BY BOTH BANDITS
lRy Assoclated Press.l

SALEM. Ore, June Especial to
the East Oregonian. )--James Ogle
who with Walter Bannaster and David
Smith is serving a life sentence In the
state penitentiary for the murder of j.
u. Burgess and George L. Peringer in
the Claremont Tavern, at Portland,
last November. today confessed that
he fired the shots which Killed the two
men. The blame for the shooting had
been placed on Smith by witnesses
and Ogle also accused Smith. He
simply had the thing on his mind for
n long time" said Warden L. II.
Compton, .'and voluntarily came
through with the truth"
Mr.. Burgess and Mr.. Peringer were
in Portland attending the Internation-
al live stock exposition, and were with
friends at the Claremont tavern when
the place was held up by three masked
robbers.
Several days ago David Smith. who
had been blamed for the shooting
went to Warden Compton and said
that Ogle wanted to come clean"
Compton does not believe that Ban
aster had threatened Ogle but credits
Ogle with a volunteer decision to con-
fess.
The confession OF Ogle and a state
ment by Banaster were made in the
presence OF Warden Compton. James
Lewis, deputy warden and Eugene
HALEY. chief keeper and the convict
Smith. Ogle seems to be in an error
as to which of the men was Peringer
and which was Burgess. He spoke of
shooting Peringer several times. Bur-
CESS was the man who was repeatedly
shot while Peringer was shot only
once

TRACTOR TANK ROBBED
OF 50 GALLONS OF GAS

The fifty gallon tank on a tractor
owned by G. NJ. Morrison. well known
Adams farmer, and four gallon re-
serve tank, were drained OF every
drop OF gasoline last night. The trac-
tor was standing beside the road near
the Morrison ranch and the theft was
discovered this morning.
Evidence shows that an attempt
was made to remove the tank from
the tractor. Failing in this. the un-
known thief evidently decided to si-
phon the gas, for the gasoline pump
hose was cut into two or three pieces.
There Is no clue as to the Identity
OF the marauder.

PROPOSES STANDARDS
FOR GRADING OF WOOL

Washington. May 9-The Bureau
of Markets OF the Department OF Ag-
riculture in connection with its work
for the establishment OF uniform, wool
standards. has prepared types repre-
senting various grades OF wool. These
types were decided upon after exam
nation OF thousands of samples that
represent the opinion OF the trade
generally as to what should comprise
wool standards and now form the bas-
is of commercial transactions.
1t is proposed by Government ex-
perts to lay these types before wool
growers for the purpose of determin-
ing the practicabiIity OF their appli-
cation upon a commercial basis.
At present there are no fixed wool
grades in universal application. with
the result that the purchase OF the
producers product is based upon
arbitrary standards fixed by individ-
uals buyers.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL-
TURE READY TO FIGHT
HESSIAN FLY

Washington, May 13.-An:icipating
the possibility this spring of another
OF the numerous destructive outbreaks
OF the Hessian fly in the wheat fields
OF the country the Department OF
Agriculture has made ready to COM
bat it. Through appropriation by Con-
yress funds for the work were In
creased sufficiently to provide for the
principal needs and three stations for
the purpose of systematic study have
been established at Carlisle, Pa; Cen
trailia, ILL.,, and Wichita, Kans.
Through these stations it is hoped
more will be learned this year about
the Hessian fly than in any year since
the British General Howe's hired Hes
slams are supposed to have brought
the pest to Long Island during the
Revolution. Exhaustive investigations
are under way on parasites OF the
Hessian Hy to determine what effect
the presence or absence OF any parti'
cular parasite has on periodical visi
tations OF the fly. The last great out
break came five or six years ago.
