to accept the contract in no way affects

R. H. Hunt, in charge of the federal

belief that the delay In getting the con
tracts forwarded waa Instrumental in the
decision . of the board, which notified
him of the cancellation 'f the agreements.-

IS CALLED FRAMEUP
(Ooatumed From Put OM)
murder, said in the city. Jail when Smith
was brought before ' him for Identifica
tion, "I'll never forget those eyes."
-Smith could not : place himself in the
proper place in the dance hall and could
not repeat the conversation hePfeetween
the guests and the i robber, says Mo
loney, whereas the ' position Ogle said
he occupied ana the conversation - Ogle
says he had with a ! woman and musi
cian who asked permission to change
their standing position, .tallies with the
statements made by the victims, ; ; v . i,v
The' police1 believe there is a frameup
behind the confession and .scent an ef
fort to 'gain a pardon ' for Smith. "Ogle
is no doubt trying to square , himself
now with the other two men for having
been the first one to confess," 'one of
the officers said. ; . r -
Portland police believe Pendleton clti
sens should j rise to arms r and demand
that an investigation be conducted to
ascertain ; the reason for Ogle's state
ments. " ' j
-At the time of the arrest David Smith
refused to tell police anything about his
parents or- home life.; He mentioned
he was an ex-service man, but refused
to tell in what connection. From the
manner in which he acted Captain Circle
believes Smith ' to be the member of a
polished Southern family.- , v
- In one part of Ogle's latest confession
he mentions a stickpin identified, by a
woman, which he says he wore himself.
Captain Circle still has . this stickpin
locked up in his property room? . "There
is not another stickpin like it on the Pa
cific coast," he said-v "We. positively
proved at the time that Smith wore that
pin and was the man who helped search
the guests In the dance hall after the
killing. This again places Ogle at the
door and makes him the man 'who held
the crowd at bay." Ogle claims that he
had a pin .something like 'Smith's and
that he threw it away after they, left
the tavern. ?-- . - a "; .,-; i

convention as a guest of "a big Missouri
delegation, on a special train. k v
Pershing is a native of -Missouri and
the men behind this "movement claim
that he is eligible for nomination as a
Democrat, although he has no' definite
party alignment. ,w; - - . . .
-The oltra party has arranged to in
vite prominent native sons of Missouri,
and itjis stated that- among these Sec
retary of State, Colby has already ac
cepted.. ''". f"' ; :.': - -' i-:
' Augustus Thomas, playwright and or
ator, also a Missourlan, is booked, it is
said, to present Pershing's name to the
San Francisco convention. - -
There appeared little doubt that the
announcement, here today -was timed . de
liberately, with reference'' to the situa
tion iin the Republican convention at
Chicago. . It is known that General Per
shing, during the last week, has -.been
in conference with some of the leading
factors in the Democratic' party,, al-n
though there is no .suggestion that . he
is actively approving- the . movement
launched in his behalf.- - s

convention.. - ta.V.1 j-'------
Mr Gibson is 'one of "'the publicity

Mitchell Palmer for the Dem

enthusiastic in her advocacy of the cause
of her chief to whom she refers as the
"fighting Quaker" and contends vthat he
Is and will be the high man at San Fran
cisco when the ballots are counted. Only
one major obstacle now confronts Attor
ney General Palmer. Mrs. Gibson argues,
and that is the possible nomination of
Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania by the
Republican convention. It would not be
politically feasible ; to have both 'of .the
nominees from the same state.; rl -
Mrs. Gibson tells one interesting fact
not generally known; and : that -is that
Palmer J and Governor Sproul were room
mates at college, members of the same
fraternity, and have been and are warm
