Sleep Confession Fol
lows Similar Murder In
Polk County Each Pro
moted By Same Trivial
Motive.
VANCOUVKIl. Wn May 3.
(JPt Clark county officers said late
today that Clifford Campbell, It!,
had confessed In n signed state
ment that he killed his efbptoyers.
Mr. nnd Mrs. Henjamin A. Nurlh-
rup, hy exploding a charge of dyn
amite under their farm house. The
Northrups were killed shortly af
ter 11:30 p. m., Wednesday. Their
house was demolished hy the ex
plosion of the blast of dynamite.
Dale M cMullen, prosecuting at
torney, said young Campbell told
hi in that Xorthrups hnd mistreut
ed him. Jle admitted, McMullen
said, that he had wailed until the
couple was asleep last "Wednesday
night, and then stealthily left
the house, took a box of dynamite
from a nearby shed, placed it un
der a sill directly benenth the
bed in which the Northrups were
sleeping, attached a fuse and ex
ploded the charge.
Campbell said he had "no idea"
that the box of dynamite he plac
ed under the house would kill the
couple in whose employ he wuh.
He said he plannerl to "cripple"
them. District Attorney McMul
len said the boy's statement gave
as his motive the fear- of being
discharged from the farm. He
said, too, that he resented the
"kidding" of Mr. and Mrs. North
rup. By crippling his employers, Mc
Mullen said, the boy hoped to re
tain his Job. on the, farm. .:.
PORTLAND, Ore., May 3. VP)
Two 15-year old farm boys were
in jails in Clark county, Washing
ton, nnd I'olk county, Oregon, less
than tiO miles apart tonight, fac
ing charges of murdering three
persons, two women and one man,
in two separate counties on the
same day for practically the same
reason the dcsi.re to drive an
automobile.
One of the youths is' Clifford
Campbell, who sheriff H. 13. Mc
Crite of Clark county, said con
fessed that he fired the blast of
dynamite which killed Benjnmin
Northrup, ft 5, and his wife, Mrs.
Louise Northrup, 51, and reduced
their modest farm home near
Heisson, Wash., to splinters.
The other youth is Dale Law-
son, who last night is said to have
confesssd to shooting and killing
Mrs. Cieorge Dickinson, 45, in her
farm home in I'olk county, near
Independence, Ore. Young Law
son was held to the grand Jury
today on a charge of murder. He
told W. W Harcombe, Polk coun
ty district attorney, he slew Mrs.
Dickinson because she objected to
his using the Dickinson automo
bile for a pleasure trip to Port
land. Campbell's alleged confession
followed four days of almost In
cessant questioning by Clark coun
ty authorities. Up until late to
day young Ca?npbell maintained
his innocence and said that the
blast which snuffed out the lives
of Mr. aijd Mrs. Northrup was as
much a mystery to him as to au
thorities. He said the blast
knocked him to the ground while
he was enroutc to round up cat
tle which he said had strayed.
The blast which killed the
Northrups in Clark county occur
red just before midnight Wednes
day and Lawson is said to have
shot and killed Mrs. Dickinson on
Wednesday morning.
In tho confession Campbell Is
said by Clark county authorities
to have made, the youth declared
he did not meaiOto kill the farm
couple but to cripple them be
cause they refused to allow him
the use of the family automobile,
a new small car. Campbell, ac
cording to authorities, admitted
his guilt to a serious
morals j
charge
The youth said Northrup !
had discovered him In the act of i
commltting a moral digression and
authorities said they believed this
coupled with the automobile
phase !ympted the youth to piuce
several slicks of dynamite under
the bedroom of the Northrups' and
fire it while they slept.
Sheriff McCrite said the bent
fenders of the new Northrup auto
mobile caused him to grill Camp
bell severely.
The sheriff said he
thought the youth had taken the
car irom the garage nnd either
benihe fonder when he backed
the car out or placing it back in
the gunue.
ClurlMcounty authorities said
they would arraign the youth Mon
day. ALTL'S, Okla., May 3.-F

SALEM, Ore., May 3. OP) In

members of the biinklng board
are invited to attend, but indica

less for him to attend tho meeting
since his views were expressed nt
the time the charter was denied
by the vote of the other two mem
bers. Schramm said ho would not
attend.
The Astoria citizens who peti
tioned for tho charter first applied
to the bank superintendent. When
he filled It they appealed to ho
banking board. The law provides
for no appeal from a decision of
the board. The only recourse of
the Astoria group, members of the
board believe. Is to uwit a change
of economic conditions in that
city and then make a new appli

Unconcealed tension prevailed
tonight In the so far comparative
ly calm ramps of Oregon Repub
licans and Democrats thirteen
days before the primaries May 16
and political observers, who have
been following the trend of the
present gubernatorial contest said
they firml) expected the i-oming
heolic days would unloosen a
flood of poiHun atmosphere.
The expected controversies be
tween the various candidates, par
ticularly in the Hopuhllcan field,
failed to develop during past two
months and observers said that
the trend has been toward the
outburst fully expected when cer
tain candidates followed,each oth
er in filing for the governor's
chair.
From an unbiased standpoint
the gubernatorial contest seems
to be between Governor A. W
Norblad and Harry L. Oorbett, nl
though the management of Char
les Hall said this was much to
their liking because they were
working on the quiet nnd did not
want their candidate to take a
front position.
George W, Joseph, senator,
whose entry Into the political
contest was looked upon much
as If a volcano was to have been
suddenly loosened, has failed to
cause much stir except for a fow
short Jabs at what he termed
power owners newspapers.
Observers saw to significant
Joint "Mttih'"trtu?netr':tlie Cornett

which nppeflred In nn eastern
Oregon newspaper which quoted
Joseph as saying to a friend that
"if you can not vote for me vote
for Harry Corbett," and the oth
er is .1. W. Bennett's expressed
hope that Corbett Is nominated.
Joseph, observers said, appar
ently understands that his chances
of success are poor and ho would
rather soo Corbett elected than
Governor Norblad with whom ho
has n feud.
Democratic developments lire
more difficult to estomate than
the Republican situation, becauso
the Democrats have taken the
state campaign silently, A. C
Hough, one of the four Demo

A Pilgrimage of Senti

I WASIIINC1TON, Way 3. (IP)
Two hundred and thirty-two wo
men, many of whose horizons have
been limited to rows of corn or
cactus and sage brush glimpsed
from their kftchvn windows, nro
tomorrow starting on a 6,000-mlle
journey by rail nnd steamer.
They arc the first contingent of
tho 0,000 Child Star widows and
mothers who will be tuken this
spring and summer on one of the
most unique Journeys of sentiment
ever undertaken by any govern
ment. They are to visit the graves
of their sons and husbands In the
war cemeteries In France.
Tho first woman to stnrt on the
pilgrimage was Mrs. Helen Slmkln
of Salem, Iowa. Mrs. Slmkln Is
05. Because no Sunday trains
run out ot Salem she was sched
uled to leave her home this morn
ing. She has been supplied by
the war department with a com
pleto Itinerary showing where ehe
will take a bus, where a train
and what time she will leave each
place, Kvery step of her trip has
been carefully mapepd for her by
Captain H. 13. Shannon, who, act
ing tor the quartermaster general
of the army, us charge of all trans
portation for the Oold Star pll
giiiringe. Ton women, who will Ball -with
the first contingent Wednesday
arrive here Monday morning on
their way to New York. They con
stitute the first group from the
west and south. They are Mrs.
Susie Shelton, Fayettevllle, Ark.;
Mis. Emma Taylor, Hunter, Ark.;
Mrs. Minnie Throckmorton, Red :

The war department has made no

will go to New York to see the
entire delegation of 233 women

Thoy leave at 11 a. m., on the
U. S. Linos steamship America.
A roooptlon at the city hall and
an evonlng entortalnmont has been
urranged for Tuesday,
The pilgrimages which will sail
from New York each week
throughout the summer, have
been arranged with military pre
cision and thoroughness. The wo
men ara relloved ot all responsi
bility and expense. No matter
how remote from civilization she
may live each woman has her
ticket delivered to her door by
agonts employed by the govern

from Sulom to that faraway grave
ofher son Frank In Surenes cem,
etery In France, has been sent to
every division point agent, every
conductor and brakeman along
her routo of travel. Thus It Is
with every woman making the
trip.
The little black and gold Identi

mother and widow, the blue and
gold badge pinned to her dreBS
will obtain for her such courtesy
and service as probably no group
of women traveling together has
over had.
