MAN ACCUSED OF
STORE ROBBERY
IS HELD TO JURY
Frank Wagner, an inmate at the
state penitentiary, was bound over to
the grand jury this afternoon by Jus
tice of the Peace Glen Unruh to ans
wer to a charge of being Implicated
in the robbery on the night of June
5, of a bank and store at Silverton.
No ball was imposed, as Wagner is
serving a term of 40 years for crimes
committed at Astoria, and his appear
ance is thus assured.
When Louis Tebeau . and Howard
Coffman 'are released from the state
penitentiary tomorrow they will be
Immediately arrested again and tak
en to the county jail and held as wit
nesses against Wagner. Their bail, has
been fixed atr $ 250 each.
Tebeau and Coffman were arrested
for the burglary but were able to es
tablish an alibi, showing that they
were working at a Portland .shipyard
at the time the robbery was commit
ted. They were arrested, with Wagner
in the car, for speeding near Port
land. Wagner escaped in some near
by brush. Tebeau and Coffman then
placed all blame for the crime on
Wagner.
Several weeks later Wagner was
taken Into custody at Astoria and was
committed to the penitentiary. Later,
information, that he was implicated
in the burglary at Silverton caused au
thorities to brine this - charge and
cause his arraignment today.

King was with the posse of eight

effort to round up three men who
were stationed on Seminary Ridge, ov
erlooking Centralia, and were ordered,
it is alleged, to pick off men in the
Armistice day parade from that van

The posse, says King, approached to

fusillade of shots poured out upon
them. John Haney was shot through
the head and probably was instantly
killed. King's hat was shot off but he
was not hurt.
Rescue Is Impossible.
Every effort was made by the rest
of the posse to reach Haney but each
attempt was met by a volley of shots
which seemed to come not only from
the cablne but from behind nearby
trees. After several such attempts, the
posse decided to wait for more men
and more supplies.

that Glass preferred a legislation post
to one in the cabinet.

HOVE TO REMOVE
CHIEF OF POLICE
II
v Though denied by those said to be
back of the movement and other mem
bers of the city counoij refraining to
discuss the affair, it was rumored this
morning that an effort will be made
at the. counoil meeting tonight to oust
Chief of Police Percy M. Varney from
office. It was admitted ,by a certain
member of the council several days
ago that such was being discussed and
that this action was due to come up
at the meeting two weeks ago. That
the mayor counselled that It was not
the logical time to take such action is
said to have halted the proceedings
then. , ' V, "
Varney Says Politics.
Chief Varney was indifferent today.
"Any action like this that is taken,"
he said, "I known to be only petty poli
tics, and will hurt those who do it
more than it will me."
The two factions" In the city coun
cil were preparing during the day for
the fight.- Friends of the chief of po
lice, contending that he was placed in
office by the people and is therefore
only accountable to them, claim that
any action taken to remove him will
be bitterly opposed. Several council
men indicated that their fellow legis
lators will have a "hard time" vacat
ing the chief of police's chair.
Budget Comes Up.
On several occasions. Chief Varney
has said, he planned to resign; but
only held on to gratify the faith placed
in him by citizens. He said that-he had
been offered several better positions
paying a greater salary, but with the
interests of Salem at heart has always
declined them.
It is expected that formal action will
be taken by the council tonight to re
move Patrolman Ganiard and Traffic
Officer Moffltt from the force. Mof
fltt, it is understood, has already ar
ranged to work for Portland.
The tentative 1920 budget will come
before the council tonight for adoption
or rejection. Lively debate on this Is
anticipated.
LOSES SUIT TO HOLD
VAUABLE OIL LAND
Washington, Nov. 17. The govern
ment in supreme court today won its
fight to take from the Southern Pacific
valuable oil ..lands in Elk Hills.
The government charged that the
agents of the road swore falsely to
obtain title to the disputed lands con
trary to an act of congress which
granted the road certain sections of
provided they did not contain min
erals. The road answered that Its agents
had no way of knowing that the lands
contained oil and questioned whether
the oil was mineral within the mean
ing of the act.
The district court decided for the
government and the appeals court for
the road.
"The lands at the time the patents
were issued were known to be valuanie
for oil, we believe," the court said.
"Correspondence between officers
show they believed the lands had much
oil value."
VARNEY RUMORED
HE DECLARES
Adoption of Lodge Reservations
Death to Ratification, Hitch
cock Announces Following
Conference with President
Washington, Nov, 17. President Wilson today de
creed defeat for the resolution of peace treaty ratification
containing the Lodge reservations.
This was the outcome of a conference the president
had with Senator Hitchcock, administration leader, this
morning, according to Hitchcock. '
The president, Hitchcock declared, "will pocket" the
peace treaty if it is ratified with the Lodge reservations.
This means he will refuse to accept it.
Hitchcock ' and the president
talked for nearly an hour In Wil
son's sick room.
The president, It was learned,
directed that the administration
supporters should vote ngalnst
the resolution of ratification,
which Is now being prepared by
the senate sitting as committee of
the whole ond'whloh contains the
Lodge reservations.
If ft is defeated. I-ntchnnr.lt will rtlpr-A
a substitute resolution of ratification
before the senate and if this is defeat
ed, he hopes for a compromise.
.Pigeonholing Likely.
However, if the udmlnintmilnn ftann.
tors do not succeed in defeating the
first ratification the president will
pigeonhole the treaty.1 .
He has the nowei to do thin sim
ply to lay the ratification aside and
ignore it.
Wilson evidently Is taklnar activ nnn
trol of the treaty fight as it enters its
most critical phase.
Hitchcock said he : found Wilson
much improved. He is standing pat
on his contention that the Lodge reser
vations, especially the one qualifying
arti.cle 10, nullify'the treaty. Appar
ently he Is nroreprtlncr In thn ih.n
that the opposition will not dare kill
me wnoie peace settlement by refusing
to let more ratifications resolutions be
introduced after the first one is re.
jeeted.
Immediately after the conferenn.
Hitchcock hurried back to the capitol
to make his report to other senators.
The president is much better and
he Is full of fieht." declared fWrn.
tary Tumulty today. .
After Wilson's canfnrenca arith
Hitchcock, he rode in the White House
grounds in his wheel chair, the first
time he has left the exernilva ni.ti.lnn
since early in October. He nlanned tn
stay out doors two hours.
ljoage Forces Ready
Republican Leader Lnriirn nnnenr.
ed to have marshalled Mu rnnu. fu
tile final fight, A tentative plan had
ooen agreed upon, it was stated, by
which the republican majority will
vote to declare the trpii.lv ilooioH in
event the Lodge resolution containing
reservations is defeated. -
This plan was practically agreed
upon at a conference of all f.intinnn
on the republican side today.
tiotn "mild reservationlsts" and "Ir
reconcilable" are reported to have
agreed on the fololwing program:
When the Lodge resolution of rat
ification is defantorl Ih. "mIM mhap.
vationists" will vote with Lodge to
declare the treatv relpntAiV Thin - n
motion for reconsideration will be
made on which the so called "irre-
COncllableS" will vnlp tn MnaMnp
and the treaty can then be brought
dbck tor iurtner consideration.
Disagree Over Rules
Although there fire (lIunfrreAmanfu
over the rules, it was one opinion that
under this procedure, the colture will
cease to be effective when the treaty
Is declared rejected. It would then
be brought up again for reconsidera
tion, minus the limitation 'on debate.
This would permit entirely new com
promise resolutions to be adopted.
And during the time that would elapse
it is believed the democratic side and
republicans could cet tosrether ' and
agree on a program that would ner-
mit ratification by a two thirds vote.
Attorney General Brown gives notice
that he will probably proceed to prose
cute any one known to be guilty of vio
lating the law against profiteering In
foods and other necessities.
