these rates may apply to grain, hay

COURT BATTLE
LOOMING OVER
WIGFALL'S WILL
Portland WV-Possibility of a court
battle over the $60,000 Insurance
policy left by Charles Y. Wlgfall,
young Portland attorney who died
from a gunshot wound two weeks
ago, was seen Tuesday. Mrs. W. W.
McCredie, wife of Judge- McCredle,
WtgfaU's law partner, was named
beneficiary of the policy, but Mrs.
McCredle declares she and Wlgfall
had an agreement under the terms
of which she was to distribute the
insurance among 20 or 25 other per
sons in case of Wlgfaus death. A
wui purported to have been signed
by Wlgfall. directed distribution of
approximately $40,000 although he
naa no private fortune.
An Insurance man said Monday
night theie Is a possibility the com
pany that Insured Wlgfall may re
fuse payment on the policy.
"It Is highly Improbable," he said,
"that If Mr, Wlgfall had named his
friends directly as the beneficiaries
of the will his application for the
policy would nave been accepted by
the company. In other words, every
person named under the policy
would have been a potential threat
and the risk would have been too
great.
"Whether the policy actually will
be contested is not known as yet."
inner insurance men termed the
agreement with Mrs. McCredle for
disposition of the insurance amount
ed to a "variety of fraud."
Wlgfall a death has been called
suicide by a coroner's jury, although
his friends Insist he was murdered.
He told friends shortly before ho
died that he had been held up and
shot by a robber when he refused to
give up his watch. With a bullet
wound under his heart he drove
five miles to his home. The shooting
occurred near the Interstate bridge
at Vancouver, and the revolver be
lieved to have been used In the kill
ing was found some distance away.

MISHEARS
BAILEY TALK
ON LEADERSHIP
Leadership, with the ability to rls
above special Interests, localities and
different factions; cooperation with
the people of the state who are rea
dy and willing for such leadership
in an eiiort to solve the problems of
the state, not In a political way but
along the line of the greatest bene
fit to the greatest number of peo
ple, was pledged before the Kiwanls
club Tuesday noon by Edward F.
Bailey, state senator from Lake
county, and democratic nominee for.
governor at the November election.
Political labels mean little In the
final analysis, and the intelligent
vot:r win iook at tne background cl
a candidate, ascertaining his his
tory end policies, before casting a
vote," Bailey declared. "If elected
governor In the fall I will continue
my policy of making up my own
mind and there is no one in position
to dictate my activities or change
my policies. My record In the legis
lature has proven my ability to co
operate with members of the other
party and I was never discriminat
ed against simply because I was a
democrat. If elected I will be con
tent to let my record of constructive
accomplishments stand 'rather than
the amount of publicity I may have
received."
Three considerations should be
given a candidate for governor, Sen
ator Bailey asserted. First the man
should be able to carry on the ad
ministrative duties of office, a point
generally lost sight of in-a political
campaign, as success depends in a
great measure upon appointments
to office and the kind of men con
sulted in regard to policies. Second
ly the duties are legislative as well
as executive and experience along
this line should bear weight. Thirdly
initiative and endeavor to carry out
progressive policies Is needed to keep
pace wun tne progress ol tne state.
Careful examination of his pedl
gree and past performances was
urged by Senator Bailey in conclud
ing nis address. Born in Lane coun
ty, he attended district school, Eu
gene high school and later the Uni
versity of Oregon, from which he
received his law degree, obtaining
early experience in the office of
Weatherford & Weatherford In Al
bany prior to the war. In 1917 he
lnllsred In the U. S. Marine corps as
a private, going to officers' training
scnooi wnere ne graduated second
highest in his class, leaving the ar
my In 1919 with the rank of first
lieutenant, and opening his own law
office In Junction City where he re
sides at present. He was a member
of the house of representatives in
1923 and served In the senate during
the 1927 and 1929 sessions of the
legislature. In 1924 he was appoint
ed a member of the bonus commis
sion, serving continually until he
resigned to become a candidate for
the democratic nomination for gov
ernor. He is now president of the
Lions club in Junction City.
