Selected Brockway route for
Eoseburg-Coos Bay highway.
New record established when
21 bids were received for one
grading job on Corvallis-New-port
highway.
General tone of all bids much,
lower than of recent months,
and bond bids better than a
month ago.
More bids to be awarded at 10
o'clock this morning.
Two factors favorable to the Ore
gon road programme developed at
yesterday's session of the state. high
way commission. One was the
stronger market for the road bonds
and the other was the lower bids
of contractors. The bids "made for
a block .of $2,000,000 of bonds were
considerably better than the tenders
made for a block last month.
John E. Price and E. H. Rollins
ft Sons received the award of $2,000.
000 bonds for a premium of $2940.
The interest, fixed by the bidder,
was hVi per cent. This Is especially
encouraging to counties which have
undigested road securities bearing
S and 6 per cent. The bond market
was bad a month ago, but judging
from the bids yesterday, counties
should be able to sell their holdings
and apply the cash where It is in
tended, on the roads, for co-operation
with the state.
Contractors Prices Slump.
Without warning came the slump
in the bids of contractors. It was
not an isolated instance, but man
after man bid low. Many were far
below the estimates. The explana
tion is that labor is now easier and
more efficient; materials are being
supplied promptly; railroads are
making deliveries without delays,
and the prices for materials are
dropping somewhat. All told, it is
said that the efficiency of labor and
the prompt delivery of materials and
the other factors represents about
30 per cent with a contractor.
Under the surface, the big con
tention at yesterday's meeting was
the paving Job on the Shedd-Halsey
section of the Pacific highway, 7.8
miles in Linn county. The grade is
such that a concrete pavement can
be laid without further fixing, but
if an asphaltic pavement is used, sla
crushed rock base will have to be
provided. A. V. Kern bid $237,131
for asphaltic pavement and Guy Pyle
bid $225,720 for concrete. While the
Kern bid Is the lowest, it does not
take Into account a rock base. In
the absence of John B. Teon, his
colleagues, R. A. Booth, chairman;
and W. B. Barratt, commissioner,
preferred to delay action and both
bids were referred to Herbert Nunn,
highway engineer, pending the re
turn of Mr. Yeon.
21 Bid on Job. i
When Commissioner Teon returns
there will be half a dozen matters to
decide, such as road work In Baker,
Union and Grant counties.
In the past there has been lively
bidding on particular jobs, but yes
terday the grading of ten miles on
the Chitwood-Toledo section of the
gCorvallis - Newport highway estab
lished a new highwater mark. Twenty-one
contractors bid on this work.
There were so many bids to compare
and analyze that the commission an
nounced that awards would have to
go over until this morning at 10
o'clock. There are a number of other
contracts to be awarded at the same
hour. So many bids were received
yesterday that all forenoon and a
part of the afternoon were devoted
to opening and reading them.
No new projects were ordered at
yesterday's session, although a num
ber of delegations were heard and
their wants noted in the record.
Grant county made a proposal for
the state to gravel one unit of the
John Day highway while the county
graveled another on a yard-for-yard
basis. A swarm of telegrams were
received wanting the La Grande
Perry road fixed this year and Baker
county wanted a contract let for a
connection between Richland and the
Baker-Middle Bridge section.

contents, promised Collier, who also
asserted that he was prepared to show
that the sprinkled blood on the over
coat came from human arteries.
Yesterday's session opened with
UNIQUE MURDER TRIAL AND
Klecker still on the . witness stand.
The state attempted to repair some of
the damage inflicted by the broad
sides of the defense the night before.
Klecker produced a brown and a
brown and a green overcoat, which
he said were the only ones he had
worn in years.
The prosecution asked the witness
If he ever possessed a white hat. The
defense had promised to show that a
mysterious stranger seen not many
blocks from the murder scene shortly
after the slaying had worn a white
hat or had ' something white about
his head. Mrs. Agee, according to po
lice witnesses, had said that an un-
Known intruder in tne nouse wore
sumeiiiing wnnc &oou tne neaa.
Klecker said that he had owned a
white hat, worn when he was in the
navy, but, he explained, it was given
to his wife's brother in Los Angeles
in 1919.
Asked what suit he was wearing
the night of the murder, Klecker re
plied that he was wearing the same
one he had on in the courtroom,
minus vest.
Mviiie Sheet In Evidence.
Identification of the sheet music,
which the defense claimed was found
in one of the pockets of the blood
spatxered overcoat, was not made pos
itive, ' but Klecker said that be
thought it was the same that he had
given Mrs. Agee to UBe In practice. He
denied that he had ever taken it from
the Agee home.
"Can you produce anyone who conld
testify as to your whereabouts on the
night of June 10 until daybreak?" de
manded Collier of the witness.
No one but the motorman on the
JI0"'. h"" ,Le cker'
and I am not sure he would remem-
ber- me.
"Can you produce anyone " began
Collier again', when Judge Morrow in
terrupted to say: "Mr. Collier, the
witness does not need to 'produce'
anyone."
Clashes Are Frequent.
"Tour honor, I take exception to
and cite the remarks of the, court as
prejudicial," responded the ; attorney,
whose clashes with, the jurist have
been frequent.
Judge Morrow demanded of Collier
when court opened to state whether
or not he expected to connect up the
overcoat he had shown Klecker with
the case. Collier replied that he cer
tainly intended' to do so.
Mrs. Nellie Young, whose fainting
spell as she was called to the witness
stand the night before furnished the
first excitement, was able to testify
yesterday. She was a neighbor of
the Agees, a friend of Mrs. Asree and
had taken care of the Agee children
on numerous occasions.
She knew nothing bad about the
defendant or at least testified to
n-.hing. though given ample oppor
tunity to do so through leading
questions by Deputy Prosecutor
rierce.
Invitation Is Declined.
She did testify that on one occasion
Mrs. Agee endeavored to persuade
her to accompany another man on
an automobile trip with Klecker. She
said she refused and did not' think
Mri Agee went, though asserted she
believed Mrs. Agee met Klecker in
the city that day. She testified that
on June 8, about 24 hours before the
murder, Mrs. Agee met Klecker.
Remark Thonnht Joke.
The prosecutor elicited the infor
mation mat as Airs, xoung and Mrs
Agee were walking along a down
town street an automobile drew . up
to the curb alongside. Mrs. Young
denied that either she or Mrs. Agee
signaled the driver or encouraged
him in any way, but testified that
she recalled that Mrs. Agee had
commented a moment later, "I believe
we could go riding with those fellows
If we wanted to.
Mrs. Toung said that Mrs. Agee
always said she married Agee to
please her folks.
"She said it before er .husband and
we always took it as a sort of josh,'
went on the witness.
The witness also told of going to
a aance witu Mrs. Aeree and a Mrs
Nelson in the Swiss halL where Mrs.
Agee danced several times with
iviecKer.
In Cross-examination of Mrs. Young.
(oiiier probed intj the incident in
wl.ich the two men in an automo
bile attempted to pick up a couple
ot passengers. - Mrs. Young affirmed
former statement that the men
ere not encouraged.
Did either of you want to tor
emanded Collier.
We didn't seem to," answered the
witness.
John Goltz, police Inspector, was
called by the state to testify con
cerning the amount of Hght thrown
into the bedroom of the Agee home
by the arc light on a nearby corner.
Judge Morrow refused to permit his
conclusions to go into evidence, sus
taining the objection of the defense
to such testimony.
Goltz was the last witness offered
by the prosecution, and when he was
not permitted to testify, Hammersly
announced that the state rested its
case. .
Engineer -Is Witness.
George S. Edmonstone. clyil en
gineer who drafted the sketches used
by prosecution and defense depicting
the arrangement of roams in the
Agee home and the map of the. Ports
mouth district In which the murder
occurred, was the first witness to be
called by the defense.
Collier laid much stress on the lo
cation of a clump of bushes -on Wall
street near Lombard street, with ref
erence to car lines and the Agee
home. Though nothing was testified
concerning the same, the inference
drawn was that this was the spot
where Collier would endeavor by di
rect testimony to prove that the

were found.
The spot was 2740 feet from the
Agee home by air line and 3115feet
by streets.
In cross-examination of Edmon
stone, Hammersly elicited the Infor
mation that the most direct route
from the Agee home to the Lombard
streetcar line was along Fiske street
and only 1500 feet distant.

INCENTIVE TO PEACE
Dr. Ford -A. Carpenter Pays
Portland Visit.
TESTS U EAST RELATED
Sinking- of Battleships Declared to
Be Warning of Possibility or
New Line of Defense.
"Tfie recent bombing experiments
on battleships off the Atlantic coast
did more to advance peace than all
the Paris peace conferences, Hague
tribunals and leagues of nations ever
known."
This was the statement of Dr. Ford
A. Carpenter, consulting meteorologist
for the air service of the war depart-,
ment and widely known lecturer on
climatology.
Dr. Carpenter Is visiting at the
home of Henry W. Fries, whom he
knew when he was a "buck" private
in the signal corps and acted as
weather forecaster for Portland in
1888. He. recently participated in the
bombing tests.
Bombs Declared Powerful. -
"One of the smaller bombs dropped
into the sea two miles from one of
the smaller vessels or the fleet so
damaged that ship tnat it had to be
towed into port," said Dr. Carpenter.
"Imagine the damage that can be
done by one of the 1900-pound bombs
dropped from an aeroplane at a high
altitude. If it did not put the great
est super-dreadnoughts in existence
out of commission as I believe, it
surely would it would obliterate the
crew and render the ship worthless."
Dr. Carpenter is a great admirer of
President Harding and hp believeB
that the chief executive has done more
in four months in office to advance
the cause of peace than has ever been
done by any president.
Challenge Is Issued.
Dr. Carpenter issued a challenge to
the average army officer who declares
that the "strong right arm of the serv
ice will ever be the infantry." He
expressed his belief in the air service
and contended that the strengthening
of this branch would be the salvation
of the army and the navy in any war.1
It is a long jump from a private
second class in the signal corps in
1888 to."Who Who in America" and
a half-page wrlteup therein, but that
Is the history of Dr. Carpenter. He
came to Portland as assistant to Cor
poral E. J.- Glass in the army signal
corps office which then ga,ve out the
weatner -reports when he was a boy
of 20 summers. He remained here
two years and theiy was transferred.
nr. carpenter la Author.
Dr. Carpenter is also head of the de
partment of meteorology for the State
university at. Los Angeles and is the
author of a great many books on cli
matology and meteorology.
"The airplane has ceased to be an
Instrument of entertainment and ex
hibition it is a commercial imple
ment," said Dr. Carpenter. "It is the
new life in the commercial world and
is the safety of this country if prop
erly developed in time of war. It is
the dove of peace for which pacifists
have been searching. It will bring
peace because no nation can afford to
go to war against another that has
completely prepared itself for an air
Offensive."
Dr. Carpenter will remain here
few days visiting old friends and then
will return to his home in Los An
