representative of President Wilson In
Mexico, for transmission to Wash

ably Monday r Tuesday,

Mexican problem without foreign

the constitutionalists In a better po

Informed that a reply to the note
was being formulated by the constitu

stated that the tono of the reply
would be appreciative, friendly tfnd
serene.

General Carranza, It was learned
Intends to Interpret the note as a tacit
hint that he Is the man best fitted to
assume ascendency In Mexico and
most likely to receive recognition once
the constitutionalists return to Mexi
co City. It Is understood that the
reply will point out a steady progress
hy the constitutionalists, Indicating an
early victory over Villa. Also Gener
al Carranza will point out that Amer
ican recognition would greatly expe
dite peace In Mexico.
Mr. Sllllmnn received word from

Blame for the attack on the Guif

BERLIN, June ;. The allies htve
failed in their efforts to Induce Rou
mania to enter the war. Although
pressure was brought to bear upon
Russia by England and France and
finally Italy, the czar flatly refused
to cede to Roumania the territory de
manded in return for participation In
the war on the side of the allies, ac
cording to private advices here.
Roumania Is reported to have end
ed all negotuu-"S. Russian Bessar
abia was demanded by the Bucharest
government, but all efforts of the al
lies to arrange terms fur the trans
fer of any territory are declared to
have failed.
The portrait of many a distinguish
ed man shows up In the newspapers
with full details of what cured him
of his otherwise fa,tal ailments.
Book Circulation
From Library Has
Increased Greatly
GAIN or 158 PER CENT OVER MAY
OF LAST YEAR IS SHOWN
BY REPORT.
In a report submitted by the librari
an to the members of the library
board at the meeting on Thursday, a
sain of IDS per cent jn the circula
tion of books in May was shown over
that of a year ago for the similar
month.
In May, 1914, there were 1259 books
read in Pendleton while this year
iiia were read. In the Countv
Branch Libraries last May 261 books
were read, the first branches having
Just been started. This month of
May j s( books were read in the
county branches making a total of
i90s volues in Pendleton and county.
It is Interesting to note that 25,350

branch libraries during the last six
months as compared with 10,435 dur
ing the same months of the previous
year before the county system was
under way.
New books on child welfare and
modern methods in the education of
children have been placed on the
shelves. These books offer material
for club programs and for parent
teachers meetings.
Story Hour Planned.
The parent-teachers association of
the Hawthorne school Is hoping to
make arrangements to have a play
ground day at the school each week
during the summer vacation, and has
asked to have one of the librarians
tell stories to the children at that
time. The library contribution to the
Playground movement will therefore
be a story hour conducted by Miss
Miriam Delano of the library' staff. I
As there Is no room In the present
library quarters to hold a chlldrensl
story hour, this opportunity to encour-j
age tne rending or Children during the
summer will be especially welcome.

AGED FARMER SUCCUMBS TO BULLET
CONTINUES TO 1NTAIH INNOCENCE
Bodies of California Gulch Couple are Brought
Here Where Autopsy isPerformed-Statement
Written by Charles Ogilvie Shortly After Be
ing Fatally Wounded Accuses Lee Dale of the
Double Murder-Young Wifeof Alleged Slayer
Makes Pathetic Figure as She Learns Her
Husband is Accused of the Crime.
Succumbing to the bullet wound In
fiicted by the revolver of Lee Dale
Thursday evening, Charles Ogilvie.
aged California Gulch farmer, died
yesterday evening at Pilot Rock two
hour after an operation had been
Performed upon him. His body and
the body of his wife who, too, wa a
victim of Dale's drunken mania, were
brought Into the morgue of Coroner
Brown and this morning an autopsy
was performed by Drs. Parker and
Hattery.
The operation developed the fact
that the aged man had no chance to
survive. The wound had gone so long
unattended that gangrene had set in.
The intenstines had been perforated
and one section had to be taken out.
Mr. Ogilvie never regained conscious
ness before he died.
The post-mortem examinalon was
made at the request of District At
torney Steiwer. It was found that the
bullet had entered Mrs. Ogilvie's left
breast just under the arm and, rang
ing downward and across the body,
had passed through the tip of the
heart and lodged on the right side of
the body. The bullet was taken out
and will be held as evidence. It has
not yet been compared with the emptj
cartridges.
The bullet has not yet been located
in the body of Mr. Ogilvie. It did not
enter as low down as first reports had
it. It entered the body on the right
side at the twelfth rib, punctured the
intestines in several places and passed
through the liver. Its final location
was not found.
! Dale Maintains Innocence.
I Dale today still maintains he knows
nothing of the shooting beyond what
he has been told. This morning he
, was sober but was still badly shaken
by the combined effects of his de
bauch and the terrible charge against'
him. When Sheriff Taylor told him
of the written statement which thej
aged farmer left, his only remark
was, "Don't you think the old man!
might have had it in for me because
of the trouble we have had and laid
the blame on me?"
There had been more or less trou
ble between the accused murdered and
the two old people. It is said to have
been principally over money matters
and over the use of the range land
although people in the vicinity of Pi-1
lot Rock declare there had also been
words between them over the atten-j
tions paid by Dale to a daughter of
the Ogilvles. It is thought probable!
the fatal quarrel arose over one of,
these past difficulties. Another the-j
ory of the cause of the shooting has
also been advanced.
Dale had ridden into Pendleton sev-j
eral days ago and while here sold his,
sadle horse for J72, so he claims j
Through a misadventure with a worn-1
an he claimed to have been robbed of
nearly all of the money and had be-!
come so wrought up over the loss and!
the lack of any legitimate excuse to
make to his wife that he had gone:
to the district attorney In an effort1
to recover the money. He began
drinking here and continued it In Pi-!
lot Rock on the afternoon of Thurs
day. He purchased a bottle of liquoi
at the Pilot Kock saloon before leav
ing for home.
On the way he stopped at the
Knottg farm and borrowed a saddle
horse which he rode to the Ogilvie
ranch. On the way he met Jhmes
Stubblefield, who discovered the dead
body of Mrs. Ogilvie the next morn
ing, stubblefield was then going to
his home to spend the evening.
Some hold the theory that Dale
had stopped at the Ogilvie ranch to
ask for some money so that he would

It la believed that Dale' .ubsequent
action which resulted In hi being
arrested In his own house a mile and
a half from the Ogilvie ranch, were
determined by his belief that he had
Killed both the old people, Mr. Ogil
vie having fallen beside his wife
when shot.
With both dead he might have ar
gued that there would be nothing to
direct suspicion against him in case
he went home and spent the night.
Had he anticipated that the murder
would be charged against him dire-1-ly.
it is believed he would have prob
ably taken to the timber with his rifle

SHERIFF
ESTIGATE DALE
SUSPICIONS AROUSED EVEN BE
FORE ANYTHING KNOWN
OF DOUBLE MURDER.
Even before anything was known
of the double murder ot California,
Gulch beyond the fact that Mrs
Ogilvie had been found dead, and be
fore any other report had been
brought out, the suspicions of District
Attorney Steiwer were directed to
ward Lee Dale. When Sheriff Tay
lor, en route t0 the scene ot the
crime, stopped at Pilot Rock an'l
called up the district attorney to ap
prise him of the first reports, Mr.
Steiwer advised the sheriff to Inves
tigate the actions of Lee Dale.
The surmise of the district attorney
was not made at random. He had
talked with Dale several times in
Pendleton a day or two before the
crime, knew that he had left town
in a drunken, sullen condition, and
knew that he lived near the Ogiivie
ranch.
Dale came to Pendleton before tha
Barnes circus a week ago yenterda
and had been staying at a local lodg
ing house. He sold his horse and g"t
372 for it. Of this amount he claims
he was robbed through a clever
scheme. A woman in the lodging
house asked him to loan it to her for
bail over night, he told the district
attorney afterwards, ami then, when
he asked for It back, told him she
had spent It.
He carried hla story to District At
torney Steiwer who made an Investi
gation. The woman strenuously de
nied the transaction and her state
ments were corroborated by severil
others In the house. Convinced that
If he had been robbed, the evidence
was not to be had, the district attor
ney told him ho could not regain th
money and advised him to go hon '.
