Ore. May 22.— (Special)
— By a vote of more than
two to one, Klamath Falls
voters yesterday went to
the polls and rejected the

ono of the most bitter
staged here since the days
of the old court house
fight when the city was
torn asunder by rival
factions.
The commission - man-
ager plan was approved by
the chamber of commerce,
lumber operators and
merchants generally, but
organized labor and the
supporters of Mayor God-
dard were violently oppos-
ed to it.

Miss Maud Baldwin, daughter
of a prominent pioneer Klamath

covered this morning at the point
where Link River Flows Into Lake

Miss Baldwin, who was 47
years old, had been taking care
of her Invalid mother for many

parent unbalanced her mind. Is
