Washington, June 1. Thomas
R. Marshall, war time vJce-preel
dent of the United States died hero
today.
He passed away at the New
Willnrd hotel he to, where he had
been 111 for several days with a
cold and a heart affection.
The end came unexpectedly as
the former vice-president had
shown nomo improvement In the
week ho had been confined to
his hotel room nnd plana had been
made for his return to his homo
In Indianapolis some time this
week.
1'iUl t'ollows Rally
Accompanied by his wife, Mr.
Marshall came here a week ago
today. On his arrival he went to
the hotel, com plaining of great
exhaustion. When physicians were
summoned It wns found he had
Buffered fro ik a heart attack. Ho
regained strength gradually how
ever, and soon wan In such a con
dition that It was possible for Mrs.
Marshall to leave the bedside to
attend to various personal errands.
Death resulted from a recur
rence of the heart attack which
ho suf feted, a week ago. Tentative
plans were made for burial at Mar
lon, 1ml., near his father and
mother and a foster child who
died recently.
Was Rending Illble
When the end came he was sit

Illble to which he had turned
throughout life for consolation and
guidance to whose pascnes he
often delved In his office adjoin
ing the senate chamber in mo
ments which his presence was not
required as president of the sen

Mrs. Marshall was In an adjoining
room. Suddenly slumping down
upon the pillows, ho passed away
without a word and apparently
without pain.

AIMED
State Treasurer Kay Puts
Blame For Financial
Tangle On Governor
And His Friends.
Governor Pierce and 13 state
senators were flayed by State
Treasurer Kay today In an address
before the Salem chamber of com
merce for plunging the state Into
the financial morass in which it Is
now floundering. Nine of the
senators, he eald, were republi
cans who yielded to the Influence
of the only four democrats In the
senate, and among the nine he
specifically mentioned the two
Marlon county senators.
Hit Dennis Bill.
Kay went ou record today as op
josed to the Dennis resolution, to
be voted on in November, 192G
and which would Inhibit the as
sessment of income or inheritance
taxes in Oregon v?r a period of 15
years. Ho explained that while
he opposed the recent state Income
tax, now repealed, he would favor
an income tax under proper condi
tions. One reason given for op
rosing the income tax act of J 92 i
was that the federal government
assesses a very heavy income tax
The main Issue before the 1923
legislature, said Kay, was whether
the legislature would put the gov
crnor In n hole, or tho governor
would put tho legislature In n
hole.
"I have to admit," be said,
"that the governor succeeded
with the aid of a group of sena
tors who stood by him."
P State in Hole.
The governor didn't stop with
putting the legislature In a hole,
said Kay, but put the whole slate
i.i a hole and he declared that the
governor with the aid of Jefferson
Myers, then state treasurer, vio
lated the law In falling deliberate
ly to levy a sufficient state tax,
and that they did it for no other
purpose than out of revenge for
the repeal of the slate income tax,
He pointed out that the income
tax was passed by the people by n
majority of only about uOO an I
was repealed by a majority of
about 14,000.
"Prior to the enactment of the
income tax,' siid Mr. Kay. "the
.si ate tax levy was about 3.2f
mills. After the repeal of the In
come tax. when the tax commis
sion made its stats levy Inst De
cember, it was Its duty to go back
to the old levy in order to provide
funds that would not be forthcom
ing from the income tax. Hut In
stead, by the vote of Governor
I'icPCe and Mr. Myers, It levied
only about 1.85 milts, or about
$1,225,000 less than was neces
sary. This made it Incumbent up
on thp legislature to do something,
so the revenue b?ws, like the tt
haceo tax and the tithing bill wer?
the result. I be ineve a majority
uf the legislature was against
these, but there was nothing else
tc- do. since the governor, with
the aid of the 11 senators would
have been able to veto a measure
providing on additional state tax
levy."
Kay said he believed the gov
ernor made a mistake In vetoing
the bill for a special election next
September, but rreotted him with
good fntih In this, explaining that
he was informed the governor
vrtoed It because few people would
"ote at a special election and con
sequently there would he a danger
that the Dennis resolution would
carry.
Emphasis was placed on the fact
that the state must carry a seri
ous deficit for the next two years
fit lpast, or until tho next legisla
ture meets, due to tho fact that
under tho 6 per cent tax HmitA
toin amendment of the constilu
t:on nn adequate state levy cannot
be made next December on tiir;
basis of the levy of last December.!
the next slate levy, he said, can
rot go above $2,0.10 000 for tha'l
reason, a figure which Is inade
quate to meet state need. I
"To meet the situation, h1!
said, "the state must now violate
t own consttltntlnn by going In-
to debt over the conftltutlonl I
amount In order to pay Its bllhr. J

PAY COACHES
University Maintains Two
Offices At $3000 a Year
Each Which Are Frills
Without Excuse.
(By Harry N. Craln)
There Is opportunity for the re
gents of the University of Oregon
to effect numerous small econom
ics, which will amount to consider
able in tho aggregate, If they are
as bent upon economizing as they
purport to be.
For one, the practice of paying
part of the salaries of athletic
coaches out of public funds might
fittingly be discontinued. Of
course, these payments are made
in the guise of salaries for assist
ant physical education instructors,
but to anyone familiar with ath
letics at the university the camou
flage Is apparent. The use of ath
letic coaches as physical education
instructors never has and never
will work out effectively or eco
nomically. Too much of the time
of the coaches Is given over to
their tennis, ana they are all too
much inclined In scoff and neg
lect routine physical educntlon nc
tivltics.
Six Coaches Paid
Six such combination coach In
sfructors appear on the payroll of
the university for the year ending
October J, 1924.
Ohas. A. (Shy) Huntington re
ceived from the university $1500
for that year's work. He was foot'
ball coach.
The name of George E. Bron-
aush appears on the payroll for
$90 for three months work as In
structor and coach of golf.
Rudolph Kahl received $2000. He
Is an instructor In swimming nnd
coach of tho va rsl t y iw I m m I n k
and soccer tennis. Donald K. Park
also instructor in swimming, and
coach of the freshmen swimming
squad received $ :j GO.
W. J. Kclnhart, banketbnll and
baseball coach, was listed as an In
flructor in pbyical education and
ws paid $1000.
Bnrl Widmer, paid $2000 as an
Instructor, Is also wrestling coach.
Two I'd Id I30OO Fif h
Jn addition to this, as has al
ready been touched upon to some
extent, the university Is paying a
salary of $3600 a year to Virgil
Karl, director of athletics. Karl's
position is not only one which
should be supported out of ath
letic funds, but Is without Justifi
cation for ertstnnee If the physi
cal cdiicatloi deportment nnd the
athletic teams were entirely di
vorced, as they should be.
Another frill for which the peo
ple are paying $3000 a year Is the
office of director of student loan
funds and student adviser. Why
a lftiin fund ncKreKallng only $7,
000 should nerd a full-time admin
istrator, or what advice the stu
dents need they cannot get and do
not get from their own major pro
fessor and the dean of men Is both

Chicago, June 1. (A. P.)
Conflicting stories confronted po
lice today in their efforts to ac
count for a mystery fire which
caused the death of Reynolds
Parsons, wealthy broker and club
man in his apartment In a fash
ionable North Side neighborhood.
Firemen found Parsons' body,
partly clothed, In the burned
drawing room of his home yester
day. In the apartment at 'he Imo
were Mrs. Parsons nnd J .thins
King, a policeman who said he
had accompanied the broker
homo several hours before.
Mrs. Parsons suffered slight
burns on her fnco nnd hands
while King was severely burned
and also injured when he fell to
the ground from a second story
win clow.
Wife's Stories Vary
Mrs. Parsons said that she did
not know of her husband's death
when slip greeted firemen ho
entered the apartment. At f Ir.-tt
she told the police that she and
Mr. Parsons returned home nt
10:20 o'clock Saturday night. She
later fixed tbe time at 1:30 a. m.
Sunday and said she had retired
immediately. Neighbors, however,
reported they had heard the two
talking loudly in front of the
building about 4 : 30 o'clock In
the morning.
Awakened by smoke about 10
a. m., Mrs. Parsons summoned a
Japanese servant and roundel the
alarm. The Japanese said that

Says Effort To Curb

its fight to compel children to at
tend public schools.
The court held that the states
in enforcing com,,uinoiy education
laws, cannot require the attend
ance of children in public schools,
10 uie exclusion, of private or pa
rochial schools.
The Oregon compulsory educa
tion law, requiring children be

tend public schools, therefore wua
declared Invalid.
Would Destroy Schools
The decision had been awaited
with unusual Interest because of
the peculiar circumstances of lbs
litigation and because many other
states have compulsory education
laws. Tho Oregon law was at
tacked by h'i Society of the
Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus
and Mary nnd the Hill Military
Academy. Througuout the contro
versy there were many charges
that the statute bad he Inspirert
by the Ku Klux Klan.
Justice Key nulds, delivering
the opinion for the court, said the
inevitable practical result of en
forcing the Oregon act would be
destruction of the present paroch
ial schools and other private pri
mary schools, which are engaged
In a kind of undertaking not in
