Johnson's alleged confession, how

so full of Inconsistencies and so at
variance with statements he has
made since his arrest that the police
are not inclined to give it full cre
dence. In the alleged confession, he
declares he has been married to so
many women that he can't count
them off hand.
-In 1906," he said, "I quit my
business of buying horses and fiom
that day to this I have been making
my Hying by marrying and making
love to women and' getting their
money arid then deserting them."
Ono of his most amazing features,
according to Ills own confession, was
making love to ten Svomen at one
time in Portland, Oregon.
While he admits he got money
from most of them and that his mar
riages were in part on the "get rich
quick" system, Johnson declared that
In every instance lie spent the money
he received upon the victim herself.
"They ikept me broke all the time,"
Is the way he expresses it.
He gives
tho names of some of his
alleged
victims In Portland as Mrs., Elizabeth
Jones and a Mrs. De Loom, wife of
a sea captain. He married Mrs.
Jones, he says, but only made love
to Mrs. DeLoem.

cided to have a committee headed

sible effort to secure the organiza
tion of a National Guard Company

meeting of the executive committee
of the Chamber of Commerce yes
terday, it had been decided to re

thought they could do especially
good work on the entertainment
side. He said that Col. Grimes had
reported that Oregon had become
greatly Interested In the Coos Bay
Boise project through the efforts of
the Oregon-Idaho Development con
gress and that It was essential to
make a success of the meeting here.
In case It is impossible to have pri
vate Interests take tho railroad pro
ject in hand and complete it, it will
be necessary to carry the amendment
to the constitution in the fall of 1910
so that the dlstiict can be taxed and
bonded for the project, in view of
this possibility, it is essentia1! to eni
list as much of the state as possible

that it will be necessary for someone
to guarantee the other $20 per
month. E. W. Kammerer, Jay
Doyle, E, A. Dodge and others said
that if a company was. organized
here, the company could easily make
up that amount by giving dances and
entertainments. Dr. MIngus said
