the coalition bill, a forestry measure
to be presented to congress and which
Is said to be In opposition to the Gif
ford Pinchot bill, which gives greatly
increased federal forestry powers.
Other resolutions adopted call upon

laws as will "better safeguard" the
forests; pay tribute to the United
States weather bureau for its increas
ing assistance in fire prevention;
favor further use of airplanes in pa
trol work and development of the
wireless telephone system where it
can be used for reporting fires.
Forest Service la Commended.
A resolution praising the forest
service of the United States was read
and adopted by the foresters, as fol
lows: We commend1 the federal forest service
for the excellent spirit of co-operation
which it has always shown towards mat
ters affecting the lumber industry and
forest protection In particular. With lt
organization of trained men It lias con
stantly been in the forefront in suggesting
and putting into effect improvements
which have been of Inestimable value to
the lumber industry. We urge upon con
gress the need for providing necessary
funds for expansion of the work of this
service, which has a field of usefulness
extending far beyond the boundaries of
the national forests, and we also desire
to point out the importance of providing
adequate compensation for public officials
engaged in forest work.
The convention will come to a close
tomorrow night. The entire day, it
was announced, will be given over
to discussion of the income and ex
cess profits situation as affecting the
forest industry.
, Wireless Fire Service Good.
That the wireless telephone for re
porting forest fires in the northwest
has passed the experimental stage
was emphasized in an address to tne
onvention by Charles Grubb of Cali
. ornia.
Mr. Grubb demonstrated the effi
iency of the wireless instruments to
lie timbermen by having a phono
raph played into a wireless instru
ient at a point three miles south of
pokane. 'The music could be heard
perfectly.
Captain C. S. Cowan of the Canadian
rovernment forestry service in Urit
sh Columbia declared in a short talk
oliowing Mr. Grubb that the wireless
elephone is working out satisfac
orily. Ha said mountains 8000 feet
iigh are no barrier to the sound
vaves of the telephone instruments.
System As Yet Too Costly.
Clay Allen, district .forester of
regon, stated that the only draw
back in the general use of the wire
ass telephone at this time is the
igh cost of the equipment itself and
he skilled personnel required to
operate it.
Tomorrow, the last day of the
onvention. is to be income tax day.
). T. Mason. United States internal
evenue officer, will discuss develop
ments in the Income and excess
rofits situation as effecting the
jrest industry. The entire day will

TRINKETS, PRECIOUS STONES,'
WAR HEROES TRUNK SOLD
Mute Reminders of Death, Poverty and Broken Homes Auctioned at
Portland Remedial Loan Association Before Crowd of Curio Seekers.
LITTLE trinkets of gold and sil
ver and precious stones, most of
them mute reminders of death
and poverty and broken homes, went
under the hammer at the annual auc
tion sale held yesterday by the Port
land Remedial Loan association. Mrs.
Carrie Myers-Herman, manager of
the association, said last night that
the sale, had been a signal success.
Every article put on the block by
J. T. Wilson, auctioneer, was sold
after lively bidding by dealers and
curio collectors, who crowded the of
fices of the association both morn
ing and afternoon.
Numbered among the larger ar
ticles placed on the auction block was
a trunk, which, it was said, had be
longed to a university graduate and
former soldier who had given his life
in the recent war. The bidding was
lively despite the fact that no exam
ination of the contents could be made
by the spectators, and. the trunk sold
for nearly $40.
A complete Oddfellow uniform, in
cluding sword, gold-braided belt and
other trappings, was the object of
spirited and lively bidding by mem
bers of the order who recognized a
genuine bargain. It had been pledged
to the loan association nearly two
years ago by some member of the
order who had faced adversity- and
who was in need of funds. The out
fit was bid up from $6 to $39 before
it was finally sold.
Wedding Rlnea Sold.
Numbered among the articles sold
were a dozen or more wedding rings,
on which poverty-stricken wives had
rocured small loans. Diamond en
gagement rings, little gold wrist
watches, brooches, tie pins, bar pins
and countless other smaller articles
of jewelry were eagerly grasped by
the curio dealers and women.
A stereoscope with nearly 100 col
ored scenes of Ireland was bid up to
$8 before it found a purchaser. The
first bid offered for the outfit was
50 cents, which caused Auctioneer
Wilson to remark: x
"That man can't be Irish if that's
all he's going to offer."
Thereafter those with Celtic names
began to take an interest in that par
ticular auction and the stereoscope
brought a good price before the bid
ding died down.
An old, dilapidated rusty-brown
telescope which looked as though it
should long ago have been relegated
to the ash heap, was bid in for $6,
after the auctioneer had whettsd the
VIBES' ASSAILANT
TALKS AT RANDOM
Young College Man Tells of
His Many "Crimes."
INSANITY IS INDICATED
Hubert M. Berry Claims He Aided
in Council Bluffs 3Iall Car
Robbery and Bank Holdup.
Hubert M. Berry, 21-year-old col
lege man who attacked and attempted
to rob H. H. Vines, an aged Third
street pawnbroker, Monday noon,
either has become mentally unbal
anced as a result of his rash act or is
feigning insanity in clever fashion in
an effort to escape punishment' for
his confessed attempt at daylight
robbery.
At tha city Jail yesterday Berry
startled Patrolmen Ferry and Abbott,
two of his captors, when he quietly
Informed them that he was one of the
gang of mail-car robbers who stole
more than $3,000,000 in cash and bonds
from a Burlington ' railway car at
Council Bluffs. Iowa. about three
weeks ago." He also "confessed" that
he had been the brains of a daring
robbery of the Shreveport (La.) Na
tional bank in February. 1916, when
$8000 was taken, as he says, by four
armed bandits, of which he waa the
ring leader.
Written "Confmnlon" Is Made.
After he had made this oral "'con
fession," Berry then .wrote a state
ment of his previous "crimes." Fol
lowing these statements he talked
incoherently, while his eyes took on
a vacant stare always associated
with the mentally unbalanced.
"I have $15,000 in negotiable bonds
planted in the ground a short distance
from the depot in a small-town near
Des Moines, Iowa," he said.
Later he said he wanted to send
east and get these bonds in order to
bail himself out of jail, and again,
during his rambling statement, he
said he had asked Mayor Baker three
weeks ago for a job on the police
force.
"I'm a crook myself and could
catch all these burglars in Portland
in a few days." he said as he laughed
through the bars.
Federal Officers Summoned.
When Berry first made his "con
fession" federal officers were called
in to .examine him, but it was seen
at .once by all who talked with him
that he either is mentally unbalanced
or is feigning insanity.
IL H. Vines, who received a severe
cut on the head when young Berry
assaulted him with a filled bottle of
near-beer, was reported to be ill at
his home yesterday as a result of the
encounter.
' Berry was to have been taken be
fore the grand jury yesterday but
after he had detailed the statements
regarding his alleged criminal career
he was held at the city jail for
further investigation.
TEACHER KILLED BY AUTO
-.(Continued. From First PajrO
lng names: "Mother, Teddy, Ralph,
Ruby, Jane." . -
Persons interested in the case then
got Into communication with the
public school authorities and learned
that MIsj Ellfcn Thelander, Congress
hotel, was principal of the Scott
public school, the schoo". nearest to
where the tragedy occurred. Miss
Thelander gave tie first direct clew
when she said that Tqddy : nd Ralph
were the names of two young sons
of Mrs. Ralph Collett, and that they
attended her school.
Jlody Identified By Sister.
Miss Thelander then called Mrs.
Collett by telephone to ascertain
whether or not she or any member
of her family might be missing. Al-
curiosity of the bidders by saying the
contents of the telescope were un
known. That world-old desire to get
something for nothing inspired the
brave to boost up the price of the
telescopo to a point where even the
auctioneer thought it was time to call
a halt. The purchaser did not open
it in the presence of the spectators.
It was evident he didn't want to let
them know whether or not he had
been "stung.
Tearl Ring: Brings $30.
A gold ring with a pretty pearl
setting brought $30 after a man and
two women had bid against each
other for several minutes. A short
time later another pearl ring, equally
as large and apparently as valuable,
went under the hammer for $12.50.
The auction on the second pearl ring
was spoiled by some spectator who
in a loud voice wanted to know
whether or not it was a genuine
pearl. His doubti! stopped the ready
bidding in spite of the fact that Mrs.
Myers-Herman announced the asso
ciation would personally guarantee
every article.
A rich looking couch cover of ori
ental design went to some enthusias
tic purchaser for $30, while a moment
later a Persian rug, which had been
received by the association from the
same home, 'was bid up to around $50.
It was announced during the auction
that both had been purchased by some
young husband as a wedding glft'for
his bride. The home had been broken
up a, short time after the marriage
and. the rugs were practically new.
Several boxes of .considerable
weight, but of unknown contents,
sold for an average of between $8 and
$16. The bidding was in accordanca
with the weight of the boxes,
although the purchasers did not know
what they contained.
Bidding on war savings stamps and
liberty bonds was especially lively,
and in every instance these bonds and
stamps were sold for almost their
present bond market value." Liberty
bonds of $50 denomination sold for as
high as $48.75, while $100 bonds were
bought in for as high as $96.60. The
same was true of the war sr.vings
stamps, one man. purchasing $100
worth of the stamps for $96.
All articles put up at the auction
yesterday had been pawned at the re
medial loan association and had been
held for 14 months or more after the
pledges had not been redeemed. It
was said that none of the persons
who had borrowed on any of the
articles were present yesterday to bid
them in.
most intuitively, Mrs. Collett sur-'
mised that it was her sister. Miss
Ferguson, and ' at her request. Miss (
Thelander hurried to the morgue,
where she made positive identifica
tion of the body as that of Miss
Ferguson, whom she knew.
Neither Mrs. Collett nor any mem
ber of the family had any intimation
that Miss Ferguson had been killed
until the news was broken to them
by Miss Thelander by telephone. They
had not expected her to return home
until late at night.
Deputy Coroner Calkins eald that a
hurried examination of the body at
the morgue last night showed that
several ribs on the left side had
been crushed and he believed that one
of the broken ribs nan punctured the
heart, causing fnstant death. There
was a small cut and abrasion almost
in the center of the forehead, but it
was not believed the skull had been
fractured.
The woman's clothing had been

Miss Ferguson had been in Port
land for four years and had been a
teacher of English at Jefferson high
school for the last rnree years. She
was a native of Iowa and a graduate
of the Universitv of Iowa in the
class of 1910. She was a member of
the Phi Beta Kappa sorority. Since
coming to Portland and entering the
staff of the public schools, she had
become a great favorite with the
teachers generally and school auth
orities. . .
Besides her mother, who is now
visiting in Idaho, Miss Ferguson is

Demand for Bridge at Harrisburg
Is Becoming Insistent.
HARRISBURG, Or., Dec. 7. (Spe

"elephant." Two men are now re
quired to get it offshore, where one
man always performed the job be
fore. Heretofore the ferry main
tained continuous service, but owing
to the unweildy condition of the
boat both ferrymen are needed for
the day service, and the joint coun
ties havin? made no provision for
added ferrymen no night service can
be given.
