Tillamook streect, for use as a to
bacco jar, was later turned over to
Deputy Corouer Fraud Dane nnd
both tho detective department and
the coroner's office are tpdny work
ing on the possibilities of murder
indicated by the find.
Tho skull was found at the foot of
Hancock street lying on top of a pile
of rubbish by two small bojs living
in the neighborhood. At O'Neal's re
quest the skull was turned over to
him nnd he took it to his home where
he cut off the top and was preparing
to use it as a tobacco receptacle.
His mother, however, insisted that
the authorities be notified nnd Dune

WIFE WAS TOO PRETTY;
SO HE SHOT HER
EVERETT, Wash., Oct. 15. His
mlndtaffected by Jealousy and mad
denecTbecause his wife was so beau
tiful that she attracted unusual at
tention from other men, Ernest
Wlnkley, 30 years old, shot and kill
ed his 22-yoar-old wife, fired a shot
Into tho back of Mrs. Pearl Mayfleld,
his wife's sister, and then made three
-desperate- attempts to kill himself.
After shooting his wife and her
sister, WInkley fired a bullet Into his
own head. This failed to render him
-unconscious, so Le groped around the
death chamber and, finding a bottlo
of antiseptic, swallowed it. Then he
slashed his threat with a knife and
threw himself across his wife's corpse
to die.
CHICAGO, Oct. 15. A special dis
patch from Washington says:
"The rnilronds are going to get
nearly everything they hnvo asked
for in the way of freight increases,
according to the opinion expressed
by unofficial authorities on railroad
rate regulation who have been
watching the investigation conducted
by the interstate commerce commis
sion. Tho general feeling is that the
commission will effect a compromise
between the demands of the roads
and the objections of the shippers
with the weight of advantage on the
railroad side.
All possibility of the rate question
becoming involved in the issue of the
congressional election next month
was removed by the announcement
made bj the commission to tho offeot
that advances asked by the western
roads would be held up until Febru
ary 12th.
It has been announced that the
eastern rate advances similarly
would be postponed until that date.
In each case the postponement of tho
date on which the roads wish the
higher rates to become effective was
obtained by agreement between the
commission nnd the railroad offi
cials.
In each case the postponement is
voluntary on tho part of the roads
and not a suspension by the com
mission as provided bv the new Na
tional rate regulation law.

That Cold Room
on the side of the house where
winter blasts strike hardest always
has a lower temperature than trie
rest of the house. There are times
when it is necessary to raise the
temperature quickly or to keep the
temperature up for a long period.
That can't be done by the regular
method of heating without great
trouble and overheating the rest of
the house. The only reliable
method of heating such a room
alone by other means is to use a
jERFectio
