STATE PRESENTS EVIDENCE Irosecotion Alms to Prove Crtm-a Premeditated and Not Sudden Ac of yimniao IWenso to ' Give Testimony Today. Strung eactiors on tfea part of Will lam Jans Butlsr. which prevonted his appearing- ta court yesterday, whera ha iru belc tried for the mnrder In the first decre of hla wife. Edith Masslnr. were dJaa-aosed by Pra. S. E. Josephl avad William House at toon yesterday as not betas; symptoms of Insanity, but :mply pretended symptoms of that mil. a dr. Hasa-na- became mora reasonable after this and was taken to the court room at S o'clock, when the taking; of ert.ince la his case began. The evidence yesterday presented by the state had a tendency to proire that Xaaalna" had premeditated the crime. The state will esi Its case this mora ine at an early hour, and It la believed tnat the caae will be In tha hands of the Jury tomorrow. Hereditary Insanity Allefd. Jli, log's defense will be hereditary Insanity. His attorneys say they hare found that eight of hla relatlrea. in cluding; his father and grandfather. In Ixmnark. whence Haaslng- emigrated, were Insane. .The attorneys for the de fense also say that they will not try to refute the testimony presented by the state rr carding the manner In which the deed waa done, but will rely entirely upon the effort they will make to prove that the crime a as the act of aus Insane man. The first witness placed on the stand waa lira. Marie Hedman. wife of th dead woman's brother. Her testimony told of the circumstances that led up to the divorce suit brought by Mrs. His- tng and which brought about her mur der. The Haimings bad lived at the home of the Hedmane for some tlma previous to the divorce. Km 11 Hedman, the brother of the murdered woman, also teattded along the same line. An Important witness waa Ir. E. B. -SfclJ-anlal. who waa called at the time f the shooting to examine the dead woman and her husband, when he waa taken Into custody, lis testified that Xasslng had expressed gratification for I.ls having committed the crime, and that he explained that ha bad planned the deed before. Ie?d Ptmnnexl, Says State. It was the effort of Deputy Attorneys Tltxgerald and Page, who are conduct ing the case for the state, to show that It was not due to a audden fit of insan ity which took possession of Hasalng at the tlma of the shooting that prompted the deed, but that It waa a premeditated m- t-1 m m John A. Pettis and Jamea Hail testi fied to having seen the shooting, and to having seen a man sloop over ins woman after she fell. Both are young men. and when they aaw the crime . committed they hurried away from the scene. Manning's actions prevented Ms being fcrouirht Into court yesterday morning. lie refused to dresa himself, raved some, and when an effort waa made to force Mm to stand on his feet, he re fused to bear bis weight on Ms legs. A i i.st it waa determined by the LiS' trict Attorney to have two responsible physlclana examine the prisoner, and Ira, Joeenhl and House were called to the tall for this pur-kins. It was with some difficulty that the doctors managed to get Uasslng to say anything. He would sit mute when poken to. and occasionally roll his eyes In a strange way.

Rose City Park Delegation Apprar Before Fire Committee of Exec utive Board Kenton Pre sents Problem Also. How to provide fire protection to Rose City Park, the Kenton district and other Portland suburbs la puzzllns; the fire committee of the Executive Board, the members of which held a meeting yesterday afternoon and were con fronted by a delegation from Rose City Park clamoring for relief. Chairman Cystica declared that the committee would try to do somethlnsr, but cited the fact that the Council had irranted only I3u00 for this work, whereas five times that amount Is needed to build a house. Install apparatus and pay the Bremen's salariea "People are wild over the hlirh taxes rlfrht now. and are blamlnsr Mayor Si mon for It." said Mr. O'Shea. "What would they say If we had the funds necessary to Install ample apparatus in this city wherever it Is required for protection? It -would take a million dollars a year to provide it- We are anxious to afford relief, but what can we do with such small appropriation? We can only rive a little help, but will do our best." It was decided that Chlf Campbell ard members of the comnStee shall fro to Rose City Park to investigate a site at East Fifty-seventh street i.nd Sandy road, and an effort will he made to place a small chemical angina there. Nothing- substantial can be done with 11000. and Chief Campbell declared that hydrants and water mains were needed more than anything else In all of these suburbs. "If von have a chemical enjrlne. It Is only rood for Inside nree." explained the Chief. "If a fire nets outside, chemical apparatus is useless. What is needed more than anything- else Is a system of water mains and hydrants and then the necessary fire apparatus." The Konton district, where there are larce manufacturing- establishments, is also giving the members of the com mittee much concern, ror mis piace the Council granted the Insignificant sum of IliOO. although public-spirited men have donated a lot on which to build a house.

Wilcox, who will make a trip to Wash ington. IX C. extend the invitation of the club to the new Secretary. Mr. Wilcox has consented to convey the wishes of the people of Oregon that Mr. Fisher visit Oregon.

No overcoat in Portland to keep your body as warm. No overcoat to equal them for wear and strain. The facts are : The U. S. Government had on hand 25,000 brand-new overcoats that cost Uncle Sam $13.00 each to make. When the style changed from blue to olive drab, what to do with so many of these blue overcoats was a serious question. Anyway, the Gov ernment dyed them black, and here they are for sale. The Government's loss is your gain. The material is all wool and waterproof, with blue flannel lin ings throughout, sewed with linen thread. It's an overcoat that every man should have for rough usage and in all kinds of weather.
