Miss Edith Colby, of Spo kane, accused of the murder of A. C. Thomas, today watched the funeral pro cession of her victim through dingy windows of the jail and became vio lently hysterical. After a physician and her nurse had worked over her for an hour she regained her composure and her nervous condition was better than at any time since she was incarcerated. A Coroner's Jury viewed Thomas' body today before the funeral services. The Jury will hear testimony, beginning Thursday morning'. The preliminary hearings of Miss Colby and John L. Manire. editor of the Weekly Independ ent Enterprise, on which paper Miss Colby was employed, will probably be held Friday following the inquest. Reports current here are that Miss Colby told both Sheriff J. C. Hartman and A. S. Ainsworth. part owner of the paper, immediately following the shoot ing, that she had not intended to shoot Thomas. The same rumor has it that Miss Colby did not even know she shot Thomas until long after she was taken to jail. She believed she was arrested for firing a revolver within the city limits. Because Thomas did not fall after the three bullets took effect. Miss Colby is alleged to have said that "she scared him good and made him run." On the other hand, the state charges that she told at least two persons the night before the alleged act that she in tended to shoot Thomas. It is general ly believed here that her defense will he emotional insanity. ' In Thompson Falls, center for the wet and dry fight in Sanders County, sentiment seems to be against the ac cused woman, but in the country dis tricts the order is decidedly reversed.

Mr. Robinson spoke first, in favor of the amendment. He argued that if beer were imported from California un der the Prohibition law, as at present, it was only fair to permit its manufac ture in Oregon and benefit home indus try. He declared that the sale of beer made for true temperance, and that its prohibition resulted in the use of stronger liquors, and asserted that the law would do no more than permit the manufacture of the beverage in the state. Ex-Governor West, who followed, said he agreed with the sentiment that if the importation of beer were per mitted at all. its manufacture should likewise be permitted here. "Brit I am against the whole booze business, and every angle' of it." Bald he. "I am an L W, W. on the liquor question. The remedy is not to permit its manufacture in Oregon, but to pro hibit entirely its importation, in any form or quantity." He charged that the Brewers' Amendment would benefit only Paul Wessinger. of the Weinhard nlant nH declared that under the wording of the amendment, the sale of beer would be permmeo anywhere in the state, even in communities that had adoDted local option prior to the Prohibition law, and j.urio wuui-u uu no rearess.

Money to Be Asked Por. ! That the. next Legislature will be asked to provide money for enlarging the scope of the fair, so as to accom modate the additional attendance which is expected, now appears probable. Members of the Fair board and Secre tary Lea are agreed that one of the most needed additions 1s a coliseum, where large gatherings can be accom modated when the Horse Show, Stock Show and other attractions are given.

The erection of a coliseum is advocated by livestock and other exhibitors. More barns also are needed to care for the stock exhibits. There are now 13 stock barns. These all were filled this year, and additional tents were erected to house stock which could not Art and Women's Bulldins Wanted. A building to house the art, depart ment and women's exhibits also is de sired, as well as the repair of some of the present structures which were built years ago. The Salem Woman's Club has decided to present the question of the erection of a fireproof building for the art department to the State Federa tion of Women's Clubs, which will meet at Seaside October 9 to 12. It is the desire to have the State Federation advocate legislative pro vision for a new structure. Under present conditions many artists will not exhibit at the State Fair because of the tire hazard. The fair board will meet in the near future to discuss the needs of the fair and decide what finanical aid from the Legislature will be necessary if the de sired improvements are made. The .1915 legislative appropriation for the State Fair was $38,931 for two years. This appropriation was designed to provide lo,000 each year for prizes.

STATE FAIR BIG SUCCESS CVnt!ntied From Klrt Pejre") GIRLS TAKE BIG FISH Sturgeon so Large Fair Ang lers Can't Land It. MAN IS CALLED TO ASSIST Los Angeles Tonrlsts Almost Faint AVith Excitement When Finny Prize Is Captured on Willamette River. On the first lap of a Journey across the continent, two Los Angeles girls found their first real sport In Oregon yeeterday morning, when they went fishing in the Willamette River and caught a sturgeon so big that they iad to drag it near shore and call for help from a fisherman to land it. It was a sturgeon the kind from which the best caviare is ootained. Then in their excitement the girls almost fainted with the success of their outing an outing which million aires have spent hundreds to dupli cate and gone away without finding so well. The girls were Dorothy Morgan and Edna Small, petite youngsters. The girls went ' four miles up the river in a borrowed rowboat early yes terday morning. They had been fish- and the remainder wa for improve-. lnS "ly .w minutes when they felt mt. h i I an emphatic bite on their slender line. the time and Miss Small was sending the boat along slowly. For a minute we didn't know what to do," said Miss Morgan after the exciting episode. "But we Just tugged at it and held on for dear life until- oh, I don't know how long and it fought' back with all its might. "Finally we had presence of mind enough to row for the shore, where we hailed a fisherman, and got help in landing it. Imagine our surprise when we found out it was a sturgeon about three feet long and it must have weighed 30 pounds. I don't know whether we are allowed to have it or not, but we got it anyway. 'Yes, and look at us, we got all wet. too." chirped in the fascinating Miss hdna small. The girls took their catch to the Hotel Benson, where they are staying. and it was the object of many eyes during the day. It was also the in spiration of a string of fish yarns which were strung out through the hotel lobby all afternoon by sportsmen oia ana young, who could only recall stirring tisn tales or their own experi ence. The sturgeon was the blgeest fish the girls had ever caught. It took iaem more than an hour to land it. MARRIAGE ADVIGE URGED PARENTS SHOULD MAKE SUGGES TIONS, SAYS PASTOR. Children Resentful, Says Dr. J. Harvey Deere, at White Templet Isaac and Rebecca Taken aa Ideals. Dr. J. Harvey Deere, pastor of the First Baptist Church, of Fresno, Cai., told the congregation of the White Temple last night that more happiness would result if the old teachings of the Bible as to marriage would be followed. 'The woman whom God gives to a man for his wife is industrious," said Dr. Deere. "She is economical, com forting and is able to care for a home. If the home is the unit of society and marriage is its foundation, then God help us ministers to talk more frequently of home and marriage. "Parents should at least be able to make suggestions to their children about marriage. "Isaac did not have to wear rusty nails on his clothes for buttons. Re becca was a wife given him by God. If parents took the same religious in terest in their children that Abraham did in Isaac there would be fewer dl vorces. Children nowadays resent the slightest suggestion as to who shall be their companions. Lives would be spared Nowadays if men burned their bridges behind them. They think much more of their lodge, their pleasures, their business and their parents, than of the marriage that re sulted from the vows pledged in whls perlngs of love and amid the fragrance or flowers.
