Tonl Cerbonl Can't Be Comforted and Hasn't Heart to Play Ilia Mandolin. OREGON CITY. Or Dec. 23. (Spe cial.) Want a mandolin? Ton! Cerboni, native of far-off Italy, has one which he will give to anybody. True, it is well worn, but its notes are rich and sweet. Toni once only a day or two ago, in fact could entice from its much-thumbed strings the melodious opera of old Italy or the quicker strains of popular American tunes, but no more. Thia planet earth is a sad place devoid of the warming sunshine of hope for Toni now. He is waiting, patiently, for death, which he knows must come. Toni can't read, and the customs of America are unreal to him. In many countries the authorities take the life of a murderer, a life for a life, and Toni has killed a man. Oregon Justice must be like the Justice of other states and nations, he reasons, therefore he awaits the rope. "Two weeks. I be dead," he mourns to visitors at the county Jail. "Two weeks more, they killa me. I know." And Toni refuses to be comforted. Sheriff Wilson has spent much time in hthat the law of Oregon says the state cannot take an eye for an eye, a life lor a life. Italians have tried to ex plain the matter to Toni, but their ef- iorts are unavailing, liven an Italian priest from Portland was unable to convince Toni that his life Is safe. Tonl, therefore, has not the heart to play. For the last three days county officers have not stopped from their work to hear the sweet music from Tonl's mandolin come drifting up from the Jail in the courthouse basement, as they did a week ago, before the dread ful prospect of certain death etched It self so deeply on Toni's mind. Tonl killed a countryman out In tb.e Bull Run country several weeks ago in a quarrel over 60 cents. Sam, the dead man, says Tonl, demanded the 60icents. which Toni says he did not owe, until lie left the camp. A week or two later he returned, and the old quarrel opened up again until in the height of pas sion Toni shot Sam, and ever since Toni has sincerely regretted his act. He is bound over to the grand jury on a charge of second-degree murder, and will probably not be sentenced for sev eral weeks, although be has signed a complete confession. Benson Polytechnic Girls.

I thank you." Prevalent opinion ls to the effect that young Mr. Sinnott has the mak ings of a first-class publicity man.

In actual numbers, however. Commerce had more students present that Benson. The school closed for the Christmas vacation with the Commerce Pops, held Friday night.
