WOMAN HOLDS 3
MEN AT BAY WITH
PISTOL OVER DOG
v With a pistol in her hand, Mrs. 1
"Jane Doe" Richardson held Consta
ble Ed Gloss, Deputy Constable Wat
kinds and Dr. C. J. Dean at bay for
several minutes Thursday night, at
the door of her home, 673 Third
street. And it was all for love of an
Airedale dog that Mrs. Richardson
had ho right to love, according to
Dr. Dean, who says he owns the
dog.
Dr. Dean missed his dog several days
ago, bat got word that Mrs. Richardson
had it. So. armed with a search war
rant and supported by the meti from
the constable's office, he set out to -recover
it.
Mrs. Richardson answered the knock
at the door. When Gloss started to read
the warrant to her she whipped a wicked
little black pistol from under her dress
and aimed it at the officers.
"Don't put one foot past that threshold
Or I'll shoot you like a dog," the con
stable reports her as having said.
"But we think you have Dr. Dean's
dog." remonstrated Gloss.
"if there's any dog here, it's mine,
she declared.
Gloss asked her if she had a picture of
her dog and she said there was one in
her album. She allowed him to enter
the room and look at the album.
"Is this your dog?" he asked.
She came to his side and leaned over
the picture. At that moment Gloss
adroitly seized her wrist and twisted the
gun out of her hand. He opened the
gun. It was empty.
At that moment an Airedale dashed
out from a back room, leaped down
stairs and into Dr. Dean's waiting auto
mobile. $11,850 JUDGMENT SEQUEL,

up with the tangled affairs of August
Junge, one time head of the Diamond
T Truck agency in Portland and now
a fugitive from Justice in Mexico.
According to the evidence, the Lebbs
borrowed money from the finance cor
poration, giving trucks In security, when
in reality these trucks were already sub
ject to liens'to their full value. The cars
Were i.i Junge's garage.
Roscoe C. Nelson, attorney for the
plaintiff, bitterly denounced the de
fendants, stating that in the last 20
years, at the bar he had never happened
upon a case so "outragenus." The jury
was out only 15 minutes.

HARDING HELPS TO
KILL SOLDIERS' BONUS
(Continued Frost Fag One)
responsible and argue that as a finan
cier and business man he ought to know
what Will and what will not hart the
business situation.
But the interesting fact is that the
soldier bonus question is by no means
disposed of either by Mr. Mellon's letter
or the attitude which congress may as
sume. v
The movement has grown rapidly and
while conservative minds inside the
American Legion have doubted the wis
dom of a bonus, the rank and file have
been enthusiastically in favor of it.
SAT BOSl'8 IXEVITABLE
The Harding administration knows
that sooner or later, either Just before
the coneressional elections of 1922 or
the presidential election of 1M4, a sol
dier bonus bill must be passed to prevent
the soldier bloc from voting In a body
asrainst the Republicans next time.
Nine out of ten political prophets here
abouts admit soldier bonus legislation is
inevitable. The only question is, when
can it be passed consistent with the con
dition of the nation's finances? The
trouble about the resent proposal is that
It makes no provisions for the raising of
the money. There is one bill providing
four different ways by which the service
men are to be rewarded.
SOBODY KNOWS
They can have money, homesteads, in
surance or vocational training, and there
is no way of telling whether the cost to
the government v-ould be a billion and a
half or four billion dollars.
It might be either figure. There are
in congress at least 15 different bills pro
posing how the money shall be released.
These suggestions go all the way from
plans to recover money received by the
so-called "war profiteers" to the use of
the billion dollars of Interest owed by
European governments to the United
States on the war debt.
Nobody knows exactly how money al
ready spent by so-called "war profiteers"
can be recovered, and that suggestion
hasn't much support except In the rad
ical group in congress.- As for the in
terest on the foreign debt, there is no
sign of money from that source, and the
chances are it will be from three to five
years before any payments are made.
DISARMAMENT FIGURES
Nevertheless, the administration will
have to think uo some way of providing
"revenue some day to meet the demands
of the eoldtera They feel that, wnne
they were abroad fighting, those who
stayed at home either made money or
preserved their opportunities in life.
To the -argument that the government
is already' overloaded with debts the
usual answer of the American Legion
members IS that there should be a re
duction In the amount spent to run the
government, and not a few of the Le
gion leaders are heart and soul behind
the disarmament movement, thinking
that the government could well afford to
pay the soldiers a bonus instead of pre
paring for war at a time when the whole
world is financially and physically ex
hausted. So even In the bonus question
the disarmament problem arises.

Couple Found Dead,
Victims of Bullets

Oakland, CaL. July 8. (L N. 8.)
Man and wife, both living in adjoin

the Hotel Royal. Twenty-second street
and San Peblo avenue, are dead today.
the victims of bullets fired by each at
the other. k
The woman is Mrs. Ethel Vaughn,
aged 30, a stenographer employed by
Maiden Sc Rittigstean, real estate deal
era. The man is her husband. Edward
C Vaughn, employed as a book agent.
Out said to have a reputation as a
gambler. The police are Investigating
to determine if he has a record.
The double murder is the outcome of
Vaughns constant hounding of his
wife, who was a beautiful woman of
a wealthy Dos Angeles family, is the
belief of inspectors J. M. Enright and
Charles Appeldorn, .who have been in
vestigating the case since the double
shooting, which happened at 11 :45
o'clock but night
It is thought that Vaughn Induced
his wife to come- into his room, a
Quarrel followed, and Vaughn suddenly
drew his revolver and fired one shot at
his wife. She screamed, and then he
fired twice more. Although badly
wounded, Mrs. Vaughn is believed to
have, then succeeded In wresting the
gun from her husband and shot him in
the back of the bead, then to have
dropped the gun on the floor and fled
to her room, dropping dead Immediate
ly after her arrival there.
THUGS CHAT WITH
(Continued From Pas Osa)
Not satisfied with this, they demanded!
more money, declaring it impossible that
this was all- Wiest had at hand. Then
one of the burglars said he had seen dia
mond rings on Mrs. Wiest's hand when
he first came into the room and ordered
her to hand them out. She denied hav
ing them, and they grabbed her hands
and found them bare.
The man still Insisted that he had seen
the rings on her hand, and when he stood
over Mrs. Wiest with a revolver raised
ready to club her over the head she pro
duced the ring-s from under the bedding.
TRTIOWK INTO CLOSET
The burglars then made Wiest get out
of bed and go into an adjoining room,
where there were two guests, Mrs. I. H.
Deardef and Mra Alma Bennett. They
required him to awaken 'these women
and warn them to make no outcry as the
house was being robbed. Then the bur
glars thrust Wiest Into a closet while
they searched the room and secured
$4.75 and a diamond ring from Mra
Deardoff and $25 from Mra Bennett.
Commanding Wiest to come out of the
closet, they covered him with guns while
they forced him back to his own bed.
They then visited the maid's room, but
found no money. Backing down the
stairs, they departed by the back door.
Wiest waited a few moments and then
descended to the first floor, held the
cut strands of the telephone wire to
gether and notified the police.
ROUGH AN O TALKATIVE
During their entire stay the burglars
were very talkative, conversing between
themselves and the Wiesta They were
very rough, but used no profane lan
guage. The leader had a deep voice and
seemed fully In command of the others.

WHEAT CROP IS BIG
IN UMATILLA COUNTY
(Continued From Paa On)
tion ot the banner wheat county will
realize instantly what Is meant Over
toward Milton and the state line a sim
ilar condition is shown.
up Helix way ana on through thr
Echo-Stanfleld country, the llaht and
semi-light lands are this season produc
ing a crop that could not be improved
upon. Out toward Pilot Rock and over
the hills of that district, the general out
look for wheat is the best known.
It is a record-breaker for every sec
tion of the county, and it is safe to say
that 250.000 bushels more wheat will be
grown in Umatilla this season than
during the best season heretofore
known. I have figures to prove this,
and the wheat will be there when the
final whir of the harvesting machines
is heard.
"Wheat has been damaged during
the last few days," Is the word that
one hears occasionally. It Is true.
There never was a perfect crop gath
ered, and there will not likely be. one
The present is about as close to per
fection as one can get, and It Is a
highly satisfactory crop In every re
spect Quantity and quality.
Those that have been Inclined to
complain of the hot weather of the last
few days aa regards the wheat crop
fall to realise that hot weather at this
period is heeded, is timely and is the
medicine needed to ripen the wheat.
I'll give the railroads this tip: Oet
your equipment ready ; within a few
days the biggest and best wheat crop
will be at your car doors.

We're Bored, Says Einstein
Women Dominate U. S. Life
By Karl H. von Wlegand
Berlin, July 8. To see ourselves
as others see us is always interesting,
even if it is not always flattering.
This fact is again exemplified in
what Professor Albert Einstein has
to say today upon his return from
America on the "exaggerated enthus
iasm" which he declares was shown
him in the United States.
The famous discoverer of the theory
of relativity, which still remains more
than relatively incomprehensible to or
dinary minds, said:
"This exaggerated enthusiasm for me
and my work struck me as being a gen
uinely and peculiarly American phenom
en. If I understand aright. It was due
largely to the fact that people over
there are tremendously bored, far more
so than Is the case with us."
SEES LITTLE OF INTEREST
Professor Einstein, in an Interview to
day in the Rotterdam Courant is quoted
as saying that there is little to interest
people in America and save them from
general boredom.
"Of course," says the scientist, "New
York, Boston, Chicago and other big
cities have their theatres and concerts
bu otherwise what? There are cities
with a million population, but cities suf
fering -from terrible poverty poverty of
intellectual things.
"Something like the theory of rela
tivity, for instance,. is given-them with
which they can play. They enthuse,
they become exalted, they argue and dis
cuss with tremendous Intensity. .
SATS WOMEN DOMINATE
"Another thing I observed IS that
women dominate the entire life of Amer
ica. The men interest themselves in
I nothing except work.
nicj in in vi iiuiuins dux worn ana
to an extent I have never seen elsewhere.
"As for the rest ot the men, they are
nothing but the little playdogs of the
women who spend their money in a reck
less manner and veil themselves in a
mist of extravagance.
They do everything that Is in vogue
or that Is the tad of the passing mo
ment. In that way they throw them
selves upon the Einstein theory.
ENJOTS THE EXCITEMENT
"Old It make a ridiculous impression
upon me to observe their excitement over
a theory of which they certainly under
stood nothing? In truth, I found It
comic. But at the same time it was In
teresting to watch them at their play.
"I firmly believe that It was the very
mysteriousness of the idea which they

could not grasp that enchanted them."
"When asked for his Impression of the
scientific life of America Einstein de
clared that he had met extraordinarily
meritorious professors. He mentioned
especially Professors Michelson and
Milleken of Chicago.
"But It would be nonsense," he de
clared, "to compare the general scien
tific life and knowledge of America with
that of Europe, Just as the general life
of Europe cannot be compared with that
of America. They are two wholly dif
ferent worlds."
GOOD WORD FOE ENGLAND
Prof. Kinstein spoke feelingly of the
impression that had been made on him
by science in England.
"In England." he said, "what serious
ness, what power, what fire ! It is far
more Intensive than in Germany. Also
much pleasanter."
Prof. Einstein was greatly pleased
with Oxford "but I also found Princeton
In America beautiful." he said. "I be
lieve that, much can be expected from
the youth of America Even if intellec
tual life now plays no role whatever
over there, there is a younger generation J
wnicn is iry ing 10 e leva is roe intellec
tual level, and their efforts wfll cer
tainly succeed, for whatever Is under
taken seriously in America Is carried
OUC"
In conclusion Prof. Einstein handed
a bouquet to the Dutch. , "Holland has
but one tenth of the population of Eng
land, but so far as scientific creative
power is concerned, it comes a close sec
ond to England."

MOVE PLANNED TO
FIGHT TRUCK TAX
Merchants of Portland are pre
paring to retaliate against the con
sumers of Oregon City because of
the $10 permit tax which the city
council of the paper mill city haa
imposed upon vehicles making deliv
eries from outside points.
Recently the Oregon City council
a "vehicle ordinance." which pre
fer the enforcement of a $10
monthly license fee upon trucks and
wagons making deliveries from outside
points. Since more than 100 firms la ,
Portland make moat of their deliveries
to Oregon City by truck, the new tax
interfered With their business.
After several conferences between the
city officials of Oregon flty and bust-
m of Portland it was decided
that It would be impossible to gain a re
peal or the enactment. Through the
trade and commerce department ot the
Chamber of Commerce a meeting- of
business men has been called for 4
o'clock next Wednesday afternoon, at
which methods of retaliation will be dis
cussed. In calling the meeting it was pointed
out that the tax Is unfair, inasmuch as
firms In Vancouver, Wash., do not have
to pay the tax because they are engaged
in Interstate business and also because
Clackamas county farmers bring their
goods to Portland for disposition with
out any charge except that of a nom
lnal stall fee at the public market.
It is probable that the tax fee will be
ssssssed upon goods delivered to the
Oregon City retail merchants and the
ultimate consumer, aa the Portland
business men have decided It would be
unprofitable to conduct business with
the neighboring town and still carry the
tax provided lor in the vehicle ord
lnance.
