These stories are true about Louis

were former Washington newspaper
men and more recently In charge of

They do not belong to any faction
here and therefore should be accept
able to the general run of the press
corps.
Behind the further '"postpone
ment" of the disarmament conference
Is the final confession that a year of
effort has been wasted.
The nice words that are being said
about trivial agreements cannot cover
the fact that the conference was one
of the world's worst flops. Prank
Slmonds called the turn exactly be
fore It ever started.
The decision to "postpone was
peached after Norman Davis confi
dentially advised the state depart
ment that he might as well be play
ing tlddle-de-winks in Palm Beach.
He talked himself deaf, dumb and
blind at London, Paris, Rome and
Geneva, but got nowhere.
His inside reports will make good
reading In future histories. They
show the Irony of International ideal
ism in a pessimistic world.
The men In charge blame the situ
ation rather than any particular na
tion for the underground oollapse of
the conference.
Prance went further In secret con
ferences than she ha ever gone be
fore. Hbr concessions led the officials
at one time In the negotiations to
predict a settlement. The French
otters were not fully met by either
Germany or Italy. The good offices
of Oreat Britain were entirely miss
ing, due to her economic plight. Ja
pan waa conducting a war at the time
and could not be bothered.
If Roosevelt can do any better with
this crowd he will have to be a magician.
Captain Walter W&nderwell, globe
trotter and suspected war-time spy,
mysteriously slain aboard his yacht
off Long Beach, Cal.. in a aea-thrlller
as strange as fiction, was a visitor to
the Rogue River valley last summer,
spending several days In this city and
Oranta pass. He endeavored to in
terest a number of Josephine county
people In a winter cruise aboard his
yacht. He waa accompanied by his
wife and two children, and made an
auto trip to Crater lake.

WOCKNER ESCAPE
NO SURPRISE FOR
LOCAL OFFICIALS
The escape of Warren Wockner, In
Wisconsin Saturday while In the cue
today of Ernest Phillips, Illinois dep
uty, en route to Wataeka, 111., to face
a kidnaping charge, with yeara lb
prison ahefcd, waa no surprise to Jack
son county official, Wockner boasted
while held In the county Jail that he
would escape, If an opportunity of
fered, and he made good.
Wockner and hla captor, Deputy
Phillips were old acquaintances, ac
cording to Sheriff Ralph Jennings.
When the officer arrived to take him
back, Wockner said:
"Dad. I think a lot of you altnoat
aa much aa I do my father, but you
will never get me to the penitenti
ary." Phillips amlled at the boast, with
the announcement that good care
would be taken.
According to the aherlff, Wockner
also told prisoners In the county jail
he would escape, as "I will be an old
man when I'm loose again."
Besides the kidnaping charge In
Illinois, with a 25 year minimum sen
tence, Wockner also faced charge in
Florida, California, and Washington.
Local authorities say that two men
should have been aent to return
Wockner, aa the strain of three daya
and nights watching on the train, la
too much for one official. Wockner
was chained to Phillips at night and
In the day time wore an "Oregon
boot." While tbe offloer slept, Wock
ner unloosened the chain and lied.
Wockner was arrested two weeks
ago by state polloe In a cabin six
miles from Trail. He haa relatives
living in that section and In Gold
Beach, Ore. He said he had been In
the aouthern Oregon district for five
or six months and In hiding most of
the time. He had previously escaped
from Florida and California author
ities. Wockner during hi stay In the
county Jail was an Ideal prisoner and
gave no trouble.
