1W0 DEATHS HELD
AS
Two boys were killed Friday even
ing "within an hour in two automo
bile accidents, which Deputy Coro
ner Leo Goetsch classed Saturday
morning as "unavoidable." The
first victim was 3-year-old Harry
Strombaugh, 624 North Kellogg
street, who was run over about 4:45
p. m. at Jersey and Alta streets by
a truck in charge of John Riley,
302 North Willamette boulevard.
The second accident was 55 min
utes later at Union avenue and East
Burnside street, where Benjamin
Chamberlain, 19, 1406 Lenora
street, was instantly killed by a fur
niture truck In charge of Frank
Love, 389 Tenth street.
The baby, Harry, was rushed to the
office of Dr. L. E. Graves at Jersey and
Burlington streets, but nothing could
be done. Those who witnessed the acci
dent say the child ran out Into the street
and into the side of the truck. The car
did not strike the boy. Riley felt a jar
but did not know he had struck the child
until he heard the grandfather yell.
The child was with his grandfather,
Harry B. Hunter, with whom he lrves.
The little child's parents are Mr. and
Mrs. Tony Strombaugh.
According to police investigation, Riley
had violated the traffic ordinance by
failure to go around the center of the
intersection. Riley'sexcuse for this was
that there was an automobile parked so
close to the corner of the curb that he
had to swing short to miss it. He was
arrested early Friday morning by Mo
torcycle Patrolman Mobley for cutting
an intersection, but he was released by
Municipal Judge Rossman. Riley Is now
at liberty under $1000 bonds.

NEW CASE FILED
Caroline P. Leadbetter, daughter
of the late Henry L. Pittock, who
founded the Oregonlan and who died
leaving an estate of nearly $1,000,
000, fttedTaan amended complaint
Friday in her suit in equity against
O. L. Price, as executor of the las
will and testament of Pittock, and
Price and C. A. Morden as trustees,
Fred F. Pittock, Susan Emory. Kate
Lockwood, Hebarton and Louise
Gantenbein, the latter two grand
children of Pittock.
The complaint recites the contest on
the will and the appeal to the Oregon
state supreme court, and alleges that
Price, as executor, has transferred to
himself and Morden. as trustees, shares
of stock In the Oregonlan Publishing
company, and that they are threatening
to transfer and dispose of this stock
and thus deprive the heirs of their right
ful property.
She reaffirms that the documents filed
with the court are not the last will and
testament of Pittock and are Illegal on
the ground that the alleged trusts set up
therein are Indefinite and uncertain In
their material terms, and that the agree
metjtj provided for are against public
policy as they would d'Prlve the right
ful heirs from definite control of the
property for a term of 20 years.
The prayer of this suit includes the
following demands :
That the document purporting to be
the Pittock will be declared null and
void ; that the appointment of O. L
Price aa executor be canceled ; that the
order entering the wil to probate be
cancelled ; that Henry L. Pittock be de
clared to have died intestate ; that all
property of the estate be adjudged to
go to the five children of Pittock, share
and share alike ; that transfers of shares
of stock to Price and Morden be de
clared void ; that both Price and Morden
be enjoined from attempting to assert
control of any property of the estate.

Governor Cox has gone West. Sen

more or less set in its pol- leal ways.
If, therefore, there is a chance for
an upset, an occiired in 1916, the
West would be likely to exhibit the
first symptoms. Also distances are
'great in the Western country and
the number of voters relatively
small, so the trend can be more
definitely assessed west of the Mis
sissippi river during September than
it can east of that line. For the
Eastern states are populous and
sometimes a drift sets in about the
middle of October that changes the
aspect of political things quite ma
terially. Besides. Governor Cox is just now in
vading the West and the writer has de

headway he makes in this Western coun

Marion. Ohio, Sept. 11. (U. P.)
Suggestion that America has been
duped by "shocking discrepancies"
in the French and English text of
articles in the Versailles treaty pur
porting to safeguard the Monroe
doctrine, was made today by Warren
G. Harding. These discrepancies
might readily involve us in conflict,
he 6ald. He demanded that those
advocating acceptance of the tearue
covenant bring forth an explanation.
This new angle on the treaty Issue
was sprung in a double barreled broad
side on the Wilson policies made by
Harding today, speaking to delegations,
mostly business men from Chicago,
Michigan and Indiana.
CALLS POLICY MKDDLIHG
The other half of Harding's speech
unsparingly lashed the "Ineffective med
dling" policy of the Democratic admin
istration toward business. Eight years
of Democratic administration have re
duced rather than increased efficiency,
and we have become "the Ineffective
prodigals of the world," he said. He
advocated rebuilding of our economic
life, "so that our prosperity shall not
be the prosperity of profiteers nor of
special privilege."
Harding quoted from the French text
of article 21 of the league covenant,
arguing that it is " complete reversal"
of the English text both of which are
official and bear the signatures of the
American plenipotentiaries.
This difference, h said, might "very
readily involve us in unhappy conflict. '
The English text says nothing in the
covenant shall be deemed to affect ?he
validity of understandings like the Mon
roe doctrine. The French text J3 Hard

BIG OVATION
Great Crowd Overflows Building
and Hangs in Windows to Hear
Vigorous Governor Speak on
League as Cure for All Wars.
By Ward A. Irvine
Journal Hlaff t'orrriporulcnt.
En Route With Cox Special, Sept.
11. Governor "Cox tshot holes In the
contentions of opponents of the
League of Nations before another
overflow crowd at Bellingham this
morning. Standing space was gone
before "the arrival of the special, '
and at the address spectators were
hanging through windows and tatt
ing advantage of every other posi
tion in which they might hear the
words of the vigorous governor, f
He laid before them facts "dispelling
the contention that America could be
drawn into foreign wars without her
consent and that Britain could outvote
this country In the league of Nations.
He showed that only congress can de
clare war for this country, and that no
action by the members of the league
could force American soldiers into war
without congress' consent.
"And the mothers of America will
have a word to say before congress will
ever again declare war," he emphasised
Governor Cox also Insisted that In the
council of the league, all measures must
be adopted by unanimous vote.
"America could therefore veto any
thing the other nations might attempt,
to do. And furthermore, how can na-?
Hons go to war If they are disarmed, aa
the league proposes to disarm them."
To the appeal to keep -faith with the
soldiers who fought and died, the audi
ence responded whole-heartedly. By their
applause the people of Belllugham left
little doubt as to their feeling on the
League of Nations question.
