" ' President R." F, Schols conferred
the degree "bachelor of aft" on-J 9
seniors, the eeventh graduating- class
. at . Reed college, at an Impressive
-: fcpen air ceremony Saturday. Presen
tation of degrees followed an inepir-
l4ng commercemitltuddress by Presi
dent E. O. Sisson of the University of
Montana, who becomes head of the
philosophy department at Reed next
ear. Several hundred ; underclass
pnen, alumni and friends and rela
tives of the graduates witnessed the
leeremony. t . ,' ,".
. - "Our destiny la in our own hands."
said President Hlsson. addressing the
six rows of seniors directly In front of
the speaker's platform. "Our need Is
for a knowledge of the past which will
enable us to stake out the course of
events, and ascertain the direction we
are traveling. With foresight it is then
ur task to lend our hand to progress.
ItTKSKILLED AEE DISPLACED
if "Man below the ears used to be worth
a dollar a day." said the speaker. ,"I
recently Inspected a hydro-electric plant
jwhere energy was being furnished the
Consumer at Nthe rate of 2 cents a. day
per manpower. Man's Ingenuity has
forced him from the field of unaided
. labor, and machinery has replaced thou
sands of unskilled laborers. Man has
triumphed over the material forces of
the universe. The task immediately
ahead is understanding himself."
Dr. Sisson cautioned his student audi
tors to fight the pestilential heresy that
youth Is the best part of life. The pur
pose of youth, said the speaker, is to
fit the individual for the two ends of
life, the Joy of living and doing, and
the eervice to one's fellows bound up in
(the creative Instinct. Middle and, later
life should be on a constantly ascending
scale in spiritual enjoyment and satis
factions. ..r-. .: , ...

man turned. Running to the home of
R. E. Green, 178? Hayen street, Mrs,
Agee screamed for aid and aroused ths
neighborhood. , Mr. and Mrs. , Green
started back with her.
YXCTIM BUSS TO POBCH
As the party neared the house, Agee
stumbled Out on ths porch and. after
turning on ths porch light, fell to the
floor.
'In a few. seconds a crowd of neigh
bors gathered. - After city detectives ar
rived, a rasor was found lying in the
street about 25 feet from the front door
of the house. The rasor was spotted
with blood. It was one Mrs. Age had
never seen before, she said.
On the south side of the house, oppo
site a dining room window, which was
found to be locked, was found a carv
ing set. a watch and several -articles of
Jewelry. The finding of this loot
strengthened the. burglary : theory; but
the fact that the window was locked
made burglary seem Improbable.
COBOXEtt SUSPECTS SUICIDE '
Deputy Coroner Leo Geetsch; adheres
to the theory that it might have been
suicide, but the neighbors are certain
this : eould not have - been so. At 10
o'clock the night before. Mr. and Mrs,
Green and Mra. Bertha Gangne, another
neighbor, left the Ages home,1 after
visit. They all stated that the Agees
seemed In the best of spirits, and in
every way cheerful and happy.
Mrs. .Agee, in giving a description of
ths man she aaw running from the
house, stated he might have bad a
white handkerchief about his face. Her
description otherwise was vague. She
told the police her bracelet, which was
en her arm when she retired, was miss
ing after the. affair. This was found
with the loot outside the locked window,
TWO CHIXBBEW AWAKE f . . i
' Two children, aged S and 3. were
sleeping in another room at the time.
They were awakened after the escape
of the murderer, r.nd the eldest was
present when neighbors were attempt
ing to give first aid to the dying father.
Dr. Van Ulehr, ITJ1 Haven street, was
called, but waa unable to render any
assistance. , James Hunter and Fred
Grover, Bertillton experts, visited the
.house, but could find no finger prints
that would help solve the mystery. The
rasor had been in the wet grass, and
nothing eould be gotten' from it. - ' ;
' The police were told of a threat made
by a Mexican, whom Agee arrested sev
eral years ago while serving as marshal
In Worland. Wyo. The Mexican, who
was charged with being drunk, is re
ported to have threatened to kill Agee.
At Af irst . this caused some excitement,
but the detectives - later discaroed the
theory that the murder-was committed
for revenge. Another report was made
that Agee had had some altercation
with other Workmen at the Portland Gas
A Coke company, where he was employed,
but Investigation failed to reveal any
thing to support this theory,
r Mrs. Agee is remaining wth her two
children in the Green home. ; ,
Coroner Earl : Smith "announced Sat

held at the court house at 8 :30 Monday

Unjust Fruit Eate
Salem. 5- June 1L 8trenuoua protest
against the apparent discrimination
against Oregon fruit Interests Is regis
tered by Chairman Fred A. Williams
of the publie service commission In a
letter to H. -A. Hlnshaw. general freight
agent of tba Southern Facifio company,
today. - i '- .
"We are 'advised that the Southern
Paclfie placed in effect about the first
of June a 95 cent per hundred rate on
dried fruit in boxes from California
points to New York and eastern points
via Galveston . and New Orleans." Wil
liams writes. "The best rate that the
dried fruit, men have in Oregon to date
is S1-66V. It stands to reason without
argument that this Is pot only basely
discrimlhstory and preferential to Cali
fornia, but I hurtful In the extreme to
the fruit production In the , atate of
Oregon. , . - ' '
... "We ere I yery much surprised thr.t
the Southern Pacific line, whleh tra
verses Oregon; from north to soutn
through th heaviest dried fruit section,
should countenance sueh a difference In
rates, especially irora w HHwiieiw
valley This rate is so manifestly t-r'
erential to CJaHfornia and discriminatory
to Oregon that it hardly seems neceaaaty
tnat Ahis commission should purpue it
further than to call your attention to
the situation. - ! . '
"The fruit situation - is In ; such a
critical condition, anyhow, that it seems
that ; the railroads would try to en
eaurago it rather than discourse the
producers, i - - .
' "It goe without saying that we shall
expect Immediate equalisation at your
bands.". i

SIMS IS UNWOVED
BYDENBY ORDER
(Ocmtintied Vrom Face One) . . , -
meat for the voluble-adtniral baa been
determined on. - . -1 f
Secretary Denby. decided on thia sum
mary action after he had waited in vain
for a reply to his original cablegram of
Wednesday ordering Admiral -Sims to
"Inform the department immediately by
cable whether or not you were correctly
quoted" in press accounts of his "jack
ass speech In London Tuesday.
The "snap" and tone to the secretary's
order today plainly reveals the hlah ten-
'sion of bis feelings on the subject. It
says: -';v-:v:. - . -,-
"The remainder of your leave Is re
voked. Tou wll return- to the United
States Immediately and report at once in
person to the - secretary of the navy.
Acknowledge." . : r -
While Admiral Sims plain disposition
to take his own time about replying to
his chiefs order for an explanation of
his "jackass" speech apparently prompt
ed today's peremptory order, "continued
insubordination" In repeating ths state-
men ta which drew the administration's
wrath down on his head chiefly was re
sponsible, officers at the department
pointed out. .
His neglect In replying to the secre
tary's orJer and his constant repetition
of the "amazing" statements have
aroused the Intense Indignation of PresI
dent Harding as well aa Mr, Denby, it
was -plain today, - ;
In a conference with newepaper or
respondents this afternoons;. Secretary
Denby declared that in revoking Admiral
Sims' leave and ordering him home, he
had been actuated by the officer's fail
ure to reply to his cablegram of Wednesday.-
as directed.
The secretary would go into no fur
ther detail as to the Insubordination or
other features of the case.
He admitted that his order waa very
drastic and said he knew of no pre
cedent for revoking the lea re of a rear
admiral in this fashion. -
