LAXITY 111 BUSINESS
OF SCHOOL HINTED
Probe Into Work of Captain
Edmonstone to Be Asked.
MR. SHULL BACKS MOVE
Director Has Resolution Prepared
to Be Introduced Tonight Ke
t. questing Investigation.
Mismanagement of the department
cf properties of school district Jfo 1,
under the supervision of Captain
Gcorg-e Edmondstonc, la broadly Inti
mated ina resolution to be presented
to the school board tonight by Di
rector ShuM. Routine procedure will
pass the resolution on to a special
committee of Inquiry, which will con
sider the various reports that have
been received respecting the laxity
with which Captain Edmondstone is
said to have administered his depart
ment. "I have no statement to make," said
Captain Edmondstone when informed
of the action, proposed by Director
iihull. "The charges will be found
irroundless when thoroughly Investl
KStedX For the present I must con
tent myeelf with a broad denial. The
entire story is an untruth."
Inquiry Held 'Warranted.
Director Shull declined to discuss
the reports upon which his resolution
la based, at least In detail, but was
equally emphatlo in asserting that
there Is abundant evidence to warrant
an Inquiry. One of the chief abuses
in the department of properties, he
jsaid, has been the employment of
workmen, at outside tasks while pre
sumably engaged) In school tasks.
"It would) be foolish for me to lay
all my card's on the table Just now,"
mid Director ShulL "It is enough to
say that an inquiry Is warranted1 by
many reports that have come to me,
the nature of which I cannot make
publio until the Investigation is In
progress. A great many things are
wrong with the department. Captain
Kdmondstone has caused! the depart
ment to lose money that It should not
have lost largely by permitting; work
to cost more than It should."
Resolution Is Quoted.
Tho text of the resolution follows:
"Resolved, That an Investigation of
the department of properties be made
at an early date, particularly as to re
ports that competent employes have
been discharged: without cause; that
men-in the employ of the board' have
been engaged in work not connected
with the schools on school time; and
to determine whether the cost of con
ducting the department of properties
is excessive undier the present man
agement." Captain Edmondstone's authority is
broad, covering ail building and main
tenance work, school cafeterias. Jani
tor service, and general repair work.
For some months the omens have been
set for such an inquiry as now is
launchedi. Frequently complaints have
been made that the department of
properties and the business depart
ment were not In harmonious rela
tion, andi that regular reports were
not submitted by the former. At a
recent session of the school board the
issue was raised by an item of $150
as salary for George Spencer,super--visor
. of cafeterias, whose appoint
ment at such salary had not been au
thorized. SCHOOL HALL USE ASKED
Itoseburg Directors Kxpect to Mod
ify Auditorium Kule.
' ROSEBURG. Or., Nov. 15. (Spe
cial.) A resolution modifying a
standing order of the school board
regarding the use of the high school
auditorium Is expected at a special
meeting of the board to be held next
Thursday. For the past few years
the school board has barred all en
tertainments from the auditorium ex
cept those fostered' by the schools or
parent-teacher organizations of the
Oity.
This has caused considerable con
troversy In the past and at last
nlprht'8 meeting of the board a dele
gation appeared asking that the rule
be changed to permit benefit enter
tainments by the Red Cross, Library
association, American Legion, Music
club, Lyceum bureau and other pub
lic organizations. The board Is to
meet a special committee appointed
by the delegation In a meeting
Thursday and at that time a modified
order is expected.
WOOL SHORTAGE FEARED
Canadian Clip Practically Sold,
With Demands Increasing.
' VANCOUVER, B. C. Nov. 15. (Spe
cial.) Canadian wool interests fore
cast a decided shortage of wool be
fore the next clip comes in. Owing to
the Fordney tariff -Australia has
ceased to ship wool to this country or
the United States, as it was feared
the Canadian wool could not be ab
sorbed by the home market, but this
calculation has been wrong and the
Canadian market is now next door to
being short of wool.
Last week the United States mar
Vet, despite the Fordney tariff, was
Inquiring for wool In Canada, report
ing that the mills are all busy, ex
cepting those making women's dress

RARELY Is the opportunity given
to see a picture so artistically
perfect and so compelling in
dramatic force as "The Conquering
Power," which Is still playing to
crowded houses at the Columbia the
ater. "The Conquering Power'1 was pro
duced by Rex Ingram, whose remark
able presentation of "The Four Horse
rr.en of the Apocalypse" will always
be remembered. Mr. Ingram has taken
an entirely different type of story in
"The Conquering Power," but it is in
many ways superior to his earlier
production. The story has a simplic
ity that is one of its principal charms,
since It gives a chance for the actors
to betray emotions with a sincerity
seldom seen in motion picture pro
ductions. Alice Terry as Eugenie Grandet dis
plays a dignity and restraint that
mark her acting as exceptional. Her
beauty has never been displayed to
better advantage and in the role of
the young French girl, whose miserly
fr.ther denies her happiness, she dem
onstrates her right to stardom.
Rudolph Valentino, handsome and
debonair, plays the lover, Charles,
with magnetism and telling effect In
the tense scenes. Ralph Lewis has a
difficult role as the miserly father,
and rises to great heights In the death
scene, where he is literally crushed
by the gold which he has been hoard
ing for years.
'The Conquering Power, is a screen
adaptation by June Mathis of Bal
rac's "Eugenie Grandet." It is an In
tensely dramatic story of family life,
a story of love and greed against the
background, of a French provincial
town. -The village and the Grandet
t.ouse, which Balzac describes so viv
idly, live again on the screen. The

on Stand in Trial of Alleged
Murderer of Deputy.
Tho second day In the trial of Dan
Casey on a charge of murdering
James Henry Phillips disclosed evi
dence paralleling- that produced by
the prosecution in the first trial.
Harry Patterson, Itinerant laborer,
aged 68, and Herman T. Sohnelder,
friend and co-worker with Phillips,
were star witnesses for the state.
Patterson positively identified
Casey as the taller of the two men
he had observed In the St. Johns rail
road yards a few hundred feet from
the scene of the fatal shooting only
a few moments before the firing be
gan. He also declared that John L.
Burns, who is to be tried later for
alleged complicity in the shooting,
was the other man.
Schneider said that Casey greatly
resembled the taller of a pair he saw
running from the scene of the shoot
ing a moment or so afterward.
- A heated exchange of words which
came near to blows occurred during
the afternoon when Attorney Leon
ard, appearing with Seneca Fouts for
the defense, accused a witness of
winking at Elton Watklns, special
prosecutor. Watklns thought Leon

the witness and called Leonard a

FLING AT OFFICIALS
' OF STATE IS TAKEN
Non - Partisans Gather in
Mass Convention:
C. E. SPENCE IS INDORSED
Master of Grange Put Forth as
League's Candidate for Gov
ernor of Oregon.
"Put a hog-slopper in the gover
nor's chair and others in the legis
lature and there'll be a different tune
in this state," declared H. H. Stell
ard, state manager of the non-partisan
league, which held a mass state
convention in the labor temple yes
terday. The convention indorsed
Charles E. Spence, master of the state
grange, for governor, subject to find
ing someone else before next March
when the league proposes holding a
nominating convention.
Three subjects were discussed at
the mass convention, which numbered
about 100 men and three women. One
was the matter of indorsing Mr.
Spence; the second! was a defense of
what the league has done to North
Dakota, and tne third was criticism
of the press.
Fanuni' Man Wanted.
"You must capture the political
power of the state," charged Mr.
Stellard, who came to Oregon during
the summer and Is now running the
league in Oregon. "I've come to the
conclusion that the time Is here to
put a man in the governor's chair
who knows the Interests of the
farmers."
Mr. Stellard was in the midst of
his speech to the convention, extol
ling the patriotism of A. C. Townley
and attacking the "monopolistic" and
capitalistic bunch" and the federal
reserve system, when R. E. Cherrlch
of Barlow gummed the cards. Mr.
Cherrlch had, a few minutes before.
been elected as secretary of the con
vention, but when Mr. Stellard began
talking the need of a governor up
popped the man from Barlow and
proposed the nomination of Charles
E. Spence. Mr. Stellard. looked an
noyed and disgusted at the interrup
tion. J. D. Brown, chairman, looked
at the secretary and before anyone
could stop him Mr. Cherrlch fished
a paper from bis pocket and read It
as a resolution indorsing Mr. Spence
and calling on Mr. Spence's friends
to circulate nominating petitions.
Candidates Held Picked."
"I move," said the author of tle
document, "the adoption of the reso
lution.
"I hadn't expected so great an In
terference," complained the state
manager. Then "We don't Indorse
candidates; we pick 'em."
Someone suggested that it wouldn't
hurt to indorse Mr. Spence, but if the
league finds a better man, the in
dorsement can be disregarded. H. D.
VVagnon suggested that the conven
tion was considering and not indors
ing. Finally Chairman Brown put
the motion to adopt the resolution
endorsing the master of the state
grange and it carried, there being a
dozen or so "ayes" and two "noes."
Mr. Stellard had oniy temporarily
blocked the Spe'nce movement, for,
after he resumed his speech, which
wound up with an appeal for money
to pay for literature, Mr. Spence's
admirers took the floor and gave
testimony regarding his qualificatons.
Assurance was given by J. J. Ryan
of Clackamas, that Mr. Spence has
backbone and would veto every meas
ure not In the interest of the tax
payers. New State Regime Urged.
"He's been master of the grange for
eight years and could be re-elected If
he wanted it," said Mr. Ryan. "We
ought to elect Spence and a new attorney-general
and a new secretary
of state and all the rest and we ought
to get new men on the supreme court
and clean out the whole gang." (Ap
plause.) "Spence," contributed Dr. A. Slaugh
ter of Salem, "was one of the men who
invited the non-partisan league to
Oregon several years ago, and he de
fended the league at the Salem meet
ing of the state grange. One reason
I'm opposed to the primary law is be
cause people run themselves for offiee
the people ought to draft their can
didates." A man from Hood River informed
the meeting that he had heard that
the labor organizations of Hood River
"will stay with Spence to the last"
J. E. Sinclair of Aurora protested at
wnat he designated as snap Judg
ment In adopting the resolution." He
explained that he has nothing against
Mr. Spence, but as the league Is to
hold a nominating convention in
March to make up its ticket, adoption
of the Cherrlch resolution on the spur
of the moment was likely to make the
mass state convention look like a
Joke in the eyes of outsiders.
North. Dakota Extolled.
Having thus brought out a candi
date, and the collection for financing
pamphlets being successful, the plat
form was given to Dr. Slaughter to
show that the condition of the farmer
In North Dakota Is paradise com
pared to the condition of the down
trodden Oregon farmer. The doctor
after discussing the taxes of the two
states declared that North Dakota had
the beat war record In the country.
"And when the boys came home," said
the doctor, warming up, "3750.000 was
raised by taxes so that every returned
soldier could have 325 a month. North
Dakota didn't vote millions of dol
lars of bonds for bonus, like Oregon
did, nor have a commission with 13
rooms in the bank building at Salem,
to distribute the money."
. The doctor Just couldn't see any
thing good' in Oregon as compared
with North Dakota. He charged that
there has been nothing but class leg
islation for years, legislation by the
professional class. He predicted that
the league in Oregon has a fight
ahead and, becoming impressive, he
ended with saying that a leaguer was
tarred and feathered in Washington
and no one knew, what may happen in
this state-State-Owned
Banks Favored.
The principal purpose of the league
is to take the power out of the hands
cf special privilege and restore it to
the people, asserted Mr. Stellard. He
stressed the league programme, saying
that "state-owned banks are the big
thing." The state-owned banks, he
explained, can be financed the same
as the 1925 fair, and if the fair can be
financed by taxation, so can the state
banks. In his remarks Mr. Stellard
Indicted the federal reserve system
"as the most vicious thing ever put on
the American people."
William Bouck. master of the Wash
ington State Grange, was invited to
speak. He told the farmers to give
a certain time every day to cultivating
their minds and getting acquainted
with their families. He charged
farmers with depriving their wives of
some of the pleasures which other
men afford, with the result that farm
women are prematurely old and worn
out and the daughters flee the farm
for the city, where they are subjected
to great temptations. The present
conditions are the fault of the farm
ers themselves, because they put in
all their time digging in the ground
and neglecting their brains and the
companionship of their families and
other farmers.
After the conclusion of Mr. Bouck's
brief talk Mr. Stellard announced that
the leaguers would hold an executive
session, bui if anyone present wanted
to remain he could do so by Joining
the league on the spot. Whereupon
Mr. Stellard pulled from his pocket a
membership receipt book and looked
up expectantly. '
CHINESE OF BAKER SL1
RESTAURANT KEEPER VICTIM
OF DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.
Two Men Seen in Place Sought by
Authorities as Murderers of
' Aged Oriental.
BAKER, Or., Nov. 15. (Special.)
Leon Chow, known as ."Sugarcane"
and owner of a Chinese restaurant,
was murdered in his place of busi
ness less than a block from the cen
ter of the Baker business district
late this morning. Two white men
reported to have been seen loitering
nearby are believed by the police to
be the slayers. Robbery Is thought
to have been the motive.
Shortly before 11 o'clock Judge
Duby, In passing, noticed "Sugar
cane" lying on the floor In a pool
of blood in the kitchen of the restau
rant and believing him to be dead
notified Undertaker West; an exami
nation found him to be alive, but un
conscious, with his skull fractured.
Police hold to the theory that a gas
pipe or similar Instrument was used.
His pockets were turned wrong-side
out. He did in a hospital here sev
eral hours later. Chinese say the
victim was 68 years old and had been
a resident of Baker county for 40
years.
At a table In the restaurant, places
were set for two and In the kitchen
were found two bowls, one filled with
noodles and the other empty. It is
the opinion of the city authorities
that "Sugarcane" was in tie kitchen
preparing orders for the men when
he was attacked from behind and
dragged himself to the door so that
he might be seen from the street.
The idea that the assault might be
the part of tong trouble was scouted
by both Chinese and police.
A Chinese in the restaurant a half
hour before the crime said a stout
man came to the door while he was
there, but left immediately. The Chi
nese reported that the stranger Joined
another man across the street. Both
were said to be young men. The
police and sheriff's force have scoured
the city all day for these men, but no
arrests were made. Three men who
left the city in a motor truck In the
direction of Huntington, police said,
will be arrested In the latter city
should they make their appearance
there.
TWO DRY AGENTS FINED
PAIR SAID TO HAVE BEEN
DRINKING IN RESTAURANT.
Two Girl Fugitives From Louise
Home Alleged to Have Been
With Officers at Time.
William D. Wambold and Albert C.
Dennis, special agents for the Law
and Order Enforcement league, were
fined WOO each In police court yes
terday on charges of disorderly con
duct and having liquor In their pos
session. Wambold was ordered to pay
an additional 325 for reckless driving.
The two special prohibition agents
were arrested Monday in a Fourth
street restaurant. When taken into
custody they were accompanied by
two girls who had escaped from the
Louise home for wayward girls ear
lier In the day. The girls were re
turned to the home.
Wambold told Judge Rossman he
had found the girls in the Mount
Scott district and had picked them
up because they were cold and hungry.
But from the fact that the two prohi
bition agents had partaken too freely
of the liquid evidence they had com
mandeered in their searches, the
court took but little stock In their
story of being good Samaritans.

LUMBERMEN TO ASK !
FREIGHT REDUCTION
Appeal to Interstate Com
merce Body Planned.
NEW SCHEDULE WANTED
West Coast Association. Complains
That Present Rate Table Is
Too Complicated.
Efforts are to be made Immediately
by the West Coast Lumbermen's as
sociation to obtain lower railroad
freight rates on lumber shipments to
various parts of the country from the
Pacific northwest. An appeal will be
taken before the interstate commerce
commission.
Announcement of the coming move
for lower freight rates, which prom
ises to be one of the most Important
since the general freight rate increase
of 1920, was made yesterday by the
association. The action was author
ized. It was announced, as the result
of a meeting of the governing board
of the association.
Simple Tariff Wanted.
The lumber industry of the north
west will not only ask for reasonable
rates, it was announced, but will also
petition the commission to authorize
simplified tariffs in the place of the
present tariff Involving 15.000 differ
ent rates to various markets reached
by rail. The complaint cites that the
continued existence of the lumber In
dustry of the north Pacific coast de
pends largely on the ability of the
Industry to market its products freely.
It alleges that a substantial reduction
in present rates is necessary.
The charge is also made that many
of the rates on lumber and other
forest products from the North Pa
cific coast in effect prior to August
25, 1920, were unjust and unreason
able and that such rate discrimina
tion was aggravated by the percent
age increases of August 26. 1920.
With reference to the action the
following statement was Issued by
the lumbermen's association:
This action should not be con
strued as a hostile move on the part
of the west coast lumber industry
against transcontinental roads. The
Industry has had a very keen appre
ciation of the recent difficult prob
lems of railroad management, and the
industry's policy has been and Is one
of co-operation rather than antag
onism. "Shippers of west coast forest prod
ucts have tried out the increased
rates now for more than a year, with
the result that the industry finds it
self losing markets and the railroads
losing revenue. After carefully an
alyzing the situation, the governing
board of the West Coast Lumbermen's
association was convinced that lower
rates would have a tendency toward
earning more revenue for the rail
roads, at the same time giving tin
east access to an abundant supply of
lumber with which to meet its hous
ing situation and. above all other con
siderations, it Is hoped that lower
freight rates will permit the stea-ly
employment of the 100.000 Pac'fic
northwest lumber Industry workers.
Unemployment in the industry at the
present time Is about 38 per cent and
seems to be Increasing."

ease in the central school of this

DARKEN GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe
Restore Color, Gloss and
Attractiveness.
to
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, bring back the natural color and
luster to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray. Years ago, the only
way to get this mixture was to make
It at home, which is mussy and trou
blesome. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth'e Sage and
Sulphur Compound," you will get a
large bottle of this famous old recipe.
Improved by the addition of other In
gredients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try It! No one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair
disappears, and after another applica
tion or two your hair becomes beau
tifully dark, glossy and attractive.
