MOTHER DIES, DAUGHTER
SUICIDES and HUSBAND
ATTEMPTS TO TAKE LIFE

Bellingham, Wash. April IL. - A
heart rending story of family troubles
was brought to light here last night
by the death Of Mrs. Winifred Couch,
the suicide of her daughter Ethel, and
the attempt Of her husband to end his
life.
Mrs. Couch had been ailing since
her attempt to secure a pardon for her
son, who is in the penitentiary at Wal
la Walla, failed. Everett Couch, the
son, was convicted last summer Of the
misappropriation of the funds of a Sc
attic bank and was sentenced from
one to fifteen years in the penitentiary
and he was allowed by Acting Govern
or Hart to visit his mothers death bed
in company with his wife.
Ethel Couch the daughter, had been
with her mother at the sick bed con
stantly during the past ten days and
a few moments after the death of her
parent went upstairs and shot herself
through the head She died two hours
later.
A few hours later the father attempt
ed suicide but was prevented by mem
bers Of the family.
The wife Of Everett Couch said last
night that if Couch were returned to
prison she would end her life.

MUNICIPAL PHONES TO
Be MEETING TOPIC
Feasibility OF Installing City
Owned Plant To Be Dis
CusSed Tonight.

For those who are interested in muni-
eipal telephones, especially since there
is a prospect of an advance in rates,
the meeting to be held at the city hall
this evening will be Of especial inter.
est.
At the meeting Of the council last
Monday Mayor G. Il. Albn appointed
Ia committee consisting Of DR.. D. l..
Scott, Otto j. Wilson, W. A. West,
Fred j. Smith and DR.. +. l.. Utter to
Investigate the municipal telephone
proposition for Salem.
Several weeks ago at a council meet.
ing, L. I. Busselle, consulting engineer,
stated that plant equal if not better
than the present telephone system in
the city could be built for 100000 and
that it could be maintained at 70 per
cent Of the present telephone charges.
II is estimated that the Bell telephone
plant in Salem has valuation Of about
100000.
The matter was brought before the
city council by City Attorney b. w.
Macy, who represented the city, with
Mr.. Busselle at the hearing held in
Portland before the nublie service com.
mission in which the telephone company
asked for an advance in all telephone
rates in Salem, running from 90 to 100
per cent increase.
There is an impression that the com.
mission may grant the advance asked
for, or at least compromise, ws1ch will
mean a rather higher rate in Salem, al.
though other points in the valley do not
pay as high as Salem.
At the Portland hearing, Mr.. Bussello
made the point that the telephone com.
pany had picked on Salem for the ad.
vance when the city was already psying
more than others in the valley.
He will address the special commit.
tee this evening and will be asked to
answer practical questions involving
the construction Of a municipai plant
and other questions that will give the
committee practical information with
which to make its repoFt to the council
BY action Of the council, The mayor was
asked to appoint a eommitte 70 report
on the advisabiiity Of putting ~ tnuni
eipal plant in the city.

JERSEY BREEDERS Of
VALLEY TO CELEBRATE
Ten-Day Jubilee, Beginning In
Portland May Is, Is
Planned.

A Jersey jubilee will be held by Jer-
sey breeders in the valley to celebrate
the fact that in Marion county is the
most famous Jersey COW in the world,
with a world record for butter fat,
"Vive la France. And besides "Vive
Ia, France" there are other champions
owned in Marion county and the val.
ley.
The jubilee win be held during the
ten days beginning May Is, beginning
at Portland 1t is the intentioneof Jer-
sey breeders to bring from the east the
most prominent Jersey breeaers and
these men will accompany the party
from place to place in the valley for
the jubilee celebrations, going as far
south as Eugene.
Congressman Macarthur in his address
yesterday said that If the Oregon breed
ers would properly advertise, that the
entire country would eventually be com
ing to the Willamette valley to secure
its Jersey stock.
AT The meeting yesterday afternoon
a resolution was passed protesting
against the standard being raised for
oold medal requirements. II is held
that the raising Of the requirements to
more than 700 pounds of butter fat q
year would eliminate all but exceptional
cows. Also that such a requirement
would work a hardship to the smaller
BREEDER who cannot devote his time to
producing exceptional butter fat pro.
ducers
Another resolution passed was that
the American Jersey cattle club be re-
quested to arrange its publicity service
Of register Of merit in order that proper
announcement can be made after com
pleting records that no unofficial claims
or records might be published.

Mr.. Selling says:

The idea of an international high
court to try these indicted for war
crimes is understood to have been
abandoned. No local precedent could
be found under which criminals could
be extradited to such a court. 1t has
been decided, however. that this situa-
tion win not prevent individual nations
such as France and Belgium from extra
ditmg enemy officials on local indict-
ments, providing sufficient evidence is
obtained.
Submarine officers ana crews and
