Abe Evans of Dend. who is ii
a death cell at the state peniten
tiary, sentenced to hang Decem
ber 2 for killing James Doran oi'
McMinnvillc, declares that be
does not want his case appealed
to the supreme court and that he
wants to die on the date lixed
for his execution, so that hi?
troubles will be over. Evans has
so expressed himself to prison au
thorities. This means fliat on December
2 three men will be hanged at. the
state prison, the other two being
John L. Rathie and Elvie D. Klr
by, alias James Owens, who were
implicated in the killing of Sher
iff Til Taylor of Pendleton.
Evans case is -different from
that of ths usual prisoner in that
he is unable to read or write.

Evans it is different. The only
literature fc.e la able to enjoy Is
the illustrated periodicals that
are given him frequently. Minis

comfort, but frankly says he
wants to die on December 2 as
scheduled. He has told prison
authorities that if an appeal were
taken to the supreme court his
imprisonment in the little death
cell would merely be lengthened
into a year with the noose waiting
at the end. .
Evans has made two attempts
to end his life by suicide since he
was received at the state prison.
The crime for which Evans was
sentenced was committed nar
The Dalles in September. He tells
prison officials that he will make
a confession of his life on the
scaffold.

hangings are scheduled to begin
at 8:30 o'clock in the morning.
As soon as the first man is pro
nounced dead it will be necessary
to remove the rope, attach a new
rope above the scaffold and sus
pend from it a heavy weight as
a test of strength.
This performance also must be
repeated for the third man. The

more than one man. It is be

all the classes have been in train- j
mg for s3veral weeks, so that it
won't be a mere amateur perform- j
ance. The freshmen had to take j
every man's word for his running
ability, at first, for nobody knew
anybody, and a tubby person with
a good voice and a fertile imag
ination had as good a chance as
a greyhound athlete who could do
100 yards in 9 flat.
But they have weeded out the
false alarms, and the freshmen
will be represented by as aliant

All the older classes have had
their men sized up through pre
vious athletic competition, so they
start knowing fairly well what
material they have to count on.
Claire Gillett, who led the jun
iors and the whole university
squad last year, is ill with pneu
monia at his home in Woodburn;
not seriously, but he cannot be
expected to be in the competition.
His loss is a blow to the senior
aggregation.
The contest Is to be staged on
Tuesday, according to present
plans. It will comprise a few
turns around th3 quarter mile
track, a jaunt up Oak, Twelfth
and a few other streets, to make
a total distance of about two
miles. finishing at the grand
stand. Each team comprises five
men, and every contestant has to

The race is to start at or about

of the government position by Sir

The effect of the vote is to con
firm the mandate given Premier
Lloyd George by the house of
commons.
1'lster's reply to the premier,
wh'ch was delivered today, is de-.-cribed
as uncompromising. In
political circles the view taken is
that the deadlock has been reach
ed, for all the Sinn Fein negotia
tions with the government pro
ceeds on the basis that the unity
f Ireland was fundamental.
Though Ulster declines even to
d scuss such a basis in; conference

lief that the only way out is an

tion has been circulated among
the business men ot Iallas asking
that they close their places of
business during the coming winter
months at :30 instead of 6 o'clock
as at the present time. During
the war this practice was taken up
by the business men and after a
little "kicking" was found to work
perfectly. As both the sawmills
and the machine shops clo.se early
during the winter months the
merchants claim that the average
man has time to attend to his
business before the hour of 6.
