GOOD CHANCE TO
SUIKIUND
Convicted Dentist,
Who Attempted Sui
cide Last Night, Still
Very Weak from
Blood Loss.
Hoseburg, Or., Oct. "21. Dr. Richard
II. Bruinficld, convicted murderer, who
attempted to commit suicide last night
by slashing bis neck, will live unless an
infection sets in, Di Charles V. Wade,
county physician, informed the . United
Tress today.
According to ' Dr. Wade, Brumfidd
lies in a semi-quuscioua state, weak
from loss of blood, with a slight fever,
but with a steady and practically normal
pulse force, showing he has yet a good
supply of blood.
Dr. Wade estimated Bruinficld ha
lost about a half-pint of blood before
Dr. A. 8. Sether could stop the flow lust
night. ;
"Brnmfield's condition shows slight
Improvement," Dr. Wade's statement
said. "He was in delirium throughout
the night, continually muttering that
someone had shot him. He appcarcs to
know nothing of the nature of his actual
wound. Ho will live unless utiforseen
complications arise."
According to Dr. Wade, Bruinficld
may have inflicted his injuries with the
sharp crowns on a removable dental
bridge taken from his mouth. The con
victed dentist's knowledge of the use to
which such an instrument could be put
to would allow this. It was thought at
first that Brumfiekl might have cut him
self with a piece of his glasses lense, or
u safety razor blade. These theories
haye been abandoned. -
Dr. Wade found three cuts on Brum
field's neck, one on tie left aide, three
Inches long and very deep, severing sev
eral minor veins and barely missing the
jugular. Two cuts ou the right side
were not so severe. One was two in
ches long and .almost as deep as that on
the left, while the other was a skin
wound.
Brumf fold's sentence tomorrow may
be postponed because of his condition, it
was Indicated.
' Trial Saps His Strength,
rtoseburg, Ore., Oct. 21. Physicians
today held in some doubt the recovery of
Dr. llichaid M. Itrumfield. convicted
murderer who last night was found in-'
conscious on his cell cot with his throat
badly slashed.
, Dr. A. S. Sether. who attended Brutn
flcld. t'eclared early today that the den
tist, had been so weakened by the last
two weeks of itrinl that It. was doubtful'
jet if he would rally from the shock of
the wound and the loss of blood.
Brumfleld was convicted at midnight
Wednesday for the murder of Dennis
Unwell, hermit laborer, the night of .Inly
'13. beheading the body and attempting
to burn it. The iron control which has
been the marvel of court "murder fans"
luring the gruelling two weeks just
passed, did not forsake Itrumfield until
niter his wife had visited him in jail yes
terday morning, and he had token leave
of his two brothers.
Is Given Opiate.
Thrr. tha former Koscburg Beau
Brmnniel broke down and wept in ter
rible grief. AH the efforts of his wife
failed to comfort him, but it was not
known until Inst night when i Sheriff
Kt,.fii.i. found his unconscious upon his
cot that he had been so grievously af-!
fected. Bruinficld last night was given
an opiate when he failed to sleep, and
(luring one of his periods of conscious
ness informed the sheriff that he bad
been shot.1
"I saw the flash and heard tne re
rnrl," Bruinficld told the officer.
Htarmer made an effort to have the
prisoner tell bini where the safety razor
blade with which he is supposed to have
made the attempt upon his life was hid
den. Bruinficld was too weak to talk.
Dr. Sether said today that while the
jugular vein was not harmed. Bruin
ficld having apparently nimed for that
vil li blnnd duet and failed to strike the
murk, nevertheless, the condition of the
ex-dentist is serious.

AVnshington, Oct. Tlu senate will
shortly lie inked to save home hiew. lu
response to a clamor raised about Pro
hibition Commissioner Hoynes' recent or
der to end home brewing by stopping the
sale of materials and implements requir

considering measures to get the issue
settled. Among these are:
1 A resolution calling on Ilaynes to
state by what construction of the lavf
he feels himself empowered to enforce
this ruling.
2 A set of amendments to Ihe Vol
stead law defhung-inoro specifically
and limiting more closely the prohibi
tion commissioner's powers.
3 Complete revision of the law with a
view to liberalizing it throughout. On
account of the existing legislative sit
uation, the effort to save home brew
may be deferred until the December
session. ,
Protests at f:rst appeared to come
principally irom tnosc business concerns

Wets in congress declare the country

fVliited .Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, Oct, 21. War-time pow
ers will not be invoked bv Presidents
Harding to deal with the threatened rail
road strike, it was learned on high auth
ority today. Although the use of the
war-time powers was discussed at. the
cabinet meeting; today, Harding takes
Uie position that the nation is at peace
and he will refuse wjir-time powers even
though thSs were, possible technically
prtulmg n finaj proclamation of peace it
wok learned.
The- president wn advised by cabinet
act which does not expire until a formal
proclamation of peace is issued army
reserves could ho called out to operate
th? trains. Secretary of War Weeks re
ported to the cabinet that he lins u com
plete tabulation of reservist throughout
the country who are skilled in various
branches of railroading. This force, to
gether witli volunteers who have already
offered their services in large numbers
would be sufficient, officials believe, to
operate enough trains to carry f(od and
fuel into Uie Inrger centers.
Hoover Presents Plans.
Kecrntjiry of ( 'ommerce 1 loover pre
'eirt(d to the cabinet hm plan of or
ganizing an extensive niolor truck sys
tem for emergenicy transKrtatiot) of
ncceMsiliPH,
Cabiuet officials, it was stated, take
the view liluit although any body of la
bor may haye Uie right to strike, it does
not have the right , to cut off the food
supply wf tilio nation.
Cabinet offieers differed in their
judgment as to whether tile men would
actually lrike, Home believing tho strike
is nearer thun It ever has been, w'hile
otJiei-s doubt if the men will walk out
eveni thoug-h their lenders Insist upon It.
The force or public opinion has al
ready led rJiousamls-'of railroad employ
ed to change their minds about striking
and the pressure on ialior Teaders.ro cull
off Mie strike is coming from tJieir o'wn
ranks in larger volume every day, some
members of the cabinet behevo.
Has Record of Trucks.
With this voNt reservoir of transpor
tation (the motor trucks) supplemented
by trains operated by men who refuse to
strike or act as strike breakers, govern
mcitit officials nre confid'ut' enough es
sential commodities can be moved to pre
vent any suffering throughout the coun
try. The department of commerce is
planning to suggest to governors of all
the stales that preparationa be made to
commandeer trucks to movo food, fuel
and other supplies in tilie event the
strike mntero'lfizes. A complete record
of all trucks is iu the hands of state
authorities, beenuse of the motor ear
system. Interstate movement of sup
plies will be directed by flu federal
government but the main responsibility
for keeping the thousands of communi
ties supplied with commodities neces
sary to their existence would be placed
in the hands of governors who would be
assisted by mayors and Hoover's plan.
Hoover, in the event of a strike, 1 also
mnkiug preparations to conserve the
gasoline? supply of the country which
would be vital to his truck transporta
tion system.

The tournament committee of tho Ku
(Cene Country club Is preparing to send
out the first of next week letters of In
vitations to all of the golf clubs In west
ern Oregon asking them to take part in
western Oregon tlolf tournament to
he held In Eugene Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. Ptyvembrr 17, IS und 1!. The
western Oregon golf championship will be
decided at this tournament, the present
plan being to offer suitable prizes for
the winners of the meet.
The main purpose In calling together
the members of golf clubs In the west
ern part of the state is to consider the
organization of a Western Oregon Golf
association for the purpose of staging
an annual tournament of thin kind and
for an organization of golfers to pro
mote this sport.
The tournament Itself will start with
a (nullifying round on Thursday, IK holes,
with eight to ijtuillfy. On Friday the flrat
round and ncmi-ifinals, 18 holes, and on
Saturday the finals, Ht holes. For those
who do not qualify there have been
flights of eight each arranged so that
they will not be eliminated entirely from
playing golf during their visit In Kugene.
Arrangements have been made for the
finalists to play their matches on Sunday
if they prefer.
Selection of November 17, IS and 10
was considered advisable, in spite of the
fact that the dates are coincident with
the University of Oregon Homecoming.
It was thought that many who were coin-
hie to nttend Homecoming would like to
take pnrt In the tournmnent and that the
Joint attraction would interest a large
number who would not care to attend
otherwise.
The eutrnnee fee for those wishing to
compete In the tournament has Iteen
pinned at one dollar. Although this date
has been arbitrarily set this year by the
Kugerfe clni hereafter, should an nsso
riution be formed, the date will full to
the selection of the association. The tour
