Definite proof that the condemned school building from which Prine vine's JMO.WVO fire started Wednes day night was entered shortly before Jack Dobey saw the flames and turned in the first alarm was ob tained today when Tom Turner, boot black, living across the street from the firetrap, said he had heard a door of the building elam just after the alarm sounded. The doors were al ways kept fastened, Turner said, eliminating, the chance of wind or a draft caused by the fire causing the noise. Turner saw no one. Tragedy Is Averted. How a triple tragedy was narrowly averted when the fire had swept over more than half its course was related by f irefig-h-ters, who were compelled to use force in making B. F. Holloway and his two daughters leave their residence, adjoining a building which was about to be dynamited. Holloway was called from the house in which his daughters were- sleeping, and was told of, the danger, but in itiated on remaining, it was stated. One of the fire fighters, realizing the futility of argument. knocked Hollo way unconscious with a blow on the jaw, and the daughters and their father were taken to safety. The house was included in the list of properties destroyed. Holloway is agent for Mrs. Anna Maling Walker, owner of the building In which the fire started, and of sev eral other properties . razed by the I Lames. Second Fire started. A second fire started this morning when the Mutual creamery building of frame construction was ablaze. The cause is not definitely known. A theory of a defective flue was ad vanced, but it is more generally re garded as one of the series of mystery fires which culminated in the de struction of more than half of Prine ville's business section. The flames were checked before more than. $1000 damage had been done. Prospects for rebuilding seemed darker today. The small amount of insurance carried, coupled with in ability of some owners and disinclina. tlon of others, makes the rehabilita tion of the town a matter of con Jecture.

A fund of J50C0 or more will be raised Tuesday atternoon to nnance the .celebration, it waB decided. Con servative estimates of committee members are that a first-class cele bration in the city will save a quarter of "a million dollars in cash to the harbor country. Without a Splash, or with only a mediocre celebration, this sum will be lost because hundreds of Grays Harbor residents, especially loggers, will move to the bigger cities of the sound to celebrate tne nouaays.

AGREEMENT IS REACHED Prisoner Held in Multnomah Jail likely to Be Arraigned at Oregon City Monday. ' OREGON CITY, Or., June 2 (Spe cial.) Russell Hecker was inducted by the circuit court grandi jury of Clackamas county at 4 o'clock this afternoon, charged! with the' murder of Frank Bowker, Portland! musician. whose body was found in the Cala- pooia river after nearly a week's search, which started April 16. Hecker, according to the statement of District Attorney Livy- Stipp, will be tried in Clackamas county for the murder, which is alleged to have been committed! on the Eighty-second street road near the Clackamas rifle range. -The indictment was returned here through an agreement with the Multnomah county officials. Because of the fact that the crime is believed to have taken place in. this county, use of other venue, it is bel'ieved. would jeopardize the state's case. v Arraignment Monday Likely. Hecker, who Is held in .the Multno mah county jail, probably wiUi be ar- raigneq Here on Monday. Thomas' G. Ryan- of Portland and GaJ Hill' of Albany are his attorneys. , The murder or KovrKor snay yt prove to be one of the greatest crim inal mysteries in some years. The evidence upon which the indictment waa returned Is understood to have been mainly circumstantial. The police Investigation which de veloped) following the disappearance of Bowker led: to the theory that he had been shot in Hecker's machine near Clackamas. The car, the tracks showed; had doubled toward Portland and returned toward Oregon City, ana then gone as tar as Albany, driving through the city. After this the body. wrapped in a large hop sack, had been thrown into the river. Crime Is Confessed. ' - Hecker, according to the police, is said to have made e. statement to his father that he "sunk the body in the Calapooia." It was on this informa tion that the search was conducted there and the, body located. Because of the theory that the crime was planned in Multnomah county and joint jurisdiction would be pos sible, it was understood that the trial was to be conducted there. The offi cials, however, fear that the case might be lost on a technicality at this point and intend to tataa no chances, Mr. Stipp indicated. It is possible that assistant counsel from the Mult nomah county courts will aid in the prosecution here.. . -Oregon City Store Robbed. OREGON CITT, Or., June 2.T-(Spe cial.)

The graduation address was de livered by Dr. Carl Gregg Doney, president of Willamette university, Salem. His subject was, "Education for Living." "Modern education has been largely guided by two principles of a false philosophy concerning the purpose of education," said Dr. Doney. "The re sult is a restless society and an undue state of individual dissatisfaction. Mark of Success Satisfaction. "It is a mistake to regard educa tion as chiefly an affair of vocation. It is wise and necessary to master the material world ; the race should be fed, clothed, instructed and enter tained; there should be work in proper amount under wholesome con ditions and full opportunity for men to develop. ,These-are essential, but to define ultimate success in terms of wealth or leisure is to miss the mark. Real success is a matter of high, durable satisfactions and they have their roots within and not without the individual. "We have also been disposed to be lieve that if we knew enough we would be good enough. Observation and experience disprove the fallacy, but it persists, and too greatly con trols the policy of education. Knowl edge is power; it is not goodness. Goodness is not simply a function of the intellect; it is an expression of the entire being and no phase of life is stable which is not based on char acter. Business understands this and knows that character is the one In-, disputable condition of all enterprise. Character Key to Prosperity. - "Education must therefore be more directly concerned with the funda mentals of human nature. It must not only train men to achieve results on the outside but within themselves also. It Bhould build a good house and be able to put the right sort of r.eoDle inside of It What men are. rather than what they own, is the were elaborate water sports and a big open air smoker to be held in an arena which will be constructed spe cially for the occasion. ACTORS' PAY ATTACKED Wealth Unearned by Small Souls Disturbs Society, Says Dr. Doney WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Sa lem, Or.. June 2. (Special.) In ad dressing tne students yesterday on the dangers of great and sudden pros perity. President Carl P. Doney sug gested a remedy for Hollywood. "Ten years ago," he said, "the pic ture shows charged 5 cents admission. The machine was imperfect, the pic tures were not good and no one would now desire them. We want good ap paratus and good pictures, but de spite this there are clearly unjust! fiable reasons for admission charge of 25 cents to $1 or more. The major reason lies in the outrageous salaries of the actors. 'Maximum salaries of $5000 to $10, 000 a year would appear just to the public and would go rar toward sav ing the artists from the shame of scandalous extravagance.
