l. legislature Alone
Can Shift Method
Of Tax Depo'siting

Only legislative action can
change the practice of depositing
revenues from state taxes on
motor fuel oil sales in the general
fund of the state before apportion-
ment of the same to the state
highway fund, according to State
Treasurer o. P. Hoff.
Hoff's statement was prompted
by press reports to the effect that
]. M. Devers. attorney for the
highway department planned to
enter a formal protest against this
practice which. Devers claims,
stands to embarrass the highway
department in financial way at
some future date.
According to Hoff neither his
department nor that of the secre-
tary of state has any discretion in
the handling of these revenues.
The legislative act imposing a
tax on motor fuel oil sales pro-
vides very specially that the fund
shall be deposited in the general
fund of the state thereafter to be
apportioned on each March Is
and September Is, one-fourth to
the counties in, which the fund
originated and three-fourths to
the state highway department.

Salem Pastor And
Girl Facing Grace
Charges, Unrut1led

An apparent incredulity, tend
Ing to indicate their moral in
nocence, and a plainly unassumed
naivete which baffled officers
We're manifested last evening by
both the Rev. Fred Royston, So
year-old minister, and Miss
frankie Edwards, 1S-year-old
Salem high school girl, when they
talked to police and newspaper
men in the Salem city jail.
Miss Edwards and the Rev. Mr..
Royston were arrested at Cen
tralia, Wash, Thursday night,
and held for Salem officers.
Royston is jailed on charge of
white slavery, having failed to
produce the $1,000 demanded as
bail, and Miss Edwards, also in
carcerated, is accused of commit
ting an immoral act. Neither has
been told the nature of the
charges by which they are faced.
Stories Check Well
Stories, ELECTED from the pair
by newspaper men, checked per-
fectly. Both said they left Salem
about 2 o'clock Monday morning
on train from which they
alighted at Cook, Ore. From there,
they said, they hiked to Portland
where they loitered but a short
while before going to Vancouver,
Washington. Each declared they
expected to remain together only
until Miss Edwards should secure
employment somewhere.
His shoulders covered by a
heavy blanket, professionally
benign expression on his clerical
countenance, bald, unperturbed,
Royston readily replied to ques-
,tions shot at him.

Girl Unperturbed
Miss Edwards, clad in "kover-
alls,1' appeared no more worried
than her Jailed escort. Very sim
ply she explained that Royston S
wife had requested her to leave
town because, Miss Edwards said,
Mrs. Royston feared the ultimate
outcome of the relationship ex-
listing between the high school
girl and her husband. Royston,
she declared, went with her at
her request, but she insisted that
they both had agreed he should
return here as soon as she had
found work. She said she had
known the preacher for more than
six years, and declared that her
friendship for him was purely OF
the platonic variety,
Feared Being Caught
Miss Edwards said that Roys-
ton possessed plenty of money to
pay their fares on the train. had
they elected to travel in that man
ner, but she explained they hiked
most of the way north because
they feared apprehension. Each
night they were gone, she said,
they slept out in the open.
Royston recently was gradu-
ated from a four-year course at
the Kimball School of Theology,
and he is the father of 10-year-
old girl. A short time ago he
agreed to take over a pulpit at
Keizer bottom, a small community
located just north of Salem. Miss
Edwards, with the appearance OF
a IA or 15-year-old girl. has at
no time manifested any concern
over the fact that she is behind
the bars. She declares herself to
be innocent of any crime and says
that she left merely because she
WANTED to get away"
Royston and Miss Edwards prob
ably will be arraigned in the JUS
tice court here this afternoon.

Indian Work
Conference
Closes Here

The Indian workers conference
held in connection with the Will
lamette school for rural pastors
drew to a close yesterday, but sew
eral of the Indian teachers Will re-
main for part or all of the school.
DR.. E. e. Higley, in charge OF the
Indian program, will leave Tues
day morning for an inspection OF
many of the northwestern Indian
reserves.
The work of the conference has
been inspirational and education
al. according to DR.. Higley, who is
pleased with the work that has
been accomplished. Coming as
result of the conference, some new
field workers will be sent to some
of the northwestern reservations
to instruct in home methods and
uplift work. "What the Indian
needs is more of the gospel of soap
and water" said DR.. Higley. Three
out of five children die under the
age of five years on the reserva-
tions, according to authentic fig
ures, the greater number of deaths
by far being due ii ignorance. The
purpose of the instruction will be
to decrease the frightful figure
through sanitation and scientific
child nursing.
That the young people of a com
munity cannot be reached through
the regular Sunday religious serv-
ices alone was emphasized last
night by Ralph A, FELTON,, head of
the community work at the school
for rural pastors, who addressed
the school last night. He demon
strated the successful methods
used by various churches in or
ganizing young peoples clubs to
center their interest on the church
and the church work.
The old fashioned preacher who
is satisfied with propounding
church doctrines from the pulpit
on Sunday is a back number en-
tirely out of the race, he pointed
out. Many examples exist where
the church has been saved
through the grip it had on the
young people that it has attained
through progressive methods.

CAMBLED FOR
STOLEN GOODS
Express Messengers Played
Poker for Loot Taken
from Shipments.
(ey The Associated Press).

MACON, Ga, March 17.-Many val
liable express shipments, alleged to
have been stolen by messengers, were
used to pay poker debts contracted in
games on the trains, w. A. Hughes,
former messenger, informed jury in
United States district court here this
afternoon in the trial of more than so
persons on charges of conspiracy to
steal from the United States govern
ment.
1t developed that Hughes has been
under guard for some time and that
the court has ordered that he be close
ly guarded throughout the trial, be-
cause of alleged threats that have been
made upon his life if he gave damag-
ing testimony at the trial.
Hughes said that he had had con-
versations with all but two of the
defendants in regard to stealing ex-
press shipments. He talked rapidly
and coolly, revealing with the utmost
composure the theft of thousands of
dollars worth of goods.
On one accession, Hughes said, that
C. r. Baker, a conductor negotiated
with him for the purchase of a bicycle,
and that the wheel was carried up and
down the road by C. r. Brinson, who
was on an opposite run, failing to
make the delivery on each trip.
"one day" said Hughes, Bakers
train met mine and he stuck his head
in my door and furiously yelled,
Where's my bicycle"
Il signalled to him to keep quiet"
Next day" the witness continued,
II met Baker and told him that he
played hell, that there was a route
agent in my car. 4 don't care" he
quoted Baker as saying, 81 want that
bicycle We had big laugh over it."
He declared Baker was so furious
that he would not pay him more than
$25. Prior to the fall of 1917 messen-
gers were required TO account for all
shipments lost. He told OF the increase
in shipments after that time and the
impossibility of keeping records be-
cause OF the congestion. He said that
he stole from the fan of 1917 until
August. 1920. when he was arrested
