Allies Must Greet
Soviet In Unison
Says Poincare

Paris, Feb. 3.-(By Associated
Press)-The note prepared by
Premier Poincare defining the
conditions under which, from the
French viewpoint, the interna-
tional economic conference at
Genoa shall open, declares the
inclusion of soviet Russia may be
fraught with considerable danger
unless the allies agree in advance
on a common attitude toward the
soviet delegates.
NJ. Poincare considered the
agenda for the conference, as ar
ranged by the supreme council at
Cannes, too vague. 1t must be
made clear, he says, that article
two, labelled establishment of
European peace on solid basis, "
shall not in any way affect exist
ing treaties, for example, shall
not serve as the pretext for re-
opening the Silesian or repara-
tions questions.

GIRL SAYS
She SHOT
DANIELS0N
Treva Pote Testifies
to Grabbing Pistol
When Mother Faint
ed In Struggle

Everett, Wash, Feb. 3.-Treva
Pote, Is year old girl, in superior
court this morning testified that
she fired the second and third
shots that killed Gus Danielson at
the home of her mother here the
night of November six. Her moth
err, Mrs. Bertha Wilkes, is on trial
accused Of the death OF Daniel
son; the child is accused as an ac-
cessory.
Before going on the stand this
morning, Judge Alston, presiding
Judge, in the absence of the jury
admonished the girl that If she
shot Danielson to say SO and to
say SO If she did not shoot him.
The girls story was similar to
her mothers to the point where
the mother had testified she be-
came unconscious in her struggle
with Danielson. Treva then testi-
fled she picked UP the revolver
Danielson had dropped, squeezed
it" twice when Danielson came to-
ward her and then threw 1t away.
The girl began to weep under
cross examination and refused to
take the weapon into her hand
when asked to show how she had
held it.
Mrs. Wilkes became hysterical
crying to her daughter: why
didn't you tell me?"
The jury was sent from the
room, and the court asserted his
belief that the girl was innocent.
"The real tragedy" he said, "did
not take place at home; 1t has
taken place here"
"That woman has put her up
to it," he declared to the attor-
ney for the defense.
my girl says she did It," Mrs.
Wilkes replied. Mrs. Wilkes was
in Mysteries and the girl was sob
bing when recess was taken. AT
ter the recess the girl again went
on the stand and again testified
she had shot Danielson.

Frost Damage
Small; Grain
Suffers Slightly

Frost damage to loganberry
vines has been slight, according
to experts who have been in close
touch with farmers since the
heavy frosts few days ago. There
are but few vines which have
reached above the ground in
growth and these have not been
severely hurt.
Some damage has been done to
late sown grain in the lowlands
because of the ground freezing,
but no estimates are available.
The oat crop is believed to have
suffered most.
The broccoli has suffered to
some extent also, but before the
damage can be estimated 1t is nee
essary to wait for 1t thaw out.

Stage Pilots
Now Hope To
Beat Council

Salem stage drivers may yet de-
feat the city council and it's leg
islation for their special benefit
or detriment, as the case may
be.
The stage drivers, it is reported,
have seen great light. The So
luton of their problem, as they
see it, is simple enough.
The council has offered, to To-
cal stage men, franchises which
specify where they shall operate
and what their terminals shall be.
On the other hand, the aldermen
sell to local taxi men licenses
which permit them to operate
where they choose.
Why, say the stage men, should
we not disregard our right to a
franchise, and apply for a taxi
license which entities us to travel
where we wish? Why should we
be held to definite courses when
the jitney man determines his own
course? Let us vary our routes
slightly each day and thereby be-
come jitneys rather than stages.
City officials admitted this af-
terno2n that the argument of the
stage men is not without reason.
They added that the courts prob
ably will ultimately determine
whether or not the stage fran
ehise ordinance was worth enact

argued, because the series of hoTi>

BONUS ACT
TO SUPPLY
TAX MODE
Fordney Declares Bill
Will Provide Own
Means Of Raising
Necessary Coin

washington, rep. o-fTeS-
ident Harding expects to con-
fer with senate and house
leaders next Monday or Tues
day on means Of financing
soldier bonus.
Washington, Feb. 3.-Soldiers'
bonus legislation now under con-
sideration by the house ways and
means committee will carry a
provision for raising the neces-
sary revenue to finance it, Chair
man Fordney announced today af-
ter a conference with President
Harding. Whether the money will
lie obtained by internal taxes or
the use of proceeds from the re-
funded foreign debts or both, re-
mains to be determined, Mr.. Ford
ney said.
Mr.. Fordney expects the bill to
be ready for the house within two
weeks and thinks only few days
will be required for its passage.
Senate republicans in party con-
ference already have voted to press
the bonus legislation.
Because Of the uncertainty as
to the number of former service
men who will take the cash fea-
ture, the house committee is hav-
ing difficulty, in determining just
what the cost will be for the first
two years. Some estimates of the
bonus are as high as 80 per cent.
Arguments for and against the
tax on beer as a means Of raising
funds for the bonus were heard
today by the committee and at the
conclusion members indicated
very clearly that such tax was
not to be considered.

key to mystery which for "a

developed in his work by William
Desmond Taylor, noted motion
picture director, yelling his death
Wednesday night at his home here
from a slayer's bullet, according
to Investigators. These half
smoked remains, found near the
back door of a luxuriously ap-
pointed residence, give mute evil
dence that some man apparently
waited nervously there on the
evening OF the murder.
Stranger Is Seen.
They link with statements by
Mrs. Douglas MacLean, wife of
motion picture actor, that on the
evening of the murder she heard
a shot fired and looking from the
window Of her home, which over
looks that of Taylor, she saw a
man, stranger to her, emerge from
the front door of Taylor's home,
look back through and apparent
ly speak, close the door and de-
part.
Employees at an oil service sta-
tion declared that within an hour
prior to that time stranger
whom they describe similarly,

lived and they directed him to the
place where later the murder oc-

MacLean gives as Of the departure
Of the mystery man from Taylor's
house, a stranger boarded the car

Former Servant Not Man.
These revelations only served to
deepen the mystery, for Mrs. Mac
Lean, who knew the former SER

lice are seeking and who Taylor
reported to the police some time
ago as having stolen property and
money from him, said the stranger
was not his servant. The porch
light Of Taylor's home was on,
and Mrs. MacLean observed him
in its full glow.
The movements Of this stranger
coincide with the visit of Mabel
Normand, motion picture actress,
to Taylor's home on the evening
Of the murder. Taylor escorted
Miss Normand to her motor car
and talked a few minutes with her
there. The front door to his home
was open. Investigators suggest
that the stranger, who had been

Farmers Purchases
Affect All Lines Of
Industry in America

More than 100000 people. or a
third of those gainfully employed in
the United States, are engaged in agri-
culture. forestry and animal husbandry.
Their annual production of wealth is
more than S12,000 900, says Eugene
Meyer. Jr., in Farm Life. Ordinarily.
their buying power is enormous, and
upon it depends largely the prosperity
of railroads, industry and business
generally.
When agriculture is prosperous.
business is good; but when there is
distress in any of the important agri-
cultural sections the vibrations of that
distress are promptly felt i'll the manu-
featuring and industrial centers. When
the buying power of the middle west
ern farmer is diminished. it may mean
the closing Of shoe factories in New
England or lumber mills in the south.
When the southern farmer is I'M
able to sell his cotton. ii may mean un-
employment for thousands of workers
not only in. the automobile plants of
Detroit and the furniture factories of
Michigan. but also in the very mills
that convert raw cotton into cotton
goods of all kinds.
When the stockman of the west
l1CkF the ADllllN 10 DuS' u Niluliy dt-
fects the business men in many distant
states. from whom he gets his hats
and clothes. his saddles and harness,
his equipment and supplies.
National advertising and national
sales organizations. accompanied by
mass production, have nationalized the
desires of the people. The immense
network of railways. waterways and
other transportations lines. the devel-
opment of Journalism, which has put
a newspaper in virtually every com
munity, the extension of postal facili-
ties--these and a hundred and one
other influences have served to knit
this nation into a close and homogen-
eous economic fabric and to make each
part dependent upon the rest for the
things it needs and for a market for
the things 1t produces.
