Editor and Publisher Scott's History of Oregon A complete history of Oregon has been compiled from the writings of the late Harvey Scott, for nearly half a century editor of the Portland Oregonian, by Leslie bcott, his son, in eix handy volumes, which should be in the library of every citizen of the state. Harvey Scott was not only one of the great editors of his time, but the best informed man in Oregon. His knowledge of the northwest and of the state, in which played so vital a p-rt in its development, most profound. He not only helped make history, but had a personal acquaintance with all of the characters who shaped the destinies of the northwest empire. From Mr. Scott's numerous writings, covering every phase of the state's progress from the arrival of trappers and traders to the recent past, his son has carefully, skillfully and sympathetically compiled an authentic and comprehen sive history, so well indexed that reference can be had to any subject at sight. The volumes not only convey accurate information of Oregon, but throw interesting sidelights upon the personality of the pioneers and politicians of the day. Everything Harvey Scott wrote was worthwhile. His vigorous and pungent style made all his writings a delight to read, and no one can peruse this history without realizing what a great loss Oregon journalism sustained in his passing. ;Leslie Scott in preserving for a new generation the best traditions of the old, as set forth by the most skilful of anaylists and commentators, with a revealing glimpse of his father's picturesque personality, has rendered a real public service. Ebert From humble 3addler to first president of the German republic replacing the Hohcnzollerns, epitomizes the career of Friederick Ebert who passed away today and offers new . proof that the door of opportunity to ambitious youth of ability is open even in effete monarchies. Ebert was born of poor parents in Heidelberg and appren ticed to learn the saddlers trade. Becoming prominent in trades-union work, he espoused the cause of the Social Democrats and became an editor of a party organ. Elected to the Keichstag, he assumed party leadership and on the collapse of the monarchy, was elected president of the new republic. As president Ebert showed a skill and firmness in the troubled times of post-war chaos that insured the perpetua tion of the, republic and won the admiration of his enemies. The simple dignity with which Frau Ebert filled her position ' as first lady of Germany disarmed the sharpest critics. Ebert succeeded where probably no one else could. l'resident Ebert forgot party lines whenever it was neces sary to check radicalism, either in his own party or in other parties, placing patriotism above partisanship, intent only preservation of the republic. He won the confidence of foreign envoys and was mainly instrumental in bringing about the acceptance of the Dawes plan to bring calm to Germany and settle the stormy reparations issue. ioerc was a naru-neauca, tacuul leader wno made a gallant f iprht for his country under the most heart-breaking conditions and by his wisdom brought order out of chaos. II'- death, four months before the presidential election produces more confusion in a muddfed situation. Tries Poison Thrice After Chloroforming Deformed Daughter Denver, Colo., Feb. 28 Love for his tUu Kilter, who during her lifo of 32 yens had never "Brown up" coupled with a desire not to "leave her a burden on the community" led Dr. 11 K. Ulnxor of Knulewood, suburb, to put hit daughter Ha le) Into eternal Bleep by n dm In Inter liifr chtoroform hint Tuesday, nn In vestigation revealed last night.

Hazel's constant com panion. However, the quick minis trations of a physician counteract ed the poison and nt midnight last Tuesday it was believed lr. Uraz er would recover. Hours later, when other members of (he family were asleep, he slnnhed his throat with a razor. Once again medical skill Intervened and staved off death: But the thoughts of the doctor were with his dead daugh ter and despite constant vinil kept over him, he schemed another sui cidal attempt. Once more poison and this time physicians may have arrived too lnte. Karly today It was said at his KnKlewood homo that he had only a "fiirhUnff chance" to live. A friendly community was eager ly watching the dual edm-d fight the physicians to save their pa tient and the patient's desire for death.

The county attorney had prepared a format charge of imir dor ng.iln.st Dr. l'.iazer und was waltlnj? for the word that he would recover to serve It.

Novel IDAH McGLONE GIBSON j The Wrath Trom Above At the moment mi on ton fell onto the pavement there was the most terrific flash of lightning fol lowed Instantly by a crash ot thun der which aecmed lo shake the earth. My surprise and terror at El ton's fall and the hock ot the Thunder caused my nerve to con tract In such a way that the auto mati; I was holding fell from my hand. For a moment I wondered If I should go down the steps to the man lying there and then X decid ed that the rain would bring him to and he probably would leave me In peace at least for the rest of the night. I had gotten into the house and closed the door before I wns really conscious that I had dropped the revolver. I opened the door to get it and in the shaft of light I saw my husband, Rodney Evan, bend ing over the Inert form of Elton Vobb. Immediately I remembered tn the reverberations of that thunder I had heard the crack of a revolv er. My husband looked up quickly In the light. I ran down the steps and tried to pull him away. "Go into the house," he commanded. "You must not be found here. El lon Fobs Is dead. I have the gun." "Both of them?" I asked, know ing that the gun which had drop ped from my fingers had not kill ed Elton I-'oss. My husband looked surprised, but after his tlrat glance at me he turned about and fumbled a bit on tho sidewalk and said: "Yes, here It Is. 111 put It back In his pocket. It must have fallen out." That Recounts for my husband's fingerprints on that gun. At the 'ime, of course, I nm ashamed to say that I thousM him guilty of the murder. The police came up at this mo ment. The rest of the story ha been recounted in the newspaper excopt my potaeaion of my own gun which I knew had not been fired. My husband had dropped It Into the pocket of hi overcoat and while the officer was telephon ing from my studio he found the chance to drop It behind the cush ion of my divan . After going to the station with the detectives a;id the police Kod ney came back to me and as ter-ror-strickin as we buth were, the gates of 1'aradUe opened to us, for there came the knowledge of each of us, that however sin-laden the other might be. because of our great love we would always stand together. "Stop, Jim. I don't want to hear any more. The rest of Kathlyn's story may be all right for the pa pers, but do you realize that ve are wasting valuable time? We must find that other woman. Where had we better begin?" "Why, the easiest way Is to call Stcdman and find out the name of the girl ho took away from Foss." "Is she tho woman he's been try ing to protect?" "Probably not. Don't you re member the woman wrote to Foss the day he was murdered and told him that Stcdmau had cast her off?" "Let's phone him and aak him anyway." The telephone operator at the apartment house' said: "Mr. Sted man left wotd tha he was not to be disturbed by anyono until to morrow morning," and broke the connection. Instead of leaving the telephone Starmount called another number. "Is this Dr. Johnson? "Oh, hello, doctor. This Is Dick Starmount talking. I called you u; to ask If you csulil. off-hand, name ine dote a of the young women who have tuberculosis among your patients around the village." There was a moment's hesita tion. Jim Kirby knew that Dick was listening Intently and he heard: "You have Just named the woman who killed Elton Foss. Give me her address. Thank you, ' Goodbye." "Who ts It, Dick? Who Is itt Give me her name." Handing Jim his hand and grab bing his own. Dick Starmount made for the doer, aimost shouting us he went: "Why. It's Feggi Blaeklon. Why I didn't think ol her I do not know. I heard hef voice as we were putting Kathlya Into the ambulance, but when I tried to find the owner of the voice she was gone. I've had her hat fo days." "Peggy 11 lack ton she was the toast of the town. You don't mean to say you've got one ol thwe mannish .tailors she always wore? Where did you find It?" "Mandy found it under the steps in front of Kathlyn's studio. Let'i pick up Skelton on the way. W might as well have one of the de tectives with us, for we are on th right track now." Hastily assembling Skelton and two other police officers, tho men drove to Peggy Blackton's flftt just off McDougal St. On the way Star mount told the new developments tu Skelton. As they walked up the rickety stairs they heard a terrific cough ing. and entering, found a gin porpper on the pillows of her bed, while from her mouth the re ft ream of life was flowing. Defore anyone could speak Skel ton brutally said: "Are you Peggy Uinckten?" "I am," she answered. "Then I have come to arrest yoi for the murder of Elton Foss." "Hut I didn't kill him. Why .should I kill tho only man I evei loved? I didn't kill Elton Foss. but about an hour ago killed th person who killed him."
