PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 24. (Spe
cial). Portland doea not approve of
Dr. Henry Waldo Coe's statue of
Lincoln, the design of which haa been
. on exhibition at the central library
for aeveral weeka. The art coininia
lon of the city will recommend re
jection of Oenrge Kite Waters' con
ception of the emancipator as too uul.
que In its report to the city council,
it was announced todsy.
Public opinion is almost unnnlimiua
that tiie elatue portraying Lincoln in
hii campaigning days beforo be won
recognition and before he became
. president is not the Lincoln recognia
ed generally. The face appearing on
tho Lincoln penny serins to lie more
popular.
When Dr. Cue offered the statue
to Portland he declared he was not
altogether satisfied with the artitt'a
pinna. It Is believed that he may in
duce the sculptor to change the de
sign to cnuforni to popular fancy.

RAN FRANCISCO, Cttl., Jan. 24.
"Blood, though it alccp a time, nev
er dies"
That unoxplalnnblc something which
unites and holds us to those wo love
is being exemplified in the case of
Dorothy Ellingson.
Dorothy killed her mother no she
Would be free to lend a life of "Jn.z1
and hilarity her father and brother
spurned her.
"She should hang!" the brother
said aa he and his father turned their
backs on Dorothy at tho coroner's
luqucai.
Mother Spirit Wins
But blood runs thicker than water
and Dorothy haa been reunited with
her father and brother all because
the mother apirit returned to tho
dreama of Iter son, aud pleaded for
kindness for tho daughter who hud
killed her.
Tho reconciliation of Dorothy with
her father and brother waa one of the
most drnmntlc in polico nunulB.
Her brother Enri, nil-foot Viking,
picked Dorothy tip In hiH anna and
rocked her ns a baby, while father,
unable to speak, clung to their arms.
"At first I hated her," Enrl said,
"but mother came to mo like a vision
and asked pity for her. Father and
I wilt do everything possible for her
defense."
Though tHe reconciliation with her
father and brother haa somewhat
dampened her nplrit, Dorothy, like a
dubante who haa scored a success,
ia excitedly Interested in all the public
attention that ia here.
Kho ia up early in the morning to
prepare her tawny hair and to rouge
her heavy lips. Her appetite ia keen
and she aska for ham and eggs, toast
and coffee,
Dorothy smiles at photographers,
even though they ask her to look
aeriouB.
Sho pena a poem for'the newspap
ers and exnlnins that it isn"t all or
iginal, that she wrotcsomc of the
lines iroin memory.
Dorothy talks generously of life.
Her philosophy is "I want to nave a
good time."
She makea no complaint, manifests
llttlo remorse and owns no pity, either
for others or for herself.
She started young In life to exact
pleasure, ns she understands pleasure.
That which stood in her way ahe ro
That ia why, when ner mother
warned her that another into party
would bring dire conscquencea, ahe
shot her mother and went about her
way to another party.,"
What makes it possible for her to
bo so brnzen and mcrcilcBs? Her
background is ordinary. Therb was
no novertv. Her father and mother
quarreled and Bcporoted over Dorothy
herself.
Brother Estranged
The brother. Earl, estranged him
self when the girl, nt the oge of 12,
started associating with men. If thcro
was etrifo in her fnnnly it was tho
effect of her waywardness jathor
than its cause.
Scientists say she ia a moron; that
she inthcrits subnormality pcrhapa
two or throe gonerntion8 back.-
But while scientist8 discusa her.
while newspapers editorialise and call
her tho jsia-girl, whilo preachera talk
of Dorothy the unmoral, sho rcats
easily in her cell.
Laughs Witn Lite
Only tho reconciliation with heri
fnther and brother moved her and ,
then only for tho moment. I
Dorothy, abnormal in her poise and
in her sense of romance aud aubnor
mal in sense of love and responsibil
ity, is yet lnughing with life.

SUN'S ECLIPSE
Purple Light Descends Over

Bailey Beads Observed Just
Before Eclipse Becomes
Total In Effect
KIIOXX,, X. Y.. Jan. 24. OP)
The two ring celestial circus a total
eclipse of the sun was auccessfully
performed in all its brilliant glory
at 0:11 a. m. today, precisely as
astronomers predicted it would.
Not a cloud screened the passing of
the moon before the sun'a disc, ami
all the attendant phenomena Bailey
beads, tbe shadow band, and the pear
ly corona were observed by thous
anda wbo filled afreets and housetops
in the northern Bcction of tbe met
ropolis. Mercury, Jupiter and Venus
were aa clearly visible as at night.
Green, gold aud acarlet splashed the
horizon, adding to the grand spec
tacle. The corona of the sun waa perfect.
The shadow of tho total eclipse
stole across tbe snow-covered land
scape, visible about two minutes be
fore and after the totality.
Lasts 30 Seconds
Tiie total eclipse lasted for about
thirty aecouds, aa acientlsta bad fore
cast. A purple light gradually descended
over the earth, forerunning the total
darkness. There waa a period of
darker purple and black grey light,
during which dancing wavea of crea
cented ligbta wove a fantastic pattern
on anow fields, roadwaya aud tbe
aidea of buildings.
Bailey beads, dancing like drops
of liquid to topaz atrung on a spark
ling threat, hung in the sky for just
a nioineut before the eclipse became
total. As they flickered out the
shadow banda flared forth weirdly,
heralding the appearance of awe-iu-spiring
corona. .
; Seemi Longer
It seemed lika many minutes rath
er than a few aeconda that darkness
saturated earth and sky, except for
that small portion where hung the
dazzling circle of colorful fire.
Then slowly the shadow banda ap
peared on tbe opposite aide of the
solar lunar conjunction. Bailey bend
spread their ocbre crescent niu a
feature of the spectacular eclipse
about which the furrcaata of astron
omers had ''aid little.
Bv this time corona had subsided.
I chased into invisibility by the re
I gathering splendor of the sun. A few
minutes more nud the spactacle turn
ed in to the final stages, looking
much aa it did in the initial phase
only in the reverse like a nuarter
moon of supernatural brilliance grad
ually evolving to full moon propor
tions. Twilight slowly enmo day
light again.
(Continued from page one)
showed that a short wave length fol
lows the sun and that static ia not en
tirely a local condition.
The eclipse averaged four seconds
later than astronomers bad calculat
ed. It was five seconds behind sched
ule at Cornell, three seconds at Vaa
sar, and five aeconds at Yale.
DEER TERRORIZED

BRITISH DISAPPOINTED
LONDON, Jan. 24. OP) Britiah
astronomers and1 laymen in this coun
try today were wishing theinselvee in
the northern part of the United
States or Canada to enjoy the rare
experience of witnessing a total
eclipse of the sun.
Being denied the privilege they are
making the best of the prospect of a
partial obscuration, which ia all that
the geographical position of the Brit
ish Islea affords.
FRANCE LEFT OUT
PARIS, Jan. 24. OP Today'a ao
lar eclipse will be a partial one in
Paris, only three-quarters of the
sun's diameter being covered by the
moon. It will begin at 2:50:03 p. in.,
Paris time, and will not be finished
at sunder.
Tho greatest phase will endure only
two minutes, thirty seconds. The
French astronomers, therefore, uro
making no extravagant preparation
for observations of the phenomeuon,
but the street hawkers are anticipat
ing a great business iL colored
