Confession Declares There Was Xo
Intent to Rill, Just Merely
to Frighten..
NEW YORK. June JO. (Special.)
Almost-two years after the crime, th
murder of Daniel F. Kaber, wealthy
publisher. In his home at Lakewood,
a suburb of Cleveland, on the night
of July 18, 1919, was cleared up early
this morning in police headquarters
here by confessions from Mrs. Eva
Catherine Kaber, his widow, and Ma
rian .McArdle, 19. his stepdaughter.-
Mrs. Mary Brickel. 69, mother of
Mrs. Kaber, Is held in jail at Cleve
land, charged- with knowledge of the
crime.
Mrs. Kaber brojse down after 18
hours of relentless questioning by
Captain Carey of the New Tork homi
cide squad and Chief of Police Chrls
tensen of Lakewood. She admitted
she had mixed arsenic in her hus
band's food for weeks prior to the.
murder and had arranged with a spir
itualistic midwife to hire the two
assassins who mortally stabbed Mr.
Kaber on his sick bed.
Explanation In Fanlaallc.
Denying she had Intended muraer,
the widow gave a fantastic explana
tion of her act in sending the two
men to her husband's bedside, saying
that she dispatched them as "ghosts"
merely to wake the sick man up'in
the dark of night and frighten him
into treating her more kindly and
giving her more money. She said her
husband, not believing In ghosts,
must have fought with the night vis
itors and been'killed in the struggle.
The widow's story was contradicted
In several vital points by her daugh-'
ter'aj statement. They were examined
separately. Mrs. Kaber admitted she
waa to have paid the two men. $100.
Her daughter said the pay was to
have been J3000.
ry Denied dionta."
According to Mrs. Kaber's state
ment, she refused to pay the
"ghosts" after she learned murder
had been committed and they hounded
her and threatened her so that she
fied to New York. This was her
explanation of being a fugitive.
Mrs. Kaber said that she had con
sulted mediums several times, trying
to have her husband influenced to
treat her better. These ministra
tions having failed, she said she went
to an Italian woman, who is charged
with taking her to "the woman of
arsenic," who is being held in Cleve
land on the charge of teaching Mrs.
Kaber how to use the arsenic. Later,
she says, the Italian woman engaged
the "ghosts."
In her confession, Mrs. Kaber re
ferred to the "ghosts" as Spaniards.
But the police say they were Ital
ians. They say one "the man in tha
cap" who did the actual stabbing,
while the second held the sick man
is now under arrest in Cleveland. Mr.
Kaber's last words were that "the
man in the cap" was the murderer.
Knowledge at Poison Denied.
Mrs. Kaber asserted that she did
jiot know the arsenic she mixed with
her husband's food was poison. She
sad "the woman of. arsenic" gave it
to her as medicine, "to cure his bad
habits." The widow admitted the
"medicine" came in a bottle answer
ing the description of a bottle found
'in a flower urn at the KaDer nome
after Mrs. Kaber had sold the house
and came to New York. That bottle
had traces of arsenic.
The mother's story did not impli
cate her daughter, but Marian ad
mitted to the police that when she
returned home from Smith college
three weeks before the murder she
"sensed something was wrong." She
paid she accompanied her mother to
the home of the midwife who is
charged with hiring thai assassins.
mother Believes In Supernatural.
Marian declared her mother was a
firm believer in the supernatural and
frequently visited fortune tellers and
palmists. Marian tells fortunes in
an amateur way. The girl said tier
mother underwent a noticeable
change after visiting the midwife.
Edward C. Stanton, prosecutor of
Cuyahoga county, in which the crime
was committed, said he would prove
at the trial a deliberate plot to get
rid of Kaber. He said the arsenic
had rendered the man's arms and legs
useless, so that he could not .have
battled with the "ghosts." -MMnire
Voder Arrest.
'The ghosts Mrs Kaber tells of
went to that house with only -one
object In view," said Mr. Stanton.
'They went to kill, whether In tha
disguise of ghosts or as professional
murders. The arsenic was given to
kill and when It failed the knifera
were called into action." ;
The Cleveland police say the second
assassin Is the cousin of the "man In"

nyside may be exhumed in order to
examine other vital organs than the
stomach and determine finally
whether or not evidences of poison
ing exist. Mrs. Leach died about ten
days ago, almost without warning,

VESSEL LIMPS INTO PORT
With thousands of spectators lining
the Broadway and Steel bridges and
the river banks yesterday afternoon,
the Portland Motor Boat club staged
a regatta on the Willamette as its
contribution to the Kpse Festival pro
gramme. The regatta, which had been
planned as the chief event of the day,
prcyved an anti-climax' to the other
Festival activities of the week. There
were comparatively -few thrills, with
the exception of a race by crews from
the waV ships in port and the work of
a group of swimmers from Multnomah
club, who drew the applause of the
spectators with brilliant diving and
surf-board riding.
The motor boat races 'were slow in
getting started and the entire pro
gramme was. further delayed by long
waits between races. The delays ap
parently were due to the lack of pa
trol boats on the course and continual
tiresome wrangling over entries.
False Starts Are Made.
Several false starts were made in
the handicap races, and once when
the speed boats had circled the course
twice they were called back and it
all had to be done over again. In
the free-for-all race the Oregon Wolf
was barred from the contest after
considerable discussion and wigwag
ging between admirals and commo
dores of the regatta committee.
The barring of the Wolf left only
one real contender, which was Volger
Boy IV, and the free-for-all was an
easy victory for this boat. . .
Volger Boy IV also was scheduled
to race against a hydroplane, but this
event fell through, due to the fact
the two machines could not get to
gether for a good start.
The real race of, the afternoon and
one that was greatly enjoyed vas the
International : whaleboat cruise be
tween one crew from the Canadian
cruiser and six boats from the United
States destroyers. The Canadians
turned in a victory by three-quarters
of a boat length over the nearest
American boat. The cutter 'from a

in the race.

SALEM, Or June 10. (Special.)
J. B. Miner of Bend has written a let

whether ten ex-service men of that
vicinity can pool their loans for the
purpose of purchasing a stock ranch.

Board Calls on Public to See That
This Is Last Prize Fight to
Be Fought in America.
WASHINGTON, D. C, ' June 10.
With "the declaration that It was
astonishing that "any state In the
American -union would tolerate an
exhibition not only bloody and brutal
in itself, but" intended to appeal to
all that is abyssmal In the average
man," the board of temperance and
public morals of" the Methodiet
Episcopal church issued a statement
today- condemning the Dempsey
Carpentier fight to be held at Jersey
City July 2.
."All right-thinking Americans," the
statement said, "ought to 'see to It
that tnis is the last prize fight fought
on American soil."
Boxing was characterized as "a
perfectly harmless, character-building
sport,." but the Dempsey-Carpcntier
bout, the statement said, ."will not
be boxing or anything like boxing."
"Men who habitually see such
things Inevitably become not only
brutal, but cowardly," the statement
continued, "and lose every sense of
sportsmanship. Women who see them
frequently In the end become things
that are Certainly not women."

DENVER. June, 10. Delegates to
the convention of the metal trades,
department of the American Federa
tion of Labor this afternoon byan
overwhelming vote defeated the -proposal
designed, to bring about the or
ganization of one big metal trades
union in the United States.
Representatives of the Interna
tional Association of Machinists, who
introduced the resolution, were
vigorously scored as advocating and
attempting to revive the "one big
union" Idea in this country. The
debate was long and bitter, re pre -aentat'ves
of the Pattern-Makers'
league of North America, the Inter
national Brotherhood of Boilermakers
and 'International Brotherhood of
Electrical .Workers vigorously op
posing the proposal.
. Reas!uloa la Defeated.
1 A rollcall showed that the resolu
tion was defeated by a vote of 3210
to 171. The International Associa
tion of Machinists was the only union
to vote solidly for the resolution.
The resolution presented by thi
machinists asserted that the amalga
mation of the .metal trades organi
zations into one compact, efficient
union is of necessity the practical
means of meeting and solving the
present great problem and a guar
antee that will provide for the or
ganized workers the ability to protect
their interests and secure improved
economic conditions for the future."
Conference In Proponed.
The department was urged to call
a conference of international presi
dents of affiliated organizations with
one delegate from each trade from
each state and province of North
America for the purpose of discussing
and determining the question of
closer affiliation, and if advisable,
amalgamation of ail metal trades.
Recommendations of the conference
were to hi submitted by the various
unions to a referendum of -their
membership. ,
Curley Grow, delegate of the ma
chinists from the Pacific coast, led
ine ngnt lor the resolution, declaring
that the metal trades unions must
sonairy ana organize to meet the
great industrial conspiracy, which, he
said, has been organized by the em
ployers. He said that the present
craft form of organization will not
permit the . workers to co-ordinate
their efforts to act in concert and
get the desired results.
Coast Failure Is Cited.
The 1 amalgamation proposal, Mr.
Grow said, had been approved by an
overwhelming vote of the member
ship of the machinists' union.
James Wilson of Cincinnati, O., head
of the pattern makers' union, said
his organization had unanimously re-
ected such a proposal. He ald the
'one big union" idea had been a fail
ure on the Pacific coast and In Can
ada, and declared it an "awful crime"
for men to- preach doctrines of thia
kind to the working people "of this
country. . . '
We have had bitter experiences
with the one big union on the Pacific
coast and in Seattle." said M. F. Mc
Guire 'of San Francisco, a delegate for
the boilermakers' union. "We are
till suffering from the effects of that
gitatlon. We don't want any more
f It. It works for the destruction of
the trades unfbn movement."
C'loner Union Favred.
H. W. Brown, also of the Pacific
coast, a machinist delegate, took tne
floor, asserting that-his organization
was not advocating the "one big
union," but wished to bring about an
malgamation and closer co-operation
between the various metal trades or
ganizations. m
The department - unanimously In
dorsed the resolution presented early
in the day demanding that Admiral
ims be recalled from England and
be dishonorably discharged from the
United States navy, if 'it was found
that he was correctly quoted regard-
ng remarks on the Irish question
made in London.
The resolution now will be sent to
the convention of the American Fed
eration, of Labor which meets next
week.
Work Division Wanted..
The convention also adopted a reso
lution calling upon the department to
recommend to its affiliated organiza
tions to make provision in all future
agreements for the equalizing of
work during industrial depressions.
This resolution asserted that it is ap
parent that a great portion of the
industrial depression is artificial and
was manufactured for the purpose of
lowering living and working stam'-
d '. and to weaken the labor move-
Stanfield and Gooding Get Prom
ise ot A'ld at Conference
With Bankers.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, D. C, June 10. As a re
sult of an agreement reached today
at a conference between Senators I
Stanfield of Oregon and Gooding of
Idaho, with J. P. Morgan. New York
financier. Secretary of the Treajury
Mellon and the governors of the re
gional federal rrserve banks of New
York and Kansas City, the livestock
men of the west are to be financed
without the government.
Mr. Morgan said that he would
promise that New York banking in
terests would supply at least 60 per
cent of a $30,000,000 pool for aiding
western livestock men If tho r:maln
der were raised in other parts of the
country. It was suggested at the
conference that Senator -tanfield
should go to Chicago and therj attend
another conference to be arranged
by the governor of t:ie Chicago fed
eral reserve bank, at which the move
ment should be started for raising
the remainder of the pool. He prob
ably will go to Chicago Tuesday.
Senator' Stanfield some time ago In
troduced an amendment to the fed
eral reserve ct which would have
made it possible for '.he federal re
serve banks to finance western live
stock raisers through the livestock
banks and cattle loan companies This
amendment had the approval of the
secretary of tho treasury and the
controller of the currency, but It
was suggested that Mr. Stanfield
withhold the request for Jegislatlve
action on his amendment until such a
conference as that held today could
be arranged. -The
understanding reached tcday
causes it to be believed thatyhe fi
nancial resources needed by the live
stock men of the west can be had
through private sources entirely.

Permanent Injunction against strik
ers Interfering with violence In the
present marine walkout on the water
front was granted by Judge Wolver
ton in federal court yesterday, fol
lowing arguments between Lcftpr
W. Humphreys, United States attor
ney, and W. S. U'Rrn. who is attor
ney for the waterfront unions.
"The government will make' par
ticular efforts to apprehend violators
of the injunction from now on," said
Mr. Humphreys. The effect of the
order Just made was said to make
penalties for violence In conneecllon
with the strike heavier In that con
tempt, charges would be brought
against offenders.
Liquor Plot Charged.
Judge Wolverton announced that
his mind was made up before Mr.
Humphreys had concluded his argu
ment and said the court was con
vinced that the injunction should be
continued. Mr. U'llen protested
against the finding, but to no pur
pose. Arguments yesterday were enliv
ened by the charge made In affi
davits that Fred F. Smith, port su
perintendent for the shipping hoard,
had sought to have K. W. Turpln. a
striking engineer, accept the post of
chief engineer on the West Nlvaria.
with the understanding that the two
would go partners In Importing il
licit whisky, eaay money being prom
ised Turpln if he would take the Job,
he alleged.
Smith was said to have talked thia
project over with Turpln at the lat
ter's home and an affidavit by Mrs.
lurpln to the same effect was filed,
nnllylnc In Alleged.
The strikers also filed affidavits
alleging the department of Justice
agents Intimidated anil bullied th
men and their wives In seeking to get
them to go buck to work. Thl was
