NOTHING LIKE THAT
IN OREGON FAMILIES

What is the c. P. A. degree?
Secretary of State Olcott asked
himself that question this morning
when he received a communication
from the LaSalle Extension Univer-
sity of Chicago asking what the re-
quirements were in this state for the
comforting of such a degree.
Unable to answer 1t he submitted
1t to a number of newspaper report
ers who were in his Office begging
him for news, and they in turn una
BILE to answer it, started out to get
story by asking the other state
officials.
The governors Office was unable to
answer the question, and so was a
number of other officers. Finally
the reporters saw Railroad Commits
sioner Aitcheson coming down the
hallway, and they hailed him with
the question.
This is What It Means.
"The degree of G. P. A. he said
means Certified Public Accountant
1t is a degree which is conferred in
the east but not in the west to any
extent.
That his reply was correct is evi.
dencel by the fact that it was veri-
fed in the office of Superintendent
of Public Instruction Alderman.

discrepancies in the story told by
Paul Beattie.
Paul said he told the pawnbroker
from whom he bought the shotgun
which killed Mrs. Beattie that he
wanted it for some one else. Jacob
Weinstein, IA years of age, son of
the pawnbroker who sold the wea-
pom, insists that Paul said, "I want
this for work as watchman on a
bridge"
Young Weinstein says he told Paul
that he did not need a gun because
he would never shoot anyone, and
that Paul replied: Don't you believe
that. I've got the nerve, all right" :"
Discarding their former theory that
Beattie himself killed his wife, the
police now believe that Henry Beat
tie confided to his cousin that he
wanted to get rid of his wife and
that Paul found a man who did the
killing for money.
A report that Henry Beattie and
his wife quarreled the night before
that on which the tragedy occurred;
that on the evening of the crime
Beattie made up" and then urged
her to take an automobile ride with
him is under investigation by the pol
lice,

ceived a $4,000 bribe from the Spring

ent except his brother, Frank N. Dal-
ton.
Dalton took his fate calmly, show
ing little emotion.
A plea for leniency was made by

ground that Dalton, because Of his
high standing in the community, had
already suffered much and keenly
felt his disgrace and notorety which
the exposure had brought upon him.
1t was generally understood Dali
ton would accept the verdict. He
was allowed five days in which to ar
range his personal affairs, and will
then begin his sentence.
Judge Brown. replying to Fairall's
plea, said he felt it his duty to make
an example of the case because OF
the prominence of the defendant.
Dalton was arrested after care
fully laid plan i'm which the asses
sor was so placed that he asked for
and received the money from the
Spring Valley Water company, while
witnesses in the Office of District At
torney Donahue listened.
Dalton. was accosted and taken in
to custody in Oakland as he left the
place, and tne bills, which had bee1
marked, were offered as evidence al
the trial.

Mrs. Jennie NJ. Humphreville, of

cate her father, Albert R. Costa, and
believing that the governor could be
of assistance to her in her search,
she has written him.
In her communication she says that
she has not heard from her father

learned that man by the name of
Albert R. Costa was paying taxes on
personal property in this state, and
she desired the governor to advise
her in what county the taxes were
paid.
Ralph Watson, private secretary to
the governor, has answered the let
ter and in it he says that he is un-
able for the lack of any available

FOUR HUNDRED LETTERS
RECEIVED IN ONE DAY

Four hundred letters rolled into
the Office sof Secretary of State Oh
colt yesterday afternoon and this
morning, and today he and his
clerks have been busily engaged in
answering them.
July is supposed to be the dull
month for the office of secretary of
state and heretofore whenever so
letters a day were received, the Sec
retary and his clerks thought they
had a busy day In order to handle
the increase of business, it has been
necessary for the secretary to hire
a number of additional stenograph-
ers
While, as has been said July is
supposed to be a quiet month, over
1900 claims have been audited for
the month and there remains some
800 yet to be audited. The banner
month of the past could boast of but
1000 claims.
The increase is due to the fact that
bylaws passed by the last legisla-
ture it devolves upon the secretary
of state to audit the claims of all
the state boards and also those Of the
Agricultural college.

SOME DANGERS
OF THE RECALL

Noticing an article in the Herald
at Ell Paso, Texas, condemning the
recall law of this state because of
it's invokment against Judge Coke,
Charles Clayton, of Beaumont, Tex
as, has written Secretary of State
Olcott relative to the, truth of it and
also asks for any other information
on the subject which he may see fit
to submit.
The article in question says that
under the recall law of Oregon it is
proposed to bring about recall of
Judge Coke because his instructions
to the jury in a criminal case were
not satisfactory to all parties con-
cerued. 1t then proceeds to show
the danger of the law in this re-
spect-of how judge would be
made the creature of an ignorant and
impassioned public, and how his de-
cisions would at all times be in con-
formity with public opinion in gem
eral with relation to any cases that
might come before him.
