The other suspect, Louis Valdez. had been brought to tbe city jail on coinpalnt of Hollywood residents that he was molesting women. An autopsy performed last night revealed that the woman had been criminally att.icked and then beaten to death, probably with the piece of spiked plank which was found, cover ed with blond Mains, a few yards from her brdy.

Counsel for tbe Facifia Mail Bald bhey would advise the court later as to their decision on a further effort to restrain the board from conaum mating its sate of the five president type ships now operated by that com pany to tho Hollars interests. . Motion Denied. Before the order was entered Jus tice Hits denied a motion which would have added the phrase '.'without pre judice to the dismissal decree. The court decided several days ago to dismiss the Pnclfic Mail's pleu, but withheld .signing the order to allow thnVompany to enter on oppcnl" to the court of appeals. This appeal was not forthcoming today. In asking for inclusion of the word- "without prejudice" to the. order of dismissal, to Pacific Mail attorneys rsked an opportunity to consult fur ther as to any possible legal claim they might have against the shipping board which was not covered in their Jjill of complaint.

More than 2,000,000 bushels of com and oats be longing to,the Grain Marketing Cor poration, were destroyed in a fire which started shortly before midnight, burning two wooden elevators and threatening an industrial section on tho south side before U was subdued early today. Tho loss was estimated at $2,250,- 000 by E. F. noienbaum, president of the Rosenbaam Grain corporation, through which tbe elevator were leased to the farmers' cooperative or ganization. Destruction of the grain he esti mated at ? 1.500.000 and of the struc tures, among the oldest wooden ele vators hero at $730,000. The losses were adequately covered by insur ance he said. Blazing grain pouring into the South Branch of the Chicago river clogged tho stream and threat ened shipping, forcing withdrawal of two fire tugs. Search was started after the fire for an aged watchman and his wife, believed to have been quartered in one of the buildings. I Even though the Corvnllis sports men's association gnlned a member on the state game commission when Mike Bauer was appointed to the va cancy canoed when Governor 'Pierce ousted Ben Dorris, tho appointment Is apparently not satisfactory to all tbe members even of the Corvallis organization, according to a letter received today by W. H. "Obak" Wal lace, from C. S. Whllmore, editor of Sportsman and Fancier, and secre tary of the Oregon Field Trlala club. Lettor Is Written Mr. Whit more wrote a letter to John Camp, president of tlio Cor vnllis Hod and Gun club, he snid, de claring be believed every sportnnian's organization In Oregon should go on record against any change in the working force of tho game commis sion. Although he declared1 It would probably not bo advisable for the Cor vallis group to put in n protest against the appointment of one of their own men from Corvallis, Mr. Whit more naUl he thought it would be well for the club to adopt resolutions endorsing the work of the commis sion, and protesting against any change in the personnel In the pro gram conservation now being rnrried out. Mr. Camp Speaks In a petfonal interview, Mr. Camp told Mr. Whitmore that the Corval lis club was willing to take nny ac tion considered advisable for the bent interests of Oregon sportsmen. The final word in Pen Dorris' re moval has not been poken, Mr. Whit more says, and further action awaits invent igati'-ns now being conducted by committees of the state's lend ng sportsmen.

REFERENDUM 5 TO BE INVOKED, ill Act of 1925 Legislature to Be Placed Before People On Ballot r' Papers Expectod to be Filed Tomorrow, Asking For Ballot Title SALEM, Ore., April 23. Oscar T. , Olsen, secretary of the Portland He- i tnil Tobacco Dealers' association and ; Tawrence McNary, Portland attorney, ! are here today making preliminary arrangements to invoke the referen dum on the tobacco tax bill enacted by the 1025 legislature. It was said that Iho papers will be filed with the secretary oO state tomorrow and re quest made of Attorney General Van Winkle for ballot title. While here today Olsen and Mc Nary conferred with Secretary of Stnte Koser and the attorney general. Ono anglo of tho referendum discussed was the number of names that will be necessary on referendum petitions pertaining to all measures on which the referendum is to be invoked. This question wan placed before the attor ney general several weeks ago by the secretary of state and Attorney Gen eral Van Winkle Is expected to hand down an opinion on this today. Names Increased Heretofore only about 8.000 namea were necessnry on referendum peti tions under the law providing that these should be five per cent of the vote cast for justice of tho supremo court in the laat previous . general ' election, but always heretofore It has happened that this vote was repre sented by the ballots cast for a can didate running without opposition. In the last election, however, there were n republican, n democrat, nnd nn in dependent enndidate In tho running, and if the petitions must have five per cent of the total vote cast for these tho number will be about 20,000. Tho tobacco tax act will be the third measure of the 3025 session on which the referendum is being in voked.
