gating circumstances surrounding
the case of 14-year-old Archie

wounded when a 12-guage shot
gun, carried by- his companion
Robert Turley, was accidentally
discharged while the two 'lads
were hunting just south of the

Although young Sanford died
at the Salem Deaconess hospital
Sunday evening, authorities did
not learn of the accident untlL
last night when they were in
formed, indirectly from Portland.
Newspapermen who visited the
hospital yesterday were not vol
unteered the story, but chanced
upon it this morning. A pre
liminary survey convinced of
ficials that the shooting ungues
tionably was an accident, but
they were inclined to ' feel that
some negligence had been shown
in the failure to report" the case.
Sanford, it was said, was only a
few feet from Turley when he
was shot in the . hip. ' The lads.
searching for game, had been
crawling through the underbrush,
their guns trailing, when the
trigger of Turley 'a gun became
caught In the brush and the gun
discharged. Sanford was in the
lead.
Sanford was graduated from
the Lincoln Junior high school
laet year and had recently become
an aDDrentice at the T. M. Barr
plumbing shop on south Commer
cial street. He was the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Walter C. Sanford,

Clemenceau's secret of longevity,
with a retention of vitality and
endurance that would tax the en
ergies of a man of half his 81
years, is eggs.
He ordered eight of them, soft
boiled, for his supper last night,
and ate them. Before retiring for
the , night he asked for five more
soft boiled ggs for breakfast at
5:3Q this morning.
"I am not so very tired," he
said, "but I have not keep my
schedule, to bed at 8 and up at 5.
I go to bed and get up with the
chiekens. That is why eggs form
my principal diet."
Fresh from a night's rest in the
Potter Palmer mansion on Lake
Shore Drive, Clemenceau was up
before drawn today, working on
bis third big message to America.
The aged war premier had con
fided to members ot his party that
his Chicago address, scheduled tor
4 o'clock this afternoon, In . the
auditorium, was to be a "message
of peace."
It was said that it would be
wholly different address from
those-delivered In New York an
Boston; , whftju roused democratic
and1: republican senators alike to
attack him, and drew a formal
statement from the Britten em
bassy at Washington.
But whether it would be more
pacific, nobody but the tiger could

Police announced today that
Vaden E. Boge, who died ot pois
oning in a local hotel here yester
day, had himself purchased the
lethal drug in a local store, had
signed the record and that they
believed he was a suicide. - His
motive was unknown they said.
The police said also that they
were convinced no woman was in
the room with Boge, and that the
luncheon for two found partially
consumed on a table In his hotel
room was, in their belief, an at
tempt on Boge's part to cloak his
death with an element of mystery,
No Woman Involved.
First investigation Bhowed the
lunch for two with the poison 1
the bottom of a nearly empty cof-
1'ee cup. That, and the manner
ot his registration caused a cry oi
murder to go out and a search to
be made for the woman believed
to have accompanied him..
The police were unable to find
any trace of any woman; they did
find, however, that Boge's effects
bad been carefully checked over
and laid aside; that he had writ
ten a poem commenting on death,
and that he bad been despondent,
according to local relatives. When
the check of local drug stores to
day yielded the fact that he bad
personally bought the poison that
ended his life, they announced the
belief that the case was a suicide.
They said, however, that they
would not consider the case closed
until they .had developed a motive
and had . carefully checked all
angles ot the occurrence. Mean
time an autopsy was ordered and
funeral plans were postponed,

British May Aot
London, Ndv. 28. (By Associ
ated Press) The Greek former
ministers condemned to death by
the military court in Athens have
been executed, says an Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Athens
this afternoon.
It was stated in official circles
this afternoon that the Immedi
ate withdrawal ot the British mln
tster at Athens will result from
the executions.
Precedent Recalled
The precedent of such action br.
the British, it was suggested,
would probably be the break in
diplomatic relations with Serbli
in 1903 as a result ot murder of
the Serbian majesties by revolutionaries.
Early in the trial the British
government made repr
tions against possible Imposition
of the death sentence. London dis
patches said the British action
bad been generally resented in
Athens and that the recent fall
of the Zaimls ministry could be
traced directly to the British
stand,

ment. '
Constantino Exempted
The trial ot several former
Greek ministers and military of
ficials who were charged with
high treason as the result of - the
army's recent defeat by the Turks
began on November 13. The court
martial was instituted by a de
cree of the revolutionary commit
tee after an Investigation by a

resulted in a report charging treason.

declared exempt from the charges
on the ground that he was not
