Jack London's famous story of the wild, latont instinct of a wonderful (i'og, will be the play presented by the A. A. U. V. tomorrow morning at the -Heilig theater for the regular Saturday morning mat inee for the children of Eugene. The stellar role of the picture is played by a great St. Bernard dog who is stolen from a rich home, where he had during his whole life been considered as practically an idol, and who is tnmsporu'd, after a brave fight, to the bleak, blustering, frozen wilds of northern Alaska, there to be used with a group of other 'huskies" in a dog team. The re markable physique of the dog, his rare intelligence which bespeaks the presenfe of pure blood, his plucky courape and Indomitable spirit, which throughout his long term of hardships never is broken r.re wonderfully portrayed. Scenes in the midst of his lux urious environment in California and later in tho cruel and terrify ing presence of those who stole him. in Alaska, are beyond description.

Astrology filmed prominently in disclosures following' the arrest of Arthur Covell, but was scarcely men tioned nt Ins trial, the prosecution coufinine itself to , evidence concern ing the den Hi of Mrs. Covell. Arthur, Covell had been living ai the home oi Dr. Covell, and was cared for by Mr. j Covell and the children. Bedridden with a broken back, as the result of injury in an automobile accident, he devoted much of his Urn? to the study of astrology. Investigat ors who caused the arrest of Arthur found notes in code which they Bald indicated he had planned many mui ders. Covell claimed thrse were writ ten solely to amuse himself. The prosecution charged that a mouth before the death of Mrs. Co vell, which occurred September 2. PUM. Covell had planned the inurd.r and enlisted the a.d of Altou. Lucille Covell, 14 year old sister of Alton, ad mitted, ou the stand, that she knew of the plan to murder, but aid aiie did not think it would be carried out. Strangulation Charged. Alt n was alleged to have strangled his stepmother in the kitchen of her home by applying an ammouia-sonked rag to her mouth. Her husband wtifi arrested nt f rt, but later was cleared of all supicion. Later Alton was ar rested and mnde a confession. He attacked her, though not in tending to kill her. When he f-un-l that he had killed her, he said he calmly set about killing the cats, dogs and chickens, and tried to kill the horses, but could not get near enough to them. He wanttd to do this, lie said because to intended to kill himself, and did not want hi livestock and pets to pet into the hands of other p-ople. - Finishing this, he sought his neighbor, James Culver and flew him He claimed Cluver hnd had illicit relations with Mrs. Peare. Coved wrote out a statement, in tending it for publication, declaring his innocence and laying the crime upon another person, obvicusly hif brother, Dr. Covell, ospeopath, who is said now to be in Kugeiie, and who is widower of the. slain woman. But Arthur Covell withdrew his statement. He addtessed a statement to Warden Dalrymple, which the warden had not received this morning.

Hut so was the friendly black and white cow which entered the delicates sen of Major M. II. Huutley, 42S Main street, at :-4o o'clock Inst evening, think Springfield citixeus. The cow, which had been tied to graze on a va cant lot near the down-town district, somehow got loose, and wandered about the city streets. lhe very so ciably followed Dick Sharuun of the Springfield Service station into the delicatessen, when he went in to get his evening cup of coffee. She paused on the threshold to look in, and then, whether intrigued by the smell of cof fee or not. decided to enter. She waa driven out by Major Huntley, but started to follow him in again, where upon he tied her to a telephone pole. Her famous relative in the china shop wns probably in a less interesting place, since it is to be noted that the delicatessen is maintained in conjunc tion with the Swart a and Washburne meat market, and there were sections of possible cousins and aunts on the chopping block. ter of civic pride to have a neat and clean city, says Mayor Parks.

"The return on property Invest ment in 11 1H was LPri per cent, ac cording ' to Mr. Kruttachnitt," nays Mr. Graham, "and in the year just closed it was barely -i per cent. In no year since the transportation act became effective has the Southern Pacific earned the return from rntes fixed by the interstate commerce commission as 'reasonable.' Mr. Kruttschnitt referred to re duction of railroad earnings by com petition of freight and passenger motors and the heavy load of taxes the railroads carry for "building and rebuilding highways torn to pieces under the wheels of its automobile competitors.
