RIOT
Both Sides Admit Breaches
of Truce.
DISCUSSION IS FRIENDLY
Settlement Declared Likely to
Follow Lines ' Suggested
by General Smuts.
LONDON. Oct. 11 (By the Asso
elated Freer) When the Irish con
terence resumes Its sessions totnor
row mornin? It probably will first
deal with the question of alleged
breaches of the truce, which have
been the subject of conversation to
day between members of the British
and Irish delegations.
It la agreed among; the delegates,
It was understood tonight, that
breaches have arisen on both sides,
Dublin castle having produced a list
of such- occurrences, which was com
pared with a list published by the
Irish Bulletin of breaches by auxil
iaries, the police and the military,
In the recent killings at Galway
and shootings resultant from an Irish
republican dance, it was conceded
that both Sinn Felners and crown
officers violated the truce by carry
lng arms.
Extension la Opposed.
The Irish representatives expressed
disfavor of any extension of the
original terms of the truce signed at
a-eneral headquarters In Dublin.
Today's conversations, In which
Eamonn J. Duggan, Sir Hamar Green
wood. Michael Collins, Sir Laming
Worthington - Evans, General Ma
cready and Robert C. Barton partici
pated, were quite friendly and har
monious, as were yesterday's discus
sions in conference.
The appointment today of Lionel
Curtis as one of the chief secretaries
on the government side, having a po
sltlon similar to that of John Chartres
on the Irish side, was taken to Indi
cate that the government approach
toward a settlement will follow the
lines indicated by General Jan Chris
tian Smuts, the South African premier.
Mr. Curtis, who is considered a great
authority on the Imperial federation,
took a prominent part in the framing
of the South African constitution. He
has spent much time in Ireland, his
wife being an Irish woman.
Veterans at Conference.
His joint secretary, Thomas Jones,
has had experience In Ireland as pro
fessor of economics in Queens uni
versity at Belfast. These two, with
Erskine Chllders and Mr. Chartres
both of whom served the British with
distinction during the war, will be
present at all sessions of the confer
ence.
CORK, Oct. 12. (By the Associated
Fress.) Lord Mayor O'Callaghan
speaking today at a meeting of the
Cork harbor board, moved the follow
lng resolution:
"We insist that Mr. Lloyd George's
protestations of a sincere desire for
peace between Ireland and Great
Britain cannot be accepted while his
government retains in prison and In
ternment camps thousands of untried
Irishmen."
P. B O'Brien, seconding the resolu
tion, said that the Irish hierarchy had
called up oh the British cabinet to re
lease these men for the sake of peace.
SENATOR KNOX IS DEAD
(Continued From Flint Page.)
storing peace with the central pow
ers. The senator's Influence and ad
vice was said to have largely been re
sponsible for the selection by Fresl
dent Harding of Andrew W. Mellon
of Pittsburg, as secretary of the
treasury.
It was Immediately after the final
refusal of the senate to ratify the
treaty of Versailles that Senator
Knox began his fight for the ending
of the technical state of war by reso
lution. Senator Knox's last Important ad
dress In the senate was In support
of his position that congress had the
power and upon it devolved the duty
to end the status of war by resolution.
PLACES HELD IX CABIXETS
Active Part Taken In Fight Against
Treaty Ratification.
Philander C. Knox was attorney
general in the cabinets of Presidents
McKlnley and Roosevelt, secretary of
state In the cabinet of President Taft
and in the interim between those two
offices and afterward was United
States senator.
Senator Knox was an active figure
in the fight in the senate In 1919 and
1920 against the ratification of the
peace treaty of Versailles. Even
when the treaty was being drawn up
he delivered speeches In the senate
and out of it in which he demanded
that the league of nations covenant
should be separated from the other
part of the treaty. He introduced a
resolution to that effect which was
adopted by the senate and also pre
sented a resolution against the ap
pointment of American representa
tives on the reparations commission.
He Also drafted one of the various
resolutions submitted to the senate
for adopting the treaty with reserva
tions. Subsequently, Senator Knox was
the author of a resolution adopted
by the senate in May, 1920, declaring
peace with Germany. This also was
vetoed by President Wilson.
Senator Knox first came into na
tional prominence when In 1901 Presi
dent McKlnley appointed him as attorney-general.
. He retained that of
fice under President Roosevelt until
1904 when he resigned to accept an
appointment as United States senator
from Pennsylvania to succeed the
late Senator Quay.
As attorney-general he established
a record for prosecutions of trusts and
combinations and in actions against
railroads to prevent rebates and dis
crimination in rates.
Notable among his achievements
while in this office was his suit
agali st the Northern Securities com
pany, a corporation organised for the
purpose of combining the Northern
Pac.fic and Great Northern railroada
He brought the government action to
dissolve the merger and after a long
legal fight beginning in 1902 he won
the case in the United States circuit
court.
Mr. Knox also waged a notable fight
against the combination of seven beef
corporations against whom he brought
action in that year (1902). charging
them with being in conspiracy in re
,straint of trade. He obtained injunc
tions against the defendants which
were made permanent on appeal to the
United States supreme court and the
combination was ordered to be dis
solved. Soon after Mr. Knox instituted
proceedings against 11 railroad cor
porations charging them with being
in combination in restraint of trade
and finally won all the suits. His
friends declare that he was a pioneer
in the movement to control corpora
tions. It was upon lis recommenda
tion that congress amended the law
against railroads so as to punish
them for' granting rebates, extend
the authority of courts to enjoin the
carriers against making discrimina
tory rates and permit the federal
courts to give precedence, to cases
of great Importance to the public.
These actions made him a powerful
factor In the war against unfair
practices by corporations which, was
the outstanding feature of that pe
riod of President Roosevelt's admin
istration. His own views on these powerful
combinations were expressed in an
address at that time in which he de
clared that over-capitalization was
the most conspicuously evil feature
of the trusts, but that other factors
which contributed to their ill-effect
upon the public were lack of public
ity of operation, discrimination In
prices designed to eliminate competi
tion, a tendency to monopolize trade
in their lines and failure to appre
ciate that they owed any service to
the public.
"My purpose," he declared, "is to
show that we are not hopelessly help
less to deal with serious problems
which confront us.
Mr. Knox has been credited by torn
with having "actually carrie
through" the purchase of the Panama
canal for 140,000,000, which was an
achievement of the Roosevelt admin
lstratlon. As attorney-general, Mr.
Knox went to Paris and ascertained
that the new Panama Canal company
held a clear title to convey the canal
This enabled the United States to pro
ceecl with the purchase.
Mr. Knox was appointed United
States senator in 1904. As secretary
of state in President Taft's cabine
he inaugurated an active policy of
aiding the extension of American
trade with foreign countries, which
was characterized as "dollar diplo
macy," a designation Intended In de
rlsion but of which Secretary Knox
afterward declared he was proud. He
proposed that an arbitral court be
established at The Hague and tha
the Manchurian railway be neutral
ized, and approved the plan for the
Central American court of justice for
maintaining peace in Central America.
He negotiated arbitration treaties
with France and Great Britain and
made a notable trip to Central Amer
lean countries, Colombia and Vene
zuela. In 1?12 he was assigned to
attend the funeral of Emperor Mut-
suhlto of Japan, as representative of
the United States government. One
of the features of his secretaryship
was the dispute with Great Britain
over the proposal to exempt Amer
ican coastwise shipping from payment
of tolls for use of the Panama canal
Mr. Knox was born at Brownsville,
Pa., on May 6, 1853, and was named
after a noted Episcopal bishop. Phi
lander Chase. He was graduated from
Mount Union college. Alliance, O.. in
1872. admitted to the bar in 1875, ap
pionted by President Grant as assist
ant United States attorney for the
western district of Pennsylvania, but
resigned in 1877 and formed a law
partnership with James H. Reed un
der the name of Knox need, in
which he is said to have enjoyed
very lucrative practice. Many stories
are told to Illustrate his skill as
lawyer which he afterward placed at
the service of the United States In
his capacity as attorney-general.
His home is at Pittsburg and he has
a farm at Valley Forge, Pa. He had
been a trustee of Mount Union col
lege and a member of numerous clubs
In Pittsburg and New York. In 1876
he married Llllie, daughter of An
drew D. Smith of Pittsburg, by whom
he had one daughter, Eleanor, wife of
R. Tlndle, and three sons, Reed
Knox, Hugh S. Knox and Philander
C. Knox Jr.

Senator Walsh Declares Treaty Will
Not Stop Controversy Be
tween Two Countries.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 12. Rati
fication of the German peace treaty
within the next few days was fore
cast tonight by leaders of both sides
after a canvass of the senate had
been completed. A vote on the treaty
had been expected by Friday or Satur
day at the latest, but in view of the
death of Senator Knox, some delay is
expected in the action of the senate.
A safe margin above the necessary
two-thirds majority for, ratification
was claimed by the treaty's advo
cates. Fourteen democratic votes, it
was said, would be cast for ratifica
tion with a loss to the republican side
of only three or four against ratifica
tion. . Treaty Gets Itlght-of-Way.
Senator Lodge, republican leader,
discussed the handling of the treaty
with Senator Underwood, democratic
floor leader, and later announced, the
treaty would be given exclusive right-of-way
beginning not later than Fri
day, when the unanimous consent
agreement, made some time ago, lim
iting each senator's time to one hour,
will become effective.
, Comparatively few senators, it was
said, plan to make addresses and it
was highly probable, leaders declared,
that a final vote could be had on res
ervations and ratification late Fri
day or almost certainly on Saturday.
Little time subsequently, it was said,
would be required to act on the Aus
trian and Hungarian treaties, with
Immediate votes after disposal of the
German treaty a possibility. l
Walsh Opposes Pact.
Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana,
spoke at length today against ratifi
cation. He declared the treaty "use
less as well as vicious" and argued
that it reserved privileges without
assuming legal obligations, but en
tailed moral duties unescapable. His
principal objection, he said, was that
it provided for disarmament of Ger
many without pledging the United
States to protect Germany against
aggression, as other nations wece
pledged in the Versailles treaty.
SEPARATE TREATY OPPOSED

Ratification by Senate.
NEW YORK. Oct. 12. The Wood
row Wilson democracy, organized to
promote international peace and fa
voring entry, of the United States into
the league of nations, announced to
night through its president, Hamilton
Hoit, that its executive committee on
October 7 has declared its opposition
to ratification by the senate of a sep
arate treaty of peace with Germany.
Mr. Holt was directed to forward a
copy of this declaration to every senator.

SISTER IDENTIFIES SCALP
tContlnued From Firm Page )
shipment of boxes at UUlaid, a few
miles south of Roseburg on the eve
ning of July 13, when he saw Dr.
Brumfleld's big red automobile going
south on the Pacific highway in the
direction of the cabin of Dennis
Russell.
When he had finished his work.
Mr. Steltzer started for home. He
told how he had, driven through a
large pool of blood just beyond Rus
sell's cabin. He met Brumfield's big
red car coming back to Roseburg and
testified that he had seen what
looked like a bundle of bedding or
camping equipment sticking out over
the side of the car. Cross-examina
tion by Attorney Rice of the defense
failed to shake his testimony.
W. R. Bowman of Roseburg, who
has been considered the star witness
of the prosecution, was put on the
stand late this afternoon, but failed
to contribute as much as was ex
pected of bim in the matter of testi
mony, due principally to the skillful
cross-examination of Attorney Rice.
Woman Tkoafht In Car.
On the night of the murder Mr.
Bowman drove to Riddle with his
wife and a party of friends. En route
they met Dr. Brumfleld. whom they
overtook on the road when he stopped
his car.
As we drove up, I thought the
doctor was on the floor of his car
fixing something." said Bowman.
the impression that Dr. Brumfleld
was having a little boose party, for
his face was deathly white and I
believe there was a woman crouched
down in the right hand front seat of
the machine.
"As Brumfleld started his car with
a crashing and ripping of gears, I
yelled 'Look out. Doc!'"
Liquor Party Saspected.
"The car was on its way down the
road at a fast rate of speed and a
zig-zagging all over the road. This
confirmed my belief that it was a
booze party. I still think there was
a woman in that car with herfeet
sticking out."
On cross-examination, the testimony
of Mr. Bowman today was compared
with the reporter's record of his
sta ments at the coroner's jury. It
was apparent that much of the bene
fit of the witness to the state was
lost through this comparison, which
showed that Mr. Bowman's statements
were cor fused in several important
instances.
Percy Webb, deputy sheriff and spe
cial agent for the state at thus trial.
was ths first witness called this
morning. He corroborated the testi
mony of Coroner Ritter regarding the
finding of the headless corpse and
the wrecked car on the night pt
July 13.
Mr. Webb told of finding three
sticks of dynamite In Muddy creek
when he lifted out the body of Rus
ell. The dynamite was on ths table
of the court reporter as evidence.
Court Doesn't Like Explosive".
"I don't like to have explosives
around very much," said Judge Bing
ham. The dynamite sticks were given
to Sheriff Starmer with Instructions
that they be stored somewhere out
side the courthouse. The action was
another example of the careful super
vision of the triaTby Judge Bingham,
who has made it known on several
nr.lnn, that' he will take every
precaution to prevent some snforseen
hindrance to the proceedings.
Ed. and J. T. Russell, brothers or tne
murder victim, took the stand for a
short time. Their testimony was pnn
clDallv for the purpose of establish
ing the identification of the body of
the deceased as that of Dennis Rus
sell. Dr. E. B. Stewart and Dr. George
Houck. who performed the autopsy
on Russell's body, were questioned
about the condition of the corpse.
They told of removing a bullet from
the chest cavity of the body and said
that the two bullet wounds in it had
been inflicted after death.
Another slight victory for the de
fense was recorded in the testimony
of A. J. Willard, Roseburg barber,
who did all t!ie barber work for Den
nis Russell. Willard was unable to
give proof that he could positively
tell the difference between the hair
of a human and an animal by means
of a small sample.
The other witnesses called today
repeated testimony they had given
twice before, and which has been
published. Through small Individual
bits of testimony, the prosecution got
its case well along ii workable form
preparatory to the more important
programme of the next group of wit
nesses. .
Another record-breaking crowd
filled the courtroom today. The great
majority of the 400 spectators were j
women, some of whom found seats
on the courtroom floor in order to be I
present.
Laughter Causes Threat.
Several times today a wave of
laughter swept over the audience,
after some remark by a witness that
would not be laughable under any
other circumstances. The amusement
