ROSEBURG, Or., Oct. 10. (Special.)
Selection of the 12 men who will
form the Jury that will try Dr. R. M.
Brumf eld for the murder of Dennis
Russell was complet-. " late this aft
ernoon. After the Jury had been sworn In,
court was adjourned until 9 A. M. to
morrow, when District Attorney Neu
ner will present his opening argu
ment for the state. The prosecution
will then call on the first of a large
array of witnesses to give testimony
that may fasten def'nitely on Dr.
Brumfield the guilt of one of Ore
gon's most sensational murder mys
teries. Frank Prlngle, a farmer of Elk
Head, was the last man chosen for
the Jury. When he took his place In
the Jury box, the third panel of pros
pective jurymen drawn for the trial
had been exhausted.
Defense I sea 12 Challenges.
The defense had used all 13 per
emptory challenges allotted for re
jecting tentative Jurors, but the state
.had one challenge left. Rejection of
Mr. Prlngle would have forced the
drawing of a new panel and caused
delay in the trial. He was accepted
by both defense and prosecution,
however, .nd whcii the state declined
to use Its last challenge, the ju-'y
wincii win make; : tot In (hie noted

IluaKrll' Father Drop Dead.
News of another tragedy In the
Russell family was received In the
courtroom today and added a dra
matic touch to the proceedings. Word
tha,t Thomas Russell, aged 87, father
of Dennis Russell, had dropped dead
this morning at the home of his son,
Tom, at Boomer Hill, near Myrtle
Creek, was brought to J. T. Russell
and Ed Russell, brothers of the mur
der victim, and Mrs. Fred Smith, a
sister, as the trio sat in the court
room among the spectators.
They left the courtroom immedi
ately for Myrtle Creek. The head of
the Russell household was a rugged
pioneer, who talked little "of the
tragic event of July 13, or the trial
of Dr. Brumfield.
Brumfield Retains Control.
The report of the elder Russell's
death was soon spread to everyone
In the courtroom by word of mouth.
It was predicted that the death of the
grief-stricken father would exert a
subtle but powerful Influence on the
Jury trying Dr. Brumfield as the
slayer of Dennis, the aged father's
best loved son.
Dr. Brumfield again was the same
cool picture of self-control that he
has been throughout the case He
sat close beside his wife, and con
tinued to touch her arm affection
ately at intervals as ..j did yesterday.
Often their feet touched under the
table, and Mrs. Brumfield at such
times usually glanced up at her mate
with an adoring look.
The accused man turned his full at
tention to the jury box today. He
studied each face in the box with ab
sorbing -scrutiny. Several Jurors
shifted and fidgeted uncomfortably
when they caught the piercing, fas
cinating gaze of the alleged mur
derer's remarkable Jet-black eyes,
which never change expression,

In the crowd tnat watched Dj.

porters today that the dentist had
approached him casualiy one day at
Lake Louise and remarked on thu
"wonderful scenery" of the district.
When Dr. Brumfield appeared out
aide of the Jail Mr. Nichols declared:
That's Dr. Brumfield. He's wearing
the same blue suit with a thin stripe
he had on when I met him In
Canada."
Dr. Brumfield stared at Mr. Nichols
when he passed by, but made no sign
of recognition. Instead he turned his

Members Urged to Show Patriotism
by Staying In Service Pend
ing Developments.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 10. The
navy department has no thought
whatever of permanently giving up
the naval reserve force. President
Harding said today In a letter to
Hugh Harley of the Philadelphia In
quirer, who asked for an explanation
of the recent drastic cut in the naval
reserve forces.
Dlsenrollment of four reserve
classes was ordered as a step toward
reorranlzation, Mr. Harding said, add
ing the department was now engaged
In drawing up, and would seek to
have enacted a bill to cover the entire
subject.
Urging that officers and men af
fected by the recent order, apply for
membership In the volunteer reserve.
President Harding said:
"Its members can In no better man
ner show their patriotism, loyalty and
the true navy spirit, than by retaining
their membership pending further de
velopments. "The necessity for a reorganization
of the naval reserve was recognized
early In this administration and steps
were taken to formulate a well-considered
policy for the future, based on
experience gathered In the world war.
Such a policy. If adopted, must pro
vide for supplying trained or par
tially trained men to fill the comple
ments of auxiliary ships In time of
national emergency, thus obviating
the necessity for withdrawing men
from the battle fleet.
"The appropriation for the naval
reserve force available for the present
fiscal year was not adequate to per
mit the reduction of the naval reserve
in an orderly manner to the size for
which funds are available without
creating a deficiency. It became the
clear duty of the navy department
to make drastic reduction in the naval
reserves and to dlsenroll from Sep
tember 30 some 223.000 officers and
men, all of whom have been given
the right to transfer to the volunteer
naval reserves In what Is known as
class six, a status which Is without
pay.
"The navy department has no
thought whatever of permanently
giving up the naval reserve force, but
has been forced to adopt seemingly
drastic measures to cope with the
situation with which it Is confronted."

GONFEHENG
Ruffian Attacks Drug Store Em
ploye on Way Home From Work
and Snatches Her Purse.
The shotgun squad and other police,
with orders to make a coroner's case
of it, last night began searching for
a ruffian who attacked Beatrice Hut
ton. 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
R. Hutton. 266 Sixteenth street, mo
tive robbery. No coherent account of
the affair could be drawn from the
girl last night, who was reported A
be in a semi-conscious state and un
der the care of two physicians.
Miss Hutton was on her way home
from a drug store at Thirteenth and
Jefferson streets, where she Is em
ployed. She had Just been paid off,
and it was assumed that her assail
ant saw her put the money in her
purse and followed her as she left the
store. Accompanied by her cousin,
Donald Buhman. 10, she was walking
along the south side of Jefferson
street between Fourteenth and Six
teenth streets, when the robber at
tacked, without warning, from the
rear. The boy was unable to tell
accurately what happened, but he
saM the man seized Miss Hutton's
puree, and as he did so ehe threw
up her arms and fell to the sidewalk,
where she lay while he ran home to
notify her parents. All was over so
quickly that he could not explain how
she received the blow on the head.
Physicians found a painful contusion
over the left ear.
The robber made his escape by
dashing into and through an apart
ment house at 294 Jefferson street.
The house was searched by detec
tives, who were of the opinion that
he went through the building, using
it to cover his escape. In the purse
which he obtained were $10 in cash
and a number of keepsakes.
When detectives endeavored to
question Miss Hutton they found her
in euch a hysterical condition that
they abandoned the attempt. At each
question she- went further into a
frenzy of fear, crying out:
"Get away; get away. Don't touch I
me, you brute."
At a late hour last night Mrs. Hut
ten reported the girl still to be only
semi-conscious, with lapses of mem
ory and hysterics.
ROBBER PUT TO FLIGHT
Intended Victim Hits Highwayman
on X ore Man Flees.
One attempted robbery and one rob
bery were reported to the police last
night.
J. Manheimer, 733 Kearney street,
said that he was accosted between
East Thirteenth and Fifteenth streets
on Beech street by a highwayman,
who demanded his watch and money.
When Manheimer noticed that the
robber did not carry a gun he hit the
man on the nose with his fist and the
highwayman took to flight.- At that
moment a pedestrian neared the scene
and another man, apparently the high
wayman's companion, Jumped from
behind a woodpile and also took to
flight..
Oust Kahros, 263 East Eighty
fifth street, said that he was held
up and relieved of $7.25 by a young
man who was ainmasked. The hold
up occurred on .East Yamhill street.

ULSTER POSSIBLE BLOCK
Serious Attempt to Be Made to Set
tle Irish Question in Manner
Acceptable to All.
LONDON, Oct. 10. (By the Associ
ated Press.) The premier and other
representatives of the British govern
ment and the delegates of the Dail
Eireann will face each other across
the conference table in the cabinet
room at the premier's official resi
dence tomorrow morning.
Mr. Lloyd George, members of the
cabinet and several officials of the
Irish office discussed this afternoon
tomorrow's conference. It Is under
stood the procedure favored is 1
speech of welcome by the premier,
after which he will outline the meth
ods the government proposes for deal
ing with the various phases of the
question. Arthur Griffith, the Sinn
Fein leader. Is expected to reply.
The programme for the first day
takes the form of open conversation
with a view to arriving at some defi
nite basis,' upon which negotiations
looking to an Irish settlement can
proceed.
Some Controversy Likely.
Either side may raise some contro
versial subject. There is the question
of the release of the interned men.
One delegate said today It was not
the Intention to mention this subjfot
for the present. Nevertheless, the
government Is preparing a'ftply- yo
such a request and hap summoi!
Uunoral Sir Nevil McCready and Gen.
eral Tudor of the forces in Ireland
and the head of the police from Dub
lin to advise the government. Bhould
the proposal be made.
The services of these generals will
also be useful when arrangements are
suggested for stricter observance of
the truce, which both the government
and the Sinn Felners desire. Both
generals have been charged by the
Sinn Fein with provoking the people
and their orders to come to London
confirm the impression that the in
tention is to avoid all causes of fric
tion. lister May lit Invited. -
Mr. Lloyd George also has been pub.
licly asked to bring , before the con
ference the Sinn Fein boycott on Eng
lish goods, which has been detrimental
to British trade and has caused much
Irritation here. It is not likely the
conference will concern itself with
this at this stage or that the Sinn Fein
will agree to remove the boycott ex
cept as part of trade policy .following
upon a settlement.
The cabinet is said to have discussed
today the possibility of extending the
f-cope of the conference and inviting
Ulster to send delegates. This is a
matter for the premier to decide. The
Sinn Fein delegates are here only as
the spokesmen of those they represent
and the premier might invite Sir
James Craig, the Ulster premier. Lord
Midleton, representative of the South
cf Ireland unionists, and Sir Horace
Plunkett. dominion home ruler, and
their friends.
Sinn Fein lllntat Object.
The Sinn Fein has not assented to
any Joint conference and it Is de
clared would object strongly to form
ing one of a three or four-party con
ference. The Irish delegates would,
they say, make great concessions to
secure a united Ireland. Mr. de Va
lera is believed to have a plan of
lecal self-government for Ulster
within an Irish state, more attractive
to the northeast than Its present
status, and it is probable that this
will be put forward at the conference.
The real crux, as stated by un offi
cial today, is not finance or the ex
tent of Ulster's local powers, but
necessary severance of Ulster from
the imperial parliament, where it now
has representation it desires to main
tain The Sinn Fein desires no represen
tation In the Imperial parliament, and
it it accepts a place in the British
commonwealth, It desires no clos?r
affiliation than Canada and other do
minions. The Sinn Feiners dej'ari
they are bound to set forth Ireland's
claim for complete separation, whih
they have pointed out. Is their man
date from their constituencies. Any
recession from that position will be
made at a price bringing in Ulster,
and the Ulster question thus is ex
pected to assume Importance and may
again prove the stumbling-block to a
settlement.
Old Conflict Recalled.
The British delegation 'ncludts
three liberals. David Lloyd George,
Winston Spencer Churchill and b:r
Hamar Greenwood, all of whom took
part In framing Mr. Asqulth's hoinv
rule bill, which Austen Chamberlain,
Lord Birkenhead and Sir Lam'ng

fought so bitterly against, on Ulster's
beha'.f. Since that time, however. Mr

At two aniV'i)'wnty no foreboding
imagination shatters the nerve with
Its mocking whisper of failure or do
feat. llrooklyn Kid Wine Glory.
So It was that yourtjr Walte Hoyt,
the Brooklyn kid, agajn'
the rim of morning to'
rushing Giants anad b
tne leit-nandcr, in a
brought him even greater ;ory than
hH two-hit victory of las(fwcek.
For In that first gamo llojet rarely
etepped into hostile drumfire, winning
at long range with the ro.ywlde
open. Today he found himst-V: a
sw irl of hammering bats, .' 'hvat it
lVasj all hand-to-hand at close quar
ters,, and skill had to call upon iron
ncrvo to survive the test. In his
f:rst test the kid showed surpassing
skill, but today, fighting from trench
to trench, where It was all hand
Stt'tindo or the bayonet, he had to
prove good again tho enduring worth
cf raw courage from the first man
up to the last man down, and that
hist man was the redoubtable George
l'.urns. whom the youngster fanned
in a pinch.
Hoyt Often Surrounded.
Hoyt won by the score of 3 to 1.
If he had faltered or wavered at any
stop of his Journey through the heavy
tthariows the hard fighting Giants
would have smothered' him beneath
an avalanche of runs. In six of the
nine inninKS tho Giants had Hoyt
surrounded and cut off from supplies,
charging- desperately to break down
his guard, as on each occasion he
turned them back In rout without an
extra quiver to his pulse.
Thl game should go down In the
records as the story of two rljrht
aims. For Hoyt was not the only
Rifleman in tho platoon. While the
entry from Krasmus hall was sniping
tho Giants from his place In the box,
unothcr sniper from right field must
not be overlooked. By two of the
greatest throws that ever cut down a
runner under full steam Bob Meusel
came to his pitcher's aid and shat
tered two threatening rallies in the
nick of time.
Hums Nailed at Plate.
The first was a classic that must
take Its place among the star plays
of all time. The Giants had already
scored in the first. In tho second
with two out LI urns had whipped a
s:ncle to risht and Rancroft, on the
hit and run. had pumped a line drive
to the same field. As Meusel dug
up the ball Burns was on his way to
third with Rancroft turning first to
watch tho throw. But In place of
snapping , tho ball to second the big
Californian faked a throw to Ward
and then by sheer daring, with Ran
croft well off guard, he whirled and
fired the ball at Pipp. Tills sensa
tional play forced the Giant star Into
a chase between first and second and
when Rums attempted to score from
third he was nailed at the plate as
the budding rally went to seed. No
letter piece of strategy ever worked
Its way into a series, for Meusel's
acting as he faked tho first
throw was as perfect as his
pc? to I'ipp. Later on in the
eighth ho nipped George Kelly
at second with another highly spec
tacular peg and as his long double
scored Babe Ruth and paved tho vic
torious highway with two runs he
must be lifted to a niche In base
ball's halls of fame on a line with
Hoyt. The almost dismembered Habo
was in the throes of an afternoon he
will never forget. His arms and legs
were only hanging by a thread as
he worked his way through the con
test. At any moment It looked as
If he might break Into eight or ten
pieces and clutter up the ball, field
with his scattered remains. Nehf
fanned him three times before the
sun went down, but after all It was
the Babe's speed that gave the Yanks
their winning lead.
