Placer mining is to be done and 12,000 acres, said to be the largest placer project in the world, is owned. Men interested in this company say that Dudley constantly brooded) over the Mexican trouble. To one, a enort time before he disappeared, he spoke ot a new Mexican development as "pro longing his agony." Bourne's Mining1 Expert. Dudley was for 21 years Senator Bourne's mining engineer, prospector and confidential agent. He prospected through Alaska and had charge of Bourne's properties at Republic and Huby in Washington and the well known 13. and K. property near Jjump- ter, in this state. Friends know of no other cause for the suicide than the one mentioned. He had a few small dobts, but always repaid them, and according to Phil Metachan Jr., of the Imperial hotel. where Dudley lived for four years and up to the time of his disappearance, his financial situation was not such as to give him trouble. He was last seen by a Woman employe of the hotel in the downtown district the afternoon of February 2. According to Mrs. Miller, who estab lished the identification, he was born in Silverton. and was fk. close friend of Homer Davenport. The picture of the little girl that he wore in his watch was given him nine years ago. A brother, E. A. Dudley, resides at Athena, between Pendleton and Walla Walla, and is the owner of large wheat raising properties. He was informed by a Journal representative this morn ing of the discovery of his brother's body. He knew of the disappearance three months ago and came to Port land In an effort to trace his brother. He took charge of his brother's effects at that time, but came to the conclu sion he had gone to Mexico. Mr. Dudley was 65 years old. He was separated from his wife years ago. Two sisters reside in Eastern Oregon. Miss Ida M. Arneson, who has charge of Senator Bourne's office in the Chamber of Commerce building, scouts the idea of suicide. Just be fore his disappearance, she says, he bought some new clothes and had a considerable? amount of money on his person. She believe he was robbed and then murdered.

Committee on platform. C. P. GATES, Chairman. E. O. SHEPHERD, Secretary. Officers Are Chosen. Yesterday afternoon's session of the convention was devoted to the selec tion of permanent officers, appoint ment of committees on platform and nominations, and an address by Eu gene W. Chafin. Levi T. Pennington of Newberg, president of Pacific college, was made permanent chairman; Leslie Butler of Hood River, and Mrs. Charlotte Han nan of Portland, vice-chairman; J. A. Dunbar, of Portland, secretary; and Mrs. Ward Swope and J. S. Fox of Portland, assistant secretaries. A fight was made on the adoption of a two-thirds rule in the nomination of candidates, a small number of dele gates holding out for a majority rule. The two-thirders won, however, i In addition to yesterday's routine the whole effort of the day was toward bringing the convention in a proper frame of mind to put up Its own can didates for all offices. The leaders with one accord were busy In seeking to outgeneral the element of the con vention which favors adjournment until after the party primaries. The address of the temporary chairman and that of Mr. Chafin yesterday after noon indicated clearly that fusion with other parties in any way would be bitterly fought. Personnel of Committees.

Washington, May 6.-wA new view point regarding the Panama canal tolls question was voiced In the senate yes terday by Senator Stone. After asserting that the Baltimore platform did not pledge the Demo cratic party to subsidies, Stone de clared that congress had wisely passed the bill exempting American coastwise vessels from tolls. "America," he said, "has now demon strated that she has the right to ex empt vessels If she desires. But the government has gone far enough sim ply by making this flat declaration and should now repeal the exemption clause. "If we cannot safely and consist ently repeal the coastwise provision of the act of 1812 because of what hap pened three years ago, or, because of any platform declaration, we have tied our hands with a Gordian knot. If that is true then we have revised our historic position regarding subsidies and have become the boldest, most ar rogant and most uncompromising ad vocates of subsidy." Senator Stone also defended Presi dent Wilson, saying: "I am not much disturbed by the lurid flabbergast daily displayed in newspapers hostile to the president. The job they have undertaken of dis crediting the administration and tho Democratic party is so ferociously overdone that their structure of bil- linsgate and mendacity falls- of its own weight."
