TIIE MORNING OREGON! AN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 13, 1921 SUSPECT IS GRILLED ON PRIEST MURDER Baker Maintains He Knows Nothing of Crime. SOLUTION IS HELD NEAR District Attorney's Office Declares Progress Is Being Made Let ter to Woman Located. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12. Will iam Hightower, Itinerant baker, scoutly resisted today all efforts of the police to connect him with the ir.urder of Rev. Patrick Heslin, 'Col ma priest, and after two days' ques tioning still maintained he had no knowledge of the crime. He was taken into custody after he had led a group of policemen and newspaper men to the priest's grave on the sea shore. Captain of Detectives Matheson, Assistant District Attorney Golden of an Francisco and District Attorney Swart of San Mateo county, said to night that they were "nearer a solu tion of the crime than ever before." 'Things are coming to a head," Swart said. Hightower Remains Calm. Hightower was confronted by the police with Information from widely different sources, tending, they said, to show he had knowledge of the priest's death, but Hightower re mained calm and undisturbed. He showed emotion only once, the police said. This was when handed a long-delayed telegram which told of his wife's death In Stillwater, Okla. The inquiry today developed con flict of Hightower's story of the use he made of a small automobile rented from a local garage the night the priest disappeared in company with a stranger to answer a "sick call." Auto Renting Is Related. Hightower said he took the ma chine from the garage about 4 o'clock, went to San Jose with Dorr'.s Shirley, a waitress, with whom he said he was living et the time, and returned to San Francisco at 10 o'clock, but, finding no one in the garage, left the machine outside. Against this story was the testi mony of a garage employe that Hightower did not leave the garage until 6 o'clock and the. police were bending every effort to trace the movement of the car between that time and 9 o'clock, the hour the priest disappeared in an automobile known to have been of the same make. Don-is Shirley Not Located. The police have been unable to lo cate Dorris Shirley and several clews to the present location of Dolly Mason, the woman from whom High tower said he received first knowl edge of the grave's location, have proved worthless. A letter mailed Wednesday by Hightower to Dolly Mason was re covered today from the San Fran cisco postoftice and read with Hlgh . tower's consent. It tended to bear out, it was said, his statement that an unknown man 'had betrayed to Dolly Mason ' the clews on . which Hightower worked in locating the grave. "I believe there is something In what that drunk told you," the letter said. "I am beginning to think it might have something to do with the priest. . . . See me at once, there is a reward offered." The police said, however, this let ter might be part of a plan laid by Hightower to substantiate a story he had devised when he determined to collect the reward of $8000 offered from various sources for recovery of Rev. Heslin.. Letters Found Similar. Similarities of phrasing and spell ing between a letter known to have been written by Hightower and an anonymous typewritten letter ; de manding a reward for the return of the priest were pointed out today by a police handwriting expert. . "Misspelling of two different words In both letters is identical." the ex ptsrt said, "and phrasing and-punctu ation in the two is the same." High tower has not been able to account to the satisfaction of the police for a. contrivance they described as an "infernal machine" found in a search of his room, when a rifle and a strip of blood-soaked burlap also were brought to light. The machine was arranged to fire simultaneously ten shells loaded with buckshot, and Hightower admitted he had taken this with him on a pre liminary visit to the place where the grave was found, but did not indicate for what purpose. The San Francisco angles of the case have been about exhausted. Dis trict Attorney Swart declared to night, and it is proposed to take Hightower to San Mateo county to morrow. The inquiry would be continued there, he said. ' Similarity of string found, in High- towers room and that used to bind together some boards near the grave was noted at the inquiry today. Swart said, and evidence was brought to enow that Hightower often had vis ited the cliffs near the site of the grave. The two small sons of Police man Dolan had seen Hightower there fcwart declared. SILESIA ACTION IS TAKEN (Continued From Flrt Pare.) preme council to remain quiet pend- In'g settlement of the issue. Today's decision came as the con elusion of five days of earnest dis cussion, which began with an agree ment in principle between Mr. Lloyd George and M. Briand on what was called a "compromise line. The pre miers fell aipart, however, on the finding by the experts that the in dustrial triangle in Upper Silesia could not be divided as a working economic unit ajiy more than could the Pittsburg district. Disagreement la Suspected. The decision to submit the question f the boundary to the council of the league of nations means in effect that the governments of Great Brit ain, France, Italy and Japan, being -unable to agree as to the boundary, now submit the question to the coun cil of the league of nations, which consists of representatives of the four countries, in addition to repre sentatives of Brazil. Belgium, China and Spain. The eight members of the league council are requested to re port back their findings to the four members of the supreme council for final judgment. Intimations had been flying about as the disagreement over the situa tion became more evident that Presi dent Harding would be asked to de cide upon the boundary line, not of ficially as president, but unofficially as a private person, he to be provided with every facility for his representa tives thoroughly to examine into the question and the powers to agree In advance to accept his opinion as final. Friends of the league of nations ex pressed delight tonight over the ref erence of what is deemed the most difficult and dangerous question. In European politics to the league of na tions a fortnight before the assembly of the league meets in Geneva and at the three principal powers of Europe, thus recognizing the high authority of the league. SeaMiona to End Today. The last session of the supreme council will be held tomorrow morn ing. It is expected to last a few hours. The Inter-allied military commis sion, which Is sitting at Versailles un der the chairmanship of Marshal Foch, reported today to the supreme coun cil that much still remains to be done as regards the disarmament of Ger many, and that control must be con tinued. The decision to refer the upper Sl- lesian boundary to the council of the league of nations was reached today after it had become evident to Mr. WHAT CONGRESS DID AS ITS DAY'S WORK. Senate. ' Not in session today. House. Debated bill appropriating money for United States ship ping board. Ways and means committee increased exemptions from in come tax for married persons from $2000 to $2500. Representative Herrick, re publican, Oklahoma, introduced bill to prevent newspapers from conducting beauty contests. Lloyd George and M. Briand that It was impossible to reach a compromise between the British and French view points. The suggestion to refer the matter was made by Mr. Lloyd George at a meeting at the Hotel Crillon this morning and M. Briand immediately concurred. M. Briand had just re turned from a meeting of the cabinet council under the presidency of Pres ident Millerand at the Elysee palace, at which the ministers were unani mous in indorsing the position of the French delegation on the upper Sile sian question. Meeting Is Called. A meeting of the supreme council was Immediately, summoned. Premier Briand said fundamental difficulties had arisen between the British and French, and it had been decided to re fer the whole question to the league council for urgent action. Mr. Lloyd George asserted that he was in full accord with the proposal and that he had agreed last night with the Italian delegation that this was the proper course. "This is not a disagreement between Great Britain and Trance," said Mr. Lloyd George. "The- Italian experts take the same view as ours and Japan concurs. This is no reflection on the French government and its experts, and it is important to say the. British are not alone in pressing their single view on France. The difference is due not to the problem Itself but to the excited state of public opinion. and therefore we have the right to seek some other tribunal, although a majority of the council takes one view and France is alone in taking an other." Mr. Lloyd George declared it will be not for the supreme council to say how the league should handle the question, but that the whole council should refer the matter and not a single power. Settlement Hoped For. "We have made concessions In the hope of a settlement," Mr. Lloyd George continued, but the league, of course, cannot be bound by these. They must review the whole matter from top to bottom and we shall ac cept the decision without dmur. The league must decide whether it will constitute an international tribunal or refer the matter to a court of jurists of international repute. They also must consider the local situa tion in Silesia, and if upon examina tion they find it necessary to strengthen the allied forces there. Great Britain will make her contri butions upon the same scale as the other powers." M. Briand, on behalf of the French government, then asserted that France also would accept the decision of the league council, without excep tion. Likewise, the Italian premier approved the plan. He said Italy was ready to send reinforcements pending the decision of the league. - Jiaron Hayashi, of the Japanese delegation, declared that he agreed with the oth ers that reference of the questions to the league council was the correct thing to do. Harvey Approves Plan. Ambassador Harvey, replying to a question by M. Briand as to what view of the situation Mr. Harvey took for the United States, replied: "The president of the United States has felt from the beginning that the question was one of distinctly Euro pean concern. It will be with a sense of relief, therefore, that he will hear of a confirmation of this view- by the supreme council in referring the question to a body with which the United States is not associated. "Consequently, as the representative of the president of the United States, I shall retrain from participation." After the expression of the various viewpoints the council decided to re quest Jurists immediately to frame the official reference of the Silesian question to the council of the league of nations. Mr. Lloyd George then rose and bade farewell to the council. M. Briand, advancing, took the Brit ish premier's hand and said: "I am glad the accord has been maintained. Mr. Lloyd George, smiling, replied that he was delighted to echo the sen timents of M. Briand. French Cabinet Meets. The French cabinet during the aft ernoon went into session again and lave unanimous approval to the ac tion of M. Briand in agreeing to place the Silesian question before the coun cil of the league of nations. This evening the French premier, in his ca pacity of president of the supreme council, sent to V iscount Ishii, prcsi dent of the league council, the request that that body deal with the dellmita tion of the German-Polish frontier.

TAXATION TO BE ISSUE Leaders In House Forecast Long-Drawn-Out Fight Over Methods of raying War Debt. BY MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright by the New Tork Evening Post, Inc. Published by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON. D. C, Aug. 12. (Special.) From the beginning of next week until the time congress takes a recess will be a field day for the democrats In the lower house. The republican tax bill probably will be introduced next Monday and from then on the entire time of congress until it adjourns will be given ' to debating that measure. The democrats will be much "on the Job." They regard this as their opportunity. They believe that the principal political Issue in this coun try between the two parties for ten or 20 years, stated In the broadest terms, will be how to pay the war debts. This broad subject Includes, of course, not only taxation, but also everything of a fiscal nature that the government does. The democrats re call that for more than 15 years after the civil war the principal po litical contests In the country hung round this issue. Taxation to Be Isane. Indeed, If the free silver contro versy is included the period was 30 years. The democrats count con fidently on history repeating itself and they propose to take every ad vantage of the situation. The demo crats propose to attempt to show that the republicans are paying the war debt by taxing the classes which include most of the consumers, and which do not include the very rich. The ramifications of this issue will include the republican attitude on the tariff and will also include an attack by the democrats on the federal reserve board's management of the banking affairs of the coun try. This latter attack has, in fact. already begun. The federal reserve board has been pursuing a policy of deflation, which, among other effects, has the indirect result of tending to restore the dollar to somewhere near the purchasing power It had before the war. Such a policy, stated in the broadest sense, favors those classes of the community whose property is in the shape of fixed interest-bearing securities, like the owners of liberty bonds, railroad bonds, life, insurance policies and the like. Creditors Declared Favored. The democrats will attempt to show that the republicans are favoring creditor classes of the country as against the debtor classes. It prob ably will turn out that the issues arising out of this policy will have a strong analogy to the greenback issue, the resumption of special pay ments issue and the free silver issue, which determined the political plat forms in most of the elections - for almost a generation following the civil war. The democratic leaders have their eyes not merely on the congressional elections of next year, but on the next presidential election and on all elections for a decade to come. About the future the democrats show In creasing confidence. They have pulled the affairs of their national committee into better shape and are doing aggressive work. They have raised money and have come more nearly to paying off their debts than the republican national committee has. Real Party Polities Ahead. The row arising out of the effort made last spring to unseat Chairman George White is over and apparently has left no scars. The fight was largely a contest for leadership and for dominance in the national com mittee between friends of Governor Cox on the one hand and William J. McAdoo on the other. That this kind of personal contest for leadership does not help' any is now realized by the more serious democratic leaders, and they are taking steps toward aggressive party management and organization, not In the interest of any potential candidate for the presi dency but in the interest of the party as a whole. From now on we are likely to see some real party politics. WORLD CABINET WANTED Toklo Professor Favors Japanese Annexation to United States. HONOLULU. T. H.. Aug. 12. (Spe cial.) Professor Y. Sakon of Aoyama Gakuin, a Christian institution in Tokio, who recently passed through here on his way to the mainland be lieves not only in the annexation of Japan to the United States, but in the establishment of an international cabinet with headquarters in Jeru salem to rule over the world re gardless of nations or races. "One would think that Japan would be lost by annexation to United States," he said, "but I believe the Japanese people through ani.exation would eventually come to own the United States and that they would gain by It.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cross Declares Mary Ii. Crist Hypnotized Mate Into Desertion. LEXINGTON, Ky Aug. 12. (Spe cial.) William E. Cross of Lexington was "hypnotized" by Mary L. Crist, abandoned his wife, changed from a "kind and loving" husband to a "cruel and negligent" mate, and at present is at Louisville, so completely under the woman's "influence" that, he is in a helpless condition mentally and acts as a child of "5 years," according to allegations made in a $10,000 aliena tion of affections suit filed in the circuit court today by Mrs. Elizabeth Hueiett Cross, the wife.

It was said further that the defendant by "misrepresentation' of the plaintiff and "DOisonous ad vice and other inducements" poisoned her husband s mind against the plain tiff, alienated his affections and caused him to become a cruej and negligent husband, when, prior to the date of the wrongful and malicious acts of the defendant, he had been a kind and loving husband. BLAME FOR WRECK LAID Loss of Canadian Exporter Is As cribed to Xegligence. VANCOUVER, B. C. Aug. 12. (Spe cial.) Startling evidence was given at the inquiry here today concerning the sinking of the Canadian govern ment steamer Canadian Exporter, which stranded on Willapa bar nearly two weeks ago. Captain Bradley, master of the ill- fated boat, under oath said he had been complaining to the government for months about the compasses on the steamer, and that just before sail ing on his last voyage had written the marine superintendent of the ship a strong letter in which he declared that if certain improvements were net made it was almost inevitable that something would happen. The captain admitted that the acci dent might have been caused by bad steering, some unknown tideset or deviations of the compass, and he was inclined to think the latter re sponsible.

SAVINGS OF POOR TAKEN Hearing Begun la Xew York Court Crowded by Men, and Women "Who Tell Pitiful Stories. NEW YORK. Aug. 7. (Special.) A searching John Doe inquiry into the operations of real estate sharks said to have reaped almost $3,000,000 from the city's poor through the old fres lot" scheme and other fraudu lent methods was tegun by Magis trate Mancuso In municipal term court. After be had heard the testi mony of a veteran of the world, war and a soldier's widow, who charged that they had been swlnaiea oy one of 25 alleged bogus "home builders," the magistrate said: "What has appeared In this Inves tigation so far certainly shows amaz ing conditions. After hearing how this soldier and this widow nave on fleeced, I cannot understand how these things were tolerated. A thor ough inauiry Bhould be made by the district attorney's office as soon as possible to bring all the complainants into court so that wo may get at these thieves." The little courtroom was crowded with men and women of small means prepared to tell how plausible sales men and women - had tied up their savings, insurance or pensions. The stories of the witnesses resulted in an order that Information be drawn against four men said to be connected with the Stirling Home Buuaers. iu Vesey street, of which Albert Meister was said to be president. The four men were H. C. Russell, A. Goodian, P. McTighe and Albert J. Doyle. Witnesses who admittea tnai iney knew nothing of business testified that agents of the Stirling Home Builders induced them to part with hard-earned sums upon representa tions that they were primarily inter ested in what was called the "Stirling Homes." The unsophisticated were shown an attractive catalogue of the Internation Mill & Timber company of Bay City, Mich., a legitimate con cern, whose trade slogan is "Sterling Homes," it was said. The difference in the spelling in variably wen, unnoticed.- The wit nesses testified that they looked over the pictures, plans and specifications of various types of suburban homes as the suave salesman talked. As a special Inducement the salesman in variably announced that his company had a number of lots which would be offered free upon payment of the recording, fees, etc., to persons order ing homes, according to the testi mony. A.. E. Holmes of the . Inter nation Mill & Timber company identi fied the catalogues marked as those of his company. Women Got Prospects' Confidence. It was brought out that the' meth ods sometimes varied. Several of the alleged fraudulent companies em ployed bright young women laminar with languages spoken in the con gested districts, who would explain that they represented a big real estate company selling lots in New Jersey. So many lots, they would explain, were given away free, the only possible expense involved being the recording fees, which sometimes amounted to $50 or so. They would then take the name of the willing prospect and depart. A week later a salesman following up the visit of the woman would come as the bearer of glad tidings. He would announce that a drawing of the free lots had been held and that it gave him great pleasure to an nounce that one of the lots had been won by his "prospect," who would be invited to look at it. He would col lect as much as he could toward the fees and then put over the "clincher." The victim would be shown that the free lot on New Jersey meadow land was not attractive as two others on the road, where great Industries soon would rise. These lots might be had at $1000, a small payment down, the balance in installments. It was pointed out that these lots sold for $1000 probably were worth only $100. Evidence was adduced at the hear ing involving the Irving Home Build ers, of which Samuel Germaine is president.' George Baack, who said that he was wounded at Chateau Thierry, told Magistrate Mancuso that he had paid $300 to representatives of the Irving company as part payment on the construction of a house which was to cost in the neighborhood of $4000. He said his understanding was that when $300 had been paid down, building operations were to com mence. Subsequently he was told by an officer of the company, he said, that building operations could not start until $900. the full purchase price, had been paid. The $300, Baack said, represented his saving from his soldier's pay and his $60 bonus. Mrs. Mary Corcoran of Brooklyn told the court that she had paid $150 on a similar deal. She explained that her husband had been killed in France and that her only Income was de rived from his insurance. ,$57.50 a month and a widow s pension of $25 a month. Mrs. Corcoran bought two lots which were said to be worth much less than she contracted to pay. " 'Now, little woman, I'll treat you just as I would my own sister, the salesman said when he took all the money I had in the house, leaving me with $2 for expenses," she said. The lots of the Irving company. Magistrate Mancuso was told, were in Bergenfield. N. J., and those of the Stirling company In Plainfield, N. J. Others of the firms under investiga tion held lots on Long Island. The examination of witnesses was conducted by Assistant District At torney James J. Wilson and Theodore L. Waugh. Loring M. Black repre sented the victims of the alleged frauds. It was said at the hearing that outstanding accounts of more than $1,000,000 appeared on the books of one concern, due from persons upon whom "free lots," and then pur chasable lots, were unloaded. This company, it was said, at one time employed more than 25 salesmen and scores of girls and runners. Most of these were dropped about two months ago, when an afternoon newspaper, which discovered the alleged frauds, directed the first attacks against the company. "There are about 25 or these com panies." Mr. Black said? "and they were rigged up for a harvest among the poor foreign born this summer. The revival of the old swindling schemes are a direct result of the housing situation. Persons living in hot, expensive city tenements Jump at the chance to live in the country.
