fRK SDL DAILY CAPITA h JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON, SATTRDAV. MAY 13, 1911. HIS DEATH NOT SELF INFLICTED MUSE SAYS IHXTOIt KILLED HIMSELF. BIT COKOXEK SAYS "MURDEK" Nl'KSE TRIES TO KJLL HERSELF IIY TUIX1XG OX THE OAS. (EXITED FU11 LBASIO WtBI. New York, May 13. Alta Marhev ka, the nurse aide of Dr. W. R. C. Latson, wlv was found mysteriously shot to death In his Riverside Drive apartments here, attempted to com-1 mlt suicide today by taking gas. Found unconscious In the bath room 1 of tha house where she lived, with gas pouring from a Jet which she had -broken off, the girl was rescued bare-1 ly In time, and Is being held at the Washington Heights hospital. She I probably will recover. Latson taught Alta and.others, who were Influenced by his occultism, that there Is no such thing as death. When the dpctor was found dead Alta said he had merely chanrt'd his life's form, and she would rejoin him. When revived at the hospital today Bhe strenuously objected to the Inter ference with her suicide. "My Gourah, my God man,1' she said, "la floating in the cerulean sky wearing beautiful wings, and I want to Join him. But we wlU meet again. All that Is necessary Is that my soul keep In harmony with his. I did not kill Dr. Latson, but If he had lacked the, physical courage neceflsary when the time came to free his soul from Its bondage to the earthly clay, I would gladly have helped him to at tain eternity. I glory In the courage my Grturah showed when he fired the bullet Into his brain. He died as he had lived a matchless man. Despite the statement of the nurse, Dr. O'Hanlon, coroner's phy sician, is certain that Latson was not a suicide. He points out that the fatal bullet entered the physician's Jaw, and that the pistol which killed him was not held close enough to make a single powdar stain on the face. applying of the referendum to the appropriations made for Improve ments for the University of Oregon, the Oregon Agricultural College and the addition tp the capltol building, decided not to file them yesterday af ternoon, but to leave them with the secretary of state, and file them when the other petitions were secured. The petitions left with the secre tary of state contain between 7000 and 8000 signatures, and Parklapn asserted that he would have another containing about 3000 more by Mon day. These petitions attack the ap propriations made for the state uni versity. He also asserted that before May 19, he wuld have on file with the secretary of state petitions having sufficient names to referendum the appropriations made for the Oregon Agricultural College and the addi tion to the state capltol building. He carries with him an Interview which he handed to certain news papers characterizing the means whereby these appropriations had been secured in the legislature as "log rolling contests,' and eulogizes the referendum laws. FARMERS PROGRAM IS NOT OF HIS MAKING WOODROW WILSON SAYS HE KNOWS NOTHING OF WHOM HE IS TO MEET. AM) IT IS OF NO IMPORTANCE, ANYWAY", WHICH IS CORRECT. AGAINST MEASURE REFERENDUM PETITIONS ARE NOT YET FILED After an, examination of the law appllcablo to the filing of referendum petitions, H. J. Parklson, who has been supervising the circulation of petitions having for their object the Washington, May 13. A big upris ing of farmers against the Canadian reciprocity agreement marked this week's hearings before the senate finance committee. Delegates from Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Min nesota, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsyl vania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Maine protested against the passage of the measure. Tha National Grange, with former Governor Bachelder, of New Hamp shire, as Its principal worker, Is in the forefront of the opposition to the Presidents' pet, scheme. WIDE AWAKE DEMOCRAT IS NOW A LAWYER rjNITID FBESS LEASED WIHB.1 Seattle, Wash., May 13. Hugh C. T,odd, avowed candidate for the Dem ocratic nomination for governor, was admitted to practice law late yester day. He will hang out his shingle In Seattle. Todd was a representative from Whitman county, was one of the youngest members of the last two sessions of the legislature, and was one of the keenest debaters and most able speakers there. He is a progressive. UNITED FBESS LE1SBD WIRE. Los Angeles, Cal., May 13. If Woodrow Wilson, governor of New Jersey, and prominently mentioned as Democratic candidate for president in 1912, is to be entertained by "the Interests'' during his stay in San Francisco, and his time there monop olized by the stalwarts of the South ern Pacific and the United Railroads, to the exclusion of the progressive Democrats, he is tha victim of clrcum- staces. This, briefly, Is his own explanation of the peculiar predicament which It has been predicted1 Governor Wilson will find himself In when he arrives in the northern metropolis. "I have not the slightest Idea, ex cept from newspaper advices,'' he said today, "who I am to meet at lunch eons and dinners arranged In my honor In San Francisco. ' In that city, as in every other city I am to visit, the arrangement of the local program has been entirely In the hands of Pricetom men. That is as far as my knowledge of the plans for my en tertainment goes." "But," continued Wilson, "It makes not the slightest difference who I am to meet. The Important thing Is what I am going to say. My person al views and purposes are fully re vealed lni my public addresses." Wilson said that he was a warm friend of Charles N. Black, president of the San Francisco Princeton club, and chairman of the reception com mittee. That Black happens to be general manager of the United Rail roads should make no difference, Wil son believes. He said he would not entertain the belief that anyone had deliberately planned to capture him for the "reactionaries," of whom he Is supposed, to be an avowed foe. ASYLUM DAMAGED Luck Is a good thing to have, but you are lucky If you can hitch up with It. "MADE IN OREGON" IS GOOD ENOUGH Wei notice that some merchants in other cities are using considerable space advertising "Made in Oregon" goods. That Is as it should be. The merchant must know that his Indi vidual prosperity Is to a great extent dependent upon the prosperity of the state at large, and if Oregon manu facturers are patronized', that it will mean great payiolls, and greater pay rolls mean a larger degree of prosper ity for every man, woman and child in Oregon. BY BLAZE SOUTH WING DAMAGED BY FIRE STARTING IX LINEN ROOM PATIENTS ALL TAKEN OUT SAFELY CONVICTS GAVE SUB STANTIAL AID LOSS $15,000. Presumably, originating from de fective electric wiring, or from a match, carried by a rat, a fire broke out In the linen room In the south wing of the State Hospital tor the In sane, Just a little before 7 o'clock last evening, and before it could be ex tinguished it spread to wards 16. 17 and 18, causing damage to the extent of about $15,000. There were con fined in the wards about 150 woman patients, and while, at the sight of fire, some of them became frenzied, the attendants were equal to the emer gency and succeeded in getting all of them out of the wards unharmed. One patient was singed but only slightly. Flames Envelop Hallway. The linen room is located directly opposite the wards, and so rapid was the spread of the fire that it had hardly been discovered before the hallway between the two was envel oped in Bmoke and flames, and this shut off egress from the wards In this direction, in the saving of the pa tients. The attendants took them out thrpugh the side entrances, and, while this work was Inconvenient, and the work slow, their labors were crowned with success. The smoke and flames also cut off the fire apparatus In the hallway, so that It could not be used there. Some of the patients, upon see ing the smoke and flames in the hall way, became frantic, but the attend ants were1 able to manage them, and In a little more than an hour after the fire broke out most of them were sleeping in Improvised quarters pre pared for them. Convicts Fight Fire. Just as soon as the Are was dis covered Superintendent James, of the penitentiary, was notified and he re sponded with about 15 trusty con victs, who. under tha the superintendent and the guards, did good work In fighting the flames. The city fire department also re sponded and did its usual good work in combatting and extinguishing the flames. Some of the patients at the asylum also assisted, and all combined made a strong fighting bnigade. Con siderable time, however, was con sumed, owing to the distance, by the local company and the convicts in f 47.7 r,T., 77m i .mm You Are Invited.
