Youthful Slayer Is
Saved From Death
Penalty; Gets Life
Sacramento, Cal., )ct. 18. (U. P.)-
to die on the gallows next Friday, was
saved from that fate late today when
Governor Stephens, apparently swayed
ty public sentiment, commuted the lad's
sentence to life imprisonment.
Asserting the belief . that Wolff is
mentally subnormal, Governor Stephens
said:
"I am of the opinion that the full
spirit of the law will be observed by
the Imprisonment of Wolff for the period
'of his natural life."'
'Young Wolff, whose parents live in
Yakima, Wash., was convicted in Bak
ersfleld, Cal., of the murder of Elmer
Greer, a taxlcab driver. He had en
gaged Greer's automobile and while be
ing driven to a point in Kern county
v udiiuu vii cci o biiuii wiin a Ham
mer. After the extreme penalty had been
Imposed thousands of letters, petitions
and appeals poured Into the governor's
, Office from churches. 'clubs, officials and
cltisens from all parts of the United
.States, asking commutation of the sen
. lence.

dry freight the ship sailed to Singapore.
It is a long way from Singapore to
Sues, and longer still when - the heat
seems to. lie in stifling clouds around
a ship.' like it did on the. days the
Arcturus ' steamed through the Red sea.
During this part of the trip the crew
found plenty of opportunity to become
acquainted with their pets, and it was
then that the rooster as a pet be
came undesirable. The crew had also
gathered up quite an assortment of
monkeys, canaries, parrots and dogs.
The monkeys were found to be the
most entertaining and the most hardy.
and finished the remainder of the voy
age without decreasing in numbers.
From Sues the steamer went direct
to New York city, where the' vessel
docked October 2, making nearly five
months en route.
Just outside New York city tbe ves
sel ran Into a hurricane that kepti
every loose thing aboard the vessel fly
ing. After - arriving on the Atlantic
Coast Wilson cbncluded his services
and came to Portland by train.
Prunes to Be Discussed
Unusual interest centers in the annual
meeting of the Oregon State Horticul
ture society, to be held at Eugene, De
cember 2, 3 and 4, when the chief topics
discussed will relate to the prune and
berry Industries of Oregon. J. O. Holt
Is president of the society, and C. D.
Mlnton is secretary.
A mixture of liquid air and powdered
aluminum has been invented in Europe
for blasting in mines, having more than
twice the power of black powder without
Its dangerous fumes.
' Scheduled to visit 24 cities and
towns of Eastern Oregon this, week.
St of the most prominent business
men. of Portland will leave the city
at 8 o'clock this evening; as mem
bers of the Eastern Oregon Trade ex
cursion.
This is the first business men's tour
to Eastern Oregon In 10 years and un
usual plans of welcome and entertain
nvent . have been arranged in the vart
ous cities to be visited. The excursion
will last for six days, the Portlanders
returning to this city next Sunday
morning after visiting practically every
town between Umatilla and Nyssa on
the O-W. R. & N, and on the branch
line between La Grande and Joseph.
EIGHT STANDARD SLEEPERS
A special tram of eight ' standard
sleepers will convey the business men
through the Eastern Oregon country.
Practically all of the traveling will be
done at night.
There Is barely a line 8t industry In
the city which will not. be represented
on the excursion. Every bank, newspa
per and civic club will have a repre
sentative. The Journal will be supplied
with news of the trip by Fred Lockley.
The spirit of friendship which has al
ways existed between the merchants of
Portland and Eastern Oregon win be
strengthened by the trip it is believed.
The Portlander will be given the oppor
tunity of meeting his fellow merchant
on his own ground.
From the success of the Southern Ore
gon excursion thia spring was conceived
the idea of a trip into the Eastern Ore
gon country. The merchant of this city
admits that It is hard to realize the
magnitude of local problems in smaller
cities and towns as far removed from
Portland as the communities which will
be visited on this trip. Personal contact
wilt broaden his business horizon and
show him a new angle for the conduct
of his trade.
FEATURES OF TRIP

and entertainments have been planned.

The "Cruise of tbe Arcturus" took Lester Wilson to many Interesting
places. Above Dutch passenger steamer passing the Arcturus near
Sourabo ya. Center A British merchant's headquarters at Hongkong.
Below The Arcturus discharging cargo at Shanghai.
, Uruguay is planning a permanent ex
.position at Montevideo to teach and ex-
tend the uses of electilcity.
Even an ancient Chinese rooster be
comes a. tempting morsel of food when
the ship's larder begins to run low
and the "chow" becomes poorer as
days on the ocean lengthen into weeks,
but when the rooster crows every half
hour as the ship's bell marks off the
passing time,, afi awakened crew has
to be reckoned with.
The crew aboard the Green Star liner
Arcturus liked their pet rooster. They
liked him well enough not to consider
him a morsel of food, but when the
cock crew so persistently he broke the
final straw and his neck had to be
wrung.
Otherwise the rooster might have en
Joyed the greater part of a 30,000-mile
trip around the world which the Arc
turus finished two weeks ago.
Lester L. Wilson, former employe of
The Journal, was more fortunate than
the rooster, however, and finished the
trip around the globe without trouble
of any kind. He enjoyed the trip, en
Joyed the -shifting scenes of the voy
age and enjoyed the pets gathered up
by the crew, with the exception of the
rooster, so he, too, sat in on the final
rites performed over the pet that paid
the penalty for making himself heard
too much.
Wilson signed for service aboard the
Arcturus May 1 and left Seattle May
1. The Green Star liner wa built at
the Stand if er yard at Vancouver.
Wash., and the voyage he signed for
was the maiden trip of the vessel.
From Seattle the vessel sailed direct
to Japan, making Yokohama the first
port of call. In Japan. Wilson said,
the spirit shown toward American
sailors was very much different than
they found later In China, where the
natives showed a greater hospitality.
Prom Yokohama the vessel- sailed to
Kobe, Shanghai and Hongkong. Then,
Just missing a typhoon which swept
the Beas in front of tbe vessel, it
nosed through to Manila.
At every port they visited Wilson
said American vessels were much in
evidence. Several Portland-built vessels
attracted his attention at the Oriental
ports.
Out of Manila the ship ran into
rough Beaa and the tossing waves
brought five stowaways "up for air."
One of the stowaways was a native
Filipino, while the other four were de
serting American soldiers. The five
were put ashore at Hlto Hilo.
'Java was the next high light of the
trip, a call being made at Sourabaya.
Then the ship headed toward Maccassa,
and after discharging 'and loading sun-
