' (United PreH I,sl W!r.) Kan Fraiclsco, Oet. 21. Unbounded foJth in hr hiiKh.-iriri'fl Innnncnf Ap- sptte his alleged confession, was voiced here today by Mrs. Thelma Tugwell, the navcn weeks' brld of Perry Tuk well, under arreat In Los Angeles on a charge of murdering Mrs. p. B. A. Kennedy on thn night of September 1. Mrs. Ttiftwell Kbpt late today, follow ing; a musicale given last night at her Step-father's home here;. "Why should 1 worry?" ptie asked. "I know my husband Is Innocent, and I firmly believe. h will bo exonerated In a week or two three weeks at the most. "On the evening that Mrs. Kennedy died, my husband left Ms father's home In ixb Angeles shortly after din ner, explaining he was going to a irarage to say good bye to the boys there, as he Intended to get married September 4. Tho next day we were to leave for San Francisco on the ateasnship Rose City. Ajid we carried cut this program to the letter. "My husband returned .home shortly after 9 o'clock. He Was in high good humor, because the men at the garage would not believe that he was going to be married. Hut we fooled 'em. Percy Was not perturbed. If he had killed Mrs. Kennely he certainly would have ihown In his demeanor that he had been through some excitement. Both his father and mother were at home when he returned from the garage. The men at the garage, too, will verify this statement. It's very certain to me that Percy could not have taken the long ride to Mrs. Kennedy's home, murdered her and returned within the short time that he was away. His confession, if he made one. Is ridiculous. But the most ridiculous story is the one that my husband financed our honeymoon. It was said that he paid for the trip with proceeds from the Jewelry stolen from the murdered woman. "As a matter of fact, my husband was broke.' I financed the trip with 150, my savings from my own work. Percy had nothing. Since coming up bere with my husband we have, lived with my step-father and mother, while Percy looked vainly for a Job." laborers sending in reports have at tended eornmon schools, the average tiiwe tip to 19 years of age.

The steady increase In bills at each session of the state legislature is shown by figures prepared by Secre tary of state Olcott In answer to a letter from the Joint special commit tee on legislative procedure of Massa chusetts.

He Voted for Pudd'nhead Colonel Harvey Tells a XTsw Mark Twain Story at Recent Pa ace Meet ing With the President. Washington, Oct. 21. There are those who would have given a pretty sum to have been within hearing dis tance while Colonel. George Harvey, the brilliant editor of the North Amer ican Review, and President Wilson were renewing old fellowships and burying the hatchet on "Peace" Sun day. It will be recalled that there was a "falling out" between the presi dent and Colonel Harvey shortly after the Baltimore convention and the twa "didn't speak as they passed by." Mu tual friends, however, got busy and on Peace Sunday the hatchet-burying scene was pulled off at the White House. While official etiquette forbids the divulgence of presidential conversa tions, a little bird is responsible for this recital of what happened. Mark Twain's name came up in some connection when Colonel Harvey re marked casually that there were per sons still in existence who never had heard- of the great humorist. The president found this almost in credible, "Oh, yes," the colonel continued. "only yesterday here in Washington I met such an one. He was an of fice seeker. He declared positively that he never had heard of Mark Twain. "I asked him about Tom Sawyer. No, he never had heard of him, either. Nor Huck Finn? No, never. Nor Pudd'nhead Wilson? 'Oh, Lord, yes, he ejaculated. 'I voted for him.' And the president's roar of delight did not diminish in the least when the colonel continued softly, " 'and,' he added, wistfully, 'that's all the good it done me.'

After a des perate fight, employes of the Union Oil company succeeded in controlling i fire which for hours threatened com plete destruction of the corporation's J5.000.000 plant. Statement Shows That There Most Ba Considerable Evidence of Anti British Feeling in Russia. slder the time ripe yet for talking i about it Sazonoff was himself authority for the statement that Russian critics of the British were accusing; the latter of getting other countries to do their fighting, and prophesying; an ' early break between the czar and King George. He denied, however, that this view was responsible for the great mass of Russian public opinion, at tributing it instead to a small group of reactionaries. Pendleton Rates Lower. Pendleton, Or., Oct. 21.

That Foreign Minister Sazonoff of Russia should consider it necessary to come out in a formal statement repudiating the sentiments of those of the czar's sub jects who sympathize with Germany rather than with Great Brtiain in the present war, was commented on here today as suggesting that there must be considerable of this sort of feel ing among the Slavs. The best informed among- the Swedes, who, by the way, are friendly to the British and very fearful of the Russians, have generally thought. all along, that the war must end up with ill feeling, if nothing worse, be tween the two nations, in the event of victory by the allies. Their view is that it is the British policy to oppose, in every possible way, any European continental power which becomes strong enough to be a potential source of danger. If the allies win, it is argued that Russia will become immediately an even greater menace to the predominance of British prestige than Germany has ever been. The prediction is conse quently made that the British will do all they can to prevent the czar from profiting by victory, the czar is deemed certain to resent this, and an Anglo-Russian rupture is looked for as the sequel. The suggestion is made that Foreign Minister Sazonoff is as well aware of this as anyone, but does not con- "NORMAN" The NEWEST AR.R.OW COLLAR 2 for 25 eeats Cleett. PaahoaV A Co..

It will add but a feather's weight to the burden of your taxes. ONE FORTIETH OF A MILL or two and one-half cents annually on every thousand dollars assessed valuation, as provided in the millage tax bill referred to the people by the Legislative Assembly, will restore to the state's use the Eastern Oregon Normal's plant at Weston, consisting of one main build ing, two dormitories, a president's cottage, and 10 acres of ground. , Eastern Oregon needs this school. Oregon needs it, and also needs the Southern Oregon Normal at Ashland. Three normal schools are none too many for this great commonwealth. Reflect that if you, pay taxes on $2000, the permanent and adequate maintenance of the Eastern Oregon Normal will cost you but five cents each year. f (Paid advertisement, authorized by F. D.

Mr. Hanley, as the Progres sive nominee,, will support the plank of the Progressive partr on the tariff question, which de clares for a non-partisan and permanent tariff commission (like the Interstate Commerce Commission), which will take the whole tariff question out of the log-rolling of congress, set tle tariff issues permanently without disturbing business con ditions throughout the entire United States, and free congress from the influence of the cor rupt and vicious lobbies of the trusts.
