to prohibition. Dr. Robert C. Mat

mluajoner, declared la an address
tonight at the National W.C.T.U,

H likened the personal liberty
argument against prohibition to a

Asked whether the message
came from ''he cardinal," mean

of Ireland, a priest who accom

Smoldering Sawdust Ignites
Deserted Mill, Lookout
Gives Alarm
LA C.r.AXDE, Or., Aug. 22.
Fire starting from a heap of saw
dust in which it had been smol
dering forv several days, caused
a loss of over $20,000 when a
million feet of lumber 'was de
stroyed at a mill fire at the La
Grande Box and Lumber com
pany's plant, in Ladd's canyon,
14 miles from La Grande.
The mill had closed down sev
eral day3 ago and the machinery
had just been moved out of th
mill building. A high wind
fanned the blaze, making it im
possible to save any of the lum
ber. Discovery of the fire was made
by the forest lookout on Mount
Emily, about 30 miles distant,
who telephoned to the company
fire warden here.
The loss is partially, covered
by insurance.
Search for Bodies of

MACON. Ga., Aug. 21. Searcti
of the ru:n3 of the Brown house

The work will be continued to

A coroner's jury, investigating

DISABLED PLAN
Four Vocational Universities
Program Announced By
Director Forbes
TO USE CANTONMENTS
East, Middle West, South
And Pacific Coast Will
Be Locations
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 Four
nited States vocation&l universi
ties one in the eastv the middle
west, the south and on the Pa
cific coast will be established in
abandoned army cantonments by
the veterans' bureau, under a new
policy for the rehabilitation of
former service men, was announc
ed tonight by Director Forbes.
The new policy, Colonel Forbes
said, was worked out with the
approval of President Harding to
correct "the system of farming
out vocational patients," and
properly rehabilitate the approxi
mately 94,000 men now being
trained.
Four, First Move.
Colonel Forbes said he would
leave within 10 days for an in
spection tour of advantageous
sites for the proposed universities
in the different . sections of the
country, but expected to announca
the location of the first institu
tion before his departure. Choice
of localities, he added, would be
made Upon' approvalof the pres
ident. Present 'plans, tie said, call for
the first university to start work
within 90 days- with about 2000
men in attendance. The numbers
enrolled at the training colleges,
he declared, would depend upon
the population of disabled service
men in the various sections,
courses will be offered in mason
ry, architecture, plumbing, print
ing, engraving, bookbinding, elec
trical work, carpentry and steam
fitting and such agriculturallines
as animal husbandry, darirying
and forestry.
No legislation will be necessary
for the inauguration of the new
policy of vocational training. Col.
Forbes asserted,,, nor will the cost
be greater than under the present
system decentralized instruc
tion. While the universities will
not be self-supporting, he added.
farm products can be raised to pro
vide partially for the subsistence
of the men.
"These universities," Colonel
Forbes said, "will properly house
the men, properly provide them
with the right kind of subsistence
and permit men with families to
have their families, at the univer
sities. Cottages wll be built to
care for them. They will be put
in training, which will be benifi
cial, not only to their health, but
to their mind as well, and upon
completion of their course, they
will be helpful.
Koonomieal Plan Outlined
"By utilizing" the sites of can
tonments which have been, or are
to be abandoned by the war de
partment, it will be possible to
salvage cinsiderable material and
actually rebuild each cantonment
into a vocational university and
practically erect a small, city in
itself."

Pendleton Officers Find Still
Near Crime Scene, Sus
pect Moonshiners
Pendleton. Ore., Aug. 22. A
still was found on Government
Mountain near here today by auth
orities investigating the killing of
Matt Jepson, whose multilated
body was discovered at the bottom
of a well on his place near the
mountain about two weeks ago.
Authorities are working on the
theory that Jepson was murdered
by moonshiners, who feared that
he had knowledge of their illegal
acts and the finding of the still is
considered an important clue.
No arrests have been made ex
cept that of Fred Patterson last
week, who is now being held here
as a suspect, but authorities indi
cated tonight that they had evi
dence to incriminate another man
whose name is withheld.
