F. I Cheyenne, Wyo., Dec. 15. Though he lias been under the third degree num erous times since his nrrest here, Wil liam F. Smythe reiterated today he is not George Bartholomew, who is wanted in the "green trunk murder" of John Linnd of Portland, Oregon. His attitude is one of cold, calm confidence. He declares he knows ab solutely nothing of the murder, and his story apenrs so straightforward that Chief Kmbrey is convinced, despite a resemblance to photos of Bartholomew, that Smythe is not the man wanted in Portland. However, to satisfy the Port land police, Embrov last night forward ed several good photographs of the prisoner. ' i will be discharged na soon as the Portland authorities have n chnnco to investigate further," saiil Smythe to day. ''I am not in the lenst worried about the outcome of this case." Neverthless, the resemblance between photographs of Bartholomew and the prisoner is so startling that the author ities here inten 1 to take no chances un til the Portland authorities can give Smvtlie the "once over." To this end, Detective Dny of Portland is reported en route here. One thing that appenrs In Smythe 's favor is a report that the identifica tion pictures of Bartholomew aro not really those of the man Portland seeks. If these reports prove tMU)C-J)ne.i tion of Smythe 's resemhlnilce jmvrhow that he merely looks like lnnian, who wn wrongly taken for Bartholomew. Investigation tends to the belief too, that Smythe can furnish an alibi that he was in Great Falls, Mont., on the iinv or tne murder.

These forces drove back Inspectors Guthrie and Dolan when they sought to learn just what had occurred within her boilers when she was 700 miles dis tant from here, destined from flattie to England. Though officials insist there was no spy plot in her erippling, the story runs along the waterfront today that when the smashed boiler tubes were finally inspected, they will show that these were rotten; that they may not have been properly inspected. Meantime, sailors are kept aboard her. A thorough quiz of them will be made before a vrediet is finally pass ed as to the mystery ship's disability.

WII1AMETTE NOTES Chnpol was the scene of an announce ment that may bring about a number of changes in the regular routino life of students. President Carl G. Doney spoke to mo students this morning wishing them all a Merry Christmas and a Hap py New Year while they were on thev vacation. In connection with this b stated that' hereafter a change in the lives of the students would be desired. Students should conform to the true Willamette spirit which was inculcated when the institution was founded. "W may remain old fashioned," said Dr. Doney, "hut we will be living closer to Jesus Christ." He then gave warning to those who indulged in use of pro fanity, drinking, dancing, dishonest methods, smoking and the keeping of late hours. To those whom this applies and who feel that they cannot change their habits and conform to pre scribed customs. "While you aro home at this Hnppy Christmas time, just stay there and don't come bock for tho op ening of school after vacation." Dr. Doney further commented on the irrev erence shown by students at the chc hour and stated thnt such conditions should not exist. The students should utilize their time and not loiter about the corridors, conversing in loud tones, but should rather avail themselves of study rooms provided for them. All of his talk was uttered with a feeling of sincercity, it wts dolivered with the in tention to cause students, who aro not making the most of themselves, to con sider whether , ofliW a readjustment would not make of them better men and women. The football sward committee, com posed of Coach Matthews. Manager Gil lette, Prof. J. O. Hall and Pres. Jewett of the student body, recently decided who were entitled to football awards for tho pnst season. Five sweaters were awnrderl, the men receiving them being Hsrold Tobie. Raymond Archibald. Clinton Archibald. Don Randall and Paul Hendricks. Those who were al ready letter men but who are eligible for the football award were: Capt. Earl Flegel, Paul Miller, Athil Irvino. The awards will not be presented until award day, sometime in February. No captain for next year's football team hss been chosen ns yet. The Websterisns program for this ev ening will be a live one.

It was also suggested that the prune growers of other coun ties take similar action. In order to bring out a much larger display of dried fruit at the state fnir, tho association went on record as de manding from the State Fair Board a much larger consideration in the way I "i I'n-miiiinp. ucrciotnre, xne prouiiums v. . & i ... ... . .....- ui-v Bu pmiiu mm uui icw were justified in making an exhibit. As this is one of tho largest industries of Oregon, the association feels that more attention should be given to having proper exhibits at each state fair. As the Willamette Valley is one of the greatest fruit districts 'of the west, the association will appoint a committee to consult with the secretary of agri culture through Congressman Hawley relative to the location here of an ex pert to study diseases of fruit trees and methods of spraying.

P. Bishop Upturned from San Francisco yesterday, where he has beon representing for tho past four months, the Pendleton Woolen Mills, having charge of their exhibit. After the elose of the fair, he superintended the packing and reshipping of the ex hibits to Pendleton. "With its unique building and dis plays, the Oregon exhibit was one of the interesting features of the fair.' said Senator Bishop. "With its dis plays of fruits and grains, grasses and other resources, Oregon received more than its share of attention, especially as it was on the same street with the New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Illinois state buildings, which were for social purposes only. Althouch Ore gon spent only $175,000, no state in the Union received so much advertising, or made such a favorable impression on tne eastern visitors." Senator BiBhop also commended the Oregon state commission for the ablo manner in which it conducted the work. Capable men were on tho commission, and with their assistants, nil were working at all times for the good of Oregon. : DIED. DAVIS At Havwnrd, Cal., December 1.1, 1015, George W.
