IN DEATH MYSTERY Final Clearance Now, we Lave made the greatest and the final reduction in prices of high-class Summer Suits all broken lots in light and medium colors, me dium weights, that formerly sold at $30, $35 and $40 now Vera Hall's Sweetheart Tells ' Contradictory Story to Doctor's Statement. CHLOROFORM TALE ALTERS $1S2 -Elmer Erickson Sheds Light on Case. ( Anesthetic Said to Have Been Purchased Before Girl Had Been Examined. Vera Hall, who came to her death on the operating table of Dr. J. J. Rosen berg last Sunday, had not been examined, and wan etni Bitting In the physician's waiting-room "when Rosenberg sent her sweetheart, Elmer Krickson, out to pur chase the chloroform which was admin istered to her.'" This statement, made by Ertckson yes terday, absolutely disputes the a3rtlon of the physician, that he sent for the anesthetic after the girl had complained that the examination was painful to her. This statement, made by Erickson yes terday, absolutely disputes the 'assertion of the physician that he sent for the anesthetic after the girl had complained that the examination wast painful to her. Krickson's statement, however, is dis puted by Richard Grayson. Rosenberg's friend, who assisted him in the case. Grayson declares that the girl had been in the operating-roam from 6 to 15 minutes when Erickson was sent for the anesthetic. All the direct witnesses to the circum stances of the death of the Oregon City girl whore body was so enurreptitously removed from this city Sunday night, were examined by Deputy District At torney Fitzgerald yesterday, with but elight net result looking to the solution of the mystery. Witnesses Prove Unwilling. Elmer Erickson. who accompanied the girl to Rosenberg's office, and Richard Orayson. who araisted his friend Rosen berg in the examination, were hesitant and unwilling, answering briefly only the questions put to them. Even after allow ing for the agitation under which they have been laboring, there are wide dis crepancies between their statements and between each of them and that of Dr. Rosenberg. Grayson is not a physician. Elmer Erickson. who had been attentive to the Hall girl for over two years and who was with her at the time of her death, went from Molalla to Oregon City yesterday, upon hearing that the District Attorney wished a statement from him. In the presence of Deputy District At torney iLivy Stipp. of Clackamas County, and a representative from District At torney Cameron's office, Erickson. who was accompanied by hl mother, denied all knowledge of any improper circum stances in connection w4th the death of the girl, and declared with much agita tion that his conduct toward her had always been above reproach. He ex pressed surprise when Informed that the girl's condition showed that an illegal operation might have been contemplated. The youth said that Vera Hall had told him that she was suffering from a severe illness. Ho took counsel with his brother, the proprietor of a billiard hall on Hawthorne avenue, who sug gested that he should take the girl to Dr. Rosenberg, with whom the brother had a slight acquaintance. That is Erickson's only explanation of his rea son for going several miles out of his way to see a physician. Erickson and the girl went first early in the week, when, he says. Vera was in the operating room but a min ute. He says that Rosenberg told them to come back Sunday. This Is in con tradiction of the statements of Rosen berg and Grayson, who declare that the second visit of the girl war unex pected. Going again to the physician's office between 2 and 3 o'clock Sunday after noon, Erickson says, the girl was in the operating room about half an hour, when Rosenberg came out and said that she was dead. Prior to that, and before Vera had entered the operat ing room. Erickson says that he was sent to Cottell's drug store to purchase a bottle of chloroform. He had no prescription. The next that he knew was that Rosenberg came out. saying the girl was dead. Krickson then told the phy sician that the girl was not his wife. He declares that Mrs. Hall, who was called from Oregon City, never asked Rosenberg to conceal the death, and that the suggestion came from Rosen berg himself. The automobile trip, he says, was without incident, the report that an accident occurred on the way being false. Death Threat Made? Mrs. Hall, the mother of the dead girl, was yesterday still too unbalanced by the calamity to make a connected statement. She adheres to the belief that her daughter was not dead when she was taken away from Rosenberg's office, and is said to have made pathetic efforts to resuscitate the girl even after she reached her home in Oregon City. Mrs. ICall says that she was kept waiting at the doctor's door for half an hour be fore she was allowed to view the body of her child. It is denied by all the Oregon City parties to the case that Mrs. Hall said her husband would kill Erickson. Instead, she Is alleged to have told Ros enberg that if he had done any wrong to the girl, her husband would kill him. Investigation of the case has shown that the girl had a constitutionally weak heart, yet the physician attempted to administer chloroform without expert as sistance. In addition the Coroner's men at Oregon City say that when the body was turned over to them the stiff collar and tight corset which the girl wore had not been loosened. Grayson, in his state ment, was of the opinion that the collar had been removed and replaced by the mother, but he was not positive. Mrs. Erickson. who accompanied her son yesterday, was painfully agitated by the affair. She declared that there was no opposition in the family to the mar riage of her son and Vera Hall. She said she had advised that they wait until he was a little older and had accumulated some money. Richard Grayson was called to the office of the District Attorney yester day evening and closely questioned re garding his knowledge of the case. Grayson said that he met Rosenberg at the table at the Hazel apartments, where Grayson lives, Sunday afternoon, and was invited to take an automobile ride. Passing the physician's office, they saw someone inside and the doc tor went up, leaving Grayson In the car. A few minutes later he also went up. Erickson and the girl were sitting to Kether on the sofa in the reception room. Grayson heard the doctor ask "Mrs. Erickson" to step into the oper eratiqg room. Soon afterward, from five to 15 minutes, Rosenberg came out and said that he would have to admin ister anesthetic and asked Gravson to asslBt. The doctor also sent Krickson , mfkrJ Aft r-h AH 1;Ao"'.'oSOVee,,, AV,"T' D""r" Tex- .

H.e-d House os Itepresentatlves, Lorn Angeles. to the Cottell drugstore for chloroform, which he secured without a prescrip tion. The woman was on the operating table when Grayson entered. She com plained of pain. As soon as Erickson returned with the chloroform, Rosen burg poured some of It on a mask and applied it to her face. At the same time he felt her pulse. Grayson says that he stood idle and does not under stand why he was called to assist. The mask was on the girl's face for less than half a minute, he says, and she had not taken more than a dozen breaths, when Rosenberg, saying that the pulse was going too high, threw off the mask and commenced working the girl's arms. He called Grayson to as sist him, and for 15 minutes they kept up the artificial respiration. Then Rosenberg gave up, pronounced the girl dead and called Erickson. Grayson declares that Rosenberg wanted to report the case to the Cor oner, and did not yield to the entreaties of the girl's mother and sweetheart until 9 o'clock, when he finally con sented. Rosenberg and Erickson car ried the girl to the automobile which had been waiting ever since Grayson left it in the afternoon, and the "trip to Oregon City was made in quick time. The w-ide variance of the stories of the various participants in the tragedy, has brought the investigation to a stand-still for the present, but efforts to show that some improper motive was behind the case have not been abated. DIAMOND CASE TANGLED MAX ACCUSED OP THEFT WIT NESS AGAINST HIMSELF. Prohlem as to Whether Woman Who Charges Him Is Legal Wife or Not Perplexes Attorneys. Claude TV. Garletz, accused of steal ing a diamond ring from Ida Fisher, his alleged wife, appeared to answer in Police Court yesterday and was made the first witness for the prosecution against himsel. This unusual proceeding was taken with the approval of Judge Bennett, and over the protest of the defense, to show by the testimony of Garletz that he and the complaining witness were not legally married, thereby making it possible to use her testimony against him. It was the contention of the de fense that the Fisher woman is the wife of Garletz and, therefore, cannot testify against him. Garletz told the court he had been married three times, the last time to Miss Fisher at Vancouver, a few weeks after he had been divorced from an other wife at Astoria. Knotty legal points were brought up by the attor neys in this connection. The pros ecution declared that the divorce pro ceedings at Astoria might be invalid in which case Garletz was still mar ried to his former wife, while if they were valid, the re-marrtage within six months is invalid. Judge Bennett pointed out that the six-monthe per iod, being technically for the purpose of allowing an appeal, might not apply to the defendant, who could waive his right to appeal and remarry at will. He held, however, that the Fisher wom an was a competent witness against Garletz and ordered her testlmonv taken. . Miss Fisher said Garletz persuaded her that they could be legally married, saying that he had had the advice of an attorney on the question. Soon af ter the marriage ceremony, she said, Garletz persuaded her to lend him $500 with which to enter the saloon busi ness, and took from her a diamond ring, which he fashioned into a scarf pin. She said that he took it from her finger violently. Soon after getting the diamond, which was valued at $150, Garletz dis appeared and for a Jong time. Miss Fisher says, she did not know where he was. Finally she located him at Madras and his arrest folllowed Garletz said the woman gave the ring freely. He was held to the grand jury. Con",I, los' Angeles; Judge I. K. Home, GOOD LAND STILL CHEAP SIIXXESOTAX FIXDS PLENTY TO SETTLE OX WILLAMETTE. G. R. S locum Says One Need Only Go Into Foothills to Find Produc tive . Soil Near Market. Closing a systematic investigation of real estate .opportunities throughout a large part of the Northwest, George R. Slocum, a well-to-do real estate operator of Minneapolis, yesterday left for Seattle on his way home, after deciding that the Willamette Valley presented the best op portunities for his particular wants. Mr. Slocum came to Oregon about two months ago, bringing with him his fam ily, whom he installed in a furnished house In Salem. From there he traveled by rail or team throughout the Wil lamette Valley, into the Palouse country. Spokane district. Gran Seville country and the irrigated sections of Idaho, and also made a trip into Central Oregon, inspecting the Deschutes and Crooked River valleys. As a final result of his observations he secured control of several large tracts of land in the Willamette Valley which he plans to subdivide and induce Eastern settlers to occupy. "Back in our country," said Mr. Slocum yesterday, "it is the general impression that one cannot buy cheap land in the Willamette Valley, but must go into :he sagebrush districts of Oregon, Washing ton or Idaho. "This idea has been obtained, appar ently, from persons who have passed through the Willamette Valley on the trains and inquired the prices of near by lands or made note of the prices given on the signboards placed by real estate men near the railway rights-of-way. "Back in the foothills, however. I And that red soli land that will produce any thing in diversified crops .or fruits may be had for as low as $15 per acre. It Is close to the large markets of Portland and has the advantage of an attractive climate. On some of these lands there are now men who have been living in Missouri farmhouses, cultivating . small patches and making good livings for 40 years. This showed to my mind what the land will do, and I can Bee no reason why it should not be well settled and all cultivated. There are. of course, good lands in the other districts I visited and which would be attractive to a person who intended to farm them himself, but for my pur pose I found no better investments than those offered in the Willamette Valley." FROM EX-MAYOR LANE His Version of the Delay - at the Madison-Street Bridge. PORTLAND. July 28. (To the Editor.) My attention lias been called to an editorial n The Oregronian entitled, "Portland'a Br id e Plight." which, among other things, states that while serving as Mayor of this city I put oft the rebuilding of the Madison street bridge for months in & useless and deipagogue (sic vquabble with the streetcar company, thereby making trouble now for thousands of the river-crossing public" Following this. I am referred to as one of several "patriots" "who have jockeyed with the bridge business with various tricks and thereby caused annoyance and money loss to the residents of this city. and it is suggested that if I were to fail into the hands of & good strong fool-killer, profit would accrue to the community all of which Is interesting and even entertaining. The concli-siontdrawn from the reading of it by one not in possession of the facts would be that It mas vfue comment, and merited cen sure Justly visited upon me by an Impartial but Indignant observer of tne delays which have attended the construction of the Madison-street bridge. Assuming that The Oregon lan wished to be fair in the discussion of this su bject In respect to which assumption I will frank ly say that I have some doubt I will as sume further that The Oregonlnn Is In ig norance of the facts as they relate to the matter of this bridge. If I may be per mitted to do so I wilt set forth these facts for the information of such persons as may take interest in the matter. In this connection, would say and I invite The Oregoniaa to point out any error wiiich X make in my f'S'"inti thsr"wtnr Denver, J. Transue. sXr It the subject up in chronological order, it will be found that the charter amendment authorizing the city Council to sell bonds to build the new bridge, was passed by the people June 3, 1907, and that the Council took no action in the matter until Septem ber 9, 1908. some 15 months later, when It passed an ordinance authorizing such sale to be made. The next day, September 10, 1008, President Josselyn. of the Portland Railway, Iight & Power Company, wrote to mo as Mayor, protesting the ale of such bonds aa premature. September 11, 1908, two days after the ordinance was passed, acting through the Executive Board, as Mayor. I invited a proposal from the Port land Railway, Light St Power Company for the sale of its lease of the old Madison street bridge, as required by the amendment to the charter providing for the new bridge. September 14, 19o8. three days later. Presi dent Josselyn refused to make any pro posal or entertain any proposition looking to the surrender of his company's lease of the old bridge, or the making of a new lease on the new bridge, as required by the charter amendment. September 19, 190S, Ave days after the re fusal of the Portland Railway. Light A Power Company to comply with the terms of 'the charter amendment, acting again through the Executive Board. I directed the City Attorney to Institute legal proceedings to condemn the rights of the street railway company in the old bridge, and to prosecute the same to a final determination with all possible dispatch. At the same time, I asked the City Council also to .request City Attorney Kavanaugh to take such action. The City Council reerred the matter to its committee on judiciary and elections, and October 14, 1008, adopted that committee s report, which suggested that the Executive Board ascertain what would be a reasonable charge for the city to make to the street railway company for the privilege of operat ing streetcars on the new bridge. After doing so, a conference was held with the officers of the Portland Railway, Light A Power Company with the view of effecting a compromise of the matter. Inasmuch as the charter amendment spe cifically fixes the amount to be paid by the street railway company for the use of the new bridge at a sum not less than $15,000 a year and the officers of the company had refused to pay that sum, a compromise was not possible. In order, .however, to comply with the rule requiring compensation and as evidence of good faith on the part of the city, an offer of $1200 was made to the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company for all its rights oer the old bridge which at the time was in danger of falling down and the offer was rejected. Being unable to secure from the street railway company the terms specified by the chr.rter amendment, there was nothing fur ther to do but follow the procedure mapped out by the charter amendment, and await the result of the efforts of City Attorney Kavanaugh to secure an adjudication of the matter in the courts. April 12, 1909, some seven months after the matter was placed in his hands, the City Attorney reported against bringing a suit for condemnation of the street railway company's rights, and ad vised that the city proceed with the con struction of the bridge, leaving matters re specting the valuation of the franchise to lie in abeyance until some later time. Our hands now being free, there was left to the Executive Board and myself just two months and 18 days of time in which to secure the services of a competent engineer, get plans, advertise for and receive bids for the bridge and secure rights of way for the approaches to it. This we succeeded in doincr, and before my term of office expired we let a contract for the construction of the bridge under the terms of which It was to be finished at a date not later than February 24. Out of the time which elapsed between June S. lOOT, -when the charter amendment providing for the construction of the bridge became a law. and. June 34. 1900. when I retired from office, a period of 25 months, the City Council consumed over 13 months! City Attorney Kavanaugh seven months, and the Executive Board and myself had less than 90 days in which to settle questions of right of way and attend to the multitude of preliminary but necessary details preced ing the actual construction of the bridge, costing some $430,000. If there is in this record good and suffi cient evidence of my being a "demagogue." who was "Jockeying with the interests of the people." then I must confess that I am unconsciously a demagogue, was born one, and there is no hope of my recovery. If, on the other hand, the record shows that I used due diligence in the matter and acted not unwisely under the circumstances. The Oregonian's publicly uttered derogatory estimate of my oftlclal action was harsh and unwarranted, and if that "good, strong foolkiller," whose aid The Oregonian in vokes in behalf of the community, were to happen along he might find useful em ployment before he got around to me.

The Women of Woodcraft feel Che agree ment restrains a. number of- members from joining tbeir order, while the Wood men believe, as a general thing, that any agreement canceled will have the effect of further reducing their membership. Further heated sessions are promised over the legislative, amendments to come before the session. Although Boak end his board stand solid on these, the Insur gents intend taking issue on the ques tions, many of which are of a purely technical, nature. All indications are that both morning and afternoon sessions will be heated in the extreme. Some discussion of the press reports occupied the session and a delegate in formed the Portland, delegation that it wan within their power to prevent abso lutely any reports of the sessions be ing treated, particularly of the political squabbles. E. C. Kirkpatrick, of Dallas, replied. He said the Portland delegation could not control the papers, as they wanted the political news, and if they wanted it they would have it. Following the business sessions today, tomorrow will be devoted to a steamer trip on the steamer Bailey Gatzert to Hood River. This excursion was origi nally arranged for Tuesday, but owing to the crippling of the Charles R. Spen cer, was Indefinitely postponed.

NEL.SOX MAKES NEWSBOY GLAD Ex-Head Sentry of Woodmen Pays Dearly for Papers. He was only a little tattered news-bos-, but he approached F. O. Nelson, ex-head sentry of the Woodmen of the World, and begged him to buy a paper Wednesday night around the midnight hoars. "How much are they?" queried Kel son, who is one. of the popular men of the head camp session. "One cent," replied the kiddy. "X'll take the lot," said Nlson. "And Til give you 10 cents more if you will take and dump them in a waste-paper basket so no one else can sell them tonight." The boy disappeared. He returned with the papers gone. Kelson gave him the quarter. "Now, youngster, git," he said. He grabbed the boy by his shoulder, there was an ominous rip, a tiny shirt parted into two separate scraps and I an equally tiny newsboy sobbed with a reality that was not pretense. Nelson was sorry. But he made good On the sorry part by buying the boy a complete new outfit. There is a newsboy in Portland to day who is as happy as he is smart looking. CON'VEXTTOX GREAT SUCCESS Past Head Consul of Woodmen Lauds Work of Leaders. , That the convention of Woodmen ts in every way a perfect success, that the body of men is the best representa tive body that could be gathered to gether, is the opinion of M. T. Moses, past head consul, editor of the Pacific Woodman, and one of the best known authorities in America on the subject of fraternal Insurance.' Mr. Moses is known as the "patri arch of the order," although there is but little patriarchal in his appear ance. He has been a member of the Woodmen order since its inception and has held numerous offices. At present he acts as adviser to Head Consul Boak on matters of parliamentary etiquette, the consul asking his advice on im portant rulings. He often takes the chair at the sessions. "Personally I am strongly in favor of the men elected to office," said Mr. Moses at Woodmen headquarters, "but CLOTHING CO. 166-170 THIRD ST. that may be because I belong to that party. I believe the men elected are the best, but as I said, thai is because I helped to nominate them." - Asked to discuss the fraternal situa tion, Mr. Moses said he believed the recent series of articles against fra trenal bodies were inspired by the old line life insurance companies and were accordingly to be discredited. Asked regarding the' severance of the auxil ary. the Women of Woodcraft, Mr. Moses said it was his impression that the matter had only progressed so far that at the last grand circle of the women, it was moved and passed that he Woodmen should be asked to re scind the agreement which hitherto bound them. He said it was his Im pression the matter would not find fa vor with the Woodmen and he did not think the time had yet come when the women would challenge the order and refuse to be bound. "Were that to be done." 'he con cluded, "we could do nothing. We would have to abide by the situation." "The dean of the convention." That is what they call John K. Jeff ress, of Oakland. CaL, who is one of the oldest living Woodmen alive. Mr. Jeffress Is manager of a large Ban Francisco hardware house. This is the third session he has attended, al though he has not attended consecu tively. He is an officer of his local camp. It is almost a record for an ordinary delegate to attend three ses sions of the head camp. DEATH CALLS PIONEER Mrs. Sara Ashley Barker, Aged 83, Dies Suddenly.

That the city should own and oper ate a garbage-gathering: plant in con Junction with the new crematory, now under construction, is the opinion ot members of the City Board of Health. Recommendations for such a project will be made to the next meeting of the City Council by three members of the board, Dr. R. J. Chipman. rr. George B. Story and Dr. Alan W. Smith. The subject has been a matter of study by these physicians and con ditions In other cities have been in vestigated, with the result that the system generally Is considered a fail ure. It is pointed out that the collect ing of garbage by private individuals or firms is unsatisfactory in many ways, principally In the poor service that is alleged to obtain and in the alleged excessive charges exacted for carting the refuse away.
