Alienation of Affections of
Slayer's Wife Said to Be
Motive for Shooting.
PRISONER IS WAR VETERAN
Workman Named Dodds la fchot In
Bark of Hrad at CorraJlis by
Ralph Henry, Who Then
Surrenders to Police.
CORVALLIS. Or., Oct.. 31. (Special.)
Ralph Henry, of Newport, late today
shot and killed a man named Dodds,
- who was working here on the new Ben-ton-Llnn
Cr.unty bridge. The cause of
the shooting:' Is said to be that Dodds
alienated the affections of Henry's
wife.
About 10 minutes before the shooting
took place Henry appeared at the
bridge, at the foot of Van Buren street.
' this city, and demanded of boatman
White of the bridge construction com
pany that he be taken to the draw pier
where several men on a raft were at
work. White, to whom Henry did not
tell his reason for wanting to go to
f the pier, except that he wanted to know
If a man named Dodds was working
there, referred him to the county
ferryman. The ferryman acceded to
the demands of Henry and rowed him
. to the raft In a rowboat
As soon as the raft was reached
' Henry Jumped to the raft and the
ferryman turned back to the Benton
County shore. Dodds was working near
the edge of the raft facing away from
the direction from which Henry ap
proached. Henry came within five or
six feet of the victim and, muttering an
- oath, said "I've got you now." Dodds,
apparently not seeing or hearing Henry,
did not turn his head. Henry then
drew a revolver and shot the man In
the back of the head.
Dodds, being at the edge of the raft,
' fell Into the river and went under the
water When he came up Henry fired
' two more shots and his victim sank
and did not come up again. Henry
immediately threw his revolver Into the
river and the workmen called for the
police.
Henry did not attempt to get away
and surrendered without any demon
stration to Chief of Police Wells when
the officer arrived at the scene- of the
killing. Henry was taken to the Ben
ton County Jail.
Henry Is a tall man about 35 years
old and bears a scar on his Jaw. which
resulted from an accidental shot sev
. eral years ago. He served In the Philip
pines during the -Spanish American
war. He is a married man and has
four children.
Henry asserts that Dodds suffered an
accident several months ago at New
port and that his wife nursed him and
late this Summer Henry and his wife
niarreled. which resulted In separation
of the couple.
About a month ago Mrs. Henry came
to Corvallls. bringing with her her 3-
ear-old son. Henry came to Corvallls
from his home in Newport last Tuesday,
his mission as he asserts being to visit
his son.
While here it is declared he discov
ered that his wife had been either liv
ing with Dodds or that Dodds had vis
ited Mrs. Henry at unusual hours.
Speaking of the case on his way to the
Jail. Henry said:
"I have never been untrue to my wife
and 1 do not see any reason why she
should have taken up with anybody, 1
don't know why I did It, but 1 just
could not help it"
Dodds' body was found near the Linn
County side. The case will be tried in
. Linn County. ,
day next.' week and show cause why
they should not be found delinquent.
The resolution was introduced in the
Executive Board meeting yesterday by
City Engineer Hurlburt. who declared
that many of the contractors hvf
failed to comply with the terms o.
their contracts, and property owners
have been greatly Inconvenienced as a
result. He said the limit of time on
several contracts has expired without
the contractors having even begun
work. In some other parts of the city
ments only partially made, threaten-1

POINDEXTER IS PROPHET
Senator Says Roosevelt Will Land
150,000 Votes In State.
SPOKANE. Wash., Oct. 31. (Spe
cial.) That Boosevelt will get 150,000
of an estimated 300,000 votes In Wash
ington was the prediction of Senator
Poindexter on his return from a three
weeks' campaign trip through the
state.
"It looks favorable Indeed for the
Roosevelt Progressives," he said. "If
the total vote Is approximately 300,000,
Roosevelt will get at least 150,000
votes, but it is my judgment that he
will get considerably more. At any
rate the Colonel Is certain of getting
as many votes as all other candidates
combined. Of the votes that will not
go to Roosevelt. ' Wilson will get a
heavy majority.
"I am convinced that the- entire
Roosevelt Progressive state and Con
gressional' ticket will be elected. Hodge
may lose some votes on account o'J
the attacks made against him. but he
will gain others on account of the un
fairness of the attack."
Senator Poindexter said his position
In relation to Hodge was unchanged,
that he was still supporting the entire
ticket.

Entrance of Bourne Into Race to Re
tain Senatorial Seat Only Aids
Selling Chances.
DALLAS, Or.. Oct. 31. (Special.)
As election day approaches politics in
this county are growing warmer. The
results in Polk are hard to predict, for
no one is talking.
However, Indications point to Taft
carrying the county by safe majorities.
The Taft First Voters' Club of Polk
County, with headquarters here. Is con
ducting the most active campaign of
any organization here. From a char
ter membership of 15 it has grown In
three weeks to a membership of over BO.
Last Sunday the club, represented by
President Morton, Secretary Williams
and Treasurer Finseth. visited Black
Rock and organized an enthusiastic
club there, with a' charter membership
of 22. Next Sunday a big rally is to
be held in Black Rock. Last night the
club, represented by the same officers,
visited Rickreall 'and organized there a
First Voters' Club, with a charter mem
bership of 25.
The meeting there was a most en
thusiastic one and was addressed by
William Kadle. one of the leading Re
publicans of this county, and by Glenn
Holman. of Dallas. Allen Kadle was
elected president and John Hodges was
elected secretary of the Rickreall Club.
It Is now planned to have a big rally
on Saturday night, with an address by
Representative Hawley.
The entrance of Jonathan Bourne Into
the race to retain his seat in the Sen
ate has but strengthened Ben Selling in
this county. Men who were Bourne sup
porters In the primary are now actively
opposing him and supporting Selling,
claiming that to support Bourne now
would be to vote against the spirit of
the direct primary law. Bourne's entry
Into the race has Injured Lane's
chances- here. Selling defeated Bourne
about three to one In the primaries, and
it is believed that he will run about as
strong here next Tuesday. Bull
Moosers all over the county are sup
porting Selling.
For Joint Representative, Walter L.
Tooze. Jr., may be elected by a safe
majority, as, with a large Republican
majority in Lincoln County and with
the heavy Republican registration in
Polk County. Indications point that
way For Representative. Elmer Pad
dock looks like the winner. He is" op
posed by Verd Hill. Democrat, - and
Chester V. Gates, Prohibitionist. Both
of these candidates are waging an ac
tive campaign and the race is close.
With the exception of the offices of
County Clerk, Sheriff and Treasurer, It
Is safe to predict a Republican victory.
The office of Treasurer is uncontested,
and a warm fight is being waged over
the offices of Sheriff and county L-ier.

City May Own Phone System.
SEATTLE. Oct. SI. Tiie City Coun
cil yesterday engaged an Eastern ex
pert to make an estimate or tne cost
of establishing a municipal telephone
system. It Is the Council's Intention
to submit to tne voters on maven i.
next, a proposition to vote bonds for
such a system. The state pudiic
service code authorizes municipalities
to operate water, light, power ana
street railway plants, but Is silent as
to a telephone system. If the omission
stands in the way of the municipal
telephone system, the State Legislature
at Its session next January will be
asked to amend the public service code.

HOW TOJtESIST
Chronic Coughs and Colds
Strong vigorous men and women
hardly ever catch cold: it's only when
the system Is run down and vitality
low that colds and coughs get a foot
hold. Now isn't it. reasonable that the
right way to cure a cough is to build
up your run down condition again?
Mrs. Olivia Parham. of East Durham.
N. C.. savs: "I took Vinol for a chronic
cough which had lasted two years and
the cough not only disappeared, but it
built up my strength as well."
The reason Vlnol Is so efficacious In
such cases is because it contains in a
delicious concentrated form all the
medicinal curative elements of cod liver
oil, with tonic, blood building Iron
added.
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
Vinol because it builds up the weak
ened, run-down system.
You can get your money back any
time if Vinol does not do all we say.
