mises that he will probably be person
ally responsible for the bill.

river and harbor committee he has long
taken a great interest in the Improve

GOOD ROADS BILL

Joint committees from the State

ciation and the Oregon Good Roads' con
ference met at ths Commercial club this
morning to discuss the preparation of a
general good roads ' bill, which, It is
hoped, the legislature will enact into a
law at the coming session.
Several drafts of. bills have been pre
pared by various people, and the joint
committees are considering them with
the view to taking from each what Is
best in It and trying to : embody the
result into a new bill. An agreement
was reached this morning that when

Harriet Catlin, Misled Girl,
Says She Will Throw Her
. self on Court's Mercy.
Still maintaining consistently that she
was perfectly willing to stand trial for
grand larceny for the theft of $260 from
her Seattle employerHarrlet-Catlin, the
pretty young woman of 25 years who
was persuaded by a man known to the
polloe as Jacob Phillips to flee with
him from the Puget sound city with
the money and to live with him here
as his wife until he found another
woman, left this morning with a de
tective bound for Seattle.
Catlin is not' the young woman's true
name, it is said. She allows herself to
be called by the real name of the man
who turned her over to the police last
week.
The pair met in Victoria. B. C. a few
months ago. They were employed in
the same establishment.- Phillips,
whose real name Is alleged to be Phillip
Catlin. prevailed on the young wdman to
go with him to Seattle, where he prom
ised her a position In a tailor shop
which he was to open there. Without
the advice of a parent or guardian, for
she had none this side of England, the
girl left British Columbia and went to
Seattle with Catlin. so she says. She
went to work ai a stenographer, and
while employed wis entrusted with $260
of the firm's motley. Catlin learned of
it and induced the young woman to flee
with him taking , the money, telling
her that she newer -could be prosecuted
for anything but breach of trust.
After living with her here for months,
Catlin became infatuated with a mar
tied woman with four children, accord
ing to the story told by the girl, and
attempted td transport her to Spokane.
The girl refused to go and Catlin turned
her over to the police, telling them of
the theft 'of the money from the Seattle
man.
Accidentally, however, in Catlln's tale
he told part of his own Immoral history
since meeting his young captive, anil
was himself lodged in jail on a very
serious charge.
Before leaving this morning the
young woman declared that she would
confess to having Stolen the money and
throw herself on the mercy of the
court. She .declared that she was going;
to ask to be allowed to work and pay
back every cent of the money she hail
taken and not one cent of which she
spent herself, but which was taken
away from her by Catlin He invested

fleet to the Japanese, who, he said, now
practically dominate the trade of the
Pacific. Also, in the event of war with
Japan, the United States would be
handicaped by the lack of transporta

Forestry and Timber Tariff.
Professor C. H. Goetz of the forestry
division of Washington State college,
who preceded him, speaking; on "For
estry In Kuropean Countries," declared
the tariff on raw timber and pulp im
ported from Canada, added to the states'
taxation on timber land owners' crop
year after year, practically necessitated
his cutting it before "ripe," to meet his
taxes, virtually placing a premium upon
deforestation.
