficient food to last throughout 1920, and there was no reason for the undue advance of prices. All the members of the council aerreed it was necessary for the United States to co-operate in the collective buying plan, because at the present time the United States i supplying such great quantities of food to Europe that the collective system without tile United States would virtually be pitting the buyer against the seller.

Salem 'Soldier Is at New York. SALEM. Or., Aug. 1. (Special.) William E.

Mangis participated in a number of engagements. i - vv f y? ' 1 1 v - i 1 1 ? ' ' - t ' v . I ; 'i c v i E , If - ," ,w h - 4 J j If a special session of the legislature is called by the governor and there is no assurance that one will be called, a resolution will be introduced to refer to the people the proposal of trans ferring the state capital from Salem to Portland. Considerable sentiment has been ex pressed by some members of the legis lature against Salem and Marion county. This feeling has been voiced by eastern ftmrnn men. other than members of the house or senate. The way MarlonM county voted in the special election, June 3. on the reconstruction pro gramme aroused the antagonism of eastern and central Oregon in partic ular. Marlon county objected to the meas ure which would have piacea a state hospital In Tortland. Marion county voters took a negative instead of an affirmative position right down the litre. .Measures intended to aid re turned soldiers met with opposition from Marion county. , Own Roads Favored. On the other hand. Marion county bonded itself for JSOO.000 for hard-surfacing roads within its borders, and may spend some of this money next year. The county voted against the $6,000,000 road bond issue in 1917. al though $1,000,000 is being spent by the state highway commission on the Pa cific highway through that county. So far. the only reason assigned for a special session is to take up the mat ter of the ratification of the woman's suffrage amendment to the federal con stitution. If the legislature convenes, however, its work cannot be limited to that or any other thing, for once in session the members may introduce all the bills they desire and they may con tinue in session as long as they please. .They may 'serve without pay, if they wish, but this would not prevent them from employing all the clerks :ind stenographers they desire, and running up a big expense of clerical hire and printing bill, to say nothing of supplies and postage stamps. Highway Tinkerinrc Planned. An attempt has bean made to drag the Roosevelt highway bill into the women s plan for a special session, The argument made is that the high way bill will have to be amended to the extent of eliminating the maintenance clause. Two of the committee of three who went to Washington to solicit fed eral aid declare that there is no oc casion for the legislature to tamper with the highway bill at this time. The measure is before congress and not until a report comes from the com mittee to which it has been assigned will it be known whether or not the measure should he amended or modi fied by the Oregon legislature. It is certain that the members of the legis lature in the counties affected by the Roosevelt highway are not clamoring for a special session in order to make changes. Thus far the few members of the leg islature who have expressed a willing ness to return to Salem are senators-or representatives from nearby counties, who would not be inconvenienced, and who would be under very little ex pense. The Marion county delegation is ready to have the extra session. BAKER SENATOR IS AROUSED Special Suffrage Session Is Op posed by A. A. Smith. SALEM, Or.. Aug. 1. (Special.) Dis approval of a special session of the Oregon legislature to ratify the wom an's suffrage amendment to the federal constitution in accordance with the re strictions imposed by Governor Olcott. is expressed in a letter received at the executive offices today from Senator A. A. Smith of Baker county. "I today received a letter from an or ganization seeking to have a special session of the legislature called for the purpose of -ratifying the woman's suf frage amendment," writes Mr. Smith. "With this communication is enclosed a letter to yourself asking that I sign the same and send it to you. In the letter to be forwarded is included a statement that the writer is willing to forego per diem and mileage in order that the session may be free of costs to the state. "From the communication received I am advised that you have stated tha you would not call a special session unless it was requested by the legis lators themselves and further that the legislators should serve without per diem and mileage, and that there should be no matters transacted except the suffrage amendment. "Acting upon your suggestion this or ganization is seeking to have the leg islators waive per diem and mileage and request you to call a special ses sion. "This absolutely does not meet my approval, and I think it is unfair that the legislators should be placed in a position of apparent opposition to the calling of a special cession where cir cumstances are such that they do not feel it just that they should be asked to attend this session without mileage nd per diem. Representative A. R. Hunter and Sen tor Walter M. Pierce, both of Union county, also have written letters to Governor Olcott requesting that a spe cial session of the legislature be called to ratify the woman's suffrage amend ment. Representative Hunter says: "I am very busy but would gladly waive my per diem and mileage and give two or three days to the cause." Senator Pierce writes: "I am positive, in my opinion, that you ought to call a special session of the legislature to ratify the woman's sufrage amendment. I would be glad to offer my time, free from all expenses, to attend such a session. "There has been considerable news paper criticism and discussion of the soldiers' and sailors educational bill, proposed by the last legislature .nd enacted into a law by the people at the special election last June. Senator Smith of Coos county, and myself drew this bill. If there are ambiguities in the law or if it should in fairness to the secretary of state's office, be amended, as I am inclined to think it should be, to carry out more perfectly the Intention of the people so clearly expressed at the June election, I think you ought to include the amendment of this law as one of the duties of the special session.
