If Attorney-General Sustains

APPROPRIATIONS MADE
UPON OLD HOUR BASIS
Labor Commissioners Holding
Would Mean Employment
of Additional Help.

Labor Commissioner Hoff having held
that the eight-hour law applies to the
state institutions, or to certain en-
ployes therein, Governor West this
morning said he would ask the opinion
of Attorney Crawford on the
matter, and that if he held with the la
Dor commissioner, he would then take
the matter up with the heads of the
state institutions as to the effect it
would have upon them, and that if he
found from this that the law would
cause a deficiency in any or all of them
that he would consider calling spe-
cial session of the legislature to take
care of the matter. As the labor com
missioner's ruling is remembered, he
held the law applied to engineers, farm.
ers and all laborers employed at the
state institutions, but did not apply to
the officers, and certain other employees
The appropriations were made on the
basis of the hours customary at the in
stitutions before the eight-hour law
went into effect, and it is thought that
the shorter hours will compel the hir-
ing of additional help and that de-
ficiency is certain to follow.
The governor does not say that ne
will call special session, but that some
circumstances may arise in connection
Herewith that will make the calling of
an, extra session preferable to passing
the matter up to the emergency board.

BELIEVE SPENCER
SLEW MICHIGAN GIRLS
Chicago Dope Fiend Believed to Have
Ended Lives of Unknown Young
Women at Paw Paw.
UNITED PRESS LEASED w1as.l

Chicago, Oct. 9.-The chief of police
of Benton Harbor, Mich, telegraphed
today to Chief McWeeney here, telling
him of the finding of two girls bodies
in Lake Michigan near Paw Paw last
summer, and calling attention to the
fact that they may have been victims
Of Henry Spencer, confessed murderer
of Mrs. Mildred Allison Rexroat, and
13 other women.
Investigation convinced the Chicago
police that the Benton Harbor official
might be correct. Though believing
Spencer did kill Mrs. Rexroat they in
clined to regard the rest of his confes
sion as romance, but they said today
that it had certainly been partly cor.
roborated. =
The two girls were never identified
Spencer, deprived of cocaine, raved
in his cell today, and begged the police
to hang him.

the last strike, but McInnis was tossed
out to Merkle. Strunk got three balls
and then fouled off one. Strunk tap
ped one to Fletcher, who threw wildly
over Merkle's hsad. Collins and Baker
scored and Strunk reached second. Bar
ry popped to Fletcher. Three runs.

He waited for three and two before
swinging on one of the Athletic young

balls but split the plate with the third.
Doyle bounced hit off Bush 3 leg,
which the pitcher was barely able to
knock down. Bush threw to first re-
peatedly to keep Doyle frozen to the
bag. He was led into this by an At
tempted steal by Doyle, which was
baked by Fletcher fouling off one.
Fletcher hit by pitcher and went to
first. Crowd roared in jubilation. Bush
gave Burns two straight ones. They
were far from center of plate. Doyle
was worrying Bush by dancing off Sec
ond as though ready to steal. Burns
popped to Collins, who tossed to Barry,

Senator Bourne
Speaks Tuesday
Federal Aid in Building Roads" Will
Be Subject Discussed Before Com
mercial Club.

Senator Bourne will be in Salem
Tuesday evening, October IA, and will
speak in the promotion department of
the Commercial club ats o'clock that
evening on the subject of "Federal
Aid in Building Roads,
The senator is pleasant and force
full speaker, and is, beyond all ques-
tion, the best informed man in the
United States on the subject of roads.
He has devoted years to the study of
the subject, and has evolved a scheme
for building roads with the government
furnishing the money. His idea is
based on the fact that the government
can borrow money more cheaply than
the states, and that the difference in
interest will eventually pay the cost
of road construction. The public is in
vited to hear him, and it is assured that
it will learn something worth while
when it does.
