YOUNG MAN SUICIDE.
Douglas Janney Hangs Self in Barn
Near Central Point.

The body of Douglas Janney, 81
years old, was found Thursday morn
ing hanging from the rafter of the
barn on the Janney ranch about
three miles west of Central Point.
Relatives in Medford were notified
and an inquest held by Coroner Kel-
logg of Gold Hill. After evidence
had been heard a verdict of suicide
was given.
Young Janney had been living on
the ranch with his mother, who is at
present visiting friends in Missouri
For some time he had been alone
and it is supposed that ill health and
seclusion had preyed upon his mind
until in fit of temporary insanity
he made away with himself.
AS far as can be determined no
word was left behind and friends and
relatives are at loss to ascribe a
motive for the act Mr.. Janney was
a member of well-known and prom
inent family to whom the news of his
tragic ending comes as a great shock.
The Janney family moved here from
Minneapolis several years ago,
Besides his mother, Douglas Jan
ney leaves two brothers and sister,
Paul Janney, deputy assessor, Ed
ward Janney of Medford and Mrs.
Henry Ramsey of Washington, D.
c., who with her husband is at pres
ent visiting friends in Medford.

SENATE IGNORES ENGLAND.
Refuses to Strike Out Provisions Ex-
empting American Ships.

Washington, d. C.-By a vote of
"A to IL the senate late Wednesday
night refused to strike from the Pan
anna canal bill a provision eXempting
American ships from payment of
tolls passing through the canal. The
senate adjourned without voting on
the bill itself
The defeat of the Burton amend
ment to strike out discrimination in
favor of American ships was the SEN
ate's defiant answer to the protest of
the British government against the
legislation. During the evening the
clause in question, which provided
that no tolls should be levied upon
vessels engaged in the coastwise
trade of the United States, was
amended upon motion of Senator
Smith of Georgia. by making the ex-
emption exclusively in the coastwise
trade of the United States. Another
amendment by Smith, requiring own
ers of these vessels to keep the
United States free from liabilities for
damages resulting from their pas
sage through the canal, was defeated.
So was an amendment by Percy,
which provided that vessels owneo
by Americans. but built abroad
should be entitled to registration for
coastwise trade.
Just before the vote was taken,
Senator Cummins made an impas-
stoned speech, in which he charged
the senators who interpreted the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty as denying to
the United States power to discrimi-
nate in favor of it's own ships, with
giving an Interpretation which they
knew the American people would not
observe. He said the question of
power is one that could not be arbi-
trated, and should diplomacy fail in
its settlement, war would be the final
result.

REGIMENTS MAY GATHER.
Movement on Foot for All Nations to
Meet at Exposition.

Washington, d. C.-Brigadier
General Clarence Edwards, who was
one of the European commissioners
for the Panama-Pacific Internationa.
Exposition, is enthusiastic over the
prospect for gathering of the crack
army regiments of the world at San
Francisco in 1915 in a competitive
military tournament.
In talking with Representative
Kahn, General Edwards stated that
the idea keenly interested the rulers
of the European countries visited by
the commission and that little effort
would be necessary to bring to San
Francisco one of the most interesting
international events of recent history
and the first international exhibition
of this kind.
1t is pointed out that the facilities
provided by the proximity of the
Presidio and the interest which
would be taken in the plan by the
army officials of the United States
will go far toward facilitating the
project and make it a notable sue
cess. The fact that foreign troops
can be transported to the gates Of
the exposition on their national war
ships or transports adds to the feas-
ibility of the plan.
Competitive exercises of every
kind known to the profession of
arms are outlined in General Ed
wards idea, and he feels that the
carrying out of the plan will not only
bring multitudes to see the spectac-
ular exhibition, but concentrate the
attention of the world on San Fran
cisco.

CONTRADICTs sTEFFENs.
Judge BOrdwell Says He Did Not
Discuss Plans With Writer.

Los Angeles, Cali did not at
any time prior to the plea of, guilty
discuss with Lincoln Steffens any
plan for the McNamaras to plead
guilty"
This statement was made by Su-
perior Judge Walter Bordwell, trial
judge in the Mcnamara trial, over
the objection of the defense, in the
trial of Clarence S. Darrow for al
legged jury bribing.
Judge Bordwell was called by the
state to impeach Lincoln Steffens, a
magazine writer, who swore that the
jurist was cognizant of the negotia-
tions for the Mcnamara plea of
guilty. Following the sentencing of
]. B. and j. j. Mcnamara to San
Quentin for the dynamiting of the
Los Angeles Times building and the
murder of 21 men, Judge Bordwell
issued a public statement in which
he said that the bribery of Jurors and
nothing else cause the ending of the
famous trial.

GOVERNOR WEST FEARED.
Defense in Huntington Case Doesn't
Want Executive to Testify.

Baker, Ore.-The threat that Gov
ernor West would come back and fin
ish his cleanup of Huntington by
testifying in the proceeding brought
by Rev. r. C.. Lee, the Methodist
minister of Huntington, and w. G..
MacLaren, of the Pacific Coast Res
cue Mission, to secure charge of the
four small Rast children found in a
bawdy house by the governor in his
recent visit, has resulted in a truce
in the case.
Relatives of the children employed
an attorney and started to fight the
case, asking for IA witnesses. The
plaintiffs then announced that if the
defense was allowed that number,
Governor West would be called to
testify. The defense then offered to
compromise. MacLaren will investi-
gate the home of Mrs. Rast's sister
in Spokane and, if suitable, the chill
dren will be taken there. They have
been placed in St. Francis Academy
here until the investigation is conf
pleted,

NEW ATTRACTIONS.
State Fair Determined to Furnish
Good Entertainment.

Determined to present to the peo-
pie of Oregon and elsewhere a pro-
gram of free attractions and enter
tainments never surpassed by any
one of the half hundred assemblies
of the Oregon state fair in the past.
the Oregon state board of agricul-
ture is now working diligently and
when the states greatest annual
event is thrown open to the public
September this year, a veritable
maze of interesting features will
meet the eye of the visitors The Of
ficers of the fair are staging the
large play under ideal conditions.
The semi-tropic climatic conditions
have enabled the farmers in every
section of Oregon to reap bountiful
harvests, and for this reason the
state board of agriculture is looking
forward to a record-breaking dis
play of county exhibits, while it is
predicted that the contests for a
portion of the $4,000 offered in
premiums on livestock, poultry and
other agricultural products will be
interesting and close.
After much planning and specu-
lating, the board has finally made
arrangements for four new and in
teresting additional features to the
fair. An interstate shooting tourna-
ment will take place on the grounds
Monday and Tuesday of the week.
Comfortable cash prizes and beauti-
full trophys have encouraged sports
men in Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and California to enter the contest
of honors, and the two days shoot
ing event will no doubt result in
some national record-breaking in the
amateur class. The tournament is
open to all and an extensive program
has been arranged for the sportsmen
to follow.

OUT FOR OLYMPIA SEAT.
SpOkane's Suffrage Leader Will Turn
Down Pay.

Spokane. Mary Arkwright
Hutton, suffragist leader and mem
ber of the Washington delegation to
the democratic national convention,
announced she would be candidate
for nomination for state representa-
tive on the democratic ticket.
Mrs. Hutton, in making the an
nouncement, declared that if elected
she would refuse to accept any pay
for her services as a lawmaker, as
it would cost her no more to live
at the state capital than at home.
She feels that she can we'll afford to
give SO days of her time for the
honor of exercising the prerogative
of an American citizen.
Mrs. Hutton indicated a further
possible saving by saying 1T will not
be necessary to send and maintain
an expensive lobby at Olympia to in
struct me how to vote, for, if elected,
will do the voting"

PETITION GOVERNOR.
Newberg Residents Object to Saloon
Across River.

The petition to the governor pre-
sented by the Newberg people against
the saloon operating across the river
in Marion county has been referred
to the county court of Marion coun-
ty. In speaking of the affair recent
ly, Governor West stated that this
was in line with his regular policy
in such matters, as he always gave
the local authorities an opportunity
of correcting abuses before the
states power was invoked.
County Judge Bushey states that,
although the proprietor of the place
has bad reputation, they have no
grounds to proceed upon, and unless
there is some overt act, they can do
little else than watch the place care
fully and revoke the license on the
first sign of disorderliness.

INDIANS HONESTY WINS.
Judge Bean Grants 15-Day Reprieve
to Klamath Redskin.

Haymaking was late this year in
the Klamath Indian reservation and
for that reason Judge Bean received
letter recently from Alb Captain, a
klamath Indian, who was recently
sentenced to serve so days in the
county Jail for introducing liquor
into the reservation, but for whose
benefit sentence was suspended until
he could go back home and attend to
his crops. He wrote that the season
had been very backward there, and
1t would be fully two weeks before
he could get in his hay. Then he
would come to Portland and start
serving his sentence.
AS the honesty of the Indian was
evident, Judge Bean issued an order
that the sentence would be extended
for 10 days.

OFFERED A BRIBE.
Governor West Spurns Chance to
Earn $500.

J. G. Lammie has the unique dis
tinction of being the first man ever
to dare approach Governor Oswald
West with money. That he got away
unscathed is due probably to his
guileless expression and his misfor-
tune in being a deaf mute. He is an
elderly man, and as the governor
thought totally unaware of the seri-
BUSINESS of his offer.
One day last week he gained ac-
cess to the governor and straightway
pulled out small piece of paper on
which was written:
Dear Sir: am very anxious to
sell my land to the state. If you
could succeed in helping me dispose
of it for $4,000 | would be glad to
give you $500 for the favor. | real
ize the great influence you exercise.
Yours,
u. F. LAMMIE."
Governor West was at first in
clined to deal with the man summar-
lily, but as his countenance betrayed
no knowledge of any wrong intent,
he was merely dismissed with a lee
ture upon the ethics of the case.
