" We-wero at Lewiston, Idaho,'
a week ago. It is one of the hot
test places on the continent this
time of , the year, yet they had a
frightful "hall storm recently that
damaged the apple crop half a
million dollars. The city people
turned out by thousands to help
the fruit growers thin the hall-damaged-apples
off the trees, so
as to save the rest of the crop.
One could 'buy off by paying for
a day's wages for some other
worker, but the Chautauqua force
decided that they too would help.

BRUMFIELD STILL
WANTED IN MYSTERY
(Continued from page 1.)
Brumfield made much of the
fact that the nails of the
hands were well kept, being
neatly trimmed and polished.
Friends of Dennis Russell,
however, stated that he al
ways kept his finger nails in
good condition.
- Mrs. Brumfield and others who
stated that the body was that of
the doctor, stated that the dentist
hadi heavy calouses on his feet
This, too, was claimed by Russell's
friends and relatives.
Mutilation Hinders Identification
Physicians who made the post
mortem examination on the body
slated that the body was in such
a bidly mutilated state that iden
tification was practically impos
sible. The most convincing of the
evidence in identifying the body
centered around the feet and par
ticularly the toe nails. Friends
of Russell stated that his toe nails
were very crooked and peculiar.
This fact, they said, was noticed
also by them when they viewed
the body in the morgue after it
was found beneath the car.
Finger Prints Fail
Reports from James Hunter,
Portland fingerprint expert, was
given the Jury by Coroner M. E.
RItter. Mr. Hunter stated that
the finger prints were entirely un
satisfactory., The print taken
from the Russel cabin was too
old and in spite of the best efforts
to bring out the markings nothing
could be learned which would
assist in the case.
Pout Mortem Results Told
Dr. 0. E. Houck this afternoon
told of the post mortem examina
tion conducted, by him on the
headless body. He found two bul
let holes entering the back and
ranging downwards. The bullets
were shot into the body after life
had passed out, he said, as there
were no signs of bleeding around
the wounds on the interior of the
body. Dr. Houck could not iden
tify the body as either" that of
Russell or Brumfield.
Coroner Ritter testified that
the. hair found on the scalp cling
ing to the body, which he cut off
as evidence, resembled the hair
of Dr. Brumfield. Hair on an
other piece of scalp found at the
wreck was like Russell's, he said.
Coroner Ritter produced two box-1
es of exhibits taken from the
scene of the wreck, including two
pieces of scalp and a charred ear.
Mrs. Brumfield was recalled to
the stand this morning and was
closely questioned as to the move
ments of her husband the week
preceding his disappearance.

message "to the people of
Illinois" tonight that he is
"absolutely innocent of every
charge they make." He ad
ded that he believed Lieuten

personal enmity.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., July 20.
Warrants were issued for Gover
nor Small." Lieutenant Governor
Sterling and Vernon Curtis, the
Grant Park banker, following
their indictment today on charges
of embezzlement, conspiracy and
operating a confidence game
through the alleged use of inter
est on state funds for their per
sonal gain.
Embezzlement Charged
Four indictments were returned.
They covered charges of fraud by
the trio during the terms of Small
and Sterling in the state treasur
er's office between 1917 and 1921.
The first indictment charged
the governor, lieutenant governor
and Curtis jointly with embezzle
ment of $700,000. A separate in
dictment against Governor Small
charged him with embezzlement
of $500,000, while Lieutenant
Governor Sterling' was individually
charged with embezzlement of
$700,000. The fourth indictment
charges the three with conspiracy
and operation of a confidence
game', involving two million dol
lars interest on state funds.
The alleged illegal operations
named in the indictments centered
around deposits of state funds
with the "Grant Park bank," held'
by the grand Jury to have been a
fictitious institution since 1908,
when it ceased to function.
Governor Appears Today
Individual ., bonds on each in
dictment were fixed at $50,000 by
Judge E. S. Smith.
Governor Small was notified of
the indictments at his office
through his 'secretary, George
Sutton. Lieutenant Governor
Sterling and Mr. Curtis were no
tified by the sheriffs of their re-
pective counties.
Governor Small will appear in
court at 9 o'clock tomorrowvmorn-
ng. it was said, to arrange his
bonds.
The "Grant Park bank" estab
lished many years ago by Alonzo
Curtis, father of Vernon Curtis
and the late Senator Curtis, al
though having ceased to function
several years prior to Small's
term as treasurer, was used by the
aalleged conspirators as the agen
cy through which to make loans of
state funds to Armour & com
pany, and Swift & company. Chi
cago packers, according to the in
dictments. Althoueh the packers
notes drew 7 and 8 per cent in
terest, it is charged that less than
per cent was turned into the
state treasury during the Small
and Sterling terms.
Brundage Pushes Caw
Under the law in operation then
the state treasurer was requested
to obtain at least 2 per cent on
state funds, but according to At
torney General Brundage. who
pushed the investigation, the law
aid not permit the treasurer to use
for private gain any interest earn
ings in excess of 2 per cent

side" the government, that' one
reason for this country deferring
a declaration of war with Aus
tria, was the fact that so many
unnaturalized Austrians in the
munitions factories that such a
declaration would have demoral
ized or destroyed the munitions
supply and the government did
not dare to take the step.
Responsibility is Equal.
All these conditions, thespeaker
explained, were directly the prod
uct of undeveloped social re
sources, unrecognized community
obligations and privileges. Better
health, better nourishment, better
education, better patriotism, bet
ter ideals, all wait upon the com
munity development, in which ev
ery citizen has a vital part. To
bring in an industry, implies the
obligation to make Hie industrial
workers good Americans through
fair wages, good social conditions,
everything that makes them bet
ter citizens. The 50-50 respon
sibility of the community, with
that of the employer; is so often
ignored by the communities and
that is one of the great troubles
in America today, this tardy as
sumption of the obligations to
serve the whole public.
Duty Is Dodged
"All of us have dodged our rej
sponsibility, have passed the buck
to officers, to legislators, to con
gress. where the only solution for
a better condition is to recognize
our personal and community obli
gations, and start in to make our
own localities what they should
be." said the speaker. "The one
best working tool for community
betterment is the chamber of com
merce, which is rightfully th
meeting place and the right hand
and the guiding snirit of the whole
community betterment plan."
Properly organized to include far
mers, merchants, everybody with
in its reach, it is the one central
spirit from which can and should
come every kind of progress."

Brilliant Idea
LA GRANDE, Or. July 20.
Duncan McDonald. Sandridge far
mer, had a bright idea today. He
wanted to ride a mountain range
many miles fr6m home. To travel
the distance by saddle meant a
less of time to a busy farmer and
a niuch fatigued mount before
the hard mountain trip really be
gan. His idae consisted in load
ing his saddle horse into an auto
mobile truck he had on the place.
driving 13 miles to Hilgard.
where he unloaded the horse,
saddlod it. left his machine and
hit into the timber with a fresh
horse ami much valuable time to
the credit side of the ledger.
MANY WEEK-END
FARES ARE SOLD
(Continued from page-1.)
a single fare, and $2 for the
week-end round trip.
It is understood that some cur
tailment in the aato service be
tween here and Portland has al
ready begun, probably by the
smaller lines. No change in the
Southern Pacific travel rates ha3
been announced or suggested. It
is assumed that since the local
competitive business is small as
compared with the volume of
through business that has no com
petition, the company will not
seek any local reduction that
would cut the through rates. It
might be possible, however, to
ask for a local concession where
there Is competition, as is done in
meeting ship competition along
the seaboard. Whether such a
competitive rate will be asked is
not known.
