12 THE MORNING OREG0NIAX, TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 190T. L IS SHOT Bf OFFICER OF Without Provocation, La Ca mas Marshal Fires at Miss Effie Westfall. . WOUND IS NOT SERIOUS W. C. Warren, Former Portland Commission Merchant, Under In fluence of I.iqiror, Is Over powered and Arrested. Crazed by liquor and apparently unable to control himself, V. C. "Warren. Town Marshal of LaCama?, Wash., formerly a commission merchant of Portland, whipped out a revolver and fired point blank at Miss Kffle Westfall in her room in the Philadelphia House at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The bullet struck her Jn tho right log, and before he could discharge the weapon a second time, he was pounced upon by H. B. Davis, who was present, and whs disarmed and held until the arrival of Captain of Detectives Bruin. Servant Jones and Patrolmen Galhraith and Robson from police head quarters. - Miss Westfall's wound is not regarded as serious, biit it was almost as if by a mirai'Ie. that she escaped death, according to II. B. Davis and Miss Pearl Westfall, Rister of the victim. Dr. Fred Guilette was summoned and attended the sufferer, who will remain In her apartments until she recovers. "Liquor is the whole thing in the case." declared Warren to' Acting Detective Price at police headquarters. "There is nothing else to it at all. I hRd been drink ing all day, and was crazed when I fired ; the shot." Investigation by the police detectives failed to develop anything that tended to disprove Warren's statement to Price, al though at first it was believed to be Jealousy that prompted him to fire the shot, lie strongly denies this, as do all others concerned. According to the evidence so far gath ered Warren paid a visit to Miss Effie West fall's apart nipnts. in company with Miss Pearl Westfall and H. B. Davis. , Pearl Westfall lives at Sherwood, Or., and the four have been friends for a long time. At 3 o'clock Warren arose and announced that he must go, remarking that he would see the three later. Warren took his hat, walked to the door and turned, facing the two women and Davis. Suddenly and without the slishtest warning, he whipped out the re volver and fired point blank at Miss Kffie Westfall. She fell to the floor, and Davis, using excellent judgment and dis regarding the danger, leaped upon War ren, overpowering and disarming him. The screams of the women brought a crowd and the police 'were summoned by telephone. Warren was arrested and lodged in the City Jail, where he is held without bail on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Ho Is aged 47 years and is married. He formerly conducted a commission house at Front and Jeffer son streets, anj is well known In Port land. HEM SALES BEGIN WEEK OFFICIAL TRANSFKRS REACH A TOTAL OF $118,(K!8.

PASSENGERS, THREE CENTS Single Horse Rig, 10 Cents Instead of 20 Two-Horse Team, 15, .Re duction From 25 Cents Of ficials Say Takes Profit. In accordance with an order from tha County Commissioners of Clark County. Washington, rates on the ferryboat operated by the Portland Railway, tight & Power Company between Vancouver and the Oregon shore will be reduced May 1. The question of rates between Portland and Vancouver has been a live one for some time, the Clark county authorities having been trying to get a round-trip rate of 25 cents between the two cities. The reduction to this extent seems unlikely. The- order for the reduction of rates will have the effect of confiscating the profit made by the company in operating the ferry, say officials of the company. The new tariffs are said to leave not enough earnings to maintain the ferry and provide Interest on the investment. The reductions made by the Clark County Commissioners is material. Pas-, senger fares, formerly 5 cents, will here after be 3 cents. A single horse vehicle will be 10 cents instead of 20 as hereto fore, and the tariff on a two-horse team will be 15 cents instead of the forriier charge of 25 cents. There is a correspond ing reduction in charges for ferrying four and six-horse teams. The present round-trip rate of 35 cents to Vancouver from Portland will not be affected by the change and the single trip ticket will be abolished, passengers making the--one-way trip being required to pay on the cars and ferry boat direct to conductors. General Manager F I. Fuller of the railway department of the Portland Rail way,, Light & Power Company, sent out notices yesterday announcing the change In rates and announcing they will become effective tomorrow. "The railway company mado a reduc tion last August of between 20 and 25 per cent in rates between Portland and Vancouver." said Mr. Fuller. "This was effective in the passenger rates between the two cities as well as in team travel on the ferryboat. This, however, was not considered sufficient by the County Com missioners of Clarke County. "Judging from past experience, the new rates adopted on the ferry will not bring in sufficient income to pay operating expenses of the ferry, provide for de preciation of the property and pay In terest on the investment represented by the ferryboat, the driveways and landings.- It will take a phenomenal and un looked for increase in business to enable the company to obtain 6 per cent interest on the ferry Investment. "The line to Vancouver is a very ex pensive one to maintain on account of the long trestle over the Columbia River bottom lands, which cannot be expected to last more than ten years. The com pany expended $135,000 on this line during the past year and planned to expend $30,000 more on a now ferryboat and other improvements this year. "The company is, however., willing to make a trail of the new ferry rates for a sufficient time to see whether the in crease in business will make up for th decrease in rates. Should the business not increase sufficiently to pay a reason able return on the investment, the Com missioners will undoubtedly be requested to change the rates." Summer Rates to Newport. The usual Summer season rates to New port from Portland and- Valley points v w tha Southern Pacific are annouiiww js -: in conjunction with the Corvallis & ast ern The usual rouno-inp i v the season will become effective June 1 for the Summer. The over-Sunday rate will be 3 as formerly. IS ON PERMANENT FOOTING OREGON BRANCH OF PEACE AS SOCIATION ESTABLISHED. Officers Are Elected and Addresses Made by Lane, Black, Foster and Other Members.

Snell and Ren Parsons have just returned to Portland from a most danger-, ous, but withal pleasant, trip. Snell is a timber cruiser and his Work called him to the lower Kehalem River. As the roads are nearly impassable, Snell and Parsons decided to take the trip down the stream in a boat. They made a crude craft of rough lum ber and loading a three weeks' camping supply the boys started down the danger ous river regardless of the warning of farmers and rivermen in the Nehalem River Valley. The river is noted for its swiftness and is considered one of the roughest streams for its rize on the Pa cific Coast. Grand Rapids is the first bad place, Here for nearly a mile one bolder after another shows above the surface and there is a great fall. The boys had a narrow escape, as they ran on a rock and only by bard work kept the boat from capsizing.
