Commercial Club To Ask Council For Sewer i - A recommendation from tho Commer cial club regarding the sewer to be ex tended on Thirteenth street will be pre sented to the city council this evening. Tho communication recommends that a sower be constructed on Thirteenth street to extend to Twenty-fifth street to what is known as the slaughter house district. The distance is about one mile and a half ami the cost of construction estimated to be about $-1,000. Should this sewer bo constructed Steusloff Bros, agree to build an abat toir at a cost of uot less than $20,000. A modern abattoir would make Salem an independent market for hogs and cattle raised in the Willamette valley. Albany has just completed an abut ter at a cost of $10,500 and several oth er cities expect to build. An abattoir of the size proposed for Salem, would employ at nil times 10 skilled men. The recommendation will probably be refer red to the committee on sewers, Alder man Hudelson, Unruh nnd Millelt, and bo disposed of at another meeting. The communication is signed by A.

"Belligerents," he said, "have neg lected in an ever increasing decree the written international laws for the pro tection for neutrals and for limiting violence in war. Sweden more than once has been obliged t' intervene against the attempts to put her indus trial and commercial life under the usurped control of another power."

Hatch, superintendent of tho state lunacy commission and four other phy sicians to examine Oxnum anil follow ing their report tho reprieves were granted. In ordering the investigation the governor mado this statement: "What I am seeking is to nsccrtain whether Oxnam is in such a mental condition as renders liim responsible to the law. I do not wish to draw linn spun distinctions of intellectual inca pacity, nor theoietically to determine the difference that may exist between the normal or abnormal or subnormal; but broadly, should Oxnum suffer the penalty of his crimo, or should the hu mane rule of the law that those men tally irresponsible shall not bo exe cuted require me in this case to com mute tho sentence ."' Dr. Hatch in his report said: "While we are agreed that Oxnam was not in sane at tho time of the crime wo be lieve that he hnd not reached that period of mental development that would enable him to feci tho differ ence between right and wrong as to the act and bo guided by it. Oxnam, 's fatiier, a minister, was undoubtedly a degenerate and transmitted to his son an inferiority of mind that has crippled him in his struggle for existence."
