Newly-Weds Found
Dead; Mystery Is
Tackled by Police
k - -
.., (By Tutted Nei)
Chicago, Dec 21 Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Wuitlemuier were married Saturday.
They moved their new furniture Into
a little apartment at 640 Kemper place
and the neighbors in the house were
much Interested in the attractive couple
of newly weds.
Interest turned to concern, when noth
ing more was heard from them no
sound at -all from the apartment that
housed a merry wedding party Saturday
night They told their fears to the po
lice. The police broke down the door Mon
day night and found the honeymooners
on the floor. Both were dead.
The table still bore the remains of
the wedding feast. Flowers were in a
vase on the table, still fresh. A fire
burned In the gas log.
On the table waa an empty ; wine bot
tle and two glasses.
Chemists are examining the few drops
of wine left in the bottle. They say
they are certain the mystery will be
solved when the analysis is completed.
FIRE ARMS SALE
Vancouver, Wash., Dec. 21. Pro
vision that no dealer or other per
son shall sell fire arms without a li
cense, issued upon application to the
city council, is included in an ordi
nance presented to the city council
Monday evening. This license will
be good : for a three-month period
and will cost $1,
An old ordinance, providing that no
person shall purchase firearms without
a permit issued by the chief of police
and signed by two reputable citizens, is
repealed by the proposed law. The new
ordinance also provides that every dealer
shall file a record of his firearm sales
with the chief of police before 10 o'clock
the following morning. No firearms may
be placed on exhibition in any window.
Sentiment on the ordinance is divided.
It will probably be passed upon at the
next meeting of the council.
I
BE
(Continued From Pace On)
by the house and an attempt is made
to jam it through the senate.
As written, the bill provides practi
cally prohibitory rates of tariff duty on
17 classes of agricultural and livestock
products. It will be effective for, 10
months from passage, by which time
it is expected that the incoming con
gress will have enacted the permanent
tariff revision policy pledged by the
Republicans, and that the emergency
the billis ostensibly framed to meet
will have passed.
WOOL AND COTTON GOODS
Only two classes of manufactured ar
ticles are included in the bilL One class
consists of cotton goods embodying long
staple cotton.upon which a high tariff
is imposed. The other includes wool
and hair advanced beyond the scoured
stage, and wool manufactures in which
wool and hair are the major compon
ents. In the latter class the tariff is 45
cents a pound in addition to existing
rates of duty.
Representative Henry W. Watson of
Pennsylvania, Republican member ot
the ways and means committee, is loud
in his condemnation of the bill on the
ground that it takes care of the agricul
tural sections of the country and not
of the nation's industries, and declares
it will result in increasing the cost of
living. But both Republican and Dem
ocratic representatives from the West
ern alid' Southern states have decided,
to stand behind the bill, as well aa one
designed to advance loans to farmers
from the $100,000,000 profits of the fed
eral reserve banks.
BAIXET ATTACKS BILL
In addition, the proposition is ad
vanced, in a bill by Representative
Stevenson of North Carolina, that the
$700,000,000 worth of German and Aus
trian property now held by the alien
property custodian be used to promote
trade with those two nations, now that
the resolution reviving the War Finance
corporation has just been passed and is
to go to President Wilson on Tuesday.
In a minority report filed Just before
midnight, Monday, Representative Henry
T. Rainey of Illinois, Democratic mem
ber of the ways and means committee,
bitterly attacked the emergency tariff
bill, saying it had been prepared without
adequate hearings and without the testi
mony of experts and that he believed the
rates imposed to be 'practically pro
hibitive. RETALIATION LIKELY
"It amounts to an embargo in times
of ' peace," Rainey declared. "It will
inevitably yield to retaliatory tariffs.
Cvery commercial nation is prepared
with means for real retaliation and there
is grave danger that they will quickly
respond to the challenge."
In that connection, it Is recalled that
'be British house of commons has just
passed a bill prohibiting the Importation
into England of any foreign made dyes
of a class or qus'Hy the same as is
manufactured in Great Britian. This
runs counter to the dye' protection bill
sponsored by Representative Long worth
of Ohio, which it is understood Senator
Knox of Pennsylvania is planning to add
onto the emergency tariff bill when it
comes from the house.
"This bill Is protection-mad." Rainey
says in his report. "The medicine now
being administered will not cure the
patient and it is for the farmers and
other industries this bill should become
law, but it may make matters worse."

New Tork. Dec 2L (U. P.) The mass

VANCOUVER HALTS
ARIFF LAW WOULD
PROHIBITIVE
GAS RATE HEARING
CLOSES; DECISION
IS EXPECTED SOON
Early decision on the application
of the Portland Gaa & Coke com
pany for an Increased rate was
promised by the Oregon public Ser
vice commission at the close of a
five day hearing Monday afternoon.
Seven dayB were allowed for the
filing of briefs by the gas company
and by , opponents of the proposed
increase and, according to Chairman
Buchtel of the commission, final de
cision probably will be rendered be
fore January 1.
The application calls for an increase
of approximately 45 "per cent over exist
ing 'gas rates and is based on the ad
vance in price which the 'company will
be obliged to pay for oil from which gas
is manufactured after December 3L
OIL PRICE INCREASES
The present price of 74 cents per
barrel is fixed by a six-year contract
with the Union Oil company, which ex
pires the last day of this month, after
which the ruling market price of $2.75
per barrel will prevail.'
The oil companies refuse to enter into
new contracts for the supply of crude oil,
according to officials of the fas com
pany, and will not guarantee a perma
nent Bupply at any price. The proposed
gas rate is therefore made flexible and
would rise or fall from month to month
in conformity to the existing price of olL
The principal objection raised to the
proposed new gas rating was that it lays
a higher proportionate burden of in
crease on the use of gas for domestic
purposes than on the larger industrial
consumers.'
WHAT INCREASE MEANS
The monthly gaa bill of a consumer
using J000 cubic feet would rise from the
present rate of $2.85 to $4.59 while the
rate for a monthly consumption of 20.000
cubic feet would rise from $19 to $23.29,
according to figures submitted by the
company.
For house heating purposes the pro
posed rate provides an advance from $5
to $9.20 foF 10.000 feet ; an increase from
$10 to $17.20 for a consumption of 20,000
feet per month, and from $15 to $25.20
for consumers using 30,000 feet per
month. '
Hllmar Papet, general manager of the
Portland Gas & Coke company, occupied
the witness stand during the greater
part of the hearing on Monday and en
deavored to show the fairness of the
rate submitted by the company.
WAGE SITUATION DISCUSSED
Proposed reduction of the number of
heat units in gas furnished was also
taken up Monday afternoon. The present
standard required by law in Oregon is
570 British thermal units, compared with
800 units in Washington and California,
where hearings are under way looking to
reductions.
Possible reduction in wages paid by the
gaa company was introduced by City At
torney La Roche, who stated that the cost
of labor and materials is taking a gen
eral downward trend. In support of this
contention La Roche called upon Arthur
W. Jones, director of the public employ
ment bureau of the city, who testified
that there are between 8000 and 10,000
Idle men in the city. ,
WILL NOT CUT FATROLL
Unemployment in various industries
ranges from 10 to 25 per cent in Port
land, according to Jones.
It was previously shown at the hear
ing that wages paid by the gas company
had been advanced from 80 per cent to
300 per cent in various operating de
partments and officials of the company
testified that there was no intention on
the part of the management to reduce
these wage scales.
'MASTERFUL'
MAN; EYE LURED GIRL
tContinad Fran Pace One)
if Mr. Hamon had not well. Mr.
Hamon asked me one day Lf I would go
riding with him occasionally if he
bought himself an automobile.
"I knew then realized fully what
sort of a man he was. My instinct was'
guiding me truly. I laughed at him.
WOULD BUY FURS .
"?vo girl should ever laugh at a
masterful man. It makes him grim and
determined, and in the end, gets him
what he wants.
"I laughed at him. I was only 17. I
said: 'I would not go riding with you
if you had a string of automobiles.'
"What a strange thing I should have
said that and meant it.
'So many hours, days, weary long
times, have I sat In Jake Hamon's auto
mobiles and rattled with him over Okla
homa roads from one oil field to an
other. "Again heiCame into the-store about
Christmas time and I showed him a set
of furs that had. Just arrived. I sug
gested that, may be, he would like to
buy them for his wife. ,
WEST TO OFFICE
" 'I will buy you all of the furs you
can wear, he answered, 'if you will
come to me some tims In my office.'
"My face burned at the Insult."
The woman turned more toward me
and away from the 19-year-old brother
who Fat on her other side. Her voice
went low and the words were halting.
-Ana wien one day I did go to his
office. I did not like him. I despised
him. But he was just a masterful man
and I had laughed at him."
SLEPT IJT AUTOMOBILE
"The man really became wonderful in
my eyes after we had become sweet
heartsbefore he got to beating me.
"Those early years of our romance
were wearying.. Night after night I
have slept in the rear of bis little au
tomobile at the site of some oil pros
pect we were examining. The struggle
and the exhausting work and hours
told on him.
"He'd say to me: "Clara. I'm going
to quit; the game's not worth the ef
fort.' "But always I'd cry out to him : -No,
we won't quit ; It's a glorious, a won
derful game, and we're going to win.'
"Jake- Hamon won he won first a
fortune in the oil business, and then
he won power in politics.
HELPED MAKE FORTUNE
"But women are all like me, I guess,"
she went on.. "They are happy when
their man succeeds. They wouldn't
want even to have any of the luster
of his greatness shine upon them."
A grim tone suddenly entered into
the telling of the story..
'Every dollar he had. every political
influence he had, I helped him achieve
I say this now because I feel that I
owe it to myself and to my family to
protect my standing by giving out this

SOVIET SWORD IS

the enumeration of booty captured by
our armies." -
' "How long do you expect this period
to last?" Trotsky was asked. He re
plied: "In this regard you ought to look for
enlightenment beyond boundaries of
soviet Russia ; , in those official head
quarters where all plots and attacks and
campaigns against soviet Russia are
being manufactured.
PEACE IS WANTED
"We want lasting peace. We wanted
peace before the Polish war broke out
last spring. We should think that the
entente would grant concessions now that
we have offered amnesty to the Wrangel
crowd and in view of the utter hopeless
ness of their undertaking.
"Russian peace, however, was not
wanted in Paris and London. The re
sult has been that .after witter Strugs
gle and immeasurable losses Poland got
less than we had been offering her.
Wrangel's adventure in South Russia
swallowed up some tens of thousands of
lives and a few billions of francs. The
result is that Wrangel's hordes were
annihilated." - '
"What do you regard as the chief
problem of the moment?" Trotsky was
asked. He responded :
"The economic problem. You know
that I recently returned from Donets
basin where I, together with a com
mission sent by the council (peoples com
missars), studied conditions In the coal
and iron fields. We learned that the
metal industries and the coal mines in
the Donetz basin are now beyond dan
ger either from Armenia or the
Caucasus.
TO SPEED OUTPUT
"It is quite possible to double or even
treble the production of coal within the
next few months. I am convinced that
the measures taken by the government
guarantee satisfactory results. We are
restarting the big metal factories in the
south. Railway transportation Is im
proving. The attention of the country
is being directed from questions of
politics and war to economic construc
tion. We are very much interested in
international trade. Still more we would
like, to be left in peace. On this con
dition we could pledge ourselves not to
un sheath the sword In the future."
"What are your, purely military prob
lems?" Trotsky was asked. He replied:
CLAIMS ARMY IS LOYAL
"We wish to decrease the numbers of
men' In the army, but at the same time
Increase the fighting ability of the army.
The capitalistic press has fed its read
ers on fancy stories about the alleged
distintegration of the Red army and
about Comrade Budenny's betrayal and
so on. There still may be in Europe
some numbskulls who believe such tales
as these. As a matter of fact during
the operations against Wrangel the Red
army reached a new level in efficiency
and strategy as well as in heroism. The
Russians' showed themselves good fight
ers. Our infantry in particular scored
a great success. Among the many
trophies captured from , the Wrangel
forces we did not find anything that
we did not already possess."
"What about the Caucasus and the
Near East?" Trotsky waa asked. Trot
zky replied :
"Our policy there is the same as on
the Dniester and the Narova (the dis
tricts where the Red Russians fought
Wrangel and the Poles) a policy of
fighting for peace.
INTENSE WORK AHEAD
"Statesmen of the Capitalistic coun
tries regardless of their (thousand par
dons) blockheadedness in questions of
revolution and socialism ought to under
stand that our profoundest interests
political, economic and cultural de
mand a policy of peace and intense
work."
"What about the predictions of the
early collapse of the soviet regime?"
Trotzky was asked. .He replied:
"I remind you that Premier Lloyd
George expressed his belief early in the
year that the collapse of the soviet j
regime would soon come. He said that!
'such a mad regime could not possibly
last.' Permit me' to call your attention!
to the persistency of some statesmen In
their role of unlucky prophets. As to
our mad regime I am really at a loss to
say anything in its defense. To be sure
we haye no hereditary kinds at the head
of our state as Is the case In well con
ducted countries. We miss thereby the
court life and its ennobling influences
on the people. .We have no dukes, no
marshals, no viscounts, no peers, no
generals nor any exalted sharpers clad
In solemn judicial robes.
"We also lack sadly a house of lords
to- whom Lloyd George referred in 1908
as "parasitical successors of miscreants
and parasites, but who, nevertheless,
even now continue to decorate certain
civilised countries.' We have no bankers
in Russia, no capitalists, no usurers
who, in strict conformity with all the
rules of modern civilization feverishly
enrich themselves during war at the ex
pense of others. We have no profes
sional parliamentarians who once in
five years- make the exploited masses
vote for one or the other of the existing
bourgeolse parties. All legislation and
executive organs of our republic are
subject to the congress of workers and
peasants which meets every December
In the person of thousands of real work
ers and peasants. Our task is to raise
the prosperity and culture .of the people
on the basis of equality. We hold that
all are equal as to duties as well as
privileges.
' "We want peace but we are going to
hit back if we are attacked. It is quite
natural that our order of things in the
opinion of certain gentlemen is a mad
regime."
