pi was asleep. Mrs. Crlspl received
the visitor. The husband told the po
lice, it is said, that his wife and
Syriann were familiar, and that he
saw Syriann attempt to force his wife
into an embrace, he "grabbed a shot
gun and fired." Shots lodged in Sy
rlann's face and forehead but, aside
from drawing considerable blood, 'did
no serious injury. A hand-to-hand
struggle followed. Syriann grabbed at
the gun and struck at Crispi. Crispi
swung the butt of the weapon across
the face of Syriann, it is said.
Patrolman Perkins, residing around
the corner from the Crispi home, heard
the shots. He dashed to the place,
with revolver drawn. Arriving there,
he placed both under arrest.
Syriann was taken to St. Vincent's
hosiptal.
There a .32-caliber revolver was
said to have been found in his trous
ers' pocket. He said he did not. at
tempt to use it in the struggle.
Syriann is held in the hospital under
a charge of carrying concealed weap
ons. Crispi Is held under a charge of
intent to kill.

Thomas E. Hays will be on tihe

it was announced in his headquarters,
1007 Broadway building Wednesday.
J. S. Hardy, who is in charge of the
office, says that more than 5000 sig
natures were obtained for the peti
tion and that after it had been sent
to Salem to file with the secretary
of state, more names came m. The
law requires about 3200 signatures
of legal voters. -
"We are going to make it a hot
campaign," predicted Mr. Hardy.
"People like a choice, and they have
none between R. N. Stanfield, repub
lican nominee, and George E. Cham
berlain, democratic nominee. Stan
field doesn't favor the league of na
tions and Chamberlain voted for the
Lodige reservation. -
"Advocacy of the league of nations,
as prepared at Versailles, will be
prominent in Mr. Hayes' campaign.
There may be some other things
talked about, but the league will be
the most prominent."
Mr. Hardy, Mke others identified
with the Hayes' boom, has been a
democrat in the past and he is sup
porting Cox now. The democrats
who are behind Mr. Hayes are those
who fought Chamberlain in the dem
ocratic primaries. The petitions were
circulated by paid solicitors, at least
in part, and as Mr. Hardy says. It

Legion Not Meddling, Says Com
mander of Clatsop Post, and Does
Not Intend to Do So.
ASTORIA, Or., Sept. 23. (Special.)
-"No arrests have yet been made in
the I. W. W. assault on George H.
Goetz of Portland. Chief of Polise
Carlson, who is conducting the inves
tigation, says the evidence thus far
warrants the belief that the affair
was not an organized I. W. W. plot,
but was the result of Individual
grievances.
The announcement that the Ameri
can Legion is taking a hand in the
matter is false, R. H. Hoskins, acting
commander of Clatsop post, said to
day. Lesion Not Participating.
"The American Legion is not med
dling with this affair." he said, "and
does not contemplate doing so." Of
course, as individuals the members
of the legion, like all other good citi
zens, condemn the act and hope the
perpetrators will be brought to jus
tice. The civil officers are conduct
ing the investigation, and. unless
they ask for our assistance, the le
gion will take no action. Simply be
cause an attack is said to have been
made on an ex-service man is no rea
son that the legion should interfere."
J. R. Hlnman, member, of the State
Americanization committee, said that
he contemplated no action so long as
the affair took on no new aspect.
Rev. William S. Gilbert, state com
mander of the American Legion, said
he had taken no steps 'in the matter
and would not do so, inasmuch as any
action at the present time was in
advisable, and that should the police
require the assistance of the Astoria
post, it would be a matter to be dealt
with wholly by the local officers.
Assailant Is IJescrfbed.
Omar Brekke and R. H. Lepala,
two tinners employed at the W. C.
Laws shop, have admitted to Chief
Carlson that they asked Mr. Goetz if
he had a union card, but asserted
that they made no threats other than
to teli Mr. Goetz he might find the
need of union affiliation. The police
have been unable to locate the spot
where Goetz was left after being
branded or the automobile which the
assailants used. Goetz has given the
officers a fairly good description of
one of his assailants. He believes
the attack upon him originated in
this city, as he has no knowledge of
any enmity against him in Portland,
or of any enemies who might have
hunted him down here. N. E. Crow,
sales manager for the Associated
Engineering association, by whom
Goetz is employed, arrived this after
noon to assist in the investigation.

In an effort to get' possession of

San Francisco business man, filed a
habeas corpus proceeding in the cir

When Bryant and his wife, Par

wife should retain temporary custody
of the child, says the father, who
settled on her $14,000 to be used for
the education of the boy, and later
added $7500 to the amount. The
further sum of $10,000 also was given
as a direct gift to the boy to be ap

Before the death of the mother, she
had her sister. Miss Dukeheart, ap

it is asserted. The sister now is said

that the income from that amount is
necessary for his maintenance, says
the father.
Bryant desires to take the boy and

BOISE. Idaho, Sep' 23". (Sp. -ial.)
H. F. Samuels, non-partisan league
candidate for United States senator,
ill withdraw in favor of United
States Senator John F. Nugent. This
announcement is made today by the
leagues official organ, the Idaho
Leader. It verifies rumors and re
ports that have been circulated in po

the next week, it Is understood, Mr.
Samuels will come to Boise and per
sonally file his withdrawal with the
secretary of state.
Senator Nugent was Indorsed two
years ago by the league convention.
"At that time," says the Leader,
"He was taken on faith. His record
for the past two years has been flaw
less, and he has voted consistently for
measures embodying the league-labor
Ideals."
Continuing, the Leader says:
"It must be remembered that the
last legislature forced the league
labor convention to be held before
the republican- and democratic con
ventions. "No one could foretell who the nom
inees of the latter convention would
be. Political fairness demands that.

"Mr. Riley did not tell all the truth
about this country," said Mr. Mc

the Columbia river highway and I am
going to make it famous in Pennsyl

It."
Mr. McCreight is much interested in
preserving forests and viewed the
forests in the west with great favor.
He believes there should be more
appropriations for national parks and
says he will spend some of his time
for the rest of his life if necessary in
trying to convert a few United States
senators to the fact that the parks
deserve more funds.

Forage for Goats.
Success of grazing operations in

riD Just made by W. R. Chapline.
nspector of grazing of the United
States forest service in Washington,
D. C, and J. L. Peterson, grazing
xamlner. They have returned from
the Whitman forest where they went
over the work being conducted by
Grazing Examiners Peterson and In
gram. Mr. Ingram and Mr. tnapune
next will go to the Siskiyou forest
to look into the possibilities of estab
lishing an experimental demonstra
tion in grazing goats on the forest
range. This probably will be in co
operation with the - Oregon Mohair
Goat association.
The trip just completed showed
that it has been possible to increase
the grazing authorization for cattle
from 1100 to 1700 head. This increase
has resulted from determining the
amount of available forage, obtaining
better control of the cattle grazing
the unit and by obtaining more ade
quate distribution of the cattle
through development of additional
watering places and the salting of
cattle one-half mile or more from
the water. By further development
and improvement in the stand of
forage where it has been depleted as
a result of overgrazing it is hoped a
greater number of cattle can be
grazed on the unit than the present
authorization allows.
