"There people who nro kicking
about the exhibits In tho Oregon

ing. "Everything Is splendid; In

Ilritisli officinl statement given out
this evening hays it is not true that
German warships luive bombarded
Dunkirk, on thp coast of France.
FROST AND WIND PREDICTED
(Continued from Paea 1.)
highlands were damaged. Icicles cov
ered all the trees. A storm of this
character at this time of the year
Is without precedent.

OAKLAND, Cal April 30. Moro
than 150,000 damage, It Is estimated
has been done throughout Alameda
county by the heavy wind of the last
twenty four hours. Fruit trees have
been stripped by the gale and many
of them have been uprooted. Ship

the night, many small craft being
driven ashore or damaged.
MrSICKGON, Midi., April .10. -Can
a wife heenmo so jealous of u
dnupliti'i a stepdaughter a- n rival
for the affection of tho husband nnd
father Unit vbe will murder?
Tlmt is tho ipiostinn that nn-os in
the. most ouollv executed slaying tlmt
this ivtrt of Michigan oor oxpon
mood.
The stepdaughter, who m;i 11
years of age, was the imago of her
divorced mother. She kissed her
father nnd sat on hi lap -until
foreed to nbaudou it by threats from
his second wife.
Thou she did it soeretly and tho
stepmother found it .put.
The next nol was the finding of Iho
body of little Kvelino Steele in an al
ley hnelc of her homo, and the step
mother's eonfossion, but not MitN
faotory explanation of the murder.
Horrifying Details
Mrs. Albert Steele, on niivst. ad
mitted the killing and revealed the
horrifying details. She told of strip
ping the little girl of every bit of
olothing in n woodshed in the roar of
her home. She told of binding tier
arms tightly at her sides, of blind
folding tier and then, having the lit
tle girl helpless, pulled out her tongue
nnd forced a spoonful of mtirintio
aoid down her throat. She described
how the child gulped down the poison
nnd her death struggles.
Aoid bums over the body of the
girl testify that she knew whnt was
happening to her and in hor fight foi
life spilled several spoonfuls of the
poison before tho fatal do-c was ad
ministered. Throw Ilorfy In Alley
The stepmother then decided to
bury the child nnd dug a hole in the
yard, hut on later thought decided to
throw the body into the alley, where
it was found.
After her confession the step
mother declared her motive for the
killing was to save the girl and rein
tives from shame, but phviioiiiiis who
examined the body say this statement
is preposterous.
Albert Steele, the girl's father, is
on the verge of madness. He curse
the woman his wife who killed bis
daughter that none other might share
his affections.
He wnlks out in the yard frequent
ly to view the hole the stepmother had
dug for burial.
"Why didn't they fill that hole?"
tie cries. "It will be in front of me
for the rct of my life.
Father Tolls Slory
"It hud always been mv custom
said Steele, in n calmer moment, "to
kiss my wife and Kvelina when leav
ing for work and when loturning. In
the evenings the child would sit on
my lap and tell me the little incidents
of her dav at school. I to fore retiring
I nould go into her room and ki hor
"Then suddenly this all changed
Wlien the three of us would he to
gether in the evenings the girl would
remain by herself and jofuso to -ii
on my lap. She would say nothing

JlVllotlsy ,Motlo ,
The authorities ate convinced that
Mr-. Steel killed the girl through,
jealousy pet haps as much because
the child looked like her mother, and
constantly reminded the stepmother
of her predecessor, as for the atten
tion lu-r father gave her.
Kvelina, some time before her,
death, confided to a school chum that
her mother shuck her with a biootn.
told her it was not ladylike for hor
to kiss Iter father and sit on his lap
and ordered her to do so no longer.
The stepmother is being held for
murder in the first degree. j
