nothing in his outward appearance
which would indicate it in the least.
"It's a fine thing to know that my I
wife and boys are waiting: for me
and have every confidence in me af
ter all these things which have been
published," he asserted, as a tanned
but steady hand brushed away the
faint trace of a tear from his eyes.
During: the afternoon Dr. Brum
fleld penned a two-page letter to his
wife, which jailors mailed for him
after it had been read by Sheriff
Starmer. Although the Douglas coun
ty official declined to make public
Its contents, he declared it said noth
ing about the murder of Russell, the
flight into Canada, or anything else
concerning Roseburg'a famous mur
der case.
"He simply wrote to Mrs. Brum
flold to be of good cheer and await
his home-coming," said the sheriff.
"He avowed his devotion and love to
his wife and boys. That was all."
Telegram Also Is Sent.
Prior to writing the letter he sent a
te'.escram to Mrs. Brumfield, request
ins her not to come to Portland to
meet him, as he would be back in
Koscburg within a day or two.
When he shook hands with District
Attorney Neuner a few moments af
ter his arrival at the county jail at
8:30 o'clock yesterday morning. Dr.
Brumfield's first words were of his
wife and family.
"Did Mrs. Brumfield come to Port
lard?" be asked.
lie then wanted to know If she had
suffered any financial inconvenience
during his absence.
AH post-arrival predictions and
proi sises that the dentist would help
to clear up the Dennis Russell mur
der after he had talked with District
Attorney Neuner failed to materialize.
From Calgary the doctor had been
quoted as saying he would tell his
story to Neuner.
The "story" which he told in an
inquiry room at the county jail yes
terday was not what Neuner or Sher
iff Starmer had expected. In fact,
they indicated that they gave but
little credence to the rambling state
ments of their prisoner.
Brumfield Telia Story.
His story, in brief, is this:
"I can remember nothing from the
Sun.iay before Russell was murdered
until I woke up in my Pullman berth
yest irday morning. I have a faint
recollection of having been in Port
land, Seattle and Vancouver on my
way north, but there is nothing else
I can remember."
The prisoner insisted he could not
remember the name under which he
had been living at Calgary; that he
could not remember having purchased
the women's Bilk lingerie and having
it shipped to Seattle; of insisting that
he was Russell and not Brumfield,
as lie is reported to have done when
the sheriff and his deputy first ar
rival at Calgary.
"My mind has been a total blank,"
he told them. "It was only after I
got on the train and got to talking
to you that my thoughts returned.
I liuve no idea of what I have been
doing."
Similar Lapse Recalled.
During his talk with Mr. Neuner,
to which reporters were barred,
Brumfield is said to have told the
prosecuting attorney that suffering
lufcs of memory is not new to him.
He said he had suffered a similar
lapse at one time while in college.
This statement Is to be carefully
cnaoKed by the Douglas county
authorities.
Brumfield said the last thing he re
membered was that on the Sunday be
fjre the day of the murder which
uccurred on a Wednesday night he
v. as in the country near the Russell
cabin. A nephew, he said, had spilled
a box of airg-un shot on the ground
and he had stooped down to help pick
t iem up. From that time until he
twoke on the train Tuesday morn
ing, be said, his mind had been
total blank.
That his present plight has been
caused toy over-work was a state
ment made by the prisoner during the
course 01 nis . interview with re
porters.
"No matter what the outcome of
this case may be, one thing is certain
and that is I will never again prac
tice dentistry," he said. "It is nerve
shattering work, and is the cause of
all this trouble. At least, I will never
do dentistry and try to run a farm
at the same time."
Woman Story Gronndless.
Sheriff Starmer was authority for
the statement that reports of "an
other woman" who fled to Calgary
with or about the same time as Brum
field, proved to be without founda
tion
"I checked up on that angle very
careruiiy, he said. "This woman
who has been mentioned has been up
there 6ince the first of January. She
Is a chambermaid whom he happened
to meet in the hotel. I am confiden
no other woman was implicated in
any way.
"In fact, the only motive I have
been able to figure, providing he is
the slayer of Russell, is that of in
sanity, unless, of course, the man is
sane. We have checked up very
thoroughly on his life in Roseburg
and can find nothing which would
indicate a motive. Of course. Dr.
Brumfield 'stepped out occasionally
but he was very discreet about it and
but few people knew of it. A repu
table Roseburg dentist, who formerly
was an associate of Dr. Brumfield
and who, perhaps, knows him bette
than any other man, is positive tha
the doctor is not addicted to the us
of narcotics. He believes he would
know it, if such were the case.
DrnK lt Suggested.
The sheriff, however, declared that
the prisoner s mental and physlca
condition shortly after his arrest in
Calgary strongly suggested those o
a drug addict. The fact that he suf
fered a mental breakdown and wa
unable to eat for several days, in
dicates, he said, the same agonies
through which drug addicts are
forced to go Immediately alter bein
dcurivd of drugs.
Just when Brumfield will be taken
on to Roseburg is a matter whic
both Sheriff Starmer and District At
torney Neuner are endeavoring to
keep secret
"Although we do not fear any for
mldable demonstration against th
prisoner, we do not want to run th
gauntlet of the morbid crowd which
would surge aoout us, ana tor ma
reason we will endeavor to arrive
there unannounced," the sheriff said.

lal term of the grand jury will be
held in Roseburg a week from Satur
day to take up the Brumfield case.
This will probably mean an early
rial, he said. As yet no grand Jury
ndictment has been returned, the ar
rest having been only on a lower
court warrant charging him with the
murder of Dennis Russell.
Prisoner Closely Guarded.
The prisoner is being closely guard
ed at the county jail. Morbid persons
called at the jail throughout the day
and sought to get a glimpse ot the
prisoner. Late in the afternoon two
women who said they were friends
of the family called at the jail and
asked that they be allowed to greet
him. All such persons were barred
from the corridor, where he is in soli
tary confinement.
The glasses which the prisoner
wore upon his arrival here were
taken away from him when he was
placed in the cell. The Douglas coun
ty officials were fearful he might use
them in an attempt to take his own
life.
IjA graxde max sees dentist
Brumfield Decla red to I lave Been
Mentally Alert at Lake liouise.
Li GRANDE, Or.. Aug. 17. (Spe
cial.) Seeking seclusion but becom
ing extremely lonesome for some one
to talk to led Dr. R. M. Brumfield to
become friendly with D. M. Nichols,
an employe of a local bank, while the
latter was vacationing at Lake
Louise. '
On July 26 Mr. Nichols met Dr.
Brumfield. who was going under the
alias of Norman M. Whitney, alleg
ing himself to be a wealthy farmer
from Evansville, Ind., and on that day
and the following day the two spent
many hours together, sitting in the
lobby of the hotel and taking several
long walks. Mr. Nichols did not dis
cover that "Whitney" was Dr. Brum
field unfl he saw a picture in a
newspaper on his return.
There was nothing unusual about
the man who has confessed he Is Dr,
Brumfield, excepting his rather ab
normal aversion to society. While the
two men were talking In the hotel
lobby the doctor always sought
corner where he could turn his back
on the main lobby.
At the time of his stay at the lake
the Roseburg dentist appeared to be
a man unusually mentally alert, Mr.
Nichols declared. He said that his
wife and two children did not accom
pany him on his trip because the for
mer was not able to make such a long
trip.
The pictures of Dr. Brumfield pub
lished yesterday after his capture
were identified by Mr. Nichols, the
only change being that since his stay
at Lake Louise he had grown a rough
beard.
BiOAV OVER REWARD LTKELY
Railroad Agents Who Toldi of Pack
age Claim Part of Fund.
SALEM, Or.. Aug. 17. (Special.)-
First Indication that a controversy
is likely to ensue over the disposition
of the reward offered for the capture
of Dr. R. M. Brumfield, Roseburg
dentist, came to light here today.
George C. Wimer, Southern Pacific
clerk at Myrtle Creek, in a letter to
Governor Olcott said it was his opin
ion that a package shipped by Dr.
Brumfield from Myrtle Creek to
Seattle on July 13 was responsible
for the capture of the fugitive. In
formation regarding the shipment of
this package, Mr. Wimer said, was
given to the Douglas county officer
by himself and H. A. Tibbits, South
ern Pacific agent at Myrtle Creek, on
July 15.
"Sheriff Starmer, Deputy Sheriff
Webb and Marshal Shambrcok of
I Roseburg said that if the package
t-' fill
led to the arrest of Dr. Brumfield
we would come in for a part of the
reward," said Mr. Wimer's letter to
Governor Olcott. "As this package
played an important part In the cap
ture of the dentist we believe we
are entitled to a part of the reward.'
Governor Olcott, in replying to Mr.
Wimer's letter, explained that he
would recommend to the legislature
the appropriation of $1000 as a re
ward for the capture of Dr. Brum
field, but that his office had no dis
cretion in its disposition. This, the
governor said, was a matter wholly
n the hands of the legislature.
BBCMTIELD TKIAXi HXHRIED
Special Session of Court Ordered
to Convene August 29.
ROSEBURG, Or.. Aug. 17. (Spe
cial.) Circuit Judge Hamilton this
morning issued an order convening
circuit court In special session on
August . 29 for the purpose of dis
posing of the Brumfield case. Be
cause of the number of witnesses and
the length of time necessary to try
the case it was thought best to hold
a special session rather than wait
until November, which is the regular
lime lor court to convene.
The jurors will be chosen from a
special panel on August 22, and the
grand jury will go into session Mon
day morning, August 29. An indict
ment will doubtless follow at once
and the trial will be taken up im
mediately. It is expected that a week
or ten days will be consumed in
hearing the evidence.

Seven traffic officers employed by the
state motor vehicle department dur
ing the month of July traveled 10,847
miles, visited 163 towns and cities in
the state and were instrumental in re
turning to the department license and
other fees aggregating $1273. Fines
resulting from their activities for the
month totaled $7548.80. This was
shown in a report prepared here today
by T. A. Raffety, chief inspector for
the state motor vehicle department.
and filed with the secretary of state.
The state department has been
charged with a voice in traffic regu
lation just one year," said the secre
tary of state in a statement issued
after receiving the inspector's report.
irom the beginning the policy has
Deen one of education that is. ac
quainting the motor vehicle operator
with the requirements of the law.
Peace officers throughout the state
now generally regard the traffic laws
from the same viewpoint, and there
has heen during the past year a
more uniform enforcement of the
traffic laws than previously.
Lights Are Problem.
"One of the most difficult problems
confronting the inspectors end peace
officers is that of lights. The Ore
gon law requires that each motor
vehicle shall have front lights capa
ble of furnishing sufficient illumlna
tion to render clearly discernible on
a level highway any substantial ob
ject ZOO feet directly ahead. Also that
the lights of all vehicles shall be so-
arranged, adjusted and operated- so
as to avoid dangerous .glare or dazzle
iignting engineers are convinced
that the lights of motor vehicles may
be so adjusted as not to project into
the eyes of operators of approaching
machines. This can be done, they
said, by controlling the rays and not
permitting them to project above a
certain height at a given distance in
front of the motor vehicle.
AdjuntInK Station In Ve.
Realizing the importance of proper
light adjustment. I am informed that
the secretary of state of Utah ia
carrying on an effective campaign
with the full co-operation of the
motor owners. I have been advised
that light adjustment stations have
been established, at which the owners
of motor vehicles may have their
lights tested and adjusted upon the
payment of a fee of 50 cents. The
requirement is not compulsory on the
part of the motor vehicle owner, but
if he ie sufficiently interested, in
having his lights adjusted so as not
to endanger travel generally, then he
has the opportunity of securing a test.
"The Oregon law does not require
that testing stations shall be used.
The only requirement is that the
lights of all vehicles shall be so ar
ranged, adjusted and operated as to
avoid dangerous glare and dazzle,
Unless, however, the rays are so di
rected as not to project into the
eyes of the driver of an approaching
vehicle this requirement is not being
compiled with.
"The lighting problem is certainly
an Important one, -as many a motor
vehicle operator Is thrown into con
fusion through the failure of drivers
to have their lamps properly adjusted.
Here is a field in which great re
sults can be accomplished through
the activities and interest of every
motor vehicle owner."

CHINESE ACT IS BOOSTED
WAYS TO HOLD TRADE TOPIC
AT OOXFEREN'CE.
S. Firms Which Went to Orient
During War Reported Com
ing Home Defeated.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington. D. C, Aug. 17. At an In
formal conference of senators from
states west of the Rocky mountains
held at noon today by Senator Mc-
Nary of Oregon, J. B. Powell ot
Shanghai, China, and W. D. B. Dod-
son, manager of the Chamber of Com
merce of Portland, Or., made an earn
est appeal for vigorous co-operation
In getting the proposed China trade
act passed by the senate before con
gress takes a recess. The western
senators said they would do their best
to have the bill receive favorable ac
tlon.
In presenting the case, the two
speakers mentioned the long time the
bill has been pending, the swift fall
in America's share of China's foreign
trade, and the fact that many Ameri
can firms which went to China during
the war period are returning home de
feated. It was also argued that if
America is to retain anything near
heI P8ent " per cent of China's
vailing for years before the European
war, American business men in China
would have to be given an equal com
petitive opportunity with the business
men of other nations. Forecasts were
made that China must have an enor
mous trade in the future, and America
was logically entitled to a great share.
The tax exemption provided by the
house bill covering American firms in
China was said to have been made
unnecessary by the general tax ex
emption for Americans abroad in for
eign trade in the new revenue ball
presented to the house yesterday.
Proponents of the China bill will
study the new plan, to see whether it
covers tney noeu
