Prosecuting Attorney Trying
the Case Against Mrs. SayIer
for the Murder of Her HuS-

Looks at the Matter Cold-BIOodediy

His Misfortune That He Has to

Her.
[uN1rrp rnnss rnAsnp wms.l ]

Watseka, Ills, March 26.--PrOse-
outor Pallissard who today is de-
manding the death penalty for Mrs.
J. B. Sayler, charged with the muir
der of her husband, was in his
youth the sweetheart of the woman
he seeks to convict.
"It is true" said Pallissard, that
the Sayler woman and were good
friends when we we're young. Nat
urally have tenderness for her
but have sworn to do my duty and
it is my misfortune that have to
forget my personal sympathy for
her."
Pallissard in earliest days es-
corted the girl to school and later to
dances. Rumor has II that they
were engaged to be married but this
was denied by Palllssard. He ad-
mitted however, that they were
Sweet on each other.
The revelation of the romance
that places Pallissard in the position
OF an accuser of his former sweet
heart. came in the course of an ex-
animation by Attorney Morris OF
the defense of Edward Meyer, the
prosecutions strongest witness.
Morris endeavored to get the wit
ness to contradict his story of the
prosecutors romance but failed, al
though he shouted questions rapidly
and shook his fist in the face OF the
witness.
Meyer became red with anger and
shouted replies in exasperations, but
was unshaken in his story.
One of the features Of the trial to-
day was the announcement that Col
da, the pretty daughter of Mrs.
Sayler, had sold her Pomeranian dog
and her ponies to procure funds for
her mothers defense from the
charge of Staying her father.
Although John Grunden, Mrs-
Sayer's father, and DR. William
Miller, are jointly accused of the
murder, interest in the case centers
in the prosecution of Mrs. Sayler.

SUBJECT LAST NIGHT WAS
"sHoOT OR GIVE UP THE GUN

There was a good crowd again last
evening at the big tabernacle on
Twelfth street The preponderance
of men in the crowds in attendance
is becoming more pronounced all the
time and is a characteristic feature
of the work that is being done IN
these great meetings. The singing
last night was fully up to the stan
dards hitherto set, and that is say
ing a good deal. Rev. W. H. Sell
leck offered the opening prayer. M.
Wegners solo, 'The Last Calf with
violin obligato, was fine. Mrs. Tay-
lor delighted the great audience
with the sweet tones of her 'cornet
as she played, "The Last Rose of
Summer" The work of the orches-
ira was good. Mr.. Taylor's sermon
was especially pointed and strong.
His subject was "Shoot or Give Up
the Gun" His text was Joshua "a:
.15.-"Chocse you this day whom ye
will serve" The principal thought
of his sermon was that Christianity
means manhood, character. That
the reason that many are not Chris
tians is that the yare not men
enough. not manly enough. That
every great achievement in the
world has been accomplished by
Christian manhood and wonNanhood.
1t takes decision to be a Christian,
but that indecision counts for the
devil A man must make a choice,
either shoot or give up the gun, but
that no once can force him to be-
come a Christian, he must do 1t by
an act of his own will.

pie responded to. the invitation to

new HOTEL
PROMISED
TO SALEM
A. f. RUTHERFORD, OF SEATTLE,
LEASES THE HUBBARD PROP
ERTY, AND WILL ERECT A 90
ROOM HOTEL THEREON.

A lease for the Mrs. Fannie Hub
bard property, on the corner of State
and High streets, was consummated
last evening, and it is the intention
of the lessee, A. e. Rutherford, of Sc
attle-at least so it is understood
to commence the construction of q
modern hotel on the corner, as soon
as the necessary arrangements can be
made.
The lease is for the period of 25
years, and it calls for the construction
on the property of modern building
of sufficient size to afford about 80
rooms for hotel purposes, besides the
ground floor, which, 1t is said, will be
divided into two stores and leased to
mercantile establishments. Mr. Ruth
erford will take possession of the
property April / but the tenants Will
have 80 days from that time In
which to vacate, after which it is the
intention OF the lessee to commence
the construction work as soon as 1t is
possible to do so.
Mr.. Rutherford expects to have the
building completed so that its doors
can be thrown open to the public by
September l. An effort was made to
interview him today with relation to
details of the construction of the
building, but it proved futile, as he
had departed for Portland,
While this matter is all in the fu-
ture, il should not be forgotten that
Salem is already being provided with
a first-class hotel by hustling Salem
men. "The Willamette" a very fine
and substantial building is being re-
modelled and made an up-to-date

Catina, Sicily, March 26.-The in
ternal fires of Mount Aetna subsidized
slightly today. the violence of the
eruption from / 2 craters decreased in
intensity and the flows of lava from
the riffs in the mountain began to
slacken in their progress southwark.
Scientists announce that the great
est danger is over for the present.
The volume of lava flow has in
creased slightly, but the sgreat de-
pressed area over which the head of
the snake-like mass IS passing has
caused a decrease in the rate of ad-
vance.
Scenes throughout the night on
the mountain and its vicinity were
awe-inspiring. The skies were lit by
flames from the open craters, while
cavernous rumblings and sharp deto-
nations broke the silence.
The moIon flood, CONCEALED and
rock-like by day, was alight with the
glow of its internal fire and lambent
flames played over the mass.
Occasionally the lava touched a
tree or the shrubbery of some desert

ed vineyard or garden, and the wood
and brush sprang into flames.
The flare of the torches carried by
detachments of soldiers added to the
beauty of the scenes. The soldiers
were active throughout the night
quenching fires, digging trenches to
head off the motion flow and in keep
ing hundreds of sight-seers from en-
tering the danger zone.
Danger to life is practically passed.
The greatest danger now is from the
recklessness of tourists, who are be-
sieging the authorities with demands
for passes through the lines, in order
to get a near vew of the eruption.
SO little fear was displayed by the
tourists that the troops were com
PEELED to establish a deadline, and
threaten to shoot any persons who
passed it without permission,
The presence of the troops prevent
ed many deaths of persons who ad-
vanced too near the craters. Many
persons were rescued by soldiers after
they had been overcome by sulphur
Gus fumes, or partially suffocated by
the ash-laden vapors.
Women tourists were particularly
reckless, and the soldiers had to use
force to prevent them from crossing
the danger zone, after a struggle with
the sentries.
The main flow of lava gradually
is widening and the edges are cool
ing. This has resulted in a check to
the flow and possibly may save many
vineyards and groves at the souCnern
base of the mountain from destruc-
ton.
The peasants believe that The
checking of the lava is the result of
their prayers and entroPjies Many
risked death to cast crlci.iAes ard
religious relics into the stream, and
they believe that their sacrifices
caused a slackening of the flow.
Religious professions were held to-
day in many churches. Mournful
throngs passed through the desolate
sections of the towns partially de-
stroyed by lava. Joyous professions

they have done as well as the Germans
or the Colonials. And there are three
reasons, irremoVable mes they seem,
why the Americans cannot be expected
to do any better. One is their very
natural desire to travel about as much
rs possible. The English student usu-
ally spends all his vacation studying
il is part Of the oxford system that al
most no studying gets done during
term time-while the American spends
at least half OF it in travel. Many
Americans so so far also as to take
their degree in two years, instead of
three, so the whole of the last summer
can be spent in economically seeing the
world. All this cuts in OF marks, of
course, though perhaps, not in the long
run. on the value of his work.
"A more cogent reason still is the
visit incentive placed on English t
dents to win the coveted 'firsts' that
denote scholarship. On them hang
positions in England OF the most en-
viable, quality-almost invariably they
are made men, The incentive to
Americans, as far as mere marks go, is
obviously not nearly of so intimate
and pressing a nature. OF this fact,
also, results are eloquent evidence.

In the very first place, II must be
remembered that the American Rhodes
scholar is rather an older man than the
average oxford youth who enters the
university straight from the public
schools of England. An American
rarely ombarks on a Rhodes scholar

college al home. Thus he is a bit re-

SCHOLARS
FAIL To BECOME
ANGL|C|zED
Correspondent Tells Of Some
of the Peculiar Phases Of Life
of American Students at OK
ford.

Past and present Rhodes scholars al
oxford from the University Of New
Mexico and the young men VINO nave
just been taking the examinations FOR
this year. will be much interested IN
the following rather English view OF
handicaps which make It difficult foi
the American boys to enter fully into
the University life at the venerable
British institution
a correspondent of the a Fran
cisco Chronicle says;
The present month is a memorable
one in the lives of half a hundred
young Americans. For il Is now that
the select company Of this years
Rhodes scholars are getting their first
taste of the venerable traditions and
the history laden atmosphere of state
~ oxford University. They form the
first group to arrive from America
since 1908. and their arrival has been
the signal for the acute revival of a
long standing controversy.
Ever since the unhappy breaks of
the verdant young Americans whose
embarrassing lot it was to constitute
the pioneer delegation in 1904. OK
onians have never ceased to deprecate
the wisdom of the philanthropic be
quest which let loose these 'barba-
.rians' within their exclusive gates.
This year brings another kink into
the discussion-the accusation of
American sn~obbishness. Talking with
some oxford men on this matter, the
impression is given of q campus fun
of cordial B%ritishers, arms outstretched
TO receive their American comrades,
while Rhodes scholars from the effetc
districts of Idaho and Dakota shrink
along the walls in shy alarm. The Co
lonial and German recipients of the
Rhodes bequest wander into these out
stretched arms and become part and
parcel OF this ELUSIVE oxford life. But
The Americans stand aloof and with
hold within themselves the American
energy and enterprise Cecil Rhodes
was so confident they would display.
ITO any one who knows either
Americans or oxford this view will APP
pear at once TO be very quantity unique.
And although both in print and on the
lips of Englishmen il has received a
great deal of publicity Of late, il is not
at all the view of the average oxford
man. Nevertheless. the criticisms di-
rected at the American Rhodes scholar,
and, over his head. at the system which
brings him TO oxford, have arrived
this year at some very cogent and sug-
gestive disclosures which very rarely
filter into the ears of the wise ad-
ministrators of the bequest in America.

English Methods Seem Strange.

And lastly, Americans are not at all
at home among English educational
methods. Classical and historical train
ing, to which English schoolboys have
paid heed since they could barely read
and write, jar very quickly on the
Americans sense of up-to-dateness.
The irresponsibility of university life
and its far removal at oxford from an
actual present tamper very radically
with the seriousness with which he
takes the work..
But, even with all these accidents of
circumstance counting against them,
the Americans nave been pre-eminently
of use to oxford. The American Club,
described by one harsh detractor as a
palace of provincialism. is not a
palace at all, but a garnet, where every
Saturday night Saturday Is absolutely
an off night at Oxford few Ameri-
cans gather to keep in touch with
things at home. Only half the evening
is spent in transatlantic matters; the
other half is devoted to comparing the
phase discussed with a similar phase
in British politics.
Tn bringing Americans together in g
common endeavor to understand OK
ford without wholly losing touch with
the land of their efforts past and flu
ture. the American Club is vouched for
by Mr.. Wiley. the personal head of the
Rhodes scholars, as an institution pre-
eminently contributed to oxford Here
more humor is spilled than over any
other equal area in oxford. and on that
account it il resortcd to almost as
numerously by Englishmen as by
Americans.
Last year, among other honors,
Americans held such extraordinarily
high offices as varsity president of the
Athletic Club and JUNIOR common room
president at Morton College, an office
equal TO senior class president at an
