Fuels regarding Bend's assotn and
unrealized possibilities which are not
always recognized by local people
were brought out by K. h. Viniil in a
convincing talk at tho Commercial

of which Is equal to that of England.
Supplies for all of this nroii, us well
as commodities which It produces,
in ust go through Bend.
"Whut you cun seo from the top
of Pilot It it 1 1 o Is only 2.5 per cent
of tho country that is tributary to
Bond," he declined. Visitors from

region's possibilities than do the
people living here.

TREASURYHEAD
STILL OPPOSED
TO BONUS BILL
(Br Unibt Press to The Bend Bulletin.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. The
treasury department Is still opposed
to the passage cf the soldiers bonus
bill. Secretary Mellon informed con
gress in his annual report today. Mel
lon declared condition are unchang
ed from the time when President
Harding asked congress to return the
bill to the committee. Mellon insist
ed that nearly half a billion will be
spent during the coming year on dis
abled veterans.
Criticizes Hevenue Plan
Mellon's report expressed dissatis
faction with the' way in which con
gress revised the revenue laws, in
sisting that congress take further
steps to reduce promptly the surtax
on big incomes from the present max
imum of 50 per cent to 25 per cent,
and later to ten; to reduce the cor
poration Income tax, fixed by con
gress at 15 per cent, to reduce the
tax on wealthy estates, now 25 per
cent, to substitute a low tax rate on
articles, such as automobiles, and
tires and on transactions.
He insisted thnt high surtaxes dry
up incentive, while present high taxes
amount to virtual seizure of individ
ual property.
Chairman Fordney. of the house
ways and means committee, is unde
terred by Treasurer Mellon. He In
sists that the soldier bonus bill shall
pass.

ATTACKS Oil
4 CONFESSED
BY POISONER
STEVENS TALKS AFTER
WOMEN IDENTIFY
BURGLARY ADMITTED
rupture Confirm Sheriff's Theory
Thut Hunger Would Drive Mao
To Theft Telescope I'sei To
Keep Watch On Pursuers.
After being positively Identified
this morning by Mrs. Milton Llndley
as the man who attacked her on No
vember 8, Robert Stevens, arrested
late yesterday afternoon by Sheriff
S. E. Roberts on a charge of burglar
izing the Knight farmhouse on the
Tumalo road, confessed shortly be
fore noon today that he is the maa
who made no less than four attacks
of the kind In and near Bend one
other oh November 8, and two on Kay-ember
13. Stevens admitted his pur
pose In making the attacks, In the
course of his story, told In the pres
ence of Sheriff Roberts, Deputy
George Stokoe, District Attorney A.
J. Moore, and two other witnesses
This noon Stevens was identified by
Lorinda Dunn, 13 year old girl whom
he stopped on November 8 near the
home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
M. Dunn, near the city limits of Bend.
Mrs. W. R. Nutt, another of his alleg
ed intended victims declared last
night that Stevens was the man from
whom she had escaped November 8.
Confirms Sheriffs Theory
Arraignment Is expected to be
made tomorrow when Stevens will be
charged with a crime which If pror
ed will mean a sentence of from 20
years to life in the penitentiary. Last
night he admitted burglarizing the
Knight home, his thefts covering a
period of several days. Sixteen year
old Guy Caranaugh was a witness to
the burglary. A rifle and quantities
of groceries were taken.
The manner in which the man whs
terrorized Bend women over a period
of weeks confirmed the theory to
catch the man, the sheriff expressed
his belief that sooner or later thefts
of provisions would give a cine to
his whereabouts. On making the ar
rest on complaints from Knight, Rob
erts at once suspected his prisoner of
a graver offense, and confirmed his
belief when Mrs. Nutt Identified
Stevens.
Pursuers Watched.
In his confession, which was made
voluntarily, Stevens told a story
which tallied closely with that al
ready gathered by the sheriff from
the women and girls attacked. Hs
had carried a telescope, and used this
in escaping from his pursuers, using
Pilot Butte as an observation sta
tion. After his activities on Novem
ber 13, he was on the Butte until
dusk, watching the posse which as
sembled to hunt him. When most of
the men were on the far side of the
butte, he came down and made his
way home, he said.
During the last two weeks, Stevens
has been living In a shack not far
from the Knight place.
Stevens evinced no regret as he
told his story, colorless and unemo
tional. At times his memory appar
ently failed him slightly, but in the
main his recollections were clear and
well connected.
Says Jullbrpakc r Cousin
He is nearly 20 years of age, and
came to Bend last June. He is a bro
ther of Ray Stevens, mill employe,
he said, and until two weeks ago had
made his home in the south part of
tho city. He was sent to Portland
from Bend throe years ago by tha
Boys' nnd Girls' Aid society, he men
tioned, and wns willing to explain
this merely by the statement, "I got
Into trouble" His parents are not
living.
Stevens told Sheriff Roberts last
night that he Is a cousin of Fred
Stevens, who recently escaped from
the Redmond jail where he was held
on a charge of making Intoxicants.
It Is expected that the burglary
charge will not be pushod, as It Is
for the minor offense. i
