by nature, is the underlying reason for
the conference. Now that the railroad
rates are based upon cost of opera
tion, and it is no longer considered
good practice for the carriers to name
rates that are less than cost as a
means of stifling competitive water
lines, there is a disposition on the
part of those formerly engaged in
steamboattng again to place flat-bot
tom, stern-wheel boats on the rivers.
The directors of the state chamber
took the view that the discussion of
these matters would be timely, and
that out of such a conference might
HVow developments of great, moment
to the consumers of products of north
west mills, factories, farms and fruit
lands. The rapid increase In ocean-
borne traffic of the sawmills is fore
cast by the manufacturers and in its
wake would naturally follow the ef
fort to create abundance of other
cargo that would fill the holds of
ships that load lumber on their decks.
This in turn dictates that harbor fa
cilities must be provided for ocean
carriers at points where ocean and
river craft meet, as well as where rail
and ships are brought into connection.

the state -chamber, who has in hand

The directors of the Portland cham
ber are of the opinion that the con
vention will prove of benefit to .the
entire northwest in bringing together
the men of all the states, and will lend
every assistance possible that will
contribue to its success.

Weary from marching but delighted
with their enthusiastic reception, the
15. COO civil war veterans who paraded
today at the 54th annual encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic
rested tonight. On benches in parks
and around the soldiers' and' sailors'
monument, the veterans talked of
their march and; of the days when
their hikes were longer.
The parade covered a route less
than a mile in length, but it taxed,
the strength of many. A temperature
of 85 degrees made marching uncom
fortable, and before the parade was
finished many were carried to' first
aid stations to recover from mild heat
prostrations.
The marchers today were greeted
with a wartime enthusiasm. A con
tinuous roar of cheers greeted each
contingent.
Oanlel M. Hall, commander-in-chief,
flanked by the color and stand
ard bearers, reviewed the parade as
it passed the Indiana state capitol.
Leading the procession were mem
bers of the Illinois department led by
E. M. Armstrong of Peoria, 111., de

and Pennsylvania delegations were
two ex-slaves, Charles Wyatt of New
Orleans, wearing the army "uniform
which he wore In the war, and Harry

wartime navy uniform.
In the Ohio detachment was Dr.

LOS ANGELES. CaL. Sept. 22. (Spe
cial.) After the police, state and fed
eral oficlals took a hand in the wide
spread investigation of the case that
followed his temporary detention,
William N. ("Diamond Bill") Barrett,
war aviator, eloper-husband of Alice
Gordon Drexel, and Internationally
famous soldier of fortune and mis
fortune, was released late yesterday
afternoon to go where and as he
pleased, with an officer to keep him
company.
Barrett Is charged with the alleged
theft of $125,000 in jewels from Mrs,
John D. Spreckels Jr. in London.
This new phase of the case came
after the heads of the different de
partments, called into consultation to
decide a course of action, refused to
order Barrett's arrest until formal no
tification of the existence of a war
rant is cabled them through the of

F HAROLD VERMILYE did nothing
else in "The Acquittal" besides re-
ucing to taters the established tra-

make notes on their cuffs, carry little
red note books and wear pencils over
their ears, he has done a piece of
eal stage missionary work. The
specie usually displayed on the stage
so badly libels the profession that
Mr. Vermilye's unassuming and very

story which would make those

It is a story of unalloyed interest

Barrett Admit Aliases.
Barrett, who had been living in Los
Angeles under the names of Latham
and Basil Gordon, admitted he is Will
iam N. Barrett, husband of the daugh
ter of John R. Drexel of New York,
that he is the Same man who was
known in 1914 as "Diamond Bill" Bar
rett, and that he has been in this
county for several months under as
sumed names.' '
He further admitted that he was
with Mrs. John D. Spreckels Jr. in
London several months ago when she
parted with a valuable pearl neck
lace. He denied that he had any con
nection with its disappearance. His
story to Detective Sergeant Cline and
to other officials who questioned him
was that he merely accompanied Mrs.
Spreckles to a Regent-street jeweler
in London, where she sold the neck
lace for "several .thousand pounds,"
giving the man a bill of sale for it.
Desertion Rumor Denied.
He said he did "not desert Alice
Gordon Drexel Barrett In Europe, but
left her with plenty of means, com
ing to this country for a hunting trip.
While here he decided to enter motion
picture work for a few months,
adopting the different aliases for that
purpose. ,
"My wife and I are on good terms.
There is no truth to the reports that
we are separated permanently," he
said.
The drafts he is known to have de
posited with local banks for collec
tion are covered bv monev he be
lieves he now has on deposit, Barrett
said. He admitted he made small
loans from Los Angeles men on the
understanding mat ne would repay
tnem wnen tne urarts were cashed,
but said he was justified in expect
ing that his account with the London
Provincial & Southwestern bank of
London would be able to meet the
drafts.
He said that he had approximately
500 left on account when he sailed
for-America, but said his solicitor, E.
E. Edwards of London, was to deposit
additional funds after the sale of an
automobile and a lease held in Bar
rett's name.
Puffs Clearette at Qnl.
Throughout tne questioning Barrett
made a fine impression on the offi
cers and officials. His personal mag
netism, so widely known to his many
friends the world over, won him the
sympathy of the investigators on
every hand. He" puffed a cigarette
from beneath slightly arched eyes.
The "temporary detention" of Bar
rett climaxed one of the most spec
tacular and determined searches ever
witnessed here. After a day and night
of investigation, detectives found
Barrett and a man leaving a building
where the officers suspected he might
go before noon. Both were asked to
walk over to the police headquarters
and the other man, after proving his
Identity, was allowed to go. Barrett
was detained.
The determination of the police to
investigate Barrett was strengthened
by his efforts to hide his identity and
escape them throughout Tuesday af
ternoon and night. The facts that
he used different aliases at different
hotels, the . statements of his associ
ates and the efforts to remove all
identification marks from his cloth
ing, coupled with the dispatches from
London, gave rise to the decision to
interview Barrett.
While the officers were in the hotel.
a friend of Barrett's called Barrett's
secretary and told him to pack up
everything and get ready for a trip.
The equestrian stature of Theodore
Roosevelt as a rough rider will be
13 feet tall and will be placed on a
10 or 15-foot pedestal, said Dr. Henry
Waldo Coe, who is presenting the
statue to the city in honor of the ex
president, who was hie personal friend
and whom he has always admired
greatly. Dr. Coe returned yesterday
with his wife from a trip to Europe.
The statue is being made by A.
Phimister Proctor, nationally known
sculptor. The preliminary sketch has
been completed and Mr. Proctor soon
will begin work on the first model,
which will be about six feet high. It
will take about eix months to com
plete this and then the larger figure
will be started. Dr. Coe is at present
looking for a horse to be used as
model.
Mr. Proctor knew Roosevelt well
and was a friend of the family. He
will model the figure from photo
graphs in his possession.
The location for the completed
statue has not been chosen by Dr. Coe,
He will talk the matter over with
city authorities before he makes
definite choice.
Dr. Coe and Mrs. Coe saw the Proc
tors in the east recently. Mr. Proctor
is coming west and his wtfe has gone
to Palo Alto to be with her family.
Dr. Coe was in Europe for four
months. He made a study of mental
and nervous diseases of soldiers.- fol
lowing upon shell shock, making an
Intensive study of many cases which
came under iiis observation.
Dr. and Mrs. Coe motored through
Holland and Belgium and flew by
airplane from Brussels to London.
The trip ordinarily takes iVz hours,
but the day the Coes made the trip it
was stormy and the trip lasted for
four hours. They also visited Italy,
Switzerland, England, Scotland, Ire
land and Wales and spent some time
in the east before returning to Portland.

SALEM, Or., Sept. 22. (Special.)
After five hours of deliberation the
jury returned a verdict of guilty
against Mrs. Lena Steige.r. 65 years
old. charged with, conspiring with
Jesse Mullinlx to murder her husband
last March.
Mrs. Steiger will be sentenced at 10
o'clock Saturday morning ay Judge
Kelly.
The penalty under the statute for
the crime for which Mrs. Steiger was
found guilty provides for a term of
from one to ten years in the peniten
tiary.
Jnds;e Gives Instructions.
Mrs. Lena Steiger went on the wit
ness stand in the circuit court today
and bared her relations with the al
leged confidant, but denied that she
had tken any part in the attempted
slaying of Mr. Steiger.
' Following Mrs. Steiger's recital, the
defense offered two witnesses in sub
stantiation of minor points of evi
dence and rested.
The prosecution then produced three
witnesses in rebuttal, after which ar
guments of the opposing attorneys
were made. Judge Kelly's instruc
tions followed and the jury retired to
deliberate upon a verdict shortly after
E o clock.
Dramatic Juncture In Trial.
A dramatic juncture in the trial
came when Mrs. Steiger was under
direct examination.
"Did you ever stay at a hotel with
Mullinax." asked Walter E. Keyes,
one of her attorneys.
"Yes sir." she replied, "and I am
very much ashamed of it."
"Why aid you do It?"
"Because Mr. Mullinax was good
company. He told me of his travels
and . was very entertaining. But I
am sorry, very sorry, that I ever met
the man. 1 have disgraced my daugh
ter, my grandchildren and all of my
friends. I never thought Mr. Mulli
nax was a man with murder in his
heart, who would steal up to a barn
dor like a thief in the night and
try to kill a man. I have prayed to
the Lord to forgive me."
Plea Made to Jurors.
"Burning to the Jurors, she. continud:
" And I plead with you gentlemen to
find a way to forgive me."
Prior to this testimony, Mrs.
Steiger had told how Mrs. Martha
Peterson came into the life of her
husband about three years ago. She
alleged the years of married happi
ness in the Steiger home had come
to an end. that her husband became
cold towards her, choked her and
called her vile names and that when
she remonstrated with him for stay
ing at the Peterson home as late as
2 o'clock in the morning, he had
ordered her to leave their home, she
said.
Husband Is Blamed.
Mrs. Steiger's testimony implied
that it was because of her husband's
unkindness that she became intimate
with Mullinax. But she stoutly de
nied that site had talked with Mul
linax about killing her husband or
that she had ever told Mullinax that
she would commit suicide if he did
not kill Steiger.
"Mr. Steiger will never know how
much I thought of him," she said. "I
thought an awful sight of him and
never wanted Jess Mullinax to kill
him."
The woman acknowledged on the
stand that she had written the letter
to Mullinax from Leaburg, Or., which
she denied writing when first exam-,
ined by the sheriff after her arrest.
She had denied it, she said, because
she was ashamed of it.
The defense made no attempt to
cover up the intimacy that existed
between Mrs. Steiger and Mullinax.
A new angle came into the trial
when the defense introduced testi
mony to show that the Steiger home
was robbed the night of the shooting
after all the occupants had ' gone to
Salem with the wounded man. and
that the money,' which Mullinax

We Never Shut
Down
Live stock keeps coming to market
and we have to keep buying it and
putting it through our plants whether
conditions are good or poor.
Swift & Company has no control
over the quantity of live stock shipped
to market. Live-stock producers ship
their animals to the big stock-yards
markets, wherethey are sold through
commission men who represent the
shippers.
The result is that the live-stock
supply fluctuates from week to week.
We have to buy the animals, how
ever many or few there are; and they
have to be handled without delay.
We cannot hold dressed beef, lamb,
mutton, veaL fresh pork, or any other
fresh perishable meats, but have to
sell them at the prevailing market
prices within a few days. If we try
to sell at half a cent under the
prevailing prices, retailers would
naturally buy from us as long as our
supply lasted, and that supply would
be used up very quickly. On the
other hand, if we try to sell for half
a cent higher than the market prices,
the retailers, who shop around, would
buy from our competitors and we
would have our fresh meat left on
our hands. We have to sell our
products every day at prevailing
market prices whatever those prices
may be.
alf a cent up or down in the
wholesale price means the difference
between profit and loss to us. .
