COURT RESIGNS COURT
HUMPHRIES BLOCKED rX" PliAJi
TO TRY CONTEMPT CASE.
Seattle Judge Who Denounced De
fendant From Bench Refuses
Change of Venue.
OLTMPIA, Wash., Sept 30. Acting
Supreme Justice Parker, of the State
Supreme Court, today Jssued an alter
native writ to prohibit Sunerlor Judge
Humphries, of Seattle, from sitting as
Judge In contempt proceedings against
Thorwald Siegfried and ordering him to
show cause here October SO, why he
should not be forever restrained from
acting as Judge in the case.
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept ' 30.
Thorwald Slegrled, who Is a practicing
attorney of Seattle and who Is not a
member of the Socialist party, wrote a
letter to the Seattle Bar Association
requesting an Investigation of -what
Siegfried termed abuse of the writ of
Injunction by Judge Humphries, alleg
ing that the Judge had arrogated to
himself the power of the police. There
upon, Judge Humphries, from the
bench, denounced Siegfried and threat
ened him with punishment and cited
him to appear to answer a charge of
contempt of court
. Siegfried asked for a change of venue
under the statute which makes it ob
ligatory for a Judge to grant a change
on request of either party to a suit
Judge Humphries overruled the motion.
Siegfried then asked a change of Venue
on the ground that Judge Humphries
had already pronounced him guilty.
This motion also was overruled by
Judge Humphries, and Siegfried ap
pealed to the Supreme Court
More than 100 other persons are
under citation to appear in Judge
Humphries' court October 2 to answer
contempt charges.
attendance far outstripped that of first
days for many years, and today will
surpass the Tuesday attendance of an
former year known to the members of
tne present board. In consequence
the board members are all smiles.

trance to the fair, and at noon each
day they gather here and hold their
noonday executive session while they

this haa been done and It is a great

van.
Feme Jumpers Are Blocked.
The board has been annoyed every
year heretofore by fence Jumpers and
bootleggers. Now the grounds are
patrolled and policed by 35 members
of the militia, under the command of
Lieutenant Roy Near. He picked his
men from various portions of the state,
which was wise. To have taken them
from any one section would have given
less efficiency and - more favoritism.
President Booth says the system is
working to perfection and the gate re
ceipts will show a large increase in
proportion to attendance over former
ears.'
There was consternation In barn No.
11 on the grounds this morning. This
building Is filled with horses and cat
tle. Here the Oregon Agricultural
College has two Belgian Allies that aie
wonders. One of them was foaled two
years ago the first day of this month
and weighs 1710 pounds; the other was
foaled May 80, 1912, and weighs 1325
pounds. It ' is not In weight alone
that they are so worthy of notice, but
In every point going to make a splen
did animal.
Gordon Pony Found In Muff.
In a stall opposite these fillies Mayor
Gordon has several Shetland ponies and
It was the loss of the smallest of these
that caused the Mayor to act bug
house for a time. After a search It
was found in a woman's muff Just as
the culprit was sneaking out of the
barn. The little Shetland weighs only
20 pounds. He is not much larger than
a good-sized cat
Speaking of Mayor Gordon remmos
me that Mayoring In Newberg must be
a snap. No report is published of the
salary, perquisites or pickings of that
office, but from the size of the diamond
Mayor Gordon wears In his shlrtfront
no doubt there Is a lot of velvet in the
Job. - Billy Bryan-did not -make money
enough on' his Chautauqua circuit this
year to buy a dlamqnd like Mayor Gor
don wears.
Tomorrow. Wednesday, will b Salem
day at the fair; Thursday will be Port
land day. In all, former years there
has been keen rivalry as to which day
would show the largest attendance.
This year the interest will be greater
than ever and both days, more than
likely, will be record-breakers.
Clackamas Exhibit Lauded.
Every Portlander who can spare the
time and raise the price ought to come,
down--up. If the Willamette flows
down grade and make one of the
Thursday's crowd. You cannot spend a
day to better advantage. The Clack
amas County people also ought to turn
out in large numbers to" see -their
splendid county exhibit I heard a num
ber of people today say that it is the
best on the grounds, it surety is a
tine display.
For an automobile trip you eannoi
find a finer run than from Portland
ere. . The trip can be made comfort
ably In two and a half hours, in two
hours if you "turn her loose." The
roads are in superb condition. There
Is not a particle of dust no mud and
the bracing Autumn air Is like nectar.
By all means, come If you can.
If you prefer the trip by train. It
will only cost you 1.60 for the round
trip.
It Is the best fair in a good many
respects ever held in Oregon; let us
show the members of the State Fair
Board that we appreciate their labors
by helping them out with a record-
breaking crowd.

The mill Is equipped with modern
machinery and turns out a first-class
grade of flour. It Is the Intention of
the new owners to run It to Its ca

possible for mills in outside points to
ship flour to this county and compete.
It is also the intention to establish a
packing plant in connection with the
mill for the curing of bacon and hams,
manufacturing of lard and other hog
products. This will encourage the rais

granted a temporary injunction, stop
ping construction of a unique building

charges that Darling's building shuts
off the light entirely from two of her
suites.
Darling has been a Northern Pacific

HANSEL TO DIE IV. 14
JUDGE TAYLOR. 'S SLATER COL
LAPSES ET COURT.
Convicted Man Prays to Be Shot and
Only Hope of Iilfe.Xorw Re
' mains 'With, Governor.
ASTORIA, Or, Sept. 80- (Special.)
Oswald C. Hansel, the convioted as
sassin of the - late Judge Frank J.
Taylor, was sentenced today by Judge
Campbell of the, Circuit Court to be
hanged at the Penitentiary . on Friday,
November 14. The defendant's at
torneys gave notice that they will make
no appeal to the Supreme Court and
Hansel's only hope of : escaping the
penalty prescribed Is ' through the
clemency of the Governor.
The sentence came at the end 'of a
dramatic scene in which the prisoner
showed the arrant coward he Is. On
his way from the Jail, Hansel walked
briskly . enough, but as he neared the
Courthouse he began to tremble like a
leaf, and the officers were compelled
to support . him as he went up the
stairs. On entering the courtroom he
dropped into a chair and sat there witn
his eyes cast to the floor and his hands
and fingers moving nervously.
With a view of avoiding a scene, one
of Hansel's attorneys, requested the
prisoner not to make a statement to
the couTt, telling him it would do
no good. Hansel's only reply was: "I
am glad the is dead. I'm glad he's
dead," repeating this several times and
lapsing into silence. On being asked
by the court if he had anything to
say before sentence was pronounced.
Hansel stiffened up and addressing
the court replied:
"Your Honor, I want to say that my
home has been destroyed, my family
broken up and my property is gone.
Nothing remains but a black spot on
my brain. I am guilty, but I pTay you
hurry up and take my life. Shoot me,
for God's sake, shoot me."
As he finished speaking Hansel
pitched forward the whole upper part
of his body falling prone across the
table, and he sobbed like a child. As
the prisoner was being removed from
the courtroom, he collapsed and the
officers were forced to carry him to the
automobile that was waiting outside.

Southern Lake Count- has a phe

optimlstio farmers before threshing
estimated about two-thirds of what
the grain turned out after being

or the Summer Lake Valley, where it
has been about one-third less. North
ern Lake, where -the new. homestead
settlements have recently sprung up,
has demonstrated beyond a shadow of
a -doubt that - even with ordinary
methods of farming, such as used in
all unlrrlgated countries, the grain and
hay crops are sure, and where Summer

chance of a crop failure. Threshing
now going on shows a' profit equal in

"Thr Board, as is generally known,
has control of all Institutions and de

and consequently it Is essential that
all members attend the meetings. 1
have looked up the record of attend

that 48 meetings have been held, with
Treasurer Kay present at all of them,
Secretary of State Olcott present at 46
