Philip Kdwarda Johnson whm slugged, robbed and hurled over the Ford-street bridge, and this Is the flrrt recognition that the police of the city have given that Dr. Johnson rtif.t li t datn at the hands of thugs. The notice was put up by Act- Ins Chief GrilziMclw, Saturday night " and the mere posting: must have been as lilttpr a full to Acting Chief or Detec tives Bruin, for he wuh as Irascible aa a pwn man vith a noun-flay colic, Acting Chief of Detectives!

But It is not on record, that Bruin, or any of his so- tailed (Unectlves made an attempt to Kather information tliat would tend to il isprove their concocted theory of suicide. If Jlru In. or any of his men , would have taken ae inucli pains to solve the murder of Dr. Johnson as they have taken to find some ulentler thread upon which to baae their m : 1 i v deduction of suicide. tliey would have learned trom Conductor 1-Vftk that on Monday night between T :4j and 8 o'clock, a man came running? up behind him, on the Terrace road, mopped when he saw the conductor, hurried past him. and then when h& was a safe dls tance away tiefcan running- down the road at a break-nock speed. If Bruin had made an Investigation hp Mulct have lounfl that ihortly before 8 o'clock, Mr. -Honeyman, who was about to make a call at the home of O. lO. S.

Police Know Tcali's Story, The police have Conductor Feak's story. It came to a. member of the department Saturday because Conductor Feat told. H to a man who said he was a detective. To JBruln. the fact that two different men were heard running; away Trom the scene of the murder by two different men and about &t the same hour, as nearly as time can be named, by men who had no knowl edre that a terrible crime had heen com mitted, will have little significance. The acting chief, ot detectives made up tils mind quick on the nliyht of the murder that Dr. Johnson had committed suicide, and unlike that eayln of the wiseacre, "that a wise man changes nia mind, Hut a fool, never," in spite of the accumula tive evidence that has come up since the. n h t of the tragedy, he dogredly refuses to drop tne suicide theory. Conductor Peak, who lold Ms ntory Snt- ll rflay afternoon to H. V. Lewie and m v Is not a m uri who would. Just for eheer notoriety, concoct the story or hav. ing mot tills running man on Monday rilRht.

Story of David T. Honey man. This is the story of Conductor Feak. David T. Honeyman was not in the city yesterday, but the story " he tells, coupled with that of Conductor Feak, should prove even to Acting Detective Bruin that Dr. Johnson was murdered and that the, deed was committed by two men, and that these two murder ous thugs, after hurling Dr. Johnson's unconscious body over the railing1, sep arated, one running- south and turning down the Terrace Road and the other north on Ford street. It has been Mr. 1 loneyman's custom to visit the Wood home about 8 o'clock or a few .minutes earlier. On Monday night he made his usual call, and it was while waiting for the door to open he heard a man running, and later stumble and fall. Mr. Honeyman, in telling; of the oc- currenee, Baid that his first impulse on hearing the man fall was to go and see if he could be of any aid to him, but Just at that time the door was opened and he entered the house and forgot the incident. The moment, how ever, he learned of tr. Johnson's death Mr. Honeyman recalled the occurrence and he regrets most sincerely that he did not follow out his original inten tion. That not all of the policemen In the department support the Bruin theory was evidenced Saturday when Police- man Got tz reported that on Monday nlf?ht about 1 1 o'clock a man I v 1 n k the name of A.

In no city in the country, perhaps, would such ft murder case be' so wretch- edly handled. As an apology for his delin quent police force. Mayor In.ne I " credited with having told rriends of the murdered man that tlie talk of slli- clde was put forth by the police so as to throw those who committed the deed, off their guard and make, them believe that the police were not liunt- rfz for the criminals. This statement is aJmoMt equal to Bruin's cunning. To say that the police have not been vorkin? on tlie case vouia tie stating something that is not true, for they have, but those who have been work ing with Bruin have been working thiir neaaa ofr trying to flna Bomeuuiijj tenable to hang the suicide theory on. Bruin was cunning enough last Mon day night w hen the m u rder was dls covered to realize that a great mystery shrouded the crime. In his owl-like wisdom he know that by trying: to es tablish that Xr, Johnson had t lirown himself over the bridge the po- lice would not have to bother about try ins; to find who committed the deed, Jiiiit that no blame -ou I ne laid at the doors of bis self-sufficiency and the Iiisulflrlcnry of the department un der him. "Had Bruin been a detective, even by Instinct, he wou id have placed policemen to guard the bridge and the roadway telow on Monday night. Not only this, he would have had his de- f i--t iv-'B at the h c n of the murder t r. m im 1 1 1 1 n it. was 1 1 K' ti t enuush to h ... lra; he Old not. He cullea it suiciae and was pleflBed. Captain lli-iiln'n Theory. As nearly as can be learned, the only thing that Bruin has to base his d&tlne- tlon of nufcide on Is the manner in which Mrs. J oh riBOU received the news of the death of her husband. To a man of Bruin's menial lttftkfiUD this Vas IfflilllWIlpMble evidence that the unhappy woman did not care. lie could not understand that such shocking news could deaden all evl- km of amotion and tears. Hud Mrs. Johnson fainted at the news, what would have become of Bruin's theory? Another thing to which this sleuth has attached great significance vas tne anxiety or tne widow t0 fret possession of the keys. To try to bolster up a case of- suicide Bruin has aerached In vain lor some evidence ot domestic troitie, He pertiaps Has listened with Interest, to some of the lly aOMsip ta the erTt that I ,-. John won waa in flnancial difficulty. If h, did lie iPiirnea tliat Vr, Johnso while lie was not wealthy, had some money ' of his own and that the fortune of his wife waa at hia disposal. . , Another line ot reason that lias oeen followed by Bruin and Ms corps of de- tectl ves is that no man or set of men would have attempted robbery ln the middle of a bridge, where a- "get away" m not easy. It 1b true that no matter who the thief I. the flrt thought Is that of a aaf .-cap. Tord-atrMt bridge on Monday, night was dark and it was aa easy to commit the crime there as at either approach. With the wind blowing as it was on that night it would be an easy task for the murderers to have slipped up behind Dr. Johnson and slugged him. Conductor Feak says it would have been extremely easy. Tor a man to walk up behind him and he not know it, for the wind would have deadened ail sound. Another argument ot the police is, that if robbery and murder had been done, the bridge being dark, the thieves would have carried off the pocket book. They ay it would have been too dark to have discovered that the pocket book did not contain money and they would hav waited until they got where there was a light- before they examined the con tents. A thief who was capable of com mitting that murder would readily have been able to tell by feeling whether the pocket book contained money. Johnson's Domestic Relations, A careful inquiry has been made among the close personal friends and acquaint ances of the murdered man, in an effort to find out if there were a bit of truth in the srosalp that all was not pleasant and happy between Dr. and Mrs. Johnson.. The Inquiry has been fruitless. If. ever a man had no motive for seeking1 self- destruction. that man was Dr. Johnson. At the Xortonla, where the couple lived, not a person- can be found that will say other than that their relationship was of the happiest. In fact there was comment a mom? the Ruests that Tr. and Mrs. Johnson were the happiest of married EVERYTHING IN READINESS TO COMMENCE EAST SIXTH STREET ( 'Tl lp4 1 rrt:)AV'ji ;kf v y r pi nnm. people.

He was not a man of impulse and not one among His many friends could remember ever having sen him moro?e or blue. On the con trary, lie was full o life and a person whose companionship was sought. ,tms from men who went through college with him were clSamates and knew him for years. Of tlie friends lie made during lli3 frier tWO months Stay in Portland, the same story of his jovial, light-heart- edness is told. So if he committed sui cide, It must have been from impulse and WiUlOUt ft motive. Then, too, it lie had made up his-mind to destroy himself, AS a physician, he could have done the deed in more than one -way and in a manner that TVOUld have bathed chemical analysis. a theory that some have indulged ill i6 that lr.

Coroner PlnW. when lift m& HUM was some talk of possible suicide, should have had the contents or Zr. Johnson's stomach examined. The absence of poison would have set at rest tmsKma of talk. Another thing that both the police and the Coroner should have done, and if they had met with opposition, nave m- teted upon it. was a thorough examina tion of Ir. Johnson's private papers.

Two fires, one of which was of In- cendiary origin, threatened several blocks of frame buildings in the red lifrht district on North Fourth street With destruction yesterday. The first fire destroyed the frame building: at 8 Fourth street, while the house at K 6 had the roof badly damaged, and 's I'iv'Xv.'M.v.'! that at $8 was scorched to some fx- t-nt. but suffered more from water. 1"his blaze was discovered at 5:40 A. M, and tlie nre department responaea to an-alarm from box. 142. The blaze started In tho rear of No. S4, and soon the structure was a mass of flames, the inmates being forced to flee in their flight clothes. The buildings were nearly deserted at that hour and the women-who were awakened by the fire took refuge In nftsrhborinff -houses. The blaze burned fiercely for ;i time, ,t it i i call for ex tra apparatus was sent in by Chief Campbell. The building-a damaged by this blaze are under lease to IWver Klutner. of 6KS First street. The Joss Is estimated at about WOO, covered by insurance. The second fire was discovered short ly before S A. by Frank Nadue, bar tender at the Montreal saloon, who noticed smoke issuing from the front of the Midway saloon, which was re cently closed by the police- 11 ran to the p 1 ice and assisted by other citl- zens succeeded in treaKing in tns a.r and quenching- the flames with a few buckets of water. Patrolman Qoltz appeared on the BCene at this juncture ana startea to Investigate. No one was oceupy- Ins tho rremises. and -when the officer commenced looking ground he 1 1- v that the tire was plainly incendiary. A large pile of kindling wood, half burned, was found near the front of the saloon. This wood had been soaked With Kerosene and the remnants of an old broom, which had also been soaked with oil and thrown into the kindling as a torch, was discovered by the officer. Goltz soon discovered a can hair run or on ana tins wun the broom hnndle Tie turned over to Cap tain of Police Moore as evidence of incendiarism. THe evident purpose or the, person who started tho blaze was to destroy the large building lenown as the Paris 2-Iouse. whicb was recently closed by the nolice. This house adjoins the .Midway. The closing of the two places has been the cause of more or less litigation during the past few -weeks. The former proprietor or the Midway, F. Micfiel, recently swore out warrants airalnst several inmates of North End resorts. n.t which time he said that if nesg 119 one eie enouia te permuted to do so in that locality. Michel failed to prosecute his cnarges and T n of sevorjil women arrested 'we. cases missed, Iater. Constable Wagner was called upon to arrest the inmates or tne dis order y houses and several of them were taken Into custody. The build- Ing known 9s the Midway, Which ftd joins the Paris House on the south. Is leased to Mrs, Kdlth Jones. She says she does not know of an yone who Holds a pfige against her and vno would bo likely to try to burn jaer property. Lessees and occupants of the build m&j in tne red 115m ianer are great- ly excited over the Incendiary fire, null have commenced organlzlns: s. committee of safety. Tony -A.rna.ud is the leader ot this organization.

What Is Charged by the police to be a scheme to defraud a Washington physician out of $5000 led to the arrest today of Frank F Homans. of Paris, France, and David T.
