bluntly denied' the assertion of
Richardson, made earlier In the
trial, that the matter of the short
age bad been the subject ot dis
cussion between the treasurer and
his deputy over a period of years.
- Drager testified that Richard
son posted all tit the county books,
except In late years when he him
self had kept certain school ac
counts, and denied that he haH
been told of the shortage by ma
deputy.
The former treasurer also in
sisted that whenever accommoda?
tion checks or salary advances
were made during his tenure in
the office, cash to cover the
smnnnt v as immediatelv replaced
in the till, i
Warren Richardson
Tells of Shortage
Warren Richardson, brother of
the defendant, who also testified,
told that in 1924, while serving
in his brother's place in the trea
surer's office, he discovered an
18000 shortage in the county's
fund balances, and brought the
matter to Drager's attention.
The county treasurer, he testi
fied, replied to him that he must
have left something out in his
reckonings.
William S. Walton and David
W.yre, both vice-presidents of
the United States National bank
of Portland, appeared as charae-
ter witnesses on the defendant's
behalf, and were Joined on stipu
lation by Bert T. Ford, local at
torney. A. C. Burk, Marion county sher
iff; Bert Smith, deputy; Roy
Breramer, prison employe; Paul
Marnach, dog license enforcement
officer and Walter S. Lamkin, for
mer deputy county .clerk, all re
counted instances in which errors
were made in payments at the
treasurer's office. Their testi-
mnnv was added to that of five
witnesses, all county employes,
who testified similarly on Thurs
day. Members of Grand
Jury Are Heard
Five members of the grand Jury
which Indicted Richardson . and
Drager appeared to testify that
the present defendant had alleged
before them that . he, Diager or
both together had taken the mon
ey, and that only a small portion
could be accounted for in book
keeping errors.
Defense Attorney Keech, in an
effort to rebut this .testimony, re
turned the defendant to the stand,
where the latter testified that his
statement before the grand Jury
had been conditional dependent
entirely on the assumption that
the money was actually gone.
Jury members, on cross exam
ination, failed to recall the condi
tional nature of .his original tes
timony. A stipulation wag added,before
adjournment to the effect that
Charles R. ArcherdV if present,
would testify that Richardson had
$885 invested in the Edwards
Mining company.
Sprague Condemns
Federal Infringing
PORTLAND, July 12-P)-The
encroachment of federal bureaus
on state rights has developed
into a "great evil," Governor
Charles A. Sprague asserted in an
Institute of Northwest Affairs de
bate. He charged the government
had infringed on local sovereign
ty by increasing its land owner
ship and by superceding the acts
of state legislatures. The states,
he added, have lost the freedom
to experiment and have not been
able to resist encroachment be
cause of the power of federal
purse strings.
Richard Neustadt, regional so
cial security director, replied that
centralization solved national
problems on a national basis. He
remarked that the government
had met unemployment and other
social Issues where the states had
failed.

The election of Dr. Baxter as

sity,! a loss not to be minimized.
However, it is a great gals to the
church In the northwestern states
of Idaho, Washington and Oregon.
And Willamette will not have en
tirely lost f him for in his new
relationship he will he able to ex
ert an even wider influence for
the, school -which he has served so
loyally and well.
. "Willamette university, must
now look for a new president.' But
we have the entire United States
as a field In which to look for a
successor. The . Portland . area, of
the Methodist church, through a
combination of unprecedented cir
cumstances, was .limited ' in its
choice to one of four or five men.
Among this small group, Bruce
Baxter loomed up so logically that
some of us have seen his election
as a foregone conclusion for many
months.
"He will tm belong belong to
Oregon, to Salem and to Willamette-
with a minimum of eight
years of outstanding leadership
in the northwest, with headquar

All Grew Rescued
In Freighter Fire
130-IiIe Trip to Oregon
Shore' Made; One JIan
Seriously Burned .
ASTORIA, Ore,, July 12-flEV
The story, of the destruction of
the 1540-ton lumber-laden Greek
steamer Hellenic Skipper 130
miles southwest of Aberdeen,
Wash., Wednesday morning was
told by 21 survivors .who "braved
rolling seas on a lifeboat to reach
here today,.
No lives were lost. '
First Mate Arls Catselides said
fire of mysterious origin broke
out at 8 a. m. as the Honolulu
bound freighter ploughed through
heavy seas out of . Aberdeen. It
spread quickly from the stoker
room and in a few minutes en
veloped the entire, ship.
The crew put off in a lifeboat
and made its way through deep
fog and high waves, without a
compass to near the Oregon coast.
The boat was sighted by a troller,
taken in tow and brought to the
Columbia river bar. Here a US
coast guard motor lifeboat took
over and brought the survivors,
one of them badly burned, to
Astoria.
Catselides said he attempted to
send out an SOS as soon as the
tire was discovered, but found
that It had reached the dynamo
and put the radio out ot com
mission. -
"In a- few minutes the crew
was rushing about the decks.
screaming and crazy with fear,"
Catselides said.
Capt. Panis Danalis, the mate
said, immediately gave the order
to abandon ship.
"In the mad scramble to get
in the lifeboat, I ran across the
form of A. Merrtzanis, the second
engineer, who was badly burned,"
Cascades continued. He was
lying on deck."
The. engineer was hoisted into
the lifeboat, and the crew pushed
away from the burning vessel.
"Then we saw two sailors who
still were aboard," he continued..
'They were screaming to be pick
ed up." , .
Although the men in. the boat
feared the ship's boilers might
explode, momentarily, they, put
back and took off the two sail
ors. I
"The ship blew up 20 minutes
after we pulled away," the mate
saidn
Then followed a struggle witn
the elements; There were biscuits,
water and other food aboard the
lifeboat, but no compass. The
mate said: they proceeded in the
direction they thought would
bring the survivors to land.

Qme Denied
Alienist's Report Declares
CSondemned Blan Sane,
Always Has Been
Governor Charles A. Sprague
will not interfere in the execution '
of Claude E. Cilne, 46-year-old
Fossil prospector, who Is under
sentence to die in the penitentiary
lethal gas chamber July 26, he
announced Friday.
Cline was convicted of slaying
George W. Chetty, 38, his mining
partner. He previously said he
would not appeal to the state su
preme court.
Governor Sprague has sent a
letter to Arthur A. Tarlow, Port
land, Cline's attorney, informing
him of "his decision.' The .governor
said he based his decision on the
findings of Dr. John C. Evans,
superintendent of the Oregon state
hospital, who held that Cline is
and always has been sane.
"I found nothing la Dr. Evans'
report which would Justify the ex
ercise of : executive authority to
alter the sentence imposed by the
court in this case," Governor
Sprague wrote Tarlow.
Governor Sprague added that a
decision of this kind was not
pleasant to make.
. Dr. Evans advised Governors
Sprague that Cline is sane at the
present time and there was noth
ing in the history of the case to
indicate that he has been frankly
insane at any time during his life.
Cline is now in an isolation cell
at the state penitentiary.! .
