PLAGUE OF CRIME
PRODUCED Fl DEATHS
IN MURDER BLOCK"
BY HERBERT LITTLE

CENTERvILLE. Ia, Aug 81
Iowa's murder block" in the Italian
residence district in this little town
Of seven thousand, has seen twenty
one tragic deaths in the last fifteen
years.
Beautiful young Italian girls have
been the "loreleis" that caused eight
of the murders in the lathal area,
and eight young suitors lie in a near
by graveyard.
The mood of killing has hung over
the spot. Most Of the murderers
have been erstwhile friends of the
victims, turned traitor to friendship
by greed, passion, jealousy and the
green eyed god of envy.
Camilla Russo, pretty school girl
who broke into newspaper headlines
a year ago slew her man in the fatal
district. She lived on a corner near
by.
The last crime was three months
ago, Wucu d McAlCdu AdUOICI, ICAuoCN
credit by an Italian ice cream peddlel
shot and killed the peddler as HI
was driving across the street inter
section.
Three of the deaths resulted from
shooting duels following arguments
over honor. One man was fount
dead in the street, pockets ransacket
and a pick run through his back, sew
eral years ago. Two Italians, pals 70
years, met with .3S caliber auto
mates one sultry afternoon, and sho
1t out. Both were killed.
One Italian, unidentified, was foun'
lying across the crossing with hi
throat cut. Four of the slayings re

knives and revolvers were too easil

LOOK FOR SOLDIERS
WHO HIT HOLTHUSEN
AND PURLO INED CAR

The Olympia police Sunday were
looking for two men In soldier uni
form who are believed to have stolen
an automobile Saturday night and
to have assaulted Pete H0lthusen Of
the Standard Cigar Factory as he was
ON his way home.
The Chevrolet car Of c. A. Warner
was reported missing early in the
evening. Sunday morning It was found
on Central street with the switch
broken and the spare tire missing.
A man living where the car was
found said he saw two men in soldier
uniform working about the car and
asked them II they were having any
trouble. They replied that they were
out of gas. A few minutes later they
left the place, abadoning the car.
Holthusen, walking out sixth street
near the O-W tracks, was assaulted
by two men, one Of whom struck him
over the head with club. The blow
did not knock him out and Holthusen
hollered for help. A brakeman on 4
circus train that was being loaded
told the police he saw two men in
soldier uniform run from the spot
after Holthusen had cried out. HOl.
thusen was not badly hurt.
A checkup on the soldiers know
to be in town Sunday did not result
in any suspicion being pointed at any
OF them.

The twice postponed pleas were
made before Judge Sidney Reeve. in
the Hall Of Justice. w
Immense throngs packed the court
room, corridors and even the side
walks surrounding the building as
the principals In the weird midnight
murder" case formally declared their
innocence. Trial was set for Nov. /.
Madalynne and Burch offered q
dramatic contrast as they made their
pleas today. o
Burch answered the murder charge
first.
''Not guilty" he said in clear,
firm voice. He stood erect and self
possessed. There was no shade of
uncertainty in his bearing.
Madalynne Obenchain, standing by
the side of her former husband, r.
Obenchain, spoke the words mot
guilty" very softly.
Her lips were seen to move, but
her voice was scarcely audible. Oben-
chain whispered quiet word of en-
couragement. She smiled wanly at
him, in thanks.
She accepted Ralph Obenchain'a
arm In arising when Judge Reeve
called her name. So faint was her
voice when she answered that many
spectators did not know she had
entered a plea, and were surprised
when she resumed her seat, appar
entity without speaking.

STATE REGULATION
AUTOMOBILE TRAFFIC.
STARTS COMPLICATIONS
Observation-Disclosures Operator Is
Denied Certificate by Public
Works Department.

necessity dispute over automobile
freight traffic between Washougal in
this state and Portland in Oregon
interstate jurisdiction is assumed by
the state department of public works
and this action arises a question as to
whether the interstate commerce
commission will undertake to regu-
late automobile traffic from one
state to another. The department is
authorized to grant certificates OF
necessity to all stage and automobile
freight lines operating in this state
under the motor vehicle laws of 1921.
The interstate commerce commission
has no congressional authority to
regulate automobile traffic anywhere,
but 1t does have jurisdiction over all
other interstate traffic while state
regulative bodies are held to function
entirely within their own state bor-
ders, except where joint action Is
taken by agreement with a neigh
boring state. The Portland automo-
bile case may raise the issue for
final determination, and the Wash
ington public works department
would have no objection to that as
several similar cases are now coming
up from eastern Washington on auto
mobile traffic across the Idaho bound
airy line.
The department of public works
denies H. G. Slocum certificate to
operate a freight truck between the
cities of Washougal and Portland in
the Oregon case. On that run he
leaves the state of Washington when
he crosses the Columbia river at
Vancouver and has still ten miles
into Oregon before he reaches Port
land and in effect tells him II he has
ington department rules him OF the
run between Washougal and Port
land and in effect tells him is he has
any interstate sentiments to acquaint
his attorney with them and then
pay the state department q visit.
c. w. Smith in the same order, Is
authorized to handle automobile
truck business between Washougal
and Portland on condition that he
revise his traf1c classidcations to
the satisfaction of the traffic division
Of the Washington department, and
also to make such rate reductions as
may be found reasonable after his
charges are sorted out and classified.
This section Of the order amounts to
rate regulation and reduction to q
certain extent within the state Of
Oregon which has not yet taken up
the matter of the regulation Of auto
mobile trafhc. Smith II directed to
submit his new schedule within 10
days. II he objects to being regu-
lated within the state Of Oregon by
Washington authority and Oregon
objects to the extension Of Washing
ton authority across the Columbia
river, the contest will introduce a
new complication into the already IN
volved matter Of automobile regula-
ton.
