Is sup posed by the Portland police to be Claude Kdmonrinnn, a negro, who disappeared mysteriously from this city New Year's day, 19oS, after having struck L.. C. Ruhl, a white man, but the keeper of a lodging house for negroes at Seventh and Glisan streets. The assault occurred the night of December 30, MOT, a negress witness ing the blow. From the effects of his Injury, the aged victim died at one of the local hospitals several days later. Ruhl's skull was crushed with the butt of a revolver. At the time of the alleged ajtercatlon between Ruhl and Edmundson, Captaia Patrick Bruin was In charge of tha de tective department and a report mado by a patrolman on the affair was stacked with minor reports. Ruhl's injury not be ing regarded as serious. Wlien death re sulted, the report was taken from the tiles and search was instituted for Ed mondson. The patrolman who reported the assault mentioned him as the prob able assailant. Edmondson bears a scar on his cheek and for several days negroes similarly marked were taken to police headquarters for identification. "Within a month all hope of capturing the fugitive was given up and as far as the local police were concerned, the search was abandoned. The negress who witnessed the death-blow was found after Ruhl's death. She was subjected to strict questioning by the police and after sev eral days' surveillance, was allowed to leave the city. It is understood at the police station she Informed Captain Bruin that Kdmondson struck Buhl In a tit of anger and that it was not a case of premeditated murder. At the recent session of the grand jury an indictment ' was found against .u mondson, charging him with murder. It is prohahle District Attorney Cameron will draw a warrant for Edmonton's retention today and obtain extradition papers for his transportation to Portland to face trial here.

May art. ,To the Editor In & communication published in lat Fri OrAmiaji. Air. P fcil Metschan ad PORTLAND CRM vises all voters to "rote no on all bond la eues. To do otherwise la to attempt to bankrupt the city." I take issue" with the writer on thia ques tion. He overlooks the fact that a large part of our preaent bonded indebtedness consists of water bonds,-and that they take care of themselves. These bonds represent real property. The $2,700,000 now Invested and the $3,000,000 voted two year ago, which will give this city an unlimited sup ply of the finest water in the world, Ijs the best-paying property a city can have. If It were owned by a corporation. It would be capitalized for $30,000,000 or $40,000,000. and would be paying a 7 per cent dividend to the Investors. It belongs to the public, and Is paying 10 per cent on the invest ment as now managed. it could be sold today to a syndicate at a Large profit. The $500,000 voted for docks, if properly Invested, will be a source of profit and not add to the burden of taxation. If the peo ple of Portland 5 years ago had acquired the docka or the land on which the docks are built, the receipts from rentals alone would now pay a large part of our taxes. The $1,000,000 voted for parks, if prop erly invested in real estate; cannot prove a loss in a progressive city, and if bankruptcy starea us in the face it can be rep4atted and sold to horn builders, at an increased valuation. Mr. Metschan is afraid if the bridge amendments carry that these wlU Increase taxation. The trouble has been in the past that our bridges have been frail and per ishable structures, inadequate to the re quirements of traffic. The proposed bridge at Sherman street, with a steel span of 400 feet, the rest of the structure built of reinforced concrete, 150 feet above mean low water, and strong enough to carry the Rull Run pipeline, w-ould last 300 years. Competent engineers have estimated that it will cost about $1H0 a running foot, or about $750,000. to build. If so. the bonds will be issued only to the amount to cover the cost. If Mr. Metschan and the members of the Taxpayers' League .who oppose the bridge will do a little figuring they will see that there Is no danger of bankruptcy If the voters want the Sherman-street and the Broadway-street bridges. The change of the Madison-street bridge to Market street, in my opinion, is simply a scheme of a pri vate corporation to mix up the voters and defeat the Sherman-street bridge. To change the location of that bridge means Ir reparable delay and injustice to that part of the city. The Sherman-street bridge will double the assessed value of not leas than 30O0 lots. Lots at First and Sherman streets are now apseased at $3000 per lot. Thia would In crease the tax roll $9,000,000, and if the same tax levy were assessed as that re quired this year, $lK0.OO0 would be col lected, or enough to pay for the bridge in eight years, if it cost the full amount of the bond issue. If one bridge Is built in the North End and one in the South End of the city, and the whole $3,000,000 is ex pended, such a proceeding will tend to cen tralise the city and preserve the retail dis trict. San Francisco, a city double the size of Portland, has three 'times the area in its business district. On account of railway terminals, our district cannot extend north ward. We do not want to shift our busi ness district to the Columbia River, oven if we should have a city of millions of people 50 years from now. I should like to remind Mr. Metschan and the Taxpayers League and all those who oppose the bridges that the true pavers of the taxes are the laborers and the retail dealers who rent houses and stores Ex cepting in the business center, where rents nave advanced in many places 400 per cent, the advance of rentals has been about 5 per cent. Have the taxes kept pace with this advance? I think not. If others are in earnest in their opposition, do a little think ing and a little figuring, they ,will vote for two new bridges. Think what the expendi ture of $.1,500,000 will do for the laborer and the retailer, and the effect It will have on rental values. Leave the prosperity of those directly benefited out of the question. If Portland is going to be the leading city of the Pacific Coast, it must find Itself It must acrape off its moss, must keep its business center where it Is now There must be -easy access to it from all direc tions, and there must not be any delav Portland must rise to Its possibilities and necessities. This is a ntrtctly business prop osition, not a speculation. 503 H Flr.t street. W" COTTE- OHEGOFOFFICES GAIN ADVANCE IX POSTMASTERS' SALARIES BEGINS JTJLY 1.

HEME OFFICIAL Connived at Hiding Books of Company Wanted by Grand Jury. LAWYERS CAN'T ESCAPE When Accused - as Directors of Vio lating Law, They Can't Plead Rights as Lawyers Heinze's Plan to Hide Books. NEW YORK, June L George Baglin, vice-president of the United Copper Company, was taken to the Tombs Prison today and must remain there under an order of Judge Lecomb of the United States District Court, until miss ing books of the company, which con tain evidence in the case of F. Augustus Helnze are produced. A similar punish ment hangs over Sanford Robinson; a prominent director of the company, whose case will be further considered by Judge Lacomb tomorrow. Connived at Removing Books. Both men are alleged to have permitted the spiriting away of the books that were under subpena. Baglin testified before the grand jury that he had overheard Robinson and Arthur Heinze conspiring to remove the books and had interposed no objection. "Nothing remains for me to do but to commit you for contempt." said Judge Laoomb, after hearing BagHn's admis sion. "You had no right to stand idly by while men ' were planning for the re moval of books wanted in f. grand jury investigation. An officer or an employe cannot so act with impunity." x Lawyers Can't Connive at Crime. In Robinson" . case, it was shown that he had refused to testify before the grand jury regarding his alleged conversation with one of the Heinze brothers, main taining that both he ana Heinze were attorneys for the company and their con versation was privileged. Judge Iacomb declined to accept the plea. "Members of the bar," he said, "who choose to become directors or officers of companies and are accused as directors of conspiring to violate the law, can not evade the challenge by claiming to be members of the bar. If the minutes of the grand Jury show that the situa tion is as I now understand It to be, I shall certainly commit Robinson for con tempt." If the directors depose F. Augustus Heinze from the presidency of the com pany, Mr. Heinze and his brothers, who are believed to control the stock, may within three hours, elect a new board of directors, which will reinstate him The directors say they are unable to produce the books while he is president.
