MORE BUILDING.
For the State College Million
Dollar Appropriation Bill !,
Passed.

Within short time, funds will
be available for the construction of
woman's building and drill quart
ers for the cadet regiment at. the
State College. The sum is Sos
900, and 1t is probable that building
operations will be undertaken in the
very near future. One result of the
election is that the people have
voted to approve of the Million
Dollar appropriation bill. It will
be remembered that the measure
was huge omnibus bill in which
appropriations for state institutions
were indiscriminately grouped to-
gether with Normal School and
other appropriations. It was pass
ed during the last day of the legis:
lative session, but not until after
Governor Chamberlain had induced
the legislature to eliminate the
emergency clause so the referendum
could be applied to the bill. This
the people did. and at Mondays
election, they voted on the ques-
ton of whether or not the bill
should be vetoed. or approved.
According to the returns announ
! ced, they voted to approve the bill.
It is believed that thousands voted
for the measure that intended to
vote against it, due to the manner
in which it was stated. However
that may be, the bill has the sane
ton of the popular ballot and will
become effective as soon as the
formality of an official count and
the issuance of the governors pro-
clamation can be made. This form
ality will require two or three
weeks, probably. The law says
that the official vote shall be can.

mediately thereafter, the governor

follows:
Section 9. It shall be the duty

ligaments were so involved that
complete removal was impossible.
With great fortitude, however, the
I young woman maintained ths un-
equal struggle, and for six months
subsequently survived a fate that
physicians thought at times could
not extend beyond the ordeal Of

Three weeks ago, Miss Whitby
was taken to Portland for further
treatment, and after a few days,
was brought home, unirproved.
ALI that affection and medical
science could do was bestowed In
the vain hope of finding relief, but

The funeral was attended by
many from Corvallis, including

DETAILS OF BATTLE in sAMAR.
Result Of Base Treachery on the Part

OF the PulajAnes.
Manila, March 26.-According to ad-
vices received the recent fight at
Magtaon, Samar, between the con-
stabulary and Pulajanes was the re-
suit of base treachery on the part of
the natives. AS a result of the fight
thirty Pulajanes were killed and six
teen Of the constabulary killed and
wounded.
"A. dispatch received from Captain
Jones of the constabulary at Magtaon
says that on March % Governor Cur

and camped over night near the Pula-
james. The presence of the officials
was made known to the rebellious ma.
tives and their leader announced that
he would surrender his force the next
day. AS result of this promise. the
Americans returned to Magtaon.
The next day four chiefs Of the
Pulajanes. with over 100 men and
fourteen guns. appeared at Magtaon
and lined up in front Of the consta-
sbulary barracks. Between the bar.
racks and the Pulajanes stood the
group Of American officials.
One OF the chiefs expressed wish
that his party be photographed in the
act Of surrendering, and Superintend.
ent Hoover. in compliance with the
request, was adjusting his camera
when the Pulajane leader blew
whistle and gave an order to advance.
The entire party of natives thereupon
rushed upon the American officials,
who escaped to the Magtaon river
and swan to the opposite bank.

Indianapolis, March 2S.-The joint
scale committee of the bituminous
coal operators of Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and western Pennsylvania re-
ported disagreement to the joint con-
ference CT the central competitive dis
trict, and after q session of three
hours the conference adjourned until
morning.
The discussions and arguments pre-
sented during the afternoon by the
representatives of the miners and op-
orators showed no change whatever in
the situation, and indicated that the
opposing sides are no nearer wage
agreement than they were in January.
when the first conference was held.
The present wage scale will expire
Saturday and unless an agreement Is
reached before its expiration, 225,000
miners in the four states will be
called from the mines.
President Mitchell of the miners
opened the discussion in the joint con-
ference, after there had been silence
of ten minutes, during which each
side was waiting for the other to
make the first move. In brief speech
he said 1t had been his expectation
that some proposition looking to an
adjustment of the differences
would be submitted by the operators,
but 1t was evident they had not been
able to agree among themselves. Mr..
Mitchell then offered for the consid-
GRAFTON Of the convention motion
that as basis of settlement there be
restoration Of the scale of 1903.
j. H. Winder, chairman of the oper-
ators, offered as a substitute mo-
ton to adopt the present scale.
Speeches were made for the oper-
ators by j. c. Kolsem and Phil Penna
Of Indiana, H. l.. Taylor of Illinois
and H. L. Chapman OF Indiana, all ex.
pressing the determination of the op-
orators of those states to oppose an
advance in wages. For the miners,
President Mitchell, Vice President
Lewis and Secretary Wilson, together
with H. C. Perry of the Illinois min.
ers. President Green of the Ohio min
ers and President O'Connor of the In.
diana miners, expressed the deter.
mination of the miners to insist upon
their demands for the restoration Of
the wage scale of 1908, which is an
increase of 5.55 per cent. F. l.. Rob.

orators. who favors the payment Of
the increase demanded by the miners,

liciousness and viciousness behind
them. Any one of the nine across the
throat would have caused death. The
six stab wounds in the back indicated
not the work of a burglar but the
fiendishness of one prompted by hat
red.
The detectives doubted that a wo-
man could lie in a faint for five hours
and then be SO cool and unexcited as
Mrs Myers was when discovered.
After examining the premises careful
ly the detectives held conference in
the woodshed and agreed that Mrs.
Myers herself was the murderess. The
detectives examined her hands close
ly and found dried blood beneath her
finger nails and around the edges of
them. They found that during the
night fire had been kindled in the
parlor stove and that a woman's
nightgown had been partially burned
there. The sleeves, which were
soaked in blood. remained unburned
in the stove. Upon a window sill in
the kitchen, hidden behind the cur
tain and wrapped in cloth, was
found pair of scissors. Their points
fitted exactly into the stab wounds in
the dead mans back. In bureau
drawer, with the shaving material of
the dead man, was found the blood
smeared razor with which his throat
had been cut. The detectives search
ed further. They even took off the
backs of pictures hanging upon the
wall. They pulled out an organ, un-
screwed the back of it and found,
tucked away in an obscure corner, the
jewelry and money which Mrs. Myers
said the negroes had stolen from her.
Beneath a pile of blankets III
closet was found a black felt hat
which had been literally soaked in
blood. An effort had been made to
wash it before it was put beneath the
blankets, but there was blood in
plenty upon it. With the hat was a
shirt, the sleeves of which were
bloody, and a pair of bloody cuffs.
When confronted with these things
Mrs. Myers merely smiled and stuck
to her first story about the negroes.
She was not arrested. but was watch
ed closely by the detectives.
For month the murder was a rnys-
terry. MRS. Myers STUCK TO her hrSt
story. The police believed that there
was man somewhere. a lover of
hers. who had helped in the murder,
but there was not the slightest clew
to show where he was.
