ing confessed that he killed James E.
Camm, nightr watchman at the South
Jersey Basket and Hamper company's
factory, Gilbert Maddox, colored, has
been held by the coroner to await the
action of the grand jury.
The confession wss obtsined from
Maddox by J. Hampton Flthlan, prose
cuting attorney, who laid It before the
coroner's jury at the Inquest today.
There has been considerable feeling
agsinst the prisoner since his arrest and
today, to view of his confession,, which
had been kept secret until presented to
the coroner's iu nr. Mr. Flthlan decided
to keeD Maddox In Jail to avoid a possl-
oie demonstration at. tne investigation.
The jury's verdict was as follows:
"We find that Jamas E. Camm came
to bis death as the result or a blow on
the head from a woodchopper's ax In
tne nana or uiioert Maddox.
Tne inauest was of short duration.

a laborer at the factory, and of finding
blood spots on tne prisoner s shoes,
trousers and shirt. ' The clothes had
been hidden behind a trunk In Maddox's
come.
Camm a head was almost hacked from
the body. The first theory of the po
lice was that Camm. who is a man of
small stature, had been murdered for
Ills week s wages. This was disproved
afterward when the bloody envelope was
found beneath the body.
Suspicion pointed to Maddox and he
was arrested several hours after the
murder. A large crowd of excited people-followed
him to the Jail and threats
of lynching were freely made.

CIIURCn DEDICATED
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.
Pendleton. Or., Oct. 21. In an answer
filed by the defendants In the case of
the Maxwell Land & Irrigation com
pany against L. W. Furnas and wife
some sensational allegations were made
against the former officers of the Irri
gation company. They are to the ef
fect that while ostensibly endeavoring
to reclaim land In the Maxwell valley
the real motive of the men In the cor
poration was to secure control of large
tracts of land In that section.
On January 80, 1904, an agreement
was made between the Minnehaha Irrl-
fatlon company and Furnas whereby
he company was to supply water for
the reclamation of 320 acres, of land to
be filed on under the desert land act
by Furnas. In return for the perpet
ual water right the defendants were to
puy the company (19,400, or if they
chose they could deed the company 240
acres of the land filed upon.
According to the allegations con
tained in the answer just riled. It wan
the mutual understanding that Furnas
would deed the company 240 acres of
land instead of paying the 119,400. But
after the contract was made the Min
nehaha company sold out to the Max
well I,and & Irrigation company. Later
this company disposed of its wi.ter
rights to the government and neVer
filled its contract for watering the land
filed upon by Furnas. The defendants
now as
with their part of the contract on the
ground that the Irrigation company
Tailed to nil its agreement.

Olympla, Wash., Oct 21. The su
preme court In an opinion written by
Justice Dunbar and concurred In by
five other members of the bench has
refused to allow the Increase of sala
ries aranted by the act of the last leg
islature to a number of the appointive 1
state orricers, including tne memDers or
the board of control, labor commis
sioner, mine Inspector and land commissioner.
The action was brought In the su
preme court by James H. Davis, mem
ber of tne state board or control. He
was appointed on April 1, 1905, for the
term of six years, the salary at that
time being 12,000 per annuam. By
chapter 166 of the laws of 19U7 the last
legislature increased tne salary to
23,000 per annum. The governor then
recommended Davis as a member of the
board of control, under date of June 12,
1907.
In accordance therewith, Davis pre
sented his salary claim for monthly al
lowance at the rate of S3, 000 per an
num. State Auditor Clausen, acting on
t lie advice cr Attorney-ueneral AtKln
son, refused to lienor the requisition
for Increased salary, on the ground that
Davis was a member of the board at
the time of the passage of the act of
1907. and that his salary could not
he legnlly Increased during the term
for which he was appointed.
Davis contended that the provision of
the law of 1901 which prescribes the
time at which the term or office begins.
-as repealed by the act of 1907 and
Is no longer the law, and that therefore
the governor was called on to recom
misslon tho members of the board, their
terms of office dating from the new
commission.
In the opinion of the court It Is
pointed out that the new law is prac
tically a reenactment of the old law.

lating to salaries.

FIRE PROTECTION
(United Press Leased Wire.)
New York, Oct. 21 The belief among
the political leaders of both parties that
William J. Bryan aspires to be the
Democratic standard bearer again next
year and the feeling, moreover, that he
will soon make formal announcement of
his candidacy for the nomination has
created a more or less lively Interest
In his present visit to the east. Open
ing with an address in Cooper Union
a speaking tour that will consume sev
eral weeks and provides for his appear
ance in most of the large cities of New
York state and New England.
Mr. Bryan was tn have made his
initial speech tonight, not In Cooper
Union, which has a comparatively small
seating capacity, but In Madison square
garden, which was the scene of one of
his most notable triumphs on the oc
casion of his welcome home on his re
turn from a tour of the world. His
rosltlve refusal, however, to accept con
rlbutlons from corporations or other
large financial Interests, it Is stated,
handicapped the management so much
for funds that the plan to have the
demonstration in Madison square gar
den had to be abandoned. Carnegie hall
was given up for the sarrtts reason, and
It was finally decided to hold the meet
ing in Cooper Union. If the occasion
warrants It an overflow meeting will
be held to accommodate the crowd.

(Special Dl. pitch to Tbs Journal.)
Kennewlck, Wash., Oct. 21. The con
tractors who make a specialty of level
ing and grading orchard tracts in the
Kennewlck valley report that they are
overwhelmed with work and simply can
not keep up with business offered them.
An unusual number or tracts are being
put in condition for planting this fall.
and the indications are that even more
land will be set out to vines and trees
this year than last. L. E. Jarnigan has i
just had a 30-acre tract leveled and has 1
installed a pumping plant close to the
canal. Mr. Jarnigan intends setting out
a nursery on this land and his prepara
tions are well under way. Otto Hanson
is having a large tract leveled close to
the Columbia river, and George Arm
strong, a local building contractor, will
have a 40-acre tract leveled. Most of
the leveling, however, Is being done on
five and l6-acre tracts.
