proving their natural citizenship and
proving their vessel was unarmed.
Seventy-seven neutrals will remain

Survivors said the Mowe's speed

DISCOUNTS STORY
OF TIMBER WOLVES
KILLING HUNTER
K. F Averlll. district Inspector of
predatory animate, is inclined to dis
count the story from Gold Hill to the
effect that John Hammersley, govern
ment hunter, had been killed and
eaten by a park of hungry wolves. Ha
bases his skepticism upon his knowl
edge of Hammersley, of the country
and of the nature of the beasts.
Lost evening when he read the ac
count of the supposed tragedy ln the
Rant Oregonian, Mr. Averlll wired to
a friend In Rogue River for Informa
tion. An answer came stating that
there was nothing definite known
there but that a searching party
would go out today.
Hammersley wrote to Mr. Averlll,
under whose supervision he works, on
December 30 that he would make a
month's trip into the mountains In
search of timber wolves but the point
to which he signified his Intention of
going is 15 miles from his camp al
Willow Springs near where the bones
were found. Mr. Averill declares
that the timber wolf Is a most timid
animal and scoffs at the idea of their
attacking an armed man. If Ham
mersley la dead and eaten. Mr. Averill
thinks he met an accidental death,
after which wolves found his body
Knowing Hammersley to be a season
ed woodsman, Mr. Averill thinks
that he might show up at some post
office tomorrow to mall his monthls
report.

Baruch. Wall street man, told the

million dollars paying the "peace
hunchses" In December. He sold
twenty eight thousand steel shares
short on December nineteenth when
Lloyd George addressed the House of
Commons, leaving the peace door
open.
The probers apparently attempted
to trace the leak to Bernstorff when
they questioned Archibald White,
Bernstorffs friend. He flatly denied
receiving any advance Information
from Bernstorff and denied trading
during the leak period.
Baruch denied making special ar
rangements for getting the leaked
news from , Washington. He said
newspapers and the ticker were hit
sole information sources. He pre
sented a complete record of all his
dealings during the time under In
vestigation. He said advance infor

would have enabled him to make big
profits.

Paul Warburg of the federal reserve
board during the leak period. He
said he failed to reach him. Later
he telegraphed McAdoo regarding a

PENDLETON POLICE
Having read in a Portland paper
that Chief of Police Lou Rayburn of
La Grande, formerly police officer
here, and Fire Chief Claude McKay
of La Grande, have issued a defi to
meet any other such officers In th.
country in a blue rock contest. Chief
of Police Gurdune of Pendleton is
hurling a challenge to the La Grande
chkifs to meet him and Officer Billy
Siheer in a revolver contest.
"1 know Lou is a champion with
the shotgun," said Chief Gurdane thi.-"
morning, "and McKay may be as
good, but what does that buy them.
An officer doesn't go around with a
shotgun on his shoulder. The only
gun he carries Is a revolver and, if he
shoots at all when on the trail of a
culprit, it is with the revolver. I can
outshoot Lou with a revolver at any
distance and Billy, despite his 6ii
years, can beat any other La Grande
officer Lou wants to bring along.
Tell him to cut out blowing about hi
marksmanship with a Bcatter-gun and
meet me with the only weapon a man
In his occupation should use."
