MORR RAIV IS FOHKCA8T BY
tVKATHER BUREAU.
More rain, with southerly
winds, is the prediction for to
day, according to the weather
bureau. This means that the
storm from which Portland has
been suffering for the last two
days is not yet over.
The weather bureau an
nounced that yesterday's rain
fall, from 5 A. M. to 5 P. M..
amounted to .90 inch, compared
with a normal of .25 inch.
The river rose four-tenths
yesterday morning, but since
noon was reported practically
stationary.
KLAMATH FALLS. Or., Nov. 18.
(Special.) Farmers in the Tule lake
bed will lose a quarter of a million
dollars, it is estimated as the result
of rain damage to unthreshed grain
and grain that was sacked but still in
the field. An inch of rain fell yes
terday, and the storm continued
through the night with undiminished
Intensity. There has been no sign of
abatement today, and hope of-salvage
has dwindled as the downpour con
tinued. Barley is the principal Tule
lake crop.
The farmers in the Tule lake dis
trict were for the most part renters
of government land. They paid as
high as $13 an acre rental, the aver
age acre price being around $7. The
wholesale damage probably will mean
bankruptcy for many.
The storm, which started Sunday,
reached its highest intensity yester
day and last night. It has shown no
signs of abating. In other parts of
the county grain and hay crops are
under cover, with minor exceptions.
The rain will be beneficial to stock
men by renewing the depleted water
supply.
Up to 6 o'clock tonight the rain
fall for the last three days totaled
1.08 inches. Rain is still falling.

NEW MURDER IS CHARGED
NATIVE SATS MARINE RILLED
FOURTH PKISOSER.
Ex-Corporal Accused of Shooting
Captive With Machine Gun.
Torture Is Alleged.
POKT AU PRINCE. Haiti, Nov. 18.
(By the Associated Press.) Addi
tional evidence charging . Freeman
Lang, ex-corporal in the marine corps,
with murdering Haitian prisoners
was presented today before the naval
court of inquiry investigating activi
ties of the marines in Haiti.
The evidence was presented by
Meratus Touissiant, a native gen
darme. He testified that Lang called
a prisoner from jail in 1918, ques
tioned him and killed him with a
madiine gun at 10 paces while the
prisoner was walking quietly away.
The witness denied that the victim
was trying to escape when he was
killed.
Touissiant also testified he saw
Lang apply the electric current run
ning from a wireless apparatus to a
prisoner to make the man talk. Asked
whether the application proved fatal,
the witness replied: "I cannot say,
but he died in prison two days later."
Adolph Bourgot, a native gendarme
corporal, who yesterday point blank
accused Lang of murdering three
Haitian prisoners at Hinche, stuck
steadfastly to his story during a se
vere cross-examination. He said he
was seven feet away when the na
tives were brought out by a sergeant
on Lang's order and shot in quick
succession.
'I saw Lang take a revolver from
his holster and fire while the sentry
stood before the door," Bourgot de
clared. "I saw the men fall with my
own eyes."

The Leather Is the Real Test
In selling shoes, leather value is of the utmost importance. Some may hoast of style and
finish, yet the real test of the merit of a pair of shoes is the durability of the leather that is
in them. A pair of shoes that wears well is kept in service long
after the fine finish has been kicked off and the new style forgotten.
If the shoes wear welt, the wearer calls for another pair like them.
When you figure the wearing qualities, the exclusive style, the solid
comfort and the lasting satisfaction in the all-leather shoes we sell,
and you find as well, that they are sold at the lowest prices, you will
make this shoe store your shoe store, as hundreds of others are doing.

the heart off the great Russian.- Poetic temperament, mas
terly conception, gentleness off character, breadth off in-,
tellect and a technical equipment bewilderingly perffect
all have conspired to make his place among the few really
great pianists enviably serene and secure.

a number of those off the older masters. At home with
Gabrilowitsch and the Angeluswhat more could be de
sired? It is in performance that the Angelus astounds. Every
shading, every colorful nuance, every crescendo or decres ,
cendo, every intonation off melody or counter melody is

wonders of this modern miracle, how it brings to every
