Counsellor Hindenberg of German
Embassy Who Departed With Von

ROME; June 7. Counsellor Hin
denberg of the German embassy, who
departed from Rome with Ambassador
Von Buelow, following; Itaiy'i declar
ation of war on Austria, unexpectedly
returned today.
His arrival created a rtnsalion in
diplomatic circles. Germany has as
yet fulled to declare wur formally up.
on Italy. This has cause 1 Italy con
siderable embarrassment and the mix
slon of Hindenberg to Rome at the
pieeent time la a mystery.
HOME, June 7 Italy Saturday
took her first aggressive otep agalnM
the knitter, A score of German shlu,
Interned In Italian port since the
beginning of the war, were confiscat
ed by government decree, along with
a number of Austrian steamers an1
sailing vessels, in offlcl.il circles it
was predicted the govenment's ac
tion would bring a formal declaration
of war from Berlin.
The official declaration ('Id not des
ignate the exact number of German
ships seized, but It was reported that
the confiscation order Included the
German merchant fleet lying In the
harbor at Genoa and several smaller
vessels at Naples and Venice. In all,
r,7 Austrian and German ships wero
seized. Their total tonnage Is 21
770. "and their value said to be more
thsn IJM80.000.
In some quarters It believe!
that the government's action may
have been taken for the very purpos
of forcing Germany to declare he'
self. Though diplomatic relations
were severed Immediately after Italy
declared war on Austria and the Ital
ian government was Informed thai
Germany considered that a state of
war existed with respect to Italy, no
formal declaration ever came from
Iterlln.
r.ermnnv's failure to announce her-
elf has been a source of great em-,
barrassment to the Itallt.n govern-
menl Pending a formal declaration (
of war the Italian government placed j
no embargo of supplies, though it!
whs known that these supplies nmgni
lie sent into Austria and ued agalmt
the Italian armies.
The fact that the two countries arc
not formally at war also has hamper
ed the work of the Italian secret ser
vice. With no government order for
the Internment of German residents
of Italy, the difficulties of tracing
suspected German spies were more
than doubled. Some surprise Is felt
that Turkey has failed to deolai
war on Italy since Invasion of Aus
tria actually has begun. The Turkls.i
minister has not appeared In pu'l.c
nr.ee the declaration of war agalnM
Austria, but, according to his subo-
(Inates. has made no preparations to
leave Rome.

Funeral is Held
Today for Victims
of Double Murder
Mlt. A XI) MRS CHARLES OGILVY
AUK Itl HIED AT lIIXT ROCK.
THIS MORNING
With hundreds of the friends of the
deceased present, the funeral of Mi.,
and Mrs. Charles Ogilvy, victims of
the double murder of California Gulch
last week, was held this morning at
11 o'clock. The services were con-'
ducted by Rev. E. W. Warrington of,
Freewater, formerly of Pilot Rock,
who was a close friend of the old
couple.
Nearly all of the eleven surviving
children of the deceased were pres
ent. The children, all grown, are as
follows: Mrs. Ellen Belts of Pilot
Rock. Mrs, Beeman of British Colum

Hemphill of Pilot Rock, and Miss
Elsie Ogilvy, who was the only one
at home. Three other children of the
old couple had died and are burled
nt Pilot Rock.
The funeral was one of the saddest
In the history of Pilot Rock for there
was not a man, woman or child in
the town who did not know and have
a kindly feeling for the old people.
Many had stopped often it the Ogilvy
ranch and enjoyed the Scotch hospi

It was generous. To many the old,
gray-haired lady, who fell the first
victim of the murderer's gun, had
been a mother and feeling Is blrter

Mr. Ogilvy was shout 70 years oil

NO REMEMBRANCE OF CRIME
MAX WILL BE FORMALLY
CHARGED WITH THE Mi ll.
DEU OF THE OGILVYS
Lee Dale, accused murderer of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Ogilvy will probably
be formally charged with the crime
this week. A special sess'on of the
grand jury will convene tomorrow and
the murder case will be presented to
it as an original matter. Owing to
the nearness of the grand Jury term,
no preliminary hearing will be held.
Dale has made no confession yet of
his guilt. This morning the officers
interviewed him and he declared to
them that his mind, so far as the
evening of the tragedy is concerned. Is
a blank. He declares he does not
even remember of having met James
Stubblefield on the road. These
statements vary somewhat with state
ments he made originally.
Dale's father-in-law arrived In Pen
dleton this morning and asked to
the accused man In order to learn
where Mrs. Dale Is. He only shook
hands with his son-in-law and asked
him the whereabouts of his wife. Dale
broke down In the presence of the
older man.
