old son of William Duf field, a car
penter residing at Fifty-ninth street

charged with contributing to the de
linquency of the girl in a complaint
filed yesterday by Deputy District At
torney John A. Collier. Wolf and his
wife are- being- held as witnesses, as
both knew of the death of the infant.
Written Oomfessiom Secured,

confessions from Mrs. Fowls and Har
riett. - which were but repetitions of
tDts confessions ' made to him Friday
morning, Mrs. Fowls, in her state
ment,, admitted placing a cloth sat
urated With camphor over the baby's
face May 17. the day after its birth,
and burying the baby's body under a
raspberry bush In the lot adjoining
their home. - - , '.. ,
Mrs. , Fowle "and Harriett will be

Deputy Collier has tried in each in
terview with Harriett to learn from
whom she gathered the Information
that Camphor could be used In place
of chloroform In ending the baby's
"life, .'bat she will not or cannot tell.
Mrs. Fowle and Harriett both main
tain, even composure when talking of
the baby's death. Fowls has shown
more feeling than any other member
of the family.
Collier has not yet determined what
to" think about Wolfs attitude dur
ing the time .since the birth Of the
baby, but beUevee Wolf felt that it
was best not to mix in such a mess
as .the family had been Involved in,
and. While lie said nothing, kept out
of the affair entirely, though knowing
of the happenings.

concerns" , in this part of the state. It
is charged - that on Thursday, June - 3,
Dustin took three registered Shorthorn

The unexpected arrival 4 of William
and Charles Byram at the rendezvous
of the alleged rustlers in time to inter
fere with the work of marking tbe
stolen cattle, and frighten the rustlers
away before they . could conceal the
evidence- of their crime, gave the case
the flavor of a . real '. western movie

rams consulted Cy J. . Bingham, super
visor of the Malheur national ixoresi,
as it wa upon the national forest that
the alleged rustler were marking the
cattle. It was with Mr. Bingham' as
sistance and advice -that the necessary
evidence, was gathered. i -
It was intimated by the defense that

ll'S VICTORY IS
. DECLARED A MIGHTY
TRIBUTE TO ITS FRUIT
Display at Panama-Pacific
- Exposition Between Wash
ington, and California.
' . .
CONTRAST COMMENTED ON
AxtiaTtle Harare! Arraagemsat eupple-
ments Beauty of Xxhlblt, Say '
John r. IVogan.
Oregon' victory over the whole
fruit-producing section of, the United
States west of the Mississippi river
in Its display at the Panama-Pacific
International exposition was declared
by. John F. Logan, a member of the
Oregon commission, to. be a mighty
tribute not only to Oregon's fruit, but
to the setting in which it was placed
and the symbolical character of its
arrangement.. -- .
Mr. Logan said last night that the
exhibit, placed, in the general horti
cultural building beside that of Cal
ifornia on the one side and Washing
ton on the other, afforded a contrast
that was commented upon by . hun
dreds of visitors.
"Washington's exhibit cost about
$7000.; California's much more; Ida
ho's 13000 and Oregon's only $1600,"
said Mr, Logan. "Yet by artistic nat
ural arrangement supplementing the
fruit itself, Oregon took away pre
mier honors. Our exhibit was the only
one that was framed in natural wood
logs from our forests that - gave sug
gestions of resources other than fruit,
though it was setting off tbe fruit ex
hibit. It was the apples from Hood
River, the prunes from the Willamette
valley, the peaches from the Rogue
and the small fruits from all parts
of the Oregon rruit country mat too
the eye. Upon C; M. Ravlln of Hood
River falls much of the credit for this
display. ; ;
"One must understand that the hor
ticultural award Just noted covers the
exhibit as a whole. Individual dis
plays making up the exhibit will come
in for .Independent prises. It must
also be borne in mind that this ex
hibit was distinct from the exhibits
in the Oregon state building, whicli
were not eligible .for prizes. There
fore, Oregon, out of its comparatively
small appropriation, had to maintain
two exhibits. And yet she won first
place.
"I note from dispatches that Oregon
has also been awarded a number of
cultural products. O. E. Freytag of
Oregon Uiiy was in cnarss i iiiis um-
slon, and had large part in arranging
the display."
Mr, Logan's exultation over the hor
ticultural victory - was enhanced be
cause of the participation of California
in the competition. Even Hawaii had
entered her fruit products. Colorado,
Idaho. Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri. Ar
kansaspractically all the states in
the western tier 200 miles wide had
entered their finest.
"The dectoton was by. no means
close," said Mr. Logan. "It was con
ceded on all sides that Oregon's: was
the best. At any rate, it was the only
-state. that undertook to carry out the
state idea in its decoration as well ss
in the exhibit itself."
Mr. Logan will leave July 3 for San
Francisco to take charge of the ex
hibits for next months
: Chautauqua at Forest Grove.
"Forest Grove, Or., June 12 The
first Chautauqua to be held in Wash
ington county will open for a six days'
session in this city next Tuesday. A
large tent will be erected on the col
lege campus, and provialoln will be
made for those who wish to camp
during the week.
