rs DECLARED SANE

(By United Press Leased Wire.1
PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. AL
though local physicians, after
many hours OF examination, have
decided that Mrs. Kate Collins,
who shot and killed her husband,
DR.. Roy A. M. Collins, is now
sane, II developed today that the
unhappy woman frequently ex-
presses a wish to kill herself. The
lunacy commission which exam
ined Mrs. Collins reports that the
woman Is now entirely sane but
somewhat unstrung by her ex-
experiences. The report, how
ever, was prepared with carefully
and obvious refrain from COM
menting on the woman's mental
condition at the time she shot her
husband.
In view of the report of the
medical experts, the district attor-
ney's office today prepared TO
proceed with her arraignment on
charge of murder.

The small boy was inquisitive.
and as he stood at the corner of
Ninth and Commerce street short
ly after noon today, he fired
questions at his mother that
would stump hotel clerk. as
they waited for Pacific Traction

ooh, mai Who are those men

His mother blushed, said sh-,

has had consistent and aggres-

When LaFollette came to the
senate three and a half years ago
he came free POLITICALLY man.
He had no corporation strings on
him. He did not owe his job to
money influence or favor.
And when he was elected.
Washington said:
Pooh. What's the difference?
In the senate he'll be like a mouse
in a cat-pound. He'll be lucky II
they let him live"
Three years and six months
have glided by, and 1t now appears
that the comparison was not well
chosen. 1t was no mouse that was
introduced into this feline aggre-
cation. 1t was more as If a small
bull terrier had been thrust into
the cage.
A bulldog is long on fight. He
has staying powers. He does not
mind punishment: he is a faithful
guardian of what he is set to
watch-and he does not care for
cats.
The senatorial cats are strong,
wary. sharp-clawed, well-fed
crafty, graceful--and they dc
hate bulldogs. All cats would like
to kill all dogs; but their MUIR
derous instinct Is moderated by
fear. Even when 1t is a hundred
to one. they will not pitch in and
clean the dog up.
And that is the way It has been
with LaFollette and the senate
ever since his arrival.

Well, the cats got away with

CARTER HARRISON is
BOOSTED FOR PRESIDENT

Los Angeles, Cal.-Carter Henry
Harrison, four times Mayor of Chica-
go, has listened to the lure of a fifth
term, and is packing his belongings
in Pasadent to return to- the windy
city next week. His declaration, at
will not return to this section until I
am old and have rounded out my
career" has strong significance.
Private advices are that great
political welcome and demonstration
awaits the Temporarily deposed Demo-
cratic chieftian, and that the Harri-
son henchmen have already decided
In what ward he must live the next
few years. That selected is the 25th.
From the same sources comes the
Information that Harrison is to be put
in the field against any and every can
didate, and after his next Mayoralty
term is to be sent to congress. His
loyal followers do not stop at that, but
declare they will eventually see him
nominated for President
Harrison will not discuss politics di-
rectly, He admits that that is his bus
ness, and says he is going back to at
tend robustness.
