insane WOMAN TRIES
TO KILL HER FAMILY
Gives Poison, Then Shoots Children
and Self.

Portland, Ore, April 2S.-In a
moment of what the physicians say
was emotional insanity, Mrs. Lillian
Strang, aged &c years, administered
poison to the oldest of her three
children and to herself, and then
shot, with a small caliber rifle, her
Oldest and youngest children and
herself. The shooting, which occur
red Saturday night in the Strang
residence in the outskirts of Port
land, did not become known to the
police until yesterday. Mrs Strang
probably will die. .I..r.:.. ..E
Edwin Strang, aged years, pois-
oned and slightly injured, will
probably recover. Marcia strang,
aged 5 years, poisoned, is in criti-
cal condition. Oakley Strang, aged
2 years, shot in the head, may recov-
er.
First administering the poison.
Mrs. Strang then shot the two chill
dren and herself. The shock of the
self-inflicted wound apparently re-
stored her senses, for she immediate
ly set about ministering to the chill
dren and binding up their wounds.
Several hours later Earl o. Strang,
the husband, returned home. He
had the sufferers removed to a hos
pital, whose authorities assumed the
police had been notified.
Mrs. Strang says she can give no
explanation of her act. She only
remembers that she had not given
the baby poison when her senses re-
turned.

Parliament Informs Five Power
Bankers After Work is
Completed.
EXPECTED TO BRING REVOLT
0pponens of President Yuan Shi
Kai Threaten to Re-
move Him.
EXPECTED TO BRING REVOLT

Picking, April 2S.-China's day OF
prayer did not prove entirely peace
full, due to dissension over the five
power loan. The loan, which is for
1925, 100000, was completed just af-
ter daybreak, the Chinese and for
eign signatories having assembled
late last Saturday night to conclude
the details.
A delegation from the senate and
house of representative gathered
outside the British bank, where the
representatives of the government
and the five power group met. The
vice president of the senate acted as
spokesman for the delegation, and,
when an opportunity was given him
to confer with the signatories he ex-
planned that the majority in the par
lament considered the loan illegal.
Since the dynastic days, the ques-
ton of a loan has been discussed in
various forms, and it threatens to
bring about another revolution SINH
lar to that caused by the Hu-Kuang
loan. The five power bankers and
the Chinese government have ar
ranged the loan practically for Yuan
Shi Kai's cabinet, which Yuan Shi
Kai completely dominates. The cab
met contends that the government
has a right to conclude such con-
tract because the permanent assemb-
ly has not yet been constituted, and
therefore approval for the loan by
the provisional assembly holds good.
In addition to the withdrawal of
the United States from the combina-
ton, however other alterations
have been made in the contracts
since the assembly approved it. The
.KWo Ming Tang party, which is the
nominating political party, would
remove Yuan Shi Kai by parliament
tary means or force, but neither is
possible while the president con-
trolls the army at Picking. The adj
herents of the Kwo Ming Tang do
not desire to withdraw to Marking
for the purpose of establishing par
lament there, because such action
would result in disruption between
the. south and the north,

PRESIDENT HUERTA
IS ON DEFENSIVE
President Doggedly Forcing Cam
paign Against Rebels.

Mexico City, April 2S.-Further
evidence of the aggressiveness OF
the northern rebels was given yes
terday when several hundred OF
them, we'll armed and mounted, cap
tured the town of Vanegas, on the
National railway, in the state OF
San Luis Potosi. They cut the rail
way to the north and then moved
over to Matehuala, a mining and
smelling center.
The rebels continue to cover new
territory and cripple transportation
facilities. More than $500 miles OF
the National railways system are
out of commission. To this is add
ed long stretch of the Southern
Pacific, south of Guaymas and other
short independent lines.
The inability up to date OF the
government to float loan is a SER
ious handicap, but notwithstanding
this President Huerta is doggedly
forcing the campaign. However,
the government campaign appears
to be largely defense. 1t believes
that it will be, able to hold Quay

TROOPS ON MOVE
Report Army Has Entered Montene-

London, April 2S.-According to
a report published in Berlin, an Aus
trian naval division has left Trieste
with 10000 troops with the inten-
ton of occupying Antivari, Dulcigno
and San Giovanni di Medua and adj
vancing against Cettinje.
The Strassberger Post asserts that
the German emperor has received a

This probably is premature, but lit

HURRIED TRIP TO NEW JERSEY
Agent Makes Successful Journey to

Owner of Townsite.
HURRIED TRIP TO NEW JERSEY

Manson, April 2S.-The owners of
real estate in Manson were given
real fright recently. when it became
known that there was dark cloud
on the. title of every piece of prop
erty in town.
This important discovery was
made by V. P McManus, local at
torney, in examining an abstract for
the purchaser of the David P. Smith
property on Murray Hill. Mr.. Nc
Manus declared the title to be de-
fective and he was sustained in his
contention by some of the leading
attorneys of this part of the state.
The news came as thunderbolt
to every realty holder in the disput-
ed territory, which is. bounded on
the north by Wiley avenue. on the
west by Baltimore avenue, on the
south by the North road and on the
east by the Tom Yates road, taking
in the entire section, one mile
square, the entire business section of
the town, the largest residence sec
ton of the town, the Rose Hill and
St. Thomas cemeteries, the Congre-
gational and Methodist churches
and both railway stations and yards.
The discrepancy in the titles to
A. h0 nf a
Cling of deeds, no doubt an accident,
at an early date in the history of
the town.
When the stunning truth concern
ing the clouded titles was told to
few of the largest realty holders in
the district, they Immediately en-
gagged M. w. Fitz, president OF the
.Griswold Land & Credit company, to
take up the matter of clearing up
the titles to the entire territory. Mr..
-Fitz went east last week and found
the people who would be the, heirs
to dispute the title to the land. He
found Mrs. Alice Smythe, the only
surviving child of Delos DeWolf, liv-
ing in Princeton, N. j., on the same
street in which is the home OF the
late ex-President Cleveland. She Is
an aged woman and has only two
heirs, two heirs. two sons who are In
business in New York City. Mr..
Fitz visited them and explained his
mission. He was not given any as
surance that their heirs would sign
a quit-claim deed until they had
visited one of the most finicky title
lawyers in Manhattan. They were
all unbending with Mr.. Fitz, but by
careful and tactful persuation he in
duced them to agree to sign away
the cloud on the title to so much
valuable property. He again visited
their mother and she assured him
that she would sign any paper her
sons advised her to sign, which she
did finally, thus clearing away a
very annoying and what might have
proven a very costly defect in the
titles to the land in dispute. The
prompt action of Mr.. Fitz saved the
property owners thousands Of dol
lars in litigation, which could only
end in their titles being perfected,
but which would have been very
costly and annoying.
