BRUMFIELD AGAIN FASTS ( Con tlnu cd From Yrmt T ire ) asked him by the officers, he would reply, but refused to obey when com manded to get up. Breakfast Is Decline. As breakfast was brought Into the ceil this morning Brumfleld did not Jrlr. Deputy Sheriff Hopkins wak sosd blm but the prisoner' refused to get out of oed. When asked bow he felt he replied that he felt better and that his head did not hurt so badly as It had the day before. He was told to get up and replied that he would. A short time later Sheriff Starmer went into the Jail and found Brum fleld still In bed. Again Brumfleld promised to get up and eat his break fast but at noon he was still In bed. "Get up Doc, Rice and Orcutt are coming to see you," Sheriff Starmer told him. "Rice and Orcutt. who are they?" asked the dentist. "I guess they can see me all right if they want to." The attorneys appeared with Dr. A. F. Sether, a local physician, and attempted to examine the prisoner. Brumfleld came to the bars and told the doctor that he had pains In his head, but when questioned further started pacing the floor and then went hack to bed, refusing to answer questions. Memory Declared Lost. "It's such a comfort to stay in bed." he told Sheriff Starmer later in the day. Dr. Brumfleld's defense In his trial, which starts on October 6. will doubt less be based on an alleged lapse of memory. He declares that on July 10 he stooped over to pick up some shot at the home of his nephew and that he felt severe pains in his bead and remembered nothing more. On July 13, It Is alleged, he mur dered Dennis Russell and fled to Cal gary, Canada, where he was arrested. H declares he can remember none of Uls. la fact, he says his mind was Mil not fully restored to him until he reached Spokane on the way back. His condition, whether faked or not, li similar to that described by him and by the officers who brought him back from Calgary. At that time he did not know them and when they greeted him In the cell failed to rec ognize them. His actions are the same now. Doubtless his condition at present will be recited before the Jury as a proof of his claim of Japse of memory. Doctor Is Vl'lted A gala. A second visit was paid Dr. Brunts field early tonight by his attorneys, who were accompanied by Dr. A. F. Sether and Deputy Sheriff Percy Webb. At this visit Dr. Brumfleld appeared perfectly- willing to talk. and conversed freely with the attor neys and the doctor. He could not recall Attorney Rice's name, though. ne said: "You were here to see me this aft ernoon and tried to tell me who you were." He appeared not to recognise Dr. Sether, with whom he has been ac quainted for years, and neither did he admit he knew Attorney Orcutt or Percy Webb. He continually called for his sister, Mamie, who, he said, could ease his headache, which, he declared, came on him again about S o'clock tonight. He had a sister, Mamie, it was learned in an interview with Mrs. Brumfleld, but she has been dead for about 15 years. Dr. Brum fleld and his sister, Mamie, were very devoted when at home, she said. How ever, when Mrs. Brumfleld was later allowed to see her husband, he be gan to sob and weep and call her Mamie, denying that she was his wife and claiming her as his sister. Dr. Brnmfirld in Bed. When the visitors appeared In his cell after dark. Brumfleld was In bed and remained there during the exam ination by Dr. Sether. ' Brumfleld was. asked a number of questions about his condition and an swered each of theni without hesita tion. He declared that he had eaten nothing which would cause him to be ill and that his only pain was in his head, which he told the doctor ached severely. "Oh, If Mamie were only here she could stop this terrible headache," Brumfleld said. "Mamie always rubs my head when It hurts like this and the pain stops." "Who Is Mamie?" asked Dr. Sether. "Don't you know Mamie? Why, she's my sister," was the dentist's re ply. "Where do you think you are?" Dr. Sether asked him. I'm la Princeton," la Reply. "Why, I'm home in Princeton," Brumfleld said In a surprised tone. "Of course, I am not In my room, but I know I am in Princeton and I know Mamie is here, I saw her in a dream last night. Maybe she Isn't 'in this room, but she's In this county." Princeton, Ind., was one of the resi dences of Dr. Brumfleld while a dental student and it evidently was to this place that he referred. "What Is Mamie's last name?" Dr. Sether inquired. I don't know," replied Brumfleld. "Well, what's your name, doc," In terrupted Attorney Rice. "I'll be d d If I know," said Brumfleld in such a ludicrous tone that his visitors were forced to laugh. "That's what I've been try ing to figure out what, where and why. But why does everybody call me doc, I am not a doctor?" "Well, then, who are you?" he was asked. "I Don't Know," Bays Dentist. "1 don't know," said Brumfleld as he scratched his head in a pusxled manner. "Would you like to see your wife?" Attorney Rice asked him. "So I have a wife, have I; well, let her come In. I would like to see what she looks like." Mrs. Brumfleld was allowed to en tr the cell and the Instant Brum fleld saw her he leaped to his feet and ran to her. crying and sobbing. "She is not my wife, this is my sister Mamie," Dr. Brumfleld cried out as the tears streamed down his cheeks. Mrs. Brumfleld was allowed to re main with her husband for a few minutes, although she was not alone with him at any time. After a few minutes the party left and Dr. Brum fleld went back to Ills cot. i Dr. Sether declined to make any statement regarding the examination which was evidently made by the at torneys of the defense to test Brum fleld's mental condition. Chief Interest In Farm. "Brumfleld has never but once since his return appeared to me to be nor mal," Attorney Rice said following his last visit to his client. "He takes less Interest in his case than anyone connected with it. Only once has he appeared! snappy and like his usual self. On that day he tried to give us some real help and information about the people with whom we de sired to get in touch, but the next time I talked to him he took no In terest in his case, was noconceroed with what we were trying Jo do for him, and would give us no informa tion of any value. "His chief Interest lies apparently In trying to keep his farm and pre vent his creditors from getting hold of it. He takes much more interests) In that than he does in the murder case against him. To be frank, I am greatly puxsled over his condition." ALBANY STUDENTS ELECT Senior High School Classes Tick Officers for Year. ALBANY, Or., Sept. 24. (Special.)

POSSIBLE DEBT HINTED Mrs. Laws Believed to Have Been Desperate Over Loss of Rich Friend and Benefactor. NEW YORK, Sept. 24. The theory that Mrs. Grace Laws, losing the friendship and financial assistance of Miss Mildred Hanan, was driven to a trensy whlcn resulted in her shoot ing the shoe man's daughter and then committing suicide was advanced to day by John S. Borland, a central fig ure in yesterday's tragedy, i Borland Dartmouth graduate. Im porter and friend of both Miss Hanan -nd Mrs. Laws advanced his theory only after he had been pressed to do so by Assistant District Attorney Wil son. He asserted that the ending of the friendship, carrying with it with drawal of Miss Hanan's financial as sistance, had left Mrs. Laws nearly "broke." Drink Sought as Solace. He expressed belief that this was followed by the excessive drinking for which Mrs. Laws wrote her regret in a letter addressed to her sister in San Francisco and found among her possessions. Then, in turn, according to the Bor land theory, came the homicidal frenxy. It was learned .that when the as sistant district attorney attempted to question Miss Hanan, lying in a Brooklyn hospital, the girl answered all questions except those pertaining to ths question of whether Mrs. Laws had owed her money. When a detective asked Miss Hanan why the divorcee had shot her. the girl had closed her eyes and barely moved her head from side to side to signify she did not know. "Did Mr. Borland have anything to do with it?" asked the detective. "Not in the least," she replied. Girl's Condition Critical. This statement concerning Miss Hanan's condition was made by one of the surgeons attending her: "I don't say she is going to get welt for her condition ia critical, but she Is much better than we expected." Miss Hanan told Detective Captain Sullivan today that Mrs. Lawi had once before threatened her life. CLASS PRESIDENT CHOSEN Woodburn Boy Heads Seniors at Willamette University.

To Correct An Erroneous Report Edward Holman & Son Funeral Directors Founded 1854 Salmon at Third F Hope for Success Put in Per sonal Interviews. RUN ON MEETING FAILS Actions of De Talera Said to Cast Doubt Upon Outcome of Fur ther Negotiations. Dl'NDEE, Scotland, Sept. 24. (By the Associated Press.) Winston Spen cer Churchill, secretary of the colo nies, in an address here today ex pressed himself as most heartily in favor of a conference on the Irish question. He felt there was a much better chance of an. agreement being reached by personal interviews than by cor respondence, he said, and it was be cause of this he was anxious for a conference the only thing, he de clared, which stood between the gov ernment and complete rupture of the Irish negotiations. Eamonn de Valera, Mr. Churchill said, had made It very doubtful whether there was a chance of a suc cessful conference. " Run os Meeting Falls. An attempt was made to break tip ths meeting before Mr. Churchill spoke. Mounted police were on duty all night. All streets leading to the hall were guarded, but a procession of unemployed tried to rush the halL Order was restored quickly. . Mr. Churchill said that the British government had gone to the utmost limit possible la its offer to the Sinn Fein, and that If it was rejected the government had not anything else to give. "We have reached the end of our tether," he declared. Mr. Churchill said that the govern ment was "profundly disappointed by De Valera's rejection of the offer of dominion home rule." "Although Gre&t Britain could un questionably enforce existing law on Ireland," he continued, "she none the less is called on to clear away all possfble misunderstanding. If our offer Is rejected, we have the con vletion that our countrymen will sup port the empire, as will the opinion of the civlliied world." Allegiance to the king, whether as king of Great Britain or of Ireland, must be insisted upon, he declared. Exchange Conference Hoped For. Mr. Churchill said he hoped the limitation of armaments conference would develop a coMerence for the establishment of normal exchange. The present industrial situation, he remarked, could be attributed to the collapse of international exchange and socialist propaganda. Mr. Churchill, through his declara tion that there would be Insistence on allegiance to the Wng, whether as "king of Great Britain or of Ire land." was considered by many of his hearers to have virtually held out the proepect to Ireland of a separate kingdom along the lines suggested by Lord Hugh Cecil last May, when he brought forward a statement by which Ireland would be made an in dependent kingdom, the king to be appointed by the king of England.

DUBLIN, Sept. 24 (Special cable ) Winston Spencer Churchill's speech has deepened! the general pessimism here.. It is interpreted as meaning in effect that the crown governmnt in sists upon allegiance to the empire as a condition precedent to an actual conference.

The report is untrue. The Holman institution has been under the continuous direction of the Holman family since 1854, and still is, and will be in the future.

Informed circles here profess to know the trend of Premier Lloyd George's reply, and declare war will be resumed seven days hence if there Is no alteration of the crown govern ment's attitude.
