SHAVE MAY COST
MAN HIS LIFE

PORTLAND Ore, March 2S.-
Blood poisoning, following a shave
in downtown barber shop, may
cost Harry Berger, an electrician
residing at $50 Davis street, his life.
Berger is now at st. Vincent's hos
pital, where he was removed from
his home last Wednesday. He is
reported to be still in danger.
For two weeks or more Berger
has suffered from an abscess on
his lower lip. Monday he was
shaved in a barber shop. During
the operation the barber mad
yertently pricked the tiny abscess
with the point of a razor blade.
In a few hours Berger's face was
badly swollen, and DR.. E. II. Tuck
er was summoned. The contact of
the razor blade with the abscess
had caused an infection, which de-
veloped into blood poisoning. The
electrical worker was removed to
the hospital.

Mrs. Sayler and her 74-year-old
father are charged with having
aided and abetted the murder. The
state will prove that while her hus-
band lay dead for hours upon the
floor, his widow was busy caring
for the trifling wound inflicted up
on. his slayer, and for him she pre-
pared cup Of coffee, unmindful of
the fact that the father of her
young daughter lay murdered in
the next room.
She admits it, but adds: "'By'

A year ago Lucy Sayler was a
beautiful, care-free, pleasure-seek-
ing young matron. Today she ap-
pears a jail-worn, wrinkled and
broken woman. Then petted So

There was only platonic affec
ton between DR.. Miller and myself.
1t is wicked lie to say that such
a friendship between man and
woman is impossible. DR.. Miller,
as the friend of my husband. took
me out riding, hunting and fishing.
My husband often urged me to go
and frequently went with us, as
did DR.. Miller's wife, sometimes"
sobs Banker Sayler's widow. in her
dismal cell in the Watseka Jail.
"My friendship for Peter Weast
of Peoria was the same as that for
Dr. Miller. He took me to Europe
and we stayed there several
months. Part of the time was spent
at the Paris exposition. My hus-
band did not object"
Platonic friendship. Lax domes-
tic relations. A husband in the
background. Innocent or not, it all
reads into the first chapter of a
shuddering home tragedy-a trag-
edy that is also a lesson to human
men and and women everywhere.
In Crescent City, this county, are
two homes broken forever. A
husband done to death. A wife
and husband on trial for their
lives. An innocent girl who must
listen to the details regarding her
mother which gruelling prose
cution for murder will bring forth.
q Crescent City is not large place,
but it had it's best society,"" In it
moved the banker of the town,
Byron l.. Sayler. and his wife. DR..
VIM. r. Miller was the most prom
inent physician of Crescent City,
tall and handsome and married.
He was a social lion.
One starry night last July there
was a terrible commotion at the
bankers beautiful home. There
were loud voices, curses, shots, and
when morning came DR., Miller was
in the city Jail charged with the
murder of Byron Saylor, while Mrs.
Sayler occupied another cell, ac-
cuSed of being his accomplish.

SUGGESTS
CITY GARAGE

Bills for the care of the city's
three autos have grown SO rapidly
that Comptroller Farley suggests
that the council arrange to main
tain a garage of it's own. There
are now three automobiles in the
service of the city-one, for the
board of public works, one for the
health department and one for the
fire department. The city council
has ordered the purchase of an
other for the engineers and street
departments combined and a motor
cycle for the electrical inspector.
The addition of these machines
to the large bills for street car
tickets that are being paid makes
the city's transportation account
one that is inclined to startle he
average citizen when it is piled up
in one total The first auto pur-
chased has cost for repairs and
operation as high as 5000 per

Now they are both on trial for

transferred to DR.. Miller, the man
whom the husband had often en-.

HAS KING MENELIK AS
MANY LIVES AS A
CAT?
Cay United Press Leased Wire)

ROME, March 2S.-The death of
King Menelik is reported today in
dispatches from Abyssinia. The dis
patches state that the Ethiopian
king succumbed to illness yester-
day.
The death Of Menelik has been re-
ported falsely so many times that
the statement in today's dispatches
occasioned no surprise and little in
terest.
The news of Menelik's death has
not yet been confirmed. If the re-
port is true, death has removed a
great obstacle to Italian ambition in
Africa. If Menelik be dead, a clash
between followers of Prince Lidji
and the adherents of the Empress
Taitu probably will occur soon.
