In brief the president of the United States calls on tne nations' of the world to lighten the burdensome load of arm aments which is crushing their peoples. Savings estimated at from 10 to 15 billions are estimated would accrue from the application of his program. The features included are: Reduction by one-third of all land armies. Abolition of bombing planes, tanks, chemical warfare, and large mobile guns. Reduction of battleships and submarines by one-third; of aircraft carriers, cruisers and destroyers by one-rourtn. Such a Drocrram boldly announced at Geneva will heart en the friends of peace and give hope to those who believe that one cause of economic chaos is the frightful cost of mil itarism. The conference at Geneva has been falling to pieces.

HENDRICKS- Historic four corners: (Continuing from yesterday:) The eighth regular session of the territorial legislature was held in the Rector building, beginning on the first Monday ot December, 1851. James K. Kelly of Clack amas and Wasco was president ot the council and Is. F. Grover of Marion speaker of the house. The clerks of th council were Ahio 8. Watt, John Costello and T. McF. Patton, and of the lower house D. C. Dade, B. M. Bowman and J. Lsooney. Republican clubs were forming, the constitutional convention was in the offing, the bill for admission of Oregon as a state was before congress, the question of free soil or slavery was up, and of the repeal of the vira voce .vote law In short, warm issues were growing hot. Not much was done In the way of legislation, but much was talked. Joe Lane, delegate, had se cured the passage of a bill through the lower house of con gress authorising the people of Oregon1 to adopt a constitution and form a state government, and it was, having been amended, pending in the senate. Oregon was half admitted as a state. That was the last session In the Rector building. in the disaster last night, when 5000 striking union miners at tacked the Lester strip mine be lng operated under guard of im ported workers, may run past the 40 mark, it was said.

In this affiiction, the arteries lose their normal elastici ty and become brittle, due te certain changes in the artery walls. These blood vessels, often exiled "pipe lines." contain within their walls elastic tis sue, and muscn lar tissue. W h e n t h o heart beats, blood is forced inta the arteries. mi. tmm "asm w.mj.mmmtmrw U nAV1TW tain a constant flow of Mood, is made possible by the action of the elastic tissue, within the blood vessel walls. In arteriosclerosis the elasticity Is diminished or lost Instead of healthy muscular and elastic tis sue, the pipe lines are brittle and rigid, due te deposits of lime which cause the lining of the ar teries te become rough and irregu lar. When these changes occur, the pipe lines no longer assist in the circulation ef the blood. Instead, the hardened arteries serve te re tard the normal flow of bleed, and thus more work is throws upon the heart, causing am increase in the- blood pressure. Also, buruffl ciens bleed is carried te certain L parts ef the body, causing discom- zort ana pain. There are three types of arteri osclerosis, and the most common type is due te old are. It is well knows that as we grew elder our blood vessels undergo certain changes. Some degree of hard ening of the arteries Is present in most old people, and some persons grow old more quickly than others. Hardening of the arteries is now believed te depend on how we live, rather than now long we lire. Overstrain ef any sort, continued for s long time.

Arteriosclerosis may be due te te infection from certain infectious diseases, such as typhoid fever. rnumonia and tuberculosis ; and it believed by some authorities that focal infections found in diseased tonsils, infected teeth, sinuses, gall bladder or appendix, are factors la causing hardening of the arteries. in these eases it is believed that the trouble is caused by the libera tion ef poisons which result front) the miecuon.

Q What d mi --"-Tor M partieuto restoto advise to stop the habit af biting rr JJ ff aP: The constitutional convention niot In Salem Aug. 17, 1857, and held until Sept IS, adopt "ng the fundamental laws to be submit ted to a vote of the people of the territory. But Its sessions were In the old Marlon county court house. The constitution submitted was adopted by a ma jority vote- at an election held Nov. I. 1857. But the state was a long way yet from admission to the union. The territorial legislature con vened in Its ninth regular session on the first Monday In December, 1857, this time in the then new Holman building, still standing and in good repair, northwest corner Commercial and Ferry streets, the house on the third floor and the council on th sec ond. This was to be the legisla tive capitol for nearly 19 years. S S The 1857-8 legislature was un der the disadvantage of not knowing how to conform Its pro ceedings to the will of the gen eral government. The territory had become almost but not quite a state. Some of the members wanted to- regard their assembly a state body; thus making Oregon a state outside of the un ion. But after some miscellane ous business, and the election of territorial officers, the body ad journed December 19 to meet again Jan. 5. The president ot the council was Hugh D. O'Bry- ant of Umpqua county. George A. Edes, long prominent In Marlon county, was enrolling clerk. The speaker of the house was Ira F. M. Butler of Polk county. At the election of June. 1858. the various counties chose mem bers of two legislatures, territor ial and state. According to the constitution, the first legislature was required to meet on tbo first Monday In July, 1858. and elect two U. S. senators and make such other provisions as were neces sary to complete the organisation of a state government It so met July 5, and chose Joe Lane and Delaton Smith, and on the 8th the inauguration of Governor John Whlteaker took place. Judge R. P. Boise administering the oath. Whlteaker had been chosen governor at the June elec tion, and Is. F. Grover congressman. b " But weeks ot suspense went by. It began to be said that Dele gate Lane was purposely winking at delay in the admission bill in order to draw mileage as both delegate and senator. It was hinted, however, that it the sen ators elect should be on the ground at the convening of con gress In December there would be hope. It was determined to not hold the regular (second Monday In September) term ot the state legislature, which might bring nothing but debt A few mem bers came to Salem at th time appointed, but adjourned after an informal meeting. S It now became certain that there must be a 10th regular ses sion of the territorial legislature. to meet the lirt Monday in De cember, 1858, as the territorial government must go on during the suspension of the state gov ernment It accordingly assem bled, oa the fith. la the Holmaa building, and proceeded to th usual business. Charles Drain ot Una: (later of Douglas) was president ot this last council, and ; H. N. Gates of Wasco speaker.. It was s body made ap ot many ot the leaders ot Oregon, then and thereafter. There were 10 repub licans tn the territorial legisla ture, elected at the same time. This was a new element In Ore CHAPTER TEN DISTRICT Attorney Dougherty faced Colt in the middle of the room and laid two red hsnds on the chiefs shoulders. "For once you and I agree, That cher." he announced. "This is m or der f fV.1t nodded sombrely. "And I think Tve got the solu- tionl" added the District Attor oey in a husky whisper. -Which is " "Inside job those death threats killinr of a dog and parrot all that stuff get this room-mate wo man and give her the works!" "Ton mean Christine Quires killed Lola?" "Or knows who did!" "Motive, Dougherty t" "The dead girl knew too ranch bout jewel robberies." "But how was it done?" "I don't know how it was done! But no matter what kind of hocus pocus they used, we can find it give us time," proclaimed the Dis trict Attorney with an oracular wave of his mighty arm. "Youll see that the jewel ring is at the bottom of this!" There was a telephone beside the bed. Esesping from Dougherty's grasp, Colt lifted the receiver and called for his private number at Police Headquarters. Inspector Flynn, please," the Commissioner murmured into the transmitter, and then turning his Inminous eves on me, he added: "Tony, get Lieutenant Fallon. TT1 him what's happened. Have him cheek up on his men, to see if any of them heard anything un usual. Then report to m here in five minutes. And Tony I was at the door. "Fl-d out who is In charge of this apartment house no employe goes nome unui riu. "I understand, chief." As I hurried from the death chamber. I knew full well what was now happening down at Center Street Once the Commissioner's maaaar was received, action com menced. Instantly the Bureau of Criminal Information was notified that a woman named Lola Carewe had died suddenly and raysterious Iv: murder was suspected. All the facts Colt gave over the telephone war transmitted to this central bureau and thus made available. If and when necessary, to the entire fore. Meanwhile, a corps of spe cialists was being organized and dispatebed to the scene: detectives from the Berough Homicide Squad, with their official photographers and stenographers. With them would come the Medical Examiner or on ef bis assistants. Probably the Inspector commanding th par ticular detective division which in cluded Lola's apartment bous tn its boundaries, would also, appear. In company with tha Captain of the local precinct Knowing that these troops from the Homicide Squad would soon be la possession of th premises, I was also sure that Thatcher Colt would follow his usual custom of learning as much as possible be fore his reenf orcements arrived. It is sensible police practice in the conflict between authorities and witnesses to strike at th earliest possible moment In the shock that overcomes all except the most hard ened or the must insane of crim inals, just after a violent death. the barriers of deception are diffi cult to sustain. A murderer may prepare in advance the most con vincing story and yet immediately following the execution of his dsrk deed, find himself utterly unable to speak a syllable of his lying tale. I felt positive Colt would begin his Inquisition at once. The fact was, as I learned later, that Colt gave orders to Inspector Flynn to arrive half an hour late, so that he might have time to begin his inquiry. Closing the door behind me, crossed the wide expanse of the living-room floor. In one of the easy-chairs by the fireplace sat Doctor Hugh Baldwin, smoking a cigarette. His bag lay between his feet The physician's alert gase searched the fire and ashes, in quest of what only he could have re vealed. Standing between the win dows, his hands folded at his thighs, was Chung, his great and ugly f see a little to one side, th baldness of his enormous crown glesming under a suspended lamp. Neither man seemed to notice me as opened the front door and strode to the head of the iron staircase. There I encountered Lieutenant Fallon. 1 saw the doctor go In, was Fallon's greeting, "but the chief sent word that everything was ok and told me not to stir from here until I was relieved. What the deuce is happening in there? When I enlightened Fallon, the look of demoralized astonishment on that honest Irish face was be yond all art "By goshl It couldnt have been done by anybody getting into the room." he blurted. "Nobody eould get by me or these boys of mine. and there s no such thing as secret doorways in this joint There is something awful funny about all this, Mr. Abbot! Tell the chief IU report back to him in five min utes.' Down the iron staircase I raced. and through the dim corridor to the lift, thence down to the deserted lobby. I found that Lowell Court leigh, which was. actually the name of the sleepy elevator operator, was in sole charge of the premises un til morning. Here was a chane to do a little sleuthing on my own ac count. "Did you see Miss Quires go out tonight?" I asked, after relaying Colt's orders to him. "No, I come on at twelve o'clock but I seen her come inl" "You saw what?" The shocking impact of the ele vator boy's unexpected announce ment nearly made me gasp the words. Christine Quires had come homel When? Where was she now A hundred questions crowded to my tongue, clamoring for an an swer. But I had to pretend only casual interest in this astounding information. "You are positive yoa saw Miss Quires come in?" I repeated. TTeah I saw her come in.1 "About what time?" "Around fifteen minutes after twelve soon after the New Year whistles blew." Chris tin had com bom before we bad even reached th peat boos? But that was impossible! My heart was still in my mouth but I managed a composed counte nance, as I asked: "Alone?" "A guy brought her to th door and he wanted to come up, but she wouldn't let him. Said she didn't feel so good. So I took her up alone." v "Did she ssy anything to you oa ' the way up?" " , "No say, what do you think yoa are, a District Attorney or something?" No. ra only a policeman," i told him, with such dignity aa I could muster. He gave me a look and said: "Yeah? And I'm a congressman." "Tske me upstairs again," 1 told him after several more questions. "Maybe the Police Commissioner will want to talk to you tn a little while." ' "AH right m be glad to talk te him," he emphasized. Chung admitted me with a oeco- rous bow. 1 Dnrinr mv absence the spacious living-room had been taken over as a chamber of inquisition. As I had expected. Thatcher Colt was al ready started on his quest for the truth about the death of Lola Ca rewe. Doctor Baldwin had been ex iled to an ignoble solitude In the maid's room. The Police Comnas sloner and the District Attorney had closed off the living-room, ready for the examination of wit nesses, and having admitted me, Chung was sent to request the im- madiata nresence or Mrs. carewe. Meanwhile, Colt and Dougherty were listening to an indignant re port frpm Lieutenant Fallon. "Mr. Commissioner," the detec tive recited, "my men have been strictly on the job every minute of the time. The only person who entered this apartment was Doctor Baldwin." "Have you checked Here I burst in excitedly to ex plain what I had learned, ration stored at me as if I had told him a ghost story. Dougherty heaved an incredulous groan. "Bnt we have searched this place. room by room," said Colt "1 hsve oolced Into closets. 1 nave openea trunks and even peered into cedar chests." "I don't believe you can put toe much reliance on what an elevator boy says." Dougherty demurred. Here's an apartment full of people. None of them saw Christine anu you dont find trap doors or secret corridors in modern New York apartment houses." Ha oeered at ixnt as one wno down an unanswerable argument Sha mlarnt have come ana gone, before we ever reached here!" reasoned Colt aloud. "I dont emit see began Dourherty, but the Commissioner turned back abruptly to me: "Could the elevator boy flescno Christine's escort?" "The usual thing. Tall, evening clothes would fit the description of two million men fat New York City tonight" Colt's eves were lustrous wita the challenge of this extraordinary affair as he turned back to the detective. Now. Fallon, get on the job again. Keep your men at the doors, just as before. Ia spite of what has happened, we cant be sure the danger is over for Mrs. Carewe to night." "Okay, chief." As Fallon turned to 'go, there came a violent interruption. The door to Lola's boudoir was flung noisily open. Vincent Rowland, stiffly erect in all his five feet two inches, strode Imperiously Into th room. Flight was in th million aire's eyes. At sight of the old man, Colt rested a detaining hand oa Fallon's arm. (T Be CootiBaed Twui r Co-rrirfct 111. fer Orto-Fried. las. DUtribated by Baa Te Editorial Comment .
