Acting upon a report submitted by
an Investigating committee compos
ed of Attorney W. W. Cardwell, Dr.
K. L. Miller and Southern Pacific
Agent L. B. Moore, the members of
the local lodge of Moose last night
decided to purchase the property at
present belonging to the K. of P.
lodge, and situated opposite the Mc
Clallen hotel at the corner of Jackson
and Douglas streets, and the adjoin
ing lot, owned by August Schloemann
and occupied by thei second hand
store of Powell & Hamilton.
The two lots combined will give
the Moose building a frontage of 80
iet'l uu julhihiii auu .nam bucvib auu
1 02 feet on Douglas street. The price
Is said to approximate $10,000. The
property is surrounded by paved
streets and cement sidewalks and
was solected from eight proposals of
fered for consideration.
After adopting the recommenda
tions of the investigating committee
it "was decided to close the deal at
once In order that the lodge may
commence the erection of a beautiful
$70,000 home within the next few
weeks. To this end, the members of
the investigating committee were re
tained to act as the general perman
ent building committee. Attorney W.
W. Caldwell, chairman of the com
mittee, this morning informed a News
representative that the abstracts of
the properties would be examined
wihin ho next few days, and if found
satisfactory, the first installment of
$1,000 would then be tendered to the
present owners of the land. The re
mainder of the consideration will be
nald in semi-annual installments.
The building commlttoe will also
solicit plans and specifications for
the contemplated lodge structure
within the next week. Tentative plans
Indicate that the building will be
four Btories high, with basement, and
will be constructed of pressed brick.
The basement will contain a gymna
sium, Bwimmlng 'tanks, private baths.
Imrber shop, and lust' but not least a
complete natatnrlum. The latter will
lie 00x100 feet in dimensions and
will be strictly up-to-the-minute In
every particular. The several base
ment apartments will havo tile j
floors, and entrance will be gained j
by a spacious marble stairway lcad-j
intf from .iaekson Btreet. J
The first floor will be divided into
ihrce store rooms, all of which will
front on Jackson street. Especially
arranged to meet the demands of
'i"'A-J 'I
i : til
ft IS"
merchants, It Is the belief of the
building committee that these rooms
will be rented without the least dif
ficulty. . The second floor will be divided
into offices, and in addition will
contain batchelor quarters for the
convenience and pleasure of lod.e
members.
The third floor will probably be
devoted exclusively to offices, while
the fourth floor will contain the
lodge and club rooms. Al
though the plans are as yet of a ten
tative nature, they indicate that the
building will be one of the finest in
Soutern Oregon and will add mater
ially to the appearance of the vicin
ity in which it is to be erected.
As soon as the plans and specifi
cations of the building can -be pre
pared they will be submitted to the 1
lodge for final acceptance. The ac- l
tlon of the lodge In accepting or re-!
jectlng the plans will probably de
pend upon the recommendation of ,
the building committee which has tho '
preliminary work in charge. I
Other .than discussing the ne v j
building, the lodge last night admit-1
ted 71 new members. To date the
local lodge has .over 400 members
and Is in the best of financial condi
tion. HISIKP ITK.M8 FROM

EUGENE, Or., Aug. 21. Neither

has yet discovered the identity of
the murderer of Mildred Green, the
12-year-old daughter of Rev. H. A.
Green, a Baptist minister of this
city. The fathor today Is muttering
prayers for' strength for himself and
for mercy for the murderer. Friends

grief.

Rev. M. A. Green, a Baptist minister,
residing on West Sixth street. Eu
gene, was murdered some time Mon
day night and the crime Is a mystery
as far as the Identity of tho murderer
Is concerned. The little girl's throat
was cut from ear to ear and hor head
almost severed from the body ylth a
razor or some other sharp instru
ment. Her father, the only other oc
cupant of tho house, was steeping di
rectly beneath Mildred's room, but he
declares that he heard nothing above
him during the night nnrt was horri
ded to find his little girl cold In
death and lying In' a pool of her own
blood on her bed at 8 o'clock yester
day morning. .
The two had spent tho evening to
gether in the living room. The fath
er was reading while the daughter
played the piano, and at 10 o'clock
they said their prayers together and
retired to separate rooms. Mildred
had asked to be called early next
morning, as they were to do their
weekly washing together, but Mr.
Green, who arose at 6:30, did not
go upstairs to awaken her, deciding
to let her sleep longer. He had start
ed a tire, hud put the washing on the
stove and had started to do some of
the work, when at 8 o'clock he
mounted the stairs to call Mildred.
Receivlug no answer to his calls, he
entered her room and was horror
