Touch Of Real Winter

Lapping over into southern Ore
gon, the storms that have been rag
Ing north, south. east and west have
left o touch OF real winter with frost
In the air and snow on the ground.
Friday about three inches OF snow
fell, and Friday night the mercury
went down to the lowest mark OF the
season, Thermometers registering va
riously from II to 20 degrees above
zero. There has been absolutely no
wind, the snow lying as II fell. and
Saturday II melted only where the
sun hit Il with It's warmest rays, the
mercury registering but little above
freezing all day. The youngsters
hastily made sleds OF all descriptions,
and few citizens put crude runners
on their buggies in the place OF the
wheels and enjoyed a southern Ore
gon sleigh ride. though the sleighing
was not of the best quality shortly
after the sun got In its work. "Boos'
we're built and hitched behind auto
mobiles served to give many speedy
rides down the paved streets.

BERLIN PROFESSOR
WARNS OF WILSON
Meter Thinks He Is Anxious
to Emulate Roosevelt"

The Hague, July l6.-The German
newspaper "Vorwaerts" reprints an ar
ticle recently written by Professor
Konrad, of Berlin, member Of the
National Liberty Party, under the
heading "Dread or Peace?'
Professor Metger tries to make out
that the role of peace mediator would
only serve to raise the personal pres
tige of President Wilson. who, accord
ing TO the writer, is anxious to emu
late President Roosevelt's success at
Portsmouth.
But" the professor adds. this
should be a warning to us. seeing the
result was that Japan was cheated OF
the fruits of victory"
"The Vorwaerts" comments on the
article: "The anti-Americanism OF
National Liberals seems 10 have risen
20 such a pitch of selfdeception that
they would wish the war to continue
Indefinitely. so long as America IS kept
from being the mediator The great
majority Of German people certainly
do not share this view"

WILSON LEAGUE HAS SLOGAN
"Americans All" Cry of Naturalized
Citizens Organization.

"Americans All" has been adopted as
the campaign slogan Of the newly or
ganized Woodrow Wilson Nsturalized
Citizens League, composed of recently
naturalized voters who favor the re-
election Of President Wilson.
DR.. Jewel Lewis. chairman Of the ex-
ecutive committee. said yesterday:
THE belief that the so-called
'hyphen' would be solidly against the
President has been found 20 be utterly
false. The fact of the case is that the
'hyphen' vote exists largely in the
Imagination. In setting forth the OBJ
jects Of the league we corresponded
altogether with voters of foreign ex-
traction. The answers received were a
convincing demonstration that the for
eign born population of the country is
as devotedly and as Loyalty American
as the most patriotic native born sons.

Sing Sing Aids Steilow
in FIGHT for His Life

Word reached Sing Sing yesterday
that Charles Frederick Steilow, who,
prepared to die Friday morning, had
received an additional twenty-four
hours by Dean Kirchwey that a final
effort might be made to save his life'
had "a chance TO beat it,"
The chance. obtained through the
efforts OF Stewart NJ. Kohn. Of coun-
sci for the Mutual Welfare League,
lay in the obtaining Of what lawyers
declared TO be absolute proof that the
confession on which he was convicted
was false and obtained by duress.
This proof, it is asserted, lay in
the statement made by the private de-
tective who, brought 10 New York os-
tensibly 20 help capture blackmailers,
was trapped by Val O'Farrell and his
men working for the league. into de-
claring that he forced Steilow TO con-
fess. and that he had doubts of his
guilt.
The statements Of the men to whom
the detective made this confession, to-
gether with the dictograph record Of
his talks, will constitute the basis Of
the fight to be made Thursday before
Justice Cole in Buffalo for a new trial.
Stelow was convicted of the murder
Of Charles ID. Phelps. an aged and
wealthy farmer Of Orleans County, and
his housekeeper in March, 1915.
The backbone of the case against
Steilow was n confession said to have
been made TO the private detective,
Justice Pound, who presided at the
trial. saying in his charge that with
out it he should feel compelled to or
der a verdict Of not guilty.
Steilow, brought to Sing Sing after
conviction, obtained two reprieves.
Meantime. Spencer Miller, deputy war
den of Sing Sing, and members of the
league became convinced that the man
was innocent, and that TO help him 1t
would be necessary TO learn something
of the methods employed to get the
confession.
The detective was called to New York
and engaged to discover the culprits in
two mythical blackmailing cases. The
suspects were employees Of OFarrell,
who had other men trailing the up
state detective and his men.
Last week. according to- O'Farrell.
he told a story suggestive of Nick Car
ter on various big jobs, including the
Steilow case. in which he admitted
receiving $4,000 for his work. Boast
ing about this, he described how he
had succeeded in forcing the convict
TO confess by threatening him, by
physical force. and promises.
Later. at Justice Coles request, the
Governor granted a reprleve.
