PERPLEX WORKERS
BUILDING HIGHWAY
Workmen engaged in surfac-
ing tho Columbia River highway
near the Deschutes river contin
tic to make strange finds, as sand
used in surfacing Is excavated
from a sand bank adjoining the
road.
Many theories have been ad-
vanced as to the Identity of the
skeletons which are being uncov-
ered daily by workmen. The
large number of comparatively
modern implements of various
kinds, including copper kettles,
a telescope, a compass and an
army saddle, Is pointed out by
some as Indicative that the skel-
otons are those of white persons.
This theory is somewhat borne
out by the finding during tho
last several days of additional
skeletons, this time showing evl-
dence of the bodies having been
buried in crude wooden coffins.
The Indian burial custom was to
take the bodies to one -of the
islands in the middle of the Co-
lumbia river, whore they were
stacked in "dead" houses, it is
pointed out. 9
In addition to the several ad-
dltionnl skeletons found, about -It
100 silver thimbles have been
sifted out of the sand. Each ot
these thimbles has a small hole
in the end.
MANIAC'S STORY OF
BODIES OF TWO BOYS KILLED
BY INSANE FATHER
ARE FOUND.
Hy United News
SAN RAFAEL, Cnl., April 20
"Their mother in Heaven was call
ing, so I had to kill them so they
could go to her," explained John
Cornyen, self confessed slayer of his
two sons, Arthur nnd Andrew, as
bo stared with ;lassy oyes at the
dead bodies of the two small boys.
"Thoy begged pitifully," ho con
tinued, "but they looked so pretty
and handsome that I had to do It."
Cornyen, who was recently releas
ed from the Agnow hospital for the
Insane, had tried to kill his children
overal times before. When he was
committed to tho asylum the chil
dren becamo wards of the juvenile
court and wore brought to St. Vin
cents orphnnago hero.
Apparently cured or his homicidal
mania, Cornyen applied for an order
to allow him to get the two boys
from tho asylum so that he could,
as he said, take them to visit their
slstor Ruth, two and a half years
old, who is being cared for at St.
Joseph asylum.
Yosterday morning ho appeared at
the orphanage nnd securod the boys,
Arthur, nine nnd Andrew, soven. He
started for San Francisco, but tho
boys wanted to go for a hlko In
the hills. ,
At Corte Madera, sovon mils south
of here, thoy loft tho train and walk
ed to tho top of Chapman Hill, tho
highest point near here. "When wo
got up," said Cornyen, "I heard their
mother calling, so 1 shot them, so
they could go to her."
Today a searching party found tho
bodies. Roth boys bad been shot
through tho head.
"I shot Andrew first," declared
Cornyen. "Then Arthur started to
cry. Ho didn't know what to do
Then I shot him."
Yesterday Cornyen appoared at
tho police station in San Francisco
'iul told detectives that ho had kill
id his two sons. Ho was so inco
herent 'that pollco officials at first
thought he was under tho tufluonco
-if Ihpior or drugs. Later ho became
i..cue latlou!1.! and offered to load
tho pollco to the scene of tho crimo.
Two dotectlves started for Marin
county with him. Sheriff Keating
met tho party at tho ferry and tried
to get Cornyen to toll him where
ho had taken his children.
Ue, refused to tell where ho had
committed tho crimo but said that
ho would lead officers to tho scone.
Tho party started out and search
d the hills of Ma rim county under
tho leadership of tho demented man
for several hours, As It becamo ap
parent that ho had no recollection
ot his surroundings a call was sent
out to tho orphan asylum for help
.n combing tho broken country back
ot Corte Madera.

telephouo operator who lives on
Chapman hill, heard reports of tho
tragedy and suddenly rocolloctod she

she had heard two shots after they
had gone out of sight.
Another searching party Imme
diately left for Chapman hill and
they found the bodies lying face
down under a cypress tree at the
very top of the hill.
Cornyen broke down when brought
to the place where the boys were.
A charge of murder has been
brought against htm by Sheriff Keat

tho approval of Premier Briand, wore
scrutinized last night by members
of the cabinet.
The complete plans were taken to
London today by Louis Loucheur,
minister of the redeemed French
territories.
He left last night to embark on
a channel steamer.
Cabinet members believed it cer
tain that Germany's newest repar
ations porposals will be unsatisfac
tory. Premier Briand, it was announced,
will leave Friday for another con
ference with Lloyd George. He be
lieved thfs session might last five
or six days.
PARIS, April 26 Regardless of
the outcome of Germany's new re
parations proposals, France will de
mand immediate occupation of the
Ruhr valley if the reparations com
mission's demand for surrender of
tho Relchsbank's metal reserve Is
not met by Friday, it was officially
stated today.
Tho reparations commission first
asked Germany to place her entire
metal reserve in the Reichsbank
branches at Coblenz f.nd Cologna.
This was refused and tho commis
sion now wants complete surrender
of one billion gold marks by Friday.
The commission and tho French
government regard the ultimatum .as
outside the general question of re
parations. By A. L. Bradford
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, April 26 Ger
many's trump card in the desperate
reparations game was laid before
Secretary of State IRighes today.
With the note to the United States
forwarding new reparations propos
als, Germany hopes at tho eleventh
hour to stave of military occupation
of the rich Ruhr region, which the
lilies are determined to carry out
o enforce their reparations de
mands.
The German note Is In answer to
Secretary Hughes' recent rejection
of Germany's plea that President
Harding mediate the reparations
question. Hughes in his reply ox
messed the hope that Germany for
mulate now proposals which could
bo taken as a proper basis for furth
er negotiations.
Dispatches from Berlin stating
that Germany has agreed in the
new proposals to negotiate on tho
basis of a sum approaching the al-
lied demands of 226,000,000,000 gold
marks, have led to the belief that
tho United States may approve the
now Gorman program.
BERLIN. April 26 Germany's
newest offer of reparations to be
allies Is 200,000,000.000 gold marks
in annuities, It was stated officially
today.
The sum is equal to about ?47,-
r.00,000,000.
Tho offer was regarded as tho equal
of fifty billion marks with interest
over tho long period of payment.
