THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, 3IOXDAT, SEPTEMBER 2G, 1921 T HELD FOR PERJURY "Love Nest" Proprietor Said to Have Lied for License. OTHER VICTIMS SOUGHT Clinton II. Miller Believed to Have Deceived Score of Women In Varlou l'urts of Country. TTTTSBURG, Pa.. Sept. 13. (Spe cial.) A charge of perjury today wa added to the charge of bigamy under which Clinton 11.

Miller. accord Ins to testimony of policewomen and tne of hta wlveit. for three montha liaa lived with his two latest bride at (805 Hamilton avenue, thla city. The perjury charge against Miller, who. the police believe, haa main tained "love nests" In different cities of the country at divers times, was made by Chief of Detectives Kdeburn, and was based oir an alleged sworn statement of Miller made when he ob tained a license to marry Ruth Hed rlck. who Is known to be his third wife. Miller, according to the police, at the time he obtained the license, awore that he had never been mar ried. Woman to Testify. A sequel to the "love nest" record tf Miller Is promised when Pauline Welch Miller, now 111 In Mercy hos pital, as the result of an operation, appears before Magistrate Sweeney to give her version of Millers matri monial escapades. In the meantime the police are combing the country for Information that will lead to the finding of other wives the inventor ajwas tuld to have Miller, while on a tour of Florida, married Pauline Welch at Jackson ville. While en route to this city from '!orlda he met Iluth lledrick on a train and before they arrived here Miller proposed to the girl and was accepted.

Ail the names, they sat'l. they believe are fictitious. This Is borne out by the fact that the letters were all addressed to "general de livery." ALL STATETAKES HAND rvtitlmie1 TVnm TlTyt Pare ) with the importance of a harmonious plrlt. The men who have been work ing upon the exposition plan up to the present writing have had but one thought in mind a greater Oregon; a united people. Frraoaal Interests Dealed. "The best illustration to start this entlment over the state will be an unanimous expression in the Novem ber election followed by similar ac tion over the state. There are no personal Interests to serve and no special privileges to be granted. What is required on the part of everyone Is a whole-hearted spirit of enthusiasm that will put the exposi tion over to do the greatest amount of good to the largest number. "A very gratifying feature of the work up to the present time has been the wholesome support received from neighboring states. California. Wash ington, Idaho, Utah and other sections of the west are offering the most sub stantial kind of support to Oregon in 1925. Governor Davis of Idaho was in the city September 22 and promised the aid of his state In exploiting the exposition in connection with a large programme already started In Idaho to bring more people to the west. It seems that we have the good will of almost everybody In the country, and it now remains for Oregon to make good. Broad Spirit Is Advised. "Let the broader spirit prevail. It la Oregon, not Portland, that we wish to advance. We need more people in the state at large. More hotels, apart ment houses, homes, better and more highways, people on farm lands and factories to give abundance of em ployment. We have arrived at a period In our development where we need to tap the natural resources of the state. We need cheaper fuel to Induce manufacturing, and additional markets for the products of the soil, the field and the farm. "This is the remedy for lowering taxes and increasing land values. The exposition will advertise Oregon and the northwest. The means by which people ran come west are the paved highways and motor transpor tation. Opportunity will be given railroad and steamship lines to in augurate reduced rates. Conventions of all kinds will come to all parts of the west and to the exposition, and thus hundreds of thousands will see the Oregon country for the first time. Profit to Mate Cited. "Candidly, there are no other means that one un think of that will ad vance the social and Industrial re sources of the state quicker than the exposition in 1925. It's Oregon's op portunity. It will be Oregon's last chance to stage a world-wide enter prise during the present generation. Twenty years ago Portland ap proached a similar period In the Lewis and Clark fair. The city and state profited thereby. It proved an asset instead of a liability. Many men looked with caution at the outcome, but ths real beginning of Industrial expansion for Oregon began In 1805. "What will the harvest be In 1925 vlth all the world's attention turned toward the west? What will It be worth to Oregon for every state, every nation to participate in an en isrprlse centered In the heart of the northwest? I believe that the auto mobiles alone will pay back the capi tal invested by Oregon n the expo sition. Big Returns Predicted. "By the Investment of $,000.00 In in exposition I venture the prediction that Oregon will receive far In ex cess of 1100,000.000 In return. With out figuring the results In a monetary sense. It will be worth all the exposi tion costs to give the people an op portunity to work toward one end. to have the spirit of co-operation prevail j broadcast. Let tu watcuworu be mm OE Eil r WHY JAPAN IS DETERMINED TO HOLD WHAT SHE HAS GAINED BY FORCE IN FAR EAST. Here are the reasons for Japan's conviction that her representa tives must be governed by special considerations during the con ference called by President Harding for the discussion of limitation of armaments and far eastern questions: 1. Because expansion Is absolutely necessary for the survival of a population of 78,000.000 Japanese hemmed within the borders of an Island territory only one-third larger than the state of Texas. 2. Because of her determination to hold on to the 750.000 miles of land area and to perpetuate her domination over more than a million miles of seas that she has acquired or seised since the Japanese-Russian war, IS jeers ago. 1. Because she Is determined to provide a larger fleJd for her rapidly growing-merchant marine, through which she hopes to dic tate the trade conditions of the far east and the Pacific. 4. Because she will demand non-interference with her pro gramme for exploiting the natural and commercial resources of northern China, Cores. Manchuria, Mongolia and Siberia, whose populations, aggregsting nearly 20,000,000, are defenseless against her huge army and splendid navy. 5. Because of her ambition to dominate through the appllca ' tlon of Imperialistic policies the political and economic fortunes of the countries she has coerced with her military machine and from which she must secure raw materials to gratify her ambition for world power. (. Because she Is determined to find homes and occupations, from which she will greatly profit, for the teeming millions who struggle for a livelihood in the overcrowded territory of the imperial Island empire. 7. Because of her confidence that, by the application of force, she will finally compel the assimilation of the S0.0O0.000 of alien population of Formosa, Shantung, Mongolia, Saghallen and the Islands In the Pacific mandated to her by the Versailles treaty and the League of Nations. t. Because she will demand the fullest liberty in fortifying the . islands now administered by her as a means of defense against any attempt to deprive her of the territory she has illegally seised or to curtail her dire need for expansion. 9. Because of her demand that other nations shall grant racial equality to Japanese subjects seeking homes and occupations out aide of the Imperial Japanese empire. 10. Because of her determination to resist any encroachment by the United States or any other power with which she has not con sented to share the trade of Asia and the Pacific through the in strumentality of secret treaties negotiated for mutual advantage. '! forward to 1925 for a greater Oregon, and make it unanimous." The personnel of the state-wide 1925 exposition organization, of which Ju lius L. Meier Is chairman, follows: W. B. Ayer. Portland; J.

ROBBER BELIEVED SLAYER rolice Think Thett of Cash Was Motive for Killing Family. POWACIAC, Mich.. Sept. 25. Search of the house In which William Monroe, his wife Mary and their 17-year-old daughter Neva were beaten to death with a club as they slept a week ago last night, strengthened the authorities' belief today that rob bery was the motive. A letter from Meslck, Mich., formerly the home of the Monroes, also supported this theory, the sheriff announced. In the cellar of the Monroe home, half burled in the dirt, was found a tin can that contalnend C7 cents. Of ficers now believe this can contained the money the family was said to have saved up to purchase a home. Relatives told officers today Mon roe carried life Insurance amounting to 12000 and that his wife's life was Insured for 11000. The family was believed to possess approximately $1000 In cash. Horseshoe Tourney Planned. ALBANY, Or.. Sept. 23. (Special.) An old-fashioned horseshoe pitching tournament will be a feature of the Linn county fair next week.

Non-Interference to Be Demanded In Exploiting Manchuria, Corea, China, Mongolia, Siberia. ffontlnned From rtrrt Page) In all the world, the Japanese, within 40 years, have emerged, from a state of primitive civilisation to one of enlightened progress. But it was not until the end of .the last century that her people began to employ the lessons learned since the days of Perry and Instanced their ambition to compete with the more experienced and larger nations In the world. C'sar Armies Vaaqnlahed. ' The actual modern career of Japan as a power of the first rank, however, did not actually begin until 1904, just 18 years ago. It was in that year that the hitherto comparatively ob scure Asiatic island empire startled the world by defeating the hitherto unvanquished armies and navies of the Imperial Russian Czar and exact ed concessions that transformed her overnight into the dominant influence in Asia. In the U years that elapsed be tween the Japanese-Russian war and the present date. Japan has furnished an exhibition of political, diplomatic military, territorial and economic ad vancement unparalleled in the history of nations. She has become a world power in every sense of the word end at the present time Is the most tur bulent and disturbing among them. The mikado's government, con fronted with this most serious of all human problems, began to reach out to find room In which to grow. A one sided war against huge, illiterate, peaceful, sluggish and unambitious China added the valuable island of Formosa to Japanese territory and gave her the comparatively unimpor tant Jarry group of Islands, which has since been transformed into a highly developed naval base. Further Conquest Sought. The easy victory over China en couraged Japan to seek further con quest on the Asiatic mainland. Spo radic conflicts between her advance guard of intriguants in Manchuria and the covetous Russians brouaht about the war which resulted in the humiliation of the great Slav nation and contributed the greatest surprise In the history of modern warfare. While her navies were seeking out and destroying the Inadequately equipped and ill manned units of the Russian war fleet, Japan thrust her splendidly organized and managed ar mies into the mainland of Asia and Invaded and passed through Corea, Manchuria and Mongolia in pretty much the same manner as the forces of the Imperial German kaiser made a towpath of Belgium. When Japan emerged the victor In the war with Russia she had Im pressed her iron grip on the defense less northern provinces of China, and by resort to several forms of diplo matic subterfuge has since retained practical control of all of them. Mandate Means CoatroL The great world war added not only to the territory of Japan but en couraged the expansion of her politi cal, military and economic power over all of northern China afd into Siberia, which she has systematically set about reducing to subserviency by the same process she employed la her earlier victories. By skillful bargaining and alert and subtle diplomacy she compelled the Paris peace conference to grant, her mandatory authority over some of the most important islands In the Pacific fringing the equator. Mandatory au thority In the Far East practically amounts to absolute control. KLUX OPPONENTS FORM White Horse Knights Organized to Fight Klansmen. CONEHATTA. Miss. Sept. 25.

(By the Associat ed Press.) According to reports made by republican liaison officers. Inci dents occurred Saturday night and early today reminiscent of conditions that prevailed prior to the truce. Citizens Are Insulted. A party of citizens were reported to have been halted in MacCurtain street and roughly treated by mem bers of the British constabulary. Women of the party, terrified, fled. A police patrol of five men was accosted on St. Patrick's bridge by a large patrol of British police. The republicans were allegr to have been questioned and called "Irish swine" and assaulted with batons and re volver butts. One man was stabbed in the arm.

Sept. 25. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Several members of the British cabinet who are said to have etudied Premier Lloyd George's reply to Eamonn de Valera. have not yet conveyed their views to the pre mier, and it is regarded as not un likely that the premier's note will not be ready for dispatch before Tuesday or Wednesday. Opinion seems to be hopeful that the note will be couched to accommo date the position of the Sinn Fein leaders and enable them to come Into another conference. Meanwhile, disturbing reports of new provocative acts, alleged to have been made by black and tans In Cork and elsewhere, are causing apprehen sion among those hopeful of a settle ment. Developments In the Internment camp at Spike island, where prisoners are reported to be carrying out re prisals for alleged rough usage by guards and the week-end develop ments in Belfast added to the dis quietude. . in the light of these occurrences, significance is attached to a state ment made in Dublin by Irish authori ties on the government side, that "peace wreckers" again are at work.
