CONSIDERABLE mystery has en-
~ shrouded the death of Lord Kit
chener who was drowned while on
his way to Russia in a cruiser during
the early part of 1917. Some people
claim that he is still living, but that
for some mysterious reason, his
whereabouts are kept secret by the
government. This is a pure yarn on
a par with the one which insists on
placing the car among the living.
The latest story about the manner in
which the Germans got wind Of Kit
chener's intended trip to Russia is
from czarist general in New York.
He says that one night while the car
was drunk, he informed a general in
command of the imperial palaces of
Kitcheners proposed trip. The czar's
drunken indiscretion finally reached
the ears of the Germans with results
not altogether to the advantage of
Kitchener. This story can be taken
for what it is worth.
THE amalgamation movement is

under way for one of the biggest

about in this country. The properties

Alted in the bituminous coal region
jf northern West Virginia, with an
annual capacity of 21,0O0,OOO tons.

This being a great international

cured such noted characters as j.
Henry Lewis. and DR.. r. Nathaniel
Dett. one OF the noted composers Of
America Prof. Roy Tibbs, of How,

participate in the music. Judge our
surprise when we learned that there
was to be segregation at the Capital
of the United States, where we would
least expect it, against a group OF
the nations constituents, who have
been faithful, loyal and patriotic to
this great Government.
I'VE felt we could not submit to
this ostra&sm, and though We had
two hundred noted singers. with
voices unsurpassed, to participate,
when we found the segregation ex-
listed. we could not be humiliated In
the eyes of the foreign women who
had come to believe that America
was the land of the free and the
home of the brave.

Blame for the escape of three conVlctS

Will L. King prominent attorney, VINO
will defend the convicts-Murray. hel
ley and Willos-when they go on trial
for their lives in October. Attorney
King took the case at the request oi
Murray. youthful leader of the trio,
who wired him from prison.
Interest in the case of the three con
Victs. who terrorized a large part OF
the State recently in their sensational
attempt for liberty, has been helsht-
ened by the announcement that w III
King will defend the men. Mr.. King
is a national Democratic committee
man. He served four years as jus
tice of the Supreme Court of oregon,
and in 1912 was selected by President
Wilson as one Of his campaign mana
gers. In 1918 he was appointed chief
counsel in the Department OF Interior
at Washington.
Keep Prisoners idle.
"Antiquated customs prevailing at
Oregon State Prison and tolerated by
The State Legislature are directly re
Sponsible for the murder OF two
guards shot in the desperate attempt
Of the three men TO escape from lntol-
cradle confinement and idleness.' says
Mr. King. The prison does not tur-
nish sufficient employment. Hall the
prisoners are idle all the time. Idle
men become restless. Leave man IN
prison a year with nothing to do but
study meanness and you have man
turned against the world
The attorney declares the men were
not of a murderous type, but that the
shooting was a result of ''unCiviliZed
conditions in the prison, for which the
legislature is responsible.
Charges Merciless Policy.
Mr. King, who has opposed capital
punishment for many years. deplores
the fact that the Oregon government
does not seem inclined TO exercise its
prerogative of committing sentences
in exceptional cases, as is done in
other States
This merciless policy. be con
tends has a tendency TO make crlml-
nails more desperate in their efforts TO
escape, knowing there is no hope.
After committing capital offense,
they commit others in a frantic effort
for self-preservation."
