14 THE MOILMAG OUEGOXIAX, SATDKDAY. MAY 15, 1920 CI ICQ nCTIIQNCn I LI LI I IILIUIIliLU, FACES THEFT CHARGE Absconding With Student Fund at Hood River Denied. HEARING TO BE TODAY Ex-Physical Instructor Declares That lie Did Own Plane but Mortgage Was Foreclosed. HOOD RIVER, Or.. May 14. (Spe cial.) H. Clay Crawford, returned by Sheriff Johnson and Deputy Olin gcr today from Minneapolis, where he was arrested on a local charge of larceny by bailee, probably will be arraignetl tomorrow before Justice of the Peace Onthank. Crawford, who was physical di rector at the Hood River high school for six weeks the first of the year, aroused suspicion in late February when he left for Spokane, as was supposed, to pilot an aeroplane back to Hood River for use in passenger service. He failed to return. He had borrowed $500 through the in :orscment of W. M. Bailey, principal of the high school, and charges were made that he had absconded with sums aggregating $1500 taken from Mudents for purchase of band instru ments. Airplane Held Reality. Crawford has created a change of eiitiment favorable to himself in the minds of officials who returned him as well as with those with whom he has talked since his return. While he admits the receipt of $300 from a single high school student, Buford Class, who lias since removed to Alaska, he denies that any other funds were secured, and, so far as authorities can learn, his story is true. He asserts he actually owned an airplane, which, however, was mort gaged to a mechanic who was his iormer partner in aviation ventures. Suicide In Attempted. According to his story, the me chanic was to have shipped the plane to Portland, but apparently made a mistake and announced that it had been shipped to Spokane. On failing to find the machine at Spokane Crawford says, he immediately set out tor Chicago, where he learned that his former partner had foreclosed his mortgage and had gone to Garden City, N. J., to seek work in." an air plane factory. He says he located his man finally, expecting to secure some settlement from him. Crawford declares, however, that the mechanic declined to pay any balance left after the satisfaction of the mortgage be cause of claims resulting from a former airplane wreck. "I came back to Chicago and tried by various means to secure a plane to bring back to Hood River," says Crawford, "and failing, finally re turned to find my wife, who had gone to Crookston, Minn., to be with her mother, in possession of one of the circulars, which carried the state ment that 1 had absconded with $1500 of student funds. She denounced me and in, my fit of despondency over this I tried to kill myself." ISO PLUMBERS CONVENE ANNUAL GATHERING NOW SESSION AT SALEM.

Associated Industries' Open Shop Programme Said lo Be Rock Causing Wreck. SEATTLE. Wash., May 14. (Spe cial.) Efforts of Mayor Caldwell to end strife between the master build ers and the building trades unions have failed and Seattle faces the pros pect of a general building trades strike on June 1. Announcement that his peace plans had come to naught was made by the mayor at noon today, following a final conference with the group of international building trades union of ficers who nearly two weeks ago asked him to tender his good offices as a peacemaker. The declaration that a general strike of the building trades union would be the result of the failure of the peace negotiations was made by the international union men after Mayor Caldwell had made his announcement. At least 6000 build ing tradesmen they said would walk out unless the employers changed their present attitude. June 1, they said, was under consideration as the strike date. Mayor Caldwell said that the asso ciated industries and its open shop programme was the rock upon which the peace negotiations had been wrecked. .RECEIVER GETS AWARD Verdict Given in Retrial of Bank Case at Vancouver.

Old Clothes Order or Day and President Anderson "Ducked"' for Violating Rule. UX1VKRSITT OF OREGON", Eugene. May 14. (Special.) All the men in the university, gaioed in old clothes, spent the morning in cleaning the campus from the trenches to the mill race, following the annual custom for Ffiday morningof junior week-end. The 500 guests of the campus, high school students from all parts of the state, were given a ta.ste of senior discipline, for wherever they went they saw seniors ruling with an iron hand. With sombreros, and dressed in their oldest rigs, the seniors super intended the work of the underclass men, who toiled filling in the trenches, fixing the track and base ball fields, preparing the milirace for the aquatic meet, .and painting the "O" on Skinner's Butte. The seniors also took delight in administering punishment to any who appeared on the campus in white collars or were insubordinate or late to their tasks. They showed no dis crimination and even ducked in the senior fountain those of their own number who reported late. The pres ident of the student body, Stanford Anderson of Portland, was ducked for appearing in a white collar, just to show the guests "how it is done." The Women's league prepared and served luncheon for 2000 persons in the outdoor men's gymnasium. Miss Louise Davis of Portland, president of the Women's league, appointed to handle this part of the work Miss Madeline Slotboom of Portland. countTWotaTsTackinc CHECK ON SALVATION ARMY DRIVE TO START TODAY. Campaign for Funds in Portland Expected to Be Completed by Next Monday Night. Campaign leaders in the Salvation Army home service drive for $284,000 in Oregon were busy late last night making a complete check on'the total subscriptions received from all parts of the state in order definitely to de termine whether or not the desired goal has been attained in the state outside of Portland. From telegrams and long-distance telephone calls received at state head quarters yesterday it was indicated that nearly every county, with the exception of Multnomah, expected to complete its quota by last night or tonight, and the drive will come to an official close in the outside counties tonight. In Portland it was announced that the campaign will be continued dur ing the coming week until Wednes day. Division captains will submit complete reports Bome time today. John L. Etheridge, state campaign president, believes the results will show to better advantage than is now expected. He said the drive can be put over in Portland by Monday night if the present force of workers, aug mented by volunteers, will make a thorough canvass of every part of the city. TAX ON EACH ARTICLE New Ruling Made Regarding Stamps Required on Packages. Under a recent ruling by the treas ury department received at Collector Miller's office yesterday, the tax on toilet preparations and patent and proprietary medicines is based upon the selling price of each article and r.ot upon the total price of a number of articles. If a person buys five packages of 5 cent cough drops, a 1 cent stamp must be attached to each package. If a person purchases tube of tooth paste for 35 cents and a bottle of perfume for 65 cents, a 2 cent stamp must be placed on the tooth paste and 3 cents on the per fume a total of 5 cents. In other words, the tax is on each article and not on the combined purchase price. This revokes a ruling previously made by the department. 59 ARE IN ATTENDANCE Swedish Missionary Conference in Annual Session.

SHELLS FOUND ON SCENE Witness Declared Heard Two Shots. Man's Voice and Girl's Cry on Evening of Crime. MARSH FIELD, Or.. May 14. (Spe cial.) For the third time in the last eight months Harold Howell sat in the circuit court room at Coquille and heard lawyers plead to a jury as to his fate, on the one hand asking that he be confined in the penitentiary for the rest of his life for the murder of Ionian Leuthold and on the other that he be set free and acquitted of the charge of murder. He listened to all of the arguments attentively. District Attorney John F. Hall and Dexter Rice of Roseburg made the closing arguments lor the prosecu tion. They asserted that evidence showed that the bullet which killed the girl was peculiarly marked and must have been shot from Howell's gun which he had with him at the time the murder took place. They went over evidence which they said supported this theory. Motive For Act .ot Shown. The prosecution at all three trials, however, has failed to show any mo tive for the murder, if committed by Howell, and this fact was called to the attention of the jury by John D. Goss and C. F. McKnight, who argued for the defense. They asserted that the evidence showed Howell could not have been at the spot where the girl was killed at the time she must have been shot, but was on his way home, and that his actions for the rest of the evening were usual and by no means those of one who had passed through any excitement. In closing the evidence in the case the defense introduced three shells which were found near where the girl was killed since the second trial. Wallace Lewis testified that with Of ficer Bailey of Marshfield and Jack Kronenberg of Bandon he had searched the place. The shells were 25 caliber but were of a kind which would not fit the Howell gun. HitneiM Carried Into Court. C. H. West testified that on the evening of the murder he heard two shots, a man's voice and a girl's cry. He was called by the defense. The prosecution wanted to impeach his testimony because he had testified somewhat differently at the previous trials, but the evidence was allowed to go to the jury. Since being called to Coquille. West was injured and he was brought into the courtroom on a stretcher to tes tify. The case may not be given to the jury until tomorrow morning. WALKER QUITE CONFIDENT WOOD MANAGERS WILLING T-O EAT CROW IF WRONG. Further Controversy With Louden Headquarters Deprecated but Some Salient Facts Cited. A strong disinclination to engage in further controversy with Lowden headquarters as to the relative strength of the Wood and Lowden candidacies was expressed yesterday by Dow V. Walker, who as manager of the Wood organization here has recently drawn emphatic protests from the Lowden organization by his statement that Lowden would finish a poor fourth in the primary elections here. "It 's the duty of political managers to claim everything in sight and then to eat crow the day after election," said Mr. Walker. "For this reason I have no further desire to appraise the claims made by Mr. Dunne of Lowden headquarters in behalf of his candidate. "There has been considerable news paper space devoted to ouija boards and various political prognostications which are obviously insincere. I will accept Mr. Dunne's imputation ts to using the ouija board with the ex planation that my ouija board says that General Wood has defeated Johnson in nine states and that in his fight on Johnson here General Wood is generally conceded to have the best chance of any candidate for winning the election. I am ready to eat crow next Saturday if this proves a false presage of a victory for Wood. I am ready to eat crow before Cien if anyone proves my logic to be in sincere."
