WOMAN SLAYER IS
HOT flOW INSANE
Commission Finds Mrs. Collins
in Right Mind and She
Must Face Trial.
PHYSICIANS HAVE NO DOUBT
Wife Who Shot Husband Converses
Rationally With Examiners, but
Still Is Anxious to Take
Her Own Life.
Whatever may have been her condition
of mind when she shot down her husband.
Dr. Roy A. Miles Collins, one week ago
Tuesday morning. Mrs. Kate Collins i
row both legally and medically sane and
must stand trial for murder.
After an examination lasting from
shortly after 11 o'clock A. M. until 12:30
P. M yesterday, the lunacy commission
of three local physicians appointed .Wed
nesday by County Jutie Webster to ex
amine her decided unanimously tnat -Mrs,
Collins is not now Insane. Judge Web
ster himself sat with the commission dur
ing .part of the examination and con
curred with the doctors in their HndingB
that although she Is nervous from the ex
cessive excitement under which she has
been laboring and is naturally disturbed
In consequence there can be no doubt of
her present sanity.
Directly after he waji notified of the re
port of the lunacy commission Deputy
I'istrict Attorney Hennessy said ne
would immediately notify Chief of Police
Cox to have Mrs. Collins produced In
court at the earliest possible moment to
answer to the charge against her of mur
der In the drat degree. Her physical con-
dition permitting. Mr. Hennessy said he
hoped to have Mrs. Collins arraigned In
the Municipal Court this morning. A date
then will quickly be set on whlcn she will
appear for trial.
Examination Is Informal.
The commission before which Mrs. Col
lins underwent her examination yesterday
at the Mountain View Sanitorium where
she has been kept since the day of her
arrest. wa composed of Drs. W. T. Wil
liamson, 'William House and XoWe Wiley
Jones. All three are specialists on in
sanity and nervous troubles. Dr. Wil
liamson is also one of the owners or the
sanitorium, and during the past week
he has given her cond.tion particular at
tention. No attempt was made by the
physicians to act as a formal Inquisitorial
body. On the contrary, the examination
was mainly Informal in character. It con
sisted principally In conversation with
Mrs. Collins, calculated to show her at
titude of mind on current topics, how
she looked at matters generally, and her
conception of details following the
trngedy which resulted In her husband's
death. No attempt was made to put Mrs.
Collins In the position of a witness being
cross-examined on the stand, or to have
her undergo technical tests used In de
termlnlng certain forms of mental disease.
Mrs. Collins was in bed during the en
tire examination, which was held In her
chamber at the sanitorium. She
sponded readily to the questions asked
her, and her answers In most cases were
such as a rational woman would give.
The nhvsldans touched lightly on the cir
cumstances attending the shooting Itself,
but in the one or two instances in which
it was mentioned Mrs. Collins became
more nervous. She talked at length about
her differences with Dr. Collins and the
women of whom she was jealous. As the
commission, however, desired only to
ascertain her state of mind at this time
no attempt was made to secure a state
ment from her or to pass upon her con
dition at the time she killed her husband.
Mrs. Collins in Tears.
Mrs. Collins wept frequently during the
course or the nearing. ins ummppj

them several times that her only desire

thought suicide was the best solution of
her troubles, both for nersen ana an con-
she had no further object In living and
nopea only to oie.
The physicians had- examined Mrs. Col
lins for about half aft hour, when Judge
Webster appeared and was admlttted to
the chamber. The Judge participated In
the remainder of the hearing and asked
several questions of Mrs. Collins.
"Mrs. Collins Is not insane now." said
Judge Webster last night, in reviewing
the findings of the commission. "It would
not be right for me to say whether she
has been insane or what I think about
that phase of her case. I can say that
the findings of the commission were
unanimous and that there could be no
question in anybody's mind that she is
Hot now Insane.
Sanity Is Xot Doubted.
"Mrs. Collins Is despondent and often
hysterical, no doubt, but after we had all
examined her seriously, there was no
doubt in the mind of anybody of her san
ity at this time. She Is naturally much
disturbed and nervous, owing to the ex
citement attending the circumstance of
the or deal she has been under."
Although hearings to determine an ac
cused person's Insanity are generally
given publicity, or at least made public.
Drs. Williamson. House and Jones agreed
to say nothing about what took place at
the examination. Not a word would they
say about It. and press and public were
likewise excluded from the examining
room. Not even a representative of the
district Atttorney's office or Mrs. Ccl
lir.s' atttomey was present. Asked why
this stand was taken by them, the phy
sicians stated that there were a number
of good reasons for not making the de
tails of the examination public
Deputy District Attorney Fitxgerald.
who was conducting the case against
Mrs. Collins, went to Washington. D. C.
on a vacation of two weeks Wednesday
and Deputy District Attorney Frank
Hennessy will handle the matter for the
state.
The findings of the lunacy commission
that Mrs. Collins is not at present insane
will probably have no effect on the stand
of the defense that Mrs. Collins was In
sane at the time Dr. Collins was killed.
The commission's report specifically re
fers to her mental condition only at the
present time and makes no attempt to
declare her state of mind two weeks or
ten days ago. At that time, and for some
time previous to the shooting. Attorney
P. I Willis, Mrs. Collins- lawyer, has
seated that he has ample evidence to
prove that she was out of her right mind.
DESPONDENT, SEEKS DEATH
Mrs. Mayme Lyle Could Not Find
Work and Shoots Herself.
Despondent over her Inability to secur,
employment suited to her (rail figure.
Mrs. Mayme A. Lyle, a widow, living at
the residence of Mrs. S. E. Miller. 187
Mortis street, Albina, shot herself in the
breast at an early hour yesterday morn
ing. The bullet passed through her body
In the region of the heart and lodged In
the back. She was later removed to
Good Samaritan Hospital, and, after an
operation.. In which the bullet was re
moved, she rested so easily that it is be
lieved chances for her ultimate recovery
are good. vMrs. l!e freely admitted her
intention to end her life and said it was
because she was "too small" and nobody
would employ her.
Mrs. Lvle formerly worked at the Swet
land confectionery- Owing to the fact
that she was compelled to remain on her
feet all day, her ankles swelled and she
had to stop. Since that time she has
been unable to secure a position and, de
spondent over this, she attempted suicide.
Mrs. Lyle was given a decree of divorce
from her husband, Robert P. Lyle, July
16 last They were married In Portland in
1902, and had a S-year-old son. He was at
the home of a friend of his mother in
Mount Scott when the near-tragedy oc
curred. Lyle Is employed in the N orthern
Pacific Wagon Works here and expressed
great grief over his former wife's rash
act.
Drs. W. B. Hamilton and W. E. Smith
are attending the unfortunate woman and
announce that she will probably recover.
MAY REGULATE BOARDS
CXSIGHTXY BILLS NCISAXCK,
, MAYOR DECLARES.
Touring City, Mr. Simon Finds Great
Signs Obstruct View and
. Mar Scenery.
Aftw making several trips of inspec
tion, carrying him, to various sections of
the city. Mayor Simon yesterday morn
ing expressed the opinion that some new
system governing billboards should be
worked out and put into operation in the
hear future. He will probably refer this
matter to some Council committee for ad
justment.
The Mayor's statement was made while
he was journeying to North Albina yes
terday morning for the purpose of secur
ing a site for a Are engine-house. Other
opportunities for observation along these
lines have been afforded him within the
Dfiiit four ueeka. since he took ud the
reins of city government, because of his
trips into various sections of the city to
work out municipal problems. Every
where the billboard is to be seen, greatly
marring the view and in many cases
shutting It out entirely.
'I certainly feel." said the Mayor,
that these billboards should be gov
erned some way, bo that they will not be
so obnoxious; at present they are scat
tered everywhere, and are so high that.
In many cases, they shut out the views
of beautiful scenery all over the city.
while I have no desire whatever to in
jure the men engaged In the billboard
business, I would like to see an Improved
condition along the lines suggested."
There Is a special committee of the
City Council, of which Councilman Beld-
ing Is chairman, that has charge of the
proposed billboard legislation. This com
mittee once threatened to get active,
but its enthusiasm died out after it held
one session. That was several months
ago.
City Attorney Kavanaugh completed a
report on the matter of billboards, which
he made public yesterday afternoon. He
holds that it Is within the power of the
city to "reasonably regulate" these
boards, and concludes by saying:
Attempts have been made to remove bill-
board on account of their unsightly ap
pearance, and because they were offensive
to persons of refined tastes. Tnese objections
were urged as dangers to the comfort and
welfare of the public. It la now settled that
a city cannot Invade private rights for
esthetic reasons. The Court of Errors and
Appeals of New Jersey says: "Esthetic con
siderations are matter of luxury and in
dulgence rather than necessity, and It is
necessity alone which Justifies the exercise
of the police power."
The public morals are always a municipal
concern that the city has authority to pro
htbtt the display of Immoral or suggestive
signs or posters on billboards.
It appears from an examination of the
authorities that the legality of a regulating
ordinance Is to be tee ted by Its reasonable
ness and Its necessity as a precaution
against danger. to the public The power
to regulate Is generally conceded but the
regulation must be reasonable and necessary
for the public safety. The lack of harmony
discernible In the decisions. Is simply a dif
ference of opinion as to what constitutes. In
the particular case, a reasonable and neces
sary ordinance.

LIKE II BAD PENNY
"Hoodoo" Lawsuit Bobs Up
Once More at Courthouse.
WAR OVER TITLE TO LOT
The Elwerts, the Reeds, the Pare
liuses, the Palmers and Some
Others Are Involved in Pro-
longed Legal Tangle.
What has come to be known at the
Courthouse as the "hoodooed" lawsuit
has again appeared. Like the proverb
ial cat, It has been resurrected eight
times, and has one more life to live.
This eighth appearance comes In the
form of a' complaint by Mrs. J. B.
Elwert against William Reid and M. W.
Parelius. It Is a suit to quiet title to
lot 5, block 2, East Portland, lying near
the waterfront at the foot of East
Washington street. Mrs. Elwert says
that her daughter, Carrie M. Elwert,
held a deed in trust to the property,
and transferred It to H. P. Palmer In
trust, without obtaining her mother's
consent to the bargain. Palmer paid
her $3600. This was In August. 1906.
He sold to Parelius, who In turn sold
to Reid ' last May. Attorney George S.
Shepherd filed this suit last night, and
another is said to be forthcoming.
History of the Case.
It was more than three years ago
that Attorney TJ. S. G. Marquam filed
suit -for Carrie M. Elwert against P. H.
JIarley, H. E. Noble and Jens Olsen
over this same piece of property. Mar
quam died soon afterward, the late Cir
cuit Judge Frazer, who heard the first
demurrer, died within a few months,
and Judge Cleland was sick soon after
a hearing of the case. Then the late
Judge Sears Issued an order In the case,
and E. B. Seabrook, who appeared in
Marquam's place for the plaintiff, was
taken ill within a short time.
Miss Elwert's suit was to quiet title
to lot 4, block 2, East Portland, which
lies along the waterfront and adjoins
lot 6. She alleged lot 4 to be the
riparian right of lot 6; that there was.
In reality, no lot 4.
Years aro A. H. Johnson sued A. J.
and Levi Knott for possession of lot 4.
Knott winning the suit. This Is the
Knott who at one time ran the Stark-
street ferry. The Knott heirs mort
gaged lot C to Carrie Elwert In trust
for her mother. She foreclosed the
mortgage. The Knott heirs sold lot 4,
along the Willamette River, to Olsen.
Ie entered Into an agreement to sell
lot 4 to Noble, with the understanding
that the latter was to sue to quiet title.
But Miss Elwert succeeded In being
the first Into court Marley was made
a defendant because he had a tax title
to the property. This second suit over
the land was decided September 24,
1906, in favor of the Elwerts. But
Parelius had bought the property from
them In August, 1906.
Olsen in Contempt.
In March, 1907. Olsen appealed to
the Supreme Court, but Noble refused
to appeal. In the meantime Olsen bad
a houseboat moored on lot 4, and, the
water having gone down. It was
aground. Parelius brought contempt
procedlngs against him In April, of the
same year, after a court order had been
Issued for him to remove the scow.
When Olsen came into court Judge
Cleland looked over his glasses in a
very suggestive manner and told Olsen
he had five days in which to remove
the houseboat. He became frightened
and, going to Parelius without consult
ing his own attorney, he asked to lease
the property until the water rose
again to float the houseboat. Then the
Supreme Court, without going Into the
merits of the case, decided that Olsen
had recognized the landlord's title and
that the property belonged to Parelius.
These proceedings were Tollowed oy
a fourth suit, In which Olsen tried to
set aside his lease with Parelius. The
latter brought suit in the Justice Court
to collect $18 due on the lease, which
Olsen. acting on his attorney s advice.
had refused to pay.
The sixth suit was brought by
Parelius against Miss Elwert. Noble
and Olsen. He alleged that she could
not collect Judgment In her suit because
he put up the money to prosecute It,
she being only a nominal plaintiff
after ho purchased the property.
Then came the recent suit or uisen
against Noble to collect $19,200 because
Noble would not appeal the case to tne
Supreme Court, and this was followed
by yesterday's suit by the Elwerts.

Dieting Does Not
Cure Indigestion
Self Denial by Prescribed Rales
of Health Used to Be Con
sidered a Care..
Starvation is a strangre remedy for
any disease. Yet, starvation by rigor
ous diet was once generally resorted
to in case of Indigestion and Dyspep
sia. Even yet, it Is sometimes tried.
Such a remedy Is worse than useless.
Every day of life consumes a portion
of the tissues of the human body. The
food we eat serves to repair the waste,
and you can't build up the system by
withholding the material necessary for
these purposes. When you have Dys
pepsia or Indigestion, or any form of
stomach trouble, take a little Kodol to
help the stomach do Its work.
We say. take Kodol, Because it is
the only preparation that will digest
all the food you eat. Every tablespoon
ful of Kodol digests 2 pounds of
food. It supplies the same digestive
juices that are found in a healthy,
vigorous stomach. There are other
preparations that are partial digesters,
but what your stomach needs is com
plete rest. Kodol Is the only prepara
tion that will give it. A man is so con
stituted that he needs a. variety of
foods: to reduce the variety always
produces bad results. In 99 cases out
of 100, Indigestion is due to lack of
some of the elements which constitute
the natural digestive juices. Kodol
supplies just what is needed. Our
Guarantee: Get a dollar bottle of Ko
