GEARY WILL 'BE HELD FOR AC

JURY.
A broken automobile transmission
Friday night demonstrated that. Bob
by Burns was correct when he wrote
that little line about tha "best laid
plans ot mice and men." For if the
transmission of Charles Geary's car
had continued to operate properly
on that night, Geary would now be
in Idaho, local automobile dealers
would be "out" 130.30 and the local
county Jail would have one less
prisoner than it now has
The whole affair started Friday,
when Geary drove up to The Dalles
garage, purchased some gas and on
and submitted a $10 check is pay.
ment, "receiving $7 fn change. Be'
coming suspicious of the check,
James Sharp Saturday morning tele
phoned Hotel Dalles, asking: if
Geary was still there. Upon being
informed by the clerk that Geary
had "Just checked out," Sharp call
ed the police. The check was on a
Palo Alto, Cal., bank and Sharp had
no means of ascertaining on short
notice whether it was good or not.
The police explained that they could
not arrest a man on mere suspicion,
whereupon Sharp continued his in;
vestigations. Geary's car had been
stored in the garage for a short
while Friday, at which time the
car number had been taken. Sharp
next looked up, this number, finding
that it belonged upon a White car,
owned in Eugerie.v Geary was driving
a Chandler.
His suspicions confirmed that
there was "something wrong," Sharp
;again called the police, this "time
asking Geary's arrest upon a charge
of driving with inebfrect license
plates. The officers consented to
make this arrest, but "the bird had
flown."
Geary got only as far as the De
schutes river, . .however, where he
was stopped by the breakdown of
his car. Coming back to The Dalles,
he ordered a new transmission from

CARNIVAL'S USE OF

Residents in Court street, betweeu
Third and Fourth, thought for a while
this morning that they were going to
be "entertained" for the remainder
of the week, when the Boufcher
French Carnival company arrived' in
the city and started putting up its
tents along this street.
The original agreement between the
carnival company and the local
Knights of PythiaB lodge, under whose
auspices the carnival is being put on,
specified that the carnival should be
staged on the beach, below the city.
Leaping of this agreement to hold
the shows on- the, beach, Court street
residents, headed by Dr. O. D. Doane,
protested holding it on the stredt to
Mayor P. J. Stadelman. The mayor
immediately called a special meeting
of the city council for consideration of
the question,
Heavy wind which often blows In
The Dalles, waa given by officials of
the carnival company as the reason
for wishing to use the streets instead
of the specified location on the beach.

TARIFF RATES
TO BET
FREE LIST VIRTUALLY ELIMIN
ATED CALCULATED TO DOU
BLE DUTIES.
By Herbert W. Walker
(United News Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, May 9 Republi
can congressional records for high
protective tariffs will be equalled
and probably broken by the new
permanent tariff bill whicn has
been virtually completed by the re
publican members of the house ways
and means committee today.
A survey of the schedules thus
far agreed to by the sub-committee
reveals that tho rates may average j
slightly above the schedules or the
famous IPayne-Aldrich bill of 1909,
which caused a serious split in tho
party.
The rates in general In the new
bill will be nearly three times the
present democratic rafes as pro
vided by the Underwood law.
In the new bllt which is now being
framed tho free list, on which are
now many food products, has been
virtually eliminated. One member of
the committeo' estimated that it
would not contain more than 15 or
20. items in place of more than 200.
Representative Fordney, Michigan,
chairman of the ways and means
committee, believes the new bill
will double the amount now being
received from tariff duties, which 1b
about 1350,000,000.
Others members of the committee
believe because of the general busi
ness depression Imports will be
greatly decreased by tba higher du
ties and the yieTd will not be mon
than 1500,000,000 a year.
Fordney said today that , he ex
pects to have the bill before the
bouse by June 1.
"It will bo a thoroughly republi
can aad protective measure," he
laid.

By United Press
PORTLAND, Ore., May ,9. With
nothing more to work on than the dis
covery of a skeleton and a corroded
ring several weeks ago, police detec
tives were believed to be near the so
lution of a seven-year-old murder mys
tery when they issued warrants today
for the arrest of two Macedonians for
complicity in the killing.
The Bkeletbn was discovered by
wrecking and excavation crews remov

outskirts of the city. A ring engraved
with the name. "'-Mabel" was the only
clue. ,
Police, however, believe triey have
identified the. skeleton as that of .Ma

Clune of Hawthorne, Cal., who dis
appeared mysteriously seven years
