P. Day prepared to go before a
coroner's jury here today and seek
to be judicially absolved of the
killing of Lieutenant Paul Ward
Beck on the ground that he slew
in self defense while attempting
to keep inviolate the sancity of his
home.
Six men, sitting as the jury, will

of Day, wealthy attorney and oil
man, and from his wife their
sworn stories of the Staying. And
on their testimony and other evi-
dence brought out will be assigned

Day declared he will tell the
only story he knows--the true
facts-that he struck Beck down
in his home early last Tuesday
morning when he returned and
found the noted army man attack
ing his wife. In his heart there
was no murder, he will plead. The
revolver he used as a club in the
belief that he was defending his
life, when he warned Beck to quit
his home, fired accidentally as he
struck the blow, ending Beck's
life, is the testimony he will give
the jurors. The immediate provo

Beck drew back one hand that he
feared the army flyer might be
armed.
Supporting her husbands ac-

WEST TO GIVE
EXH|B|T|ONB BOUT
AT ARMY meet

BILLY" West, who is to fight
Tommy Gibbons contender for the
heavyweight championship, will
give an exhibition bout here next
Saturday night in connection with
the athletic events to be staged
at the armory between company B,
163d infantry, and company F of
the Oregon national guard.
West should be a drawing card
for all Salem fight fans and is the
only first string man to step in
side the local squared circle this
season. He is coming down at the
request of Captain D. d. Hail of B
company and will box Captain
Lake, an ex-officer of the Cana
dian army.
Acceptance of the challenge is
sued by company B was announced
this morning by Captain Paul
Hendricks of company F. Captain
Hail maintains in the challenge
that company F has refused to
meet his boys in personal combat,
being evidently aware of the su-
perior material in his company.
Captain Hendricks, however,
maintains that his company is
equally as good, If not better, than
company B and recalls the fact
that company B IS the only unit in
the Oregon national guard that
has slipped things over" the
Portland organization, by winning
from 1t a cup, which the locals
still have in their possession.
The events include a boxing or
wrestling match petwen the two
company commanders, events be-
tween members of the company of
similar nature; a dressing race;
and an exhibition drill in the aft
ernoon. The public is invited to
meet, more particulars of which

willamette WINS OVER
DENVER DEBATERS HERE

Willamette university defeated
the University of Denver, Colo,
last night in debate at Waller hall
chapel. The question was, RE
solved, That the union shop should
prevail in American industry" "
Willamette had the affirmative.
At no time during ne debate
was the score even close. The
Denver team failed in their three
constructive speeches to establish
a logical case. In their rebuttal,
however, they rallied considerably
but every point they advanced was
either undermined by affirmative
rebuttal or was turned by the af-
firmative into a point for the af-
firmative. The Willamette team
showed superior skill in every
speech.

ter on leaving the White House,
