DELEGATES PRESENT Executive Committee Instructed to Investigate Faults in Direct Primary Law. Support of the republican ticket from top to bottom and a determina tion to triumph In the general elec tion in November was the main idea expressed by the republican state committee, which yesterday or ganized by electing Walter L. Tooze Jr. of McMlnnville, as chairman. A. H. Lea, who had the backing of the Ku Klux Klan. received six votes to 30 received by Tooze, two of Lea votes being cast by A. A. Bailey, committeeman from Multnomah who also held' an outside proxy. It was a regular old-time repub lican gathering and for the first time in years every county was rep resented. The committee pledged it self unequivocally to the republican ticket and authorized the executive committee to investigate the abuses of the direct primary law with the ultimate object of preserving repre sentative government and recog nize party organization. Campaigning; Lasts for Days. The election of Tooze came after several days of campaigning. The klan was anxious to obtain control of the Btate committee, but in view of the attitude of that organization against Ben W. Olcott,, republican nominee for governor, an over whelming number of the state com mitteemen decided to play safe and see that the party organization would support the ticket and not place the machinery in the hands of' men who might decline to function later.- ' Mr. Tooze, who for 14 years has been a member of the state com mittee and who served at national headquarters In the Harding cam paign, was a 'supporter of I. L. Patterson in the primaries. Per sonalities were disregarded in the committee and the one thing that" the committe wanted was the selec tion of a chairman who would back up the nominees of the primaries. E. E. Blanchard of Josephine county, presented the name of Tooze, which was seconded by Roy D. Smith of Hood River and E. C. Klrkpatrick of Polk. Mr. Bailey offered the name of Lea, which was not sec onded. The ballot showed 30 for Tooze and six for Lea. Sir. Bailey Haa Proxy. Mr. Bailey, who in addition to his own vote had the proxy of A. V. Swift of Baker, which proxy was originally supposed to be in the hands of George Huntington Currey, declared that it would be a mistake to elect Tooze as Lea was the man who could bring the different fac tions in the republican party to gether. To members of the com mittee, earlier in the day, Bailey asaerted that he represented 9000 votes in Multnomah county and unless Lea was elected he. Bailey, would bolt the convention. Bailey took his hat and departed when he saw that his candidate was de feated and before the result was announced. In offering Tooze, Committeeman Blanchard declared that republicans cannot permit a trifling difference to' injure the republican party, and "when in the booth at the election, with your conscience and your God, you will stand for the republican party and let nothing interfere."

EMPLOYE ACQUITTED Supplying Liquor to Party in Fatal Wreck Held Not Proved. ASTORIA, Or., June 24. (Special.) Philfp Price, an employe of the Whistle inn, was acquitted by a jue tice court jury this afternoon on a charge of selling liquor to the mem bers of an automobile party which was in a wreck on the night of Juno 16, when two women and one man were killed. The members of the Jury added a note to the verdict, stating that in their opinion there is no doubt that intoxicating liquor was sold to the party; but that the state had failed to show that Price either sold or served the liquor.

SPIRITUALIST TO RETURN Noted Author Expected to Visit America Again Next Year. Prohibition Is Praised. NEW YORK. "June 24. (Special.) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, novelist, lecturer and advocate' of spiritual ism, who has been in this country four months lecturing on spiritual ism and psychic problems, sailed to day for home on the White Star steam Adriatic bound for Liverpool. He was accompanied by Lady Doyle and his three children, "Billy," his little, girl, and Dennis and Malcolm, his two boys. Sir Arthur was all smiles because of his receptloji here. He was more than pleased at the interest shown in the cause of spiritualism in this country, which he said was greater than he anticipated. He thought the cause of spiritualism suffered to some extent because of lack of centralization of effort. The same condition obtained in England and the continent, he said. When the process of centralization of the movement grows the cause will grow in leaps and bounds, he thought. As to spiritualistic mat ters, he said nothing other than he has said many times on the lecture platform and in private conversa tion. , - - . Psychic Detective Suggested. He was asked If he thought spiritualism or psychic Investiga tion would help solve the problem of the Ward case. To this question he replied that it was quite, possible to solve the hidden mysteries as to the-, motive for " the shooting of Peters, but that In the -use of a medium for such "work the medium would have to be a person who was in direct sympathy with Peters, the murdered boy. Then again a psy chic detective might.be put to work on the case to a great advantage. Sir Arthur Bald that he did not care to discuss the case in detail because he had not studied it close enough, but from surface indications it looked to him like blackmail and its promptings. . ' English . Medium Cited. Sir' Arthur told of an English medium. Van Burgh' by name, who he thought was at present in the United States, who took the clothing of a missing man and was placed in a trance. .In that state Van Burgh described the missing man and told where the body of the man could be found, drowned among some lily pads. The location was so vividly described that the police had no difficulty in identifying the spot.. . "I discovered many very sensitive mediums in the United States," said Sir Arthur, "and attended many seances. Some were interesting in deed and some I found to be frauds. I came across one young girl who has been in spiritualistic communi cation with Professor Henry James and Professor Heary Hyslop. This young girl while in communication with the two professors spoke in highly technical terms used by these men, which were totally unknown to her, and used involved sentences not in the compass of her vocabu lary. I received good advice from Professor Hyslop as to the methods of properly conducting spiritualistic seances." - -v Sir Arthur was greatly Impressed by what he saw of the workings of prohibition In this country. - .

Police Guard House. LONDON, June 24 (By the Asso ciated Press.) With the Wilson tragedy . fresh In mind, the police took amazing precautions to guard the king and queen, the membersvof the cabinet and other prominent personages who attended the American ambassador's dinner to night. Groups of Scotland Yard men in every manner of disguise were deployed in doorways, alleys and obscure corners, and fully S00 special detectives patrolled the streets- for a radius of several blocks around the Harvey residence, almost as much an object of Interest as the Wilson home nearby. Hundreds of curious waited out side to catch a glimpse of the dis tinguished guests. Detectives were on all sides when Premier Lloyd George alighted from his automo bile, and the other members of the cabinet were similarly safeguarded. The gathering lasted until after midnight, the king and queen re maining until the end, which is un usual, as the sovereigns were never known to remain to such a late hour at previous dinners. The scene within the ambassa dor's house resembled a glittering spectacle of mld-Vlctorian days.

AMERICA PAYS RESPECT Flag on Embassy Drops to Half Mast When News-of Death of Leader Is Received. BERLIN, June 24. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Dr. Walter Rath enau, German forelgrn minister, and more closely identified than any other German with the efforts for rehabilitation of his country since the war, was shot and killed by two or more unknown assassins while on his way. from his residence this morning to the foreign office. The minister was subjected to a veritable hail of bullets, one of them striking him in the throat and passing upward t ttfe brain while others struck him in various parts of the body. Hand-grenades also were thrown, almost wrecking the car in which Dr. Rathenau Was riding and inflicting further injuries on the minister. Government 1 Aroused. Chancellor Wirth's government tonight marshaled the nation's ele ments to the defense of the young German republic and organized labor, represented in both socialist parties; again was first to buckle bn the armor, just as it did during the Kapp revolt. Announcement was made that the government would establish extraordinary courts for the trial of nationalist plotters and that state of emergency for Prussia would be proclaimed. All regimental reunions and mili taristic demonstrations are to be prohibited. Yet. despite vociferous cries ,of r "long live the republic," which resounded - th.ough the reichstag chamber at the close of a memorial session to Rathenau to day, thoughtful men of all ranks and parties were silently but gravely apprehensive for the na tibn. Dinger Fully Realized. While the heat of resentment and partisan feeling has not yet suffi ciently cooled to warrant a sure ap praisal of the direction in which, the political effect of Rathenau's assas sination wilt spread, yet this much is certain the goverhment is facing a far more precarious situation than it did when nationalist bullets struck down Erzberger in the Black fores(. 1 months ago. The emotion which marked the brief addresses of Chancellor Wirth and President Loebe before the reichstag reflected sentiments which were shared by many others, while the rioting of the radicals through out what was to have been a de corous memorial to the dead foreign minister reflected the feeling of unrelenting vengeance vowed in be half of the German proletariat. Never did the reichstag witness such scenes of turbulence and exe crations. Dr. Karl Helfferich, the nationalist leader, who attacked Dr. Rathenau in a savage speech In the reichstag yesterday, sat curled up in his seat far to the right of the house. He appeared to be in a very depressed and somewhat fearful state. -- Session Turbulent One. President Loebe had difficulty in getting the session- under way, as the radicals swarmed over to the right, threatening Helfferich and other nationalists, who volunteered to come to his rescue.

JOHNS HAS PARADE Fifth Great Classical Institution of City to Be Copied After Franklin High. Marked by the formal dedicatory ceremony of the Masonic grand lodge and made even more impres sive by the reading of the note of appreciation sent by Edith Kermit Roosevelt, widow of one of the greatest of presidents, to the board of directors of school district No. 1 from her Sagamore Hill residence in New York, the cornerstone for the fifth great classical high school of the city was laid yesterday after noon. Roosevelt high school will not only live long in the hearts of the people of St. Johns as the symbol of American education, but it will be revered in memory of Theodore Roosevelt. The ceremony, a tribute to a president, was typical of true Americanism. Thanks Are Kxpressed. , "Please express my thanks to the board of directors for having chosen my husband's name for their new school," read the message from Mrs. Rousevelt, "I shall be glad if you see fit to read the enclosed quotation at your opening." And amid the silent tribute while men "stood with bared heads and. tears glistened In women's eyes, W. F. Woodward, school director, read this last publio statement- of Theodore Roosevelt: "There must be no lagging back in the fight for Americanism. If an immigrant comes here he shall be treated on an 'equality with everyone else re gardless of his creed or birthplace or origin. This is predicated upon a man being In very fact an American and nothing but an American. Divided Allegiance Impossible. "There cannot be divided alle giance at all. We have room in this country for but one flag the Amer ican flag; we have room for but one language the English language; we Jiave room for but one soul loy alty and that Is loyalty to the Amer ican people." Hundreds of people from St. Johns and many from Portland stood for an hour in the heat while the cere mony was tn progress. Officals of the grand lodge of Masons weTe in charge of the ceremony. Captain George L. Edmonstone, superin tendent of properties of school dis trict No. 1, was acting grand mas ter. The authorized acting grand lodge officers in their regalia head ed a parade through the streets of St. Johns. In the parade was the entire membership of Doric lodge, No. 132, of St. Johns, the St. Johns district police force, headed by Lieutenant R- L Crane as grand marshal of the day, and the Masonic band. Crowd Gather at Siand. .Arriving at the'new high school building, which is located at the corner of Alma and Ida streets, just off Lombard street, southeast of St. Johns, the grand lodge officials marched to the platform while the members of the St. Johns lodge and Portland visitors and the populace of St. Johns gathered close about the stand. Rev. Oswald W. Taylor, as grand chaplain, led the prayer. After the formal ceremony, W. G. Wharton, grand tyler, declared the cornerstone officially laid. . William F.
