promise to pay 9100,000 after settle
ment of the estate. C. C. v Faiman,
head of the school of bacteriology,
told Robert K. Crowe, state's attorney
today.
The amount was decided upon,
Faiman said, after he first had de
manded a quarter of a millllon dol
lars, reduced the amount to $200,000
and finally compromised upon a pro
mise of 5100,000, after numerous con
ferences with Shepherd. Faimun suld
that he advised the method of admin

herd as to further steps as to assure
the death of the rich youth.

Shepherd up to a time after McCUn-

Hhepherd was going away for a short
rest to return soon.
; Faiman's statement did not Incrim
inate Hhepherd In the actual manner
of administering the germs but said
the school head hud coached Shep
herd along that line informing him
bacilli best could be given in cold
water.
f Faiman's statement as announced
by the state's attorney said Shepherd
kept alive the germs In test tubes he
received originally for four or five
months, transferring them twice.
' The announced statement contained
a. question by Joseph Savage, assis
tant state's attorney, as to whether
Faiman realized the criminal aspect
from his own standpoint and his reply
that he did.
. "Innoculatlon of young McCllntock
With tuberculosis germs was discussed
but abandoned," Faiman said, "as the
disease would develop too slowly.
Diphtheria Innoculatlon was ' aban
doned," JFatman said because It per
haps would not work satisfactorily.
Finally typhoid was well developed in
young McCllntock.
Faiman said that he told Shepherd
about the course typhoid fever took
In different patients.
"Did you discuss the boy'B suscept
ibility?" Faiman was asked.
VYes," was his reply,

We also talked about , 'Billy' and
Shepherd said it was about time he
made his will and also about time to
dispose of him.
"He said it was up to nlm entirely
as to how the will was to be made
and that $1,000,000 was Involved.
"I asked him about. his cultures and
he said they were all right.
"I told him to be careful not to
Infect himself."
Shepherd said he would take care
of Miss Isabelle Pope, the youth's
fiancee, asserted Faiman, "because he
Jtust thought it would be best."
"Did he ever mention how the wit
nesses signed the will or if undue
influence was used to make McClln

"He told me that whatever he wild

missioner who officially assumed his

Salem instead of Portland. Cleaver
had headquarters In the Northwestern

Levens, state prohibition commission
er today gave informally his interpre
tation of the new law Imposing heavy
penalties on drunken automobile
drivers as the act is related to munic
ipal courts operating under city ordi
nances. .
City, ordinances now existing pro
vide much lighter penalties than the
new state law now effective, Mr.
Levens' opinion is that munioipul
judges may impose penalties accord
ing to their city ordinances but that
the state has the right to come In on
the cose at Issue and Impose the heav
ier penalty provided in senate bill No.

WM8 NEW SCANDAL
AS NltnAut
Oregon Compulsory Act Is
Likened to. Anti-Religious
Move By Soviet-Foisted
On People Hits at Re
ligious Liberty, Court Told.
WASHINGTON. Mar. 17. Assert
ing that a decision sustaining the
Oregon Compulsory school law would
ba the death knell to freedom and
religious llhwrty in this country Wil
liam D. Guthrie, as counsel for the
Society of the Slaters of the Holy
Names of Jesus and Mary, said those
sponsoring the law j would seek to
foist it upon the, people through a
constitutional amendment.
"No more far reaching or momen
tlous question of the tenets of the
rights of the people of lhlr freedom
of conscience and religious , liberty
has ever been submitted to this
court." '.'...
"The question," he said, "deeply
touches the springs of th erlghts of
constitutional liberty and those
sacred 9rights of the parents which
have everbeen most highly cherished
here. Our very great government was
established to secure and protect
those rights." . .
The underlying motive and intent
of the new law was as anti-religious
he said, as any soviet measure adopt
ed in Russia. It was being op posed, -he
added, not only by the Roman
Catholic church but by Presbyter
ians, Episcopalian, Jews and all whom
he described ' as the friends of the
constitution. . . . v

ment for the Society of the Bisters of

ing there Had beejrlhe taking of pro
perty and an .infringement of the
rights and liberties of the parents,
children and teachers in. violation of
the guarantees tf the federal consti
tution. ' WASHINGTON, March 17. Oral
argument was resumed- today in the
supreme court In tho. appeals brought
by Oregon to have sustained Its law
which would require children between
the age of 8 and 16 to attend schools
conducted by the state. : r -
Counsel for the state again advanced
the contention advanced yesterday
that the police powers of the state
were equally as potent in matters of
qducatlon as those of morals and
health, and Insisted that private and
parochial schools could be conducted
'under the new law In teaching child
ren before or after they had completed
the graded public schools. High effi
ciency of the public schools of the
state was asserted and the- court was
told that It should respect the decis-
Mo not the people at the polls In en
acting the new law. ,
Counsel for the Society of the Sis
ters of tho Holy Names of Jesus and
Mary and of the Hill Military acad
emy based their arguments largely
upon the ground that the new law
would be confiscatory and would de
prive those who are conducting pri
vute and parochial schools as well as
parents within the state, of tho liber?
ties and rights guaranteed by the con?
utltution. ...

Widow Seeks Money Wheedled
By Lady Wilson-Barker
From Rich Youth Court
Says Condition Too Com
mon Naval Expert in Case
LONDON, Mar. 17 Another "mys
tery case" involving persons of high
rank, came up before a British court
today when the suit of Mrs. Muriel
Waterhouse against Kir David Wilson
Barker, Lady Wllson-Dnrker, and R.
V. Sheldon, went to trial after coun
sel at tho judge's request hot! vainly
tried to effect out-of-court a settle
ment of the affair, the mere mention
of which Justice Sir Montague Sher
man said was a "scandul."
One of the. features of the case
which was merely docketed as una
involving fraudulent misrepresenta
tion was the declaration of Mrs.
Waterhouse's counsel that Lady Wilson-Barker
was the principal defen
dant and that Sir David, who is a
noted navnl expert and geographer,
was made a defendant because he Is
legally liable for her wrongdoing.
Outlining the case counsel said the
vlutl in of the alleged conspiracy was
tho late Alfred Francis Waterhouse,
son of a wealthy family, who first
met Lady Wilson-Barker nt Harrow
gate, the fashionable watering place,
In 1896. His widow was now seeking
counsel declared, "to recover money
extorted from him."
She alleges that Lady Wilson
Barker secured large sums of money
from Waterhouse through fraudulent
representations with Sheldon.
Discussing the character of the cose
which was barely outlined, counsel
said It was one of a "kind which of
late has been too common."
"If it represents In any way the
normal state of Kngllsh society," he
added, "then I am tempted to think,
with, exposure after exposure. ; that
strengthening of the law is the only
remedy. But I am sure It does not
represent anything but a vory excep
tional case." ,
