AssualtTo
Be Charged
To Mullinix
A formal charge of assault
with intent to kill will be lodged
against Jesse Mullinix, age 40,
m, this afternoon, Sheriff W. I.
Needham announced at the
sheriff's office this noon. Mul
jjniX was arrested just before
midnight last night following ac
cusation of T. W. Steiger, a
prominent farmer residing near
this city, that Mullinix was the
man who had intercepted him in
the barnyard of his home and
shot him at eight o-'clock last
evening.
Mullinix, at the time of his ar
rest and today maintains stout
claims of innocence of the crime,
and indicates that he will estab
lish an alibi that he was in a
pool hall here at the time the
sh oo ting, occurred . Sheriff
Needham, aided by deputies, are
working today attempting to
establish a motive for the shoot
ing. The only clue they possess,
the sheriff said, is a 32 calibre
bullet taken from Steiger at the
hospital.
Under cross examination by Prose
cuting Attorney Max Gehlhar tnls
morning Mullinix said that he had no:
had a gun in his possession for twe
years. He admitted that he had nerv
ed In the navy for four years, njvi
that he was considered acrack shot.
While in the navy, he told the prose
cuting attorney he employed the name
Janies Clark," and he said that two
nights before the shooting he cam?
to Salem and registered at a local
hotel by that name.
Humors Are Illfe
The shooting today gave rise t
many rumors and much speculation
as to what prompted the shooting. In
the absence of other motive some
were lending an ear to a rumor that
liullliiix had made clandestine visits
to Airs. Steiger recently. Wheth'.T
this has any connection with the
crime or not has not been determine-.
yet, It is said.
Steiger spent a good night nt the Sa
lem hospital last night, it was reported
this morning; and every hope is be
Sheriff
ing held out for his recovery. The flow
of blood had successfully been check
ed, and it is believed the wounds vu
heal speedily, The worst wound -is Jusi

lets entered. Had It pierced an artery
death probably would have resulted, it
Is said. Another bullet entered the
flesh of the thigh near the groin and
the other made a less serious gash in
the leg.
rive Shots Fired.
Five shots were fired, according to
neighbors who-claimed that they paid
no attention to them, believing that
they were torpedo shots made from
the passing of a train near the Steiger
residence. Sheriff Needham Is positive
that the asasilant, whoever he may be,
emptied the chamber of the gun' which
was a 32-callbre revolver.
According to Steiger's story told to
trie sheriff and deputies after he hau
been removed to the hospital, he had
lust finished milking about 8 o'clock,
nd had left the barn. Through the
gathering darkness he saw a man, but
thought nothing of it, believing It wan
neighbor bound on a friendly visit.
Without a word, the assailant ap
proached, and Steiger could see that
h' hand held something as It was ex
tended toward him. When he saw that
It was a revolver, he dropped the milk
buckets and grappled with the fellow.
Steiger insists it was Mullinix.

Into Presidential
Race Adds Spice
Washington, Mar. 26. The recep-
tl0n accoraed Ambassador Ygnaclo
sonuias on his arrival recently In Mex
ico City from the United States and his
formal acceptance of the nomination
for the presidency on the Clvilista tick
et opens a new phase in the political
camaign now in full swing in Mexico.
Bonlllas will have the support of Pres
ident Carranza against General Alvaro
Obregon. another leading candidate. '
The first effect of Bonlllas' entrance
into the campaign apparently has been
to lessen the chances of General Pablo
Gonzales, formerly military head in
the federal district and at one time
Carranza's candidate for the presi
dency. Mr. Bonlllas will meet the de
sire of a large element which wishes to
be relieved of the domination of the
army. It is believed his long residence
in this country, where he received his
education, and his experience in the
embassy, have made him familiar with
American views and given him an un
derstanding of this country's attitude
in Pan-American affairs.
General Obregon will have the sup
port of revolutionary leaders, includ
ing Francisco Villa, according to re
ports. Barring another revolution, which
many Mexicans openly predict as a re
sult of th elections, officials here be
lieve that which ever way the elections
go, an era of better understanding be
tween this country and Mexico will re
sult.

Says Borah
. ..... . ,. ,
Washington, Mar. 26 Charging
that "war profiteers" had combined to
control thS republican and democratic
national conventions, Senator Borah,,
republican, Idaho, told the senate tov
day that the pre-convention exprnat
tures of some presidential candidates
presented a "shameless situation'
promising "a saturnalia of corruption"
unless congress called a halt.
Senator Borah's charges were made
ln presenting his bill for limitation ot
pre-conventton expenditures,
Reading a published story that "tes
timonials" endorsing Major General
Leonard Wood were being purchased
in Indiana at the rate of 12.(0 apiece,
Senator Borah said he had been ad
vised that "plenty of affidavits to the
same effect were on file in a neighbor
ing state." i
"General Wood's managers state
that the managers for Governor Low
den are spending more money than
they. This is their defense. I am in
clined to think that is true. There are
) money is coming from, I would be
willing to accept their explanation.
But when they remain silent there is
only one inference, to be drawn and
that is that the charges are true."
Senator Thomas, Colorado, and
Ashurst, Arizona, democrats, asked
Senator Borah to give the names ol
democrats who were spending lur
sums of money and the speaker said
he would do so at the proper time.
"If I knew any democrat who was
spending money excessively," said
Senator Ashurst, "I should feel It my
duty to see that he didn't get some
delegates he might otherwise get. And
I thought any democrat was trying to
get a third term, I would not hesitate
to tell the people that that was wrong."
"If the senator doesn't know that
a democrat Is seeking a third term,"
rejoined Senator Borah, "then he s
blessed with an Innocence of which 1
would not suspect him. I think the
president is entitled to a third term,
for who else would lead the fight for
the treaty?"
"Doesn't the senator mean a third
nomination?" asked Senator Moses, re
publican, New Hampshire, who is man
ager of General Wood's Washington
bureau.
"Well If the candidate of the sena
tor of New Hampshire keeps up his
practices and is nominated, it will be
a third term," Borah replied.
Senator Borah quoted a newspaper
report that the democratic national
committee was raising a ten million
dollar campaign fund and added thai
there were evidences of a like situa
tion ln the republican organization.
CluunlK-rlnlii Reads Names.
"But Chairman Cummins of the

Senator Chamberlain, democrat, Or
egon, interrupted Senator Borah's read
tng of a list of names of alleged cu
trlbutors In General Wood's campaign
fund to ask if some of them were not
giving money for political activities ln
both parties.
"They usually do," Senator Moras
said. "Edward I. Doheny, head

here as a contributor to General

and he himself i a candidate for elec

which had been in progress dur

Wesel is under fire from artil

in repelling all infantry attacks.
Today's battle opened during
the forenoon when government
troops attacked worker forces
which had advanced to within a
few hundred yards of the Wesel
bridgehead. The regulars drove
the reds south across the Lippe
river and southeast out of Lippe

ernment artillery opened fire up
on tne workers.
In the meantime government artil
lery opened fire upon the workers
headquarters at Llpperdorf and parti
ally destroyed them. . Working south

from Llpperdorf, the regulars began a
double flank attack which swept the
reds back, An armored train pushed
along toward the bridge acosa t he

across the Lippe river and kept up
a steady fire on the workers.
Many shells fired by the workers
artillery flew wild during this struggle.
