Two Athletes Drowned When
Canoe Hits Eddy in Willamette

Portland, Ore.-Two were drowned
and six other narrowly escaped drown
ing when Salem-to- Portland canoeing
party of the Portland Rowing club
struck the whirling rapids and eddies
off Rock Island in the Willamette
river five miles south of Oregon City
Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
The drowned were Charles Kirk
patrick, $50 East Madison street, %
years of age, clerk in the clearing
house at the First National bank, and
Harry Gammie, 33 years Of age, pay
ing teller in Ladd & Tilton bank, and
an athlete of considerable repute,
whose residence was 348 East Six
teenth North. Both were athletes of
the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club
and expert canoeists of the Portland
Rowing club.
The accident came at a sudden turn
ing point in a heretofore uneventful
trip down the Willamette from Salem.
About midway through the eddies
the canoe in which Gammie and Kirk
patrick were struggling suddenly
turned over and dumped them into the
river. Both began desperate strug-
gle against the water, but their efforts
seemed to be of little avail, the water
being swift and the undercurrent
tremendous.

All Aspects Of War viii Be
Considered by Conference Of Allies

London = A general conference of
the allies in Paris to consider all polit-
ical and strategical aspects Of the war
is to be held. Announcement to this
effect was made in the house of COM
mons by Premier Asquith.
Premier Asquith's statement was
made in the course of an address in
connection with the opening of parlia-
ment. The premier said large vote
of credit would be asked next week.
He announced that the government
was now taking stock of all its NUM-
tions, men, finances and industrial re-
serves, so as to be in position to put
forth its maximum strength.
The forecast made several weeks
ago of daily expenditure for the war
Of So, 900, 900 had proved, the premier
said, to be nearly accurate.
Obligations incurred by the war, he
added, would impose a serious strain
on the country for a generation to
come. This burden, he believes, could
be met only by large additions to tax
alton and by maintenance of England's 8
credit by keeping up the volume Of
exports, holding down unnecessary i'm
ports and reducing expenditures.

Two Hundred Banqueters Taken
Sick When Soup Is Served.
CHEF BELIEVED MERE UNIT IN sCHtMI
Lives Saved by Custom Of Serving
Meager Portions Only Ounce
Of Arsenic Used in Food.

Chicago-"I do not wish to create a
panic in Chicago" was the cryptic
reply of First Deputy Superintendent
of Police Schuettler, when asked Mon
day to give his views of the plot to
poison several hundred prominent Chi
cagoans.
Schuettler spoke testify and in the
tone of a man who is harboring the
secret of great calamity. At the
same time he refused to admit that he
believed Jean Crones, missing assist
ant chef at the University Club, who
served the banquet, was the only man
who figured in the plot.
Two hundred of the distinguished
list of 400 banqueters who attended a
dinner given to Chicago's new Catholic
archbishop, Most Reverend George
William Munderlein, were taken i'll of
poisoning after the soup course. The
archbishop did not partake of the soup,
nor did Governor Dunno, who was
among those present.
Indications are that Schuettler is
hot on Crones' trail and is gathering
evidence of plot in which Crones was
only unit among a gang of anarchists
who planned to kill the distinguished
group of men. This was borne out by
the activities of his staff of detec-
tives.
Two hours before Health Commits
sioner Robertson gave out the report
of F. 0. Tonney, city chemist, that
81 grains of white oxide of arsenic
had been found in an analysis of a
pint of the poisoned soup served at the
banquet, two anarchists were taken
into Schuettler's office.
Both of the anarchists were ques-
toned for more than an hour. When
they had gone Schuettler, in an inter
view, admitted he had reports on
Crones for several months. He knows
the meetings Crones has attended,
what he said at those gatherings. He
admitted Crones was red hot "dyed-
in-the-wool" anarchist, that he knew
Crones' associates, that his detectives
have questioned these men.
Schuettler made known the fact that
Crones at meeting of anarchists last
May asked the speaker if his study of
chemistry-he is an amateur chemist
would injure his standing in the an
archist movement. The speakers re-
ply throws some light on the motive
of the poison plot. 1t was this:
"No, chemist, could do great
deal in the anarchist movement"

Timber Saving Is Great;

Salem-In the protection of pri-
vately owned timber in Oregon statis-
tics given in the reports of State For
ester Elliott indicate that great
progress has been made in the last six
years.
When the new forestry code was en-
acted, in 1911, and the compulsory fire
patrol law, in 1918, reduction in fire
losses throughout the timbered sec
tions at once was effected. In 1910
81, $40, 997 worth Of timber was de-
stroyed in Oregon. Last year it to-
tailed only $9333.
The total loss in the five years end
ing with the close of last year was
$96, $40. This is less than one-six-
teenth of the loss sustained from fires
in 1910, the last years under the old
system.

Railroad in Douglas County
Is Held Liable for Taxes

Roseburg In decree handed down
in the Circuit court here Judge Hamil-
ton held that the taxes due from the
land of the. Southern Oregon company
in Douglas county for the year 1909
were collectible, and that the holdings
of the company were subject to sale to
satisfy the delinquent certificates the
same as other lands on which the taxes
were not paid. The unpaid taxes
amount to about $50, 900.
Suit was brought against the South
ern Oregon company several months
ago to compel them to pay the taxes
due on their lands in this county for
the year 1909. An answer was filed
by the Southern Oregon company in
which it was denied that the taxes
were lien against the land, or that
they remained due and unpaid on the
date Of reaching delinquency. 1t was
also alleged by the defense that the
certificates Of delinquency were not
filed regularly with the clerk.
Another contention offered by the
defense was that the Federal courts
had decreed that their interest in the
lands did not exceed $3.50 an acre,
while in some instances they were
assessed as high as 500 an acre. The
defense contended this was sufficient
to nullify the entire assessment.
The county attorney offered in ev-
dence..the original certificates of delin-
quency, which Judge Hamilton held
were regular and sufficient to warrant
disposal Of the lands for taxes. At
torney John M. Guerin, of counsel for
the Southern Oregon company, an
nounced that he would appeal the case
to the Supreme court. The question
involved in the case are identical with
those of the Oregon & California grant
lands, according to local attorneys.
