patients. Slie confessed that she wu
Jealous of him and she wanted to find
out whether or' not her suspicions
were correct.
Motive is Claimed.
The state expects, by dictagraph

cause to be J'ulous Of her husband.
Thia, the dltrii-t attorney expects,
will Ripply a motive for the murder.
Mm. Bailey was slain at-night. Dr.
Carman's office Is In his home, and
Mrn. Bailey had called on him. The
fatal shot was fired through a win

Dr. Carman was in -the office at the

fact that its contents were fully d..:-

been declaring for the assembly again.
He did it at Klamath Falls and at
As bland.
It seems that on his recent two
weeks trip through the southern Ore
gon counties Dr. Withycombe broke
away temporarily from his managers,
violating specific Instructions to speak
on nothing but a Greater Oregon,"
and the result is fireworks and cuss
words among the met. wtio are run
ning the doctor and his campaign.
The trouble began with the arrival
of newspapers from the southern
counties with reports of the doctor's'
speeches, of which four or five were
made. They brought the Information
that Dr. Withycombe had returned to
the discussion of the . assembly and
his predilections in favor of it. and
.that he also renewed that part of his
Oregon City speech, which declared
that a mistake bad been made in driv
ing the Chinese out, and that he "be
lieved what he had said about its be
ing a mistake that Oregon people had
listened to San Francisco agitators and
driven the Chinese from their work in
clearing the land in Clackamas coun
ty." Assembly Plan Favored,
As reported by a Medford paper. Dr.
Withycombe said at Ashland: "I am
feeing falsely charged with being op
posed to the primary system because
I had the temerity to say that I was
"in favor of a convention to help party
organization."
This straight-out declaration for as
sembly ism was preceded by a stronger
declaration of the kind at Klamath
Falls, where, according to the North
western, Dr. Withycombe said:
"It has been charged that I am op
posed to the direct primary. I am not
opposed to the direct primary, but I
do believe it should te supplemented
by something whereby political parties
should not be destroyed. Political
parties have' built up this great coun
try. I. believe in the direct primary
in a modified form."
Kaxping on Assembly Surprises.
Many people marvel at Dr.- Withy
combe's insistence on assemblyism in
the very heat of the campaign. Those
On the inside are less surprised, be
cause they know that S; B. Huston,
the well known corporation lawyer, is
one of Dr. Withycombe'a. chief advis
ers. It was Mr. Huston who insisted
that the assembly is necessary to
make the direct primary "workable'
on the ground that the people. In order
to select proper candidates; have to be

Mr. Huston at a political banquet In
Portland Friday night acted as the
personal representative of Dr. Withy

,WAR SUMMARY
BY J. W, T. MASON
Former Ijondon Correspondent
for the United Press.
New York, Oct 19. Intimations
from Berlin and Paris that the fight
ing In the extreme north of France
and northwestern Belgium . was ap
proaching a crisis reflected a very
tense situation today in this battle
area. The rival forces' lines are 6o
extended that a serious setback to
either side would require a readjust
ment all along the western fighting
front as far to the southward as the
opposing army centers.
In the event of a defeat of the al
lies, the Frenc coast ports would lm
mediately be endangpred and a wide
German sweeping movement, threat
ening the allies' rear, would become
possible. To counteract this, the al
lies would have to give ground for a
(Considerable distance in order to
swing toward the Knglish channel and
oppose their enemy's advance to the
southward.
Kaiser Heeds Dunkirk.
The -fortified position of Dunkirk j
would be an admirable channel base
for such an advance, but while it re-'
mains In the allies' possession an at
tempt by the kaiser to push south
ward would be dangerous unless he
should, as at Maubeuge, simply invest
the city and proceed with his other
operations while the siege progressed.
That sufficient troops can be spared
for this is improbable, however.
Germa offensive .strategy along the
Belgian .frontier, accordingly, most
await- the occupation of -Dunkirk. - if
'' PorsheWriJall,;ijs capitulation
.will constitute an important German
success. The kaiser's, confidence that
this will happen, after his capture of
the far stronger camp of Antwerp, is
probably behind the . expressed Ger
man belief that a crisis is near, .'
Between the Germans apd Dunkirk
there ls a far larger force of the al
lies than there was of Belgians and
British in Antwerp, and this undoubt
edly explains the confidence evidently
fflt in Paris.
Allies' Xilne Xs Vortn and South.
The Germans, too, have been checked
since they occupied Ostend. which sug
gests tne arrival at the front of more
allied reinforcements than the Ger
mans have been able to bring up.
Apparently oeneral von Boehm has
not risked weakening his main de
fensive line by reinforcing his troops
who were sent toward Dunkirk. These
troops were compelled to retire be
yond Armentieres. where the allies
were resting today.
The allies front In northern France
now extends almost due north and
south, which means they have suc
ceeded in straightening the bend made
by the Germans when they reached the
region of Arras. The German pres
sure, which turned the allies toward
the channel, with Arras as a pivot
seems to have decreased. The allies
are trying now to bend their line in
the other direction, toward the German
line of communications. If they sue
ceed, the kaiser must relinquish much
French territory he now occupies.
