EXPLANATION IS SCOUTED Message to Hamaker of Oregon Is Regarded as Putting Weagon in Hands of Enemies. OREGOMAS NEWS BUREAU, Washington. May 10. Disavowal by Secretary Tumulty today of any in tention by President Wilson to inter fere in the tDregon democratic sen atorial campaign in behalf of the enemies of Senator Chamberlain failed to assuage in any 'degree the anger and perturbation of a large number of democratic leaders. Even if Secretary Tumulty's asser tions were in good faith, it was main tained that there could be no satisfac tory explanation of the hasty action of the president, the titular leader of the democratic party, in sending such a telegram without knowing some thing of the person to whom it was ent or the purposes for which the reply was desired. In the backs of their heads democratic leaders and particularly those democrats in the senate who, like Chamberlain, voted for the ratification of the peace treaty with the Lodge reservations, were not accepting Secretary Tumul ty's statements. President's Act Resented. Mr. Tumulty said that the .mooted telegram which was dispatched last night to Gilbert E. Hamaker of Port land, Or., leader of the anti-Chamberlain forces in that state, declaring that the democratic party "should at once proclaim itself the uncompromis ing champion of the nation's honor," was sent without knowledge of Mr. Hamaker's active connections with a campaign to defeat Senator Chamber lain for renomination. In apparently condemning Senator Chamberlain for having voted for treaty ratification with the Lodge reservations, the president evoked the deep resentment of the other democratic senators who voted with Chamberlain, and they did not conceal their feeling, though de clining to be quoted. The Tumulty explanation was that the president was merely outlining a general policy on the peace treaty for his party, which caused the retort from democratic senators that such i an important policy as this should certainly have been announced under more carefully ordered circumstances. Tumulty Explanation Doubted. If this were true, why did he not give out his announcement through Senator Underwood, the Democratic leader in the senate, or through the secretary of state or Chairman Cum ming3 of the democratic national committee, that is what democrats are anxious to have explained. To use the language of one of the senators who was always a thick and thin administration senator until he voted for peace treaty ratification with the Lodge reservations after all other efforts to compromise had failed, the comment which rebounded to the Tumulty explanation was: "Does the president make a practice of an swering the inquiries of obscure per sons on great public questions with out inquiring the identity or motives of his correspondents? If so the demo cratic party will wake up some fine morning to find itself in a pretty mess." While eastern newspapers did not wake last night to the fact that the White House- telegram had its great est interest as it related to the demo cratic senatorial campaign in Ore gon and several other states, the democratic senators atiectea recog nized the significance of the presi dent's utterance the moment their eyes alighted on the first page of their morning papers. They came to the capitol confident that the White House outburst was aimed at Senator Chamberlain and one toy - one they flocked to the Oregon senator's side -when the senate con vened at noon. Some Are "Hopping Mad." Before the chaplain had had time to utter the prayer the most of them had informed themselves of the Ore gon political situation and had become assured that their original surmises were correct. Vice-President Mar shall and Franklin K. Lane, cx-secre tary of the interior, were described as being "hopping mad" over the presi dent's telegram. Senator Chamber lain was the least talkative of all the senators affected, although the hard est hit of the number. A council of war was called for tonight . at the home of Senator Phelan of .California, where several leading democrats in dinner coats discussed seriously the j president's pronuncia: k supposed that any c '"w' tion ever will be ma jr publication and it is f it would be printable president s pronunciamento. It is not of the conversa- made available for doubted if all o itable even if released for that purpose. It is readily seen upon an analyst of the telegrams exchanged by the i.l.nt '. .1 AT I- H 'I in-. 1.... . . I W"""-"' ... uir.

Hoare, missionary of the Protestant Episcopal church and known in this city, was shot end killed at his isolated mission at Point Hope, on the barren Arctic ocean 175 miles north of Nome,' by Janres Ma guire. aged 18, on the evening of April 27, according to radio advices7, received Monday by W. T. Lopp, chief of the United States bureau of edu cation, Alaska division, with local headquarters. The missionary was returning from a 400-mile Journey by sled made to Point Barrow, the northernmost point of Alaska. Yeung Maguire is the son of James Maguire Sr., superintendent of the northwest district of the bureau of education at Kotzebue, Kotzebue sound, north of Nome. Meagre radio advices flashed here from Noorvik, the northernmost wireless station in Alaska, give but few details of the grim tragedy at the Eskimo mission. The youth is thought to have been demented by long isolation on the Arctic coast. James Maguire, father of the boy, arrived at the Point Hope mission two hours after his son shot Rev. Mr. Hoare and himself placed his own son under arrest and is now escort ing the youth by dog team 150 miles to Candle, where a federal deputy marshal maintains an office. Mrs. Maguire and another child are nJw residing in Los Angeles and Rev.

Killing Revealed After Life Term Is Given. THREE MORE ACCOUNTED FOR Eleanor Fraser Pushed Over Falls in Spokane River. TWO DIE IN IDAHO LAKE Slayer, Who Says His Xame Is Holden, Adds to LJst of Women , Married and . Killed. LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 10. A total of nine murders of his "wives' hadv been confessed tonight by the man who today, under the name of James P. Watson, was sentenced to serve a life term in San Quentin peni tentiary for the slaying of Nina Lee Deloney. In making that statement Thomas Lee Woolwine, district attorney, ex pressed the opinion the prisoner had laid bare all of the murders he was alleged to have committed. No additional information was ob tainable on bigamous marriages charged to the confessed murderer, but officials declared the number was in excess of 20. Three of the alleged wife murders became known Xoday. They were the slaying of Mrs. W. A. Watt, Winnipeg, Canada; Marie Austin and Eleanor Fraser, both of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The first two were drowned in Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and the latter in the Spokane river, Washing ton, it was said. , Real Name Is If olden. In addition the man asserted his true name was Dan Holden and that he had been born and reared in Ar kansas and was of -a "respectable" family. . The ninth alleged murder was that of Eleanor Fraser, who, according to the district attorney, Holden admitted he bad drowned in the Spokane river, above the falls, near the city of Spo kane. Holden had intimated before his sentence that nothing more of his his tory or alleged crimes would be ob tained from him until he was assured he would get a life sentence and not sent to the gallows. Holden was quoted by the district attorney as saying he had married the Fraser woman in Seattle a year ago and "had pushed her into the river and thought she had been carried over the falls and crushed on the rocks below." This cleared up the mystery sur rounding the fate of the woman known previously to officers only as "Eleanor." They had obtained some information concerning her from- pa pers in his possession. Holden declined to state in just what part of Arkansas he had been born and reared, and would say only that he was a member of "a respect able family." Watson, who earlier confessed the murder of eight women, was sen tenced today to life imprisonment at San Quentin prison by Judge Willis of the Los Angeles county superior court. The sentence followed Wat son's plea of guilty to the murder of Nina Lee Deloney, entered last week. Sentence was pronounced at 11:25 o'clock. Watson applied for a stay of (Concluded on Page 2, Column 1.) Legion of Honor Awarded to Com mander of "Oregon's Own" 162d Regiment Overseas. To Coionel John L. May, commander of "Oregon's own" 162d regiment overseas, has been awarded the cross of the legion of honor of France, one of the highest decorations of . the French republic The cross was re ceived by Colonel May yesterday, hav ing been forwarded to him by William S. Biddle, adjutant-general of the United States army. Colonel May was in command of the old Third Oregon regiment and took the aggregation to France.

The order of the black star, the military division of the legion of honor, was founded by Napoleon. A large share of the' honor of the decoration is given by Colonel May to the Oregon troops, whose general deportment and military behavior, he declared, was such as to merit the highest praise. The statement accompanying the French cross reads as follows: "The grand chancellor of the na tional order of the Legion of Honor certifies that by decree of September 24, 1919, the president of the French republic has conferred upon Colonel John L.

WRECK IS LAID TO ENGINEER Conductor Says Pilot Replied to Siding Signal. STOP IS MADE AT BERTHA Injured Trainman Tells of Trying to Rush Ahead to Give Warning When Smash-Up Occurred. Another fatality was added to the list of victims of the Southern Pacific electric train wreck Sunday morning near Bertha station when Miss Ca mllle A. Dosch, society editor of The Oregonian, died at 1:45 this morning at Good Samaritan hospital from in juries sustained in the head-on col lision. The death of Miss Dosch brought the number of fatalities to nine. Although Miss Dosch showed signs of improvement yesterday morning, she suffered a decided change for the worse during the afternoon and by 6 o'clock her condition had be come alarming. At that time attend ing physicians held out only slight hope for her recovery. Death was due primarily to the nervous shock caused by the serious nature of her injuries. She sus tamed a compound fracture of the right leg-, a fracture of the left leg, a fractured collarbone, injuries to the chest and other deep cuts and bruises about the head and body. Wreck Laid to Motorman. A momentary lapse of memory on the part of Silas K. Willett. motor- man of Southern Pacific train No. 124, is believed by Southern Pacific officials to have been the cause for the fatal head-on collision. In his investigation of the trag edy yesterday. A.- T. Mercier, super intendent of the Southern Pacific learned that, contrary to earlier re ports, train No. 124 had stopped at Bertha station to take on passengers and just as the train was pulling out of the station Austin Pharis. con ductor, signaled his motorman to take the siding just east of the station. Willett Answers Slgaal. Willett, the investigation developed, answered this signal with the ac knowledging two blasts of his whistle, but instead of slowing down to take the siding his train speeded on toward the death curve. "Just as we were leaving Bertha I gave Willett the signal to stop at the siding to meet No. 107," Con ductor Pharis asserted in a state ment yesterdav to Superintenden Mercier and Fred A. Rasch, examine of the public service commission. "Willett acknowledged the signal. Cut failed to stop at the siding. Knowing instantly that something must be wrong, I rushed forward but before I could reach . the fron vestibule the crash came." Emergency Brake Not Used.

Republi can members of the house ways and means committee agreed today to bring in a substitute bill for the soldier bonus bill with the proposal for a one per cent tax on sales eliminated as a means of raising necessary funds. Other tax provi sions would be extended over three years. Under the new bill compensation for home service is reduced from $1.25 to $1 for each day of service, while payments for foreign service remain at $1.25 . day. Fayments would be made for service from April 1917. to July 1, 1919. under the new bill instead of from April b, 1917, to January 1, 1920, as under the pending measure. Payments of the cash bonus would begin April 1, 1921, and be continued n 12 quarterly installments. The four options for the cash bonus, home or farm aid, paid up insurance and tuition for education, would have a 40 per cent increase in value over the cash bonus under the substitute measure, instead of being determined on a basis of $1.75 a day for each day of service. The plan of reclama tion of land to provide farms was changed in the substitute bill to eliminate the $1000 loan and also to reduce authorization for carrying out the scheme from $300,000,000 to $250, 000,000. Republicans estimated approxi mately $400,000,000 in the cost of the original measure had been eliminated and that the remodeled bill would call for an expenditure of $400,000, 000. Taxes levied by the bill would be come effective next December and would include the increase on in comes, tobacco and real estate sales and a new levy on stock and grain exchange transactions.

ENTIRE COAST AFFECTED Tractors Idle on Farms Near The Dalles Astoria Fishing; Firms . Appeal for Aid. GASOLIXG PRICES BOOSTED BY STANDARD OFL NEW YORK, May 10. Motor ists today became latest victims of advancing prices. The Standard Oil company of New York announced that the price of gasoline to garages would be raised to 30 cents a gallon, an increase of 1 cents, while independents were re ported to bo quoting "gas" as high as 32 cents. This, it was said, would mean that the re tail price would be at least 34 cent? Today's advance brings advances since January 1 to 22 per cent. But price advances for oil products were not confined solely to gasoline. Prices on virtually all oil products con tinued to rise, based on an ex tension of the long-sustained demand. An authority in the oil trade was quoted, in effect, as declar ing that the domestic supply of oil is far below demand and that the requirements of motor cars and trucks in parts of the United States calls for about S5 per cent of the present pro duction. The gasoline supply to passenger automobiles will be cut off completely within a few days by the Standard Oil company unless the present gasoline shortage is relieved. This drastia measure will be necessary to prevent the complete disruption of industries, farming, fishing and road building ia Oregon, according to J. E. Balsley. sales manager of the company.. State Treasurer Hoff spent the day in Portland yesterday with W. A. Dalziel, deputy state scaler of weights and measures, endeavoring to arrange for the suspension of the specific gravity test law temporarily, but up to a late hour yesterday had not suc ceeded. State Treasurer Hoff will confer with Attorney-General Brown this morning to learn what steps must be taken to give proper assurance to oil companies operating in Oregon that they will not be prosecuted for sell ing gasoline below the 56-degreo gravity required by tie state law during the emergency. Mrh.firld Physicians Appeal. Urgent appeal for action by the governor to relieve the gasoline shortage was contained in a telegram from the Commercial club of Marsh t'icld. Marshfield has but a six-hour supply of gasoline allocated to physi cians and business concerns, accord ing to the wire. No gasoline i3 avail able there for passenger automobiles. Business men of Bandon wired the governor requesting that they bo al lowed to ship gasoline to Bandon from California. Little gasoline re mains in this city with little pros pect for renewed stock, it was said. The seriousness of the present gaso line shortage was called to tho at tention of Governor Olcott yesterday by telegrams from business men of Astoria and ranch owners of The Dalles, the former telling the gov ernor that unless relief was accorded the gasoline situation the fishing and canning industry now In the midst of the spring pack would be tied up completely, and the latter informing the governor that because of lack of gasoline hundreds of tractors in east tern Oregon were idle. Crippled Industry Looms. ' From other parts of the state came word that supplies of gasoline were fast dwindling and with apparently no relief in sight, farming and other industries will be severely crippled. Oregon is not alone in gasoline shortage, according to Thomas H. Hays, vice-president of the Union Oil company of California, who says that a shortage of 100.000,000 gallons of gasoline now exists on the Pacifio coast. "In Oregon you say that you must have a special gasoline," said Mr. Hayes. "This gasoline that you de mand is not one whit better than the gasoline prepared for use in Wash ington, California and other states. Not only does it cost more to pre pare tho Oregon gasoline, but in ad dition it creates an added burden to the refineries. It would relieve the general situation to some extent if the refineries could concentrate on one general commercial product." That a shortage will exist despite (.Concluded on Page 7, Column 1
