Miss De Selva made the fol lowing, statement to police to night: "I met Gilbert Pinto four months ago in San Francisco. We became good friends and saw each other often for eleyen days. He gave me reason to believe I would become his wife. Last Wednes day, a week ago, I went to see Gilbert in San Francisco. He would not see me. I then .learned he would be in Portland this Wednesday and Thursday. I came here, on the train, arriving last week. 1 "I went to see. him yesterday but he would not talk 'to me. - I gave him a letter stating my posi tion. ' Today I asked Mr. and Mrs. Frevert to go with. me to the 4fa lolo. I introduced ' them to Gil bert. Then I told them to wait a minute while I talked to him. "Gilbert took me to the dining room to talk. X asked him what his intentions were. "He 'burned me up' and I took out the revolver and shot at him. The hammer ' snapped and he jumped back, asking me what I was trying- to do. "I said 'I'm going to eend you 3V ' ' "He kicked a chair at me and I fired again. This time the re volver worked.

There have been forecasts that the "talkie" soon would displace the "silent" pic tures everywhere. ; Recently a number of notable films ot the new variety have been exhibited in Ealem. .. In ordej- to learn what the-' amusement loving public of this city thinks about the "talkies" as compared to' the caption-explained pictures several persons were questioned Thursday. This is what they had to say: - ,- . WILBUR SMITH, factory worker and recently come to Salem, said: "The talking pic tures are wonderful to me. I recollect 'the first movies the old flickering films. We thought them marvelous, but they were terrible as compared to the pres ent perfected product. If the 'talkies' are good today think what they probably will be 10 years from now. I look to, see them take the place of the sil. ent pictures In a short time."' . EOIS WILKES, high -school student, said: "Indeed I like the talkies better than the silent films. I think they are much more effective, and I enjoy them immensely. There- are two faults I find with the talk iesone is that the women's voices all sound alike, and the other is that the words used in the talking scenes are not al ways well chosen nor is some of the dialogue necessary to the; plot of the stories. I don't ob ject to the sub-titles flashed on the screen, although many peo ple seem to find them the chief objection to the talkies. , Of course, the talkies will continue to improve, even as the silent film has; and in due course of time will be infinitely superior to the regular motion picture." FRANCES LAWS, of the Clarion staff, said: "Oh. the si lent movies, by far. The 'talk ies' are well, I can't explain It very well, but they are far from perfect. They don't talk enough, at least it seems very odd to have subtitles and dia logues in the same picture. And then, the' music is not per fectly synchronized and sounds 'canned Well, I suppose every new Invention has to go through that experimental stage, but the talkies' have got a long way to travel before they become more than a novelty." - HARMON GARRETT, sales man at the Thrift grocery, said: "I think the talking movies break into one's trend ' of thought when the voice is em ployed only for the high spots In 'the picture. I like the talk ing comedies' better than the talkie too vies proper. It seems to me there are greater possi bilities for the talkies; they are far from, perfection now."

ELECTORAL VOTE SETS RECORD Mark of 444 Exceeds Previous High Total Received by ' ! i Wilson in 1912 Hoover's electoral vote in Tues day's national election was the greatest in the history of the United States, exceeding by nine the previous record made by Wood row Wilson against a split republican party In 1912, The fin al count in Tuesday's election, as compiled by The New Oregon Statesman, i places 444 electoral votes in the Hoover column as against 187 in the Smith column, Forty states favor Hoover with the remaining eight supporting Smith. Returns are sufficiently complete to make it highly im probable that final official results will change the classification of any state. Woodrow Wilson's record elec toral vote In 1912 was 435, Roose velt's total being 88 and Taft's S Roosevelt was running on a pro gresslve ticket and Taft was the regular republican nominee.

Sicily. . Nov. g; (AP) Devastating floods of mol ten lava In three main stream to night were slowly making thctr way down the slopes ot Mount Etna, spread a trail of destruction in their paths and driving terror stricken population of towns at the foot of the volcano from their homes. Although heavy property dam age has been caused In tne ov erflowing of fertile fields aad several small villages, the loss ot life was small, only three deaths being reported. These were in the town of Mascall. where three wien. a father, son and grandson, were overwhelmed in their home while, their fellow townsmen, helpless tol aid them, watched death over take them from beyond the lava lake. Men Trapped When Lava Floods Advances The man had returned to tb-ir doomed house to rescue various goods. They slept overnight and were trapped. The onrush of the three prin cipal lava streams which for a time threatened the whole region between Mascali and the - wt seemed to hare diminished in in tensity late today. They then wero making between 10 and 12 yards a I hour. This plowing up of the flow was attributed to variations in the nature of the ground whk.k- caused the three branches to de viate from their course. The branch which last night overran tne cemetery oi jwascait Nlunziata, however, was proceed ing faster than the central car rent and It was believed impos sible to predict Its future courre. The lava tonight was only about 200 yards from the railway bridge and station ot Mascall and orders were given to assure service by steamer between Messina and Cat ania. Terrific Storm !
