John Arthur O'Connor Who Cared
tor Many Derelicts Murdered
by Ouo lie Befriended.
John Arthur O'Connor will not greet
Ills soldier son on the return of the
lad from service with the American
forces in Germany. Though he sold
a team of horses for $50. with which
he intended to celebrate the event,
the homecoming at Christmas will be
aurrounded with heartache and tears.
The father is dead, slain for that lot),
which aroused the cupidity of a hobo
to whom the old man had offered
Shelter.
The body of 0-Connor was dis
covered bv Deouty Sheriff Bert Sat
trdiiy morn In sr. doubled up and
forced to the bottom of a potato bin
In the lonely shack in which the old
man had lived, about one-quarter of
mile west of the Interstate bridge
approach to Hayden island. The head
had been crushed with an ax and the
throat slashed from ear to ear. A
blood-smeared butcher knife was at
the side of the corpse in the bin.
O'Connor had been dead almost a
week.
Victim Kindly Old Man.
A kindly old man. who believed in
human brotherhood, and whose mean
home was a refuge for many derelicts
as they halted In their wanderings,
O'Connor was liked and respected by
those on the Island who had become
acquainted with him during his two
months' residence there. He had come
trom The Dalles, neighbors believed,
and before that had lived in Astoria
and in Vancouver, B. C. He was
about 65 years old.
For many days the old man had
been in a flutter of excitement at the
impending return of his son. The
boy, John Arthur O'Connor Jr had
written that he was to be discharged
and might be home by Christmas. A
scrawny team of horses was sold for
150. It was to be spent in making
the boy's Christmas with his father
a happy one. In his gladness, O'Con
nor told many people of his plans
and often displayed the $50 with
which he was to buy happiness. He
told his hopes to one of his tempo
rary lodgers, a lean, sneering in
dividual with rat-eyes, a man about
hi years old.
O'Connor Not Been for Week.
At 6 o'clock Saturday afternoon, a
week ago, O'Connor last was seen
by John Bohlen, a neighbor on the
Island, when he borrowed a saw with
which to make some changes in the
Interior of his home In anticipation of
a permanent boarder. When days
jiassed and nothing more was heard
from O'Connor, Bohlen, who usually
saw the old man every day, became
worried. Together with L. P. Elison,
watchman for the Hayden Island Im
provement company, they went to his
home and found doors and windows
locked. No one answered their
knocks.
Finally, Elison reported to Sheriff
Hurlburt's office that the man was
missing. Deputy Sheriff Bert entered
the hack Saturday morning and
found the body In the bin, burled
beneath several sacks of potatoes.
Deputies Christofferson and Schirmer
rushed to the scene. A blood-covered
ax and butcher knife were found.
Elgns of a scuffle were evident, blood
apotting the floor around the bed,
which was in disorder. A pair of
blood-soaked corduroy trousers, evi
dently property of the murderer, was
thrown under the bed.
The son from Coblens and a daugh
ter living in San Francisco, whose
name Is unknown, are the only rela
tives of O'Connor of which the au
thorities have any Information.

WAUKESHA, Wis.. Dec. 17. Mrs.
Frieda Zimmerman, mother of Ruth
Zimmerman, 7, and Elmer, 9, whose
bodies were found Friday In a cistern
at the Zimmerman home in Ocono
mowoc, was arrested today on a war
rant charging murder.
After questioning Mrs. Zimmerman
at the Oconomowoc jail, where she
was being held following the finding
of the bodies, , county authorities
took her to the home and told her
to re-enact what had happened. Mrs.
Zimmerman, they stated, told several
conflicting stories, but In the main
her version was that she and the
children were driving ducks when
one of the ducks fell into the cistern.
The children, she said, attempted to
rescue the duck and fell in. '
Coroner Lee charged that Mrs.
Zimmerman admitted she took no
steps to help the children and that
she told no one of the tragedy until
lier husband came home.
Mr. Zimmerman told the officers
that he and his wife had quarreled
last Sunday and that Mrs. Zimmer
man had exclaimed that "the children
-will be dead before I am."
Department of Agriculture Gives
Out Report of Unofficial
Grain Predictions.
WASHINGTON. D. C, Dec. 17. An
Argentine wheat crop of larger yield
to the acre than iast year was indi
cated in unofficial estimates received
today by tho department of agricul
ture. "Official estimates for the current
season in Argentina for the area of
wheat," the department said, "are
13,927.000 acres, or 92.8 per cent of
1920-21; the area of oats for 1921-22
Is 2.105,000 acres, or 102.2 per cent of
1920-21. and that of linseed for 1921
22 Is 3.892.000 acres or 111.7 per cent
of 1920-21. No official estimate for
the 1921-22 production Is as yet avail
able, but an unofficial estimate gives
the probable yield of wheat as 13.3
bushels an acre compared with 12
bushels in 1920-21, that of oats 22.1
bushels per acre compared with 23.1
in 1920-21. and linseed 9.9 bushels per
acre compared with 12.3 In 1920-21."
Prospects for the current Austra
lian wheat crop, the department said,
are very good and almost equal to
that of last year. The preliminary
official estimate for the crop is 146,
614,000 bushels, or 99.9 per cent of
last year.
The winter wheat crop has entered
the winter in good condition in Can
ada and some increase in acreage is
rtported, the department said. The
total area estimated as sown to fall
wheat for 1922 is 842,400 acres as
compared with 792.000 acres sown
last year and with 720.635 harvested
acres.
HOOVER ADVISES FAIR
Philadelphia Show Should Mark
Human, Not Material Progress.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 17. The pro
posed Sesquicentennlal exposition
here in 1926, commemorating the
signing of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, should be a demonstration
of human progress within the last 60
years, said Secretary Hoover in an
address today.
"To make the exposition a success,
he said, "we must have the co-operation
of foreign 'governments. Exhibi
tions of art, machinery and industrial
manufactures no longer attract for
eign governments because they do
not help in the sale of goods. The
governments are Interested mostly in
the human progress."
Three babes in the woods, bl ue with
cold and one of them ill and hysteri
cal, were rescued from the seemingly
trackless wilderness Saturday night
b the blue fairies. The wilderness
was that of the bustling city. The blue
fairies more of them later Then
there was another fairy, dressed In
greasy, begrimed overalls and of a
different sort from the blue fairies,
wno dropped nis monkey wrench an
summoned a lunch from a tin box
leaving his monsters of the wilder
ness untended while he befriended
tne babes.
Lawrence Bartlett, 19, his sister
rauune, 18, and James Beck, 22, were
found In the railroad yards about 9
f ciock Saturday nigh by Patrolmen
Nolan and Klopfensteln of the shotgun
squad. They were two of the blue
fairies, and of course, being fairies,
they knew instinctively that the three
babes were not ordinary vagrants.
So they sent them In to police head
quarters for the rest of the fairies to
oerriend.
ine fairy chief, called Jenkins,
cnanced into the lobby as the babes
arrived, and summoned his subjects
Into consultation. None there were
who believed aught but good of the
tnre-e babes, who were much fright
ened, iney did not know whether
tney were among friends or enemies.
A brief talk with Beck, and the
chief learned that the three were en
route from Tacoma to Marshfield
where Alonxo Bartlett, father of two
of the babes. Is a cobbler In the Bun
ker Hill neighborhood. Pauline bad
been 111 and had lost her job in a
restaurant. The Paul Lumber com
pany, where her brother and Beck
worked, cut down Its force and both
were thrown out of Jobs. Knowing
little of city ways, the three could see
only one way out. They must get to
Marshfield with Pauline. They had
no money, were actually hungry and
must act immediately, so they started
to hobo their way, handicapped by
the clck girl.
At 10 P. M. Friday they succeeded
in boarding a freight train which
reached Centralla at 2:30 o'clock the
next morning. A brief rest, during
which Beck begged the price of a
meal for them, and they caught a
Northern Pacific freight, reaching
Portland at 7:30 Saturday morning.
Beck had enlisted the brakeman in
his cause, and thereby procured com
fortable accommodations in a refrig
erator car loaded with potatoes.
There was a fire In the car, provided
to keep the spuds from being frost
bitten. Pauline slept soundly on the
way to Portland and the men were
very comfortable, they told the fairies.
Beck, who Is a cleancut chap and
world war veteran of marines,
worked with Lawrence in Tacoma,
contributed to doctor bills of his sis
ter and filled the position of elder
brother. He said he had known both
cf them In Marshfield for several
years, and had determined to see the
girl safely with her father. He
'aughingly denied that she was his
sweetheart, but did claim her as a
sister and was seconded by her real
brother.
Again In Portland they were con
tronted by chill and hunger. Thoughts
of the warm potato car and Its wealth
o' potatoes added to their misery.
Beck pawned his overcoat for 32.50
and the babes ate breakfast. Then
Lawrence pulled off his own shabby
toit and insisted that Beck wear it.
He refused to take no for an answer.
Beck's overcoat was the only article
possessed by any of the three upon
which they could obtain a penny.
Saturday night the three were in the
railroad yards laying pians to catch
s freight south when they were asked
their business by an engine wiper in
the roundhouse. They did not learn
his name. He promised to assist them
In boarding a freight, and before they
parted he divided his lunch with them..
Lawrence carried the food in his coat I
pocket, saving it against the hour of I
his sister's hunger. Then the greasy
?-iry returned to his t.".sk of wiping
engines and grinned as he thought of
the short lunch that awaited him.
When Patrolmen Nolan and Klop
fensteln found the three they were
bhlvering in the shadow of a freight
car, waiting for their opportunity to
t-nard a freight when it should be
made up. Lawrence held his sister
close, protecting her from the cold
the best he could, while his own thin
clothing left him with little protec
tion. He was a brother of whom any
fcirl might be proud, although his
Leauty was carefully hidden by In
scrutable providence He looked like
a bum, with his shock of black,
bristly and uncut hair sticking out
every which way. but he acted like a
brother. In the captain's office
Pauline clung to him and in a fit
approaching hysterics wept and twist
id his wrinkled black necktie askew.
Pauline probably weighed 97 pounds.
She had plainly been ill. Her hands
were blue, her cheeks were hectic and
the plain black dresn left a sunken
chest exposed to the weather. She
might have been pretty, weeks ago
when she left Marshfield to Join Law
rence in Tacoma, but last night she
was the most pathetic In the thou
sands that nightly flicker on the
screen of life at police headquarters.
Her nerves were taut, and it was with

difficulty that she could be persuaded Sproul, governor of Pennsylvania, to
to accompany the matron to the third
floor, where there Is a bed and batn
maintained for Just such emergencies.
She went unwillingly, even after Chief
Jenkins had assured her that he
would have a railway ticket- for her
when the next passenger train started
south.
The two men babes could not con
ceal their Joy when the girl babe fell
into such good luck. At first they re
fused assistance, although neither of
them had a cent, saying that they
could "beat it" to Marshfield that it
did not matter about them, anyway
But when the blue fairies, and some
in other colors, chipped in to supply
money for food, they pocketed it and
started for the freight yards. Pos
sibly the blue fairies compounded a
felony or something like that when
they told the pair of babes when the
next freight left, and urged them to
make it.
And the babes, had they not been
frightened in childhood by the-buga
boo: "Pollceman'll get you if you
don't watch out." would have known
all about the bins fairies and the soft
spot in their hearts for youngsters
who are clean In mind. Had they
known about the real fairies the girl
babe never would have suffered such
humiliation.

The meeting of your Pennsylvania club,
of which I happen to know something,
move me to send you a line of greeting
and well-winning- to yourself and the other
members. You who hall from Pennayl
vanla are not only next-door neighbors to
us of Ohio, but are pretty apt to be, fig
uratively, own cousins, by reason of the
great part that the Keystone state's people
had In ths founding and building of Ohio.
Tour people and ours of Ohio have been
pioneers and builders as well, wherever the
nation's expansion has followed the star
of empire. Those of ua who still remain
in the old states have a vast pride In what
the rest of you bave accomplished. Again
my best wishes to all the members of
the club.

Legion Head Says Unneeded Cash

NASHVILLE, Tenn.. Dec. 17. Han-
ford MacNider, commander of the
American Legion, in a statement to
day concerning veterans compensa
tion legislation, said: "It should not
be forgotten that the passage of the
legion's adjusted compensation bill
will do more directly for the men
broken by the war than anything that
could be planned."
"We submit this plan." he said,
"that those of us who do not need,
who do not feel that we deserve this
stepping stone up to the economic
level of those who stayed at home,
that those who want to give our dues
to the cause of our disabled, pool our
allotments under this act Into a great
rotating legion fund to be lent
through legion service officers of
each state department at low rates
without security that our buddies who
are broken In health may take care
of themselves and their families."
GERMAN WINE BOUGHT UP
Ruthless Raids by Foreign Buyers
Cuuse Bitter Lamentation.
MATENCB, Germany. Hundreds of
foreigners, chiefly Frenchmen, Bel
gians and Hollanders, taking advan
'age of the present low value of the
German mark, have almost bought up
the entire German wine output of
1921.
The ruthless raids by foreign buy
ers, whom no fancy prices seem to
Jeter, are a source of bitter lamenta
tion on the part of domestic consum
ers, who foresee that but little of
the precious liquor will be left for
their own enjoyment.
German officials have been seeking
means to prevent Germans from being
deprived of this year's excellent wine
and from having to purchase inferior
vintages of other years at higher
prices. As a last effort to retain the
remains of the 1921 crop, an agita
tion has been started to force for
eigners to pay a higher price for the
wine than the Germans.
The Prussian minister of commerce
is taking steps to enforce the law
prohibiting exports, which covers ne
cessaries of lite as well as wine sold
in small lots.

FRENCH REVIVE HUNTING
Ancient Customs Itcproduccd in
Forest of IlomMnllltt.
PARIS. Hunting Is gradually be
ing revived in France. In the forest
of Ramboullict a few days ago there
was seen for the first time since the
war one of the most ancient customs
of France. The hounds of tho Dow
ager DucheS9 of Uzes assembled at
La Celle, the hunting grounds of the
BourbonB. Six priests blessed the
hounds, while the huntsmen blew
music on their horris. and the hunting
spasn was officially open. A lnrne
number of huntsmen were present.
The ceremony was held on the an
niversary of St. Hubert, the apostle
of the Ardennes and patron saint of
the huntinif field. It was at the same
point In the foreBt that St. Hubert,
son of he duke of Aqultaine, saved
his father from being gored to death.
Since then the clergy of the district
have assembled each year to bless
the hounds in memory of the coura
geous act of the saint.
In 1S14 there were 11.800 hounds,
12, tKIO huntsmen and 2S5 packs in
France. Thise figures were greatly
reduced by the war.
