Indications today were that the coroner's Jury would be unable to arrive at any definite explanation of the affair when It meets tomorrow. Mrs. Young, wife of the slain liquor raider asserted that wit nesses would be at the Inquest to verify an account that her husband has been lured into a trap and shot from behind. The body of the slain Young to day lay at the First Baptist church, a Hcd Cross near the foot of the coffin, and klnnsmen keep ing vigil. The kleaglo's purple robe had been replaced by street clothes. The bodies of Young's two henchmen and that of Deputy Sheriff Thomas, Young's avowed enemy, were in their homes.

Louis Louch- eur, one of the negotiators of the Versailles treaty, moved by Sen ator Borah'a reply to Deputy Marin's address, is quoted by the Excelsior as Baying: "I never contested our debt to America. I did say that It seemed Impossible physically and mater ially that France could reimburse the whole of that debt. "I wish to contest only one point in Senator Borah's state ment. He says France gained a value of $100,000,000 by the Saare mines. Doesn't be know that that sum was inscribed on the debit side of France's balance sheet against her claim tor restoration of the devastated regions. Furth ermore, all specialists agree that the sum this debited is greater than the mines' real value. "I defy America herself to re imburse a sum of $3,000,000,000.

And thereby bangs a tale. Not the least Important part of the story Is that Speaker Burukk of the house has drawn. It appears. a barrage of criticism from the majority members of the Multno mah county delegation which might becomo serious enough, It Is hinted, to make his organiza tion machine miss a few cogs now and then. When the Joint ways and means committee chairman, the latter part of last week, began to dish out the trips for Bub-commlttes. Senators Staples and Dunn and Representatives Bennett of Mult nomah and Wheeler of Lane ware appointed to make the Pendla'on trip. When Senator Staples found that Speaker Burdlck had ap pointed Representative Mark Mc- SHARP TILT IN E A sharp tilt developed In the house this morning when house bills 72 and 73, introduced by Rush light, Multnomah county, came up for final reading. The two bills would affect the plumbing laws of the state, the first repealing a num ber of existing sections and the second providing for a new plumb log code. Cowglll, of Jackson county, de clarcd that the law would "send about 10,000 more Inspectors run ning around the state." Representative Fltzmaurlce, of Gilliam, Sherman and Wheeler counties, opposed the measure holding that It would prohibit un licensed persons from doing simple plumbing Jobs. The two measures were referred to the revision of laws committee Three other bills pertaining to game matters wero referred to the game committee. One would prohibit beaver killing and hunt ing throughout the state. House bill 85, the Mills conven tion plan, was referred to the Ju diciary committee on motion of Representative Hammond, Clacka mas county, who pointed out that a page of tho bill had been omit ted in printing.

To the Question why Burdick made the change the reply was the shrugging of several pairs of legislative shoulders, and well known French movement of the hands, palms upward: Then someone dropped this hint: "Back In Washington whtn a new congressman gets a little too forward they give him the raspberry or at least don't allow him to figure much." Another member went stronger, and In different direction. said: "I know a certain senator went to Bennett and told him that It he didn't vote for a certain bill he would Bee that Bennett got nowhere with any bill be intro duced. Maybe that senator's in fluence was strong enough to reach the speaker." Anyway, Staples Is determined not to go to Pendleton, and lie.i nett, to use the words of another legislator, "Isn't saying anything, but feels like a spanked kid." STEEL AND GLASS MODERN PLANT Tentative plans for the first unit of the new linen mills on the Fairgrounds road have been pretty well worked out by B. C. Miles In company with engineers and according to present plans the factory building first con structed will be 150 by 100 feet. It Is proposed to build the structure with steel framework and the balance of glass, along the most modern lines of factory construction, and this plan will be adhered to unless it la round this type of construction la too expensive. In addition to the firtU building warehouses will be add ed as part of the original con etructlon. The Initial unit of the factory building will lie on the south side of the property, the entrance fac ing on the Fairgrounds road and the rear entrance on the South ern Pacific tracks. By this plan better fire protection will be giv en than constructing the building parallel with the railroad track aa first discussed, and also the building will be more easily reached by trucks. Two fire hya rants in close proximity to the building on the Fairgrounds road were one reason for selecting the site which was chosen because of possible fire hazards In handling large quantities of flax. A group of farmers from Hills bnro was here today conferring with Mr. Miles relative to flax raising, as considerable interest has developed there among farm ere In this class of agricultural industry. Mr. Mites took them to the penitentiary to view the plant there. SENATOR.

Washington, Jan. 26. The senate today recommitted to the Judiciary committee the nomina tion of Attorney General Stone to be a supreme court Justice. The Judiciary committee today received from lie sub-committee the nomination of Charlp B. Warren of Michigan to succeed Mr. Stone as attorney genera without recommendation. Mem bens said no action was likely un til the Stone nomination is out of the way. At the department of JiiAtlcc today. It was learned that the trial of Senator Wheeler at Butte. Mont., which has long been pend ing; has been set for March 15. The action was taken after an hour's dlectiAeion in executive session and had the approval or the administration leaders, who have conferred with President Coolldge. It Is probable that Mr. Stone will appear before the commit tee to make a statement with ref erence to the action of the Jus tice department in seeking a sec ond indictment ana I net Senator wheeler, democrat, Montana, in the District of Columbia. Friends of the attorney gener al say he will reply at length be fore tho committee to charges that there Is an attempt to "per secute" the Montnna senator, or that the department Is violating a fundamental principle of law by seeking to try Mr. Wheeler here instead of in Montana, where he already ie under indictment. The department Is said to re gard the two proceedings as en tirely independent of one another, although they both relate to land questions. It is the plan to prcwe the Montana case to trial there.
