1 It probably newer VrlU be1 known defi
nitely where the fire was started, Fire
1 Marshal Orenieil stated today after
la strenuous Investigation by himself,
; Ussistant -Fire Varshal Cooper and
Captain Harry: Roberts.
' "There is strong- evidence that the
biase Started In the basement," Gren
feil said. "On ' the other hand, it
might I have started In the attic and
"burning timbers may have fallen Into
the basjement. ! When I first want. into
the buiMing. it was burning savagely
i on the third floor and also up from
. the basement.
i " We will never be sure where It
started, aa the building burned so
completely that alt evider.c we might
have bad was : destroyed."
St'SPECT BASEMEN'S OKIGIJT
J The favorite belief of. others around
the fire ' marshal's of fife was that it
started in the basement ana snot aw
most immediately up through a light
well. Sparks 'from the basement could
have started flames pn the third floor
before the flames actually reached that
portion of the building.
The fire marshal's office has a num
ber of clues that are being followed
up in an eiiort to itnd - the pyro
manlec. Grenfell and his staff are
thoroughly convinced, .he said this
morning.fthat the fire was started
by human hands, either through mali
cious intent or because of a maniacal
mind. The former, theory has not"
been scouted by any i.ieans as yet.
Grenfell .said "he 1- at loss to ex
p .In the explosions purpor' rt to bave
ben 'heard about the neighborhood.
"I am; confident," Grenfell said,
"that if s there were explosions, - they
were heard before any fire apparatus
reached the scene. I did. not -hear any
while I was there and neither did any
fireman. I am 'inclined to believe that
the loud noises some people, took for
explosions wrr -caused by falling
walls.. When a concrete or stone wall
falls it often makes a tremendous
roaring sound which resembles, the
noise made by a cannon or t dynamite
explosion."
GABRIEL FrXEBAX FRIDAY
The funeral of Oscar Benjamin Ga
briel, the fireman who lost his life in
the fire, will be held at 2 o'clock Fri

To save public money: ' '
' 1. Require public utilities, such as the telephone company, to pay
trio expense of maintaining the Oregon public service commission.
Through licenses, the auto stages and trucks are afready, required. In
effect, to pay their part of maintaining the .public service commis
sion, but the- telephone, street car and railway companies are' not.
The saving to the state would be about $100,009 a year.
- - -2. Stop wild orgy of. bond issues until state affairs can be brought
back io a policy of sound and stable finance. -r ..,.
S, Employ every power of the governor's office to consolidate or
abolish duplicating and overlapping commissions, boards and com
mittees. Fewer boards, fewer officials and more work is a crying
cec-df -v Other states have done this, some of -which have effected
savings of more than a million, dollars a year, - -
4. Dispenso with many of the state-owned automobiles now oper
ated, at public expense.
5. Bringblghway building to an economical and business-like
status, so that newly paved roads will not have to oe rebuilt within
a year or two. By thorough investigation of methods, of some of
the contractors, and by application of needed reforms, make high
way building less expensive. romination by Jay Bowerman of high
way construction should be eliminated.
- 6. Have Jay Bowerman removed as attorney for the state banking
department, and have the attorney general do the work, as by law
required. .? . , ,
. 7. Use the veto unsparingly. Veto every appropriation bill that
Is not itemised. Veto every unnecessary, useless or questionable item
in every appropriation bill passed by the legislature.
8j Instead of the present elaborate and ' extravagant system of
government maintained tat Salem -a government almost as preten
tious as those of our oldest and richest states install a system of
simplified government, in keeping with 4he - srollt population of
Oregon.

Oakland. CaL. Oct. 26,U. P.)-Mrs.
AUce Bachelor walked 'Into the Oak
land police station today so asked po
lice to notify! Portland authorities that
she was" still alive. Police opeped a
search for her and her husband after
the woman's i mother suffered a mys
terious attack. ' She said that she be
lieved her husband to be in Portland.
Police detectives declared thle morn
ing they are i now convinced that Mrav
q A. Pettibone. New, S41 fast . tsui
street north, ; was not poisond by r-her
son-in-law, A. F. Batchelor, as - was
first suspecoed. . '. .-.J;
The analyses of the cup from which
she drank and which She believed con
tained -poison failed to reveal any
thing harmful in its content. It is
true- that a bottle of ohioroform was
found la the house, but detectives jay
that does not carry much weight
Mrs. Pettibone received ; a letter
Wednesday rrom Batchelor's wife, her
daoghter. is r which she said she was
unharmed, and not in trouble. The
letter scouted the theory that Batch
elor had done away with her and then
come to Portland to harm her mother.
It is now I thought that Batchelor's
strange actions are due 'to an unbalanced-miad
and that he is harm
less. The police say further that they
have no convincing evidence that
Batchelor stole the clothing which was
taken from the Pettibone country home
at Raleigh station.
Mrs. Pettibone has now completely
recovered from the effects of her sick
ness of last Sunday when she feared
she had. been made a victim of foul play.
