WEST HTUD TO TAKE WHEAT HERE Third Steamer to Load for Britain Named. CLASS GIFT PRESENTED WEST EL CAJON COMING Rose Jacobs Selling: Memorial Is I Dedicated at Corvallis. OREGON AGRICULTURAL. COL LEGE:, Corvallis, Or., June 6. (Spe cial.) The senior class memorial. Hazel Irwin, central figure in one of Oregon's most notorious murder trials and inmate of the state pent tentiary since September 25, 1912, i free. News of her parole reached Portland yesterday, though the wo man left the prison at Salem on June 1 and has since been with her par ents in southern Oregon. Miss Irwin was convicted of man slaughter for her part in the slaying of Ray Wallace of Portland, and sen tenced by Circuit Judge John P. Kav anaugh to an indeterminate sentence of from one to 15 years. She served approximately eight years. The report that Miss Irwin was at liberty came as a distinct surprise to local officials, who had not been ..asked by the state parole board for any recommendations in the matter. Though customary to request a report from the district attorney concerning the case and a recommendation from the committing magistrate before granting paroles, neither procedure was followed in this case. Tanner Partner In Crime. Miss Irwin shared with Willard Tanner, who is still serving a 15-year sentence at Salem, responsibility for the murder of Wallace. Though Tan ner disclaimed any part in the crime and was tried separately, he was convicted of manslaughter. ' The affection of Tanner, who Is said to have come from a. well-to-do family in Chicago, for Miss Irwin persisted through long years in the penitentiary and resulted In one of the most remarkable incidents in the history of the Salem institution. A little more than a year ago Tanner, who was then a trusty, disappeared. Nearly three weeks later he was dis covered in the room of Miss Irwin in the women's quarters of the peni tentiary. Both had been model pris oners up to that time, but they were denied many privileges after that oc currence. Early on the morning of June 19, 1912, Miss Irwin induced Wallace, then night manager for a Washing ton street restaurant, to enter her apartments at 603 Alder street, and attempted to persuade him to drink some beer, which the evidence at the subsequent trial indicated had been drugged. When Wallace refused to drink the liquor it is alleged that the woman, according to a pre-arranged agreement with Tanner, kissed htm and placed her arm about his neck Man Felled With Bolt. The couple then stepped backward. It was charged, and Tanner walked out from behind a curtain where he had been hiding and struck Wrallace a blow on the head with a bolt. VY al lace dropped to the floor dead. It was charged by the prosecuting officials that Miss Irwin and Tanner were of the opinion that Wallace arried considerable money, and it was for the purpose of robbing him that he was lured to the woman's apartment and killed. As it happened -Wallace had only 40 on his person ".I Prison officials say Miss Irwin toiled practically every day during her years of confinement and the decoration features of the rooms as signed to the women in the prison fully attest her handiwork. She de lighted in doing fancy work and crocheting. - When informed of her parole, of which she had no previous knowledge. Miss Irwin broke down and wept. ..She came of respectable parents of Salem, but left her home at an early age. According to Joseph L Ham mersly, present chief deputy district attorney, she went to California and became an active figure in the life of the notorious Barbary Coast. It was there she met Tanner, who was a soldier stationed at the Presidio. Tan ner deserted from the army and came to Portland with Miss Irwin, living with her ostensibly as husband and wife in this city. t . V;?

Big "Windjammer Will Carry Close to 2,000,000 Feet From Co lumbia River to Astoria. The five-masted barkentine Kath erine Mackall. the first of the shipping-board hulls to be converted into Investigation of the wooden ship building industry throughout the Co lumbia river district is now under way 'by the department of justice, it was learned yesterday through au thoritative sources. The federal grand jury, which convenes Monday, how ever, will not be called upon to take up the inquiry. Federal officials would not say whether this lack of impending grand Jury action is due to failure to obtain any evidence which might warrant a continuation of the investigation or whether the official probe ia being delayed until department of justice operatives have continued their pre liminary inquiry. Records Being Examined. Examination of the records of all local wooden shipbuilding plants which constructed vessels for the United States shipping board is being made by the same group of depart ment of justice operatives who have been here for three months conduct ing an investigation of steel ship building plants. These agents, under the leadership of George Wheeler of Baltimore, first came to Portland early in March and have been inquiring into all lines of shipbuilding activity since the protte into the affairs of the Northwest Steel company and the Columbia River Shipbuilding corporation was halted more than a month ago through failure of the federal agencies to obtain possession of the records and documents of these two corporations. Most of the records and documents now being examined are a part of the official records of the Emergency Fleet corporation. This department has duplicate copies of a considerable portion of the records of the ship building plants so far as their deal ings with the government are- con cerned, and a thorough inquiry, it is said, is being conducted along these lines. The investigation into the wooden branch of the local shipbuilding pro gramme is said to have started imme diately after the two local shipbuild ing plants won out in the first round of their legal battle to keep their records and documents out of the hands of the grand jury. The grand cided imnetuH in the eastern business sent eggs here to 40 and 41 cents wholesale today. The Tacoma egg market is developing rapidly, one firm alone sending thousands of cases monthly to outside brokers and com mission men. Poultry farms in the Puyallup and adjacent valleys have increased ten-fold in the last two years, produce men say. Most of these poultry raisers are working on a large scale with modern equipment. 530,000 BOXCS TO BE DECIDED Money Asked to Complete Yaquina Jetty Before Winter. NEWPORT. Or., June 5. (Special.)

Mr. Moore is After having been away from the city almost a month, most of the time attending a conference at Wash lngton. C. O. Yoakum, director of the western district division of supply and sales, emergency fleet corpo ration, returned yesterday with in formation that the division would as sume general purchasing duties for vessels of the United States shipping board, instead of its functions being restricted to the sale of equipment and material remaining from the ship construction programme. At Washington the general features of the selling campaign the division has carried on for almost a year were considered and many new details were discussed in the interest of furthe expediting the movement of surplu property. In assuming the added work of purchasing, Mr. Yoakum's force will have to do with assem bling fuel for the ships, both oil and coal, and. if imperative, insure bunk ering facilities. The purchasing sec tion will be represented on Puget sound, at Portland and at San Fran cisco, where the division already maintains offices in the interest of its sales. Previously the division of supply and sales has had to do with affairs of the emergency fleet corporation. but the new work is in the direct in terest of the shipping board as well. General ship stores, equipment and all such purchases will be made. De tails of the complete purchasing or ganization have not been given out. but its operation is being provided for. With concentration warehouses at Tacoma. St. Johns and Alameda, where surplus ship material and equipment is now assembled, while offices are maintained at Seattle, Portland and San Francisco, the in auguration of the augmented pur chasing responsibilities can be taken care of without loss of time or any interference with the sale of surplus property, which is keeping up a steady pace.
