LdNG SENTENCE FOR BENSON
Man Who Killed Alexander Cole
Given Term at Windsor.
VIII Serve from % to 30 Years in
states Prison ny Result Of shoot
ing That Followed n Drunk
en- Row.

Chittonden county court practically
finished its extra term yesterday when
lIarice Benson, the negro indicted for
murder in the killing of Alexander Cole,
a fellow workman on the Essex Junction
dam, pleaded guilty to mansaughter, and
was sentenced by Judge Stanton to not
less than % nor more than 30 years in
prison. Benson was expected to
fight the case and as tho States wit
nesscs were a motley assortment of negro
workmen it was thought that a hard
fought legal battle was in store.
Benson had been indicted for murder
in the first degree by the grand jury,
and evidently decided that it was better
to take a prison sentence than to risk
hanging. For the State It was an adj
vantageous arrangement to accept the
confession of the lesser crime as the only
witnesses We're of type not likely to
tell a very consistent story in the wit
ness box. BY this means the uncertainty
and expense of a trial were avoided.
Benson pleaded guilty in the forenoon
and after that, as the work Of the term
was practically concluded, Judge Stanton
dismissed the jury.
Sentence was pronounced in the after
noon, and previous to the fixing of the
amount of punishment the counsel for
the defense. j. j. Enright and V. A.
lullard, made vigorous appeals for
olsmency
MIR. Enright said it was a drunken row
and that when it was all over Cole was
found to have been shot. MIR Enright
went on to argue that the defendant
himself was not sure that he had shot

SUDDEN DEATH
CALLS A. B. JONES

The news of the sudden death of A.
B. Jones, who passed away Monday af-
ternoon at the Cottage hospital. came
as a great shock TO his many friends in
the city and country. Mr.. Jones was
in The Dalles last week attending the
rodeo. On Thursday he was taken i'll.
He was brought here, where it was
thought he could be relieved by an op-
Grafton. Death came, however. before
surgical relief could be gwen.
Mr.. Jones, who was native of Wis
consin, was 81 years of age. He resid-
ed in Wisconsin until about 80 years
old, when he'removed to Montana. He
came to Hood River about 20 years ago
but since that time has spent number
of years in Alaska, where be was a
gold prospeetor. fur trader and home
steader. Mr.. Jones recently had some
interesting articles in the Glacier deal
ing with the far northern country. He
visited Fairbanks and other Alaska
cities this summer, looking after busi-
ness interests.
Mr.. Jones leaves surviving his wife,
daughter, Mrs. l.. c. Baldwin, two
brothers and three sisters. One of the
brothers, George Jones, lives resides in
Portland.
Mr.. Jones was a member of the
Mount Hood Presbyterian church. The
funeral services we're conducted Tues.

Parent Teacher Assn Officers Meet

At meeting held in library hall last
Saturday afternoon a movement which
bids fair to mark new epoch in Par.
ent-Teacher work in the Hood River
valley, was started. officers of the
different associations met to talk over
plans for the coming year. The gath
ering was entirely informal, each rep
resentative telling what had thus far
been accomplished and asking advice as
to her particular organization. Getting
acquainted with one another was by no
means the least advantage derived from
the meeting and it will mean a greater
cooperation among the schools of the
valley, as we'll as an encouragement to
each one to continue with its particular
work.
County Superintendent Thompson ad-
dressed the meeting, pointing out a
number of ways in which the parents
might assist in making the schools
more efficient. Miss Northey was pres
ent and suggested ways in which the
library might be helpful in the work.
Mrs. E. o. Dutro told how hot lunches
had been served to the Odell pupils last
year. Mrs. Lewis spoke of the sewing
classes at Pine Grove during the sum-
mer and of the play shed being erected
there now. Frankton is equipping
playground. Oak Grove is planning to
convert cloak room into a kitchen in
order to facilitate the serving Of hot
lunches and Barrett will add equipment
to comply with the regulations for
standardized school. This shows the
scope of work of the Parent Teacher
Associations, some of the things having
been accomplished by the organizations
themselves, while others were the out
growth of cooperation of the associa-
tions with their school boards.
The meeting was held at the instiga-
tion of Mrs. G. d. Hoyt, chairman of
the country life department of the
Oregon Congress of Mothers, and it
was voted toshold similar meetings at
regular intervals. Those attending
were Supt. Thompson, Miss Della
Northey, Mrs. J. o. Mclaughlin, Mrs.
Albert Garfield and Mrs. Aida Shoe
maker, from the educational committee
of the Woman's club; Mrs. l.. W.
Bishop. of Barrett; Mrs. j. C. Bow.
man, Of Oak Grove, Mrs. G. ID. Hoyt
and Mrs. j. R. Nickelsen, of Frankton: /:
Mrs. e. q. Dutro, of 0dell, and Mrs.

STORE BURGLARIZED,
SAFE CRACKED, ODELL

The Odell store Of the Consolidated
Mercantile Co., formerly the Purdy &
Chapman store, was burglsrized Tues
day night, the work apparently having
been done by experienced eracksmen.
The sum of s79 in cash was secured.
An entrance was gained to the building
by back window, and the burglars
left by back door, which was unelock-
ed from within.
The door of the safe was blown with
nitro glycerine. Bedding and sacks of
grain from the store were used TO
desden the sound, and blanket was
found left behind the by the cracks
men. Checks amounting TO S375 were
secured, but were found Wednesday
morning scattered along the track Of
the Mount Hood Railroad Co. near the
the store. A hammer and monkey
wrench were found in the store. On
the hammer were carved the initials
X. E. N.
The sheriff's office was notified yes

Grand Jury's Report

After a two days session the grand
jury was dismissed last Tuesday after
noon by Judge Bradshaw. The report
of the jury was as follows:
We. your grand jury. called, impan-
eled and sworn at the regular October
term of this court, respectfully report
as follows:
We have been in session two ~ days
and have rendered two true bills. We
have examined the records and accounts
of the various county officials and find
them to be Systematically kept and in
good condition.
We find that the toilet in the Jail is
ali unsanitary make OF closet and one
not allowed on the inside of building
in a we'll regulated city. We also find
that no wash basin is provided. Accord
ingly we recommend that this condition
be remedied and that shower bath be
installed.
Nearly all of the time of the grand
jury has been taken up with the con.
sderation of alleged violations of the
local option law within this jurisdic.
tion. We have received the report OF
the sheriff of the county as to the guam
tity of intoxicating liquor shipped into
tis county during the last three months.
By this report it appears that large
amount of liquor mas been shipped to
private individuals during the period,
and presumably procured and legally
used. 1t further appears that the
quantity received by the local drug
stores during the period was Considera.
bly, more than during the preceding
three months, and too large to be dis
posed of in accordance with the section
of the local option law regulating the
writing of prescriptions by physicians,
and in this connection we call the at
tention of physicians of Hood River
county to section 1921 of Lords Ore
gon Laws, which is as follows:
"The preceding article shall not be SO
constructed as to prohibit the sale OF
pure alcohol for scientific and manufac-
turing purposes, or wines to church
officials for sacramental purposes, nor
alcoholic stimulants as medicine in
cases of actual sickness, but such stim-
ulants shall only be sold upon the writ
ten prescription of regular practicing
physician, dated and signed by him,
and certified, on his honor, that he, the
physician, has personally examined the
applicant. naming him, and that he
finds him actually sick and in need OF
the stimulant prescribed as medi-
cine -
We recommend that the physicians
confine themselves more closely to the
letter of this section of the local option
law.
Having finished our deliberations, we
respectfully ask to be discharged.

City Enioined

Attorney E. C. Smith having brought
suit for the Cloud Newton Co. against
the city to resist payment of the as
sessment levied for the macadam paw
ing laid on State street last fall, Judge
Bradshaw has granted a temporary in
junction, restraining the city from
making collection until the settlement
of the suit. The complaint alleges
that the assessment is invalid, because
of having been inequitably levied and
that the work was not done according
to contract time.
