THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington. D. C SeDt. 14. With
the issuance today by the war finance
corporation of a circular of instruc
tions to banks and bankers, a billion
dollars set aside by congress a few
weeks ago became actually available
foragricultural loans, and advances
under the amendment to the war
finance act will begin as soon as the
banks receive the Instructions and
accompanying forms, and local agri
cultural loan agencies, appointed by
the corporation, organize and are
ready to pass upon applications and
submit recommendations to Wash
ington. The billion dollars now available
for agricultural loans is to be treated
as a lump sum and will not be appor
tioned or pro rated among the states.
Applications for loans will be passed
upon by the war finance corporation
at Washington in the order in which
recommendations are received from
the local agricultural loan agencies.
These local agencies are now being
appointed, those at Portland, Spokane,
Helena, Denver and Cheyenne having
already been named.. Agencies at Salt
Lake City and Boise will be named to
receive applications for loans in their
districts and to-investigate all appli
cations and make recommendations
as to these loans to the war finance
corporation, which, in the end, will
act on all applications.
WASHINGTON, p. C, Sept. 14. The
American government again has
taken the initiative in the armament
negotiations by suggesting to the
ether powers a tentative list of sub
jects for discussion.
The proposal, however, does not
enumerate all specific controversies
this government considers pertinent
to the armament discussion. It is
confined rather to a grouping of
broad questions of policy without any
attempt to speculate as to what par
ticular cases may arise.
So far none of the invited nations
has replied formally, but officials are
understood to have received encour
aging reports of the reception of the
list. -
The communication has not been
made public here and those in charge
have declined to reveal its contents,
pending a definite agreement on the
final list to comprise the text and
limitations of the deliberations of the
conference. ' . -
By avoiding mention of specific
controversial cases officials are said
to feel that the possibility of agree
ment on scope and limitat'on will be
greatly enhanced. Thus in the case of
Ch'na the American suggestion is un
derstood to be that the integrity of
China be included In the eligible sub
jects, leaving the. trend of the discus
sion to develop whether the confer
ence will be led under the beading
into a consideration of such cases as
Shantung.
It Is believed that the American
government is ready to Include In the
list such other subjects as extra
territorial rights in China, the Si
berian situation and problems of
the Pacific islands.
It is argued that the scheme of per
mitting the conference to develop its
own scope has a peculiar adaptability
to the far eastern situation.

COUNCIL CONFIRMS CHOICE
Assembly Decides Not to In
tervene in Mandates
DEFINITION IS AWAITED
Question Is Left to Negotiations Be
tween Principal Powers and
United States;
Bankers Local Agents.
It is thought that through the em
ployment of local loan agencies con
siderable time, will be saved to local
borrowers, while the war finance cor
poration will have the benefit of the
experience and local knowledge of
conditions possessed by the bankers,
who will compose the agricultural
loan agencies.
As the administration of the act Is
I almost entirely a banking proposi
tion, the list of members consists of
bankers, both state and national, who
are familiar with agricultural condi
tions in their sections. In order that
frequent meetings of the committees
may be held. It was found necessary
to appoint three members in or near
cities where agencies are located. .
The names were chosen on the rec
ommendations of the various business
organizations in the different dis
tricts. Members of .the committees
are unpaid and the corporation has
been gratified at the very large pro
portion of acceptances on the part of
individuals . selected, indicating . that
they realize the opportunity for great
public service.
Procedure Made Clear.
The procedure in shaking application
for loans will be as follows: The
financial institutions desiring an ad
vance will flu' out the application
form, which can be obtained from the
. nearest agricultural loan agency, or
federal reserve bank. Forms will be
: submitted in triplicate to the local
agricultural loan agency. The mem
bers of the agency will then investi
gate the case thoroughly and will send
, the application form with their rec-
. ommendations to the war finance cor
poration. If the application is finally
approved, by the corporation, the
money will at once be made available
to the borrower.
The circular Issued today by the
war finance corporation for the infor
mation of bankers applying for ad
vances and those desiring to sell to
the corporation notes secured by agri
cultural products, including livestock,
follows:
"The war finance corporation Is au
thorized to make an advance to any
bank, banker or trust company which
may have made advances for agricul
tural purposes; that is. for any pur
- pose connected with the growing, har- i
vesting, preparation for market, and
' marketing of agricultural products,
or the breeding, raising, fattening,
and marketing of livestock; or which
may have discounted or rediscounted
agricultural paper; that is. any note,
draft, bill of exchange or other ne
gotiable instrument Issued for an ag
ricultural purpose. The term 'bank,
banker or trust company' includes any
reputable and responsible financing
institution incorporated under the
. laws of any state or of the United
States with resources adequate to the
. undertaking contemplated.

who was captured a few minutes later.
Rounesville was alone when the

PRESIDENT STARTS HOME
GENEVA, Sept. 14. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The bench of the in
ternational court of justice elected by
the assembly and council of the
league of nations today appears to
give general satisfaction to the dele
gations with few exceptions. Eleven
judges were chosen as follows:
- John Bassett Moore, United States;
Viscount Finlay, Great Britain; Dr.
Y. Oda, Japan; Dr. Andre Weiss,
France; Commendatore D. Anzilotti,
Italy; Dr. Ruy Barbosa, Brazil; Dr.
B. T. C. Lodor, Holland; A., & De
Bustamente, Cuba; Judge Didrik Ny
holm, ' Denmark; "Dr. Max Huber,
Switzerland, and Dr. Rafael Altamira
y Crev'ea, Spain.
Nine of the .judges were chosen on
the first, ballot. . The bench repre
sents all four of the great systems
of jurisprudence and nearly every
race and tongue in the assembly.,
Election Provokes Applanae.
The American candidate, Mr. Moore,
was chosen on the second ballot. His
election provoked the greatest applause.-
The South and Central Amer
ican combination with Spain carried
through its slate of four candidates
on the first ballot. It became neces
sary, however, for them to sacrifice
Dr. A. Alvarez of Chile, because the
council did not put his name on its
list. In the re'ballotmg Dr. Huber of
Switzerland and Judge Nyholm of
Dennf.rk outvoted him. '
Dr. Huber's election to represent
the German speaking people disap
pointed some delegations, including
the French delegates, who said that
the Germans ought to be represented
by. a citizen of a distinctly German
country; they voted . for Dr. Franz
Klein of Austria.
When they failed to elect Dr. Klein,
they endeavored to secure a place for
him as a deputy judge, but the South
Americans gained a. majority in the
assembly for Dr. Alvarez and when it
was found that the council had again

members of tne family farewell.
"I'm going to sea and will be back
in a year," he shouted, as he waved
his hand to his relatives who stood
on the front porch of their Mount
Scott cottage. , -
A short time later the same beard
less youth walked into police head
quarters and saluted the desk ser
geant.
'I'm a parole violator from San
Quentin and I want to be locked up,'
lie said simply. "I want to go bacU
and do my bit," he continued as he
held his hands aloft to be searched
prior to being placed in a cell.
Police officials . were astounded.
They could not believe that the boy.
a mere youth in both years' and
stature,' could be an ex-convict and
they hesitated to comply with his
request. ' ' ,
A search of records, however, con
vinced them. The boy is t parole
violator out Of San Quentin peniten-
tary, California", where he was serv
ing an indeterminate sentence of from
six months to life for attempted high
way robbery. He violated hia parole
less than three months ago.
I simply got tired of dodfring the
police," he explained as his reason
for giving himself up. "Every time
I saw a cop I thought he waj coming
to pinch me. I simply decided I'd
go back and do my bit so that
could have a chance to go straight
after I'd wiped the slate clean.."
Young Ensminger, whose prison
record dates from the time he was 9
years old, said that the California
prison board had reduced his inde
terminate life sentence to not more
than five years, and he believes' that
he can procure his freedom after
serving; one mure )cnr.
"I can do a year more standing on
one ear," he said, with a laugh.
Official records at police head
quarters disclosed that Ensminger had
been sent to San Quentin prison from
San Diego for attempted highway rob
bery. In company with two others, he
attempted to hold up two automo
bilists on a highway near San Diego.
He was captured a few minutes after
the hold-up, but his. two companions
escaped.
He was paroled about four .months
ago on condition' that he would re
main at sea for two. years. He says
he shipped jut of San . Francisco on
a sailing schooner bound north. When
the vessel touched at Hoquiam he
escaped from the ship and came to
Portland to be with his father and
mother. He has remained here since
then, but has failed to keep prison au
thorities at San Quentin advised of
his whereabouts and has been posted
as a parole violator.

Attcnrpt to Kill William Ducharme
Admitted ; First Degree Chargo
Will Be Pressed.
THE DALLES. Or.. Sept. 14 (Spe
cial.) Apparently worn out after a
sleepless night, during, which he
wajked the floor of his cell wrestling
with his conscience, M. L. ("Abe")
Evans this morning confessed to kill
ing James Doran and shooting Will
iam Ducharme.
Shortly after he had eaten break
fast Evans called Jailer Coleman snd
said he wanted to tell his story. Sher
iff Levi Chrismam Francis V. Gallo
way, district attorney, and Guy Elton,
deputy sheriff, were quickly sum
moned, and with Coleman heard
Evans' admission that on Saturday
night last, in a remote place along
the Cherry Heights road, southwest of
the city, he had slain Doran for the
sake of the small roll of bills he car
ried. Evans was unable to read or
write, and1 his confession was no
written because the district attorney
felt that the statement would be
futile without Evans' signature.
Evidence in the. case will be pre
sented to the grand jury next Tues
day, Mr. Galloway said soon after
hearing Evans' story. An indictment
probably will be returned soon after
ward, and the trial may be held dur
ing the following week. Galloway
will press for an indictment charging
murder in the first degree. A firs
degree murder complaint against
Evans already has been signed by
Ducharme.
Evans admitted not only killing
Doran but of attempting to kill Du
nharme. He fired once at the latter,
Evans said, but when Dufharme fled.
instead of falling, the slayer firei

feet and then completed the Job by

the killing Evans said he threw his
revolver in the brush along the road,
drove his automobile back to the city,
stored it 'in the Motor Service garage,
thence going to a lodging house in
the Champion block, rented a room
and slept until early Sunday morn
ing. About 6 o'clock Sunday morn
ing he started back to Bend, but was
intercepted by tne sheriff of Jefier

c'ared this afternoon. Insanity will
be the defense, just as had previously
been decided on. The preponderance
of evidence as to the deta'ls of the

Once Together, Lawmakers Might
Attempt Highway, Telephone
and Other Legislation.
Tij work out the tax programme for
the 1925 exposition a epeciai session
of the legislature will have to be
called, so that the required bill and
constitutional amendment can be re
ferred to the people at the primary
election in the spring. The prospect
of a special session is beginning to
ir. trigue the members and the vet
erans of the "thlid house." No one
knows when Governor Olcott will
issue the call and statements even
are made that no such call will be
issued, but the method of f'nancing
tne exposition will require, for speed,
summoning the lawmakers to Salem.
Gossip has it that the governor will
atk members to attend ths special
session at their own expense and have
the session limited to one day. It is
not likely that either of theso things
will work out. Many of the members
have long distances to travel and they
would be a', an expense of between
$100 and $200, whereas members from
Multnomah, Clackamas, Marion, Linn,
Lane, Benton and Polk could easily
make the trip without much of a dent
in their pocketbooks. Denton G. Bur-
dick, representing Crook, Deschutes,
Grant, Jefferson, Klamath and Lake
counties, who is in Portland, said he
would be willing to attend at his own
expense. He did not commit himself.
however, to a one-day session.
' Other Baiilneaa Possible.
Once a special session is convened
it can operate for 20 days. The spe
cial session Qf 1920 ran. one week,
although some of the members were
quite willing to extend it to the con
stitutional limit. Once the members
are called to order they can do as
they please and cannot be confined
to dealing with the exposition bill
alone.
Already there is talk of a bill to
regulate passenger and freight motor
buses on the state highways. A bill
with such a purpose in view was in
troduced, passed and vetoed at the
1921 regular session. The bill was
far from perfect. In the event of a
special session getting Into action.
the jitney problem will be tackled,
for. since the adjournment of the
regular session last February, ther
ha) been a growing demand for reg
ulation of these vehicles, particularly
ince the heavy trucks have shown
disposition to disregard traffic
laws, and by overloading are dam
aging the roads.
Then, too, there is a demand that
these passenger and freight trucks
pay to the state some adequate com
pensation for the use of the high
ways. Such a measure would line up
the bus operators on one side and
the transportation companies on the
other and a lUrely legislative tilt
would follow.
Phone Problem Looms.
There was talk yesterday that tele
phone legislation might be attempted,
unless the public service commission
makes a substantial reduction of cur
rent rates as a result of the recent
five weeks' hearing. In this connec
tion K. K. Kubli of Multnomah county
says that he has a few matters which
he proposes to submitato the special
session dealing with certain affairs
which require attention
