Fred Goodfellow, aped 55, was in
tantly killed at Goldsmith and Albina
avenues at 3 o clock yesterday aiter
noon when an automobile driven by
Clayton Miller, aged 21, struck a wood
truck which Goodfellow was driving.
Miller was taken to police headquar
ters, where he faces a tentative charge
of manslaughter. Witnesses to the ac
t-ident, including City Health Officer
Parrish and William Cornfoot, assert
Miller wao badly intoxicated. When
he arrived at police headquarters he
was in such a stupor that police had to
carry him to a bed at the emergency
hospital.
Accordinir to Dr. Parrish, Goodfellow,
who was a teamster for the Albina Fuel
company, was driving down Goldsmith
into Albina avenue when the machine
driven by Miller and occupied by three
boy companions crashed into it at the
street intersection. Dr. Parrish asserts
the machine was traveling at 40 miles
an hour.
Driver Dead When ricked l'p.
The machine struck the wagon
tongue, breaking it in half. The wood
team became frightened and in running
away threw the driver from the wagon.
They then dashed down Goldsmith ave
nue for 200 feet, dragging Goodfellow
along the pavement. He sustained
fractured skull and was dead when Dr.
Parrish reached his tide.
After striking the front of the wood
wagon Miller's machine swerved across
the street and plunged into a heavy
truck owned by fields & Foreman. The
front of the machine was almost com
pletely demolished.
According to the arresting officers
and Dr. Parrish, Miller was so intoxi
cated when they reached the machine
that he could not walk. An examina
tion by internes at emergency hospital
showed that he had been drinking al
cohol, they said.
Two of the three young men in the
machine with Miller were taken to po
lice headquarters to be held as wit
nesses. The third member of the party
made his escape. The two young men
gave the names of C. L. Hawthorne, 388
Third street, and W. R. Phillips, 712
West Twenty-first street, Vancouver.
Miller Wai on Vacation.
Miller is employed as a driver for the
Vopan Candy company. He lives with
a sister at 205 North Twentieth street,
Jle began a two weeks' vacation Thurs
day. Officials of the company said he
had worked for them for a year and
had always been a sober and industri
ous employe.
According to statements made by
Hawthorne and Phillips, there had been
no drinking in the machine, and they
said they did not know Miller was
drunk, although they knew that he was
driving in a reckless manner. 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.
A coroner's jury called by Coroner
Earl Smith last night held young Miller
responsible for the death of Goodfellow.
The jurors verdict held that Miller was
-driving the machine in a reckless man
ner when it struck the wood wagon.
Testimony further showed that Miller
was under the influence of liquor. Dr.
Smith said the young man was not
completely sober last night, but he
:refused to offer any testimony. The
two young nven in the car with him
.also were ordered held, pending grand
fjury action.

BRITONS HIT PROFITEERS
ECONOMIC COVNCIIi FAVORS
COILECTIVE BUYING.
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.

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.

areas of the negro district on the south
side, where more than 6000 state troops
patrolled the streets, with the bulk of
the police force and nearly 2000 special
policemen on duty.
As a precaution against a possible
displacement of the order that had been
maintained today. Chief of Police Gar-
rity closed all saloons, cabarets, athletic
clubs and other places or assemoiy, ex

Although officials generally ex

Bad check operators who have been
