2 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, TORTLAXD, OCTOBER 20. 1922 CORONER PROBES KILLING OF RECTOR Public Excluded From In quest at Havre.. REPORTERS ARE SNUBBED Officials Denounce What They Call Effort to I'ncover Big Sensation. HAVRE: Mont., Oct. 28. Official investigation by a coroner's jury into the deaths of the Rev. Leonard Jacob Chriatler and Mrs. Margaret Carleton lasted until late tonight, no witnesses being examined until the night session. The public was excluded from the inquest. According to authorities, there were no developments tending to disprove the story of Mrs. Christler to the effect that she heard shots in the next rCom, opened the door, and saw the body of her husband on the floor and saw Mrs. Carleton shoot herself. Mrs. J. H. Phyle, formerly Mrs. Hon Davenport, mother , of Mrs. Carleton arrived at Havre today, hut was in a condition of such ner vousness that she was unable to discuss the tragedy with the police. BiKhop Faber to Speak. Bishop Faber. head of the Montana diocese of the Episcopal church, will preach the funeral sermon, and business houses in Havre will be closed for an hour out of regret to fhe late rector, "the bishop of all outdoors." Activities of press correspondents lirrs rlo not find favor with Coroner Holland, who, expressing resentment this morning, said "all they want is something sensational," and he fol lowed his statement with the inti mation that the killing of the noted minister, supposedly, he said, by a member of the minister's parish, was not particularly the public's affair. Coroner Holland said that when Mrs. Carleton, who. according to his version, shot the minister and then turned the gun on herself, ending her own .life, came to the Christler home at 1 o'clock Friday morning she acted demented and that in view of this and statements made to him by Mrs. Christler, he was convinced no inquest was necessary as, he said "I know and all the officials know how the killing came about." Correspondents Are Rebuffed. When "asked to state what Mrs. Christler had told him to convince him that the killing was a murder and suicide. Coroner Holland said again it was not the public's busi ness and thai he wuld not make Mrs. Christler's statement public un less he should receive the consent of Mrs. Phyle, mother of Mrs. Carle ton. If Mrs. Phyle should desire an in quest, the coroner said, he would ar range one and would call Mrs. Christler to the stand and let he! tell her own story. While Dr. Christler was best known in northern Montana, his ac tivities had taken him to other parts of the state and he was widely known in Butte and Helena. When he came to Montana the saloon was an established institu tion and gambling was not uncom mon. The rector seemed to accept these things as part of the west; indeed, he often was found in bar rooms with friends 9t all times of the night, and while he did not drink, he seemed to have patience with those, who did. His friends said lie- leiL II1H.L ne wan iicoucu ii, oum places and he exerted his influence for good without attempting any of th methods of the ordinary re former. y ' Pride Taken In Work. As a missionary, Dr. Chrisler took a pride in his work. His territory embraced an area of about 600 miles long and 300 miles wide. In it were the Little Rockies, the Bear Paw mountains and other regions notori ous for the desperadoes they had produced. He knew these remote camps well and visited them as often as his duties would permit. He came to the state at a time when the great cate ranges of the north began to contract under the activities of the dry land farmer, a period of transition in which the stock-growing industry changed its character in large part. He saw certain sections provide homes for many settlers, but for the most part his district still is sparsely inhabited, and the towns 'small and widely separated. The country appealed to him and he loved the name "bishop of all out doors," given him by Stewart Ed ward White in a novel. HAMMER BLOWS AHEAD (Continued From First Page.) forecast. It has broken party lines largely through Mr. Pierce's ad vocacy of the bill. ' - . - Outside of Oregon the nation is watching the result, for the im pression is abroad that the Ku Klux Klan is strurgling to capture this state. - - Special "Tickets" Distributed. ' The special "tickets" are being distributed. The old, familiar orange tickefrof the Federation of Patriotic Societies was issued several days ago while yesterday the klan ticket bobbed up, also on orange paper. There is not the harmony existing between these organizations that existed several months ago. On the whole, the klan ticket now called the Oregon Good Government League, Inc. is identical with the federation ticket, with a few excep tions. The klan has indorsed three democrats, George A. Lovejoy, Bert E. Haney ana Marshall W. Malone, for the legislature, dropping Walter Lynn and Mrs. C. B. Simmons.-, on the federation ticket. The klan is indorsing A. L. Stephens anil G. B. Cellars for city commissioners, while the federation favors George B. Thomas and C. A. Blgelow. The klan favors Gus E. Erickson for public service commissioner and the federation advocates T. M. Kerri gan. The klan indorses ' W. T. Vaughn, democrat, for circuit judge, and the federation indorses George Kcssman. The klan ticket is the same as the "progressive" ticket. Fred L. Gifford. grand dragon of the klan, signs the Oregon Good Gov ernment League, Inc., yellowy ticket, while the federation ticket to signed, a3 usual, by W. C. Elford. tttale to Be Flooded. Each of these organizations In tends flooding Portland and the state with their respective tickets. Enough yellow paper has been bought to print more than 000,000 tickets. Each county is to have its special yellow ticket. ' The Anti Blue Law league ticket now in cir culation will be confined to Port land for distribution. The Bchool bill issue has cropped up in the legislative field. Most of the democratic legislative candi dates are openly opposed to it, not withstanding that Mr. Pierce, dem ocratic candidate for governor, is for it. On the other hand, the re publican legislative ticket, almost without exception, is for the bill. In the congressional field the dem ocratic candidate, like the demo cratic nominee for governor, has made his bid for the forces behind the school bill, with an independent candidate for congress cutting in on mm. As in the past, there is a three-cornered contest for repre sentative of the third congressional district. C. N. -McArthur, repub lican nominee, has been conducting an energetic campaign on his rec ord. The fireworks are on for the week. COURT M111B) JUDGE PEMBliRTON TO GO TO OLYMPIA DECEMBER 1 .

IRISH TO APPROVE NEW CONST ITUTO Ulster Expected fo Reject . Free State Plan. BELFAST HOLDING BACK Canny Folk Refuse to Erase Bor der Until South Shows Governing Ability. BY PAUL WILLIAMS. (Chicago Tribune Forelftn Nws Service. Copyright. y ie tnicsgu inuuuc DUBLIN, Oct. 28. Two coming events of great importance in Ire land which already are accepted as facts are the approval of the free state constitution, and the decision of northeast Ulster not to join the free state. Plans are being made as if these alreauy had happened. And the makers o; themare more determined than cheerful. The executives of the six-county government and the executives of the 26-county government see a long and hard winter ahead, which will be much more bitter than if they occupied the same adminis tration building. The canny foot of Belfast will not erase their boundary until the' Dublin Irisji have proved conclusively that they can run the country. Border Is- Problem. This may take two years and it may take more, depending largely upon how much .of a quarrel de velops over the readjusting of the six-county border, how high a tariff wall Dublin builds around the 26 counties, and how much economic pressure is exerted in an effort to convince the northeasterners they cannot exist alone. They can come In and retain vir tually the independence a state has within the United States, and article 44 of the constitution is written expressly for Ulster. It empowers the free state parliament to create "subordinate legislatures with such powers as may be decided by law." In the original draft these powers were fixed and were amended to permit the Ulster body more leeway. Decision Due Soon. Ulster probably will announce its decision formally because Sir James Craig already has unmistakably indicated that he would do so be fore the first of the year. Duly signed,, the constitution of the free state will be handed next week to the ranking occupant of Vice-Regal Lodge here to be for warded to London. Its considera tion will be the first business of the new British parliament, which meets November 20. The discussion is not expected to consume more than a few days. The king will announce its passage in a proclamation and the free state will be a fact. Ulster will have one month to say no. school bill and thereby injected re ligious rancor into the ranks of the party. So keenly do some demo cratic stalwarts feel on this subject that they have bolted Mr. Pierce and they are men whose democracy has stood the acid test for a gen eration.. Apologists for Mr. Pierce in his own party state that his commit ment to the school bill was the price he paid to have Charles Hall elim inated as an independent, candidate for governor and to secure for him self the support of the forces be liind the school measure. Wlnbnrn Aialnat School BUI. Even Jesse Winburn, who con tributed $5000 to the Pierce cam paign and who has been.. directing the Pierce publicity, is dissatisfied with the Pierce -position and the contributor is roundly denouncing the school bill. Mr. Fierce says he will support the bill which his heav iest, contributor declares "is an ap peal to religious and racial intoler ance" and "hostile to true Ameri canism" and, adds the $5000 con tributor, despite Mr. Pierce's state ment that he will vote for it, "it is the highest duty of every true Amer ican to vote against" the bill. The sudden nd unexpected attack by Mr. y Winburn on the very measure which Mr. Pierce- depends on to elect him caused uneasiness in the Pierce fold yesterday and disturbed the morale. , It was what might be termed "bor ing from within." School Campaign Separate. A campaign is being waged for and against the school bill separate from the campaigns of Governor 01 cott and Mr. Pierce, but the school bill imbroglio is affecting the can didacies of both of these nominees. Proponents and antagonists of the school measure are on the stump and will be there until the eve of the election. This measure has aroused more bitterness than any other factor ever injected into an Oregon campaign in the past. But for this measure the present cam , paign would be a clean-cut affair whose,, outcome could, with ease, be MAYFLOWER HONOR AIM Sanction of Descendants' Society Asked in Petition. BOSTON, Oct. 28. A petition bearing the signature of many dis tinguished men, headed by Major General Leonard Wood, has been filed with the legislature, asking sanction for the organization of a corporation to be known as the General Society of Mayflower Des cendants. The petition sets forth the Intention to make the corpora tion a sort of mother society for or ganizations of Mawflower descend ants now in existence in various states. - . The organization purposes, the petition says, "to perpetuate to a remote posterity the memory of the Pilgrim Vathers and to maintain and defend the principles of civil and religious liberty a set forth in the compact of the Mayflower."
