up to the time he went to Salem two
years ago, at Sixth and Washington.
He was In business for himself at
Salem. f
Friends say that Paterson never
seemed like his old self after the death
of his little boy about five years ago,
and that he was under quite a heavy
burden on account of his wife's illness.
They say also that Paterson suffered a
fall about three years ago which hurt
his head, but that he had never shown
any tendency to- Insanity, to which they
ascribe his act.
Mrs. Paterson was a sister of Mrs.
Arnold S. Rothwell. Mr. RothweU went
to Salem this morning, as did Julius
Louisson, manager of the Gunst com

Speakership of House.
Roy W. Rltner of Pendleton, a mem
ber of the house delegation in 1915,
and nominated for reelection, is out to
frame the house for the election of R.
N. Stanfield as speaker.
Mr. Rltner has written letters to
Republican nominees throughout east
ern Oregon congratulating them upon
their nomination and apprising them
of the fact that he was a member of
the house In 1916, that he was nomi
nated at the recent primary election
and that he expects to be a member of
the next legislature.
Following this Introduction, Mr. Rlt
ner says he Is Interested in the candi
dacy of R. N. Stanfield, who was a
member of the last two sessions. He
points out that it has been a long time
since eastern Oregon had the speaker

Taking refuge in the abandoned
cabin, the murderer threw off nil his
clothing except trousers and under
shirt, and with two pistols, gave battle
to 10 policemen and six mounted offi
cers, who surrounded the hut. Tele
phone calls for reserves quickly
brought additional squads of officers,
blazing away at the shack from tvery
side.
The fugitive was first hit in the
wrist. He bound up the wound with a
strip of shirt and went on shooting.
Then two bullets struck his abdomen,
but he continued his defense.

Meanwhile the mud flats were black
with spectators, and a squad of police
was detailed to keep them out of
danger.
At 9:45 the officers sent a small
boat, loaded with armed men, along
Islals creek to open fire on the shack
from a new angle. At 19 o'clock nearly
5000 people had gathered to witness
the battle, and the greatest difficulty
had been experienced in keeping the
throngs back. Nearly 100 policemen
were then about the cabin, firing into
It.
A little while after 10 o'clock the
shots from the shelter ceased, but the
Washington. May 26. (I. N. S.)
A lengthy defense of plans for the
establishment of a court to decide
"justiciable questions" was voiced
here today by former President Wil
liam Howard Taft, presiding at the
first annual meeting of the league to
enforce peace. Hia remarks were re
plete with legal citations and prece
dents and were intended to overcome
all constitutional objections.
The purpose of the league Is the
establishment of a permanent world-
i wide international court and to con
vince the great governments that they
can only guard a. alnst a series of
world military conflicts by standing
by this court and enforclns its de
cisions on rebellious nations.
United States Zs Sovereign Hatlon.
Replying to claims that it would be
impossible to decide what questions
were "justifiable," and also that the
senate and the president have not the
authority to constitutionally enter Into
an agreement, Professor Taft said:
. "The court must decide this upon its
merits.
"The United States, from a foreign
standpoint, is a sovereign nation. It
has no limitations. It may, the-efore.
through its treaty making powers, con
sent to agreements with other rowers
relating to subjects and matters .. dual
ly considered and made the subject of
Senate Zs on Secord for Plan.
Professor Taft followed rM ln k
citing precedents authorizing the presl-
uciifc nu senate to enter n n trafla
and also "that the senate already Is
on record as favoring an International
prize court."
Former Secretary of State Bryan re
cently at Lake Mohonk declared that
such treaties were in violation of the
constitution and also took away the
constitutional ngnt to declare war
"I venture to think," said Professor
xart m reply, "that this view Is en
tireiy without foundation. Although
unnecessary, I am willing to accent the
assumption that some kind of a coun
cil snouia De appointed by the nowera
to make announcements when the time
comes 10 use economic and military
xorces against recalcitrant members.
It does not affect the power of con
gress to declare war."

Mrs. Patterson's mother did not
know of the shooting, although she
slept in the same house.
It is not known what caused the
tragedy. Patterson was attending to
business as usual Thursday and was
down town last evening. His friends
think he was probably temporarily in
sane.
Patterson served in the Spanish war
in the Philippines. Before going to
Portland, he was a resident of San
Francisco.
Patterson shot his wife twice, one

' other her breast. The daughter was
