DECISION AGAINST GIRL (Continued from page 1) lighted room which auickr filled with spectators as the word unread that the Jury was ready to report. Ar W. H. Meadows, foreman of the jury, had snoken 'the word. which will tend her to the peniten tiary. Miss Lusk leaned her head back against her father's shoulder like a t ed child. i Arter remaining quiet for a mo ment, her eyes closed, she slowly rose to her feet and despite Mr. Lusk's eftyrts to restrain her and quiety walked around the' counsel table until she confronted Mr. Tullar There was an utter silence as she paused dramatically before throwing herself at the aged man with a half choked cry which could be heard In every part of the building. At midnight Miss Lusk was rest ing quietly in her cell under the In fluence of opiates.. Judge Lueck aft er the outbreak requested counsel for the defense to hold all motions in abeyance and immediately adjourn ed court. Members of the Jury said that ten ballots were necessary to arrive at the verdict. Shooting on June 21, 1917. Mrs. Roberts was shot and killed by Miss Lusk in the latter's home the afternoon of June 21. 1917. .The tragedy followed a friendship extend ing back to the summer of 1914" be tween Dr. David Roberts, former state veterinarian. ' and nationally known as a manufacturer of propri etary . medicines for cattle, and Miss Lusk had won distinction as an edu cator after having taken a degree at the University of Wisconsin. At the time she met Dr. Roberts she was a teacher in the Waukesha normal school. .After slaying Mrs. Roberts, IMss Lusk fired! two bullets Into her own body with Mhe itnention of ending her life but later recovered and for the past ten months has been held in the Waukesha jail. Her trial on a charge, of murder began May 13.

He was taken to London. GERMANS CONTINUE PUSH (Continued from page 1) mans were pushing hardest. The fighting has been continuous for two days through a country com posed of a series of chalky plateaus, with winding valleys, whose slopes are half clothed with trees and con taining many caverns. 'Along the top of one of the principal ridges runs the famous Chemin-des-Dames, from which vaUeys spread angularly to wards the Aisne. The allied pos session of this ridge compromised the security of the German southern flank. Allied Line Thin. The enemy's torrent of divisions, rolling forward, found only the thin nest line of allied troops facing the advance. These fell back before the irresistible pressure, retiring but struggling valiantly. The torrent as it moved up forward became even stronger, for the Germans added n ' forces to it. Even the Asine did not stay Its rush. The Germans followed the allies across the river and at the same timespread along the sides, the allies. having decided that it was uselesrJ o sacrmce men in efrorts to hold these positions with too few defend ers. ' The southern slopes of the Aisne valley offered good ground to the alies to Stand, had they been in suf ficient force. But the Germans were in imra'sely superior numbers, and the allied commanders chose t re tire to the planeau Leyomi and thus give an opportunity for the reserves to concentrate. It Is probable that before the advancing German torrent weakens, f urther territory will fall into the hands of the enemy. That, however, in the opinion of French of ficers, will not affect the strength of the allied forces, which retain their striking power for the future. Work tun Single fnlt.

Tbe sale of eleven million feet of western yel low pine at $2.95 per M and a million three hundied thousand feet of Doug las fir and other species at SO cents per thousand was made to the Wasco Pine Lumber company of the Dalles. Or. The timber stands on the Tam arack Creek drainage basin. Oregon National Forest. It' probably will be milled at the company's mill on the tract.

TACOMA. Wash., May 29. A bayou of American lake, in an unfrequented part of the can tonment not far from Greene park, today became for the time being a sector of the river Rhine. Across the river were the German trenches. It was necessary for an American force to cross the river and therein lies one of the reasons for the exist ence of the 316th engineers as a part or the 91st division. It was the fist experience of the engineers in laying a pontoon brdge and though a battery or machine guns and regiment or Infantry on the further side would hare seriously in terfered had they been present, the engineers made a very creditable showing for their first practice at pontoon bridge building. The boats were carried to the bay ou yesterday and today on wagons at a signal rowed to what would have been upstream and anchored. The planks and beams were carried out and within a short space of time there was a bridge upon which a whole regiment of troops might cross for the attack. The Associated Press correspond ent was permitted to witness the en gineers' efforts. Each man respond ed promptly when called to his spe cial assignment. The boats drew up before the embankment, beams were placed and tbe boats shoved off, tb bridge being completed by units in a manner quite remarkable to a ci vilian. Crews were selected from various companies of the regiment and then the bridge was torn down and an other group of soldiers took their turn on the water. Rowing a flat bottom scow was a new experience for many or the men who came rrom some of the inland states where the biggest stream of water is an Irriga tion ditch. The men took a real de light in guiding the boats about, handling or the crart being a neces sary part of their training before go ing overseas. Every organization in the rai ment will be given pontoon training, first on the quiet waters of the bayou and later on a swift moving stream, which will put to a test their knowl edge of this necessary part of mili tary duties. ' While the engineers were bridging tbe bayou, about 500 men from an other regiment at camp orf duty for the afternoon were having their first big swim or tbe season. The water has been too cold ror a plunge until within tbe last few days.. Civilians are barred from this part of the can tonment and the "natural 'bathing beach proved popular with tbe men at camp last fall. Tomorrow will be a genera! holi day at camp, only necessary duties being performed, while the canton ment observes Memorial day. There will be no holiday, however, for the naturalization board which- Is pre paring alien soldiers for their final citizenship papers which will be is sued Saturday when the federal court Is moved to the library of the depot brigade for tbe day. Approximately 600 men had gone through tbe pre liminary examination today and it was expected 1200 would be ready to take the oath of allegiance Satur day. The hotel men from California. Oregon and Washington in conven tion at Seattle, came to camp this afternoon and were escorted over tho cantonment, visite friends from their home states and got a view or the soldiers at the real earnest wor of training, for. which the weather now Is most favorable. There was some relief today for the overworked personnel of the re ceiving station with Incoming draft arrivals slightly over 1100 as com pared with 4729 men yesterday, the biggeet day in months. Tomorrow and Friday are expected to finish up the May contingent. The physicians of the mustering office where the men are given their final examinations preliminary to ac ceptance in the army, are setting new records for handling men. an aver age of 1200 men being passed each day.
