Second inquest held Verdict Declares Woman's Skull Was Fractured by Two- Blows From -Behind One Clew Is Be jj ing Closely Followed, v . NEWPORT, Or.. July 27. (Special.) lAlttaough two sisters of Sophia Nois, who disappeared from here October 17, 1904, have viewed the skeleton of a white r. woman found on the beach, and county JPmclals have followed every line of in ryestigatlon that promised any results, J"j the gunnysack mystery Is as deep to Blight as when It was dug from the sand tear Williams' dock yesterday morning-, j; i As further corroboration of the theory ... nthat the gunnysack mystery is one of Jmurder, Coroner Carter held a second Mnquest today and the Jury returned this hverdict: 'The bones are those of a ' P"6 woman aged about 21 years, killed by a blunt instrument which fractured ,'. the skull In two places, above the right ear and at the base of te brain. It is "evidently a case of murder." l "Of that clew which the disappearance of the Nois girl lends the snarl, the onlx i knew facts brought out by today's Investl ' fcatlons were the rumor that she and her hrother-ln-law, E. E. Alloway, quarreled fchortly before she dropped from sight, t . .nd that she first met him at the same Wme he became acquainted with her sis Ki Jer, while all were working on a ranch. Mrs. E. A. Alloway, of Blodgett, and , Wj& John Gunsalus, of Jefferson, arrived n Newport today, summoned by the ; J taint hope that the bones might be those v tof their sister. Both sisters are of the ",J Opinion that she committed suicide, a i, velief generally held here. w Women See Bones. !' " k Without emotion, they gazed upon the J!; barnacled remnants of a human being " tend minutely inspected the looking-glass, ?l !the scrap of silk, the bottles and cards ntvhich were In the gunnysack when John Bchlesser, of Albany, found it. Then they shook their heads. They were un- table to Identify anything that would in- i Vilcate that the mass of human wreckage (before them was their sister's. Mrs. Alloway said her sister Sophia v lhad her teeth filled with gold a short ' ttime before she went to Newport. The . Iteeth in the grimacing skull before her, " the said, were not Sophia's. Investigation of the mystery Is pro " seeding on the oftlcial conviction that the Z. rirl was murdered, her hands and feet 'chopped off after the slayer had dealt Vhe death blows from behind, and the iody cast Into the sack. The fact that the sack contained playing cards prac j, tlcally dispels the theory that it was j "washed up by the see a, for If the sack m had been In the water a great length " of time, the pasteboards would have dls- solved. n Sheriff James Ross and Deputy Prose ',5 Cuting Attorney Hawkins held a confer f 'nce today with Mrs. Alloway and Mrs. Ounsalus, and accompanied the two wom itn while they viewed the bones and con- ressed their inability to establish, their " Identity. - " Mrs. Ounsalus was not In Newport at the time Sophia Nois disappeared. Mrs. lAlloway was, however, and of the extra ordinary mystery she said: "My sister, Sophia Nois. was about 21 tarears of age when she came here with any husband and me, to go to Mr. Allo jway's Siletz homestead. On the night - Vof October 16. 1904, my husband and I pwent to the store to buy provisions. My Winter was ordinarily a lively girl, and . JCaptain Jacobson. of the Bay-view Hotel, rwhere we were staying, urged us to buy - smm rice, saying that Sophia would (Probably marry a Pole as Boon as we treached the homestead. There were many iPoles In the vicinity at the time. Girl Breaks Down. "When we returned, however. Sophia rwaa In a very despondent mood. Finally, HElie broke down and cried. 1 asked her what the matter was and she said she would tell it all If I insisted. I don't know what she meant by 'it.' "After my husband and I had gone to Hxd. some one knocked on the door. My (husband said: 'Don't answer.' The tknocklng continued and I got up. Sophia I was at the door. She Bald she wanted a uead pencil and I gave it to her. "It was reported that that night a plash was heard in the bay. The next ijnorning Sophia was missing. In her 'room was a grip containing her clothes (find a note which read: 'Dear sister, go thy way and think no more of me. I am frotng where you will never see me any taore.' I have kept the note. - "Lifesavers dragged the bay without Success. The same day, Mr. Alloway and I left for the homestead. Mrs. Amanda .Tomllnson, of Wells, and Mrs. John Lutz, f Wrenn, two of my sisters, came over lliere to investigate but did not learn Wnythlng. "Gold fillings were put in my sister's geeth in the Spring of 1904 by a young Portland dentist named Fitzpatrick." Although Mrs. Alloway gave no expla nation and did not allude to it, it was re ported here at the time of the Nois girl's disappearance that she had quarreled Iwlth her brother-in-law, Alloway. Questioned by the Sheriff and Deputy (Prosecuting Attorney Hawkins, Mrs. Al jloway said she had met her husband in jWasco County. Oregon. Like herself and filer sister Sophia, he was employed by a farmer named James McMillan. She .married Alloway a few days before com bing to Newport with Sophia Nois, in October, 1904. Alloway is not here. His wife says be remained at home to look after the children. . Mrs. William Nois. mother of Sophia, arrived this evening from Wells, but has thrown no light upon the strange disappearance of her daughter.- She knows no .reason why Sophia should have destroyed herself or should have been spirited away. Mrs. Nois had not 'seen her son-in-law, Alloway, since 1909, when he moved to Blodgett, where Mrs. Nois lived at that time, from Ore gon City, .where he lived after leaving . his Siletz homestead. Mrs. Nois denies any knowledge of the rumor that Alloway turned his af fections from Sophia to Gusta Nois, whom he married, and that trouble was . caused in consequence. Speaking of the Nots case. Sheriff Ross ays that he Is convinced she never left Lincoln County after her disappearance. (He has concluded that the bones are not hose of Sophia Nois.

Ordinance Prepared and Vote Will Be Taken by People at Com ing Fall Election. MARSHPIELD, Or., July 27. (Spe cial.) The commission of the Port of Coos Bay held a public meeting at which the property-owners expressed approval regarding the proposed plans for the improvement of the harbor. The commission has prepared ' an ordinance which the people will be asked to vote upon at the Pall election. The commission holds that it has the right to issue bonds on its own accord but las decided to first submit the matter to a vote. The ordinance provides for three projects. One is to 'improve the chan nel of the bay, another to purchase sites for public docks and warehouses and another Is to deepen the channels of the rivers and streams flowing Into the bay. The plan is to make a channel 20 feet deep extending from the C. A. Smith mill at the head of the bay to the ocean. The channel is to be 300 feet wide all of the distance and 500 feet wide opposite tne cities. It Is the intention to spend $200,000 on this work. Information has been received from the Government engineers' office In Portland that the Government dredge Oregon will be sent here within the next six weeks to work on the Inner channel. The work will be paid for out of the $50,000 appropriation made by Congress which is now available The work done by the Government dredge will lessen that which it is pro posed to have done toy the port com mission. It Is proposed to spend $50,000 im proving the rivers emptying into the bay and also to spend $50,000 In pur chasing sites for public docks and warehouses. The commission feel that u,ture the two cltles n the bay, Marshfield and North Bend, will be connected and become one place and It is likely that they -will select one large site which would be suitable for publlo docks for the consolidated city To pay for all of this work it is ?r?P.Sed that bonds ln te sum of $300,000 be issued to run for 20 vears and to draw 5 per cent interest. These ..u.oo uiuuiuons, incorporated ln the ordinance, wlll.be voted upon at the election. 1 BLOWS AIMED AT ROAD TACOMA BOARD HAS NEW MOVE IX FERXHILL WAR, V Fresh Demands Made of Street Rail way Company Corporation Will Make Counter Attacks.

OBSTACLES ARE REMOVED Hill Road Reaches Agreement With Lane County Asset Company by Which Prior Rights on City Street Are Overcome. EUGENE. Or., July 27. (Special.) Mayor Matlock and members of the City Council say there will be no delay ln granting the franchise asked by the Oregon Electric line, which provides for cntrar.ee Into Eugene by Fiftii street. The ordinance probably will be passed a week from next Monday n'.:ht. It was said at the last Council mast ing that probably 20 trains a day wiuld be running in and out of Eugene wnen the road is completed. General Man ager Coolldge said that passenger serv ice of 60 miles an hour could be given, making the trip from Eugene to Port ling in about 3 -A hours. When Harrison Allen, attorney for the Oregon Electric, appeared before the Council a week ago and asked for a franchise over Fifth street, members of the Council were favorably inclined. but found that the Lane County Asset Company already held a franchise over the street. This objection was soon overcome at a meeting of the officials of the com panies. M. Svarverud, president of the Lane County Asset Company, said that the only agreement . so far made be tween the two companies was with re gard to the franchise, but it is believed here that further arrangements may be perfected later. The Lane County As set Company already has placed an or der for ties, and it Is practically as sured that part of the work will be done this FalL Mayor Matlock said that he looked upon the coming of the Oregon Electric as the most important event in the Ins tory of Eugene since the Southern P.v clflc Railroad built Into the city. He said that the people must not make a mistake in exacting too much of the company, because such, exactions had proved serious mistakes to municipali ties which had lost more than t'ney sought for through such exactions. The lat'er part of his speech was inspired largely by the representation of Fifth street property-owners, who through their representative, Clark Devereaux, urged that the Council require the Ore gon Electric to pave Fifth street. in speaking for the electric company, Mr. Allen said that the company w ula not pave iifth street, but that it wiuld share any improvements agreed upon by the citizens. On motion of Councilman Henderson the petitions of the Fifth-street resi dents were placed on file. The meeting -was attended by repre sentatives of each of three companies that have been interested in the Fifth street controversy. The Oregon Elec tric was represented by General Man ager Coolldge, Chief Engineer Reed and Attorney Allen; the Portland, Eugene ec Eastern by Manager O Conner and Attorney Woodcock, and the Lane Coun ty Asset Company by M. Svarverud and Attorney Campbell. The 'Commercial Club was represented by a committee consisting of W. H. Kay, Frank McAl lister, W. M. Green, Henry Hollenbeck and D. A. Paine, who urged the grant ing of any street franchise that would benefit the city. The coming of the Hill road Is the leading topic of conversation on ' the streets of Eugene today. It is strongly believed that Eugene will be reached by the Hill roads of Central Oregon through Mclienzie Pass, in the Cas cades, and will continue west by way of the Siuslaw Pass through the Coast Mountains, reaching the Pacific Ocean at Coos Bay.

AMERICAN EXPRESS HIT Successor to Pacific Company Under Fire lor Second Time. SALEM, Or., July 27. (Special.) L. S. Wright, of Portland, complains in a let Contagious Blood Poison Is the most powerful and destructive of all blood, disorders. It corrupts and vitiates the entire circulation and mani fests itself in the most hateful and loathsome symptoms, suoh as ulcerated mouth and throat, copper-colored spots, and even sores and ulcers on differ ent parts of the body. The poison causes the hair and eyebrows to fall out, and sometimes the finger nails come off and the entire glandular system is attacked. No medicine can cure Contagious Blood Poison which does not rid the circulation of every particle of the insidious virus. The least taint left in the blood will break: out afresh, when treatment is left off. S. S.S. is the real and certain cure; it goes into the blood and by removing every particle of the poison, and adding rich, healthy qualities to the circulation, forever cures this powerful disease.
