were killed in Saturday night's
shooting here. 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

robe had been replaced by street
clothes.
The bodies of Young's two
henchmen and that of Deputy
Sheriff Thomas, Young's avowed

joint funeral was probable.
According to one version the
fight followed a fight shot fired
from the hotel Saturday night. As

"I never contested our debt to
America. I did say that It seemed
Impossible physically and mater

the whole of that debt.
"I wish to contest only one
point in Senator Borah's state

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

the sum this debited is greater

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

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.

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.

Th:it every sheriff In Oregon Is
in favor of enforcing the prohibi

ed tha necessary funds, and that
the state prohibition department
should be abolished because It can
not be worked successfully, and
that effective cooperutlon cannot
be obtained between sheriffs' of
fices and stnte prohibition officers,
was the opinion expressed before
the prohibition investigation com
mittee today by Sam St armor,
sheriff of Douglas county.
Starmer objected strongly to the
law whereby fines from prohibi
tion cases, th JURh all may be hand
led by the sheriffs' office, must be
turned over to the extent of 25
per cent to tho state department,
lie niso objected that the depart
ment Is now trying to have the
law changed so It will get 50 per
cent.
Starmer said that his relations
with George L. Cleaver, prohibi
tion commlsKi'tner, had always:
been friendly, but that .neither
Cleaver nor his men had ever done
ony thing in Douglas county, aa
far as he knew, except that Cleav
er swore to a complaint before the
Justice of the peace at Recdsport
In the rtoberts-Schulte-Connelly
bribery case, arising out of a pro
hibition law violation. And In this
case, Starmer said, the evidence on
whirh the complaint was made was
all gotten by the sheriff's office,
as was all the evidence on which
the men were indicted by the grand
Jury and convicted in court and
sent to the penitentiary.
