POSTPONE TRACK MEET
ON ACCOUNT OF RAIN

The prelimenaries of the inter
scholastic track meet which were to
have been held this afternoon on the
athletic field were postponed until to-
morrow morning The rain of the
past few days left the track so soft
and muddy that the committee of the
faculty in charge of the meet decided
that better results could be obtained if
the first days events would start
promptly at o'clock tomorrow and
the afternoon program will commence
at 2:30.
Every team entered in the meet is

HAVING
SPLENDID SESSION

! The PalOuse county Baptists, in ses-
sion today had one of the most prof
table church meetings ever held in
Moscow. The program was carried out
J in detail as hitherto published in the
Daily Star-Mirror.
Wednesday Evening.
The prearranged program of the
| convention was followed with no ON
missions. The annual convention ad-
dress was delivered by Rev. Brown,
former pastor of the First Baptist
church at Lewiston, at present serving
the Colfax church. Mr.. Brown proved
himself an able pupil orator, always
carrying his audience with him.
He choose as his text around which
to build the evenings address, his
scripture, Being shod with the prep
aration of the Gospel of Peace" This
preparation is made in a great fac
tory and as we enter this factory we
read in the great sign board, God the
Father and the Son." Some large fac
tories are run by water power or
steam power or perhaps by electric
power, but this one is run by the power
Of the Spirit of God. The proprietors
tell us, Turn on the power and be
not afraid of the current" The power
is used to run the machinery of This
factory OF which the Holy Bible is the
main shaft; yes, even more, the whole
of the machinery. The machinery of
Demosthene's orations and of Aristo-
ties philosophy perish but the inspired
Word of God remain forever. Would
that we could never forget the daily
use of the Bible in our homes, it is
the machinery by which this "prepara-
ton Of the Gospel of Peace" is manu-
factured.
AS we walk through this factory we
learn that every workmen has place,
some large, some small, but all of
equal Importance. We recall some of
the worthiest of these workmen,
Moses, David, Peter, all these had
turned on the power and were produc-
ing that preparation which all human
ity has been using for over 1000 years,
the Gospel of Peace. This material
peace is securab1e for the home, for
the state, through the peace which it
brings to the individual soul.
Furthermore, this preparation is to
be worn like shoe, Being Shod." 1t
will fit every foot, the boy gains peace
it, the man wears it, the girl
and the woman find comfort and peace
i'll it. 1t is a product that is made for
universal use. India needs it, China
wants it, Japan is using it, Africa is
longing for it.

Davenport was author of 'Daven-
ports Cartoons" "The Bell of Silver
ton," and other short stories of Orc
gon and also of "The Dollar or the
Man."
A notable feature of Davenport's
life was his visit to Arabia where he
was granted permission by the sultan
to export 27 Arabian horses, said to
be the only genuine specimens in
America. While crossing the desert
he drew the only picture ever made
of the sultan. He was made a desert
brother to Akmut Haffez, the noted
Bedouin.

HUMPHREYS BROTHERS
ARE FOUND GUILTY

CORVALLIS, Ore, May George
and Charles Humphreys were found
guilty yesterday of the murder of Mrs.
Eliza Griffin by jury of the state cir
cult court The prisoners displayed
little emotion when the verdict was
rendered, though a few minutes later
as they were being led to Jail, Charles
appeared to be on the verge of col
lapse.
Judge w. S. McFadden, special coun-
sci for the state, finished his conclud-
ing argument before noon and the
court proceeded at once to deliver in
structions to the jury. The jury retired
at noon but did not begin to consider
the case until after lunch. at p. m.
Shortly after 6 o'clock they an
nounced that an greement had been
reached. 1t could not be ascertained
how many ballots were taken, but it
is believed that the only difference
of opinion was whether the evidence
warranted a first degree verdict
After the jury had been discharged
Judge Hamilton announced that he
would pronounce sentence Friday.
The conviction of the Humphreys
clears up what for many months was
a battling mystery. Mrs. Eliza Grif-
fifth, an elderly widow, was found dead
in small lake short distance from
her home near Philomath, on June 2,
1911,. Examination of the body in
dicated that she had been strangled to
death, and not drowned and theory

was, however, an absence of motive
! Investigation by the authorities OF
several weeks duration resulted in
the arrest of an itinerant dentist who
was known to have been in the vicinity
at the time of the murder and whose
subsequent eccentric actions were con-
sidered discriminating At his pre-
linlinary investigation, however, the
man convinced the court that he was
innocent of the crime and the charge
was dismissed.
No further developments took place
until about month ago, when, as
the result of investigation by Port
land detectives, George Humphreys
was arrested in a remote section of
Washington county
George Humphreys arrest was i'm
mediately followed by a confession in
which he assumed entire responsible
ity for the crime, declaring that it was
fol the purpose of robbery.
Chas Humphreys, his brother, when
told by the detectives that his brother
had confessed, dropped a remark, that
led them to suspect that he, too, was
implicated in the crime and he was
taken into custody.
Charles was as quick to confess as
his brother had been. His confessioO
substantiated in the main that made
by George, but it differed in that
Charles assigned a revolving motive
for the crime instead of robbery and
declared that he was equally guilty
with George.
