LLOYD PREVOST IS
HELD US SLAYER
Michigan Auto Murder Case
investigation Closes.
WOMAN TELLS OF WEAPON
Brown's Widow Finds Money Belt.
Crime Attributed to Desire
Xor Estate by Lover.
MOUNT CLEMEN'S. Mich.. Jan. 6.
(Ppeciai.) Lloyd Prevost -svas offi
cially chanted with the murder of his
chum. J. Stanley Brown, tonight. An
nouncing that he had ordered the
warrant for the 20-year-old youth,
Attorney-General Alex J. Grossbeck
declared that the Investigation into
the mysterious roadside slaying of
December 23 was practically closed.
The warrant as drawn charged mur
der in the first degree.
A woman, whose identity is con
cealed by the authorities, and three
boys, one a neph nr of Prevost, wove
the final link of circumstances about
the suspect, who has been held "as a
witness" in the county Jail for sev
eral days.
While Attorney-General Grossbeck
was conducting the one-man grand
jury proceedings provided by the
state law to insure secrecy in a mur
der Inquiry, the woman came into the
office of " City Prosecutor Bert V.
Nunnelly. who is acting as special
prosecutor in the murder case.
"I know something about Lloyd
Prevost." she said, and then sat down
to tell the story that clinched the
case, in the opinion of the author
ities. Revolver Handed Lloyd.
Tier story was that Stanley Prevost.
17-year-old nephew of Lloyd, had
taken the revolver of his father, Jo
seph Prevost, to the Edison hotel the
night of the murder and handed it
over to Lloyd. The tale had spread
through the students of the Mount
Clemens high school, which Stanley
attended.
Stanley was called" before the se
cret hearing. He attempted to deny
taking the revolver to his uncle. Fur
ther investigation by the chief of po
lice revealed that when Stanley went
to the hotel he was accompanied by
two chums, Joseph Obrecht and Wal
ter Zulke. These two verified the
story of the woman. Both said they
had seen the weapon and said that
Stanley also handed over a number of
cartridges.
The day following, one of the boys
testified. Stanley spoke of the murder
and said, "That makes it look pretty
bad for Lloyd." The officials say none
of the evidence so far obtained con
nects anyone else with the crime, but
the inquiry will continue on the the
ory that others had guilty knowledge
indicating premeditation and con
spiracy. "
Mrs. V ester Released.
Mrs. Cecil Vester. whom Brown
knew and who had been charged with
the slaying, was released tonight. She
left at once for her home in Battle
Creek.
The money belt, a missing link in
the case, which was supposed to con
tain $15,000 in cash and securities,
was found during the day by Mrs.
Kuth Prevost Brown, widow of the
slain man. Accompanied by her law
yer, Mrs. Brown went to the court
house with the belt. She explained
she had found it by accident, hidden
under a heap of soiled clothing in the
house occupied occasionally by Brown
ater he had separated from his wife.
A diligent search by the authorities
and newspaper men had failed to un
cover the belt. This fact caused com
ment. Story Finally Broken.
Prevost's name first entered into
the Inquiry when he told the authori
ties he had been in the Brown auto
the night of the killing. He was
immediately locked up, but as he
steadfastly stuck to his story that he
had left Brown at 9:30 P. M. h was
released because Brown had been seen
alive after that hour.
The next testimony against Pre
vost was given by witnesses who said
they had seen him and Brown drive
away from the Edison hotel, where
both roomed, at 10:30 o'clock the
night of the murder. This broke
down Prevos't's s'tory that he had
left Brown at 9:30.
The motive ascribed by the' au
thorities is an alleged desire to get
hold of Brown's estate. Brown had
made a will naming his wife and girl
child as heirs. Prevost was said to
be in love v-ith his cousin, Mrs.
Brown.
The will has been probated. The
state is valued at $90,000.
STOP LOANS, HOOVER SAYS
(Continued EVom First Pa g.)
to revive prosperity overnight, but to
my mind the one essential thing for
all those countries which cannot pro
vide for themselves out of normal
commerce is to feed their people over
this winter and to defer immediate
rehabilitation of industry until the
world recovers sufficiently for them
to secure commercial credits and pri
viate capital.
Bread Only Necessity.
"In the food matter, the five last
countries mentioned will take care
of their agricultural and small-town
population out of their crops last year.
These countries' and Italy's deficiency
in commercial credits lies in a dozen
larger cities aggregating say 16,000,
000 or 20,000,000 people. Even these
have some resources that to my mind
are sufficient to take care of their
food needs except bread, together with
milk for the children, and most of the
latter is being taken care of by
charity.
"Therefore, the problem from the
point of view of action of our gov
ernment outside the temporary de
ferring of interest, further, reduces
itself to helping out with the bread
supply of less than 6 per cent of the
population of Europe. The latter is
one-tenth only an frho of the job

DEVEREUX PLAYERS ACHIEVE
NEW SUCCESS IN OLD PLAY
Interesting: Interpretations Given in Oliver Goldsmith's Comedy, "She
Stoop to Conquer."
ENGLISH comedies like our Star
Spangled banner needs must be
played with pep. So often when
either is played here in Portland the
necessary verve is conspicuously
prominent by Its total absence. Lately
we haven't had very much of either,
so it becomes possible to draw them
into comparison. Which is by way of
leading to the observation that the
Devereux players have gone far "out
side the beaten trail established for
players of old classics and. do not ex
hibit the habit, or possibly careless
ness, that Inspires groups of similar
players to act in thunderous, ponder
ous and measured tempo.
Their performance last night of Oli
ver Goldsmith's comedy. "She Stoops
to Conquer," was an achievement of
high artistic merit and significance.
Those who are fond of old English
comedies found new meanings, new
impressions, in the interpretation
given by the Devereux players.
The merits of Goldsmith's writing
are surface close and a sympathetic
reader or listener discerns them read
ily. The development of "She Stoops
to Conquer" is steady and transparent
constantly, and denoted in the clear
ness of perception and expression for
which Goldsmith is known.
"She Stoops to Conquer" was Gold
smith's second play, and was pro
duced in 1773. after having lain in
unpublished form in its author's pos
session until dire necessity forced him
to allow his patron. Dr. Johnson, to
promote its production, a proceeding
Goldsmith regarded, doubtfully. Haw
ever, the play won an unqualified suc
cess and has continued .through the
years to be one of the most popular
of the English comedies. The lines of
the play even today are richly ex
pressive and of vigorous humor.
Mr. Devereux' players individually
that our government had to under
take in the .year ending August 1 last
in saving Europe from famine. There
fore no such situation exists as that
which confronted us last year, at this
time and there Is no ground for hys
teria on either side of the Atlantic
6hort Credits Proposed.
"This year the government has a
lcrge surplus of wheat flour acquired
by it under the wheat guarantee. In
the ordinary course we should bold
It for spot cash from foreign nations.
We could, solve the bread situation
in these dozen cities in Europe if the
grain corporation were to sell About
15 per cent of our surplus flour on
short credits to meet these acute situ
ations. The difference between these
short credits and cash is the differ
ence between starvation and exist
ence to them.
"These plans require no new ap
propriations on our treasury and no
additional taxes on our people. But
it does require an understanding in
Europe that this country is nearlng
the time when it must cease to carry
the economic burden of Europe ex-
cent through charity and ordinary-
business processes set up under
proper security. The American people
are now finding 45,000,000 a month
in 'charity for feeding 3,000,000 chil
dren and fighting disease. If we add
bread supply on government credit
to these starving cities with this and
business credits we will be doing our
share of world responsibility.
Xentraln Should Help.
"It would appear that the 70,000,000
people of prosperous nations who have
not suffered in the war should also
be the scene of European appeals.
Many people of Europe are not at
work. For instance, their coal pro
duction is less than 70 per cent, and
their demoralization is in a grat de
gree due to this alone. Only they
can remedy it.
"If we do undertake the solution of
the bread question by our govern
ment, our action will benefit and pro
tect the other nations of Europe
from infection of anarchy and chaos.
Poland is the sole shield of Europe
from bolshevik invasion. If we ex
tend this help. It should be upon con
sideration that the stronger nations
in Europe will do their full part in
many directions.
"While a restoration of last year's
complete control of supplies in Eu
rope would make things go smoother,
it stifles the initiative to help them
selves and does more damage than
good. We withdrew from Europe at
last harvest precisely for the reason
that Europe had to be impressed with
the necessity to get back to work
and ordinary business processes. The
world needs to get away from the
notion of government help both in
ternally and externally and get back
to work and business "
SHIPS TO BE BLOWN UP
Scapa Flow to Be Cleared of Sunk-
'. en German Warships.
LONDON, Jan. 6. German warships
sunk by their masters in Scapa Flow
will be blown up shortly, it was said
here today. The decision to dispose
of the vessels in this way followed
the completion of investigation by a
special commission representing all
of the allies.
The decision, announced in the fore
going dispatch, to blow up the Ger
man ships sunk in Scapa Flow ap
parently disposes of a question which
has caused a great deal of discussion
in all of the allied countries. The
almost insuperable task of raising the
vessels and the possibility that the
salvaged materials would not be of
great value were believed to have
weighed heavily In favor of destroy
ing the vessels by explosives.
BRYAN PRESAGES CLASH
(Continued Prom First Page.)
crats hope to escape responsibility if
they prevent a compromise? It Js
mockery to talk about a league of
nations if we favor only such a
league as is satisfactory to a minor
ity of the senate. We can't go before
the people on such an issue. The
senate is a constitutional body, and
the right of a majority to rule ap
plies there as elsewhere. The people
can change the senate if they do not
approve of its course, but a minority
of the senate cannot disregard the
will of the majority."

give smooth readings of the lines ad
a certain poetic presence is mani
fested, and their lights and shadings
in speaking are most effective.
Mr. Devereux played the role ot
Charles Marlow and gave an impres
sive rendering, interesting through
out and thoroughly competent. Zini
ta Graf, whose voice Js much like
Julia Marlowe's, gave a highly mod
ern rendition of the coquettish role
of Kate Hardcastle. Half of Miss
Graf's charm Is her picturesque col
oring and grace of body.
From . the outset Ralph Bradley
scored as Tony Lumpkin, giving a
really noteworthy rendition of the
comedy role, conspicuously marked
by delightful pantomime. Another
player whose work was reviewed with
marked enthusiasm, was Agnes El
liott Scott as Mrs. Hardcastle.
The Devereux players do not use
a lot of scenery, depending rather on
the dignity and force of the lines. in
the play and a simple background.
They are here for one week. Their
offering this afternoon is a double
bill, including Rostand's "Romances"
and "The Proposal" by Tchekoff.

SALEM. Or.. Jan. 6. (Special.)
Members of the Oregon County School
Superintendents' association, at their
closing session here today, elected
Lena Snell Shurte of Morrow county
as president of the organization for
the ensuing year. J. W. Allen of Co
lumbia county was elected vice-president

Baker county, secretary.
The superintendents went on rec

two-mill millage tax based on all as
sessable property in the state. In
connection with the latter tax It was
recommended that all the money de

use in the counties in which it is
raised. Both of these measures, it is
said, will be placed before the legis

November.
Anotber bill providing for a mini

trsnsmitted today by the department
of labor to congress for new appro
priations aggregating $1,150,000 to be
used in the enforcement of laws
against radicals and for their depor
tation. While members of congress were
giving the request preliminary con
sideration, from the temporary head
quarters here of the Russian soviet
bureau, located less than three blocks
from the department of justice build
ing, there was issued a written state
ment by S. Nuorteva, who said he
was secretary to L. C. A. K. Martens,
self-styled Russian ambassador, set
ting forth general charges against
department of justice agents. These
charges were that department agents
had "actively participated"- in the for
mulation of some of the planks in the
communist and communist labor party
platform, which, the statement said,
"now form the basis "of persecution."
Other charges were that the chief
figures in celebrated bomb plots were
agents of a similar nature.
Department of justice officials, ad

for Martens, carefully read the Nuor
teva statement and. although refusing
to discuss- it officially, said privately

RED ACCUSES V. S. OFFICIALS
Federal Agents Charged With As
sisting Communis.
WASHINGTON'. Jan. 6. A written
statement issued to the press by S.
Nuortva, who said he was secretary
to L.udwig C. A. K. Martens, self
styled Russian ambassador, charged
that agents of the department of jus
tice had "actively participated" in the
formulation of communist party pia-t-
fonn .ilanks. "which now form the
basis of the persecution of thousands
of pef pie."
The statement also asserted that
"we can prove that the chief figures
in mu;h celebrated bomb plots were
agents of a similar nature." and that
some other radical activities now said
to have been Instituted by Russians
"were In reality managed and in
spired by secret service agents."
"The Russian government soviet
bureau," it added, "would welcome
an opportunity to make good these
assertions before the proposed senate
investigating committee."
"The hearing conducted by the pro
posed senate committee," the state
ment further asserted, "would also
have opened wide If we were per
mitted to testify the Augean stables
of the work of the Russian reaction
aries in this country. who have
squandered on abominable plots and
intrigues tens of millions of money
lent by the American government to
Russia." The additional charge was
made that there seemed to be many
people besides Boris Rakhmeteff. for
mer representative of the Kerensky
government in Washington, and his
crowd who would not like to have
these matters discussed."
The bureau has been informed of
the irrest of Gregory Weinstein of
its membership, on deportation pro
ceedings, and that similar action "is
threatened against Mr. Martens and
other members of the staff." the
statement said. It added that "neither
Mr. Martens nor I is opposed to go
ing bark to Russia."
Nuortva said Martens was in Wash
ington nnd that no attempt to arrest
his chief had been made.
