"Of course you do not expect me
to make a speech this morning," he
said to the crowd at Sedalia. Mo. "We
in Ameriwa are very insistent about
the observances of the proprieties and
increased reverence with which we
keep the Sabbath day.
"I had rather be on the safe si-de

religion because those are the things
we need a little more pronounced in
our national life."

The production is an adaptation by
Hex Beach of a GoVerneur Morris
story of the same name which ap

ESTHER
WAR WORKER OF POUTLiSD
SCCCUMBS IX FRANCE.
Rose Goodman With, Sister on Trip
Abroad to Recuperate After
Strenuous Hospital Work.
Xews of the death of Miss Esther
Goodman, well-known public worker
and grade school teacher, and active
in army hospital work during the late
war, was received by relatives in
Portland yesterday in a cablegram
from Neuilly, France. The cablegram,
which came from Miss Goodman's
sister. Rose, told nothing about the
circumstances preceding death.
The two Bisters, both of whom are!
well known in Portland, had under
taken the trip abroad primarily to
recuperate from the effects of a long
period of work in the military hos
nital at Vancouver, Wash., during the
war. It is believed by her relatives
in this city that Miss Esther Good
man was unable to overcome the ef-
fne.ts of that experience in spite of
the hope that had been entertained
prior to her departure.
Miss Goodman was born in this city
S5 vears ago and educated In Port-
land schools. Monmouth Normal school
and Willamette university. At v u
lamette university she was a class
mate of many persons since promi
nent in public affairs in the state.
She has been before the public in
her welfare work and activities
among the grade teachers' associa
tions of the state, "and other forms
of public work, and was widely
known.
During the war her tireless efforts
In the military hospitals, when she
worked literally night and day for
long periods, undermined her physique
to such an extent that she was on the
verge of a nervous breakdown prior
to her departure abroad early last
February.
The Goodman family have long been
pominent socially and financially in
this city and are well known through
out the state. Two of the brothers,
Maurice and Joseph, are principals in
the Goodman Brothers Shoe company.

an operation which he supposes will
mean the grafting of two perfect legs
on his pathetic stumps. The surgeon,
however, refuses to amputate legs
from the victim Blizzard has obtained
and Instead performs an operation on
Blizzard's brain, removing the cause
for his evil tendency and making him
normaLand for the first time respon
sible for his acts.
A tragic love story runs throughout
the picture. Blizzard, totally unat
tractive, has found , that the only
woman's caress which he can hops to
obtain is that lured by wealth and
power. He is forced to watch a girl
with whom he has fallen in love a
she and her sweetheart, a man of
great physical perfection and onarm,
daily show their happiness. The bit
terness with which this crippled man
watches what tie knows must be de
nied him has been powerfully por
trayed by Mr. Chaney.
The picture derives its name from
the final climax of the powerful plot
which takes Blizzard s life from him
just after he has received not only
his mental correction, but a great
happiness for which he has not dared
to hope.

DEATH CELLS SHUT
ON OWENS, RATHIE
Close Guard to Be Placed
Over Two Prisoners.
OTHERS "DRESSED IN'
Stoop and Henderson, Accomplices
in Murder, and Llndgren,
Forger, Start Sentences.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 10. (Special.)
Elvie D. Kerby. alias Jim Owens, and
John Leffebean, alias Jack Rathle,
were placed in death cells in the peni
tentiary here at noon today, where
they will remain under close guard
until December 3, when they will be
executed for the part they played in
the murder of Til Taylor, sheriff of
Umatilla connty.
Irvin Stoop and Floyd Henderson,
who also participated in the slaying
of the eastern Oregon officer, were
brought here with Owens and Rathle,
and are under sentence to pass the
remainder of their lives in the prison
Stoop is said to be a barber, and
after becoming acquainted with peni
tentiary discipline probably will be
assigned to work in the tonsorial de
partment of the institution.- Hcnder
son, it was said today, likely would
secure employment in the flax plant,
which is operated within the prison
enclosure.
ForKfr Also In Crronp.
The four murderers, together with
Alvin Lindgren. who is under sen
tence of four years for forgery, ar
rived here shortly before noon in
charge of Sheriff Taylor, brother of
the slain officer: Joe Lyday, traffic
policeman . at Pendleton, and Glen
Rushee, deputy sheriff under Mr.
Taylor. The men were hurried from
the depot to the prison in an automo
bile, where a curious crowd had as
sembled outside the enclosure to view
the urisoners. They were then taken
into the office of the receiving
warden, where they were "dressed
in." Stoop and Henderson apparently
were unaffected by this ordeal, and
smiled at the officers as they were
escorted into the main corridor of the
prison and assigned to their cells.
Owens and Rathie, who, according
to the officers accompanying them to
this city, danced and joked as they
were returned to the Umatilla county
lail after receiving their sentences
appeared in a serious mood upon their
arrival at the penitentiary. vrnen
questioned by newspaper men they
merely nodded their heads In unison
and refused to make any extended
statement for publication.
Women Sbevr Kindness.
"Do you have any hope of gaining
your release through a threatened ap
peal of your case to the supreme
court?" Owens was asked.
"I can't answer that question." re
torted the prisoner, "for the reason
that I am not familiar with the pro
ceedings attendant on such a move.'
Owens said, however, that he was
aware that a Baptist minister and a
small group of women at Pendleton
had become interested in his case and
had hoped to obtain contributions
aggregating $600 with which to ap
peal from the decision of the lower
court to Oregon's highest tribunal.
These same woYnen. Owens declared,
had brought sandwiches -to them dur
ing their incarceration in the eastern
Oregon jail, and on more than one
occasion bad provided them with
chicken dinners. Other kindnesses
had been showered upon Owens,
Rathle and the other slayers of Mr.
Taylor by these women, according to
the prisoner.
o Remorse Indicated.
During his brief conversation with
newspapermen and officials at the
prison. Owens looked his interviewers
squarely in the eye. and although not
gloating over the deed which will cost
him his life, he displayed no indica
tions of remorse. Asked regarding
his trial, Owens said "that it was all
right, but he did not believe that he
was accorded Justice." He refused,
however, to point out any specific in
stances where he had been unduly of
fended by the prosecuting officials.
Rathie, who apparently is of a more
crafty disposition than Owens, re
mained silent during the proceedings
prelimniary to his assignment to a
cell. Only once did he venture to par
ticipate in the conversation, and that
was in regard to the trip from Pen
dleton to this city.
Upon their arrival here Owens and
Rathle were attired in blue overalls.

tion of prison regulations. Neither
Owens nor Rathie indicated that they
would make any unusual demands of
the penitentiary officials.
Deputy Sheriff Bushee told Warden
Compton that Owens and Rathie ap
peared unusually happy after leaving
Pendleton and laughed and joked dur
ing the entire trip to this city.
We are delighted to be relieved of
further responsibility in connection
with the men involved in the Taylor
murder," said Mr. Bushee as the pris
oners were checked in at the prison.
"Never in the his.tory of Umatilla
county has there been aroused such
bitter feeling in a homicide case, and
we were fortunate that the five men
convicted of the crime were arrested,
tried and brought here without inter
ference and possible bloodshed."
Death Witoh Starts.
The death watch yesterday was
placed over Niel Hart, self-confessed
slayer of Mr. Taylor, who is in the
prison awaiting execution on Novem
ber 5. Iiart. who is an Intellectual
weakling when compared with Owens
and Rathie. . is deeply interested in
religion and hardly a day passes but
that he confers with the prison chap
lain. The death watch over Owens
and Rathie will not be ordered by
Warden Compton until 30 days before
the date set for the execution.
On the same train bearing the Pen
dleton murderers, the sheriff of Union
county brought to the penitentiary
Alonto Hewitt and Tj. H. Dewaide.
Hewitt is under one year sentence for
larceny from a dwelling, while De
waide will serve one year for bur
glary.
Scaffold flans Under Way.
Pendleton officers here today said
they had received information indi
cating that both Rathie and Owens
had previously served time in other
prisons. Both prisoners denied this
when confronted . with the evidence.
Warden Compton announced today
that preparations for the execution
of Hart had been in progress for more
than a week and that plans for the
erection of a scaffold had been partly
completed. It was first decided to
ouua me gauows In What is now
used as the "bull pen," but later the
plans were changed and the trap will
be installed in the Bertillon room on
the second floor of the main prison
building. The scaffold will be suf
ficiently large to provide for two
executions at the same time and wil
be strictly modern In lits construc
tion.
Three electric push buttons will
regulate the springing of the trap
and neither of the three men assigned
to preside over the device will ever
know definitely which one of them
actually sprung the trap.

WOMEN everywhere are finding out that
lard is one of the most unsatisfactory
of all cooking fats. It is absorbed into the food,
making it heavy, soggy and indigestible at times.
So much lard is taken up by the food during
cooking that it becomes more expensive to use.
Mazola is 100 pure vegetable oil. It never
penetrates into the food, but sears fish or meat
over, and preserves all the good flavors. At the
same time, it makes the food more digestible.
You too, should use Mazola for all cooking,
baking, frying and sauteing purposes.
Thousands of people everywhere use Mazola
as a delicious salad dressing, in preference to
olive oil or any other vegetable oil. It costs
about half what an acceptable grade of olive oil
would cost
