days after the murder; that he had
"a bullet wound ia his right arm,
blood on the handle of revolver
he owned and blood ON his coat
sleeve. The ealiber of revolver
owned by Casey and that supposed
to belong to John L. Burns and hid
den behind folding bed in an adj
Joining room was the same as that
of the weapon which fired the death
shots. Casey refused to tell the of
ficers how he received the injured
hand, which was bandaged when he
was found, it was asserted.
Foutss declared Casey was in a
grocery store at Mississippi avenue
and Russell street until nearly 10
clock that night buying straw
berries and cream, and at the time
of the shooting and for an hour
thereafter was in the lodging house
with Mr.. and Mrs. Burns, eating
Strawberries and chatting.
Casey was a spanish-American
war veteran, declared his attorney,
and had been staying for some time
in the lodgings operated by the
Burns family. He was in a railroad
accident some years ago and always
used bandages and liniment since
that time, this accounting for the
protusion of the same in his room
WHEN he was found, said Fouts.
Blood in the yard behind the lodg-
ings was caused by the killing OF a
chicken there some nights before,
it was asserted.

Young America
Sends Vast Relief
To Needy Abroad

Various relief projects Of the Junior
American Red Cross In European
countries resulted In helping $4,000
destitute children during the last fis-
cal year, according to the annual re.
port of the American Red Cross for
that period. The growth of the actlyi-
ties of the Juniors abroad is mani
tested by comparison which shows
this figure is 100000 larger than that
of the previous fiscal year.
The National Children's Fund raised
by school children, members of the
Junior American Red Cross, was
drawn upon for $500, ,557 for these prof.
ects. Receipts for the National Chill.
dren's Fund during the last fiscal year
totalled $155.317.

FORMER KING HILL
! man ON TRIAL FOR
PORTLAND MURDER
Dan cesey, Charged With
Shooting Portland Police
man Being Tried at That
City.

Dan Casey, formerly resident Of
the King Hill neighborhood, and
last winter an object OF attention
from Sheriff Stevens following a raid
on his cabin in which was found a
plant for the making oil MS and a
large amount OF merchandise that
had been stolen from the o. S. Il.
is in trial at Portland for the muir
der Of policeman. Casty left this
country after the raid on his place.
The following account is from the
Oregonian:
Fearful that the tears Of the wild
ow might affect the jury unfavor-
ably towards their client, Seneca
Fouts and Barge e. Leonard, at
torneys, requested of the court dur
ing the opening hours OF the trial
of Dan Casey for murder yesterday
afternoon that all witnesses be ex-
cused from the courtroom. A
whispered consultation and the mo-
tion was withdrawn, after Deputy
District Attorney Hammersly led
Mrs. James Harry Phillips, sobbing
from the room.
1t was during the introduction OF
the blood-stained clothes worn by
her husband the night he was slain
by box-car robbers in the Albina
railroad yards that Mrs. Phillips
gave way to her emotion. During
the few moments she had been on
the stand as first witness fer the
state the black garbed, pale-ifaced
woman had controlled herself, wink
ing back rising tears but unable to
choke down entirely the sob in her
voice.
An alibi was the defense offered
for Casey in the opening statement
made by Attorney Fouts yesterday.
Against this Deputy District Ham
mersly erected structure Of deve-
,l4taileff eeiasscumstantial evidence Fouts
said he woald be able to prove BY
witnesses the V'hereapouts Of Casey
until ii o'clock the might OF the Kill
ling miles from the scene. The shoot
ing occurred shortly after 10 o'clock
Hammersly promised to produce az
man who would identity Casey posi-
lively as one of two men he saw near
the scene of the murder just prior
to the shooting.
An important bit OF evidence for
the state was a wound dp casey's 81
right arm, caused, the state will say,
by a bullet fired fromthe revolver
os1shiliips.
II Hammersly outlined the states
case. He said Phillips had gone IN
to the yards III the caboose Of b 40
car dreight train on the night OIL
june u 4, 1921, IN company with Her
man q. schneider, another special
ofiicer. Phillips saw two men break
ing into d box car and ordered them
10 throw up their hands, to which
they replied BY firing at THE officer.

wounded BY three bullets and one

NO HALT IN CONSTRUCTION

The United States senate. although it
voted unanimously for the Borah re5o-
luton authorizing and requesting the
presiden, to invite Great Britain and
Japan TO a naval limitations conference
has rejected O proposal BY Senator
Pomcrene to halt naval construction for
six months pending the arranG Hmcn. #
the conference.
This action indicates a proper appre.
citation OF the realities of the situation.
There il no certainty that the limltia-
lions. conference will be Il success. and
IL not the hating OF construction would
simply mean the loss OF six months 81

sentiment. Provided tho conference be

facilities will the roads he able to give

Another interesting View on freight
rates is that given Saturday by f'dwar
Chambers vice president Of the Santa
Fe system. Mr. Chambers contends that
freight rates do not show an unredSon-
able relation To the price OF GonlS do
livered. II other words nc believes th-'
freight rates are not too high as they
now stand. Similar sentiments have
been expressed BY other railroad mon.
some IF whom contend that freight IS
the cheapest service now being rendered
10 the American people.
As matter OF fact, freight rates are
one OF the greatest modern mysteries.
It nigh, be thought that exact figures
on them would be constantly availab' :.
as the result Of scientific study. 1t y
astonishing. but true. that no such study
has ever been made. and that when
Secretary Of Commerce Herbert Hoover
recently asked for statistics showing
basic facts about freight rates the rail-
roads were unable TO furnish them. be-
cause nobody knew.
Perhaps freight rates as a whole are
not too high. Perhaps they are too high
on some articles and too low on other.-
II Is contcnded by som" that freight
rates should he readJuStcd by lowering
rates on bulky articles, such as building
materials. and raising them on articles
such as shoes. on which the freight bears
only slight relation to the retail price,
The subject is too important to be per

nary justice both 10 the railroads and
