Bruinficld, convicted murderer, who attempted to commit suicide last night by slashing bis neck, will live unless an infection sets in, Di Charles V. Wade, county physician, informed the . United Tress today. According to ' Dr. Wade, Brumfidd lies in a semi-quuscioua state, weak from loss of blood, with a slight fever, but with a steady and practically normal pulse force, showing he has yet a good supply of blood. Dr. Wade estimated Bruinficld ha lost about a half-pint of blood before Dr. A. 8. Sether could stop the flow lust night. ; "Brnmfield's condition shows slight Improvement," Dr. Wade's statement said. "He was in delirium throughout the night, continually muttering that someone had shot him. He appcarcs to know nothing of the nature of his actual wound. Ho will live unless utiforseen complications arise." According to Dr. Wade, Bruinficld may have inflicted his injuries with the sharp crowns on a removable dental bridge taken from his mouth. The con victed dentist's knowledge of the use to which such an instrument could be put to would allow this. It was thought at first that Brumfiekl might have cut him self with a piece of his glasses lense, or u safety razor blade. These theories haye been abandoned. - Dr. Wade found three cuts on Brum field's neck, one on tie left aide, three Inches long and very deep, severing sev eral minor veins and barely missing the jugular. Two cuts ou the right side were not so severe. One was two in ches long and .almost as deep as that on the left, while the other was a skin wound. Brumf fold's sentence tomorrow may be postponed because of his condition, it was Indicated. ' Trial Saps His Strength, rtoseburg, Ore., Oct. 21. Physicians today held in some doubt the recovery of Dr. llichaid M. Itrumfield. convicted murderer who last night was found in-' conscious on his cell cot with his throat badly slashed. , Dr. A. S. Sether. who attended Brutn flcld. t'eclared early today that the den tist, had been so weakened by the last two weeks of itrinl that It. was doubtful' jet if he would rally from the shock of the wound and the loss of blood. Brumfleld was convicted at midnight Wednesday for the murder of Dennis Unwell, hermit laborer, the night of .Inly '13. beheading the body and attempting to burn it. The iron control which has been the marvel of court "murder fans" luring the gruelling two weeks just passed, did not forsake Itrumfield until niter his wife had visited him in jail yes terday morning, and he had token leave of his two brothers. Is Given Opiate. Thrr. tha former Koscburg Beau Brmnniel broke down and wept in ter rible grief. AH the efforts of his wife failed to comfort him, but it was not known until Inst night when i Sheriff Kt,.fii.i. found his unconscious upon his cot that he had been so grievously af-! fected. Bruinficld last night was given an opiate when he failed to sleep, and (luring one of his periods of conscious ness informed the sheriff that he bad been shot.1 "I saw the flash and heard tne re rnrl," Bruinficld told the officer. Htarmer made an effort to have the prisoner tell bini where the safety razor blade with which he is supposed to have made the attempt upon his life was hid den. Bruinficld was too weak to talk. Dr. Sether said today that while the jugular vein was not harmed. Bruin ficld having apparently nimed for that vil li blnnd duet and failed to strike the murk, nevertheless, the condition of the ex-dentist is serious. Marv Garden. Operatic Star .

Tlu senate will shortly lie inked to save home hiew. lu response to a clamor raised about Pro hibition Commissioner Hoynes' recent or der to end home brewing by stopping the sale of materials and implements requir ed by home brewers, several senators are considering measures to get the issue settled. Among these are: 1 A resolution calling on Ilaynes to state by what construction of the lavf he feels himself empowered to enforce this ruling. 2 A set of amendments to Ihe Vol stead law defhung-inoro specifically and limiting more closely the prohibi tion commissioner's powers. 3 Complete revision of the law with a view to liberalizing it throughout. On account of the existing legislative sit uation, the effort to save home brew may be deferred until the December session. , Protests at f:rst appeared to come principally irom tnosc business concerns directly affected by the order, In thff( "VTr t . , , lnvi- fn. .!.... i., i n .officials that under the national defense and Ilaynes' office have been swamped with protests form individual citizens.

With this voNt reservoir of transpor tation (the motor trucks) supplemented by trains operated by men who refuse to strike or act as strike breakers, govern mcitit officials nre confid'ut' enough es sential commodities can be moved to pre vent any suffering throughout the coun try. The department of commerce is planning to suggest to governors of all the stales that preparationa be made to commandeer trucks to movo food, fuel and other supplies in tilie event the strike mntero'lfizes. A complete record of all trucks is iu the hands of state authorities, beenuse of the motor ear system. Interstate movement of sup plies will be directed by flu federal government but the main responsibility for keeping the thousands of communi ties supplied with commodities neces sary to their existence would be placed in the hands of governors who would be assisted by mayors and Hoover's plan.

Ptyvembrr 17, IS und 1!. The western Oregon golf championship will be decided at this tournament, the present plan being to offer suitable prizes for the winners of the meet. The main purpose In calling together the members of golf clubs In the west ern part of the state is to consider the organization of a Western Oregon Golf association for the purpose of staging an annual tournament of thin kind and for an organization of golfers to pro mote this sport. The tournament Itself will start with a (nullifying round on Thursday, IK holes, with eight to ijtuillfy. On Friday the flrat round and ncmi-ifinals, 18 holes, and on Saturday the finals, Ht holes. For those who do not qualify there have been flights of eight each arranged so that they will not be eliminated entirely from playing golf during their visit In Kugene. Arrangements have been made for the finalists to play their matches on Sunday if they prefer. Selection of November 17, IS and 10 was considered advisable, in spite of the fact that the dates are coincident with the University of Oregon Homecoming. It was thought that many who were coin- hie to nttend Homecoming would like to take pnrt In the tournmnent and that the Joint attraction would interest a large number who would not care to attend otherwise. The eutrnnee fee for those wishing to compete In the tournament has Iteen pinned at one dollar.
