PRINCIPALS IN TRAGEDY NEAR OLE ND ALE, OR.
.-llendale, last Wednesday, Attorney W
W. Card well, of counsel for the defense,
said today it was his theory that the
girl committed , suicide by drinking
poison and was Jiot killed by Roy
Farnam as suspected by the prose
cuting officers. -
"ISdna Morgan committed suicide,"
said Mr. Cardwell, "and I expect to
have little difficulty In disproving the
theory of the prosecution. Edna was
in & delicate condition and worried to
the extent that' her mind became af
fected. When she realized that she
was soon to become a mother she be
came desperate and with cool and de
liberate premeditation decided to end
her life. It was only reasonable that
she would leave her home in the night
and go to a secluded spot to seek death.
Oil For Cow, Says Attorney.
Referring to the purchase of oil of
tansy credited to Farnam, Attorney
Cardwell said the dru- was bought by
the prisoner for a sick cow. A record
of the sale and the intended use of the
oil is on file In a Glendale pharmacy,
Mr. Cardwell declares.
"The peculiar hoof marks to which
the prosecuting officers -ttach consid
erable importance were not made on
the night of the tragedy but on the fol
lowing morning - when Roy Farnam
learned of the fire and rode his horse
over the route subsequently covered by
the Sheriff," said Attorney Cardwell.
The letter said to have been re
ceived by Miss Morgan on the day pre
ceding her death was written by
Farnam, says the attorney, but makes
no mention of her meeting him at the
barn where her charred body was
found. Attorney Cardwell denies that
Miss Morgan was shot.
"it is true the Sheriff found a particle
of leHd in the ruing of the barn," said
Mr. Cardwell, "but that does not prove
It was ever a bullet."
More Clews Sought
Sheriff Quine passed the day near the
scene of the tragedy serving subpenas
and gathering evidence to be sub
mitted to the grand jury which will
convene in special session next Tues-!
day. Farnam was subjected to severe
questioning by the authorities today,
but it is said no light was thrown on
the tragedy. The prisoner will be
questioned again tomorrow upon the
arrival here of District Attorney
Brown.
Dr. Kauffman, of Forest Grove, and
Dr. A. F. Sethery, of Roseburg, have
been summoned to appear before the
prand jury -to-identify the girl's body.
Both physicians operated on Miss
Morgan at different times. It is be
lieved several days will be necessary
to hear all the evidence. Farnam' s
parents are well-to-do and it is under
stood here that they plan to wage a
strong defense for their son.
SANTA TO CHEER 4000
MITS FLAN RECORD CHRISTMAS
FOR POOR CHILDREN.
Noisy Parade Thursday to Arouse .En
thusiasm In Speetal Show at Baker
to Gather Toys.
Action taken by the "Santa Claus"
committee of the Order of Muts yes
terday afternoon indicates that the
Christmas tree celebration to be held
by the Good Fellows of this order, at
the Armory December 24. will surpass
in magnitude anything ever attempted
in the Pacitic Northwest along such
lines. It was voted, at the Joint con
ference held with various other public
spirited and philanthropical institutions
of, the city, that gifts and "goodies"
should be provided for a grand total
of 4000 children selected from the poor
families of the city.
When the plans were considered
originally it was thought that about
2000 would be taken care of, then the
number was increased to 2500, then to
3500 and finally to 4000 when it was
unanimously decided that the Muts
were to hold the only big public Christ
mas tr?e celebration this year.
The actual plans and preparations
will be under the general "Santa Claus'
committee of 20 members, while other
committees representing the Ladies'
Auxiliary of the Elks, the combined
Parent -Teacher Associations of the city,
the People's Institute, the Juvenile
Court, the Associated Charities and a
number of other organizations will have
special features.
To start the ball rolling in good shape
a Muta parade will be held through
the downtown district at noon Tuesday
for the purpose of drumming up enthu
siasm in the special "Toyland matinee"
at the Baker Theater next Thursday
afternoon. The committee in charge
of the parade, which will be a noisy
one, consists of George P. Henry, Kubc
Theodore Brugger, F. H. Crane, R. W.
Gill, E. S. Jenne, C. M. Lake, ' H. A.
Lewis, A'. F. Miller, H. G. Mullenhoff.
R. P. Rasmussen, D. M. Roberts, E. L.
Thorpe and J. W. Townsend. One fea
ture of the meeting was that each
proxy required, a 10-cent revenue
stamp.
The by-laws were so amended that
the annual meeting of the directors
will be held the first Tuesday of Jan-
AUTO TRUCK TAX URGED
Clarke State Senator Thinks Meas
nre Will Be Passed.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Dec 12. (Spe
cial.) State Senator French, of this
county, a holdover, spoken of as a
prospective candidate for President pro
tern of the Senate at the coming ses
sion of the Legislature, is of the opin
ion that the motor vehicle will bring
about great changes in this country
and that a Dill regulating it will be
passed this Winter He believes that
the motor-driven machine will do most
of the hauling for 50 miles and shorter
distances when, most of the country
roads are hard-surfaced, which is not
far away.
This brings up the problem of fixing
a license on such machines in addition
to the regular automobile tax now in
force. Mr. French believes that the bill
will be based on the horsepower of the
machine, the greater the horsepower
the greater "the tax. This will provide
a revenue from the highways.
Another bill that will be brought to
the attention of the Legislature will
be one requiring lights on all manner
of vehicles at night, whether they be
motor-propelled or drawn by horses or
mules. Automobilists will welcome
some such regulation, it is believed.
They argue that if an automobile
standing on the street at night is re
quired to have lights burning at front
and rear a buggy left should also dis
play some kind of a light.

Tuesday night, when the modern Le
manskl's Theater was opened to the
public
This theater is the result of. expert
Investigation Into the latest methods
of construction. The building; was
completed, after a construction period
which Involved an enlargement from
the original proposed S4000 structure,
which in no manner complied with the
strict building; ordinances, to a full
fireproof building; of reinforced con
crete, with every safeguard Insurance
companies demand, costing-, ready for
Mr. - Liemanski's furnishings, nearly
$20,000.
The building is 100 by 60 feet, and
seats comfortably In its full opera
chairs, 800 persons, 494 in the main
floor, and 306 in the . balcony. The
theater stands at the corner of Central
avenue and Third street, a location
which a few years ago would have been
deemed entirely removed from the cen
ter of travel. Today, however, this sit
uation is looked on as one of the cen
ters of the city.
The Lemanski will not be devoted
entirely to pictures, but will accommo
date traveling troupes of merit. It
was built to handle anything in the
theatrical line, and has a Btasre that
will accommodate the best companies.
The stage has a depth suitable for all
theatricals that would visit this dis
trict in years, and it is SO feet in width.
The arrangements for dressing
rooms are probably more comfortably
appointed than the most exacting lead
ing woman could wish. Beneath the
stage there are 12 dressing-rooms, all
electrically lighted, cement floor, with
cement banks surrounding the rooms,
upholstered in leather and other cush
ions. The rooms are large and roomy
and heated throughout with hot water
radiators, making them as cosy as a
home in a $50 flat.
