V
round of discussion of the recent
charges of Rear Admiral Magrud
er against what he described as
waste and inefficiency on admin
istration of naval affairs.
Representative McCllntlc, of
Oklahoma, a democrat on the nav
al committee,' presented from the
floor a resolution proposing crea-
"n of a special committee to In
'Jstigate MagrudeVa case. H e
said Magruder had charged that
Kon9 ut of erery three dollars
i Vspent by the navy was wasted and
- i.ui. h. mis Biatemeni were true,
' the navy squandered about 1100,
000.000 annuaUy. ; is
The resolution was prefaced by
a declaration that because of pub
lication of Magruder'fl charges'the
secretary of the navy, had remov
ed him from his post as eommand-
ent of the Philadelphia narr yard.
v "The precedent has been estab
lished," the resolution added,
"that any officer giving out in
formation, whether true or other
wise, will be reprimanded, court
martialed, shelved or dismissed
irom the service .
- The. mystery of the disappear
ance of Jordan Saavain, 24, of Mt.
Angel, has been deepened rather
than cleared up by the discovery
otSauvain's dog, dead, in the Mol
lala river 22 miles down stream
from the . place where the youth
was last known to have been.
Such is the conclusion reached
by Marion county officials after
a reopening of the case follow
ing discovery of the dog's carcass
Sunday afternoon. The animal
was identified as the one In ques
tion by an old bullet mark in its
neck. It had been killed by a shot
from a gun following by a severe
clubbing, according to indications
gathered from other marks about
the animal, .
Any number of conjectures
might be indulged In by those
working on the case authorities de
clare, but each Is without definite
proof and the actual facts In the
case-probably never will be fer
reted out, even assuming that
they are known to someone who
is holding back the information
Why were a club and a gun
both used to kill the dog? Some
point out' that this may point to
the probability that whoever did
the deed was , afraid ; of being
heard. One shot perhaps was nec
essary, the animal not .coming
within reach readily or the slay
er being afraid of the dog's teeth
It is believed that Sauvaln him
self must have been put out of the
way first, either purposely or ac
cidentally. This would furnish
an obvious motive for killing the
dog, which might otherwise return
to civilization ' and - subsequently
lead a party to the scene of the
crime, or make the situation diffi
cult for the man's slayer in some
other way.
Sauvaln was last seen, so far as
known, on October 9, when he JaXt
his camp mate, Harry Wavra, with
whom he was on a camping trip'
near the headquarters of the Mol
lala river.' " - r ' i.v'

EUREKA, Kas., Dec 9. (AP)
A defense of "communicative in
sanity" was introduced today in
the trial ot Evan M. Hart, Eureka
banker, on trial for killing his
bride of three weeks. Mabel Mar
mpnt Hart, by cutting her throat
with a knife.
' Hart testified yesterday that his
bride pleaded with him to kill her
because of her fear of motherhood
and that he was unable to refuse
her request. That Hart was tem
porarily insane at the time and
that he derived his insanity from
close association with his wife,
was the testimony I of defense
which contended that Mrs. Hart
was mentally abnormal.
Dr. Karl -Menninger of Topeka,
Kans., specialist in nervous and
mental diseases, testified that,
communicative insanity is a real
ity and that, In his : opinion, the
killing of Mrs. Hart was a result
of it. Its occurrence is "very in
frequent," he said, but there are
records of numerous cases.
To become afflicted with com
municative insanity, he said, the
relationship between two persons
must be very intimate, so much so
that one means more to the other
than anybody else In the world.
They adopt the same likes and dis
likes, he added, and occasionally,
when one becomes abnormaf, the
other's mind is affected in a sim
ilar manner.
Mrs. Hart's communicative In
sanity worked on her husband's
judgment, - emotions ; and will
powet'tintir he was unable to re
sist -her suggestions, and at the
timo the' killing. Haft "did "not

Orders Handed Out to Forbid Any

Kind Today
BUCHAREST, Rumania, Dec. 9.
(AP) Alarmed by the possibll
lty of, fresh anti-semitic outbreaks
throughout Rumania, the cabinet
in collaboration with military au
thorities today forbade student
meetings of any kind tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the fifth anniversary
of the student movement for ap
plication of the so-called numerus
clausus which limits the activities
of minorities in all forms of pub
lic life.
The government is thoroughly
aroused over unfortunate acts of
violence committed by gentile stu
dents against Hebrews at Oradea
Mare, Clu j and other towns 'with
large Semitic populations. Already
it has made scores of arrests of
ringleaders, whom it promises to
punish to the limit. $
All military - commanders have
been Instructed to prevent a re
currence of disorders In Transyl
vania, which are estimated to have
caused nearly $1,000,000 damage.
To forestall false or sensational
reports abroad about Rumania's
internal situation the government
continues to allow foreign dis
patches to go uncensored, but
maintains strict surveillance over
local newspapers which appear
daily with great gaping white
