V K "It's Been Hell for Her," Sobs Alleged Slayer. MEETING IS AFFECTIONATE Dentist Says He Recalls Nothing of Crime. LOYAL FRIENDS THANKED Fugitive After Return to Kosebnrg Appears to Have Regained His Normal Poise. ROSEBURG. Or.. Aug. 19. (Special.) "It Is certainly wonderful the way my friends have stood by my wife and -family, in spite of the terrible crime charged against me and the evl Oence. which I must admit is most convincing." said Dr. R. M. Brumfleld as he choked with emotion and his eyes brimmed with tears in the only Interview granted today. Dr. Brumfleld asked that the people of Roseburg who had been kind to his loved ones be thanked. After a long talk with his wife, Dr. Brumfield asked permission to see a representative of the local paper, and then voiced his appreciation of the treatment which had been accorded his wife and three boys during the time he was a fugitive. "I cannot bear to think of what my family has gone through," he said brokenly, the tears welling into his eyes, while he was frequently forced to stop and control himself before he could go on with his statement. Gratitude Is Expressed. "It certainly has been hell for my wife, and I want to thank the friends who took her in and cared for her and ihowed her so much kindness when things were so black against me. My wife has told me that many of my frlends believed In me even when the evidence was the strongest, and I am so grateful that I cannot express it in words. "I want to see this thing settled up. I know I could not have com mitted such a deed or I would cer tainly feel some remorse, and I feel none. Oh, if I could onlj remember but it is all a blank; I cannot account for a thing I did. Dr. Brumfield, stretched out full length on his cot in the small, heavily barred cell, his feet resting upon a chair, his head supported by his inter locked hands, had no appearance of a man charged with one of the most heinous crimes ever committed in the northwest. Brumfleld Appears Polished. Instead he appeared to be the pol ished; cultured and refined dentist the people of Roseburg have- known and respected for years. In his ap pearance there was little change from the time he left Roseburg on the night of the alleged murder. His face was thin today and showed his sickness, but he is evidently stronger and less restless than at any time since his capture. I am much better today," he said, and I am going to do everything can to get my strength back for the ordeal which Is to come. I am still weak but I feel better now that I am home. I certainly am- glad to get back to Roseburg and I know I shall get better quickly." Brumfield Smuggled Into City. Sheriff Starmer and Deputy Sheriff Webb smuggled Brumfield into the city without the knowledge of the residents early this morning. The train on which he was riding was stopped at Edenbower, a small flag station about a mile north of Rose burg, by arrangement with the Southern Pacific company. There the prisoner and officers were me by Deputy Sheriff Hopkins. They quickly climbed into his automo bile and were driven to the county jail, arriving almost as soon as the train had stopped at the depot. The automobile was driven directly to the door of the jail, which is sit uated in the center of the courthous square, and the prisoner and hi guards stepped quickly into the cor ridor of the Jail and the doors closed behind them. Only the officers and local newspaper representatives were present as he was taken to his cell. Dentist Aulgocd to Cell. "Doc and I have been hitched to gether so long we work fine," Dep uty Sheriff Webb said as he removed the handcuffs. "We sure do make a fine team," was the doctor's response. The dentist was assigned to a cell in the department usually reserved for women, the lower portion of the Jail being occupied and it being the desire of the officers to keep him alone. As soon as he reached the cell he re moved his coat and declared his inten tion of going to sleep immediately, saying he was very tired. Brumfield's glasses were taken from him and an officer was detailed to guard the prisoner and the Jail. He was asleep In a very few minutes and slept soundly the rest of the night. After-breakfast this morning Mrs. Brumfield was admitted to see the dentist. She was accompanied by Dexter Rice, of the law firm of Rice & Orcutt, who are preparing the de fense. The meeting was very affec tionate, although no tears were shed. intained her com - Mrs. Brumfield ma Xational Guard Machine Gunners on Jutjr, But Withhold Fire. Police Answer Riot Call. KNOXVEiE, Tenn., Aug. 19. Twenty-seven persons were wounded, two seriously, tonight when deputies guarding the Knox county Jail fired on a crowd which had crossed a deadline with the purpose of de manding Frank Martin,, a negro, held as a suspect in a criminal assault upon a county school teacher. All of the wounded were white. Two were women. Deputy Sheriff Lewis was wounded in the arm by return fire from the crowd. I Although the machine gun compsny ( of the 117th Infantry, Tennessee na tional guard, was on duty at the Jail, the sold'iers did not open fire. following reports that the school teacher had identified Martin as her assailant, crowds gathered In the vi cinity of the Jail, which was guarded by national guardsmen, and soon started down the hill on Main street leading to the Jail. They were turned back twice by police. Gradually almost 200 men and' boys approached the jail, while several hundred other persons, many of them women, in the courthouse yard, looked down upon the scene. As they came within 100 feet Sheriff Cate stepped under an arc light and demanded that they disperse. He gave warning that an imaginary, line between two telephone poles should not be crossed. As a dozen men passed these poles. the sheriff picked' up a shotgun and fired over the heads of the crowd nto the air. The shooting then became general, deputies firing rapidly. Many of the loads of buckshot fired by the officers and intended o go above the heads of the crowd in the street went among spectators in the courthouse yard. Scores threw themselves to the ground to escape the hall of bullets coming in that direction while the crowd) in the street ran back, panic stricken, ana the deputies charged. firing over the heads of the crowd and driving all of them away from the JaiL At 11 o'clock a heavy detachment of police,' summoned from their homes for riot duty, appeared. At that hour there appeared little likelihood of further trouble. The local troop of national guard cavalry was mobilized but had not appeared on the scene. BARNSTABLE, Mass., Aug. 19. A Sheriff Rosenthal tonight asked for state troops to help guard the county jail here, where three negroes are held on charges of highway robbery and assault upon a white woman. He had received a report that a party of negroes was being organized af On set to come here and try to free the prisoners.

FIGHT INTENT IS DENIED Owner of Bus Line Declares 2few Scale Was Contemplated for Some Time and Will Stand. The rate war of transportation companies operating between Port land and Astoria and the Clatsop beaches went merrily on yesterday. The Spokane, Portland & Seattle rail way stood pat on the sensational re-' duction that it announced Tursday, and the steamer fleet retained Its $1 fare to Astoria, but the automobile bus lines got in the game with a slight fare reduction, and the Iralda, an independent steamer, which makes three trips a week, came out with a fare of 56 cents to Astoria. The new auto rate schedule was announced by A. Jaloff, owner of the Shepard line of busses, effective to day. The fare from Portland to Sea side was cut from $4.50 to $3.25 and the fare from Portland to Astoria from $3.75 to $2.75, all of the figures including war tax. Round-Trip Bate Inaugurated. A round-trip rate was also inaugu rated of $5 to Astoria and $6 to Sea side. Up to this time there has been no special round-trip rate excepting on week ends, when a tariff of $6.60 applied to either Astoria or Seaside It was announced that rates to in termediate points also would be cut, but the schedule of fares had not been worked out last night. Mr. Jaloff said that the rates just announced had beeo contemplated for some time. No matter what the railroad did, he said, they would re main in effect. He did not show any disposition to attempt to undercut or to meet the new quotations by the railroad. These, it will be recalled were given out Thursday by W.

AN NEWS BU REAU, Washington. D. C. Aug. 19. Soon there will . be great rejoicing among the fat women of the. land. Congress Is about to repeal the war tax on corsets. Some months ago the ladles of more or less rotundity rose in their wrath and in divers letters to their representatves and senators declared they were being discriminated against In favor of women of the svelte type. Realizing that such wrath might mean in the forthcoming congres sional elections, and also that the taxes on so-called luxuries are ob noxious and quite generally evaded, the office holders on Capitol Hill came to the conclusion that it was an outrage that Just because a woman was ahem stout, and un able to get her wrinkles within the folds of a $5 corset, she should be made to pay a tax of 10 cents on every dollar above the first five that the corsetlerre wanted to charge her. Now, members of congress, with suffrage afoot In the land are anxious to do everything wthin rea son. So it has been decreed that the 10 per cent tax on corsets must go, and with it similar assessments on women's silk stockings, kimonos. watchamacallems, waists, petticoats and fancy shoes. The stout women take credit for it all. NORTHWEST FAR IN LEAD Percentage of Veterans Insured by Government Highest. OLTMPIA, Wash.. Aug. 19. (Spe cial.)

Judge Robert Tucker of the Mult nomah, circuit bench, yesterday de clined his appointment by Governor Olcott to the supreme court of Oregon. Devotion to his present work and the belief that he could be of greater public service in the post he now occupies led to the refusal of the robes of supreme court justice, 'said Judge Tucker, who returned only yesterday from a vacation in Cali fornia. The action of Judge Tucker was believed to be the first recorded in stance of a, refusal of appointment to the highest Judicial office in the power of the state. Governor Olcott. in announcing yesterday afternoon that he had been in communication with Judge- Tucker relative to the position, declined to comment on the result the refusal may have on the programme of ap pointments announced contingent on Judge Tucker's acceptance. The gov ernor had notified Walter H. Evans, district attorney of Multnomah county, that he had been, selected to succeed Judge Tucker, and Stanley Myers, deputy city attorney, that he was to be appointed to fill Evans1 shoes. Judge Tucker told Governor Olcott of his decision Informally in a tele phone conversation yesterday after noon, followed with a formal letter of declination. The letter follows: My Dear Governor: Returning from my vacation today, I find your letter of August 15 confirming press statements ' relative to my selection by you to fill the vacancy to be made by the resignation of Justice Johns, associate justice of the supreme court. I am not unmindful of the high honor and truly appreciate the confi dence which this appointment mani fests on your part. Upon reflection however, it. seems to me that what ever qualifications I now have for judicial work fit me better for the trial bench than for appellate work and that, for a time at any rate can do greater public service where I am. "I wish to thank you most heartily and beg to remain, "Very sincerely yours, (Signed) ROBERT TUCKER. Speculation is rife in legal circles as to, the next step ' of Governor Olcott. He is placed in a position where - failure to appoint a supreme court Justice from the circuit bench of Multnomah county would com pletely upset other expected appoint ments. Judges left from whom selection might be made, providing they, also, were willing to accep the position of supreme court Justice are: John P. Kavanaugh, Robert G. Morrow, William N. Gatens, George W.

Presenting a divjded opinion for the first time since its formation a year and a half ago. the United States railroad labor board today, in a majority decision cut the overtime pay of certain classes of shop crafts workers, while a labor member, dissenting, declared the ma jority opinion "does not appear either just or reasonable." The dissenting opinion was by A. O. Wharton, ex-president of the railway employes' department. American Fed eration of Labor, which with the six federated shop crafts was involved In the dispute. Two Labor Members Afrree. Two labor members Joined the ma Jority in signing the decision Chang ing the rules. Those concurring in it were Judge R. M. Barton, chairman: G. W. Hanger and Ben W. Hooper, representing the public; Albert Phil lips and Walter L. McMenimen. mem bers for the unions, and Horace Ba ker. J. H. Elliott and Samuel Higgins, railroad representative. Seven rules affecting the overtime pay of the shop employes on 137 roads were Involved in today's decision. The roads appealed for modification of the national agreement rules, entered into during the war-time railroad ad ministration, and the majority, while finding- the war-time rules to be "Just and reasonable," modified certain ones in some particulars. Changes Made In Rules. Among the changes, the majority ruled that: Employes regularly called for Sun day and holiday work and performing tasks absolutely necessary for con tinuous operation of the roads shall not receive time and one-half, but only pay on the same basis as for week days. No work not absolutely necessary is to be performed on Sun days. Employes at the completion of eight hours' work may be required to work two hours' overtime before being re leased for meals, instead ot one hour as now provided. Employes called for work and no working or called for work and work ing two hours and 40 minutes or less will be paid for four hours Instead of five hours, under existing rules. Overtime Limitations Made. employes called one hour or less before their regular time will be paid time and one-half for the overtime in stead of the present five hours' al lowance. Men called away from home will not be allowed overtime for hours spent sleeping, provided they receive at least five hours' relief, out of every 24. Employes regularly assigned to per form road work and paid on a month ly basis will compute their sal aries on the basis of 243 hours a month instead of the present 263 hours, with no overtime allowed for hours worked in excess of eight a day and no time deducted for less than eight hours' work unless the employe lays off on his own accord. Wharton Presents Figures, It was this last rule to which Mr. Wharton took particular exception in his minority report. He presented figures to show that it would reduce road employes approximately $15 a month and give them an average monthly salary of $2 below that paid for the same class of work on May 1, 1919. At that time they were getting $189 a month, Mr. Wharton said. On April 30, 1920, the board raised them to $223. SO and eAi June 30 of this year reduced them to $202.50. Today's de cision, be said, means a further re duction to $187. Mr. Wharton contended the national agreement rules were fair and Just and should not at this time be changed. They embody, he said, rules mutually agreed on by carriers and employes over a period of 20 years, agreed on in some cases on roads where the unions did not at that time have a strong organization. To up set 20-year-old working agreements at this time is not just to the men. he contended. Other Lines May Be Affected. The decision prpbably will be ap plied to all other lines as fast as their cases come before the board. The railroad labor board has de cided." the majority report said, "that the seven rules approved by the board, corresponding to said seven rules of the national agreement, are just and reasonable and that they shall apply to each of the carriers set out under the caption 'Parties to the dispute,' except in such Instances as any particular .carrier may have agreed with its employes upon any one or more of said rules, in which case the rule or rules agreed upon Retired Army Officer Drops Over While Waiting tor Call for Jury Duty. OAKLAND. Cat., Aug. 19. Major General Henry A. Greene. U. S. A., retired, dropped dead in the Alameda county courthouse here late today, where he had been summoned for special Jury duty. The body was not identified as that of General Greene for several hours after death occurred. Witnesses who saw the general's death said that he was stooping over In a corridor of the courthouse to pick up a paper which he had dropped when he fell forward. When spectators reached him he was dead. General Greene was 66 years old nd had resided in Berkeley since his retirement at the close of the world war. He was graduated from West Point in 1879 and organized the famous 91st division at Camp Lewis, Wash. General Greene served in the Spanish-American war both in Cuba and the Philippines, he commanded the Eagle Pass district on the Mex ican border, served In Alaska, Pan ama, and at one time commanded the army service schools at Leavenworth. Kan. General Greene was a member of the first American general staff in 1903. and later was secretary of the general staff. Surviving relatives are his widow and a son. Major James Z. Greene, stationed at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt. TACOMA. Wash., Aug. 19. Major- General Henry A. Greene was prob ably the most widely known in the Pacific northwest of all the com manders at Camp Lewis, it being he who was practically at the head of the Tacoma cantonment from the time of its construction until the 91st (Wild West) division started over seas. Greene park, the army amusement zone, directly across the Pacific high way from the reservation, was named after him. As the commanding officer who trained the 91st division up to Its departure for France, he is most gen erally remembered here for his lo cally famous general order placing a temporary ban on the city of Seattle by forbidding soldiers to visit that city. General Greene's sudden removal from the command of the 91st divi sion at the 11th hour, when the divi sion had already commenced moving overseas, also created wide comment here at the time, as the general was held In warm regard by the raw men ne had made into soldiers and was as highly esteemed by the hundreds who know him personally In Tacoma and surrounding territory.

SINN FEIN LEADERS WARNED Lloyd George Intimates That Rejection Means War. PLEA FOR PEACE MADE Premier Tells Commons Refusal by Iail Eireann Would Be Defiance of Crown. LONDON. Aug. 19. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The outline of the British proposals cannot be altered nor the basis of them changed, said David Lloyd George, British prime minister, in an address today in the house of commons on the Irish situa tion. The premier was speaking just prior to the adjournment of the lower house of parliament until October 18. It had been the purpose to prorogue the commons today, but uncertainty as to developments in Ireland caused , the premier to consider it advisable to hold the members where ' they might be called at short notice for any eventuality if the terms of the government either are accepted or re jected. Mr. Lloyd George said rejection would be an unmistakable challenge to the authority of the crown and the unity of the empire "and no party in the state could possibly pass that over without notice." He declared that he was not using the language of menace, but that If final rejection came, "steps undoubtedly will have to be taken which the executive ought not and will not wish to take without first consulting parliament and giv ing it full opportunity of expressing approval or disapproval of any steps we might propose to it." Lord Conon Speal&s. Simultaneously in the house of lords Foreign Secretary Curson made a similar statement. It might be. he declared, that circumstances would compel resumption of strife In Ire land, but Great Britain would not be the one to commence.it. He added that the Issue was trembling in the balance, and that If any challenge was given, the government would ac cept it and not quail before its diffi cult task. It was considered that the premier's language had again been carefully chosen with the evident desire not to give offense or to say anything that likely would hinder the smooth course of the negotiations. In his address Mr. Lloyd George said he was highly pleased to be able to say that the whole world approved of the govern ment's policy. The British government in its Irish peace offer had conceded everything it was possible to concede. Premier Lloyd George declared. Offerr Declared Liberal. It embodied the largest measure of freedom ever offered Ireland, he said, and he hoped the Irish leaders would not reject It "and take the responsi bility of renewing a conflict which would be robbed of all glory and all gratitude by its overshadowing hor rors." Provision had been made, he said, for the summoning of parliament on 48 hours' notice if negotiations broke down and the prospect of peace be came hopeless. He hoped, however, that reason would prevail and the government's desire for an ending of the long misunaerstanamg oeiwceu England and Ireland wouid be real ized. The British government, declared Premier Lloyd George today, in mak ing its settlement proposals to Ire land, had decided on putting the whole of its terms into the letter to Eamonn de Valera without keeping anything back, and the sequel had proved, he (Concluded on Page 3.
