Leprosy Germ Plot
Insane Man's Myth
Inquiry Ended by Portland
Police When Nash is
Found Insane.
Fears of a hideous plot, nation
wide in scope and sponsored by Am
erica's enemies, to spread leprosy
germs throughout the United States,
were dissipated says the Oregonian,
when an examination of William
Nash, self-accused plotter, in Cir
cuit Judge Tazwell's . court, showed
the man to be mentally unsound. Dr.
William House, well-known alienist,
and W. 8. Cameron, special agent.
wno conauctea me examination unaer
orders from Judge Tazwell, found
that Nash is suffering from tabo
paresis, a form of softening of the
brain, in addition to being physical
ly unsound. He was committed to
the state hospital in Salem for treat
ment and observation.
Delusions and fancies had caused
him to write the letters about his
germ-spreading activities, he admit
ted under examination.
The records show that Nash had
been examined by a lunacy com
mission five years ago when he was
found not to be insane.
At the hearing Nash said he was
born in Michigan in 1878. He said
he had been married, but failed to
account for the present whereabouts
of his wife; that he was the father
ofl two children, one of whom he
said he could not locate; that he had
been a resident of Oregon for 12
years and during his residence in
Portland had worked as a peddler,
selling anything that people would
buy to "keep the wolf from the
door." He said he never had been
out oi his country, and that he was
Tint, n hnlshpviRt..
Police were disposed to drop fur
ther investigation against Nash as
a result' of his commitment to the
state hospital for insane.
A telegram was received from
Mrs. Edwards Baltuff of Tacoma,
sender of the recent message in
which Nash was declared a . link in
an international communist plot,
stating that she had taken informa-
possession in regard to
i.t.f.'.e federal authorities in
;ta,uc. 7 he letter was sent from
f ::.h"- information about Nash
' .u- j. i - ep oolice by a woman teti
it Lm rooming house in which
he resided. She declared that he was
violently opposed to the United
States government and spoke in
praise of the bolshevist regime in
Russia. She also asserted that he
received an unusually large amount
of mail, quite a number of letters
being sent to him from Brazil.
Poindexter Says
Let Farmers Fix
Own Price Lists
The Washington Bureau of the
Portland Journal says Miles Poin
dexter, ambassador to Peru, who re
cently announced his intention to run
for the United States senate again
next year in his home state, Wash
ington, has, in a formal statement,
unfolded a new farm plan, whereby
he proposes that farmers and stock
raisers shall fix for themselves the
prices for their products.
This he plans through a national
farm marketing association sanction
ed by federal law, whose sale func
tion, as he describes it, would be
to "fix reasonable prices in the same
manner that associations of manu
facturers fix reasonable prices on
their manufactures, labor unions on
labor, railroads on transportation,
banks on finance." He proposes that
the national marketing corporation
appoint agents in the principal mark
eting centers, who would fix the
prices in their districts, subject to re
view by the corporation itself, the
corporation ' in turn to be under
supervision of the department of ag
riculture. Penalties are proposed for
the purchase of farm products at less
than the prices fixed by the agents."
Poindexter estimates the cost of
supervision to the government at
$2,000,000 a year. His plan does
not deal with the question of the
surplus, and does not explain how
the prices fixed would be upheld
against an adverse world market.
He provides for marketing agents
in 43 cities, which are named. Six
of them in Pacific coast states and
three of the six in Washington state
Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane;
Portland, Oregon, and San Francisco
and Los Angeles, California.
Defendant Snubs
Eugene Court; Jury
Finds Him Guilty
Eugene. For the. first time in
the history of the local circuit court,
a man has been tried while absent
from the court. , L. Ginberg was
duly tried and convicted by a jury
Monday on changas of possession of
liquor, although all that represent
ed him in court was a five-gallon
can and its contents.
Ginberg was slated for trial on
Monday, but sent a telegram that
he had no intention of answering tta
call, and made a remark to the ef
fect that he had been "convicted in
lots better courts" than that over
which Circuit Judge Skipworth pre
sides.
The trial went through in ordin
ary manner and Judge Skipworth in
structed the jury, which filed out,
turned around, and came back . into
the courtroom immediately with a
guilty verdict. Sentence was set for
Wednesday, and . unless Ginberg
shows up his bail of $2000 will be
forfeited and a warrant issued for
his arrest as a' fugitive. ."

Students, Not Faculty
Drop Name of "Aggies"
Oregon Agricultural College The
use of the name "Oregon State col
lege" in the place of Oregon Agri
cultural college has grown out of the
general acceptance of the name by
students and alumni and is not due
to any ofifcial action of the college
administration Dressel C. Narver of
Portland, president of associated
students, asserted.
"Use of the term (Oregon State
college) instead of Oregon Agricult
ural college," said Mr. Narver, "has
grown among students and alumni
without any official action by the
regents or administration so far as
I know. ! . .
