WARREN BROUGHT BACK
SUPPOSED MURDERER OF WILLIAM
KIRK IX PORTLAND.
Detectives Day and Ford Anve
"With Him rrom Savnnnah, Where
He Wai Arrested.
&-
Last evening Detectives Joe Day and
Henry Ford returned from Savannah,
Ga., with James L. Warron, the missing
boatswain, accused of the murder of
William Kirk, mate of the Clarence S.
Bement, on the evening of January 23.
The party arrived on the belated O. R. &
N. train, tired and travel-stained, and
all glad that the seven days' trip was
over, .and the accused especially, at be
ing relieved of the heavy Oregon boot
that he had worn during the Journey.
Warren is a young-looking man, 25
years old, short in statue, with a hcaT
Bandy mustache, and clear gray eyes.
When brought into the station last even
ing he was restless and nervous, and
seemed on the point of breaking down.
He has a neat, trim appearance, his
features are clear cut, and there is no
look of brutality in his face. During the
entire trip Warren was uncommunicative,
and at no point did he give away any
damaging information that could be used
against him in the trial. In no way has
he altered his appearance, and in no
words admitted his guilt. When greeted
by detectives and police officers, whom
he had met in Portland previously, he
said: "Ob, I have been here before. I
will admit that." But more he refused
to say until he had consulted an attorney.
He was frank In stating to the detec
tives that he had been on the Bement
with Kirk, and that he had left Port
land for San Francisco by train, after
the murder had taken place. At one
time in Savannah Warren seemed to be
on the point of confessing, and called for
a priest. But the only object he seemed
to have was to effect a reconciliation
with the wife whom he had deserted. The
fact that he admits leaving Portland by
train is regarded as significant, as be
fore the time of the murder he is known
to have been without funds.
On June 23, six months after the mur
der to a day, Warren was arrested in
Savannah, Ga., where the police authori
ties were certain he would eventually
turn up, as there was the home of the
wife whom he had deserted in Seattle,
and to which she had returned.
On July 4 Detective Ford arrived In Sa
vannah with a complete identification of
W,arren, and on the 5th Detective Day
reached Atlanta with the requisition pa
pers. Governor Candler of Georgia gave
Day the additional papers necessary, and
last Thursday evening Superintendent
Screven, of the Savannah Police Depart
ment, turned over Warren to them, and
the homeward Journey was begun. Not
a hitch occurred on the entire trip, and
the detectives were not bothered by any
habeas corous proceedings in Savannah.
Warren made no attempt to escape, and
the trip back was uneventful, no delays
of any consequence occurring. The party
came home by way of St. Louis, Kansas
City and Denver.
Both Detectives Tay and Ford com
mented upon the oppressive heat of the
East and South, and also expressed a
great appreciation of their treatment and
reception by the police authorities In ev
ery city whero they made a stop. They
were both enthusiastic over the excellent
police force under Chief Campbell, of St.
Louis, and the corps of detectives under
Chief of Detectives Esmond, whose work
they had an opportunity of observing the
days they were In St. Louis, when the
street-car strike was at its height.
CAUGHT A BLACK BASS.
Eastern Game Fish Captured In the
"Willamette.
A genuine small-mouthed black bass,
about 19 inches In length and weighing
over four pounds, was captured by M.
A, Magone. of Oregon City, in a shad net
Tuesday morning and sent to this city
for identification. The sight of this fine
fish created quite a sensation among
sportsmen, especially those who have
fished for black bass In the East In by
gone years. They pronounced It a beauty,
and It was a fine, firm, well-fed fish. It
Is supposed to be a descendant of ono of
few young bass planted In the Willam
ette some years ago by E. W. Bingham,
and is considered to settle the fact that
the small-mouthed black bass has ob
tained a footing in the Willamette and
Is here to stay.
A black bass of the big-mouthed var
iety was caught at the cascades of the
Columbia a year or two ago by Joseph
Paquet, and there are known to be black
bass in a lake or pond near Indepen
dence, and not long ago several lots of
black bass were sent from Spokane to the
market here, but this Is the first black
bass ever known to be caught in the
Willamette. None of these were more
than half as big as the one caught by
Mr. Magone, and while It Is on record
that black bass of six and very rarely
eight pounds have been caught, many
persons have fished for them for years
without ever having a four-pound one.
It Is evident that there must be many
smaller ones in the Willamette, and the
fact that the first one caught was taken
in a net is due to the fact that no one
has tried fishing for black bass here.
The black bass Is greatly esteemed In
the East, both for its fine qualities as a
table fish and for Its gamy nature, In

which It is said to surpass tho trout.
Oregonlans accustomed to trout fishing
are not likely to admit the superiority
of the black bass In either of these par
ticulars. It cannot surpass the trout in
quality, but may make a longer and
fiercer fight, as it is a "horny-handed,"
hard-headed, and powerfully-built fish. It
bears no comparison to the trout In point
of beauty, and is a rough customer to
handle. It has literally a mouthful of
spines as sharp as needles, and some of
the other fins are also furnished with
spines and scaling, and dressing one is
no Joke.
The head Is bony and hard enough to
batter a stone wall, and Oregon fisher
men will need to take lessons In how to
get them off the hook. However, as the
bass Is a bold biter and a hard fighter,
and excellent eating, it will be a welcome
addition to the game fishes of Oregon.
NEW DINERS ARRIVE.
O. It, fc N. Cars Are Finest Yet Seen.
In This Section.
Two new dining-cars for the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company came in
last night from tho Pullman Company's
car works. These cars are identical, so
a description of one suffices for all, but as
a preface it can bo said that the OR. &.
N. has now tho finest diners In this sec
tion, and the Pullman factor' has not
turned out better work. The exterior Is
of the standard Brewster green used by
the Harriman roads, tho ornamentation
and lettering being In gold leaf. The I
name of the road is along the top, and
"Dining Car" in tho center panel. The
front nd has steps on one side only, thus
providing for an entrance to the hallway,
on the opposite side, leading around tho
kitchen into the dining-room, a new fea
ture. The car is 70 feet long over sills
and nine feet nine Inches wide. Tho spe
cial equipment consists of Pullman stand
ard six-wheel trucks, Page 36-inch wheels,
Pullman standard framing with cantilever
trusses, wide vestibules and steel antl
telescoping devices and platforms. Em
pire decks. New York airbrakes, National
drawbars and Pintsch light are also fea
tures. The Interior finish is rarely beautiful,
being of Mexican mahogany in the large
dining-room and quarter-sawed oak in the
kitchen. The color scheme in the celling
shows a dark green tint, the decoration
laid with gold, and is of fancy Grecian
ornamentation. The car seats 80. but
there are no stationary seats, the chairs
being upholstered In green leather. Five
tables seat four each, and five two each.
Five handsome gas lamps are hung from
the ceiling. The carpet is of a dark green
la Columbia Wilton over a floor of mono
lith. The windows have curtains with
dark green fringed valances. The por
tieres are of green velour with gimp edg
ing. The room has nine niches for flow
ers and 40 square feet of mirrors. Oval
windows and Gothics set off the car.
The kitchen, pantry, wine locker and
all other features are of the very latest
pattern, while the linen, silver, cut glass
and cutlery are Pullman standards. The
car has one conductor, two cooks and
four waiters, and can serve several hun
dred meals a day. The Pullman Company
will operate them, and they will be placed
In service at once.
RED-CAPPED PORTERS.
Great Help to Passengers at Union
Depot.
The Terminal Company, of this city,
has Introduced the red caps as a portion
of the uniform of the porters employed
about the Grand Central Station, and
Its adoption -appears to give both the
traveling public and the company consid
erable satisfaction, while the porters find
less trouble In introducing themselves to
strangers. Depot porters are employed to
asslBt passengers requiring help. In the
hurry and bustle at train time. Some
times women in charge of several small
children and loaded down with extra
pieces of baggage are at a loss -which
way to turn, while the crowds crush
through the gates and the locomotive
bells are clanging. It is then the porter
with the red cap appears and with a
cheery. "Allow me, madam," grabs a lot
of bundles and leads the way to the
proper car. or to the waiting-room, as
the case may be. while the grateful
woman, relieved of some of her responsi
bilities and load, gladly follows with the
children.
Sometimes a drummer rushes to the
station just as the conductor signals the
engineer "All aboard," and if It -were
not for the 'man "with the red cap, the
knight of the grip -would get left. But
the porter rushes up, grabs an extra
satchel and rapidly leads the way to the
step of the car Just moving off. If the
drummer finds time to fish out a dime in
recognition of the service, the porter
does not object, although he is paid
by his employers for rendering Just Buch
assistance.
Ho is not allowed, however, to be too,
solicitous in regard to "tips," and sev
eral porters have been discharged within
the past few years who had too ope.n
ly made known their desire for silver "on
these occasions.
The red cap innovation has been In
use for several years on the New York
Central, having been introduced by Gen
eral Agent Daniels, and Its use has grad
ually extended westward, until now all
the most important union stations in the
country have adorned the porters with
them. That tho traveling public of the
Northwest take kindly tto them can be
proven at any train time during the day
or night at Portland Grand Central Sta
tion. The red cap, like the red flag,
can be seen a good way off, and travel-

DISCUSSED THE TEACHERS.
Bouquet Thrown nt Portland Pub

Since vacation, it is lonely at tho rooms
of the Public School Department in tho
City HalL Superintendent Rlgler has- gone
away, the teachers have ceassa rrom
troubling, and Clerk Allen Is enjoying a
rest and at tho same time getting a lot
of work done. The schools are getting in
their Winter's supply of -wood and tha
has to be looked after, and the Board
holds occasional meetings and when they
feel good-natured, order the payment of
a lot of bills, which the holders would
havo liked to see the money for long
ago.
The desk of the chairman of the Board
is decorated with beautiful bouquets,
placed there In honor of a member who
was to have acted as chairman at the
last meeting in the absence of the regular
chairman, but unfortunately the sub
stitute was sick and did not come and
another took the chair, and the flowers
are wasting tlwir sweetness on the desert
air, so to speak.
The hard-worked teachers, now away on
their well-earned vacations, were being
talked about In the Board room yester
day, and they should have felt their ears
burning. If the members had said to their
faces what was said about them in their
absence, they would better underhand
the estimation in which they are held.
It was agreed by all present that Port

WANT A MOUNTAIN PATH
PORTZiAXD WHEELME7T DISCUSSING
A GRAND PROJECT.
Bicycle "War Toward Mount Hood,
to Colombia. River Gorge and
Ball Rnn Reserve.
A pathway to & natural park, greater
and grander than man ever made or ever
will make, and only a short distance from
Portland's doors, is the ambitious pro
ject several well-known men have been
discussing. The mountain will not come
to Portland, nor can Portland well be
taken to Hood, but with the swift wheel
at man's service, tho intervening space
is soon sped over. If there is a good path.
But Mount Hood Is quite distant. There
aro wonderful natural scenes much near
er, and it is more directly at these that
the plans now vaguely discussed are
aimed.
A bicycle path through the great for
ests of the reserve, winding around the
ridges, ono branch deflecting and com
ing out on the brink of Columbia's great
gorge, where the beautiful falls aro at
the feet, and the highty river is seen
rushing through its rocky bed, and the
other leading on around the wonders of
the Bull Run reservation, past Bull Run
Lake, and up to the great northern slopes
of Hood, where there are caprices of na
ture and virgin forests ;jheyond the reach
of mills and industry, is the project. This
seems rather visionary, but there are men
in Portland -who believe such a path
-would be one of the most -widely adver
tised features of Oregon attractions and
could be constructed for a very moderate
! sum of money.

f?ne much beyond the Sandy, and from
that point the wheelmen must ake the
dusty, heavy road. Iarch Mountain is
only about 20 miles distant. There some
of the finest forests of this country are
still to be found. It was about there that
tho great treeB recently described in The
Orogonlan were seen. Wherever the
loggers have not decimated the forest
and left the once uniform and imposing
icene a sort of wreck, there are still
splendid forests. Prom figures compiled
ty men who hav been over much of the
ground and estimates based on these, it
is stated that a bicycle path can be con
structed over Larch Mountain on a very
easy grade, at a reasonable cost. The
branch intended to come out on tho Co
lumbia somewhere above Multnomah
Falls would cost more, as it would have
to do much winding around ridges. Con
struction from there around through the
most Interesting portions of the Bull Run
reservation Is said to present few diffi
culties. These ideas have been originated by
Colonel L. I. Hawkins and a few of the
more enthusiastic wheelmen. These men
argue that a fine path between Portland
and this district would bring close to
Portland a great natural park, that al
ready is known throughout tho country
for picturesque grandour. Tourists would
then bo enabled to pay brief visits to
these attractive points, and the residents
of Portland wouldhave one of the finest
mountain districts conceivable a very
short ride from their homes. The ride
Itself would be pleasant, becauso of the
good path, shady reaches and easy grade.
The latter feature Is the one most empha
sized. It such a thing were ever attempt
ed, which these wheelmen believe'will be
at -no distant date, it would be essential
to have a competent engineer survey the
entire route. giving best grades and views.
Wheelmen need not fear the project hint
ed at here Is intended to ravish the pres
ent bicycle tax fund, for the men inter
ested appreciate that a special fund
would have to be provided, which they
estimate would not "have to be greater
than $10,000 at the outside.

party of women could have" In tho mount
ains. When asked why -women could not
find as much enjoyment in the mountains
as men, he said:
"Why, they take no guns, no fishing
tackle, no tobacco and no whisky, and
how on earth can they enjoy themselves?
There are bears and panthers to be de
fended against, birds and deer to be shot,
fish to be caught and snakes, the bile of

And then, after a hard day's work and
a hearty supper, what is so comforting as
a pipe of good tobacco? I tell you, life
in the mountains without guns, fishing

living."
It is to be hoped that when the party
of women In question return they -will
furnish information in regard to their life
In the mountains and how they enjoyed
themselves. If they had anything In the
nature of enjoyment.
INCREASING ITS PLANT.
Output of
Pendleton
Doubled.
Mills to B
W. 8. Byers, the Pendleton flouring
mill man. Is in Portland for the purpose
of purchasing $10,000 worth of additional
machinery for his plant. When seen at
the Perkins yesterday he said his mills
have been busy turning out 500 barrels
of flour every day for some time, but
he desires to Increase the output to
1000 barrels.
He Is already engaged in grinding wheat
threshed in 1900, he said, and he finds
the grain very superior to that of last
year, as It Is plump and has not been
Injured by untimely showers, as was
the crop of 1899. This year's wheat makes
more flour to the bushel, there being
less waste in the shape of middlings
and material fit only for feed.
He is paying about 50 cents per bushel
for the new crop, as he finds farmers
unwilling to part with it for less. He
thinks ho could buy It cheaper this Fall
should Bryan be elected, but ho cannot
afford to wait and take chances.
"If the Democrats should win," he said,
"everything will get cheap again, and we
will have good times, as no one will
have anything to do, and people won't
havo any money to buy with."
He said the harvest thl3 year would
be tremendous, but he had no misgiv
ings about tho scarcity of hands to take
care of it.
"If it was in the old times, when
the farmer had to cut his grain with
a cradle or reaping hook," he said, "thero
might be some cause for uneasiness, but
In these days of combined harvesters, a
crew of men can enter a 70-acre field
In the morning and the sacks of wheat
will be strewn In bunches all over It by
night. There are a good many men
around Pendleton, and I look for the
harvest, big as It is, to be gathered
quickly."
FROM ACROSS THE CONTINENT
Berkshire Piss Come to Portland
From Hood Farm, Lowell, Mass.
A royal family of Berkshire pigs from
the famous herd of Hood Farm, Lowell,
Mass., recently arrived In Portland, hav
ing made the long trip without accident
of any kind. They were purchased by
A. T. Webb, who is greatly pleased with
them. They consisted of a boar and
four sows, and all are of rich breeding.
The boar Is a son of the famous Duke
IH, of Hood Farm, never beaten in the
show ring, and Wantage Poetess B of
H. F., a daughter of the Imported sow
Wantage Poetess B. Two of the sows
are by Highclere King, of H. F., and
from Lady Leo XVII, and two are by
Lord Curzon XVX of H. F., and Duchess
XX
The Hood Farm herd of Berkshlres con
tains the best imported and domestic
strains of blood and there is a large de
mand for young stock with which to
form herds of better quality than the or
dinary. Mr. C. I. Hood, the proprietor
of Hood Farm, whose name has long been
a household word by Its connection with
the great medicine, "Hood's Sarsaparll
la," has just been making a visit to Eng
land, and It is probable that as a result
there will be still further Importations of
Berkshlres for the enrichment of his
herd. Hood Farm, It may be remembered,
is also the home of the famous Jersey
cows, Brown Bessie and Merry Maiden,
who won the greatest prizes In the
World's fair testa at Chicago In 1S93.

the ofSce of president passing from one
union membership to the other. Mr. York
was from the Musicians Union. Vice
President Duke is from the Clgarmakers'

be one of tho candidates for the office
of president. Two others mentioned are
J. C. Bushman, president of the Mlllwork

ing the printers. While selection of
president is a work of considerable In
terest, the power of the office is not suf

sought, and not much Is heard of candi
dates. The only other office of any significance
in the assembly is that of secretary,
which is now filled by John Oliver, of the
Typographical Union. Mr. Oliver will
not permit his name to be submitted for

NO SHERIFF'S FEES ALLOWED
Connty Commissioners So Instruct
the Coroner.
County Auditor Pope, under Instructions
from tho County Commissioners returned
to Coroner Rand his bill for the month
of June amounting to $250, with an or
der that the Coroner correct the bill
to conform to the opinion as to the fees
that should be charged, as expressed by
District Attorney Chamberlain In his let
ter. This, roughly estimating, will cut the
bill down one-half.
Auditor Pope confirms the statement of
Coroner Band that i he has not included
In his fee bills for the past six months,
a certain class of fees. Such fees were
cut out of the bills six months ago md
since havo not been charged by the Coro
ner, but were previously always charged
by Coronera
The June bill was made up as It was
in order to secure a ruling on the ques
tion by tho Board of County Commis
sioners; and based upon the advice of the
District Attorney the decision Is adverse
to the Coroner. If the latter accepts It as
final he will In future receive no fees for
summoning witnesses and Jurors and such
work as can be performed by the Sheriff.
The point la that the Sheriff and Deputy
Sheriffs all receive a stipulated salary and
can perform this work without extra cost
to the county. The Coroner states that
he has served the papera since the fees
were disallowed and therefore has re
ceived nothing for it.
The Coroner can now either receive as
final the determination of the County
Oommlsisonem or appeal to the courts.
He says that he does not desire to do
the latter, and he will doubtless see to
It that the Sheriff and his deputies In
future serve all summons and subpenas
and perform all services In connection
with Coroner's Inquests which the Sher
iff's office is capable of doing.
The fees of the Coroner have not been
largo. For the year ending July 1, in
cluding this disputed bill, they amount
to $1700. The expense of Jurors for the
fame time has been about J10CO, and wit
nesses $1250. The item, "taking bodies
to the morgue," has cost the county for
the past five months $175, or at the rate
of about $400 per year.
Modern Cave o Adnllam.
PORTLAND. July 11. (To the Editor.)
History repeats itself, and there is no
new thing under the sun. A student of
ancient history; reading tho proceedings
of the ringed, streaked, speckled and
muckledun-colored conventions lately held
in Kansas City, Is reminded of a" very
ancient affair in which persons of a simi
lar character with those of the late con
ventions gathered themselves together for
a similar purpose.
We read In a very ancient book of a
young man by name of David, a very am
bitious and aggressive man, who did not
hit It off well with his King and the
powers that were, and was so unfortunate
as to always bo fornlst the government
and strongly prejudiced against lawful au
thority. It is not certain that we have
an entirely correct and unprejudiced ac
count of David's difficulties, for he final
ly came out on top, became an imperial
ist, put to death all the members of the
formet reigning family, and allowed only
such version of affairs reported for pos

terity as would show most favorably for
him. But it is evident that King Saul
thought him a dangerous man, and made
the country so hot for him that ho
skipped out and took refuge in the cave
of AduIIam, and there organized a band
of robbers and preyed upon the surround
ing country. And we read that "every
ono was In distress, and every one that
had a creditor, and every one that was
discontented and bitter of soul, gathered
themselves unto him, and he became a
captain over them." How prophetic of
this later time! The same discontented
and Incongruous elements met for tha
same selfish purpose spoils. And those
ancients, too, probably resolved against
militarism and Imperialism, against rul
ing by injunction, and against everything i
that could stand In the way of the reck-'
less and lawless desires of their riotous i
friends and supporters. We can almost i
Imagine some ancient Croker and Van (
Wyck among them, with pockets (If they
had any) stuffed with ancient ice trust
bonds, virtuously resolving "that all trusts
were pernicious, and pledging themselves
to legislation against them.
It Is useless to pursue tho parallel far
ther, but It Is quite evident that not
withstanding our boasted progress, tho
modern Cave of AduIIam has scarcely a
patentable Improvement over that of the
ancient time. But we havo reason to
hope that the sturdy moral and business
sense of the people will continue to re
fuse such men the control of the Gov
ernment of our greatand expanding coun
try. HISTORICUS.
Fainted in the Pnlplt.
Walla Walla Union. .
A dramatic sceno was occasioned last
Sunday by the fainting of Rev. Andreas
Bard, while occupying the pulpit of St.
Paul's Episcopal Church during the
morning service. Mr. Bard, who is a
chronic sufferer from heart trouble, was
momentarily afflicted with heart failure,
and fell like one dead. He was reading
the litany at the time. Members of tha
choir carried him quickly Into the vestry
of the church and summoned medical aid;
but there was no need of professional as
sistance, as the patient speedily recov
ered, and was soon able to be removed
to his residence. No services were held
Sunday evening, but Mr. Bard resumed
his pastoral duties yesterday.
Shot An Eagle.
Clarence Kellogg recently shot a flna
largo bald eagle from the deck of tho
steamer Kellogg, on Lewis River. Ha
has been engaged in mounting the eagle,
and has done the work with an artistic
hand. When a boy Mr. Kellogg acquired
much experience as a taxidermist. Tha
eagle he has mounted Is seven feet and
one inch from tip to tip, and is a hand
some specimen of tho eagle family. Mr.
Kellogg tried a good many shots at
eagles on Lewis River, until he shot this
one through both wings. Mr. Kellogg la
an engineer, but he Is also an expert
taxidermist, as his work shows.
