Robbery and- a young Indian woman are in volved in one of the bloodiest trage dies of Northern California, as a "re sult of which; Frits OTlSereidorouth in his twenties, . is held on charges killing his two companions, Joseph Mc- Intyre, 23, husband of "Shoe Buster," the Klamath Indian woman,' and Jack Brenton, 26., The men were shot down Sunday afternoon, .October S, on the beach two miles below Crescent City. j Gerrold was arrested On the night of the murders on a eharge of com plicity in a Crescent City robbery. At the time the murders had not been discovered. When Jess Millet, a cell mate, informed Sheriff J. R. Breen of Del Norte county, that Oerroid had told him details of the killing the sheriff investigated and found the bodies as Millet said Oerroid had de scribed them. Millet asserted Oerroid said he killed Brenton because the latter had witnessed the slaying of Mclntyre and that after the two had been shot down he shot each in the head to make sure they were dead. Efforts by the authorities to get Oer roid to talk have failed and he main tains an unconcerned attitude. ' The men involved are said to have eblonged to, a gang operating about Crescent City. The Indian woman was arrested on bigamy charges but was released after Mclntyre's death. She was the wife of Lawrence Burse, reputed leader of the gang, at the time she married Mclntyre, officials say. One theory of the crime is that Mclntyre had incurred enmity of his fellow gangsters and that Gerrold was chosen to kill him.

This election was car ried, by a majority of 39 votes. The farmers protest that unfair methods were used at the " electidn : that electioneering was permitted di rectly at the polls; that the election board permitted persons to cast their ballots who have lived in the district only three months, and that inmates of the county poor farm were rounded up and carried to the polls to vote,-for the bond measure. Today was the last day in which PZ?,l Ji!!? f"l.t5f?mJn?r ' - wvaitAVf uvatll t IIO Wi- licial canvass, of votes at this time.

(WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) Effort of Representative Volstead, chairman of the judiciary qornmittee of the house, to empower the United States district courts with authority to bring witnesses from any 'part of the United States to attend a trial In a suit brought by the government, and to sue all the defendants in .a case where one of them resides? if there be more than en defendant, has so far failed. This legislation has been asked by Attorney-General Daugherty as an aid to civil suit to be instituted in war fraud cases. He says it is necessary. would be futile in many instances to sue6eparatey the defendants in volved in tMs--class of .eases. ' and wit nesses would oniyte-.jsummoned from one district to another in unusual in stances upon special permission from the trial judge. - f Objections have been raised that (his is greater power than congress has ever before thought safe to lodge in the judges, who will thus be able to order a, witness brought from Oregon, for example, to Boston, or from New York to Seattle. It is pointed out that the legislation is general and not 'spe cial. .It Is said to be needed for war fraud cases, but it would apply te all cases, Mr. Volstead said this is necessarily so because it is difficult to: define a war fraud case, and he did not believe such power would be abused, anyway. Asked why the government should be given special privileges to sue all the defendants in one district, when citi zens suing in the federal coutu can not do so, Mr. Volstead said tno spe cial reason was given," he would leave that to some one" else to explain.

OLCOTT TELLS OF PLANS TO REDUCE The Dalles, Oct. 21. To an audience. U - hich comfortably filled the theatre of the Civic auditorium. Governor Ben W. OJcott last night set forth his plea for reelection. Accompanying him was Tom Kay, ex-state treasurer, who launched a 'vigorous attack against Walter M. Pierce, Olcott confining him self to an exposition Of the Items of state governmental expense and en larging upon his own plans for reduc tion of . taxes. ' The governor repeated his statement, made at1 various points in Eastern Ore gon, that taxation costs in Oregon to day are not due to extravagant ad ministration ; by state officials, but rather to acts voted, by the people. SCANDAL IS MISSI3TG The 11 state institutions, he declared, were never functioning better than to day, and he said that during his ad ministration id taint of scandal -had eter anneared. 1 The largest item of State expense, he reminded, foe highways, was not eosi int iHTonn onR.rent in taxation, and he commented upon the great plan of construction being put. through by the highway commission, which will have lesulted, by j the end or. tne year, in construction of 810 miles of paving. The saturation point In taxes, he de clared, was foreseen by the administra tion and resulted in appointment oi tne committee which later recommended to the legislature the appointment or tne tn-r tnmstieiation commission. ' This hiv. twsaid. has nreBared data which he fnreasted would i result in relief measures before the state legislature next winter. SIDE STEPS PROMISE.

Kay devoted his talk to refutation of statements being made by Senator Pierce on taxation -, matters.

This afternoon he wiH visit Cascade Locks and tonight return to Hood River for a imblio address. Germans Vaccinate Trees and Produce Imitation Hard Wood . By FerdlBsBd C. M. Jahn United Press Staff Correspondent Berlin, Oct- 21. Several acres of "dyed" or "vaccinated" trees are grow ing in the vicinity of Hanover, their leaves red and black and other unusual colors, their wood similarly stained. This is the result of the newest achievement of German science, which converts ordinary wood into an imita tion hard wood by feeding the tree dyes while its grows. The process can be further amplified, so that an actual hardwood mahogany, ebony 'and so on 4s developed under hydraulic pres sure. Holders of patents for the new pro cess eay that they will make the Ger man furniture industry independent of import of costly foreign woods, while with the hardening; process it is'ex pec ted that a substitute for hard woods in furniture making and in bobbin manufacture will be achieved at low prices. - i . The Overseas week in Hamburg dis played a number of samples of the vac cinated wood, the promoters claiming that these specimens) were scarcely to be distinguished from the genuine. There is a question, however, as to whether or mot the color would remain fast. The inventors aay It will hold.
