The col ors range through fshodes of yel low and orange, pinks, reds, from crimson to maroon, some solid colors, others marked withfdiffer ent colorings or shadings! One bloom is a perfectly pure yellow of an especially beautiful : shade, neither orange or canary, but be tween. The pure white blossoms are of good size and perfect in Shape. - . j,'.'"'-; j ;.rrr- Mrs. Wolfe has j grown dahlias for the past 30 or 40 years or as long as she can remember and has been raising seedlings from seed saved by herself from named varieties for about! 19 years.

IS MURDERED (Con tinned from pace I) ' a manhunt for Oregon murderers, this time to secure the apprehen sion of three men, one of them an ex-convict of the Oregon state prison, who are believed to have day evening, giving Mr. and Mrs.ibeen responsible for the ibrutal Anrland 1 ! rr hahnv stirnrisft. j j im. muruer luesuay uigui ui yuuiuu Aurland a very happy surprise. They are on the last portion of a trip which has taken them through Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Washington, D. C, Minnesota, In diana, Iowa. Nebraska, Idaho, Wyoming, j with a short stop in Seattle, and down through Olym pia to Falls City in one day's drive. , The trip has occupied three months, and so far they have cov ered 12,500 miles, enjoying every bit of the time, the trip through Yellowstone park being especially enjoyable, j . ,y - . In all their travels they found the people cheerful, with good crops everywhere. Many people said they had been to the Pacific coast and a great many of these . said' they were coming back. Mrs Reed said that of all the country they had seen. Washington and Oregon looked the best to her, and the Willamette valley pleased es peclally. This was their first.vlsit to Falls City, and while they could 'make but a short stay, enjoyed every minute of It. 1 Mrs. Reed's mother, Mrs. Hin dahl. spent about two months here in Falls City 14 years ago, the guest of, Mr. and Mrs. Aurland. M r. and Mrs. Reed had with them on the trip east Mr. and Mrs Jamison from Long Beach, who shared their journey as far a$ Minnesota, where they all enjoyed fishing in the lakes, having great sport in Otter Tail lake, pickerel, pike and bass being real game fish. They had one night at Horseshoe lake, with tine fishing. Mr. and! Mrs. Aurland accom 'pan led their guests to Rickreall Tuesday morning, where they " spent a few" hours with the Demp- seys. The trip on to Long Beach will be made as rapidly as pos sible, as Mr, Reed is engaged in : the construction business there and could spare no more time this " summer for pleasuring. Will Coin Again f Sheriff Tom Hooker and Prosd . cutlng Attorney Joe Helgerson made a trip; to Falls City last Fri day,, when they made a raid on . Baun, 34-year-old taxi driver of Independence and j member bf the firm of Baun Bros. Livery of that city. Baun was found dead at a lonely spot ten miles south of In dependence on the Independence- Albany road about 10' o'clock Tuesday night, less than at hour after be bad left his home for the intended purpose of taking W. R. T.lovd. ex-convlct. and two un identified companions, to Albany No word of the murder was re ceived In Salem j until 4 o'clock Wednesday morning, when the city police and the sheriff were notified. " ) Search for the j three men cen ters about The Dalles where at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon Baun's abandoned Ford touring car was found by deputy sheriffs of Wasco county.! The engine of the car when found was still warm and it was believed last night that police were closejon the frail of the fleeing men. Intent to commit robber Is the explanation held to be most prob able by Sheriff Tom B. Hooker of Polk county. Oh three pi-evious occasions Lloyd, believed tojbe the leader of the trio, hired! Irwin Baun, elder brother of the dead driver, for short "trips ito - the country ostensibly in search of employment, and it was Irwin that the men wished! for ' their j driver Tuesday night. The elder broth er was -in the habit of carrying several hundred dollars upon his person and it is believed that this money was the object of the later attack. " ' " " :. 'Early In the evening Ll6yd ar ranged with - Irwin- Baun for the trip to Albany but after that time, Irwin, who complained ; of Illness, persuaded his brother to substitute for, him. Before the arrangement was agreed upon the brothers bad an argument as to whether the younger of the two would substi tute for his brother but assent to the plan was ' finally given by Clinton. He left Independence with the trio at t:15 o'clock. That the three men did not dis cover that the change in drivers had been made or that they pre sumed that Clinton might also carry money on his person, is held by police to be the most logical explanation bT the tragedy. - btuu B puuj aos luuuu IJ iu( aw the' side of the road .with tne feet protruding' into the roadway by Sheriff Frank Richards of Al bany, who, with O. H. Hoy of the same' city had been visiting at: a hop yard near Independence. The crime was discovered about 10 o'clock, supposedly about 15 min utes after the body bad been thrown onto the road. Baffling evidence which refutes the robbery" theory was found in the fact that Clinton still bad upon his person . when bis body was discovered a wallet containing 112.30 in cash and his watch. One of his pants pockets had been turned inside out, but as far as is known none of his property was taken. . - -. . A second theory under examina tion by authorities is that Baun was killed because be refused to carry booze in .his car at the de mand of the trio. The three men are known to have been in' In dependence, apparently without any means of livelihood, for at least a week,' and to have made three trips to nearby hop yards where it . is possible thay might have been serving liquor custom ers. V Baun was first slugged with a heavy dull instrument that frac tured the back fo the skull and which ' presumably struck him from the rear while be was driv ing. . He bad also been shot three times with a .38 caliber revolver loaded with steel jacket bullets One of the shots grazed his breast, a second entered his back on the left side and left the body near the right breast, while the third entered from near the same point and lodged against the right shoulder blade. The second bullet was found in his clothing. . No clue to the Identity of the two companions of Lloyd had been uncovered last night. The three were first seen together in Inde pendence, last Thursday-. They were again seen together last Monday when an Independence business man observed them eat ing together In a restaurant. ' Fate dealt a hard hand to the plans of the trio. The first Im position of misfortune came in the fact that Sheriff Richards followed the men In their flight down th6 lonely road probably less than fif teen minutes behind. Authorities' believe that the three deliberately chose the neglected spot to bide the' body and were probably halted in their plans by the sight of the lights from Richards' car which would have been .visible for more than a mile on the higher road. The road runs through a swamp which would have provided an ex cellent hiding place for the fatal evidence. I Misfortune interposed for the second time Wednesday 'morning when the direction of escape taken by the men was ascertained by discovery of the car in The Dalles Police officers both to the north and south were notified Tuesday night, but it was generally accept ed that the three were beaded south. Yesterday news of the murder was broadcast by radio from Portland and it was through this channel that authorities -at EilSREMMS' mil BUI TBI Statements on 'Daugherty Investigation Declared Made Under Duress ATLANTA. Ga.. Sept. 2. (By Associated Press). After being released from, the Atlanta federal penitentiary today, George Remus, wealthy Cincinnati bootleg pris oner, issued a statement in which he declared false bis repudiation of testimony - before the senate Daugherty. investigation commit tee last year. ; Remus was rearrested immedi ately upon his release bere and late In the day the party lert for Dayton, Ohio, where the prisoner will institute habeas corpus pro ceedings for bis freedom on the ground that another sentence im posed on "Mm at the time he was sent to Atlanta was to be con current. ' in nis statement, wnich was given voluntarily, he said he had! denied , his testimony before the committee Investigating Attorney General Daugherty , while under duress, an d a f ter "many prom ises" had been made to bim. His repudiation became public on August 29, 1924. He had tes tified before the committee several moaths previously. , After . mak ing his declaration to the press today, Remus wrote . and sighed the following: -t"The repudiation as made by m'e in reference to the testimony before the Wheeler committee as td the payment of monies to Jess Smith; to Wit, $250,000 to $300, 000 made in an affidavit given to The DaBes learned the number of the missing machine. A search was instigated there and in less than ten; minutes the car was found, still warm from recent driving. , . . i , . ' Possible light ' on where the' crime was committed was shed this morning by the report of Mrs. J. A. Lucas whose residence Is about 300 yards south of where the body was found and who de clared that she heard three shots and shortly after beard a car speeding -south on the road. Hop pickers in the Sam B. Irvine yard also reported having beard the shots and having seen the Ford touring car headed south at a high rate of speed. Lloyd is an ex-convict of the Oregon state penitentiary, having served time from October 261 1921, to April 26, 1923, for forg ery committed in Lane county. He . - ... . was reieasea at tne expiration .01 his minimum term. Records at the prison show that he was 22 years old at the time he was re ceived. His parents are said to reside in Cottage Grove., Baun is survived by his widow, Hilda; two brothers, Irwin .and George, a farmer lhing near Man mouth; and three sisters who re side in the east. Baun served with the A. E. F. and was a mem ber of the Independence post of the American legion. He had been resident of Independence for about 9 years. 'Funeral services will be held at the Keeney Under taking Parlors in Independence today. ; James 27. Linton, was-not based Upon any facts and James N. Lin ton knew that when I made such a statement It was not "the truth. "He was guest of Warden Sartain for a period of a week before I signed same. I signed one and gave same to Blair Coan. setting forth that I paid some one in Washington $250,000 to $300.- 000 and did not mention name of party the three weeks before. Then they sent James N. Linton to have me deny in toto, making many promises before I siened same.", Remus 1 described Coan as "Daugherty's right hand man."! Linton is an Ohio lawyer and was attorney for A. E. SartaTn this year when the latter was convict ed of accepting bribes from wealthy prisoners at the peniten tiary.! j ! In bis testimony before the sen ate committee, Remus declared that he had often met .Jess Smith, now deceased, but then a friend of Daugherty. and had given him thousands of dollars , in order to get liquor permits to .continue his (Remus) bootlegging, without in terference from the department of justice and to escape serving sen fences on. charges pending against him. I ! His repudiation stated be had never met Daugherty or Smith While serving bis term for con spiracy to violate the prohibition law, Remus said in this repudla tion he was visited by Harry Stern, a lawyer of the committee, who Informed him the committee would "throw themselves behind" him and) would get. me. out of here as soon as possible. Remus further asserted then that Stern told him' the commit tee was ;"out" to get Daugherty and that it was common knowK edge in Washington that the Cin cinnati man bad paid some one in Washington between $230,900 and $300,000. "Stern said he wanted roe to make 'a statement that .would di rectly, implicate Harry M. Daugh erty as ; United States attorney general in graft money," he con tinued in the August repudiation.'
