MAN IS TO BE GRILLED
Dr. Roberts to Be Cited Before In
quest at Waukesha, Wis., to
Answer Charges of Relations
With Other Women.
WKUKESHA. Wis., Juno 23. (Spe
clla.) Indications that Mrs. Roberts,
slain Thursday by Miss Grace Lusk,
the "third woman" In Waukesha's tri
angle tragedy, expected or possibly
meditated serious trouble when she left
for the Mills residence, where Miss
Lusk was living, are furnished by the
fact that she left a sealed letter ad
dressed to Mrs. Gretha Newman, her
mother.
Mrs. Newman, who lived at the Rob
' erts home, has not opened the letter,
and declines to do so or to express any
opinion as to Its contents.
It is stated that a half-brother of
Mrs. Roberts is on his way to Wau
kesha, and that the message will prob
ably be opened upon his arrival.
Dr. Roberts is maintaining a strict
eilence concerning the whole affair, and
refers everyone wishing to talk with
him to his attorney.
The funeral of the slain woman was
held this afternoon from the house.
The body lay in state all morning at
the residence, and was viewed by hun
dreds of friends in this city. The home
was virtually filled with flowers.
LarKC Crowd Gathers.
Rev. L. A. Pickett, of the First Bap
tist Church, officiated at the services
this afternoon. Mrs. Roberts had been
head of the primary department of the
Sunday school of that church for many
years and had been prominent in all its
activities.
During the sermon in the home an
immense crowd gathered in the street
outside. It was a buzzing, chattering
throng, but the moment the casket con
taining the body appeared to make its
last Journey, a deep silence fell over
everyone.
Hats were doffed reverently and even
the morbidly curious seemed impressed
by a realization of the tragedy, the
windup of which is just commenced by
the Roberts funeral.
Announcement was made today by
Coroner John Schaeffel that the In
quest has been set for Wednesday.
According to Dr. Karkness, one of the
physicians in attendance upon her. Miss
l.usk had a very good night and her
condition is much improved today. It
was stated that her chances of recov
ery are much stronger. Her lungs. It
Is said, were not pierced by the bullets,
as previously was supposed, but only
grazed.
There has been no communication be
tween her and Dr. Roberts since the af
fair. Dr. Harkness said he did not think
Miss Lusk would be sufficiently strong,
even If all goes well, to stand any ques
tioning at the time of the inquest.
Hnsband to Be Grilled.
It was said tonight that Dr. Roberts
would be subjected to a severe grill
ing regarding stories that other women
have figured in his life. Unless Miss
Lusk consents to testify It will be dif
ficult to press Mann act charges
against him. So far she has flatly re
fused. Miss Bianca Mills, at whose home
the fatal shooting of Mrs. Roberts took
place, arrived in Waukesha this after
noon from Menominee, Mich., where
she was at the time the tragedy oc
curred. She did not appear in public
at all and seemed anxious to see or
meet no one. She was taken to her
residence in a closed car, remained
there a short while and then left the
city again for an unknown destina
tion. A. S. Putney, president of the School
Board, has issued a statement denying
that Mrs. Roberts ever appeared be
fore the Board and demanded that Miss
Lusk be removed from the faculty.
MAMMOTH BONES FOUND
Iirltieti Soldiers Dig TTp Valuable
Skeleton.
(By the Associated Prfm
"WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, June 23. Excavating near
the battered remnants of the Hinden-burg-
line, British soldiers struck a
strange object, which proved to be the
tooth of a mammoth. The -discovery
caused great excitement among- the
troops, who flocked to the place re
gardless of the danger of drawing
shell fire from the Germans.
The skeleton of this pre-historlc mon
ster now has been definitely located,
and the gradual exposure of it is proceeding-
under a scientific direction. It
will be a decided novelty in natural
historic research, this up-dlg-glng- of a
mammoth in the very forefront of tiie

IDLE FREIGHT CARS MANY
Lumbermen Report No Shortage for
30. Days Past.
EUGENE, Or., June 23. (Special.)
The supply of freight cars on the Pa
cific Coast at the present time is much
greater than the immediate demand,
according- to an explanation offered by
Southern Pacific officials for the pres
ence of more than 200 idle cars on side
tracks' in this city. The cars came
from the East loaded and will be loaded
as soon as business develops.
Lumbermen here report that suffici
ent cars to handle their products have
been available for 30 days and they ex
pect this condition to prevail for a
month, until the movement of crops
beprins.
It is unofficially stated that there are

failed to prevent, were made in tears
after searching Interrogation by Judge
Zuccona broke down Cocchl's reserve.
Prior to this examination. Cocchi had
cooly and Insistently maintained he
had known Miss Cruger only two days
before her dlsappearanee in February,
when she went to his shop to have her
skates sharpened and had declared his
conduct toward her was entirely cor
rect. Under Judge Zuecont's searching
questions ' toUaov howww; Cocchi line
ally burst Into tears. He became so
agitated as his confession fell halt
ingly from his lips that the persons
surrounding him believed e was about
to have an epileptic.
He was granted time to recover and
then resumed the story of how the 18-year-old
Wadleigh High School grad
uate met death at his hands in the
building where her body was recently
unearthed from the cellar.
After making up his mind to tell the
trurh, Cocchi talked freely and with
out reserve gave full details of his
crime, including the burial of Miss
Cruger's body. After the confession
had been completed the Judge directed
the clerk to read to Cocchi th written
rport of his deposition. The prisoner
said it was correct and later signed it.
On returning to his cell Cocchi said
to the prison attendants:
"At last I feel relieved. I have freed
myself from a nightmare which tor
tured my conscience. Now I have told
everything and I am ready to suffer
any penalty."
Upon being further interrogated by
the police, who were not satisfied that
the prisoner had told the entire truth,
Cocchi admitted that the murder had
been preceded by an assault. He had
denied this previously. Cocchi is ex
pected to fight extradition.

FAIRNESS II! ROAD
WORK COMPELLED
American Lake Contract Open
to Oregon Men After
Mr. McNary Acts.
THREAT OF PROBE WINS
Highway Construction at AH Can
tonments Intended for One Firm
Vntil Defense Council Plan
Is Kxposed to Congress.
OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
Igton, June 23. Portland firms will
have full opportunity to bid on the
contract for building roads at the
American Lake Army cantonment. This
assurance was given Senator McNary
by the Council of National Defense to
day, but not until he had threatened
a Senatorial investigation unless the
council informed him fully of its plan
of building cantonment roads.
After being shifted from one official
to another for two hours without get
ting any positive Information, Senator
McNary lost patience and, exercising
his Senatorial authority, demanded
that he be taken to the highest road
authority and that he receive the data
he sought.
The Senator was then advised that
the council had abandoned its original
plan of adopting one type of road for
all cantonments and had decided to
send a road expert from the good roads
bureau of the Department of Agricul
ture to confer with the constructing
Quartermaster at each camp.
The two officials will jointly deter
mine the character of road best suited
to the particular locality and then
prepare specifications and throw the
competition open to all bidders.
Price and reliability of bidders will
determine the award.
Senator McNary called attention to
the Columbia Highway and other good
roads that have been built and proved
satisfactory in Oregon, and suggested
that these roads furnished a guide to
be followed In preparing specifications
for American Lake.
But for newspaper and Congressional
exposure the contract for all canton
ment roads probably would have been
awarded one firm.
William H. Childs, president of a
corporation manufacturing & well
known road surfacing composition, is
the whole committee on coal tar prod
ucts on the Council of National De
fense, and the charge was made In
Congress that his concern was to have
all the road contracts.
After this exposure. Secretary Baker
announced that the contract had not
been awarded, and the Council of Na
tional Defense dropped its plan of us
ing a single type of road for all camps
and adopted the plan explained to
Senator McNary today.

Sensational Closing Out of
STORAGE PIANOS
Most people in writing; an ad like this would give a list of
alleged "Was and Now" comparative values. We can't do this,
because those "departed" or "local market" values are always
imaginary, and given a vivid imagination, there is no limit to the
height to which an ad writer might soar when telling about the
"departed" value of used pianos and, anyway, good people, you
don't care what some one thinks a piano might have once been
worth. It's the PRESENT and FUTURE value you're concerned
in. Isn't that so ? Sure, it is.
So in telling you about these pianos, we'll tell you the make and
the price. Now, here are a few:
