' Astoria, Aug. 6. After three days
of grilling by officers, Olaf Anderson
Thursday evening: broke down and
confessed that he had murdered his
wife, Minnie Cecil Anderson, on Sun
day by throwing her Into the river.
Mrs Anderson's body was recovered
late Thursday afternoon. -
The! recovery of the body of his wife,
coupled with the fact, that be under
estimated the brightness of his 4-year-old
child, led to the confession. As An
derson entered, the cell last evening he
said to SierlffDle Nelson, "I guess-I'll
Dang tor this.", ...
The break came last evening at 10 :50.
Officers had been grilling Anderson for
About 40 minutes when the prisoner said :
"I am going to you the whole truth.
1 will stay in the penitentiary all my
life, but I want to tell It all. 1
quarrelled with my; wife and then
pushed her into the river, I can't lie
against my son." It was the story of
the boy that brought the confession.
After Anderson had reported the fatal
ity to Coroner Hughes, the boy . was tak

en to the scene of the murder and when
and Coroner Hughes said that his father
had tied a boat to a stick and then
pushed his mother in the river. He
pointed out the stake where his father
had tied the boat and later told the offi
cers that -'Mamma had screamed."
' Trouble over the children had caused
the argument in the boat, said Ander
son, .who added that he became so ex
cited that he threw his arms around his
wife and dropped her off the boat. He
said that : his wife screamed ' once and
then the waves closed above her head.

a boat. . Shortly before dusk Buchner
landed on the island.
The hfficers put him back in the boat
and started down stream.. As soon as
they, reached a series of rsnids in the
river Buchner told them to row toward
a high bank. After rowing through logs
which! had fallen in the river and brush
hanging close to the water's levl, a
tunnel In the bank could be plainly seen.
in the tunnel, a room about 12 by 12
feet, dug right Into the side Of the bank.
a complete still was found. The kettle
was still hot. Underneath the still
Flanders found a furnace. Examination
showed that the pipe from the furnace
reached only to the ground level above.
PLACE INACCESSIBLE : "
-Agcess to this moonshine plant could
nobe. made by hind, Buchner told the
revenue agents,, as he had tied a string
to many piece of hazel fcrush alone- the
only' small path leading to the tunnel.
The only way to find this path la to
crawl for some distance on the ground
on hands and knees, Flanders explained.
as soon as'a twig was moved along the.
path the string would ring a cowbell In
the tunnel. The first tap of this bell is
sufficient warning to give the operator
or ine - stin . a chance to escape. - The
string is attached to so many twigs that
it is impossible to get to the tunnel with
out giving the alarm, Flanders said.
Flanders also said that all of Salem's
"grief during the Elks' convention
came from this still. ---- -- ;. i ;
As ' a ruse. Buchner is said to : have
planted ' six acres on the island! to po
tatoes, that he might, have some work
to do should he be surprised. Horses
grazing on the island destroyed many
of the footprints- and made it more
difficult, for the officers to follow 'the
trails. :f

existing in ranks of the Republican
party, t We find Taft standing solidly
back bf the League of Nations and
Harding against the league. It is a sit
uation that can't be explained. Each is
as 'good a Republican as the other.
" '.To my mind, a very good example Is
that of a man who sees two apples sit
ting , on a table. " Both apples are
specked. : It is, therefore, up to the man
to choose which he believes will be the

that it was tfor the president to deter
mine all International questions.
PKOUD OF HIS RECORD
"When I go -out of office, I hope to
have It; said that President , Wilson had a
Vice , president that, never caused him
trouble," . Marshall said, and he ex
pressed pride in his past record.
Although the league was an interna

the senate said that he wasn't afraid to
express his opinion on that topic. He Is'
ror it, always has been for it and is not
afraid of It. ":" " ".''" ')
j Marshall expressed amazement that
political topics should be considered the
most important question In the public
minds of Oregonlans. He said the cam

traveling and visiting in California he
had heard little of politics. He did dis
cover, however, that the Japanese ques

conversation of the day. -
On the Japanese question -Marshall
was willing to be quoted to a 'certain
extent, i He said : :
I think that England, France, Italy.
Japan and every other v nation have an
inalienable right to say . who shall be
citizens of their country, ? and I think
that every state in . the United States
has a clear right to say who can and
wno cannot own real ; estate m that
state." .
PRAISES CHAMBERLAIN'S WORK
High : tribute to the efficiency of Sen
ator George Chamberlain of Oregon
was "paid by the vice president,': who
declared . that there was not a man in
Washington ; who commanded a higher
respect; from members of both parties
than Senator Chamberlain.
"If everybody in Washington worked
as hard:, as George Chamberlain did
during j his term In congress,' things
would be a whole lot different there.
Oregon: is to be congratulated upon
having I such an efficient representative..
"True, 1 regret the trouble he had
with the- president, .'but I .wish it to
be made clear; that I am firmly con
vinced that there is not & man at the
national capital who baa . the confidei.ee
of members of both parties more than
your senator; .
i "Indeed, Oregon has two fine sen
ators., "il have seen much of Senator
McNary during his last term, and, al
though Tie ii a republican' and ! does
not agree with my politics, I cart rec
ognize a . man that has merit in - his
position." ;" ' "-'-'-; ' -t ;-v :
