COURT
EFFORT TO GET
SAfJTIAM ROUTE
District Forester Advises
Matter be put Before
Highway Board
Marion County Willing to
Do its Share, Stated'
At Conference
Dek.:ou to make an appeal to
the Jslghway commission for
matching ef fundi to construct 11
miles of highway between Detroit
and Whitewater, was made by the
county court Thursday following
a conference with Dlstr'-t Forester
cTJ. Puck.
Buck explained to the court
that all forest highway funds
must be allocated on a joint agree
ment with the state highway com
mission. "Put up to the commis
sion your beat proposition and tell
what you can do in the way of co
operation and urge sympathy for
your cause at the November meet
ing when funds are allocated,"
counselled Buck.
The court Indicated It would be
willing to defray $100,000 of the
$200,000 thought necessary to ex
tend the Marlon county road from
Detroit to the Linn county line
at Whitewater. Construction of
this road will take two years it
was estimated, and the court will
ask the highway commission from
the federal highway funds, to
make such construction possible.
Asks Attitude
Of Forest Service
"if we go before the highway
commission what attitude will for
est officials take toward the mat
ter?" asked J. N. Chambers, pres
ident of the chamber of commerce,
who attended the meeting in com
pany with C. E. Wilson, manager
of the chamber.
Buck answered that he wouid
make no promise, but that he con
siders the North Bantlam route a
Tery Important road to the forest
service. He indicated, also that the
federal forest aerTic considers
the route the nearest approach to
an all-year road over the moun
tains that has been presented.
Buck announced that it is like
ly that a 21-mile stretch of coun
try between Whitewater south to
the junction of the south route of
the Santiam highway, would be
traversed by next fall by a forest
development road. While this Is
only eight to ten feet in width
Buck said It would be possible to
drive a car over the entire route.
The purpose of this construction,
h-e said, was largely for forest pro
tection but he indicated the road
might readily be the basis for a
federal government or state high
way of 18 to 20 feet width the
entire way.
McXary Believes
Outlook Favorable
In addition to the court. Senator
Charles McNary, County Engineer
Swart, and Roadmaster Johnson
attended the session.
The senator was asked to speak
for the federal government as re
gards its attitude if the Marion
county road was extended to the
Linn county line. Since the 21 mile
stretch to the Junction with the
South Santiam route lies in Linn
county, the Marlon county court
would hesitate to extend 11 miles
for road from Detroit east with
out assurance that It could eventu-

Mooney Plant Bomb
That Killed ten
BERKELEY, Cal., Oct. 16
(AP) Death has sealed the lips
of another "mystery witness" by
a margin of 24 hours preventing
the state supreme court from
hearing his story that he saw
Thomas J. Mooney and Warren K.
Billing place the bomb which
killed ten persons and maimed 40
others in the San Francisco pre
paredness day disaster of 1916.
The dead witness was Andrew
C. Jacobson, pioneer Berkeley re
sident. Member of the supreme
court learned of his existence and
of his purported story as he lay,
unknown to them, on his death
bed.
When Justice Jesse W. Cur
tis came to Berkeley to arrange
for an Interview with Jacobson he
learned the man had died the day
before.
Jacobson, fearing he would
share the fate of the bomb victims
If he talked, confided his story
of having seen the bomb placed,
to only one man. The man was
Will F. Morrish, Berkeley and
San Francisco bank official and
former chairman of the state prl- j
son board.
Told Story to
Only one man
Morrish said Jacobson ap
proached him 14 years ago, pledg
ed him to secrecy, and then told
of seeing Mooney and Billings
place the bomb at Steuart and
Market streets.
Jacobson said he was positive
of his Identification.
Jacobson's story, revealed to
day by Morrish and confirmed by
FrlencJ W. Richardson, former
governor, was that he ran after
the two men who dropped the
suitcase at the corner, but lost
them in the thick crowd. -
A moment later the suitcase ex
ploded.

he packed it three miles back to

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 16
(AP) Llndolfo Collor, represen
tative here of the Brazilian revol
utionaries, told the Associated
Press in an interview tonight that
the United States "had broken Its
neutrality in Brazilian affairs."
Sr. Collar was discussing the
statement made by Secretary
Stlmson in Washington yesterday
to the effect the United States
would permit the purchase of mu
nitions in that country by the
Brazilian federal government a
statement which was interpreted
as meaning the rebels could not
buy such supplies.
"This Is the first time In Bra
zilian republican history," Sr. Col

the United States sends munitions

will understand that this is

The rebel representative pre

serting that after eleven days the
greater part of the vast country
was In the hands of the revolu
tionaries. He also denied the movement
had any connection with bolshe

an independent state in southern
Brazil, saying it was desired only
to restore morality in administra

arranged thereafter.

was the sentence impojed
upon Dale Lawson, 15 year
old boy, in circuit court her
this afternoon following- his
surprise plea of guilty to the
charge of second degree
murder before Judge Arlie
G. Walker. He will be taken
to the state penitentiary to
morrow. Lawson waived all prelim
inaries and the sentence,
which is mandatory under
the law, was handed down
immediately.
It had been indicated that
Lawson would fight the case, ei
ther attempting to repudiate his
confession or to secure sufficient
sympathy from a jury to reduce
the verdict to one of manslaugh
ter. He had retained John Col
lier of Portland as counsel, had
pleaded not guilty and the oae
had been set for October 20.
The crime for which Lawson
is sentenced to spend the re
mainder of his life a prisoner,
was the killing of Mrs. France
Harriett Dickinson, April 30 at
her home south of Independence
where he had been living.
Accident Version
At First Believed
As officers reconstructed the
crime, Lawson entered the front
door of the Dickinson home and
fired a shotgun through the

hallway, the charge striking
