MONTGOMERY MAY GO TO OAK PARK. Will Announce His Decision as Soon as Letter iTom Illinois Church Has Been Received. Rer. A. J. Montgomery, who received word last Monday night that the Second Presbyterian Church, of Oak Park, 111., had extended to him a unanimous call to its pastorate, has not yet received the document, and for that reason did not an nounce to his congregation last night what decision he has reached. He said that he will make the' announcement from the pulpit of the Third Presbyterian Church Sunday morning. "In Justice to myself, and out of cour tesy for the church in the Chicago sub urb, I do not feel that I can accept or re ject a call which I have not received," said Mr. Montgomery last night. "I ex pected that the letter from the Eastern church would be here by this time and that I would be in a position to inform my congregation of my decision at the prayer-meeting. But, owing to the delay In the mail, I shall not do so until Sunday morning." The local church does not wish to lose Its pastor, and is doing everything pos sible to Induce him to remain. He says V Rev. A. J. Montgomery, Who May Accept Pastorate at Oak Park, Illinois. the question of salary does not enter into his decision; that It 1b a question of which church will grow and develop the most rapidly. He is receiving a salary of 31600 a year at present, while the Oak Park church offers him 31S00. Mr. Montgomery was elected last Mon day chairman of the Home Mission Com mittee of the Portland Presbytery, to suc ceed Dr. William Hiram Foulkes, of the First Presbyterian Church. While he did not refuse to accept the position, he did refuse to qualify, telling the other mem bers of the committee, it Is said, that they were aware of the possibility of a change In the near future. This is taken by some to mean that he Intends to accept the Eastern call. It Is also Intimated that Mr. Montgomery would not need to wait for a meeting of his congregation to tell them that he Intends to remain. WHEREJTO DINE.

DRINK LEADS TO MURDER Toney Moer Slain by Hans Good- ager in North End letter Gloats Over His Deed When Placed Under Arrest. During a North End saloon brawl. Toney Moer.' a Norwegian logger, about 34 years old, was shot and almost in stantly killed, at :S0 o'clock last night, by Hans Goodager, proprietor of the Cosmopolitan Cafe, at 61 North Third street. The murder occurred in God ager's saloon. Moer had been drinking and was Ill-tempered, while the murderer was also so far under the Influence of drink that he boasted of the deed im mediately after he had slain his victtim. Goodager was arrested, confessed to the shooting and is now confined in the City Jail, charged with murder In the first degree. William Beiwon, a fellow laborer of Moer, Is being held as a witness and the police are searching for a newsboy and two other loggers said to have seen the shooting. Investigation Indicates that Moer was killed without provocation. According to stories told by the mur derer and witness Benson, which agrees in most of their details, Benson and Moer entered the resort a few minutes before the killing. They asked for a drink, but Goodager, who says that he has known Moer for some time and that he has the reputation of a saloon brawler, refused to serve them. Two other loggers were at the bar drinking when Benson and Moer came in. They overheard part of the trouble, but disappeared Immediately and have not been found. This pair, whose names are as yet un known, left the bar and engaged In a game of cards at a table nearby. Moer walked out to a rear room while Benson watched the players. Goodager, revolver In hand, ordered Benson and Moer to leave the place. Fearing that Goodager, who was .unsteady from drink, might use the weapon, Benson hurried out of the saloon. Goodager again ordered Moer out. The lattter knocked the weapon out of Good ager's hand. This Infuriated the saloon man and he ran behind the bar, grabbed another revolver and again came at Moer, shooting him in the mouth, the bullet passing out the back of the head. Moer sank In his tracks and died before a doctor could reach him. He never moved after he fell. The first news of the shooting was conveyed to Benson who, by this time, had gone two blocks from the scene, by a newsboy who told him-that the sa loonman had shot his companion. Ben son ran back to the saloon door, looked In, was afraid to enter and then ran down Third street until he met Patrolmen Shaffer and Leavens. With Sergeant Kay they went to the saloon and arrested Goodager. The Coroner was notified and the police officers took the Intoxicated sa loonkeeper to Jail. Before leaving the saloon he walked to the side of the dead body and said: "Well, that's a good Job; you'll never be able to fight with any more policemen or saloon keepers." Goodager laughed and said that he had ordered Moer ont of his place and, because he would not go, had shot him. Later, at the police station, when seen by Deputy District Attorneys J. J. Fitzgerald and Frank Henessey, to whom he made- a signed voluntary statement, he declared that Moer had tried to strike him while he was behind the bar, but this statement is discred ited. Goodager is 45 years old and single. He has been a saloonman for years, formerly of Astoria. He has been in his present resort more than a year. He lives at the Grand rooming-house at 45 North Third street. His victim had been a foreman of the Oregon Tim ber & Lumber Company, near Clifton, Or., until a few days ago. Since that time he had been in Portland living at 101 North Sixth street. Benson, his friend, had been living- at 25 North Third street. Nels Swanson, an old man employed as the swamper at Goodager's saloon. was found by patrolman &naner ai midnight In a lodging-house in the North End and arrested as a witness In the case. Not much reliability is placed on Swanson's statements, as he contradicts Goodager's testimony. Swanson says he was an eye-witness to the shooting and that Moer drew a revolver on Goodager before Goodager reached for his weapon. Goodager said that Moer had no weapon. He showed evidences of hav ing been drinking when brought to the police station, but was positive In his story. Goodager said that all the men In the saloon were unknown to him save Moer. This would make Swan son's statements appear fictitious. Double-eole shoes keep your feet dry. Special sale prices at Rosenthal's. Plant Slbson rosea.
