ALLIES AGREE ON SILESIA (Continued From F1r-t Page.) Mr. Lloyd George said he would put to the council two questions: First, whether the time had arrived for the allies to offer to' arbitrate second, to what extent were the allies Dound to be neutral and where should the line be drawn on the matter of supplying the combatants with fight ing materials? Mr, Harvey Interested. These questions are to be taken under advisement at a later session, when the Russian problem also will be discussed. ' The American ambassador, Mr. Harvey, showed much interest In Mr. Lloyd George's questions, particularly the second, which involved the trad ing rights or neutrals. Major-Gen eral Henry T. Allen, with the consent of both the state and war depart ments, came from Coblenz at the re quest of the ambassador, so that he might be on hand to supply him with information when military questions were discussed, including penalties ana the subject of upper Silesia General Allen in n member nf the Rhineland high commission under the state department and commander of the American (forces of occupation under the war department, and is regarded as exceptionally well In formed about upper Silesia. ' British Position Stated. -At the opening of the session Mr. Lloyd George took occasion to declare the position of the British govern ment upon what he called the men acing problem to the peace of Europe. Silesia, he said, had belonged to the German race for 700 years a part of TWO YOUNG WOMEN, ONE OF THEM A BRIDE, WHO SURVIVED SHIPWRECK.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Sprlngatead were saved. that period to Austria, but for 177 years to Prussia, and the British gov ernment would not consent to any division not based equitably upon the votes of the Poles and the Germans in the disputed region. The British prime minister said in substance that the British govern ment keenly sympathized with the French desire for safety, knowing that France had suffered in two wars. That security, however, he declared, ought to rest upon the moderation with which the victors used their power and upon equity in apportion ing Silesia. The British empire, the prime minister declared, would never be dragged into another war caused by oppressive use of superior force or the abuse of justice in a time of triumph. . All Asperity Removed. With today's meeting of the allied supreme council here to consider the upper Silesian question, all asperity between the French and British dele gations over the Silesian boundary apparently had disappeared. Both sides were , agreed that the unity of the allied powers cannot be wrecked over a matter so relatively unimpor tant. Mr. Lloyd George, the British prime minister, la quoted as having re marked that the mere presence of the American ambassador. Colonel George Harvey, had a stabilizing ef fect, it being felt that he brought with him a calm outside view that tended to soften the sharpness of the controversy. JDMIIUL PARKS ON WAY XAVAIi SHORE ESTABLISH MENTS TO BE INSPECTED. Considerable Interest Is Created In Trip Because of Rumors of Sandpoim. Visit. THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, D. C. Aug. 9. Rear-Admiral Charles S. Parks, chief of the bureau of yards and docks, navy de partment, left tonight for the Pacific coast to inspect the present naval shore establishments. When it be came known here today that Admiral Parks was going west there was con siderable interest in the trip because of rumors that he was to inspect the proposed Pacific coast naval bases at Sandpotnt and Ediz Hook, Wash.; Alameda and San Pedro, CaL Admiral -Parks is a member of the general board of the navy, which re ported in favor of these new proj ects, all of which were defeated in the struggle over the naval appropri ation bill in the present session of congress. There seemed to be some difference of opinion at the navy de partment as to Admiral Parks' orders for his western trip. The admiral himself said he did not expect to go further than to look over present naval establishments on the California coast, but Assistant Secretary Roost velt, under whose instructions Ad mlral Parks is traveling, said that Parks probably would go north to Tongue Point and Bremerton and that he might make another examination of the new naval projects.

Practically all hope for the safety of passengers on the steamer Alaska who had not been reported among the survivors was given up yesterday by sorrowing friends nd relatives in. this city.

Mexican Xewspapers Say Officer Who Shot Brigadier Was Aided by 4 Friends. . j MEXICO CITT, Aug. 9. (By the Associated Press.) General Jacinto Trevino calmly admits, according to Excelsior today, that It was the de fense of bis military honor which last night caused him to shoot and kill General Jose Alessio Robles. General Trevino, who was held by the police after his voluntary sur render, declared, according to Excel- ior, that General Robles, holding tne rank of general of a brigade, publicly criticized his superior. General Trevino is general or a ivision- He, according to the news paper, charged that in addition Gen eral Robles had asserted that he was coward, having refused to fight a uel. Enmity between the C o was of long standing. At a banquet several months ago. General Robles In an address assailed General Trevino as "a traitor to the ideals of Chaultepec," the Excelsior said. A. violent verbal clash followed, in which General Robles challenged his dversary to a duel, which the latter failed to accept. Differences between them apparently were settled until General Robies was quoted by El Universal as doubting General Tre vino's courage. Newspaper accounts of the tragedy today agreed that General Robles was driving in an automobile when an other machine containing General Trevino and four companions drove up. A fusillade of shots followed, killing General Robles, who was found with his hands on tne steering wheel. General Trevino then drove to his home, according to these accounts. arranged his personal affairs, and delivered himself to the authorities.

Mahoney was taken from the county jail to Tennant's office at 11 o'clock in the morning and remaine closeted with the officials until al most 1 o'clock. Immediately after Mahoney had been sent back to his cell detectives took Mrs. Nora Ma honey, Mahoney s mother, and Mra Dolores Johnson, his sister, to po lice headquarters, where they were questioned for two hours. Cell Left Reluctantly. Mahoney at first refused to leave his cell when he was told that de tectives were waiting to take him to the police station. He mumbled that he wanted to see his lawyer. Lee Johnston, but was finally persuaded to accompany the. detectives without resistance. When he entered Tennant's office his face showed the effects of the strain under which he has been ever since' his wife's body was found. During the interview Mahoney sat slumped up in a chair, facing his three inquisitors. In spite of his nervousness his replies to questions were civil and courteous and couched in phrases that Indicated a fair de gree of education. Mahoney s attorney, L.ee Johnston, was at headquarters during the day but did not ask to see the prisoner. "The fact that they found a body not the body means nothing," said Johnston. "This must be threshed out at the trial" He will probably not be tried be fore September, when the Jury sea son opens, according to Prosecutor Douglas.

PASSPORT CLEW TO BRUM 0 SOUGHT Dentist, Some Believe, Has Left Country. RECORDS TO BE PROBED Thorough Search Will Be Made at Capital When Photograph of Man Is Received. THE OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, D. C. Aug. 9. (Special.) On the theory that the trail by which Dr. R. M. Brumfield, Roseburg, Or., dentist, made his escape after the Russell . automobile murder a few weeks ago leads through Washington, all of the records of the federal pass port bureau here will be carefully searched and scrutinized Just as soon as a photograph of the missing den tist, together with his personal de scription, is received. George A. Neuner Jr., district at torney at Roseburg. appears to be convinced that Dr. Brumfield has es caped across the ocean and called on Senator McNary to ascertain if passport had been obtained here. It has been found that no passport had been issued to anyone of the name of "Brumfield," but the department did not say that no passport had been issued to the -miesing dentist It was reasoned that under such cir cumstances Brumfld -would not have taken out a passport in his own name, but for the document to be worth while it would have been necessary for him to give his correct descrip tion and a true photograph of himself, otherwise he would have been held up at the port of embarkation. It has been euggested that the au tomobile tragedy having evidently been premeditated Brumfield might have obtained his passport some time before the fatal night, which will require the passport .division to go back further than has been contem plated by any search of the records so far made. - RUMORS 'BCXK,' SAYS SHERIFF Friends Declared to Be Assisting Dr. Brumfield. ROSEBURG, Or., Aug. 9. (Special.) The report that Russell Is etill alive and talked with Charles Potts, former Roseburg resident, at Paisley, was characterized by Sheriff Starmer to day as "pure bunk." "Dr. Brumfield has a large number Volume, of Preference for the Proof Positive of Its Greater The Cadillac outsells, by a volume nearly one-third greater, all other cars at or above its own price. This advertisement might well stop short with this statement of fact, for it contains within itself final and over whelrning evidence of greater Cadillac value. Sales are not especially significant when price is the chief incentive but when quality is the test, "as in the case of the Cadillac, volume of preference is valid and positive proof of superiority. It is proof of superiority because those who buy the Cadillac are seeking, first and foremost, the very best car they can acquire, regardless of price. They represent, in every community, men and women with whom comfort Phaeton -Victoria -Sedan - A c The V v i v i v iv i v i v i r i v ri1 1 v v iv o? friends," the sheriff said, "who are trying to shield him, and they are constantly putting out fake reports and rumors to confuse the officers. If the officers can be made to look for two .men instead of one our chances of catching the fugitive are cut in half. These reports are sent cut for the purpose of giving Brum field an open avenue of escape and for -hindering and confusing the of ficers.

Deputy Sheriff Hopkins and Joe Murphy have not yet returned to Roseburg. They made a side trip on their way to investigate a report that a car answering the description of the machine supposedly driven by the ' fugitive had been seen near Diamond of the World and certainty of performance is the one and only consideration. This preference of men and women who would gladly pay more if they could acquire more than the Cadillac gives them, has constituted it the only high grade car in the world which has ever attained a similarly large market. The Cadillac has attracted to itself the discriminating and the well-to-do, in every community; and the total, as we have said, outnumbers, by almost one third, the combined sales of all cars at or above the Cadillac price.
