HORRIBLE
MURDER AT
PORTLAND
Nathan Wolff Killed in
Pawnshop-StruGk in the
NeGk and Head and
Chopped to ieces .
PORTLAND, May 2.' Detectives are
working tn solve tin mystery of the
horrible muni or of Niithun Wolff, who
was killed in his jewelry ami pawn
broker's shop last night. So far it has
been an unsuccessful search, as there
is no definite elew. Witnesses have
been found who saw a man in front of
the store nbout 6:30 o'clock, whom the
police believe was a lookout. The man
stood in the pelting rain without pro
tection and attracted attention for his
disregard for n soaking.
Another witness is located who about
the same hour saw three men inside the
shop. A bloody handkerchief, a blood
stained collar and a brown necktie wore
found on the premises, but are of little
apparent value so far. Beyoud these
meager clews nothing lias been discov
ered which offers a hope that the mur
-derous robbers will be captured.
From the best information obtainable
the robbers secured about f.lSuq worth
of jewelry and money. What puzzles
the police i tho fact that after shoot
ing Wolff fatally, in the neck, the rob
bers dragged him in the back room and
hacked his head to pieces with a
hatchet. The fiendishness of tile as
sault leads the police to believe the mo
tive of tho crime- had in it a good por
tion of revenge.

WASHINGTON. 1. C, May 2,
Should William Jennings Itryan fail to

make him the n mi nee of the Demo

v It is said that Mr. Itryan has in

That Brvan would be able to accom

no doubt in the minds of the wise ones.

Morris is satisfied that he did his

Mrs. Longworth has a high power

Policeman Morris declares she appears

Small Appropriation for
Crater Lake Park Causes
IndignationOnly Tenth
of What Was Promised.
The cutting down of the Crater Luke
Park appropriation to $"000 by tho
congressional committee has aroused in
tense indignation throughout Southern
Oregon. Superintendent Arant estimat
ed that the least he could get along
witn was $lo,son. and he was allowed
about a third of the amount, which will
stop all work of improvement on roads
this summer.
When Secretary J. R. Garfield vis
ited Medford Inst summer he promised
members of the Commercial club thai
he would co-operate with the people id'
Jackson count v and endeavor to secure
as much money to place the road
through the forest reservation in good
condition, as the people raised for the
road to Prospect. It was estimated
that $0,000 was needed in building and
repairing roads, one-half of which
would be furnished by the government.
Instead of $:to,0oo, measly $:tiMI0 will
be appropriated.
It is not too late to secure aa ap
propriation and the ( 'ommerrial club
committee lias sent telegrams urging ac
tion to Washington. Similar protests
have been sent from Klamath Falls and
other Oregon towns. The messages
read as follows:
"Secretary Garfield, Washington, D.

CLYDE SHIPBUILDERS LOCK
OUT SIX THOUSAND MEN
GLASGOW, May 2. The Clyde whip
builders today locked out fi'K'O wood
workers. This measure is the outcome
of n dispute between the shipbuilding
mpIovers and the retention ami .Mu
workers of the northeast coast, who
struck rather than accept the reduction
in wages, and who have not been able
to get the federation to arbitrate their
demands. Lockouts have been decided
upon all shipbuilding yards of th
Cnited Kingdom, and workmen of other
branches will gradually be locked out.
It seems as if the prospect would mefin
complete stoppage of the shipbuilding
industry, n condition that will nffert
directly not less than 2'o,00o men.
TIREY FORD ACQUITTED
OF BRIBING SUPERVISOR
4-
SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.
Tirey L. Ford, chief cou'usel of
the Cnited Railroads and former
attorney-general of California,
was acquitted today of the
charge of the bribery of Former
Supervisor Daniel Coleman to
secure his vote in favor of the
trolley franchise. This makes
the second acquittal of Ford in
the- series of three trials.
Twelve indictments still remain
against him. The jury was out
about two minutes.
The case- against Ford was
weakened when Abe Ruef, Pat
rick Calhoun refused to testifv
aml Thornton Multahy went into
hiding and could not be located.
Higher Food Tariff put into
Effect-Fresh Meat Charged
from Three to Ten Cents.
WASHINGTON, May 2. It appears
likely that the anticipated increase in
railroad freight rates is about to be
made. A few days ago n member of
the interstate commerce commission ex
pressed the opinion within three or four
months, unless there was a decided im
piovcmcut in railroad conditions, it
would probably be necessary for com
mon carriers to either increase rates or
reduce wages of employes.
The railroads of the southeastern ter
ritory have filed with the interstate
commerce commission tariffs effective
June 1, increasing the rates for fresh
meals materially. The proposed rates
are to be effective on meats from uorth
and west at Ohio and Mississippi river
crossings and an amount of from It to
10 cents per 100 pounds will be charged
on fresh meats.
This is -the first material raise in
rates on foodstuffs the railroads have
made in many years, and means that
ousumers must pay from 1 to 2 cents
a pound more for meats. The increase
is looked upon as a feeler of public
sentiment in view of a general increase
in rates for all commodities.

R. H. Whitehead and Par
ty Return from Inspec
tion of Wasson Springs
Ganyon.
That the city of Medford was boil
ed when il entered iuto an agreement
lo purchase Wasson . Springs canyon
water from M. F. Handley is the ir,o
ion of R. II. Whitehead, B. F. Adkius,
S. L. Bennett anil Volney Webster, who
have just returned front an inspection
of the proposed water source of supply.
'We found between ."U0 and fJOO
inches of water at the proposed point
of diversion, ' ' said M r. Whitehead,
"and went up to tho head of the can
yon. The water does not have its
source in springs, but entirely from
seepage down (he steep sides of the can
yon. There is no snow at the heud of
the canyon and none ot Mount Pitt
melting snow finds ils way in Wasson
iiiyon, as it is not in its watershed.
Willow creek, which is separated from
Wasson canyon by a sleep ridge, gets
Mount Pitt drainage.
' Near the upper end of the -canyon
the water is warm and has a strong iron
taste. There is a mini lake or lagoon
aboul ?too or 100 yards long, 50 feet
ross, out of which a stream six inches
wide runs. This water is-already col
ored from stagnation. Half way up
tin six miles of canyon the stream has
dwindled to ."0 inches flow.
"The waler committee only went
part way up I his canyon. We saw their
tracks, Il is evident that o summer
the total flow wilt not begin to equal
even I he ."oo inches tho city has con
liaeleil for, and Mr. Hundley probably
figures on dropping enough water out
of his new irrigating ditch from Little
Unite to make up Hie def iciency.
"I can take ifGO.OoO :m. beat this

they si Id have iuvestigalcd the mut
