Octopus Romances in Tank Ends in Triple Tragedy Seattle, Oct. 13 U.R) Death struck for the second and third time in the octopus tank of a Seattle aquarium today, as pert eight armed Emily avenged the strangling of her 35-pound lover, "Lit tle Joe," by draining the 1000- f gallon tank, killing Oscar, hulk ing accused cephalopod, and herself. The public was immediately barred from the aquarium when it was discovered that grief stricken Emily had pulled out the drainage plug. Her lissome form, light tan in death, lay sprawled beside the outlet, three of her tentacles still clutching the stopper. Ten yards away, gasping out his mis-spent life, was Oscar, the strangler. Details of the suicide and mass murder were slow in com ing from owner Ivar Haglund, still numbed by the original loss Mill City Mr. and Mrs. Guy Griffith have complete improvements on the house . they purchased some time ago and moved in last week. Griffith is employ ed on the local Southern Paci fic highway. Miss Dorothy Higdon, daugh. ter of Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Hig don, underwent an appendec tomy in the Deaconess hospital in Salem. She returned home Monday and was reported to be getting along satisfactorily. Miss Higdon has been employ ed at the Miller Mercantile store in Salem. Frank Smith, Mill City high school principal, attended ,a three-day conference in Salem this week. Miss Lucille Corbin, sister of Mrs. Don Sheythe, is work ing in the local depot office, replacing Miss Bessie Kerr. Mr. and Mrs. Jay Koppock and daughter, Jean, of Oakland, Calif., who have been at the Arthur Kriever home, left Wed nesday after a two weeks' visit. Koppock and Mrs. Kriever are brother and sister. Arriving as a surprise at the Cecil Lake home were Mrs. Lake's father and two nieces, Frank Clarke, Bonnie and Shir ley Clarke, of Hardin, Mont. They plan to stay at least three weeks. Feme Clarke, who makes her home with the Lakes, accompanied by Shirley Clarke, are visiting in Junction City this week. The Mill City Manufacturing company mill did not operate after 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, due to a broken cable on the carriage. However, most of the mill men remained at the mill for other work.

Half of the amount is in the state general fund, while the rest is divided among a dozen other funds. ' Central Townsend club, No. 6, will meet Saturday morning at 447 Center street. Business meeting will be followed by a social hour. of "Little Joe." "I knew all along it was Os car that killed Little Joe," Hag lund admitted to members of the naval shore patrol attracted by crowds outside the locked aquarium doors. "But I didn't want the public thinking I was exhibiting a murder. And I was n't Sure which one Emily loved.' Graphically he told of last night's battle to the death, dur ing which Emily sat helpless while the game "Little Joe," cherry red with anger, attempt ed to block "that no good Os car" from molesting his love. Poles in the hands of attendants failed to break up the furious battle, and it was not until 15 minutes later that Oscar was driven back to a corner of the tank. By that time it was too late. Little Joe was dead. No one knows what happen ed last night. But Hagland is convinced that Emily slowly realized it was Little Joe she loved. "She wasn't much more than a debutante, but how that young lady must have loved." This morning, despite double guards, Emily reached her deci sion. She unleashed the waters of the tank. And Oscar, still slumbering, paid for his submar ine crimes. Replenishing of Fish Cosily Portland, Oct. 13 State game commission biologists said today that "the cost of replen ishing fish losses will probably be $4,000,000 if a high barrier is erected on the main Rogue River."

Despite the ostensible unan imity of the AFL and CIO mem bers on the board, there are some Important differences in their positions. Their association is more formal than intimate. Feelings run deep into the stratum of politics, labor-wise and nation ally. There have been no per sonal recriminations so far, but they may come after the elec tion. The gup in the labor movement Is widening. On the surface, two groups of labor leaders clamored for a liberalization of the little steel wage policy and both suffered ecmally by the WLB action in taking a non-committal position, but there is more to it. CIO President Philip Murray is in the position of having assured his members more than three weeks ago that the little steel formula would be. revised soon. He is in the position of pub licly advocating the candidacy of President Roosevelt and hence has risked some personal prestige in a labor movement that is already divided. He has specific contract disputes before the WLB involving large amounts of retroactive pay which might be lost to his mem bers if the wage formula went unchanged until the reconver sion period. Murray antagon ists wisecrack that the CIO members have already spent the retroactive pay. Mrs. Walton, Teacher, Dies Teacher in the Salem schools for many years and in the Co quille, Oregon, schools for the past IS years, Mrs. Edith Camp bell Walton, died Thursday at a local hospital, where she had been confined following a re cent stroke.

A member of the Oregon State Teachers' associa tion for many years, Mrs. Camp bell was also an active member of the Coquille Business and Professional Women's club. Surviving are a son, Lt. Dud ley C. Walton of the U. S. navy in the south Pacific; a daughter in-law. Mrs. Alice Walton of Seattle; three sisters, Mrs. Jack Ralston of Lebanon, Mrs. J. A.

It's just an old wheeze like "Friday's a dry day" or Hmm. Come to think of it the coun-i- try did go dry, or at least the 18th amendment went into ef fect, on a Friday. Pure coincidence, of course. Maybe Friday wasn't luckv, either, for Solomon Grundy "born on Monday buried on Fridav" or for the speculators who lost their bibs and tuckers in Wall Street's "black Friday." Chesf Workers Hear Harrison "What are we going to do with them when they come home?" asked Dr. J. C. Harri son, pastor of the First Meth odist church as he addressed workers in the Salem United War chest and members of the Salem Lions club during the lunch hour Thursday noon. Ob viously referring to men over seas. Dr. Harrison said that on the manner in which this coun try answers the question would depend the course of the nation. He spoke of Warden George Alexander of the state prison and of C. A. Kells. secretary of the YMCA, "both long workers in the community chest, who are striving toward the same end to keep the youth of the land out of such places as the one at the east end of State street." The speaker commented on the humble beginnings of three personages who have died in recent days Al Smith, Wendell Willkie and Amy McPherson. "There never was a man more loyal to his church than Al Smith," Dr. Harrison remarked. "He came from the east end." He said that Willkie was born of poor German immigrant par ents while Mrs. McPherson was born on a humble farm in Canada. "Many of the boys will be coming back to the 'north end' and the 'east side' to find cork ditions little changed." the speaker said. Continuance of the agencies which have prov ed their worth during times of war should be given the seri ous consideration of those inter ested in the youth of the land. Halsey Reports (Continued from Page 1) Although the communique re ferred only to carrier planes in the Formosa raid, Tokyo said the attack was made by bomb ers and fighters from U. S. army bases in China, and Mit scher's fighters. The report also was carried in the Japanese communique which said the island fortress had been attacked from "both sides," and Tokyo radio said "Great importance must be at tached to the fact" that U. S. army and navy planes were able to make a joint, coordinated at tack. Another enemy broadcast in dicated the serious view taken by the Japanese of Mitscher's powerful blows. It said that thickly populated areas of sev eral towns on Formosa had been partially evacuated and "opportune measures have been taken against possible eventual enemy landing attempts." WCTU Convention Delegates Chosen Monmouth The local WCTU met Monday afternoon in the Evangelical church parlors. Mrs. J. H. Cady, president, pre sided i,t the business meeting, at which lime Mrs. Alice Taylor and Mrs. M. B. Layton were elected delegates to the 61st an nual convention, to be held In Portland, October 17-20. Three others, Mrs. Cudy, Mrs. A. D. Campbell and Mrs. R. Mathaney of the local union, but holding county offices, will go as dele gates from the county. Unluckiness course it s just superstition that But what does that provs about the 13th? Well, the records show that an earthquake in Ecuador kill ed 200 on May 13, 1942, and a mine disaster at Cherry, 111., claimed 239 lives on Nov. 13, 1909. It was on Dec. 13. 1941, that Hungary and Bulgaria declared war on the United States an unlucky day for Hungary and Bulgaria and on May 13, 1940, that the Netherlands forcei capitulated to the Germans. The first blood of the Ameri can Revolution was shed at Westminster, Vt., on March 13, 1775, and the United States de clared war on Mexico on May 13, 1846. Long before the 13th amendment abolished slavery, 13 slaves were put to death in New York. All coincidence, of course, with no more meaning than the old Pennsylvania Dutch belief that fairies invade your house on Fridays. They won't hurt you if you say, "a blessing at tend their departing and trav eling; this day is Friday and they will not hear us." Nobody believes in that sort of thing nowadays, but this be ing Friday the 13th, and just to be on the safe side, shall we ra peat in chorus: "A blessing attend . . ." Plan Sales of Xmas Seals Preliminary work m connec tion with the annual sale of Christmas seals is being don under the direction of the Mar ion county health association ai sisted by a number of volunteer assistants. The group 1 en gaged In preparing approxi mately 20,000 envelopes, each containing a letter and a sup ply of seals, for mailing throughout the county. A dif ferent plan has been adopted for this year's mail campaign. Instead of all of the letters be ing sent direct from Salem, quotas of the various districts are being sent to the several chairmen whose duty lt is to get the material in the mail at the proper time. Mrs. Ruby Bergsvlk, execu tive secretary of the association, reported today that a group of Camp Fire girls Wednesday put a seal on the back of more than 10,000 envelopes. Several groups of four high school girls each have been typing the ad dresses on the envelopes. Eliz abeth Hogg, coiwnercial depart ment instructor, is assisting In this project. Official opening of the teal campaign will be November 27 instead of a week earlier. The change was made in order that there would be no conflict with the war bond drive scheduled for next month.
