REVELATIONS MAY COME
Reopening of Humbert Case Is Xow
Possible Official Pulled Out ot
Bed to Grant Stay.
PARIS, Sept. 19. FierreLenoir. tried
with Senator Humbert and other de
fendants on charges of treason and
sentenced to death, was saved from a
firing squad which had already taken
Its place at dawn today. The charge
was that he communicated military in
telligence to the enemy.
This dramatic escape from death, in
the Vincennes woods, was the subject
of lively conversation in political cir
cles here today
With the firing squad already in
place, preparations were being made
to escort Lenoir out to meet death
when the condemned man begged to be
confronted with former Premier Cail
laux, who is under charges similar to
those on which Lenoir was convicted.
He said:
"At the moment of death, I repeat
what I have always vainly asked to
be confronted with Joseph Caillaux."
(Joseph Caillaux, former premier of
Prance, now is under arrest in a hos
pital near Paris on charges similar
to those upon which Lenoir was con
victed.) Cases Declared Connected.
Lenoir then argued that the action
of the court had shown that his case
and that of M. Caillaux were connected.
Lenoir's lawyer then demanded that his
request to be confronted wiV1 M. Cail
laux be communicated to the under
secretary of military justice. This was
done, and the order to postpone the
execution was received two hours later.
When he heard that he was not to
be executed this morning, Lenoir said:
"Before God and man I 'swear I am
jjo traitor.
The execution was suspended and
the condemned man remained in his
cell.
Nothing has been officially given out
concerning the personages who may be
affected by Lenoir's death-door accu
sations but members of the chamber
of deputies, discussing the matter, de
clared the Caillaux case was mentioned
and also that the name of Ernest Judet,
former owner of the Paris newspaper
L'Eclair, who is under indictment here
on a charge of having had dealings
with the enemy in the purchase or
founding of French newspapers with
German capital, came up. Judet, for a
Jons time, has been in Switzerland.
Humbert Case Nay Be Reopened.
The arrest of another member of the
chamber of deputies, and also of a
prominent newspaper owner is said to
be expected shortly in connection with
Lenoir's statement, and it was even
asserted that his revelations might
cause a reopening of the Humbert case.
Lenoir's escape from the waiting ex
ecutioners was nothing short of
miraculous. Captain Julien declining to
postpone the execution, signing the
register of the Sante prison, account
ing for Lenoir and ordering Lenoir to
proceed to enter the waiting automobile
which was to convey him to the Vin
cennes wood and death. M. Demolines,
Lenoir's lawyer, nearly had an alterca
tion with Captain Julien, while . en
deavoring to obtain a few minutes
.J?spite for the prisoner in order that
he might telephone to Mr. Ignace, under
secretary of state for military justice.
Off trial Aroused in Night Clothes.
Having secured the permission to
telephone, M. Demolines then entered
an automobile and raoed to the home
of M. Ignace, who received him in his
night clothes at 5 o'clock In the morn
ing and made the stay of execution of
the sentence indefinite.
Meanwhile .Lenoir will remain in his
oell and await eventualities. In con
nection with the reprieve it may be
remembered that Bolo Pasha succeeded
in postponing his execution ten days
while making revelations.

Oregon Consistory Kinds Old Temple
Inadequate Land in Cedar
Hill Addition Purchased.
The purchase of a tract of land, com
prising about 10 lots in what is known
as the Green estate property, between
Fordi street and Green avenue, near the
head of Washington street, by the
trustees of Oregon Consistory No. 1,
of the Scottish Rite Masons, has
brought to light plans of that organ
ization for the erection of a new tem
ple which it is expected to make one
of the most magnificent buildings of
the kind in the country.
P. S. Malcolm, who Holds the position
of inspector-general of the organiza
tion for the state, in a talk before a
recent meeting of the lodge said that
fit was hoped to jnalce the new temple
one of the best in the United States.
An architect is to be employed for the
drawing up of preliminary plans and
it is expected to have some sort of a
working idea for the new building
within the next two months.
The Oregon Consistory is said to
have outgrown its present cathedral at
Morrison and Lownsdale streets and
it was for this reason that the new
step was decided upon.
The new site is in Cedar Hill addi
tion to the city of Portland and com
prises about 48,880 square feet of
ground. It is located on a rise jus up
the hill from the intersection of Twenty-third
-and Washington streets and
furnishes a beautiful view, and there
fore an advantageous position for a
magnificent structure such as it Is
hoped to put up.

Military Camp Authorities.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. Tompkins
Mcllvain, acting chairman of the mili
tary training camps association, before
the senate military committee pro
nounced the war department's bill for

tion of the so-called national service
act introduced by Senator Chamber
lain, democrat of Oregon, at the in
stance of the military training camps
association, which he- argued would
coat but little more than half of the
$900,000,000 estimated cost of the ad
ministration bill.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 19. Preparations
for the test- of strength between or
ganized labor and capital in the steel
industry throughout the United States
to begin Monday went forward today
with both sides confident of the out
come. There were no official state
ments forthcoming from either side, but
informal talks indicated that they were
ready for the contest.
Representatives of steel companies In
the Pittsburg district let it be known
that they intend to operate their plants
Monday and also let the impression go
out that they do not look for as large
a walkout as the union leaders assert
will take place.
Labor Expects Bio; Walkout.
Organized labor expects a big turn
out of men and predicted that the em
ployers will receive the surprise of
their lives. Neither side will venture
figures. Both frankly confessed they
do not know how many men will re
main at work or fail to answer the
whistle. Monday only can tell, they
said.
Steel companies in many cases are
understood to have canvassed their
men to get an idea of the number of
men who will strike. Union leaders
said that from their experiences these
canvasses usually trove to be Inac
curate and pointed to past strikes
where a majority of men in a plant
have signed up not to strike and then
quit when the time came.
It was said tonight that in a number
of plants some men have already quit
and sought work in other places.
National Leaders bo Home.
All the national leaders of unions
involved in the strike had left the city
tonight for their respective headquar
ters to make final plans for the strike,
and much of the activity about the
offices of the steel workers' national
committee had to do with the prepara
tions in the Pittsburg district. While
national headquarters are in this city,
in charge of William Z. Foster, secre
tary of the national committee, it was
learned that much of the work will be
conducted by districts.

Koan Mara, Bound or Japan, Is
Forced to Return When In
Danger of Capsizing.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Sept. 19.
(Special.) A big elephant running
amuck aboard the Japanese freighter
Koan Maru, Captain Tamanaki, started
a dangerous shifting of freight which
caused the serious injury of five mem
bers of the crew. The freighter, which
sailed for Yokohama two days ago with
a general cargo, was forced to put
about and return to port to land the
men for medical attention. She ar
rived here today.
The old circus performer, which was
being transported to Yokohama, broke
loose when a storm began to toss the
vessel. As he plunged about he caused
some of the essential fastenings to
break. . The movement of the vessel
caused serious displacements of the
cargo and for a time it was feared
the vessel might capsize.
As the five members of the crew
were busy trimming ' cargo several
lashings gave way and the men were
crushed between packing cases of
freight.

KEY WEST, Sept. 19. Imbedded in
quicksand under 40 feet of water, off
Rebecca ehoals lighthouse, divers to
day found the hulk of a vessel be
lieved to be ths Spanish passenger
liner Valbanera, which has been miss
ing since the eastern portion of the
Gulf of Mexico was swept by a hurri
cane ten days ago.
The divers employed by the Cuban
consul here, after the sunken wreck
was discovered by a United States coast
guard vessel, reported that the name
Valbanera could be made out clearlv
but no trace was found of the 300 pas
sengers ana 150 members of the crew
reported aboard the liner, when she
left Spain for Havana.
The steamer found off the Rebecca
shoal lighthouse, which is 40 miles
from here, the divers said, appeared
to be of about 6000 tons. The missing
Valbanera was of 3291 tons net.
The Valbanera appeared off Moro
Castle. Havana. September 9. but was
unable to put Into port on account of
the storm. Within the last few days
faint wireless calls supposed to be from
the Valbanera have been picked up
here and at Havana. In marine circles
here it was considered probable that
some of the Valbanera's survivors have
sent the calls using improvised ap
paratus taken from the vessel.

j Council's Note Threatening Puni-.li-
mcnt if Berlin Attempts In-
Tasion Is Canceled.
BY WILLIAM COOK.
(Copyright by the New York World. Pub
lished by arrtraemetit.)
PARIS. Sept. 19. (Special cable.)
Although D'Annunzto's move on Flume
is causing the supreme council but
little trouble, it is feared that this
action will set a precedent and give
Germany an excuse to follow the ex
ample in Silesia. Therefore, Marshal
Foci's advice was sought as to what
should be done if Germany should
take such a fateful step. It was de
cided that. In such a case, stern mili
tary measures should be taken against
Germany.
The entire conference agreed on that
and Germany was to be notified of it
but today a cablegram from President
Wilson was received which vetoed the
decision.
Now, according to some members of
the conference, Germany is practically
free to go into Silesia, assume full
power there and laugh at the allies'
indecision and weakness.
French circles in the conference are
especially displeased at President Wil
son's veto, fearing further trouble.
Virtually the same thing happened in
regard to the German troops in the
Baltic provinces. Marshal Foch ad
vised the conference to let the Poles
clear the Germans out. but that course
was disapproved by certain members
of the supreme council on the ground
that the Poles already have undertaken
heavy fighting without any certainty
of a successful result. It was even
decided to ask the Poles to stop fight
ing the bolshevik!.
CALIFORNIA WETS LOSE

William C. Van Fleet here today.
The fate of $75,000,000 worth of vine
yards in the state rested on the deci

attorney representing the plaintiffs.
"I find that the tentative Impres

Robert Hicks Tells How
He Slew Daughter. -
REMORSE FAILS TO BOTHER
Work Keeps Him Too Busy to
Think of Crime, He Says.
"JUST DEAD," EXPLANATION
Man Arrested at Chehalis, Wash..
Calmly Tells Sheritr How He
Strangled Girl Ixn Ago.
KANSAS CITT. Mo.. Sept. 19. (Spe
cial.) For 23 years Robert Hicks car
ried a secret in his breast, the secret
that with his own hands and a short
piece of heavy twine he strangled to
death his daughter, Luellen. 19 years
old, and never once, in all that 13 years,
did the ghost of his murdered daughter
return to haunt him. to follow him, to
keep him awake.
It was on a lonesome part of the
Hicks farm in Hickory county. Mis
souri, the afternoon of December 7,
1896, that the daughter, in a fit of rage,
threatened to shoot him. He had told
her mother the young woman had spent
an afternoon buggy riding with the
hotelkeeper of Urbana, and the mother
chastised the daughter as a result.
Hicks, old and feeble, his body
wasted by age. his shoulders bent by
toil, recounted his story today as he
sat in a car on the Frisco train with
J. P. McCaslin. sheriff of Hickory coun
ty, who Is taking Hicks from Chehalis,
Wash., to Hickory county for trial.
Hicks is 7S years old.
Olrl Selae by Throat.
"I was afraid she would do as she
threatened. he said, speaking calmly
in a low voice. "I was mad. 1 seised
her by the throat with my fingers and
squeezed. She didn't call out. She
didn't fight. Her eyes rolled up and
looked at me Just like the eyes of a
dog when you lick him. Then I took
a piece of heavy grass twine from my
pocket I had been using it to tie pun
nysacks wrapped it about her throat,
pulled it tight and she dropped on the
ground, dead. I left her there."
A brother, going to look at traps,
found the body of his sister where
Hicks had left it. The authorities were
notified, of course, the girl was buried
in the little cemetery adjacent to ths
chapel, the neighbors talked, but soon
it all was forgotten.
Hicks was suspected, but never ar
rested. He sold his place and moved
to Washington to farm, leaving ths
grave of his daughter and an infant
son in Hickory county. A son-in-law
was living in another city and he de
sired the old folks with him.
Censrienre Never Bothered Hint.
"Did your conscience ever bother
you? Did you ever see the face of
your daughter in your dreams? Did
you never awake during the night and
live over the scene when your fingers
were sinking into the soft flesh of your
daughter's neck?" Hicks was asked.
"Me? No," he replied- "I ain't never
seen her since the day of the funeral
She was just dead, that's all. You see.
I ain't never had no book learning and
things like that never bothered me. I
was bound out when my folks died and
I was 2 a years old and had to work
all the time. That was down in Taney
county, on the White river, and I didn't
never have no chance. So things like
that didn't bother me."
"But didn't you ver desire to tell
anyone that you murdered your own
daughter?" he was asked.
"No, I never wanted to tell arry
body," he said, speaking In tire same
low voice. "I didn't miss her no mwe'n
if she'd just died. Of course, her ma
missed her some for a while, but she
didn't know 1 did it and I never felt
called on to tell her.
Severn Children Rialard.
"I raised seven other children, fowr
boys and the rest girls, and that kep'
ma pretty busy working on the farm
all the time and my health bing rust
so good. That didn't bother me neJrrly
so much as my other troubles. You
see. $ sold my property and give tlTs
money to my son-in-law and he prom
ised to keep me and ma the rest of o.r
lives. It was done in writing and then
he wanted to get rid of me. That's
what bothered me.
"Neither me nor ma ain't got long to
live, you know, so I fixed up the prop
erty so we could die in peace and then
got beat out of it. My son-in-law sjld
I owed some money in Missouri and
wrote the banker at Urban and huA
the police, come after me, just o get
rid of me. But me. I don't owe no
body. He just wanted to get rid of
me after he got the $1100."
"How did you happen to confass It
this late in life, when you knew you
probably would die and no one could
find It out?" he was asked.
"They can't do much to me now," ha
said. "I'm likely to die any time. I
jutit thought, as they was taking me
back to Missouri. I'd tell 'em about U
Nothin' told me to. I Just thought I
might as well give 'em a real rewooa
to take me back."
