PMCTICES AND ERRORS MM

Semaphore Discarded; Birtchet
Smiles Again; Autoisis Pleased1
and Things Run Along as Usual
Like the new blown rose which
blooms, fades and dies, Salem's
own litle traffic semaphore, put
into use at the intersection of
State and Commercial streets, has
cc-me to an untimely erd and
passed from being.
The semaphore, a grotesque
contraption, which the Salem
Democrats declare was a piece of
propaganda on the ' part of the
Republicans because the sign
spelled "G O P" any way you
looked at it. was put io'o use Sat.
nrday afternoon, with Traffic Off
icer Birtchet at the helm. The
mercury was tickling the 93 mark
ail afternoon, but you wouldn't
gtiess it by looking at the officer,
who. as O'Henry would gay, was
busier than a one-armed paper
haihger with the hives.

carelessness, declared the other
morning that the people liked it.

Kirby and Rathie Without
Hope as Time Draws
Near for Execution '
Without hope that any legal
move or executive clemency will
snatch them from death early to
morrow when they are to be ex
ecuted for their Implication in
the murder of Sheriff Til Taylor
of Pendleton, Elvie D. Klrby and
John L. Rathie are standing up
under the strain and show no
signs of weakening. Warden J.
E. Lewis of the state prison said
yesterday.
The warden had Just come from
the cells of the two condemned
men, where he conversed with
them for some time.
Reprieve Xot Expected
?Both had been apprised of the
failure of their attorney to per
suade the United States supreme
court to take any action, and
neither believes that reprieve will
come from his further effort in
the federal court- in Portland
Months ago Klrby told a prison
official that when he left the
state prison he would go "feet
first" and he never , has allowed
himself to build up a hope for
commutation.
Apparently the only thing that
could now save the two men
would be executive clemency, and
there is no chance for this unless
prosecuting officials at Pendleton
themselves should make the re
quest of the governor.
Both Klrby and Rathie have
accepted the Catholic faith.
The execution of the two men
Friday morning will relieve them
from two years of confinement
in their narrow cells in murder
ers row at the state Drison.
Neither has ever given any
trouble,' said Warden Lewis.
"Both have been of pleasant de
meanor and they now are stand
ing up as well as men could be
expected to under the circumstan
ces."
The execution is scheduled for
8:30 o'clock Friday morning
Since there is only one trap in
the gibbet In the Bertillon room
of the prison but one can be
hanged at a time.
Warden Lewis sent out invita
tions yesterday to those who are
allowed to witness executions.
Jail Delivery Staged
Kirby and Rathie are to be
executed for the part they played
in the murder of Sheriff Til Thy
lor of Umatilla county on July
25, 1920, when they, together
with Nell Hart, Floyd Henderson
and Irvin L. Stoop, escaped from

The contestant alleges that
correct count -would wipe out all
the Olcott plurality of 621 and
would show that Hall actually re

These figures tally remarkably
close to the claims made from
Hall headquarters within a day
of two after the election. '
