Then Lee told for the first time of
the cancellation of a law governing his

The insurance department, said Lee,

a law which automatically cancels the
insurance of members if they go to war
"I set that law aside by executive

the part of the trainmen and there

Lee's executive ordor closed with
the statement:
"We. have felt the great patriotic
heart of the railways employes of tho
United States and Canada. If we have
erred in the isterests of liberty and
humanity, we ask your tolerance. It
often has been said by our enemies
that organized labor is" a menace to

loyalty will bo proved."

"Mr. Marshall signed a contract

"He kept putting us off until we be

Tho vice president is somewhere in

at . Gate Abolished
Abolish the admission fee to the Ore
gon State Fair at Salem next year and
thereby increase the activities of that
institution, eay members of the Oregon
inhibitors' association, which met at
the Land Products show Monday night.
I he ' association was organized during
the last state fair and is now preparing
to ask the legislature to appropriate
funds to make the fair independent of
admission fees and concession charges.
The benefits derived from displays and
competitions is lost the exhibitors de
clared, because the gate admission and
th9 cost of getting to the fair prevent
attendance of people who would be most
helped by it.
The exhibitors outlined plans for or
ganizing all county fairs in Oregon, to
gether with the statu fair, into a strong
and effective organization for the indus
trial development of the state.
Under the plans proposed all exhibits
in fairs would be standardized. Cash jj",
prizes would be eliminated. No admis
sion fees would be charged. Many ob
jectionable entertainment features
would be abolished and the fairs be
made purely educational exhibitions,
while the expense of holding county
fairs and the state fair at Salem would
be borne by the people through direct
taxation.

Detroit, Mich., Nov. 15. "I was only

my wife, I felt that I was protecting

. This was the explanation offered to
day by Peter J. Pearson, Fargo, N.-.D
for killing William J. Collins last night.
Pearson pulled the trigger with de
liberation, ending a search of more than
a year. Pearson even smiled when Col
lins tried to say the woman forced her

According to Pearson, his wife and
Collins had berths in the same sleep

Placed Obstructions
On Street Car Track
Tuesday night some persons placed
a pile of heavy planking that had been
used on Washington street in laying
the curbing, and part of which had
been placed as a guard to prevent the
use oi the street untii tho cement had
hardened, across the street car track
on South Commercial where it crosses
Washington. As it is only about live
minutes from tho time the car passes
south until it rotujns to this point tho
parties must have worked rapidly.
There was a heavy fog and the car
coming in was running at good Bpeed
when tho obstructions were seen by
the motorman who threw on tho brakes
but could not prevent the car striking
the obstructions with much force. For
tunately the car was not derailed, but
all its wheels were added to the
"flat" class. What object the persons
had is net even guessnble, unless it
was either a desiro t- deliberately in
jure the car eompai, 0r a practical
joke. Neither of these explanations
seems tenable, but if there are any
other, no one but tho guilty parties
know what it was. "
Take care of the pennies and tha
war taxes will take care of themselves.
The weather man may, with consider
able assurauco of hitting it right, fore
cast occasional rains for Portland nud
vicinity for tho next couple or months.
