I i wm aw '- 9 nr ? 7TP?St " f -!? 4'! 10 THE MOBNING OBEGOMAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1901, I N0L1GTO. MURDER Assassin of James Morrow Still at Large. SMALL CHANCE OF DISCOVERY Slight Evidence to Support Theory ofc Vindictive Jealousy Conntr Pourt Offers Reward ot $500 The Faveral. , The detectives and policemen spent an other futile day yesterday seeking tor clewe 'to: the., identity of. the murderer ot Jam6s B "Mtfrxow. No arrests have been znadouand none are contemplated. As far as Any trace of the assassin is concerned he may as well -have vanished Into thin air after firing the fatal bullet. After the sounds of the shot and the retreating footsteps had died out in the neighborhood not the slightest inkling as to the course of the escaping murderer or the faintest suspicion as to his whereabouts has come to light. While the detectives. Day and Welncr and,Snow and Kerrigan, who have been struggling to fathom the mystery, have been dogged In following up every avenue that mlqht lead to some discov ery, nothing valuable has come to reward thorn. The Morrow murder, from present Indications, seems destined to go down on the list of unsolved my6terles. tVlth a start of four hours before the murder was even discovered, and the lapse of another hour before detectives arrived ontho scene, the murderer has everything in his iavor to elude capture. Turning up Stephens street, in the dark, rainy night, he was heard to run for several blocks. Seeing no pursuers, the murderer slowed down to a walk and to a considera tion of his chances of escape. "Wandering on the East Side, perhaps even past the DOllcernen Nsearchlng for the place from which the shot had been fired, he returned to his accustomed abode or made his way lefcurely out of the city, troubled only by his blood-stained conscience. Clews he left none, save the mushroom bullet In the skull of the boy. Bain destroyed his tracks, even 11 they could have been fol lowed In the maze of East Side streets. No new theories were developed as the result of yesterday's Investigation. The detectives still pursued their search for clews that would bear out the theory of a personal enemy who had committed the deed through motives of jealousy. Xo Li tcli t on tlie Mystery. ""We are still gathering every scrap of evidence that would tend to throw light " upon the murder," said Chief of Police "McLauchlan. "We have made no new theories, and have abandoned none of those we "have, including the one of per sonal jealousy. Anything that will lead to the discovery of the murderer is being carefully sifted out and searched for. No arrests have been made, and none are contemplated." Uke the assassin, the theory of per sonal jealousy Is fast vanishing. Not & scrap of evidence has been found ' that would bear cut this theory. There has been found no enemy that the boy had. There were no rivals for the affections of Mies Xillah Ulldge, his fiancee. The police have worked hard on this theory, but "have accomplished nothing. This theory -would be the easiest to follow, and the problem for the police would be simpler than if the hold-up hypothesis Is adopted. "Find the man with a motive, trace his xnovoments, and incriminating evidence might be found. In this case the most difficult thing has been to find a man who bore James Morrow the slightest 111 will. "When this effort has failed it stands to reason that the theory upon which the jsearch Is based also falls to the ground. Looks Like a Hold-Up. Among those whose official position has placed them In possession of all the facts known, the belief Is crystallizing that the murder was the result of a hold-up. "I believe that the murder was com mitted by a highwayman," said District Attorney Chamberlain last evening. "In the first place, there has not been discov ered any evidence that would bear out the theory of personal jealousy. That theory, therefore, seems to fall to the ground, although, of course, the detectives working on the case have not entirely relinquished It as a hypothesis. I believe the murder happened In some such -way as this: James Morrow, when walking home, was met by a highwayman. "When he was told to throw up his hands he etarted to do so, and In that act his money fell out of his right hand. At this action the highwayman, supposing that he was drawing a pistol, or thinking that he was making a step at resistance, became alarmed and flred. The highwayman flred before the boy could take his left band from his pocket I doiot believe that the shot was flred accidentally. It must have been the result of a movement at resist ance or the fear that this would be done." A "Victim of Nervousness. Coroner D. H. Rand has advanced the theory that the shot was fired accident ally by a highwayman. "I believe," said he, "that the murder was committed In some such way as this: The highwayman stepped in front of Morrow with his de mand, Throw up your hands!' Before Morrow could comply, I believe that the gun was -accidentally discharged, probably through the nervousness of the amateur holdrup man. I see nothing In the theory of personal jealousy. There have been brought to light no facts to support this theory. The boy had no rival and no ene mies. The jealousy theory Is sensational and naturally the first that would suggest Itself In a shallow view of the case." Detective Joe Day is still working on the personal enemy theory. "I can see no strong evidence for the highwayman theory," said he. "-Highwaymen do not murder men In order to get their money. Tho attitude and posture of the boy In dicate that he was ehot before he could even make a step or motion at defense. A highwayman would not do this. Even If the boy had taken a step at defense, the odds In favor of the man with the pistol would be too great to overcome. Some one must have been deliberately lying in wait for tho boy." FUNERAL OF JAMES B. MORROW. It "Will Be Held at 12:30 From the Home of His Parents. The funeral of James B. Morrow will be held tomorrow at 12:S0 P. M. from the home of his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Morrow, corner of East Seventh and East Xlncoln streets Rev. Alfred Thompson, of the Trinity Methodist Church, will have charge of the services. Greenwood cemetery will be the place of interment. The body was removed to the family residence yesterday. Many friends called to express their sympathy with the sor rowing relatives; "While there Is division pf opinion on the East Side, there is a ,-widQspread belief that the young man was accidentally killed, while being held up fpyriesjevbus thugs. $000 REWARD OFFERED. County Commissioners Take Action In the Morrow Murder Case. Judge Cake and County Commissioner Bhowers yesterday decided to offer a re ward of 5500 for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who killed James Morrow. An order was also made for a reward of 525 for the arrest and convic tion) of persons committing the crime of burglary or robbery. Commissioner Mack Is, absent from the city, .and therefore Byname does not appear in the orders. Commissioner Showers and Judge Cake J determined that something must be done to stimulate the capture of the footpads who have been robblnlg and shooting down citizens. The murder of Fortner, an employe of the City & Suburban Railway Company; Dickel, the saloon-keeper, and the rob bery of the "Western Lumber Company, In which no arrests were made, were re called. The statute empowers the County Court to offer certain rewards, and the Police Commissioners have no such au thority. The orders made are as follows: Whereas, James Morrow died on November 2L 1&0L under circumstances Indicating that h had been murdered. It la hereby ordered. That the County o Multnomah often a reward of 5500 to the per son or persons securing the arrest and convic tion of the person or persons guilty of coni mittlnj the crime of killing said James Mor row. Whereas, There have been numerous acts of burglary and robbery committed within the County of Multnomah, It is hereby ordered. That the County of Multnomah oilers a reward ot 523 to any per son or persons securing the arrest and convic tion of any person or persons guilty of committing- the. crime of burglary or the crime of robbery, as set forth and denned in sections 174, 1741, 175S, 1759, 17G0. 1761 and 1762 of the code of Oregon. This order to take effect from this date and to continue in force until the 1st day of March, 1902, or until the further order of this court. INJUNCTION REFUSED. Chicago Street Rnllvrays Will Be Assessed on Their Capltnl Stock. SPRINGFIELD, 111, Nov. 22. The ap plication of the Chicago Union Traction Company and the Consolidated Traction Company for an Injunction restraining tne State Board of Equalization from assess ing the capital stock of those companies for 1900 was denied this afternoon by Judges Grosscup and Humphrey in .the United States Circuit Court The tempo rary injunction Issued by Judge Grosscup in Chicago on Tuesday was dissolved. Immediately after the decision was an nounced, assessments aggregating Jio.CW, 000 and Involving over 51,000,000 In 1900 taxes' were made by the Board of Equalization as the fair value of the capital stock of the traction, companies over and above the assessment on their tangible prop erty. The 575,000,000 valuation took the place of 5300,000 valuation made last year as representing the fair cash value of the property assessed. The Teachers Federa tion estimate was 5125,000,000. No written opinion in the case was filed. Judge Grosscup, in discussing the method to be followed in determining the value of capital stock for purposes of tax ation, said that it would be grossly unfair to base the assessment upon the value quoted on the stock exchange. These quotations were frequently, if not gener ally, determined by circumstances quite distinct from the real value of the stocks in question. It was the decision of the Supreme Court of Illinois in the fran chise tax case recently decided, he said, that these prices merely must be taken "Into consideration." It still remained for the equalization board to exercise its Judgment in determining the real value of capital stock for purposes of taxation. "If It transpires," said Judge Grosscup, "that the Board of Equalization attempts to certify an assessed value that in its effect would be a fraud upon any tax payer, the court still remains topen to the Injured taxpayer. The board should be just, as the state wishes to be, irrespec tive of the past and without partiality, and this we will assume until the con trary appears. The motidn for prelimin ary injunction will be overruled and the temporary restraining order dissolved." Effect on the Stock Market. CHICAGO. Nov. 22. The refusal to grant an Injunction caused heavy selling of the stocks affected on the stock ex change. Union Traction common de clined 1 points, while the preferred de clined V&. Stock of the North Chicago Company fell 3& points. 'REMOVED THE RECORDER. Governor Stone Makes a Change in Pittsburg's Administration. HARRISBURG. Pa Nov. 22. Governor Stone has removed Recorder A. M. Brown, of Pittsburg, and appointed in his place ex-Director of Public Safety J. O. Brown. The second-cUss city charter bill, passed by the last Legislature, and known as the "Pittsburg Ripper bill," struck out the office of Mayor and gave the Governor power to appoint a Recorder, who would be chief executive officer of the city. The Governor then, appointed A. M. Brown to the office. In a long statement addressed to "The People of iPttsburg," the Governor gave his reasons for making the present change. He says that he appointed Re corder A. M. Brown, "who was under no political obligations to any party or faction; that he has removed a large number of office-holders against the Gov ernor's protest, and that In order to pre vent further removals there Is nothing for him to do but remove the present Recorder and appoint a man who will not remove capable arid efficient men for political reasons." The Governor denies that he has secured promises that he shall succeed Senator Quay, or that he has received the pledges of certain persons to support him for the United States Senate. The new Recorder Is a political lieutenant of Senator Will iam Flynn, ex-leader of the anti-Quay Republican organization in Pennsylvania, and is chairman of the Republican city committee.

River Comes Up, and Steamboatmen Arc Happy Streets Sloppy, and Scrrers Choked. , For the 26 hours preceding 2:45 P. M. vesterdav. Portland and the "Willamette Valley In general, was visited by one of ! the hardest wind and rain storms that have been seen here this year. During j the 26 hours the storm lasted, a total j precipitation of 2.62 Inches was recorded, j and 2.55 inches, fell in the last 24 hours of the storm. The heaviest rainfall ever ' December, 1S82. In yesterday's storm the wind reached its maximum velocity of 44 miles at 10:45 yesterday morning. At dark last evening the river stood six feet above the low-water mark, showing a rise of 3.3 feet slnoe yesterday morning, In a space of eight hours. Up to the time the measurement was taken the river had risen 4.8 feet since the rains commenced. PAUL SHOWAWAY . wit i wSLhW?4 . iMiteaiifegsfcft iM. lisHI0BHR9Kpi! jtfsESwsKBPfEHHBHBSH lsHlslsB 39b9SIHs9sH HEREDITARY CHD3F OF THE CAYUSE INDIANS. Paul Showaway, wljo Is at present In Portland as a witness in the Toy-Toy case, has seen 41 snows, and is a well-built specimen of his race.. He is hereditary chief fit the Cayuee tribe, being the eldest eon of Showaway, who died six years ago. after having succeeded his brother, Howlish "Wampo, who died 18 years ago. Howllsh's grandfather was a noted chief who hunted through the Blue Moun tains from the Tu-ta-willow to the Owyhee, and was often hunted back by the Snakes from the high peaks of the Greenhorn range. About the time, that this grandfather's grandpa changed his hunting grounds to the happier ones, the world wos created, so that Paul's ancestral record Is as straight as a string, and as firmly founded as the rimrocks at 'the mouth of "Wild Horse. Paul is an intelligent Indian and the boss horse-racer of the reservation. A year ago last Spring he and Chief Peo went to Washington City to find out how much cash their tribes had in the treasury. They found that from sales of part of their reservation tho United States had in April, 1000, a balance of 5150,104 90 due the three tribes the Cayuses, Umatlllas and Walla Wallas, which now num ber, according to Paul, about 000 souls. This money is drawing only 5 per cent, while It could be loaned out at Pendleton at 10 per cent. Peo, who accompanied Paul on his last Eastern trip, used to be a good hand tc go with the soldiers hunting Snakes when the latter Invaded the Umatilla coun try but last Summer he accumulated the dangerous habit of seeing snakes. For many moons he had allowed himself to be beguiled by the cup that cheers and w also befuddles Its innocent absorber. Peo's old friends hope that he will conquer the snake habit, for they remember him as one of nature's noblemen and a good man to tie to. 8 HtMnHHMHOnMMHfrMHMMHM - ft The river stations all have orders to telegraph to the Portland weather office when the river reaches a certain stage or when there Is an unusually heavy rain fall. The stage at which most of these stations are to report is between 10 and 15 feet, but as yet the river has not reached this height at any point. There Is no Immediate prospect of a heavy enough rise to do any damage. For the 24 hours ending at 5 o'clock last evening, the total precipitation at Portland was 2.34 Inches. The same amount was shown at Seattle. The heaviest rainfall in the Northwest was recorded at Astoria, where a total of 4.10 Inches was shown. The precipitation at Albany was 1.77 inches, a rather heavy rain for that part of the valley No very serious damage has resulted from the storm In this city. Of course a number of catch-basins were stopped up with leaves and sidewalks flooded, so that pedestrians were forced to take to 'the street at some of the corners. The sewers leading from the gulches at Tan ner and Johnson Creeks performed their functions In a first-clas3 manner and car ried off the surplus water without any trouble. A number of streets In the northern part of the city were filled up until they re sembled small lakes. A prominent doc tor had occasion to visit that part of the city yesterday morning and was obliged to drive his horse through a pond, where the water came up above the horse's legs and water poured Into his buggy box. The wind did some slight damage last evening. A number of blinds were torn from some residences, and the awn ings in front tof a few stores showed the effects of the gale. Extent of the Storm. Yesterday's storm extended south as far as Roseburg on the Southern Pacific, eastward to North Powder and Spokane on the O. R. & N., and on the Northern Pacific to Puget Sound oa the north and Hope, Idaho, on the cast. No dam age was reported on any of the lines. The Northern Pacific weather report showed temperature 15 degrees above aero at St. -Paul, 8 above at Jamestown and 5 above at Bismarck. Hence westward the temperature was steadily- higher, and in the Idaho panhandle the first rain was met- All trains were on time, or nearly so, no delays being attributed to the storm. -" Just a week ago .the first snow fell In the Siskiyou Mountains, the ground being covered to a depth of two Inches. It was soon melted away and the moun tains are now bare again. ' Steamboatmen Arc Happy. Steamboatmen who have, experienced the longest siege of low Water since they can remember were made happy by the rain. The river had risen three feet at Salem yesterday, and the steamer Ra mona of the Oregon City Transportation Company will go through to Corvallls Monday. She made the last trip that was made from Independence down July 5. Boats had stopped running' to" Cor vallls before that time, and the towns along the river above Salem will be greatly pleased to see them again. The water was also coming up in Lewis River and a boat got up as far as La Center, yesterday, and a much greater rise Is expected today. Leaks at City Hall. The City Hall leaked in several places. Water came down Into the free Teadlng room, the roof of the porte cochere at the ,west entrance leaked, and a lot of water found Its way In at the south end of the building and Hooded a portion of the basement floor, keeping a man busy sweeping It Into the sewer. A man who rents a lot of houses was driven wild by complaints of his tenants about roofs leaking. When he started out to make Investigations, the wind turned his umbrella lnalde out, and ripped it to pieces, and he was drenched before he could ilnd shelter. He said any one could see that this was an extraordinary occasion. , WILL HOLD FOREIGN TRADE German Official Has No Fear of America. NEW YORK, Nov22! Lv M..Goldber- ger, member of the Imperial Germau Con sultative Board for Commercial Measures and Royal Privy Councillor of Commerce, Who has been In this country for some time studying political conditions, has Just been Interviewed concerning the report of United States Consul-General Mason at Berlin, which was recently made public by the State Department. Mr. Goldberger said: "There were no essentially new facts In this report of Mr. Mason. While the duty of an American Consul naturally consists In the. exclusive furtherance of American Interests It would seem to be for the mu tual Interests of his own country, and the one to which he was accredited to guard against apparent exaggerations. "Our German workmen are energetic and Intelligent They have a large meas ure of technical knowledge and abilities In the most difficult branches. It is not strange that every step of American prog ress and American development is being watched with the keenest eye in Ger many. Does not America watch indus trial activity in Germany with just as keen an eye? "English foreign trade today leads the world. Then comes Germany and America follows at a short distance. It may be as sumed that this proportion will continue to prevail In the future, the circumstance and the Interests concerned appearing powerful enough to secure such continu ance." Tvro Men Understood the South. NEW YORK, Nov. 22. Russell Sage and Miss Helen M. Gould were honored guests at the seventh annual bano.uet of the So- CletV Of Mnvllfttoilr necrcnilant. ot T"1 j monlco's last night. Senat6r McLaurln, or boutn Carolina, one of the principal speakers said: l j.nere are only two men in our history who fully understood the South Lincoln and McKlnley. If Lincoln had lived there would have been an end to carpetbaglsm among us, and If McKlnley had lived he would have reunited the discordant sec tions of the South, for, more than any other man, he understood them." j ' A Colorado Professor's Invention. BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 22. Dr. William Duane, professor of physics at the State University, has just been granted a pat . ent for an Invention by which a large 1 number of telegraph messages can be sent over one wire and earth return at the same time. In the physical laboratory at the university. It Is said, he has had as , many as IS circuits working on the same I wire and return all at the same time. Oni j any of these circuits the Morse Instrument , can bo placed and used exactly as with the single wire now in use. Dr. Duane's in vention Is based on the principle of syn I chronizlng motors. Women, from their sedentary habits, are often subject to headache and consti pation. These are quickly removed by Carter's Little Uver Pills, SUFFERED SEVERE FALL PHILIP HOLMES SLIPPED - FROM TOP OF TELEPHONE POLE. He Had Climbed to Separate Crossed Wires, "When He Dropped Dis tance ot Thirty Feet. Philip Holmes, son of the late H.. H. Holmes, fell from a telephone pole, a dis tance of about SO feet yesterday, at 12 o'clock and narrowly escaped being killed. The young man Is In the employ of the Pacific States Telephone Company. it Is not his business to climb poles, but as he was passing the intersection of Fourth and Alder streets, he noticed that two wires above were crossed. He wore a pair of shoes with new and heavy soles recently put on. He climbed the pole readily, but when at the point where the wires were -crossed, he slipped and fell to the street. He tried to save himself as he went down, but as the soles of his shoes were sllpperj. he could not prevent his falling. He struck the street on his heels. As he came down his fall was somewhat broken, and he did not strike the street with full force. He was able to walk across the street, wherx there were some friends, and they sent him to his home at 8 East Sixth street. Dr. Cham bers, who was called, made a thorough examination. No bones were found broken, but he was suffering severely from tne shock of the fall. In the afternoon he was somewhat restless. The physician thinks that the only Injury Is in the shock he sustained, and that he will be well In a few days. NO RELIEF FOR BROOKLYN. Board of Education Has No Money to Build Four-Room Addition. The members of the Board of Educa tion say there Is no money with which to build more rooms to the Brooklyn School house, and that when more room Is ac tually required an outside building will be "rented. This was the report matie by Councilman Sherett to the Brooklyn Sub board. It was not expected that an addi tion would be made to the Brooklyn build ing at present, but thaf provisions would be made to build this addition next year, when the pressure on the space of the schoolhousc will become very great. Outside rooms cannot be rented anyr where within 10 blocks of this building. There Is no public hall and not a vacant house In the neighborhood that would be available as a classroom. People are inquiring for houses all about the Brook lyn School building, but are finding none. Probably the old Webfoot hoae com pany's quarters on East Eighteenth and Powell streets might be fitted up. it belongs to the district, but It. is unsulted for the purpose and Is occupied by the hose company. At Clinton Kelly a full room Is being built In the large hall on the second noor, which will provide nine full roorr. In this building, and wtll meet require ments for at least a year more. The pressure on the Board of Education for more school facilities Is very great from many sources, but the directors can go no further than the means which the tax payers provide will Justify. At tho North End, in Alblna, the Ockley Green Schoolhouse Is finished, and will probably be occupied Monday. The open ing of this building will furnish some re lief to that part of the district. REV.

Barney, of Brook lyn, which aroused considerable Indigna tion when he announced recently that he had Inoculated a young woman with the disease, were brought to a sudden close by Dr. Robert A. Black, head of the Board of Health In that borough, who seized tno cow on which he had founded his work. Dr. Barney combats the theory of Dr. Koch, the eminent German medical au thority, that consumption could not be communicated from a lower animal to a human being, and with that end In view he inoculated the cow with the disease and kept her in his stable to watch the progress of the disease. The cow had be come very sick and he was preparing soon to hold an autopsy on her when the agents of Dr. Black pounced upon the creature and carried her away to the public pound, where, It Is said, she will be destroyed. Banks Reduce Interest Rate. NEW YORK, Nov. 22. A movement is on foot among the savings banks of this city to reduce their rate of Interest to de positors after January from 4 to 3 per cent per annum. Individual banks have been forced from time to time to drop to the lower rate, but never before has si multaneous action by all the 4-per-cent banks been seriously contemplated. John Harsen Rhoades, president of the Greenwich Savings Bank, roughly out lined the situation of the savings banks as follows-: "The general tendency In this city and throughout the state is toward a reduc tion of Interest payments to depositors. There are some savings banks here which powders. times a.s Pe Goofl Advice Offered by . Good Women. Womanly Counsel Which Brings Womanly Comfort Suffering women sympathize with each other. Even though their condition seems hopeless, there is a common bond of suffering which draws them together. But no woman can sympathize with a woman who is sick, as can one who has herself had a similar sickness, and has been cured, and is once more a healthy, happy woman. Into such sympathy goes hope and help, good cheer and encour agement. Suppose a woman suffering from some form of womanly disease, inflammation, ulceration, prolapsus or several diseases in complication. She is weak, worn-out, miserable. Part of the time she keeps her bed part of the time she drags around in constant pain. There comes to her a neighbor who has heard of her condition and this neighbor says : " I j was like you are and I can tell you what cured me ot every ache and pain." Sup pose not one neighbor but a score or a hundred come and say in similar words : "I was afflicted with a disease like yours, but I was toldof a means of cure and by the use of this remedy was restored to perfect and permanent health." Would not such re -iterated statements from jympathic and reliable women bring the desire to try this means of cure which had brought health and strength to so many in a like condition ? Your neighbors recommend Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the cure of womanly diseases. They have tried it, been cured by it and arc anxious that every suffering woman should be restored to health as they have been. " My health is the best now that it has been for four years," writes Mrs. Phebe Morris, of Ira Cayuga Co., N. Y.. Box 52. "I have taken but two bottles of your medicine, Favorite Prescription ' and ' Golden Medical Discovery.' These medicines have done me more good than all that I have ever taken before. I couldn't do my work only about half the ' time, and now I can work all the time for a family of four. Before I took yqur medicines I was sick in bed nearly half the time. My advice to all who are troubled vntk female weakness is to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and ' Golden Medical Discovery ' the most wonderful medicines in the world." WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR? But the reader of this may say, nI do not know Mrs. Morris. I never heard of her. How can she be my neighbor?" There is an ancient parable based upon thi3 very question of rieighborliness. It relates to a certain man who fell among theives. His own countrymen passed by on the other side. It was left to a can and should pay G per cent. These banks were established many years ago; they have comfortable surpluses, consist ing largely of Government bonds, and other solid securities. Again, other 4 per cent banks by virtue of their locality are able to get real estate mortgages which yield 5 and 6 per cent. By the spirit of the law they should pay their depositors 4 per cent. On the other hand, many banks cannot In all fairness pay over 3 per cent.
