DR HOLT PLEADS FOR REALAMJERICAHISM Stirring Address "of Doctor Holt at Memorial Services Yesterday Asserting that wv all now see that the government has teen lax ia per mitting foreigners to hold to thtir ewn language and customs wails living in this country, the Rev. Dr. O. P. Hott was loudly applauded Sunday morning at the Memorial services in the First Baptist church when he declared that if foreigners do not like our ways and customs, they should be forced to re turn to the country from which they came. "We see now that fer people from other countries to camp and settle here in communities of their owa and to continue the customs and languages of those countries is all wrong," contin ued Dr. Holt. "Hereafter there shell be but one language and one custom in our country. Many lorelgners eoming here are destroying the sacredncss of our Sundays. If they remain, they must obey our laws. In a certain state in this country, the county record ar kept in a language we do not under stand. This ia all wrong " Dr. Hofc was enithuelastieally ap plauded for 'his patriotic words in ad dressing the members of the G. A. R., the Woman's Relief Corps and the La dies of the G. A. R. who marched in a body to the number of 60 to attend the Memorial services at the Baptist church. In bis sermon Dr. Holt called atten tion to the fact that the day was orig inally called Decoration day from tho fact that the surviving members of the G. A. R. set aside that day to decorate the graves of those who had died for their country. Now, Decoration day is used in a broader sense, he declared, and that as Memorial day, it was a time to com memorate the spirit of patriotism and when the members of the G. A. R. vis ited the schools, stirring in the hearts of the pupils the feeling of patriotism. Also a time when all are reminded of their duty and obligation to their country. "This Memorial day Is the one great occasion ef the year to in culcate the spirit of patriotism and de votion," auid Dr. Holt, and the con gregation agreed with him vigorously applauding.

Kalanw, Wash-, May 27. William Horner pleaded guilty to the Kelso triple murder this afternoon and was sentenced to Ufa imprisonment by Judge Darch. Horner confessed the crimes in these words: "About daylight Saturday morning Mrs. Bassett woks, a paad began to talk. She asked me to marry her. She begged me to. I told her I couldn't, she was too old. She got excited and argned. Then she cursed me while. Then I turned over and thought about it Then I got mad and went craxy. I got up and cot the gun and shot her. rl don't know Just how many times I did shoot." Kalama, Wash thinking that a thing." , May 27. "I'm temper is au awful That's what William Horner, con fessed murderer of Mrs. Fred Bassett in a tent near Kelso told the United Press today. "Do you think the court and jury will be lenient with you,' he was asked. "I'm thinking it's a pretty bad case," he said. " We had sn argument, ' said Horner. "She wanted to. marry me. When I told her that couldn't be done ehe got sore. That made me fly into a temper and I decided to kill her." Horner was asked whether Mrs. Bas sett was asleep when he killed her. "I don't know," he said. "I think she was, but I'm not sure." 'Do you think she saw you preparing to kill hert Did you kill her soon after the argument " "I killed her just a few minutes after the argument. I don't think she saw me getting ready to kill her," said Horner. This statement corresponds with Sheriff Studebaker 's theory that Horner up to this time has not told the real erime story but is trying to "brighten" his side of the case. Studebaker believes the murders were premediated were planned before he left with the Bassett family on the trip southward with the, old ford. Studebaker believes Mrs. Bassett would not have gone to sleep immediately fol lowing an argument of such intensity g to cause Horner " to deeide to wipe out the entire family! 1 "Why did you kill Ifrs. Bassettf You must have been very angry." I'm thinking that a temper is an awful thing," answered Horner evasively. At this point Sheriff Studebaker left the room. ''Do you think the court and jury will be lenient with you I" "I'm thinking it's a pretty bad case." ' Horner appeared very nervous, a natural result of the severe grilling to which he has been subjected si.iee his arrest Friday in Okanogan countv by Sheriff Claire Ward. He has been questioned by three sheriffs and Prose cuting Attorney Delos Spaulding of Cowlitz county. At first Hornor st earl fast Iv dpiiieri! - that ho had killed the Bassett fam Iv. " ... .but maintained that "a man named Brown" had killed them. HHe final- ly broke down when he was suddenly confronted with a photograph of the three dead bodies as they lay side by ened and camouflaged the men as no side on a bed, just as they were found, artist could have done. Only their This is one of the most gruesome 'eyes showed any color. They had beeu pieces of "art" ever seen here.

The bul- It would be too much to say they let wounds aro plainly seen and the looked happy, .but they did look satis sprawling bodies have a terrifying uni fied with their job. nauseating aspect. When Homer saw I 1 this picture, visualizing his crimes for him, he threw out bis hands, according to Spauldiug and cried: ''I did it; I did itl" I Studebaker soon returned to the room where .Horner was interviewed. He saw that Horner was not yet ready to tell the real story as Htudebakcr 1 believes the real story to be. Horner wsb returned to his cell. I Then the sheriff, who has worked tirelessly on this case, told the United Press he and Superior Judge Darch had arranged to question Horner again today. "Then he'll come through right," said the sheriff with a smile. Studebaker said Horner had admit ted a. two year sentence at Hutchinson, Kansas, for horse stealing. Horner continues to deny that he killed Fred Bassett several years ago when Bassett was shot while on a .hunting trip with Horner It was ac cidental, Horner asserts, as be declared i at that time. ! Basing their thought on the fact that 'Horner soon afterward began living I with Mrs. Bassett, the officers believe Horner killed Bassett, though probabiy I he will be tried for the murder of . Mrs. Bassett. j Horner is under guard here in the county jail. He was brought here by 1 Sheriff Clark Wtudebaker of Cowlitz I county, Sheriff Ward of Okanogan county, who caught Horner, and Prose cuting Attorney Delos Spauldiug of ! to bring Horner here rather thau Cowlitz Sheriff Studebaker decided to : chance the mob -spirit which he had been told was forming in Kelso. The rickety old Ford which had car ried Horner and the Baosett family from Snoqualmie to Kelso, and then had hurried back in the same general direction to Seattle with Horner fol lowing the murders, also curried Hoi -er end the three officers to Kalama. 8heriff Studebaker now is positive that there would have been no danger of a lynching at Kelso.

With, the Americans On the British Front, May 23. (By courier). Secre tary Baker's statement that half a million American soldiers are in France is not bard to believe after a trip through the British zone, and Presidint Wilson's suggestion, that the number should not be limited to- five- juillioi or any other figure can be readily understood. , These remarks are inspired by an ef fort to catch sight today of only one of the American units now being mold ed into shape to be of service to tho British. Maybe they made a tremend ous impression as they marijhed at home; maybe the cheering crowds thought the line would never end; but the correspondents attached to this particular section ran a fairly high powered motor car nearly to death criss-crossing highways and lanes and covering a territory almost as large as a Mow England state, without seeing more than a company or two.
