dorvallis Times CORVALLIS, OREGON, TUESDAY EVENING, APR. 9, 1907 Mr. Jerome. ' The Thaw case is expected to go to the jury Thursday. Justice would have been quite as well serv ed if it had been concluded six weeks ago. Its effect has been to coa vince the average layman that the .great District Attorney Jerome of New York, is an over-advertised man. After trying for six weeks to convict Thaw of murder, Mr, Jerome suddenly changed tactics and tried to convince the court that the defendant is insane, too in sane to be tried for murder and ' that he ought to be sent to the mad house for life His assertion, back ed up by alienists whose opinions vary with whatever view the coin of the realm comes from, was that Thaw has an incurable mental dis ease. That was a queer legal move after six weeks of vehement effotc to thrust the prisoner into an elect ric chair. But a lunacy commission unan imously pronounced Thaw sane. That is what everybody but Jerome knew it would do. Thaw is, in fact, one of the sanest men in the court room. His shooting of White is the strongest kind of evidence in that direction. Many think him saner than the great district attor ney. The effect of the official deciara. tion that Thaw is sane is, that Jerome must now try to send a man to the death chair whom he has de dared on oath to be insane. It is a silly position for a lawyer to be in, especially so great an alleged law er as Mr. Jerome. Few lawyers in a country town in Oregon would have so compromised his case. It is at par with his excuseless and bru tal dragging, after she had admitted her shame, of the unfortunate story of her life, from Evelyn Thaw. If frr rtr nthar nnenn Thorn niierhf' tn be speedily acquitted as a rebuke to a district attorney who has more brainstorms than ever the defend ant had. A HUNDRED COMING. Delegates to College Y. M.

In Debate at McMinnvitte Question Wm Ship Snbudy. Friday nieht McMinnville Col lege defeated OAC in what was pronounced one of the strongest de bates ever heard in that city, ihe question discussed was, Resolved that the United States should Sub sidize her Merchant Marine. OAC was represented by C. C. Clark, leader, C. M. Stebinger and P. H. Cale, who defended the affirmative side of the question. , Mr. Stebinger opened the battle with a well planned argument. He suggested the line the affirmative would advocate, stated, that they would prove that there was a need for a better merchant marine, that in the past our shipping industry had prospered and declined in the same proportion as we subsidized. He further stated that the affirma tive would show that it would help our shipping, and that it wai not only the policy of other successful nations, but is the policy of the United States. Stebinger's speech was well presented. P. H, Cale in following the .first speech of the negative, followed out the affirmative's line of argument that had been suggested by Steb inger. He did some neat rebutting after which he outlined the con structive argument of the affirma tive. ' C. C. Clark, leader of the, affirm ative, was perhaps "the star ot the evening. Both in rebuttal and in constructive argument, he was the strongest speaker. He refuted the strong arguments the negative and made telling hits with the audience. The finish was a pretty battle between .Tilbury and Clark, yet in stage presence and ability to speak on his feet, Clark had no equal in the contest. The McMinnville team was well prepared on constructive argument yet in no case were they superior to the local team. The debate was even throughout and a decision unanimously given the other way would have been as popularly re ceived. McMinnville argued that it was wrong in principle, impract icable, that it was class legislation, that other nations had failed in its operations, that it would promote graft and that it would cost too much. Judge Butler of Dallas, Judge Fraizier of Portland, and Hon. R. B. Travers, a prominent educator in the state, were the judges. Clark, Selleck and Weatherford will represent OAC in the debate with W. S. C. R. E. Wilson, state land com missioner of Idaho, left yesterday for his home after a few days' vis it with his uncle, R. H. Colbert. F. J, Robinson left yesterday to accept a position with a party of engineers on the Western Pacific railroad in California. : :- Mr. and Mrs. J.,.. J. Johnson have arrived from Payette, Iowa, and are guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Francisco. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Francisco are brothers in-law. .. Alter a two months - visit in this city, Mrs. J. F, Miller, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Colbert left for her home at Oroville, Cal ifornia. , . The v Applegate Sisters, Eva and Evea, who attended OAC sev eral years from Yoncalla, are now teaching in the Wallowa valley. They write of the bright future of the land which they have selected as their new home. Four of the Jubilee singers who gave a performance at the Opera House Saturday night and a sacred concirt at the Methodist church Sunday night, are graduates of Southern colleges, and are persons of very excellent character and at tainment". E. R. Bryson was hastily sum moned to Portland to be at the bed side of his mother who was report ed as dangerously ill. A threaten ed attack of pneumonia was .' the trouble, but care and medical at tention have " effected a change and Mrs. Bryson is convalescent. Mr. Bryson returned home Sunday. His mother will probably be detained in the hospital for a week. -r The many friends of Miss Adelaide Greffoz will be pleased to learn that she has recovered her health. Her trouble with rheu matism and her long sojourn in California, together with her final departure for Paris on account of the ailment have been related from time to time in this newspaper. A letter recently from her in Paris announces her entire recovery, a fact believed to be due to a change of climate, the ocean voyage and other conditions, Miss Greffoz and father are . to spend the coming summer in Switzerland. DEDICATED THE FOUNTAIN. Citizens Made Speeches School Chil dren Participated. 1 The dedication of the Kline fountain'on the school block trans pired Monday, afternoon, and was accompanied by an informal public demonstration. The several hun' dred school children were assem bled on the grounds together with several tJozen citizens: Mr. Kline formally presented the fountain in a few appropriate remarks, and speeches were made by Mayor Johnson, George E, Lilly, chair man of the school board, Judge McFacden of the Water Commis- ! TV " 1 . I 1 f .1 sion, mncipal noimes ot tne public-schools, and Dr. Bell, ,who praised the gift in behalf of the clergymen of the city. Mayor Johnson impressed upon the chil dren the importance of -protecting the fountain from mutilation, Mr. Lilly thanked the donor in .behalf of the school district and Mr. Holmes said the pupils . of the schooliWould all guard the foun tain as their own. Judge Mc- Fadden sketched the history of school matters in town, paid a tribute to the generosity of the don or of the fountain, and commended F. L. Miller for his part as school director in adding the second block and a second building to the school facilities. The gathering and the proceedings formed a very pretty "episode, of which there ought to be several more before the giving of fountains to the town ceases. 'HELLO BILL.'! Next Saturday Night.

Were Rotbed That Night Five in ail Parties are Suspected. - Two other cases of robbed flower beds have come to light. Those hitherto reported were Mrs, Martha Burnett's, Mrs, J. B. Irvine's and E. W. S. Pratt's. ; To these are to be added Dr. Farra's and E. B Homing's. AH were ivisited on the same evening towlt, Monday night of last week. That so many places were visited has aroused a wonder as to what the" flowers were wanted for. f: In each case all the best flowers were taken, beds were walked over and the rights of the owner ignored . altogether. There is said to be some suspician as to the identity ot the parties, but who it is that is ,". suspected could not be assertalned. A spirit of mischief rather than downright meanness is supposed to have been the motive, but owners ' ordinari ly cannot see where the fun comes n. ' The owner of one place that was robbed declares that his shot gun is ready and will be used If another case happens and the parties can be detected in the act. When all, " other cities are moving for beautified conditions, all Ccrvallls ought to be united in ; striving for door yards, roses, flowers, and homes to be as well kept as the best.
