MILLER WARNS, THEH
FIRES FATAL SHOT
Coroner's Jury Holds Him as
Guy Nelson's Slayer.
WOMEN GIVE TESTIMONY
the time of his illness, Mr. Sheffield
was night elevator operator in The
Oregronian building, known to the
tenants of every floor and to the edi
torial and mechanical department
staffs as "Dad" Sheffield always
ready with a cheerful word and a
smile. Genuine regret marked his de
parture, when he was taken ill, as
will the news of his death.
Mr. Sheffield had been in failing
health fqr some years. As a young
man he enlisted in the Fourth cav
alry. Thrown from his mount dur
ing maneuvers he was severely in
jured and never entirely regained his
strength.
One brother and three sisters also
survive him Frank Sheffield, - of
Portland; Mrs. J. P. Howe and Mrs.
Francis Fundwall, of Seattle and Mrs.
Carrie Cook, of Spokane.
Wire of Victim Says She Asked
Slayer lor Water for Husband
and Was Refused.
Evidence that Guy R. Nelson had
been warned that he would be killed
if he persisted in his efforts to break
into the house of James Miller, his
slayer, was furnished at the coroner's
inquest last night by May Daley,
housekeeper for Miller and sister-in-law
of the man who was killed.
Nelson was shot and killed by Mil
ler on the night of November 23. when I
he and Mrs. Nelson went to Miller's
home, 420 First street, to get May
Daley, sister of Mrs. Nelson, and who.
according to her testimony, was being
held in" virtual bondage.-
"We heard Mr. and Mrs. Nelson
come to the back door and knock,"
testified Mrs. Daley. "Miller called
out that somebody would be killed
that night if they attempted to take
me from the house. I then heard Mr.
Nelson come to the front door and
start to break it in. Miller yelled
out that he would shoot anybody that
entered the door. I started for the
hall, but Miller took out his gun and
ordered me Into the bedroom.
"I saw Mr. Nelson break open the
door and strike at Miller Just as he
got inside. Then I saw Miller pull
the gun and heard the shot fired.
The next thing I knew Mrs. Nelson
was holding her husband's head there
in the hallway."
The widow of the slain man testi
fied that she and her husband had
pone to Miller's house for her sister,
after Mrs. Daley had complained of
ill treatment at the han of Miller.
She said she was not present when
her husband broke through the front
door, but when she heard a crash
within the house she rushed from
the rear door to the front of the house.
She said she did not realize her hus
band had been mortally wounded until
Miller looked down at her and said:
"1 shot him."
"I asked Miller to get me some wa
ter for him, but he refused to do it,"
testified the widow.
Motorcycle Patrolman O'Halloran
said that Miller had admitted to him
that he had fired the shot that killed
Mr. Nelson. He placed Miller under
arrest after the slayer had told him
where the gun could be found.
The questioning of witnesses for
the state was conducted by Deputy
District Attorney Dempsey. Morris
Goldstein, counsel for Miller, con
ducted a cross-examination of wit
nesses. He announced after the in
quest that Miller would plead self
defense. The Jury brought in an open ver
dict merely to the effect that Nelson
had come to his death from gunshot
wounds at the hands of James Miller
and recommended that the defendant
be held to the grand Jury.
The Jurors summoned by Dr. .Earl
Smith, coroner, to consider the testi
mony at the inquest were ' Jack
Harper. Fred G. Lawton, T. C. Bowen,
Fred V. Fletcher, N. N. Hamane and
Lent Lester.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25. "America's
most vital enterprises, such as rail
roads and traction companies, are
starving in the midst of financial
plenty," because of an "orgy of specu
lation" which has disturbed not only
bankers, but the federal reserve
board, ..according: to A. C. Bedford,
chairman of the international trade
conference held last month in At

Tenable to speak because of a cold, :

of the United States on the eve of
the departure for home of foreign
delegates attending the Atlantic City

I do not want you to think I am
an alarmist," said Mr. Bedford, "but I
say as emphatically as I can that we
must get away from our present na
tional extravagance and get back to
the building of solid foundations.
Let us listen, for a change, to the
dictates of our common sense. We
did not wash our hands of the Euro
pean situation on November 11, 1918.
We are not Quitters as individuals and
we won't quit as a nation. We must

MUSICAL CLUB IS HOST
Musicians Meet Miss Carolyn Al-
chin or Los Angeles.
The Monday Musical club was host
at its clubhouse, 148 Thirteenth
street, last night and held a recep
tion to enable Portland musicians
and other friends to meet Miss Carolyn
Alchm of Js Angeles, Cal.. who is
to lecture Friday afternoon at the
annual meeting of the Oregon Music
Teachers' association to be held in the
auditorium of the Multnomah hotel.
Mis3 Alchin was Introduced by Mrs.
Anton Giebisch, preaident of the Mon
day Musical club, and proved herself
to be a woman with a finely culti
vated mind and interesting powers of
conversation. An excellent vocal and
instrumental . music programme was
rendered by musicians of this city,
among: them belnff Paul and Lillian
Jeffrey Petri, Lucien K. Becker, Miss
Margaret Lambton, Walter Jenkins
and others.
Miss Alchin is' affiliated with the
University of Southern California and
has received leave of absence from
that institution for one year to en
able her to lecture on musical sub
jects, particularly on harmony, of
which musical science she is quite
authority. Her class books on har
mony are included in books used in
many American colleges and high
schools.
NEW YORK, Nov. 25. Sweating the
machine, not the man, is tlte economic
principle on which Lord Leverbulme,
the great British manufacturer, justi
fies the six-hour day for workman
and the 12-hour day for machinery.
This schedule, his firm has determined
to introduce in their factories in Great
Britain, the United States, Canada and
elswhere, hoping thereby to profit
their workmen as well as themselves.
Lord Leverhulme, who arrived to
day on the Mauretania on one of his
periodic visits to the United States,
came, he said, to conduct a little mis
sionary work In favor of the intro
duction in this country of the plan.
He declared it will prove economically
advantageous and profitable In any
industry in which the overhead
charges for plant and equipment equal
or exceed tne wage Dill.
Machinery to Work 12 Hoars.
Describing the main features of the
plan as well as of the long-established
system of "copartnership." or profit
sharing, in his several soap factories.
Lord Leverhulme pointed out that the
scheme for hours must not be con
founded with a flat six-hour day, but
consisted in employing his working
forces, men and women. In two shifts,
each working on a 36-hour week
basis, while the machinery is kept
going the full 12 hours a day.' The
idea, he said, was to get the greatest
possible production out of the ma
chinery, the expensive element in
soap production, while granting the
working forces a shorter day and
greater opportunity for recreation
and self-Improvement.
"We want," he declared, "to wear
out our machinery as rapidly as pos
sible, but to conserve our human ma
terial. It is an economic) benefit if a
machine wears out under extreme pro
duction, an economic disadvantage if
men and women are worn out by long
hours.
Plan Soon la Effect.
"Under the scheme the morning
shifts, in the Leverhulme factories,
would work from 7 to 1, six days a
week, the afternoon shift working
slightly longer hours in order to gain
the time for the customary British
Saturday half holiday."
His hopes of introducing the plan
last summer In his English factories
had been defeated by the attitude of
some labor unions, which feared tne
effects of increased production and by
existing factory laws In England, but
he was confident that the plan would
soon be in effect and would justify
itseir as much as his earlier adventure
Into "copartnership" had done.
Under this latter scheme, which has
been in effect since 1909, every em
ploye 21 years old or over who has
been in the employ of the firm for
year is eligible to become a co-partner
in the firm, his interest being repre
sented by special shares of stock, In
proportion to the amount of his
wages, on which, regular dividends
slightly less than the ordinary share
representing invested capital are paid.
To encourage efficiency, employes
are divided into four classes, accord-
fng to the interest they display in
tnetr work and receive varying
amounts of stock. Payments to work
men-partners under this plan last
year amounted to 206.000, or approxi
mately $1,000,000, Lord Leverhulme
said.
yesterday at Good Samaritan hospital I
after a long period of illness. He
had been in failing health the past six
months and was brought to this city
about eight days ago for special
treatment. He was 83 years old.
When he was but 14 years old Mr.
Cooper crossed the plains from Ken
tucky with his family and settled, in
CooVer hollow In Polk county, the
pla.ee being named for these pioneers.
He was married 56 years ago to La

Patriotic Citizens. Urged
come Jury Duty Complaints
Filed Against Nine Suspects.
SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 25. Co-op
erative effort on the. part of county
uthorities to rid the state of radicals
and anarchistic elements was decided
pon by prosecuting- attorneys of
Washington who met here yesterday
nd today, according: to a forma
statement made public today by Attor
ney-General L. L. Thompson, who
called the conference.
State laws are sufficient to prevent
repetitions of the Centralia armistice
ay shootings, Mr. Thompson said, and
declared if county authorities get the
upport of their communities the new
plan of state-wide criminal prosecu
tion of those who advocate unlawful
hange in the government will be suc
cessful. Immediate prosecution of
pending cases will be pushed as a re
suit of the conference, he said.
The prosecutors direct an appeal to
all fraternal and civic organizations
to assist them in ridding the state of
its red element by gathering evidence
nd by welcoming rather than avoid
ing jury duty in the cases.
The adoption of the communication
and appeal to the citisens of the state
came as the closing feature of the
conference, following Its consideration
by the attorneys assembled and an
ddress by Clarence L. Reames, for.-
er assistant United States attorney-
eneral.
The communication sets forth that
this state has a considerable number
men who neither sympathize with
or comprehend American ideals and
American institutions and who have
anded together in organizations, the
most evil and notorious of which is
the L W. W.
There has heretofore been much un
favorable public comment on the fail
ure of Juries to convict in cases where
the evidence has clearly shown viola
tions of law. It is the belief of the
rosecutors -that this failure is attrib
table in a large extent to the fact
that many otherwise patriotic citizens
ave avoided jury duty whenever pos-
ible.
In- order that this condition may be
avoided in the future, it is urged that
11 patriotic citizens welcome Jury
duty in these cases, and that the only
excuse for failure to serve when
called upon should be a challenge in
terposed either by the state or the
defendant.
Criminal complaints against nine al
tered members of the Industrial
Workers of the World, arrested here.
were filed here today with R. W. Mc
Clelland. United States commissioner,
bv deDartment of Justice agents, 'tne
en were charged with violation oi
the espionage act.
The men were arrested in a series or
raids by Seattle police on radical cen
ters following the armistice day
shootings in Centralia, November 11.
They are accused of having endeav
ored to bring the government oi tne
United States into contempt,

tility; strength, other features.

General Explains Tie Has Xot
Changed Mind on Necessity for
Force of Half Million.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. The opin
ion of the army general staff and the
administration is that a peace-time
army of 500.000 men is the minimum
necessary to care for the national in
terest. General Mar eh, chief of staff,
has declared, correcting an interpre
tation of his annual report, published
Sunday, which placed the minimum at
250,000. General March emphasized
that he never had changed his esti
mate of 500.000 as the pttj allept upon
which to rest the military power of
the United States.
In his report General March recom
mended one field army of five corps
skeletonized to 50 per cent of its
strength. Taking four divisions of
26,000 men to a corps, euch a calcu
lation would show about 526,000 men.
which skeletonized to 40 per cent of
strength, would make 260,000 men.
General March, however, made It
plain that he was basing his estimates
on the army corps as a practical unit
completely organized with all its ele
ments for service. Five corps on that
basis would mean an army in excess
of 1.000,000 men, which skeletonized to
oO per cent of strength would make
the army of 500,000 which the chief

Put aside the Salts, " OW,
Calomel, or Pills and
take Cascarets."
Are you keeping your bowels, liver,
and stomach clean, pure, and fresh
with Cascarets, or merely whipping
them into action every few days with
Salts, Cathartic Pills, Oil or Purgative
Waters?
Stop having a bowel wash-day. Let
Cascarets gently cleanse and regulate
the stomach, remo1 the sour and fer
menting food and foul gases, take the
excess bile from the liver and carry
out of the colon and bowel all the
constipated waste matter and poisons
t so you can straighten up.
Cascarets tonight will make you
feel great by morning. They work
while you sleep never gripe, sicken,
or cause any inconvenience, and cost
so littl too. Adv.
