The truck, or rather simple but powerful machine that 'hiv.s It, Is the invention of H. B, Ew 1 n.k Jr., an electrical engineer, who was p-sociated for a number of years with Ti'omas A. Edison, and who later spent s i veral years in eastern automobile fac tories. He was advised by Edison to lake up the business of manufacturing automobiles, and it was while employed In a plant of thit kind in Hartford, ivmn.. that Mr. Ewbank became con vinced that electric power generated by n gasoline engine could e transmitted r.ireotly and made to drive trucks, motor bouts, fire engines, street or lnterurban cars, etc."; " CominK to Portland several months e co to visit bis father, Mr. Ewbank pre-f-ntti his theories and plans to several well known local business men, with the result that a company was quickly or ganized and ample capital furnished" to enable the "young- Inventor to build ' a tar. to demonstrate his principle. The company was organized as The Ewbank . Power Transmission & Motor Co., and is officered a follows: - M. Hears of the Portland Cordage company, president; George W. Stapleton of Coo vert & Stapleton, attorney, vice presi dent: Rv S. Howard,, assistant, cashier Ladd & Tilton, treasurer; Dr. H. B. Ew bank, secretary.

It is understood that a site will be secured In this city at once and a plant erected to manufacture the Ewbank truck. Interested spectators ' at the demon stration of the truck were the local rep resentatives of the Westinghouse com I any, an official of the Babcock Electric Motor Car company and a number of lo cal people who are interested In various transportation companies.

KLLD CONVICTS V'Ml !l" Barons to Depend Upon Argu . ment to' Save Thern From -Jail Terms, " l'B!t! Pn-ei I-eatw! Wlr.l Chicago, .March 14. John II. Miller, chief attorney for J. Ogden Armour and nine other Chicago "beef barons"- on trial here for criminal conspiracy under the Sherman law today announced to fnlted States District Judge Carpenter, who is trying the case,, that the pack ers would rest their case without evi dence, depending" upon argument alone to save them from going to Jail. Immediately upon receiving the Infor mation, Judge Carpenter ordered a re cess until Monday, when the arguments In the case will begin. - , . The decision of the packers to refuse any evidence came alter a stormy ses sion in an ante room of the court. For long time today after the court opened Judge Carpenter-waited for the pack ers' attorneys. They were closeted nearby and IV was not until . 10:40 o'clock that the conference, which at times waxed warm, was concluded and Miller, entering the court, made his an nouncement. It is believed the real reason why no defense Is to tie Offered try the packers was the refusal of J. Ogden Armour and others to personally take the stand and submit -to cross-examination. J! Judge Carpenter has Indicated that the arguments of attorneys for the beef trust and the government will not be limited and they will probably contume most of. next week, It is reported that Edward Morris, who contributed $3S0,000 to the defnnse fund, insisted that a full defense be presented in the conference today. The National Packing company and the Swift group favored a brief .defense but Armour favored resting the case at once and. his preponderating Influence de cided the day. - , KILLING OF PHILOMATH WIDOW CLEARED UP ; V AFTER LONG MAN:HUNT (Continued from Page One.) a wagon, George and Charlie Humphrey started north from Philomath. Then there was a period during which they seemed to have been swallowed up. At this Juncture the Investigation was given over to W. 3. Mitchell and L. Q. Carpenter, detectives of Portland, with offices in the Wilcox, building. Search for Humphrey was begun im mediately after W. J.. Mitchell had vis ited the old home of the Humphreys near Philomath and discovered a pair of mismated shoes, which had been worn by George. The shoes opened an avenue of Information which led to his arrest and his subsequent confession. Finally a few" days ago the Humphrey family was found living in a cabin in the woods four or five miles ,:from Banks, in Washington county. ,' Mrs. King, mother of the boys, was suffering from a stroke of paralysis from which It Was apparent she could not recover, She was living in squalor In the woods. entirely apart from neighbors, alone wun tne two son?, wno ere Between 48 and 61 years of age, and bachelors. Last week Mrs. King died, and the body was taken to Pallas for burial. A son from Moscow, Idaho, came to the fu neral andjs with Charlie at the moun tain cabin now, neither knowing of the predicament in which George has sud denly found himself. 'C"-;.'''" : Prepares to leave the State. When the Humphreys returned from the funeral of their mother George Im mediately placed his land on the market and made the announcement ' that he would leave the country. Then the de tectives . found , the ' psychological mo ment for the arrest. Up to this time no one in this section of the country knew of the presence of Humphrey in the woods near Banks. V . , . i, Yesterday Sheriff George Hancock and District Attorney Tongue were given the "case that arrest might be made. : Sheriff Hancpck and Deputy Jesse Applegate went out to the moun tain retreat, only to find Humphrey com ing to Forest Grove to see real estate men about the sale ef his land. He was arrested And brought to the county jail yesterday afternoon.' He was complete ly overcome by his arrest, and for hours maintained to the officers that he knew nothing of the crime. . , ' ; Faithful Soft- a Giveaway. By 10 o'clock last, night he had been given all the facts held against him, and he faced the telltale shoes, the facts of his faithful dog having followed him to the house of death, and even to the pond where the body was deposited. On his face and neck were still the scars left by the dying womans' fingernails. George Hunphrey , was beaten, and for the first time his cunning failed to ex plain his predicament. Then he told the story as outlined in the signed con fession. " : For two hours Humphrey gave de tails of the tragedy, piecemeal, between sobs of real anguish. Before he reached ' . .. . 7 . the county jail he was In tears and he was not able to control himself for long when any of the facts of the tragedy were repeated to him. . After he bad signed his confession Humphrey lay down In his cell and this morning he appeared to have slept considerable, al though broken in spirit and apparently feeling better than he had for a long time. - Bepeats Confession to Tongue.' To make doubly sure of the correct ness of the confession, which was made to W. J. Mitchell and L. G. Carpenter, detectives. Sheriff Hancock of Washing ton county and A. H. Harris, a news paper man of Portland, District Attor ney Tongue was called from his -home last night and to him Humphrey repeat ed, practically without change, the facts of the tragedy. Then Humphrey signed his confession. .. Humphrey is SI years of age, and was borrt in Wisconsin. For about 80 years he has lived in Oregon When a small boy he lost his father and his -mother married again. Her second hus. band lived near Wheatland 15 years ago. Neither George Humphrey or his brother Charlie has married. While living near Philomath he wore his hair long, his locks reaching well down over his shoulders. He had his hair cut and was shaved in order that lie' might attend the funeral of his mother. A, Widow for 23 Tears. The murder of Mrs. Griffith was pe culiarly atrocious. For years she- had 11 ved In the neighborhood, her son George being at home most of the time. When he was away at work Mrs. Grif fith stayed alone. Her husband died of consumption 22 years ago. Four daughi ters were at home at the time of Mrs Griffith's death, but they married and went away, three now residing in Pert land. The neighbors knew of these con ditions and had urged Mrs.-Griffith to make urmngements to have company at her jinma .' ilis. Griffith was 66 years of age, and Ownership cf Water Lines by Rail.

Mrs. Griffith was of medium build, weighing about 125 . pounds. She had never expressed fear or uneasiness un til a few months before her death, per haps after the Humphrey family came to the neighborhood. She had expressed fear of George Humphrey to wdmen neighbors, buts she persisted that the fear was more or less nervousness. ; Following the tragedy, which oo curred.i on Friday, June 2, search re vealed the location df the body Batur- day forenoon.

V me Cine of the faithful Bos'.., " George Humphrey's faithful dog was an Important, element in the tracing of the murderer of Mrs. Griffith. Follow ing his master on the fateful day, the dog's footprints , were imbedded In the soft clay on the banks of Rock creek. All dogs' feet are not alike, and it was discovered that George Humphrey's dog could have made the footprints, while It was practicallyi, impossible that any other dog In the neighborhood could have done so. Along with the footprints of the dog were the footprints of a man wearing one heavy shoe with- nails in the sole and an ordinary shoe with the sole and heel little worn. These shoes were found at the Humphrey house, and were one of the essential elements (n the case against him. He had been sen wearing the mismated shoes while at work. ( What Humphrey Is tike. Humphrey has spent all his life in the woods. lie has followed wood-cut ting much of the time, eking out a mis- erable existence until the last few years, when he began, to accumulate a little property. His hamln show hard work. and 'he has a slight stoop, bearing mute evidence of the hard ,munual labor he has done. In. 'intellect he is below nor mal, in physique he Is rather slight of build, with the complexion of the un moral.

Considerable unfavorable comment has been made on the action of the city council in rushing through an amend ment to the billboard ordinance passed by the people at the general election last June. The measure was submitted to the council at .an adjourned session less than two weeks ago and was passed yesterday at the regular aesslon. In the opinion of Councilmen .Wlll H. Daly, Ralph C. Clyde and James A, McGulre. the ordinance, .amending as It does, a law enacted by the people, whose rep resentatives the councllmen are, should" have been thoroughly dissected In com mittee before being , finally submitted to the lawmakers. . .. The amending ordinance was drafted by City Attorney Frank 8. Grant wl0 says he prepared It rather than make a useless legal fight to enforce the old ordinance, which he has declared 'uncon stitutional. Has Done Bis Duty, "I haVe simply done my duty," said Mr. Grant today, "but if ; there Is any criticism, accorded me T. shall have to stand It, ' Notwithstanding any censure I will continue to render my opinions in accordance with my Judgment, let them affect who or what they will. If a law passed by the. people Is uncon stitutional U Is my' duty to say so when called upon to render an opinion. believe the initiative billboard ordi nance Is unconstitutional and have ex plained my views at great length.

The amendatory ordinance omits more than a dozen important provisions of the initiative measure, these having all been. ruled out by the city attorney on ac count,' he says, of their unconstitution ality. , Some of the sections contained in the people s ordinance and left out of the one passed by the council are: First A section giving the building inspector power to pass upon the con struction of billboards.

The city : attorney also changed the old provision requiring that all bill boards, both within and without the fire limits, be constructed of noncombustible material. He stated that this was un reasonable for the reason that the same restrictions that apply to the fire lim its do not extend outside. ' In lieu of this provision ; the new ordinance specifies what the Construc tion of the different types and classes of : boards Khali be.
