Mike Kozik, 20 year old Russian
giant is still at large today after
running amuck at the state hos
pital for the Insane here late last
night, knocking down several at
tendants and breaking through
heavy doors in making his escape
from the institution.
Kozik's rampage which ended in
his escape from the institution
started when attendants attempted
to give him the bath customary to
be administered .o new patients
Just received at the institution. !
Kozik objected to being bathed and
is still unwashed so far as the hos
pital is concerned.
He was brought to the hospital
Thursday afternoon from Port
land, bPiug brought down under
restraint lyvhoughvtiffering no signs
of violence on the Mp. Wher at
tendants Itarted til nndre.,., him
last niglt and released the strap
which bound his arms he began to
lay about him, striking one at
tendant with tne buckle of the
strap and inflicting a painful scalp
wound and bowling over like ten
pins several others who rushed to
the rescue of the first.
A massive wooden door which
barred the madman's progress was
shattered like kindling wood by
the giant who weighs better than
two hundred pounds, Kozik taking
the door Jamb with him in his
headlong flight. In the hall he
seized a chair with which he
smashed through fhe outer door to
the receiving ward and made his
way to freedom.
A report was received at the hos
pital this morning that Kozik had
been seen in the vicinity of Aurora
and a party of attendants have been
sent out to search for him in that
neighborhood.

j This was shown today when the
: note sent by the American state de
partment and laid before the coun
cil of the league yesterday
maue public.
Council Studies Note.
The council again took up the
note this morning, considering It
with particular reference to this
claim advanced by the United
States. Some of the members held
that Apierlca had forfeited such
rights by withdrawing, as an asso
ciated power, from the supreme
council.
In the summary of the note the
United States declared It had never
given its consent that the island of
Yap be included in the territories
subjected to the madate of Japan.
The other principal feature of the
note was the American contention
of equal right and interest in dis- 1
posing of Germany's overseas pos
sessions. On this the note said-
As one of the- principal allied
and associated powers the United
States has equal concern unit In.
separable interest with the other
principal allied and associated now
ers In the overseas possessions of
Germany, and consequently an
equal voice in their disposition,
which it is respectfully submitted
cannot be undertaken or effected
without its consent."

Tokio, Feb. 23. Japan can do
nothing to invalidate anti-Japanese
legislation In California, declared
Viscount Uchida, foreign minisier
today.
"California's legislation," he said,
"is injurious to Japanese interests,
but that state has been acting with
in her constitution and also that of
the United States."
The foreign minister spoke In re
ply to Baron Yoshlro Sakatani,
who after referring to a growing
tendency in other Pacific coast
states to follow the example of
California, asked if the Japanese
government was doing anything to
counteract this movement. He also
inquired if there were prospects
that the accord being negotiated bj'
Roland S. Morris, American am
bassador to Japan, and Viscount
Shidehara, Japanese ambassador at
Washington, might be ratified soon.
M. Uchida said an agreement of
a nature advantageous to Japan
was being arranged by Mr. Morris
and M. Shidebara and that a satis
factory solution might be expected,
although it was doubtful whether
definite steps would be taken dur
ing the administration of President
Wilson.

President-Elect To Say
Where Service Is Of

Acceptance of Commerce Job Understood to

tion of Scientific Bureaus '
New York, Feb. 24. Herbert Hoover declared in a state
ment today that he had left it to President-elect Harding tc
decide whether he could be of more service as secretary ot
commerce or as director of European relief.
In a statement to the Associated Press he said:
"I left it to Mr. Harding to determine whether he con
sidered I can be of more service to the public as secretary of
commerce or carrying out the public trust already entrusted
to me as a private citizen."
New York, Feb. 24. Herbert
Hoover, who has been offered the
post of secretary of commerce In
President-elect Harding's cabinet,
announced here today he had put
up to Mr. Harding a proposal for
the general reconstruction of the
department and an enlargement of
Its field.
Asked If he would enter the cab
inet if his views were met he said
he had not "put it up to Mr. Hard
ing In that way."
"It is not a question of "take it
or leave It.' " he said.
Other considerations entering in
to the matter, Mr. Hoover contin
ued, concerned the European relief
administration. He declared he
had undertaken the responsibility
of directing the expenditure of
thirty or forty million dollars In
Europe money contributed by peo
pie of American and he must con
tinue to have general direction
over that expenditure.
"As the department of coir.merca
stands today," he said, "it conslsti
largely of a group of scientific bu
reaus which have onlv a romota
connection with commerce itself."
He added that if he should accept
the position he saw a way to make
changes which make of it a "real
department of commerce."

St. Augustine, Fla., Feb. 24.
Again taking notice of published
criticisms of his cabinet selections.
President-elect Harding said today
that he intended to make no reply
except through the acts of the com
ing administration.
"Our only response." he said,
will be action and service. Should
we fail in that, t.icn we would de
serve to be criticised."
While the cabinet is regarded
here as virtually closed, the president-elect
made It clear that
changes still are possible.
Discussing the question of Her

agreeing -to take the place. It is
understood that Mr. Harding and
Mr Hoover are in communication
now on that subject and there is
every evidence that the discussion
is pointing towards an acceptance

templates filing a protestwith the
public school board.
According to Mr, Pierce, who
made public those details with
which he had been acquainted, his
daughter was first commanded to
appear at a local cemetery at 9
nvinrk at night, armed wilh nn
ot-ir and a bathing suit. Objections
frnm Mr. Pierce were responsible
for a change In the preliminaries,
however, and it was eventually
agreed that Miss Pierce should ap
lear at the court house. Arriving,
she was blindfolded and placed In
an automobile and taken to a point
about which she was later able to
tell nothing. Investigation this
morning showed that she and the
other two "neophytes" were de
posited at the Btate hospital
grounds which proved to be the
scene of the preliminary initiation.
Hurt While Blindfolded.
It was while wandering about
blindfolded and unaccompanied
that Miss Pierce collided with a
piece of iron trellis work and as a
result lost a tooth, Mr. Pierce said,
and" it was then that she rebelled
and Jerked the handkerchief from
her eyes. Previously the girls had
been forced to assume an attitude
of "extreme humiliation." It was
said, and had been "paddled" gen
erously. A preliminary Investigation made
by Mr. Hug and Principal J. C. Nel
son this morning Indicated that the
club, which Is composed of about
20 young women from prominent
Salem families. Is of a semi-secret
