Occasions.
' We'stbury, U l.t Jan. II. (I. N, 6.)-r
livery precaution is being taken today to
. prevent Mrs. Jacques LeBaudy, who on
Saturday nlgrht shot and killed her hus
band, eccentric millionaire and" self
, styled "emperor of Sahara,' at their
t beautiful home at Wcstbury, from com-
mitttng'sulcidc.
Minnie Weidner, the nurse, is con-
- stantly in the room with the woman. AH
night long Mrs. LeBaudy lay moaning
and screaming. Most ot her words were
Unintelligible. All that the listeners
j could make out from the woman's inco
herent cries were the words:
"Oh, Clod ! Oh. God ! Forgive me !'
Outside of the door where the woman
lay moaning and seemingly indifferent
to the fate the law may have In store
- for her, was a guard Detective Barbuti,
of District Attorney Weeks' staff. Two
other detectives Thorne and O'Connor--were
on guaTd downstairs in the spa
clous home. ?
Owing to the woman's condition it
has been Impossible to remove her from
her home to the jaiL A physician Is al
most constantly in attendance.
Self-defense Plea Expected
While -no statement has been made as
to what the woman's defense will be, it
is believed that nhe will plead self-defense
; that she killed her husband in
order to prevent him from doing bodily
harm to herself and their 15-year-old
daughter, Jacqueline.
The grand Jury this morning took up
its investigation of the killing. It is ex
pected that an indictment wilV be re
turned during the day charging Mrs, Le-

Including the nurse there will be onlv
lour oiner witnesses examined Frances,
the cook Jules Lascombe, the gar
dener; Jacqueline, the daughter, and
Harry tlFeensteln. the chauffeur of
Jlineork, who drove the taxicab in which
LeBaudy went to his home on Satur
day night to meet his death. He is ex
pected to testify as to the queer actions
ot LeBaudy while in the taxicab.
Lascombe is expected to testify to
the eccentricities of LeBaudy and of
"scenes" between the "emperor" and his
wife.
Coartroom ot Da Saalles Case
The nurse who was upstairs with Mrs.
LeBaudy just before the shooting is
expected to testify regarding the hap
penings just prior to the slaying of
LeBaudy.
Frances, the cook, was in the kitchen
when LeBaudy burst through the door
Saturday night, acting strangely and
carrying a can of kerosene in his hand.
Her testimony will likely dwell on Le
Baudy'a strange actions just' before he
was shot.
The daughter's testimony will, in all
likelihood, detail the various quarrels
between her mother and father.
- There was no eyewitness to the shoot
ing. The -grand Jury will meet in the
same room where Mrs. Bianca De
Uaulles and Mrs. Florence Carman,
central figures in two other Long
Island murders, were Indicted. Both
women were acquitted.
Mrs. LeBaudy, if she has sufficient
ly . recovered, will be taken to court
on Wednesday and arraigned for the
crime.
Mystery Is Sprang
An element of mystery has entered
into the case. In the statement of Ed
ward F. Murdock, personal attorney
for : LeBaudy. who said that at Le
. Baudy's trial in October, 1913, after
his arrest on a charge of assault, the
slain man had 'testified that Mrs. Le
Baudy was not his wife nor Jacqueline
his "daughter.

Favors Commandeering Shipping
in Order to Return Yanks to
U. S. at Once.
Paris, Jan. 13. If President Wilson
has his way, all of America's fight
ing men now in Europe will be back in
the United States within the next eight
months.
It became known Sunday that the pres
ident's conference with General Pershing
Saturday dealt exclusively with the sub
ject of American demobilization.
The president Is known to be deeply
interested in the speediest possible re
turn of the American troops. He realizes
their- home coming affects every fireside
in the United States, and he is, there
fore, anxious to cut the red tape and
allow the men to go back to civil life
without any delay not absolutely im
perative.
Mr. Wilson, it is understood. Ques
tioned General Pershing particularly
with regard to the German merchant
marine available for the transportation
of our soldiers. It is believed com
mandeerlng by America of such ships as
the Bismarck, Hindenburg and other
giant German liners, together with other
vessels in German ports, will do much
to expedite the situation.
To finish the Job within the next eight
months is not impossible. It is Im
possible for anyone in France and this
Includes the president not to know the
deep ' longing in the heart of every
American soldier to get back to his
home folks.
This Is the prime reason for the presi
dent's summoning General Pershing, and
he will continue, despite his other press
ing duties in connection with the peace
conference, to do all he can for the
soldiers.
Mr. Wilson believes the difficulties of
transportation, now apparent, can be
overcome. He thinks jthe bridge of ships
which carried America's men across the
Atlantic to the battle ground should be
just as able to return them to their
homes.
To that end he will work with the
utmost energy.
SPARTACAN LOSSES

killed in street fighting Thursday.
Government troops have recaptured
the Spandau arsenal, courtmartialing
and shooting the Spartacan commander.
according to other Berlin reports. They
also cleared the Spartacans from the
Tiergarten. The Hallenre railway sta
tion is now in government hands.
The Vorwaerts building, which was
shattered by government artillery, was
stormed and captured by government
troops Saturday. They found 125 dead
in the building. George Ledebour, leader
of the independent Socialists, and 300
others, were reported to have been ar
rested in this encounter.
Abdut 300 Spartacans were reported
killed and 700 wounded In the latest
fighting.
A Socialist republic was said to have
been proclaimed in Bremen Jn Stutt
gart Spartacans occupied the town hall
after several hours street righting.
Fighting was reported in Hagen be
tween minority Socialists and citizens
who had volunteered to fight for the
government.
Ebert Firm Again tleds
. , By John Grandenz
Berlin, Jan. 11. (Delayed.) (TJ. P.)
The government announced its intention
today (Saturday) to' surround the city
and utterly annihilate the Spartacans
with artillery unless they surrender im
mediately. During this operation all
water, gas and electricity would be cut
off.
The announcement followed another
attempt of the Spartacans to open ne
gotiations. Chancellor Ebert, however,
insisted on practically an unconditional
surrender, declaring all demands of the
government must be met unreeervedly.
Independent Socialists urged the gov
ernment to consider Spartacan offers of
compromise, saying they would throw
their support to the government if Ebert
agreed to postponement" of the national
elections for three months.
Resolutions were passed at a great
mass meeting of workmen and Social
ists, urging the government to stop the
bloodshed. At the same time delegations
of other citizens called upon Ebert and
urged him to accept no compromise and
t- "kill Bolshevism forever." Groups of
citizens atacked Spartacan prisoners to
day and, despite the efforts of govern
ment troops to prevent them, battered
some of the Insurgents until they were
unrecognizable.
Women Among Prisoners
Fighting was still going on in some
parts of the city today (Saturday). De
spite their efforts to effect a truce, the
Spartacans were fortifying the strategic
points remaining in their possession,
bringing up carloads of arms, munitions
and reinforcements and requisitioning
food from private families. .Forty thou
sand additional Spartacans were ru
mored to be entering Berlin from all
parts of Germany.
Government forces compelled Sparta
can defenders of the Vorwaerts build
ing to surrender today after 15 minutes
shell fire. Among the 300 prisoners, it is
said, some were women. There also were
some Russians.
The rooms and yards were filled with
ammunition.
Troops Start Fighting
Chancellor Ebert, Philip Scheidemann
and Gustave Noske addressed a large
body of troops assembled in front of the
reichstag building today (Saturday).
The soldiers cheered and started away,
accompanied by two batteries of artil
lery. Half an hour later shooting was
heard in several parts of the city. At the
hour of cabling the results of these en
counters could not be ascertained.
An armistice was effected in news
paper districts later in the day to enable
business with offices in that section to
arrange certain matters. As a result,
thousands of morbidly curious citizens
gathered there, but were dispersed by
government troops.

Fourth1 Loan Drive Puts
Every County Over Top
Lincoln County Leads With Oversubscription of" Its Quota
Times,' Oregon Gave $38,362,550 Toward
Cause of Victory in War.
That every county in the state went over Its subscription allotment In the
Fourth Liberty loan drive, as well as every city with a population of over 10,000,
although no special effort was made to obtain an over-subscription. Is shown In
a final summary of the results of this drive In the state, issued by- Robert Smith,
chairman. of the drive, and complied by Dan C. Freeman, publicity manager for
the state.
Leading the list in oversubscriptions is Lincoln county, which went nearly six
and a half times over Its quota. This little- county on the coast has made for
herself one of the best records of any community in the United States, as slightly
over 99 of every 100 of her population, on an average, subscribed to the loan
personally. It remains to be heard whether any other county or community nn
the country can surpass this wonderful record.! Astoria also shows a large over
subscription, but this city has grown to a .greater extent since "the 1910 census. .
The report as verified at state headquarters, shows that Oregon contributed
$38,362,550 to help achieve victory: her quota had been set at 333.708.100. 1 The
number of subscriptions in the state was 213,854. and of this total Portland
subscribers totaled 90.125. The state headquarters will shortly send out a report
covering the towns under 10,000 population, as well as the smaller communities.

Of the several hundred prisoners
taken early today by loyal troops many
were allowed to go home after being dis

Herr Preuser, leader of the Spartacans
defending the Spanau suburbs, was exe

It is reported that mobs from various
parts of Germany, but chiefly the West
phalian districts, had started to move to
wards Berlin on Friday hoping that a
Spartacan victory would give them a
chance to loot the city.
At Hanover Spartacans threatened the'
railway workers unless a special train
was made up to carry them towards this
city.
Three women and two men were killed
and 16 wounded in a clash between Spar

Spartacans Say Time Not. Ripe
Washington, Jan. 13. (L N. 8.)
Leaders of the Spartacans in Berlin
have sent a telegram to Moscow saying
that "fighting must be stopped as soon
as possible, because the Berlin working
classes are not yet ripe for the dictator
ship of the proletariat," according to
German press reports reaching the state
department this afternoon.
Although the advices do not say to
whom the Spartacan telegram was ad
dressed,' this information is considered
as virtual proof that the Berlin "reds"
are being directed In the counter-revo
lution by the Bolshevik rulers at Mos

JUDGE ROSSMAN HAS
GAVEL MADE OUT OF
PIECE OF SHIP RAIL
Capt. Clarence Hotchkiss Sends
Piece of S. S. Otrontoj Given
Him by Survivor.
Municipal Judge Kossman now wields
on the bench a unique gavel which he
Just received from Captain Clarence
Hotchkiss. who is with the American
armv In France. Following Is the let
ter to Judge Rossman. which also con
tains the legend of the gavel :
"In remembrance of our long frlend-
shlD and of your many kindnesses to me
since I entered the service, I have sent
vou a little holiday gift In the shape of
,a gavel, which you can wieia in your
official capacity.
"I trust it will be the means of as-
Istinar you to the same position In
higher court. I trust that you will have
a long life and health for many years,
which will enable you to use the same
eavel successfully as circuit Judge and
then as Justice of the Oregon supreme
court.
"The wood in this gavel is solid ma
hogany from a railing on the steam
ship Otronto, rammed and sunk In the
Kngllsh channel several .months ago.
As the vessel was sinking an officer
aboard tore the railing away and took
it into the water with him to keep him
afloat. He reached the shore and still
having the railing In his possession, he
cut off a piece for a souvenir. He passed
through this camp and as I was very
much interested. In it, he gave me a
piece. I took it to the only wood-turn
ing shop in Winchester (England) and
the old crippled proprietor told me it
would be Impossible to make the gavel
for me, but Just as I was going out of
.the door, one of his eight sons In the
service, who was home on leave for a
few days, offered to turn out the gavel."
Judge Rossman prizes the gift highly
and Is showing It among his lawyer
friends about the city,.
