Salem, Or.— Harry Minto, superin tendent o f the Oregon penitentiary, was ahot and killed at 11'80 Tuesday night a few miles north o f Albany, by Otto Hooker, an escaped convict. A few hours earlier, Hooker had shot and perhaps fatally wounded J. J. Benson, city marshal of Jefferson. A fte r Hooker had shot Marshal Ben son, Superintendent Minto started di rectly for Albany to head off the fu g i tiv e convict. Returning north from Albany in company with Guard John son, he came upon Hooker. Minto and the convict opened fire ut about the same time, Minto using shotgun and the convict a revolver. A bullet hit Minto in the head, k ill ing him instantly. Hooker escaped amid a hail o f shots fired by Guard Johnson. Hooker evidently was not hit. He was seen an hour later near M illersville station, some distance south o f Jefferson. The gun with which Hooker killed Minto had been taken from Marshal Benson at Jefferson, the convict hav ing shot the officer while they were scuffling. Hooker escaped freta a gang of 26 convicta grubbing brush a mile south o f the penitentiary When Hooker slipped into the brush from the field where the gang o f pris oners was at work, he was not missed Immediately.

F ifty persons were believed to have been crushed to death under falling walls or burned to death while pinned in the debris. Search among the ruins is proceeding, the workers cen tering their efforts on the tangled mass o f lumber and bricks which had been the department store of Maddin & Co., where it was feared the bodies of many g irl and woman shoppers and employes would be found. The property damage was estimated at $600,000. A score o f fires caused by the flaming gasoline, which was thrown for blocks when the car ex ploded with a terrific detonation, were got under control after two hours’ des perate work by the small local fire department, aided by every able-bodied man in the city not assisting the in jured. The city immediately was placed under martial law. The explosion wrecked an entire block o f buildings in the heart of town and precipitated a scene of panic. Along Main street from the station to the Whittington Hotel, every building was demolished, and on the opposite side o f the street the plant of S w ift & Co., a two-story rooming house and cafe and other business buildings were razed. assumed by the Imperial government. This became known after a confer ence Monday between President W il son and Secretary Lansing, at which the latter submitted a note given him in New York by Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassdaor. N o announcement was made after the W hite House conference. Secre tary Lansing said merely that it was inadvisable to comment on the situa tion while the negotiations were still confidential. He declined to say what the next step would be, but it was learned later the German Ambassador would be asked to come to Washington soon to receive the view which the American government takes of the last German note. Count von Bernstorff is fully author ized by his government to conduct the submarine negotiations. The situation has improved to the extent that there is no danger o f an immediate break in diplomatic rela tions, as the note affords an oppor tunity for further negotiations. It was said reliably that final re fusal by Germany to meet the A m eri can viewpoint on the Arabic case might bring atiout the threatened rup ture tn diplomatic relations. Just what the details are on which the two governments are in conflict was not definitely known, because secrecy has enveloped the negotiations. In general, it was learned that Ger many, after examining the evidence submitted by the United States, came to the conclusion that her submarine commander erred in assuming that the Arabic was intent on ramming the German submarine when steering to rescue the passengers on the British steamer Dunsley.

He stopped, bit his Up and looked at her keenly. Rosamund could not be awak- ward or ridiculous. The dedallan gods had granted her the superb gift of grace. She sat In a limp, dejected but perfectly graceful attitude, a picture of grief and wounded pride. A keener man would have looked for more aban don In ber woe, a touch of the gro- tesqueneas of despair, something of convincing Intensity. Perhaps Hall himself, at any other time, when hla mind was free, might have had a sus picion that all was not genuine But now he saw only a woman who loved him tenderly, aDd on whose emotion he had carelessly played. A wave of tenderness for her swept over him— regret for his having touched her keen nerve; but It was colored, also, with the pride of the male in his con quest. The chare had already excited him. She was there, beautiful and fond, his victim— conquered by his force of personality. Try as ha might to subdue this baseness, his egotism rose triumphant over his sympathy. The woman was his! Then, with the thought, a lightning flashed In his brain. Here was the thing to do! He must be married be fore midnight. Why not Rosamund for his bride?

"Then you do really lova me, Rosa mund?” Hall asked, after a minute of demonstration. "Oh. H a ll!" Sue ran ber fingers through his hair. Hall had a queer new eensatlon of pleasure.
