RUNORED EDISON

New York, Sept 1S.-Inquiries at
the plant of Thomas A. Edison in East
Orange as to published report that
Edison had invented contrivance' to
deflect torpedoes, were greeted with
silence today
william Maxwell, vice president of
the Edison corporation, merely pointed
to sign over the entrance to the

giving information as to work being
done for the government would be ar
rested and prosecuted in accordance
with provisions of the espionage act.
William Meadowcroft, secretary to
Edison, declared the inventor was not
in his laboratory today, and said he
did not know where he was.
Publication of the reported invention
by Edison followed reports brought
here by passengers of an American lin

to the vessel. The report published in

Must Grow Our Own Flax
Or Go Without Linen
Says Manufacturer

The United States faces famine in
linen unless something is done to in
crease the production OF flax within
the next year, according to j. Sidney
Startling, president of the Pacific Coast
Linen mills of Portland. In addressing
the East Side Business Mems club of
Portland, he told them there are only
1000 acres devoted to the raising of
flax for the making of linen threads
and weaves in the entire country. Be-
fore the war, thousands of tons were
imported for manufacture by American
spindles. Now this great supply has
been cut off from England, France and
Belgium.
''There is great opportunity for the
production of flax in Oregon" Mr..
Startling said, "and agriculturists of
the state should take advantage of the
situationo and get in on the flax move
ment which is sure to start in Amer.
lea since this nation must either pro-
duce its flax or do without"
Mr.. Startling is well known in Salem
having lectured before members of the
Commercial club on the flax PROPOSE
tion. At one time he submitted pro-
position for the erection of flax mills
at Salem but as no capital was forth
coming from Salem capitalists, he later
interested Portland men and is now
president of the Pacific Coast Linen
Mills at Portland.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
DEATH OF lone GIRL
Body Found In Bath Room
After She Had Been Dead
Presumably Ten Days

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-Police today were
seeking the slayer of Miss Josephine
Parker, whose body was found last
night in the bath room of the flat she
had occupied alone for more than a
month.
The girl S wrists had been slashed
and she had bled to death The walls
and floors of the parlor and bath room
were stained with blood and a razor
lay on the window sill. She evidently
had been dead about ten days
The police were willing to accept n
suicide theory at first, but later dis
covered a bucket of bloody water and
sponge which had been used in an
effort to wipe up the blood stains.
After losing so much blood, she
would not have had the strength to
attempt to erase it, the police believe.
They also pointed out that anyone
about to die would not worry about q
few blood stains. The flat was bare of
furniture. A trunk contained a bridal
trosseau complete, with white satin
gown, tulle veil and white slippers.
Miss Parker evidently had slept on a
pile of newspapers in corner.
The girl is believed to have come
here from Decatur, III.

Argentine Expects
Germany to Forward
Her Formal DisaVOWaI
(By Charles P. stewart)

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Buenos Aires, Sept. 1S.-Argentine
expects Germany to forward a formal
explanation of the Luxburg incident.
Until such disavowal is received thru
the ordinary channels of diplomatic in
tercourse, the German ministral post
here will be considered vacant.
Officials in thus indicating Argen-
tine s viewpoint today intimated that
such formal apology from Germany
might satisfactorily close the incident
Not all of the public today is ac'
cepting such a view, however. Numer
Gus meetings are being held urging that
Argentine formally break relations with
Germany. The strongest pressure is be-
ing brought to bear on President Iri-
ment is caustically commenting on the
fact that Germany is seeking to clear up
the bald phrases of Luxburg s communi-
cations by the explanation of an under
secretary expressing regret and Ger
many's "absolute disapproval" of the
minister's phrases.
Count Luxburg remained closely in
his place of refuge in the Austrian le-
cation today. The Argentine govern

ing to arrange for his departure on a

lies.

ANOTHER BID OF KAISER
FOR ONE-SIDED PEACE
Belgium Would Still Be Under
His Control, and Nothing
Gained by Allies
(By j. w. T. Mason)
(Written for the United Press)

New York, Sept. 1S.-Early restor-
alton of civil authority in Belgium to
the Belgian people is foreshadowed by
the German government g failure to fill
the vacant posts of civil governor and
assistant civil governor of Belgium, pre-
viously held by German officials.
German newspapers have been quick
to find significance in the fact that
these two important offices are now
without incumbents; and it is probable
the kaiser's cabinet is now sounding
public opinion at home concerning the
abandonment of German civil control of
Belgium. A move of this character
would be natural preliminary step
by the kaiser to an eventually COM
plete restoration of Belgium. 1t would
prepare the pan-Germans for the fail
ure of their imperialistic ambitions and
would be a plea for peace.
Belgium would still be subserviant
to the military flats of the German
army chiefs, and no harm would be
worked to German tactics and strategy
if in purely local affairs the Belgiana
were allowed to exercise the powers of
the civil governor and his assistants
The Belgian government itself could
of course accept no such compromise
with Germany, but the Belgians at
home might find it possible to do so.
The kaiser's principal purpose in
granting a concession of this nature
would be to save his own skin. If the
allies were to accept the restoration of
Belgium as . sufficient peace offering
and were to permit the kaiser to retain
his irresponsible, autocratic powers, all
the advantages of the exchange would
rest with the Hohenzollerns. This is
the stake for which the kaiser is now
playing. But the plan is unworkable
With America in the war the Hohen-
zollelns won't be allowed to beg off
simply by returning the loot.

to all other liens except taxes.
To Force Payment
According to the law, Mrs. Anderson
had six months time in which to pay
off this lien and court expenses. As
she did not do this, on Feb. IA, 1917,
the county clerk notified Max Gehlhar,
district attorney and an action was
brought for the foreclosure Of the lien,
$24.75 together with interest al six
per cent from August 5, 1916, and the
costs of the suit In the complaint the
district attorney asked that the usuel
decree be entered for the sale of the
premises by the sherll' and that the
proceeds be applied in payment,
Mrs. Anderson Demurs
When the case was brought to trial,
Mrs. Anderson, through her attorney,
pleaded that the complaint did not
state facts sufficient to constitute 4
cause of suit. On Sept. 5, 1917, Judge
bingham found that this demurrer Of
Mrs. Anderson 3 attorney was not well
taken and she was given until the 18th

Mrs. Anderson, through her attor-
ney, also demurred to the complaint
on the grounds that the service was
not returned Immediately, but that l6
days had elapsed between the time it
was served on her and when it was
filed at the county C Jerk s office.
Judge Bingham over ruled this demur-
rer on grounds that Immediately
might mean within a reasonable time
and also from the fact that the defend
ant had suffered no injury from the
16 days delay in filing the notice in
the circuit clerk s office.
Mrs. Anderson also demurred to the
complaint on the ground that the ex-
pense of removing the thistles, s24.75,
was excessive and that the work should
have been done for So Mr.. Johnson
had employed seven men and each had
worked l1a days to properly cut over
and remove the thistles on two acres.
She also claims to have cut and
thrown into piles part o. the thistles
and that if Mr. johnson, as road SUI
pervisor, had not intervened, she
would have done the work. She also
claimed that in removing the thistles
the road supervisor and his men had
burned 191 square rods of growing
wheat and 101 rods of oats, to the val
ue of $50. Also that in cutting the
