BERRY
IS
DECLARED
INSANE BY EXPERTS
"College Boy" Hoidup May
Be Sent to Asylum.
DEMENTIA IS AFFLICTION
Grand Jury Indictment Against
Vooth Will Stand Pending His
.Recovery From Ailment.
Hubert Berry. 21 years old, and
member of a prominent local family,
who is charged with having hit James
Vines, an aged pawnbroker, with a
bottle, yesterday was found to be
insane by an examining board, com
posed of Drs. S. E. Josephi. J. . cai
breath and W. T. Williamson. Simul
taneously with the announcement was
the report of the grand jury, wh'eh
brought an Indictment against the
youth for assault with attempt to
rob.
Although Berry has not yet been
committed to the state hospital, cir
cult judges conferred on the matter
last night and it is probable that such
action will be taken this week. In
this event the indictment will be sent
with him and- when the boy is re
stored to his mental equilibrium he
may be held to answer to the charge
in the circuit court.
Dementia of Paranoic Type.
, The physicians were unanimous in
their opinion that Berry is sutler
lag from demntia praecox of paranoic
type. It was brought out at the hear
ing held before Judge. Morrow that
for a number of years Berry has not
been in a normal state of mind-
Stories told yesterday by the de
fen'dant, who is the stepson of J. H.
Mackenzie, agreed to a certain extent
with his statements at the time of
his arrest on December 6. He de
clared yesterday that he "always had
been a criminal" and maintained that
he was rUigleader In the recent bi
mail robbery at Council Bluffs, la..
although at the time this took place
he was at home in the care of his
mother.
The young man has the delusion
that all persons are persecuting him
and says that he assaulted the pawn
broker because he imagined Vines
' knew where bonds taken from United
States mail pouches -were hidden, and
that he had not told the police was
because he did not wish to be lm
plicated In train robberies at the time.
Criminal Law His Ambition.
He declared that it always had been
his ambition to become a great
criminal lawyer, and that in order to
be a good one he believed he should
first know how to be a criminal. An
other statement was to the effect
that he has burled J15.000 on an
island, his share in one robbery, and
mat ne got jsuuu on anotner aeai ana
lost it in Wall street.
Relatives testified that members
both the young man's mother's and
father's families have been confined
In the state hospital.
Ito be found in any other part of Spain.
The military -spectacle alone is bril
liant, with the striking, uniforms of
red and blue hussars, the dark blue of
the artillerymen and the red trousers
and blue tunics of the infantry as the
' old and new guards face each other at
10 o'clock, with flags unfurled in the
center and the two regimental bands
drawn up In circles playing martial
airs. "The customary brilliant sun
shine makes the fixed bayonets and
unsheathed swords flash in the air as
the various units carry out the smare
military exercises.
Thousands of civilians, mostly vis
itors to Madrid, gather around the
precincts of the palace to watch the
spectacle. Numbers of them are from
the Spanish nrovincea and their brisrht
shawls and scarves, mixed with the m'RIVE
form a fit setting to the bright pic
ture. Further details are added by
the Itinerant venders of. peanuts and
hot butter rolls and other delicacies
loved by the children, who, under the
eye of their nursemaids, in their pic
turesque costumes of varied hues, run
hither and thither.
Sometimes the king himself comes
out onto the balcony to salute his
guard and then all Is hushed while
he faces the regimental flags and, af.
ter bowing his head, raises his hand
to his kepi.
The picture is on view for about an
hour every morning. Sl

Resolution Condemning . "Bar

CHICAGO, Dec. 1. The city coun
cil yesterday unanimously adopted
resolution condemning what it termed
the armed Invasion of Ireland bx
Great Britain."
The resolution follows in part:
"Whereas, Sir Hamar Greenwood,
chief secretary for Ireland for the
British government, declared in
speech in parliament that he 'ba,d not
heard condemnation, official or unof
ficial, from any civilised community
of Great Britain's actions in Ireland,
and
Whereas, the action referred to

and barbarous practice of making re.

of the civilian population of Ireland
that has been carried on by the mili
tary forces of Great Britain for the
last several months with ever-increas
ing brutality and disregard for human
life; therefore, be it
Resolved, by the city council of
the city of Chicago, that we hereby
unreservedly condemn such practices
and that we earnestly protest against
the present armed invasion of Ireland
by Great Britain as being clearly
against the great principle of 'govern

Once more the call has' sounded for
the old liberty loan organization
which placed Oregon in the forefront
not to strive again for financial
sinews to prosecute war, but to aid
in the Herbert Hoover relief drive
for the starving children of Europe,
estimated at the appalling total of
3.300.000. The drive in this state, its
objective $250,000, apportioned equal
ly to Portland and the outlying coun
ties,; is to begin on Sunday, Decern

Various relief societies were called
into service by Mr. Hoover when the
national campaign was outlined, and
when W. B. Ayer was appointed di
rector for Oregon the local branches
answered to the last unit, supplying
a complete organization for the city
campaign. Robert L. Smith, ex-state
manager o'f liberty loans, and Edward
Cookinghn, chairman of the state
liberty loan committee, rallied the
formerly comprehensive liberty loan
organization for work in the outer
state counties. Mr. Cookingham al

LETTER CALLED FORGERY
Dallas Minister Denies Antliorship
of Vitriolic Publication.
DAI,LES. Or., Dec. 16. (Special.X
Rev. Donald A- Mackenzie, pastor of
the Presbyterian church in this city,
yesterday pronounced a vitriolic : let
ter addressed to the Signs of the
Times and appearing in the Liberty,
a Washington (D. C.) publication,
over his alleged signature, a forgery.
The letter, written by an unidentified
person, attacked the liberal Sunday
attitude toward amusements and pur

had exonerated him from all sus
picion of writing it, although it bore
his name.
Mr. Mackenzie said that the author!
of the letter had not been traced. He
said the letter had not been published
by the Signs of the Times and its
publication in the Liberty at Wash
ington came as a complete surprise
to him. .
The company's reason for adopting
this method is given as an effort to
demonstrate a means of ending the
epidemic of payroll robberies and "to
show that modern business may be
conducted most efficiently without
the use of 'small change,' thus leav-

THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Dec. IS. Votes for resi
dents of the District of Columbia are
more remote Just now than for some
years. It would seem. The reason for
this is found in present economic con
ditions. Rents and food have climbed
steadily higher and higher here,
while everything, particularly food,
has slumped throughout the rest of
the country.
Residents of Washington are
blamed for the exorbitant prices be
cause the merchant and landlord
class constitute a large part of the
population of the city. Of the 440.000
inhabitants of Washington 150.000 or
more are non-residents who are com
pelled to be here most of the year be
cause this city is the seat of the na
tional government.
When members of congress re
turned for the present session they
found that rents on apartments and
dwellings had in many Instances
doubled in price and some had gone
even higher, hence the reluctance of
lawmakers to place any more power
in the hands of Washington residents.

BEND. Or.. Dec. 16. (Special.) A
victim of the cold wave which swept
over central Oregon early In tne
week, Frank Cherrytree, aged 34, of
Brawley, CaL. traveling by automo
bile from Spokane to his home, froze
to death 16 miles below Crescent, in
Klamath countv. it was reported at
national forest headquarters Wednes
day. E. C. Sweo of Spokane who was
accompanying Cherrytree when their
light automobile stalled in the deep
snow, passed through the same ordeal
as the Californian, but' suffered no
ill ffects. ,
Without provisions, . bedding. - or
snowshoes, wearing light summer
clothing and possessing little knowl
edge of the country, Sweo and Cherry
tree passed through Crescent on their
way south last . Wednesday.. After
they had made 16 miles, they ran into
snow three feet deep, and could
neither go on nor back out. On con
sulting their map, they tramped to
Beaver Marsh, 10 miles distant, be
lieving there to be a town at that
point. They found none and plodded
back to their automobile, the entire
20 miles taking two days, Sweo de
clared.
Weak from starvation and loss of
sleep, and suffering intensely in the
20-below-zero cold, Cherrytree told
his companion to return to Crescent
for help. Doggedly pushing his way
through the drifts and averaging only
five miles a day, Sweo finally reached
the town Monday noon. He had been
without food or sleep for five days.
A searching party set out at once
and the body of the Californian was
found shortly before dark yesterday
by Carey Stearns. Apparently Cherry
tree had been unable to keep awake
to feed his campflre, and had decided
to try the trip to Crescent. He had
made only a quarter of a mile when
he fell exhausted, and soon succumbed
to the cold. The body was brought to
Crescent this morning.
The Klamath county coroner was
notified.

"Don't be too truthful to your wife
it is better to lie a little than be un
happy much.
"Don't say her drees is unbecoming

"Don't tell her she is looking
fagged. i
"Don't try to be too humorous; it
piques her vanity.
"Only too many' men allow happy
courtships to grow into dull mar-riages.
"Once he is married a man first
neglects his clothes, then his manners
and finally his attentions to his wife.
"Only the husband who finds some
thing to keep his wife's mind occupied
every evening can hope to be happy.
Women are more Interested In men

"Finally, maintain the complimen

thing.

JOE GORMAN KNOCKS
OUT SHIFTY GRUNAN
Finishing WaHop Is Smash to
Pit of Stomach.
FOUL CLAIM DISALLOWED
Whole Card of Five Fights Full of
Sensational Battling, With
Every Bout a Good One.
- BY DICK SHARP.
Five red hot battles crammed full
of torrid milling greeted the fistic
fans who were on hand at the Heillg
theater Wednesday night. From the
time that Freddie Lough and Johnny
Fug-ate stepped into the ring and bat
tled to a four-round draw in the cur
tain raiser until Joe Gorman lifted
left hook to some spot on A. Grunan's
body between the latter's shoe laces
and his chin, it was a darb of a show,
The main go of the evening was a
thrilling racket from the opening
gong to the sixth, when it came to
sudden termination. The round had
been under way a little more than a
minute when Gorman lifted a left
from the floor that caught Grunan
in the region of the solar plexus.
Some said it. was low, Grunan among
them. Others were staunch in pro
nouncing it a fair punch to the pit.
Grunan dropped to the floor In pain
fronvthe effect of the wallop and lay
there. Instead of counting out
Referee Grover Francis-stooped over
him and unloosened the belt around
his waist. Grunan writhed in pain
and was unable to rise to his feet.
The crowd was on its toes and clam
bering onto the stage from every di
rection.
Referee Takes Time to Call It. -
The fact that Gorman had hit Gru
nan rather low on the right side of
the groin several times previously
evidently left some doubt in the ref
eree's mind as to the finishing punch.
Grunan was lifted to his corner still
uncounted while Timer George Par
ker rang the bell. Doctor Sam Gellert,
for the Portland boxing commission,
examined Grunan and said it was not
evident that Grunan had been fouled,
so Francis, walked over to Gorman's
6orner and raised the fight-mad
KewpJe's hand in token of victory..
wnat a battle it was up to the
finish! Grunan was there with the
boxing ability and landed many ' a
clean punch, but Joe was as tough as
a keg of nails and his wallops seemed
more effective than Grunan's.
Gorman has had some soft fights
in his day and he has had some tough
nes. He was in one of the tough ones
last night until it ended. Grunan's
weight was announced as 13414 while
Gorman's was 133 ft. -
Some confusion arose at the start
when Gorman declined to shake hands
In the center of the ring after the
boys had received their instructions
from the rereree. In justice to Gorman
it must be said that it was not be
cause he did not care to shake hands
with Grunan that he backed away,
but a matter of his religion. He did
stick out his paws to shake when the
gong rang for the start of the bout.
Gmnam Cleverer Boxer
Grunan boxed carefully in the first
canto and took the round. Gorman was
unable to get anything at long range
and only kidney blows were on his
list. - "
. The second round; ' found the . two
warming up to the Iray and was even
Grunan easily outboxed Joe, but Gor
man's work in close and in the clinches
evened up the session.
The third was a donnybrook, both
men opening up and letting drive with
everything they had on the ball.
Grunan caught Gorman flush on the
chin but couldn't slow up his opponent
for a minute. Gorman swung and
landed with a left -uppercut and took
some on the chin.
The fourth round was blng-bang-bing,
with never a stop. Gorman
fought like an enraged tiger. Grunan
remained cool and was ready to ex
change wallops with his rugged op
ponent at any stage of the game. He
came near ..to upsetting Joe with a
crashing right-cross. .
Gorman came out strong in the
fifth and led continually with a left
swinging upperout. Grunan jabbed
him with a left and fought back.
Grunan led with a left and crossed
a right. Gorman got in some hefty
punches in -the clinches and caught
Grunan with a solid overhand right
on the side of the face. '
Gorman Too Tonga, a Bird.
Gorman was becoming more fero
cious each round, but had yet to bat

AERIAL ROUTE PROPOSED
Edmonton to Be Conencted With
-MacKenzle River Oil Fields.
EDMONTON. Alta. The establish
ment of an aerial route from Edmon
ton to the oil fields of Fert Norman,
on the MacKenrie river, is the latest
talked of development in connection
with the pressing transportation
problem existing as a result of the
Fort Norman point being so far re
moved, from the business centers of
Alberta-
Edmonton aviators are entering
into negotiations for such a service
with a zest indicating that as little
time as possible will be wasted In
the preliminary arrangements.
The proposal ' calls for the estab
lishment of landing stages at inter
vals along the route and the trans
portation, in the first instahoe, before
flying, of gasoline and other essen
tials for the successful operation of
flying machines. The distance to
Fort Norman from here is about 900
miles as the crow flies. Three or four
days at the most would be sufficient
to accomplish the distance when once
a relay service of planes is estab
lished. -..-.
