MURDERERS LIFE Is
SAVED BY GOVERNOR.

Salem, July 17.-Governor West
this afternoon commuted to life i'm
prisonment the sentence of Jackson
f. Adams, sentenced to hang for the
murder of Clinton Chamberlain, at
Astoria, and the execution scheduled
for s o'clock tomorrow morning was
declared off.
Governor West wired to commute
the sentence from Ecola Beach,
where he is spending a few days with
his family.
Warden Lewison was handed the
Communication papers in the COVER
nor's office at $3.50 and left at once
for the penitentiary to notify Adams.
Governor West had prepared the pa
pers before leaving for Ecola Beach.
Salem, July 17.-That Jackson F..
Adams, sentenced to hang for the
murder of Clinton Chamberlain, at
Astoria, will be reprieved this af-
ternoon and the execution, scheduled
for eight o'clock tomorrow morning,
called off, was the probability this af-
ternoon. 1t is known that strong
pressure has been brought to bear
on Governor West and 1t is probable
that he will this afternoon commute
the sentence to life imprisonment
Adams was brought to the state pen
itentiary June IA, and he has been
hopeful of escaping the gallows. All
preparations for his execution have
been completed and, unless Governor
West wires from Ecola Beach re-
prieving Adams, the execution will
take place.
Adams shot Chamberlain to death.
In his defense, he claimed that
Chamberlain had invaded the sanct-
ity of his home.

Will Try to Get Better Freight
Rates.

That our merchants and business men
generally are determined to try to secure
lower freight rates, there is no doubt.
The committee appointed by the Com
mercial Club on Friday night last has
had several meetings and the plan to Sc
cure a reduction of the present rates has
committee will make its report at the
meeting of the Commercial Club tonight.
1t is hoped that each member of the
Club will be present and that every bus
mess man in the city who can do so will
be on hand. 1t is the contention of our
people that we are at least entitled to as
low freight rates as Winchester, only %
miles away. and especially so when such
a great amount of the commodities are
hauled through Richmond TO that city.
By comparison of figures below it will
be seen that we pay between 20 and rs
per cent. more than do Winchester peo-
pie on freight which is routed via Rich
mond. This injustice extends to all
classes, including coal, salt, lime and
other such commodities. II is more than
likely that Mr.. John McCord, the Leb-
anon attorney, who secured such big re-
auctions on freight for Lebanon, will be
engaged by our people and that he will
be able to accomplish much, we have
reason to believe by his success at his
home town, where some of the rates
have been cut in half. He said in his
speech before the Club here on Friday
night that on single carload Of salt
S22 had been saved the buyer, while on
a car of potatoes, S45 was saved. 1t is

Prof. Z. G. McDougle, of the Eastern
Normal faculty, was elected for the
fourth time president of the Association

he declined to again make the race for

leagues that he really could not serve
again, but they know good man when
they see one and Prof. McDougle was
elected against his protest. DIR. j. i.

THE ever-interesting history of Cleo

VIE ever-interesting history Of Cleo
Il patra, enacted by Helen Gardner
and n capable company, is told with five
reels of motion picture films at the Salt
Lake theater. beginning yesterday after
noon. The performance is continuous from
o clock in the afternoon until II at
night.
The efforts OF Miss Gardner to have the
production realistic are indeed successful.
Many OF lts outdoor scenes are played In
the open and the interiors are set faith
fully. The actress makes the character
conform with the notion OF the Egyptian
queen entertained by those familiar with
the habits and morals OF the people OF
Cleopatra's and Marc Antonys time. but
while costumes and behavior are Egyp-
tian, Vulgarity is conscientiously avoided.
actress could go farther without shocking
the modesty OF her audience than she
could by appearing before large crowds In
the flesh, but nothing lascivious Is shown.
One is given a. correct impression OF Cleo
patra's temperament. but It's effect as re-
CARDS impurity must only be inferred.
That the part OF the queen Is we'll acted
is needless TO say. The play Ia full OF
action and all the dramatic points are
made distinct and interesting. AS with
Shakespeare's and all other dramas deal
ing with this celebrated affaire du occur.
the playwright is almost entirely con-
rather than the concomltant Incidents In
Rome, for who cares what happens at
Antony's home when everybody Is eagerly
awaiting the tragic episode OF the asp,
said to be Il popular nBent OF death Tor
suicides In those days
