She was carried from the court room and her clients, B. A. Conley and T. D. Proctor, confessed burglars, were taken back to the county jail to prepare for stays at San Quentln penitentiary of from one to five years each. Conley and Proctor pleaded guilty to having- entered a store here and stealing furs valued at $16,000. Mrs. Adams took much interest in the case and her husband supplied a bond for Conleys release before the trial. . After pleading guilty they asked for probation. This was re fused by the court, who contended the burglary was premeditated. Im posing of sentences followed. Then Mrs. Adams fainted. Ernest Bamberger, William Wattis and J. R. Clark Prominent in Race for Nomination. BY DARRELL J. GKEENWELU (Copyright, 1922, by The Oresonian.) SALT LAKE CITY, U.. July 8. (Special.) Utah republicans will meet in convention here next Friday to nominate a candidate for United States senator against William H. King, democrat, incumbent. There are three outstanding can didates: Ernest Bamberger, William H. Wattis and J. Reuben Clark. The indications are tlfat the race will be between Mr,. Bamberger and Mr. Wattis. neither of, whom is member of the Mormon church, a situation which should be interest ing to outsiders observing politics in Utah, where a majority of the voters are members of the doml. cant church. Bamberger Is Prominent. Mr. Bamberger is a member of a Jewish, family prominently identi ties, with the Industrial advfsnce- ment of the state. He is a mining engineer and is actively interested in this Important city. He is a nephew of Simon Bamberger, ex governor, who, however, is a demo- viae frueai u zsmjiuirig in nis party is indicated by the fact that he is national committeeman from Utah. He is a resident of Salt Lake City. Mr. Wattis is a resident of Og den, the second largest city in the Mate. He is general manager of the Utah-Idaho Sugar company, head of the Utah Construction com pany and an officer and director of several Utah businesses. Mr. Wat tis' start In life was humble. His friends call him a real self-made man. He has been teamster, miner and railway contractor, later in vesting heavily in sugar stocks. Wattis Twice Defeated. I Six years ago he was the repub-! lican candidate for congress in the first Utah congressional district, but went down to defeat in the democratic landslide. Two years ago he sought to be nominated for I governor, but failed. Agitation about sugar prices was declared to have hurt his cause, in view of his connection with sugar companies. The third candidate, Mr. Clark, is connected with the state department at Washington. A former Utah school teacher, he left Utah 17 years ago, studied law and achieved success in his profession. He is considered a splendid campaigner and has rendered good services to his party in this capacity In other states. While Mr. Clark will com mand some strength at the conven tion, party leaders aver that his long absence from Utah has injured his chances of obtaining the nom ination. - ' ' j Non-Mormon Conceded. Visitors from other states fre quently ask how it is that In a state in which a majority of the voters are Mormons, two non-Mormons cart be the outstanding candidates. For years in Utah there has been, a feel ing among voters that if one United States senator was a member of the dominant church, the other should be a non-Mormon or Gentile, as he is called in Utah. At present both senators from Utah Reed Smoot and William H. King1 are members of the dominant church, but it happened that at the time Mr. King received the demo cratic nomination for senator, a. non- Mormon, Simon Bamberger, was nominated for governor and iater elected. Thus this understanding of dividing the high office was not violated, it is pointed out. Bourbon Situation Complex. The democratic situation was com plicated late in June when friends of .Senator King let it be known that he was a receptive candidate for the nomination to succeed him self. No date for the democratic nominating convention has been set, but talk of candidates is heard. W. R. Wallace, a Salt Lake busi ness man and expert on irrigation problems, is mentioned as a candi date for the nomination, as is also W. W. Armstrong, a Salt Lake banker. DONALD E.

Literary Digest Sends Out Million ' Ballots to Voters All , Over Country. A nation-wide poll on the ques tions of prohibition and the federal bonus, two of the biff Droblems now before the public, is being taken by7 the Literary Digest with a view to obtaining some pre-election infor mation on the public sentiment on these two questions. - Secret ballots have been mailed to 10,000,000 voters, representing all classes of citizens in all sections of the country. The return of these ballots is expected to give a com prehensive idea of the feeling of the voters on these problems. Three different phases of prohibi tion are to be voted on the ques tion of enforcement, modification or repeal. Voters also have beep asked to designate whether or not they favor a national federal bonus for ex-soldiers and sailors. The results of the poll will be published in the Literary Digest. BY WILLIAM BIRD. (Copyright, 1922. bv The Oresonian.) PARIS, July s. Special cable.) Premier Poincare's desire for self exculpation has opened for him a pandora's box of troubles. America knows very little about the cam paign conducted for a long time in the French socialist and radical pa pers against Pontcare and the war. This campaign has sought to prove, by producing documents derived principally from Russian sources. that Polncare foresaw and actively prepared for the war in collabora tion with the czars government and even pledged France to back Russia whenever the latter was ready. Poincare, during the last year, has become increasingly irritated be cause of the character of this cam paign. Just before assuming the premiership he delivered a series of lectures on the origin of the war. wherein he summed up the evidence of Germany's guilt. But the cam paign has continued and certain pa pers never mention the name of the premier without attaching the war thereto. Cemetery Laugh Shown. Recently a communist dally printed a picture showing Poincare and American Ambassador Herrlck walking through the cemetery at Verdun apparently laughing. This picture has been" printed on hun dreds "of thousands of postcards. Dignity would seem to demand that such a matter be ignored, but Poin care, when taunted with it in the chamber demanded an open debate on the whole question. All parties, even Eis most bitter enemies, with the exception of the communists, supported him and he received an overwhelming vote of confidence, which apparently -clears him and greatly strengthened his position. To those on the inside, however, it is obvious- that his demand for a vote on such a question is as much a sign of weakness as it was when Lloyd George demanded a vote on the vague terms made public re garding the Genoa conference plans. In reality. Poincare. while saving himself, has opened a most trouble some question, which will not down. Both Lloyd-George and (Jlemenceau have declared that Germany's guilt for commencing the war la the basis for the whole Versailles treaty and unless that is admitted the entire structure falls to the ground. There fore, opening the subject brings the whole peace settlement Into doubt and while the French chamber may readily vote overwhelmingly for Germany's guilt, a question arises in many minds. Versailles Verdict Discounted. Versailles was a gathering of vic tors, not judges, and their verdict cannot be held to establish judicial truths. , What is certain to arise in all countries which do snot accept the treaty of Versailles, and among men who look at the facts imper sonallyia a demand for an impartial judicial investigation into this ques tion. Scientific truth cannot be decided by a majority or even an unanimous vote of a non-partisan body. The result is a decided weakening of the Versailles treaty and many of the men who voted for Poincare are sick I at heart that this question ever was raised and wish that Poincare had consulted hiB supporters before pre cipitating the matter. Some angrily declare that he precipitated the af fair on the eve of the adjournment of the French chamber, in order to achieve a personal victory. A few express cynical satisfaction that Vlviani jumped In and grabbed a large share of easy glory in elo quent speech against Poincare's de sires. In fact, far a moment the de bate looked like a free-for-all, with every ambitious politician attempt ing to make what political capital he could by supporting the side that was sure to get an overwhelming majority. But if this debate provokes a gen eral demand for an impartial judi cial investigation into the origin of the war and results in a verdict that the world can accept as fair and un biased, then it will not have been in vain, while If the verdict is In favor of the thesis adopted at Ver sailles, the result can only be to strengthen the treaty's authority. Bull Declared Champion. CENTRALIA, Wash., July 8. (Special.) J. D. McGuire, owner of the Oak Grove stock farm at Te- nino, owns one of the best bulls In the west, according to A. E.

Supreme Court of State Declines i to Reverse Verdict on Errors Assigned by Defense. . OLTMPIA, Wash.. July 8. (Spe cial.) Conviction of James E Ma honey for the murder of his aged wife, Kate Mooers Mahoney, and the death sentence imposed by Judge Ronald, in superior court of King county, October 1, 1921, were af firmed fcy the supreme 'court today. Date for Mahoney's execution will be set by Judge Ronald as soon as the supreme court's remlttur goes down to his court. "It is our conclusion," the supreme court opinion says, "that the defend ant had a fair trial and considering its length and the number of wit nesses the debatable questions are few. The evidence, while largely circumstantial, was scr clear and overwhelming as to leave no ques tion of the Justness of the verdict rendered." Most of the 23 assignments of er ror on which Mahoney's attorneys based their plea for reversal of the lower court are treated very briefly by the supreme court, gome being dismissed with bare reference. Spe cific consideration, however, is given to the contention that the trial court erred in Instructing the jury that it could find only first-degree murder or acquittal, leaving out the lesser degrees. "We have come to the conclusion that in order to find the defendant guilty at all the jury must accept evidence which in Itself shows pre meditation, which is the element necessary to raise the offense from second to first degree murder," the opinion says. Judge Ronald's remark during the questioning of Jurors that "Lips may He, but circumstances never lied in the worlds an assignment of error on which the defense strongly relied for reversal, "was not in accord with the impartiality which should be maintained by the trial judge but the trial judge was considerably tried by the delay experienced in getting the jury. If it had been made after the jury was impaneled and he had made it with reference to evidence then before the jury it would probably constitute reversible error. We consider that at the time it was made it was in the nature of a statement upon an abstract propo sition and while the remark was highly improper and could well have been left unsaid, they did not con stitute reversible error." MAHONEY NOT CONCERNED "What's the . Difference?" Says Slayer, Learning Decision. SEATTLE, Wash., July 8. (Spe cial.) Sheriff Starwich this morning informed James E. Mahoney that the state supreme court had sustained his conviction and sentence to . be hanged for the murder of his wife, Kate M. Mahoney, whose mutilated body was found in a trunk in Lake Union many weeks after the com mission of the crime. "What's the difference?" said Ma honey. "I might as well have been hanged a year ago as now. A per son has to die some time. But I'm not in Walla Walla yet,' and if my lawyers stick by me I may not be for some time." , , Lewis B. Schwellenbach, one of Mahoney's lawyers, said that the su preme court would be -asked for a rehearing. The defense has 30 days in which to make this requesC and it probably will be deferred to the last moment of that period. Mr. Schwellenbach also spoke of the possibility of appealing to the United States supreme court. The state supreme court's remittitur will not be sent down until the 30 days have elapsed, and until it comes no new date for the execution will be set. E EASTERN OREGON AND WASH INGTON MEETING HELD. Blue Mountain Highway Associa tion Elects Paul Weyrauch of Walla Walla President. PENDLETON. Or., July 8. (Spe cial.) Eastern Oregon and Wash ington united today at Weston in organization work to obtain the construction of the Blue Mountain highway, which will cross the Blue Mountains at the old historic toll gate, running from Weston to El gin. The pass is a most important connecting link in the system of roads on the Umatilla national for est and it is considered likely -that federal forest road money' will be available. The road as tentatively outlined is approximately 42 miles long, but it present is little more than a trail. So in spite of its ter rible condition, many cars cross the mountains dally.

Wash Cleaning "MO method has been devised for the cleaning of Oriental rugs equal to the original method of wash cleaning by hand. This method meets the natural re quirements of an all-wool or silk rug. It removes soot, dust and grit without the use of chemicals or mechanical means. By the use of proper soap, pure water and . fresh air, the rich colors of the vegetable dyes are given new life, and the silk-like luster of the wool is im proved. Ordinary methods of cleaning, be cause of lack of knowledge, often prove injurious to Oriental rugs. If the nat ural oil of the wool nap is removed the rug becomes lifeless. The effect is noticeable only in the gradual dimming of the natural luster. BOW TO CARE FOR YOUR RUGS : Oriental rags should be wash-cleaned at least every two $ears. Meanwhile they may be kept in good order by gen tly whipping them on the back and , sweeping the nap with a corn,broom. . We have the best equipped plant of its kind in the west for wash-cleaning Oriental rugs. The work is done by men who learned their trade in the Orient. Charges are proportioned to the grade and size of rug and the amount of attention needed. Estimates will gladly be furnished. A circular of explanation is yours for the asking.
