were disclosed here tonight when
Sheriff Roberts and H. H. Dearmond.
special prosecutor, stated ttiat they
have two witnesses ready to testify
that Weston had boasted to them of
torturing Krug in an endeavor to in
duce his ictim to disclose the hiding
place of his money and of killing the
old man after receiving a reiterated
denial of any hidden treasure.
The names of the witnesses are be
ing withheld by the authorities for
the time being, but one of them, now
In Portland, has been sent for and
will testify at the preliminary ex
amination in justice court, set for
Tuesday, October 5. Corroborative
evidence will be of a circumstantial
nature, Mr. Dearmond said.
Grennome Story Told.
Revelations of the defendant's al
leged conversation, which the author
ities state have already been made to
them by the two star witnesses, in
volve a story of choking the old man
into unconsciousness a number of
times after stunning him with a club
and binding him, and eventually
dragging him to an open fireplace
and roasting his feet until his toes
dropped off. The culmination of the
grewsome tale as quoted by the au
thorities came with the death of
Krug and the firing of his cabin. The
body was found charred almost be
yond recognition on the following
morning. The exact manner in which
Krug came to his death i3 not al
leged. Weston was arraigned this morn
ing before Justice of the Peace J. A.
Kastos. and the time for hearing set.
The defendant made no statement
other than to declare that he had
always been a good citizen and had
no desire other than to continue to
live as a good citizen 6hould.
Wenton Seem I.'nconecriied.
Tall and raw-boned, slightly griz
zled, he sat through the proceedings
apparently unconcerned, thoughtful
for the most part, but occasionally
smiling at the court and at the at
torneys. Addressing Informally his
son-in-law. District Attorney A. J.
Moore, as court adjourned, he re
marked: "I wish you'd go out and
put up my hay, Arthur. I've got 18
acres that I cant very well take
care of now."
Later in the day, Weston was in
terviewed in his cell, but had little
to say. lie denied a report that he
would plead self-defense, declaring
only that he would make a "straight
defense." He paced restlessly back
and forth across the cell as he in
timated that he would have no state
ment to give out until he had secured
an attorney.
District Attorney Moore, who, it had
been previously stated, would take no
part in the case, declared this morn
ing that he would not allow his re
lationship to the defendant to pre
vent him from doing his duty. "I
will insist on conducting the prose
cution, and I will leave no stone un
turned to obtain his conviction if ho
is guilty," Mr. Moore said.
Mrx, Moore Prostrated.
Mrs. Moore was prostrated on learn
ing of the charge preferred against
lur father, but agreed with her hus
band that he should appear in his
official capacity in this case as in any
ot her.
Weston has been a resident of cen
tral Oregon for many years, and is
known among his acquaintances in
the Squaw creek section as being ab
solutely fearless and abnormally pow
erful. Six feet five inches in height,
he weighs 25 pounds, and almost
unbelievable tales are told of his pro
digious strength.
News of the arrest recalled memo
ries among old-timers of a gun fight
in which Weston is said to have par
ticipated in the early days in Madras,
when he and his opponent, after rid
illing each other with bullets, fought
cn the ground until they were sepa
rated by spectators.

Manager of Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce on
Tour of Pacific Coast.
Ansel R. Clark of New York, man
ager of the bureau of foreign and do
mestic commerce, spoke at Reed col
lege yesterday on "Opportunities in
Foreign Trade." Mr. Clark is inter
ested in the establishment of courses
bearing on foreign trade in colleges
ond is speaking on his trip west to
the students and faculties of the col
leges and universities of the Pacific
coast. He was formerly with the
Portland Chamber of Commerce.
Foreign trade, Mr. Clark said, offers
a good profession to the college grad
uate and requires a greater number
of individuals who have been thor
oughly and carefully trained in this
branch of commerce. During the war
many persons entered this service, he
declared, adding that since normal
conditions had been restored they are
proving incompetent in this field.
The United States has taken first
place tn foreign commerce, which has
increased from $2,500,000,000 to ?10,
000,000.000 during the course of the
war. he said, but since the armistice
the European nations are establishing
their foreign markets again and are
offering this nation competition.
Mr. Clark met students interested in
foreign commerce after the assembly
and offered them any services he
could render in entering this field.

Modern Dancing Opposed.
Threatened action prohibiting its
membership from participating in
modern dancing, deprecation of prev
alence of gambling among youth of I
both sexes and smoking by women,
condemnation of the increasing sex
appeal of motion picture films, con
demnation of the "divorce evil" and
plea for mutual forbearance and
consideration in the relations of em
ployer and employe were the features
of the resolutions of the social serv
ice committee adopted today.
The twenty-fifth anniversary of the
Episcopate of the Right Rev. Peter
Trimble Rowe, bishop of Alaska since
1895, will be commemorated by the
raising of the Bishop Rowe founda
tion fund of J100.000 to be presented
to the bishop on November 3. The
income of the fund will be used in
the work of the church in Alaska un
der the direction of Bishop Rowe.
Hi hop Sumner Makrn Report.
The report of the social service
commission of the synod, severely
criticising several aspects of the civ
ilization of today, and pecommending
action on the part of the church in
restraint of its membership in certain
activities, was presented by Bishop
Walter Taylor Sumner of Oregon,
chairman of the commission, in place
of the morning address scheduled for
hi. . on the programme.
Under the headline "Moral Dan
gers," the commission reported:
"We feel that we should call the at
tention of the province to the desir
ability of a campaign against the im
moral dancing now practiced, not
only in public dance halls but In
some of the more respectable circles.
Ban on Dancinsi Advised.
"It is the opinion of your commis
sion that unless there is immediate
and decided change in the character
of the dancing that a ban must be
put upon such gatherings, public
opinion aroused thereby and the time
hastened for a change in the situa
tion a situation fraught with, if not
absolute immorality, at least the
greatest possible suggestion and
temptation to it.
Further, we believe that public
opinion should be aroused against
gambling on the part of young
women, no less than men, and the
cultivation of the gambling spirit
among the youth. This includes
gambling not only with cards, but
with dice. More questioning of the
young will reveal the startling and
widespread practice which is ' Just
springing up. Along with this goes
the increase in smoking on the part
of women. Such a practice is a real
moral daneger, and the clergy should
speak clearly and forcefully in con
demnation. Sex Lure tn Movies. x
We also beg to direct the attention
of the church to what we believe to
be a false education imparted by a
large number of motion picture films.
That which might be used as a great
educational agency is often prosti
tuted to low ends. The increasing-sex
appeal in many of these films con
stitutes a tremendous growing menace
to the young life of the nation. We
suggest that as one remedy a stricter
censorship be maintained and that
efforts be made in each state to ob
tain a state board of censorship be
fore which all films must be exhibited
before they are shown to the public.
This becomes more and more neces
sary because of the fact that the na
tional board of censorship is largely
made up of those who are directly in
terested in the motion picture industry.
lou commission calls again to
your attention the increasing number
of divorces being granted, breaking
down the family life and leaving half
orphans unprotected, except by rela
tives or by the state. Recent statis
tics show that the states which con
stitute this province have the largest
percentage of divorces In the country
Defect In Law Charged.
"The outstanding fault in this mat
ter is the defect in the law which per
mits the granting of divorces when
not contested. This gives rise to con
stant collusion manifestly an ex
tremely dangerous condition. Your
commission recommends that each di
ocesan commission give this matter
immediate attention, seeking local
statistics, comparing them with those
of the nation.
"In a clinical study made of 27 di
vorce cases in one of the superior
courts of Washington it was dlscov
erad that In one case only were the
husband and wife members of a
Christian church. In a few cases the
wife belonged, the record being in
about 75 per cent cases 'husband
laughs at religion.' 'husband an
atheist' or 'husband opposed to the
church.' In about 63 per cent o,f the
cases both husband and wife ex
pressed themselves as not only hav
ing no religious affiliation, but as
caring nothing whatever for either
church or religion. This goes to
show that only as the home is built
on religion is its continued exist
ence sure.

Marriage Sanctity Urged.
" "The mere publication of such facts
will compel public attention and help
build up a public conscience, which,
after all, is the greatest deterrent to
social immorality that exists.
"Those who take up this phase of
social effort will find the members of
the bar and especially the judges gen
erally willing and even keen to rem
edy what they recognize is a growing
menace to family life and society as a
whole.
"More and more must we emphasize
the sanctity of marriage and more and
more make over society that it may
approximate the point that divorce is
a mighty unpopular step and the re
marriage of divorced persons, except
as the Bible and canons permit, is fol
lowed by social disgrace."

Why Are Skin Diseases
So Difficult to Overcome?
When your skin breaks out with
Itching eruptions, tetter, rash, eczema,
psoryasis, or other terrifying dis
orders, very often the pain becomes
so intense, and the discomfort so
thoroughly unbearable that you are
willing to try almost any remedy
that you think will give some meas
ure of relief from the torture.
But temporary relief will do you
but little good, for soon all the itch
ing and irritation breaks out afresh
with renewed fury, and you soon real
ize that local remedies such as oint
ments, salves and similar treatment
will never rid you of your trouble.
It will not be so difficult to rid
yourself of skin diseases if you will
but realize that these troubles origin
ate in the blood, and if you expect
real substantial relief you must treat
them through the blood.
The best remedy for this purpose is
S. S. S., the fine old blood remedy
that purifies the blood of disease
germs, and thus restores the skin to
a norma! and healthy condition.
Begin taking S. S S. today, and
write a complete history of your case,
and our medical director will give you
expert advice without charge. Ad
