Dr. Oxam said the capitol of the world is where the population is, and that is the Pacific Coast. He called the graduating class "students of the class of '23 of the capitol of the world." To succeed in life, one must do five things he said, first, spend an hour a day studying world affairs; second, understand the economic background of the nation; third study history; fourth, understand the nations; fifth, learn the religion of other countries. These five impressions should follow any student who is going cut in the world, for after graduation is when a person's life begins. Dr. Oxam left the feeling for all to aim high and to be a guide for the coming generation, always striving to aim straight. Miss Margaret McOmie delivered the valedictory and told the different members of the graduating class.

SEEK SUSPECT FOR TAYLOR MURDER SEATTLE, June 9.—Sheriff Matt Starwich is seeking Otis Hefner, Texas stockman, a stockade prisoner here a few months ago, with the belief that a new clue to the identity of the slayer of William Desmond Taylor, moving picture director, killed in Hollywood a year ago, may be held by Hefner. Jailed here a year ago, four months after the Taylor slaying, Hefner led a party from the prosecuting attorney's and sheriff's offices to the spot where he declared a bag had been cached with $200,000 in stolen bonds, currency and a diamond ring. Recent digging indicated that some one had beat the party to it. Attorney Crawford White today revealed that while acting as counsel for Hefner the latter confided that Taylor had been slain by a gang of five bandits, of which Hefner confessed himself to be a member. "They had been robbing trains and banks in various parts of the country, my client told me," White said. "Dividing the spoils, my client was given the $200,000 and the Taylor diamond, which he cached near the city limits." Hefner pleaded guilty here to automobile thefts and was given a suspended sentence. No clue to his whereabouts is known as present, though the sheriff's office has broadcast a warning to Pacific coast points to pick him up.
