ONE SUSPECT
IS FREED 1
iE
Net of Evidence Tightens
On Stanley Sharpe, Who
Knew Dead Woman
Alibi Fails to Satisfy De
tectives Who Question
Him; Valdez Freed
U)S ANGELES, Cal., April 23.
VP) Freedom for one suspect held in
connection with the killing of Mrs.
Louise Unternalirer ai Culver City
near here, Tuesday night and the
tightening of the net of circumstantial j
evidence ahout the other, was predict-1
ed here today by officers working on i
the case. J
Louis Valdez, despite the bloodstains
on his clothing, is believed to be in
nocent of the crime, they say. Further
evidence has been gathered concerning
Stanley Shurpe, acquaintance i-f the
dead woman, the officers declared.
Inquost Tomorrow.
The iuquot of Mr 3. Uiiterunhrer's,
body which was found yesterday
morning with skull crushed tfnd al
most completely dl robed wilt be held
tomorrow.
Detectives who grilled Sliarpe booked
him on suspicion of murder when he
could not explnin satisfactorily where
be bad spent Tuesday night.
A neighbor of the modiste said she
was told by Mrs. Vnternahrer early
Tuei-d:iy night that fcharpe was com
ing to nee her at i) o'clock. Sharpe
said he went to a dance instead, and
while he failed to satisfy investigators
with this alibi, they admitted the
evidence agjiiiM him was far from
conclusive.
Residents Complain.
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.
Mrs. rntemahrer came here from
Hoise, Ida. She was 4S years o'd.

IN SHIP SALE
Plea of Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company Dropped
By Court
Further Action Expected to
Be Taken, Following De
feat of Injunction
WASHINGTON, AprU 23. The
final order dismissing the plea of the
Pacific Mail Steamship company for
an injunction against tho shipping
board was signed today by Justice
Hits in the supreme court of tbe Din
trict of Columbia.
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.
No Merit, Is Claim.
Assistant District Attorney AVest
oppoxed the additions of the words,
claiming thnt the bill had been con
sidered on its merits and bad been
found lo have no merit.

Loss in Grain
Fire Will run
Into Millions
CHICAGO, April 23. 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.

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

by committees of the state's lend ng

REFERENDUM 5
TO BE INVOKED,

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. Tho other two nre the so-called
