FREIGHT RATES CAUSE FOOD PRICES IN EAST
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Experts From Department of Agriculture Are Considering the Problem
By DAVID L. BLUMENFIELD.
(United Press Staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5—The problem of forcing lower food prices in the east is now being considered by Gov. John Kitzhaber. Agriculture, it was learned today.
One cause of present high food prices in the east is high freight rates, which apparently cannot be forced to pre-war levels for some time, officials said. Their solution is that the east must strive to feed itself more and not depend so much or shipments from the west.
Officials said it is cheaper to send a barrel of apples from Seattle to London via the Panama Canal, then by rail to New York. Meat and ceramic are shipped from the Philippines at a centric cheaper than from the Dakotas to the eastern towns.
A subsidy for eastern farms in order to encourage farm production has been suggested and is being considered, but considerable objection has been raised to it. Some plan may be suggested to Congress.
"The west and south cannot afford to produce enough for the stoochs of the big eastern towns, so much of the city presents altitude," one official said.
For some time, it was said, the department had been considering the question of the east feeding the east.
"The east fed herself before the civil war—the east will have to feed herself again after the great war," it was said.
"General subsidy of farms cannot come in a moment," said the officia'

Klan Investigation by Ten Texas Committees
Dallas, Texas, Oct. 5. The Klu Klux Klan and other masked organizations are to face grand jury interviews in at least ten Texas communities.
Judges in these courts condemned the "Invincible Empire" in their instructions to the jury making the investigation. Reports early today from the satanator at Waco where Lewis Crow, Waco hardrumpman, one of many wounded in a ravish infray, was to the effect that he was sinking.
Crow was said to have been an innocent bystander, one of the two or three thousand who went to Lorena to witness the parade. Crow's death was the first fatality in the "Klan war" in Texas which has grown more intense. He received knife wounds during the Lorena riot. Crow was sitting in his auto with his family, relatives declared, and when the melee started he was struck with a degree of humanity which crowded about the Klausmen and Sheriff Buckham who was later hurled to the ground.
Louie Crow, Waco laundryman wounded during the battle between sheriff's forces and Ku Klux Klan sympathizers when an attempt was made to stop the Klan parade on Saturday night, died here today.
Buchanan lost his gun, it was said, and got out a dirk knife and "cut" his way out of the throng, according to eye witnesses. Crow was one of
those who stood in the path of the sheiff. He was stabbed in his right breast and liver.
At first it was believed that Crow was not as seriously injured as Sheriff Buchan and Policeman Howard who are still fighting for their lives. It is expected that the McLennan County grand jury investigating the affair will be reconvened immediately an a result of Crow's death.
POISON GAS USED TO FIGHT CROP PESTS
The Developments of War Must be the Implements of
Peace
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5—(United Press.) —The chemical Warfare Service, which devised deadly gasses for destroying men during the war, is working to produce poisons that will displace the oil of the boll weevil and other nests.
"The developments of war must be the implements of peace," Brigadier-General Amos A. Fries, chief of chemical warfare of the army, said in announcing the coming campaign. Successful chemical drives against rodents in Cuba recently predict equal success for extermination by the same means of the boll weevil and other agencies which are seriously damaging the crops of the country.
War against all manner of destructive posts will be undertaken by the War Department, of which the boll weevil is perhaps the most dangerous to agriculture, while the rodent is likely the greatest menace in the cities.
At present the army is working on a request from Representative Philip D. Swing, of Imperial Valley, California, who hopes to use the poison in a vehicle that would be in that community. He was told that the Chemical Warfare Service could make a poison that would kill some of the birds and drive off the others, but that the farmers would have to content themselves with using the crops as food, as the chemicals would destroy the resalving value of the fruit.
The Congressman pointed out that as things stand the farmers get neither food nor seed. He was then assured that the government's series of experiments that would protect both the grain and its re-seeding qualities.

Rumor of Vladivostock Capture is Questioned
Paris, Oct. 5.—An unconfirmed wireless report from Riga stated that a Bolshevik army had captured Vladivostok. This was the first inland invasion of the war, going on in the extreme eastern theater of war. Lacking confirmation of the report military experts were inclined to consider it another of the meaningless rumors recently put out by the air by Russian wireless stations.
one Bandit Robbed and Tortured Late Revelers
Fort Worth, Texas, Oct. 5 — A lone negero band who held up, robbed and tortured members of a "late Fort Worth house party" escaped after attempting to assault a girl whom he used as a shield in the robbery. He was caught by parties headed by police and deputy sheriff's.
Entering the home of Judge and Mrs. Calloway, the bandit forced members of the house party to aid in the tying of other victims after which he spent an hour kicking and beating them. Valuables he obtained included $15 worth of jewellery and $21 in cash.

Prominent Citizen Enacts Tragic Drama of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde; Now Claims He Has Forgotten
Then one night wayfarers discovered Brumfield's car affair at the foot of a steep embankment. Aid was summoned, and there, beneath the car, they found a body wearing Brumfield's ring, his cravat pin, with his keys hanging in the automobile ignition look, but with the head cover removed in dynamic. Sticks of dynamite were found in the car. Search started for Dennis Russell as the murderer of "good ole Doc Brumfield."
Almost everybody agreed it was the Doc's corpse, but some began to doubt. An inquest was held. The town divided. Some said the body

Then he bought additional land, heaped added financial burdens upon himself until the citizens of Roseburg began to regard him as a man who would be able to game quietly, calmly, for large stakes. He was carrying a big load.
He continued to mingle with the life of the town. He was the leading exponent of the arts, was well-read, and was a lifelong love of poetry, music, and literature.
ROSEBURG, Ore., Oct. 4. (United Press.)—Roseburg's own tragic drama of Dr. Jekyl, suspected as Mr. Hyde, will approach its denouement here tomorrow when Dr. Richard Melvin Brumfield, once a popular dentist here, is scheduled to go to trial to answer charges implicating him as the murderer of Dennis Russell, hermit laborer, the night of July 12.
The date rule will be off for the show at the Bowersock Theatre, Oct. 6, but for that event only.-Dorothy Stanley, Pres. W. S. G. A.

Brumfield came to Roseburg from Indiana, settled down as one of the city's leading dentists and made for himself an enviable niche as a socialIcon. He married. For some years matters went smoothly for the Brumfield family. Then it seemed as if all the four leafcress on his rack just outside the window burned down. Later the new home he built also burned. In each case he had insurance to cover or nearly to cover the loss.
was Brumfield's, others said it was Russell's. Men came forward who said they had seen the two together the night of the murder, had heard gun shots, had seen Brumfield bundling something that looked like a corpse into his automobile. The corpse was clothed in Brumfield's rough working clothes. Russell's letters were found in the pocket. The coroner decided the body was that of Russell and instead of hunting for Russell, they began hunting for Brumfield. A reward of $2500 was
The "Doc" was found in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and was brought back here to face trial. He was indicted. But he couldn't remember. He might have committed the murder; if the officers said so, there must be something to it. On the other hand, it seemed to him that if he had killed a man he should feel some response. He felt none he said.
He just "couldn't remember." Brumfield confessed to having attacks of amnesia at recurrent intervals during his life, and they had proved embarrassing. And he could not explain why he had shipped a box of feminine "pretties" to him, because she was so unhappy with "Norman Whitney"; the alias he assumed while working on an Alberta farm prior to his arrest.
But the authorities say his financial condition when he left Roseburg indicates an entirely different story. They claim he was in debt to a sum exceeding $25,000, and that he was insured for over $1,300. They discovered, they say, that he had borrowed every dime he could get, had mortgaged his real property limit, and had his bank balance surpassed to the last dollar. They say he attempted to pose as a corpse so that the insurance money would be paid to his wife and his creditors would be satisfied. He himself, they say, was weary of the grind and wanted freedom from care.
