Sheriff Word and Mrs. Word were there in person to help minister to the wants of their guests. They were as sisted by Mrs. Elizabeth Rogers, matron of the jail. Miss Imogene Rogers and Miss Gertrude Beaton. Probably there were no more thank ful souls in all Portland yesterday than these children. Without the dinner Thanksgiving would have meant noth ing whatever to most of them, but through the feast the day became posi tively rosy. They gave every evidence of delight and voiced their appreciation frequently. All the turkey the children could eat. cranberry sauce and all the other trim mings were served. Milk in liberal quantities was the drink provided. Oranges and candy also etvere provided and after the guests had eaten all they could they took the remaining dainties away with them. Long tables had been set for the throng and the children wanted for nothing. Big Ed Kennedy, sometime baseball player and now head jailer, was everywhere at once. He waited on the kiddies as if they were his family. He could not have been more attentive to the wants of the diners, playing with them and doing innumerable things for their amusement. A pleasant feature of the dinner was the attendance of Charles Levering, Roy Baynard. W. McDonald, J. Concan non, L. Kiel and H. Concannon, singers from the Moose Lodge, who kept a piano going and Bang steadily through out the banquet. The children did not forget their manners.

Trinity Episcopal Church housed a large congregation, which assembled yesterday morning, to attend the Thanksgiving service conducted by the rector, the Rev. A. A. Morrison.

The theme of the sermon was found in the text, "You have heard that it hath been said "Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy," but I say unto you, 'Love your enemies, bless them that curse you; do good to them that hate you and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you, that ye may be the children of your father which is in heaven.' " A generous offering was taken for the Good Samaritan Hospital. The mu sic, which was directed by Dr. Morri son, was especially fine, the pro gramme containing many beautiful numbers. Solos were contributed by Miss Muriel Williams. Mrs. Delphine Marx, Frederick Crowther and Dr. Mor rison. "Vag" Wanted at Calgary.

BE PLEA SLAYER OF GIRL HAS DRAIN OF CHILD, SAYS LAWYER. Attorney for Fred Tronson ate Vrsre Client Did Not Know Difference Between Rlerht and Wrong. That Fred Tronson, confessed slayer of Emma Ulrich, has the brain of a child and is Irresponsible mentally will be the plea made oy nis attorneys when he is placed on trial. It will be urged that he did not know the difference be tween right and wrong and that he is not only mentally Incompetent, but that he is a victim of arrested develop ment. Attorney Dan Powers, representing Tronson, will enter a motion for the examination of his client by expert alienists when the case of the State against Tronson is called before Judge McGinn. This probably will come within two weeks. The grand Jury will investigate the alleged crime within a week. District Attorney Evans having delayed the case until he was certain of the statute of the anti-capital pun ishment law. Now that it has passed. a charge of second-degree murder probably will be placed against Tron son because of the tact that the re cent amendment leaves life imprison merit as the heaviest punishment for murder. "There Is no question tn my mind that Tronson is to all Intents and pur poses a child mentally, said Attorney Powers. He does not think or rea son like a normal human being:. He talked like a child after his arrest and does not look at the matter as one of mature mind. We will move to have him examined by competent specialists as soon as possible. I regard it as an extraordinary case of arrested de velopment." OtherB have given the same opinion In Tronson'a case. One man, known for his interest in philanthropic and charitable work, has made the sugges tlon that Tronson's act was that of one either mentally Inept or a love-crazed, Immature youth. Tronson. 24 years old, was arrested near Kalama, after his flight into Washington, after shooting and killing Miss Emma Ulrich, a pretty stenog- rapher, at her home, 1074 Corbott street, on the night of November 16 He said he was infatuated with her and after refusal to marry him he shot her to prevent her from marrying anyone Needs Here's an inexpensive novelty that you'll want a handsome Initial Fob which we are featuring at $1.00 V J u s t one of hundreds of in expensive art and jewelry novelties that yon will want to see.
