ENTRY STARTS CEREMONIES Speakers Extol City and State Upon Display. MUSIC ENLIVENS AFFAIR Throng Is Invited to Inspect Kxhi- . bttion Critical Are Pleased. Wonderful Resources of Ore gon Are Well Set Out. The varied products ' of a land of plenty, crops from the farms and indus trial exhibits from the factories of "a busy city, filled the spacious old Armory building and a huge wooden annex built around it on two sides in Kleventh and Davis streets, where Portland's second annual Manufactur ers and Land Products Show opened last night. "The largest show of its kind ever held west of Chicago," it had been an nounced in advance by the manufactur ers' and industries bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, which brought it about. They had figures to prove it, too. But the figures really were not needed. Critical Are Satisfied. The opening night throngs that passed through the long aisles of ex hibits with critical eyes went away perfectly willing to waive statistics of any kind. For the show spoke for Itself more vividly than any figures could. To many it was really a surprising exposition of the resources of this state snd city. One of these days staid Port land may awake to the fact that quite a hum of industry is to be heard within its borders. Or, as C. C. Colt, presi dent of the Chamber of Commerce, ex pressed it more concretely in his re marks at the formal opening "cere monies: "Some of you have no doubt, heard that Portland is not a great manufac turing city. It may surprise you to know that there are something over 9n0 manufacturing enterprises here, of one size or another." It did surprise 'em, too, as the ap plause disclosed. Show Opens on Time. The big show opened on time almost to the dot. The formal opening was preceded by an automobile parade through 'the streets, members of the Chamber riding in the cars. The parade started from the Commercial Club building, wound through the main streets downtown and drew up in front of the Armory shortly after 8 o'clock. And from then on it was all the four pay-as-you-enter turnstiles, manned by infantrymen and artillerymen from the Oregon National Guard, natty in blue dreps uniforms with red or white trim mings, according to the wearer's branch of the service, could do to register the incoming crowds. They fairly flocked into the big mil ' itary headquarters, which for the next three weeks is turned into an exhibit palace. It was an appreciative crowd, too. One big reason was that there was no much for them to see. for this year's show is declared on all hands to be bigger and better by far than that of last year. Staae Built In Street. The formal opening exercises took place in the auditorium, on the Davis street side, where a neat little stage has been built just about where the middle of the street used to be. . Here President C. C. Colt and Manager tieorge E. Hardy, of the Chamber of Commerce: Mayor A;bee. A. J. Kingsley. chairman of the manufacturers' and in dustries bureau of the Chamber; David M. Dunne, chairman of the committee which supervised the building - work; A. P. Tlateham. superintendent of the cNhibifs; Circuit Judge Morrow and others were -seated on the platform. McElroy's band struck up "Yankee Doodle," and the catchy air filled the auditorium in a jiffy. Ilbj.ct Ik Stated. "The object of this show," said Mr. K injislev, who acted as chairman of Ihc evening:, "is to bring the producer nearer to the consumer. I know of no bettor way to do it than by an exhibit or this kind. "In ont part of the exposition hall you will find Home of the products that are. manufactured in Portland, and In anotlier part what is grown on the land in Oregon. "This show is put on by the Port land Chamber of Commerce, which is trying to lay a foundation, and is lay ing -a foundation, for the largest and most helpful commercial organization in the United States." C. C. Colt, president of the Cham ber, followed him. "It is not possible to talk very long in generalities only." said Mr. Colt. "We must have a more or less definite idea of what we talk about. Therefore. with this idea in mind, we take pleas ure in having been able to bring here a greater variety of products even than at last year- fine show. I am par ticularly glad to say that there are '3 counties represented by exhibits." Mr. Hardy Speaka.

Pa., Oct. 25. (Spe cial.) Announcement of the results o another radical experiment is expected to be made this week by Dr. Helen Kin?, whose experiments on a colony of 60,090 white rats at the Wistar In stitute' of Anatomy at the University of Pennsylvania, have convinced her that marriage of first cousins and even brothers and sisters would be benefi cial to the race if the individual pro genitors were "selected." Results pro duced by the white rats are expected also to show whether sex may be de termined before birth, and whether male or female can be produced at will. This admission was made today by the university authorities, but what decision had been reached by Dr. Kins could not be learned before publica tion of the facts in a medical magazine. Attention was also called to the fact that such a plan, if feasible with hu manity, would be utilized to build up the populations depleted by the Euro pean war rather than permit polygamy.

(Copyright, 1915. by the Chicago Tribune. Published by Arraosement) . s CZENSTOCHOWA. Russia, Sept. 24. Every morning at o'clock our Prus sian Captain or fuehrer (meaning guide) swings himself down from the frowsy compartment of a second-class German passenger coach, runs his commanding eyes along the half dozen other frowsy compartments of the car riage and cries resonantly: "Guten morgen, meine herren. Habcn sie gut geschlafenT' At this inquiry a "dozen correspond ents from half as many countries, who have by no means gut geschlafen, poke their disheveled heads from the com partments and declare with more or less confidence that they , have indeed slept well and are many times thank ful for the Captain's kind inquiry. Morning Greeting Ceremonious. "And you, lieber Herr Hauptmann, have you also slept well?" "O, thank you many times, my gentlemen, I have truly slept enor mously well! Colossally well! I thank you many times!" He .then formally shakes hands with one and all. This exchange of greetings Is every morning -identical and Is performed with great .ceremony wheresoever 6 o'clock happens to find us.. Sometimes it Is in the swjftch wards of a Russian town with seven consonants to three vowels Wiloszezowa is a fair speci men. Sometimes it Is in the midst of fields spiderwebbed with lines of aban doned trenches and with naught but the ruins of a human habitation in sight. And sometimes It is in the deep. dark depths of a fir forest where tfiere was fighting once, as you may know from the smell of dead horses borne to you on 'the chill morning breeze. Captain Alvraya Preventable. Our Captain's morning appearance, like his salutation, never varies. Everybody else looks 'ill conditioned and blear-eyed and oily and is as disa greeable to himself as he is to his companions. To fare for five days and nights over a besmirched country with out removing one's clothes does not conduce to sprucenees. nor does morning wash In one-third of a bottle of mineral water do much to restore it.

SENTENCE 6 YEARS, 8 MONTHS Amnesty and Time Already Spent in Jail Lower Penalty. PRISONER PLEADS FOR SELF Italian Jury Finds American Was Only Partially Responsible and Decides There Were K.xten . nating Circumstances. CO.MO, Italy, via Paris, Oct. 25. Porter Charlton, the American who has been on trial here charged with murdering his wife in 1910, was today condemned to six years and eight months' imprisonment. The Jury found Charlton only par tially responsible and that there were extenuating circumstances. Owing to amnesty Charlton will serve only 29 days in prison. Prisoner Pleads far Self. Baron Schlaeca, the presiding judge, before the case went to the Jury, asked Charlton whether he had any thing to add to the defense. With tears in his eyes. Charlton exclaimed "T trust entirely to Italian justice. I can only say that I am a -most un fortunate man." Both the prosecutor and the counsel for the defense made stirring pleas, the former for the imposition of a heavy sentence, and the latter, com posed of Slgnors Galaneo and Mlchaelli Picardi, for acquittal on the ground that the prisoner was totally irrespon sible when the crime was committed. Signor Picardi .declared that no man in Charlton's condition could be re sponsible for his action under any law. ' ,-' irreaponjiIbUlty "H Alleged. V .' Speaking in defense of Charlton. At torney Galaneo maintained that the prisoner was ah apiteptic and that he w,as totally irresponsible when .. the crime was committed. But even if the jury did not wish to admit that, he .urged, it should at least give its assent to the claim that the defendant was not more than partly responsible and Lthat there was in addition great provo cation. The crown prosecutor. Signor Mellini, denied that Charlton was mentally ir responsible, even momentarily, at the time the deed was committed. The prosecutor denied, that Charlton had had provocation .for killing his wife, and insinuated he married he for savings and that he had appro priated her jewels after killing her. H concluded his address with a demand for a heavy sentence. Wife Killed In 1010. Porter Charlton killed his wife In thetr villa on Lake Como on June 9, 1910.

SOON Mondays War Moves HEAVY fighting characterizes the operations in the Balkans on the Russian front from the Gulf of Riga down through Galicia, on the Austro- Itallan line and in the Champagne re gion of France. i In the Balkans the Teoutonic allies and Bulgarians are still gaining ground against the Serbs almost every where, but in the south the French have stepped into the arena and have decisively defeated the Bulgarians at Krivolak. on the Saloulki-Nish rail way, southeast of Veles, giving them control of the line some 40 miles to the north of the Greek frontier. In Champagne the French are busily engaged in warding off German counter-attacks, delivered with desperate determination against a section of an Important salient, known as "La Courtlne which the French had pre viously taken. Some of their trenches in the center have been recaptured by the Germans, but latest reports are that the opposing forces were still fighting fiercely. The Russians in the Riga and Dvinsk regions of Nortltwest Russia have again assumed the offensive against the Ger mans, but Berlin asserts that all coun ter-attacks there have been repulsed, except in the region of Illoukst. where. in the face of superior forces, the Ger mans were forced to withdraw to the western bank of the Illoukst River. A gain of some ground west . of Komarow for the Germans Is recorded by Berlin as an offset to the Illoukst retreat. In addition to the heavy fighting in the eastern sector of the Austro- Itallan battle line, which Rome an ticipates shortly will result in the cap ture of Gorlzia by the Italians, there have been three hostile air raids over Venice. In none of these was great material damage done, although one church suffered severely and only three persons were injured. Germany admits the sinking of the German armored cruiser Prinz Adalbert by an allied submarine off Llbau and announces that only a few of ber crew. which in peace times totaled 557 men, were saved.

Boy-Ed, naval attache of the German Embassy. about the plans, but they had refused to have anything to do with It. The confession of Fay, who said h had been decorated with the Iron cross for fighting in the Champagne district In France, covers his arrival In the United States on April 23 last, his mak ing of clock-worked bombs since then, and his activities in experimenting with explosives along the Hudson River. Add and Other Chemlcula Found. Quantities of acid in the room oc cupied by Fay and Walter L. Scholz in Weehawken, N.
