DOUMER ASSASSINATED AT PARIS EXHIBITION (Continued from Page One) ters and several of his physicians. Mme. Doumer, who gave four sons to the republic on the battle fields of the Great war, broke down completely. The president was shot by Dr. Paul Gorgulov, who told police that his purpose was to “cause France to declare war on Russia.” It was learned that some time before midnight M. Doumer ex pressed astonishment at finding himself in a hospital bed and he was told: "You have had an auto mobile accident.” The old statesman who had given four sons to France was smiling a kindly greeting to the veterans he loved so dearly when two bullets from the assassin’s automatic crashed into his slender body. M. Doumer crumpled to the floor. "Impossible!" he murmured. There was an instant’s pause, then those in the distinguished company nearest their president sprang into action. You'll never see a fun nier comedy or one that has more thrills than this one. TODAY ONLY 'Rkkaxd fuck. ARLENOAKIE VIRGINIA BRUCE TOmUIiT’S UEV1VAL at 11:00 P. M.

Opening the brief, impressive i ceremony this afternoon, Dr. Arn- | old Bennett Hall, president of the University, will read a letter from COLONIAL LAST TIMES TONIGHT The BIG Former History Professor To Talk Early Next Week Presentation of ‘Beggar’s Opera’ Oeeasion for Barnes Lecture Donald Barnes, former professor of English history, will present a lecture on English politics in con nection with the presentation of the Beggar's Opera. This address will be presented under the auspices of the commit tee on Free Intellectual Activities,; and is offered as an extra lecture on their program. It will be given next Thursday night at 8 o’clock, the place to be designated sometime next week. This will be the night before the first presentation of the Beggar’s Opera at the Music building. Professor Barnes will deal with the time between 1720 and 1730 in English history. The public is invited as the lecture is free. Barnes will be remembered by juniors and seniors for his wit in adapting historical selections to the classroom.

The donor of the statue will read a letter presenting his gift to the state, and C. L. Starr, president of the state board of higher education, will accept. The Rev. Mr. Meyers will load those present in a short prayer. The University polyphon ic choir will sing “Candlelight,” and Miss Barker will then unveil the statue. Following the dedication cere mony, mothers, pioneers and stu dents will go to McArthur court for the annual Mother’s day ban quet. Here representatives of the pioneer associations, the Oregon Mothers, and the associated stu dents, will speak. All will be honor guests at the canoe fete imme diately afterwards. The "Pioneer Mother” statue is a gift not only to honor Mr. Bar ker’s mother, Elvira Brown Bar ker, but to perpetuate the memory of all pioneer mothers. The spirit of the art is best given in Mr. Bar ker’s own words, engraved on a tablet at the base of the monu ment: “I want to recall my mother in the sunset of her life, after the hardships and battles and sorrows of pioneering were past and she sat in the evening glow resting from her labors. Others have per petuated her struggles; I want to perpetuate the peace which fol lowed her struggle.” UNVEILING TOPS LIST OF EVENTS FOR TODAY (Continued from rage One) era, the great event being the un veiling of the Pioneer Mother stat-, ue, Vice-President Burt Brown! Barker's $30,000 gift to the Uni-; versity. This ceremony, starting j at 4, will follow on the heels of, the tea for mothers given by the | Associated Woman Students at Hendricks hall.

The day's program will be con cluded at the “Fete Venetian.," brilliant water festival on the mill race. Yesterday’s events were carried through on a well-planned sched ule that ran like clockwork. Ap proximately 3000 students, visitors and mothers were served by Mar guerite Tarbell's efficient crew of Kwama waitresses at the campus luncheon on the lawn of the old campus. The eagerly awaited pledging to Friars, senior men's honorary, and Mortar board, senior women's hon orary, resulted in the selection of five junior women and seven junior men. The selections were: Friars, Bob Hall. Jim Travis. Red Bailey, Bob Miller, John Mans, Bill Bow erman, and Dave Wilson. The slowest flivver race, in ' which picturesque crates, none of them less than six years old chugged painfully up 13th street from the men's gym to Condon j hall attracted many yesterday. Each driver strove to advance as slowly ns possible. Wayne Emmott captured the first prize of 10 gal- j Ions of gas by covering the dis tance in 17 minutes. j, Fair weather made dancing in the tennis courts a popular dive - don for the rest of the afternoon. 1 The day came to a close at the ' Junior Prom, ruled by Gracious ?ueen Dorothy II.

The Webfoots introduced them selves to a Washington State left hander named Irvine in the sec ond inning. Hits by Chester and nhatterton combined to bring home Mikulak, who had drawn life on the paths when Sarboe juggled his grounder. But this one-run splurge lid nothing more than annoy the Cougars, who ground their cleats n the plate three times in the j text inning. Irvine opened the epi sode with a single to center. Then sarboe socked a double into left ind Irvine hiked to third. Arbt'lblde Socks One The next man up was McKay, le flied to Watkins, scoring Irvine, rhis brought the dangerous Me -arney to the plate. He looked ormidable, but the best he could lo was lash one at Londahl. John iy bobbled it. but recovered in ime to throw to Stevens, who, in urn, caught Sarboe. Then Arbel ilde pounded another double and Harness Attached On Queen9s Float To Insure Course ; When the Queen’s float, “Venice i Moderne,” drifts down the mill j race tonight it will stop at the | proper place. Determined that the disembark , ing of Queen Dorothy II shall take | place impressively and as per j schedule, Louise Webber, chair ' man of the Queen’s reign com ! mittee, has arranged for a system | of ropes on the float and a post 1 on the platform which together are guaranteed to check the stately craft in its course and swerve it gently at the correct angle in to the platform. To further ensure its triumphal progress, Bobby Robinson will steer it with a big steering oar at the back. It should also be unsinkable, for ' beneath its 27-by-12-foot surface are nine drums capable of bearing a combined weight of two and a half tons, certainly sufficiency to carry one queen and four prin cesses, according to Dean Tuttle, designer, and George Bennett, chief construction engineer. McLarney came in. Still another run was brought down the path from third when Sonendecker sin gled into center. This revolt gave the Cougars a lead never relinquished. Oregon came close to deadlocking it in its half of the third, but fell one run short. Mimnaugh punched a liner over second and came horr^g when Sonendecker dropped Mikulak’s long fly. The fourth, fifth and sixth innings were uneventful, but in the seventh Washington State broke loose again. And Still They Come Singles by Sarboe and McKay and a second two-bagger by the powerful Mr. Arbelbide brought in two more scores. Both runs were produced after two were out, Scales whiffing two in this inning. The Cougars’ terminated their scoring activities in the eighth frame. Pour hits manufactured three runs in this episode. Olmo, hitting for Lundberg; McLarney, Erickson and Jones each collected one-baggers. For five scoreless innings the Webfoots tried to rally in vain. They had a chance in the fourth when Scales came up with two down and Chester on base. Ken hoisted the first ball over the right field fence just foul of the flag. A few feet to the left and it would have been a home run. But his next effort was futile and he flied harmlessly to left. A double by Chatterton aroused hopg in the sixth and a similar contribution by Shaneman stimulated the boys in the eighth, but both blows were interspersed to such an extent with outs that neither did much good. Stevens Scores in Ninth Oregon managed to break through Irvine's hooks in the ninth. Stevens walked and stole second after two were down. Then Miku lak gave the ball a ride into left field and Stevens sprinted home, sliding across the plate in a dust cloud that looked like a sand storm. Johnny Anderson pitched for the Webfoots in the ninth and his work was encouraging. He got the first two men who faced him on high flies and fanned the last. Buck Bailey, the lumbering coach of the Cougars, was better na tured than ever yesterday. Be tween him and Happy Joe Lillard, even the Oregon contingent was kept in good humor. Either Ike Donin or Ossie Edwards will toil for the Webfoots today. Bill Rein hart hadn't made up his mind last night. Today's game at the usual 2:30 o'clock. ► TALKIE TOPICS i -CHRONICLING WHAT’S HERE AND WHAT’S COMING I McDonald—“Sky Bride,” star ring Vivian Bruce. Showing for the last time today.
