gsted he relate some or the nfe
history OF his brother, DR.. e. n.
Todd. president Of Puget Sound
college at Tacoma. Considerable
emphasis was laid upon the OIL
cial positions which DR. Todd has
occupied, and later by Todd on
the church positions he has held In
addition to his school jobs.
Todd told the jury ne was intro
duced to Byron in 1908 by his
brother, who received claim from
Byron at that time in Jefferson
county. Wash.
The first Salem person to whom
Todd introduced Byron was a. A.
Lee, he said, a very personal
friend. The next was Miss Mar
garet Cosper. assistant superin-
tendent OF schools. Todd then
went down the list and named vic
tim after victim in the deal. He
told how some Salem people beg
ged to be allowed to sign con-
tracts, and dwelt at length on the
E. E. Bergman transaction, stat
ing that Bergman had secured a
claim with the aid Of $1185 which
he loaned him, but had never re-
turned the money. Todd said he
gave Bergman $685. to pay for the
claim for filing fees, $500 to pay
Byron his location fee and $50
expense money.
Todd 'professed to know nothing
about timber lands at that time,
and said he believed every word
Byron told him. The stories he
told Salemites about the timber
lands were not HIS own stories, he
said. but Byron's. Each time
Byron returned TO Salem from

of the $500 he invested. Todd
said the money was returned TO
him by wire from Portland by BY
ron, and that he turned the West
ern Union order over to Perry.

use OF GAS
PROBLEM
OF FUTURE
Possibility of Limiting
Poison Vapors De-
pends Upon Science
Says General
By Majgen, Sir F. Maurice.

London, Nov. 22.--Major Lefe-
bure's study Of chemical warfare
in his book "The Riddle OF thd
Rhine" has presented to us IN
an authoritative form the dangers
to which the unrestricted deve-
iopment OF science directed to des
truction will expose humanity.
Since the subject OF the use Of
poison gas in warfare was mo0ted
at this years meeting OF the
British Association there has
been much discussion in the press
and find that a number OF scien-
lists have declared that the use
OF poison gas in their opinion not
inhuman, or at least not more
inhuman than the employment OF
explosive shell or other forms OF
destruction.
Up to Scientists.
I desire to combat this view
because, as I have stated previous
ly, l believe that the possibility
Of limiting the use OF poison in
war depends largely upon the
scientists. My opinion has now
been endorsed by the Assembly
OF the League of Nations, which
has adopted the report of its
Third Commission on the reduc-
tion OF armaments. That report
contains the following passage:
at has been stated that inven-
tions have been made or perfected
since the war whereby wholesale
destruction of the civil population
would be possible by the dropping
OF poison bombs and the like from
the air, nor is there any reason
to suppose that the limits of In
vention in these fiendish devices
have been reached. And II, as
seems possible to the committee
to be arguable, the employment of
these weapons will be rendered i'm
practicable II there we're no secre-
cy about them, the possibility OF
obtaining complete publicity for
scientific research in this domain
Is certainly worth exploring.
Appeal to Science.
Accordingly the committee rec
ommends that the Temporary
Mixed Commission should be asked
to consider whether an appeal
should not be addressed to all sci
entific men in the world. urging
them to publish to the world the
results Of their discoveries in such
matters, SO that the knowledge OF
them, having become public prop
erty, their use as weapons OF war
by any single state may be rend-
cred improbable.

The negro women had been held

It 10 indicated that little is to be

that the injuries sustained BY him
