ST. JOHNS REVIEW VOLUME 15 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1919. NUMBER 3C A Tragic Occurrence This community was shocked Monday morning when it was learned that Al Harris had shot his wife to death and had then fired a shot into his own head that ended hid life, the shooting taking place at their home, 417 Bristol street. The real cause for the tragedy is more or less uncertain. It is said that Mr. Harris has been acting a little queer of late, and it is presumed that in n moment of insanity ho committed the frightful deed. It is said, how over, that the deed was pre meditated, because Harris had made out a will n few days pre vious in which he willed his property to his children. The shooting took n ace park in the morning in tho bed room where Mr. and Mrs. Harris slept. Tho former had risen and his wife was in bed. The couple is snid to have begun quarreling ovorBometning. Rose, the 12 year old daugh tor, ncaru mo quarrel nnu ran into tho room to protect her mother. Tho father had drawn his revolver from his hip pocket and was striding up and down tho room with tho weapon his hand. "Don't you kill her," shout ed Ro30. "Only God has a right to tako hor life," The girl seized the father's arm, but ho thrust her out of the room and she heard the shoot ing a? outstdo other nnd K alio stood shivering tho door. Tho two ildren, Mary, aged 9, nonu, aged 7, were up bed. tors heard tho shooting and called tho police. Deputy Coroner Gootsch took charge of the mother's body and tho Am bulanco Service Company took Mr. Harris to St. Vincent's hos pital, whero he died at 7:10 A. M. Al Harris was n well known resident or St. Johns, coming here somo years ago and oper ating tho tobacco storo nt the corner of Jersey and Altn s trocts. He has n brother living at Rock Crook. Idaho. Albert I I arris was aged GO years. Mrs. arris formerly lived at Man- P n, Or., where sho had n sister, rs. C. E. Molette. Sho was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Roadormel, who llvo near Milwaukic, Oregon. Tho funeral services over tho remains of Mrs. Harris were held at Miller & Trncoy'a parlor Wcdnesdny afternoon at 1 o'clock, Dr. E. P.Borden preach ing tho sermon. Mrs. Harris was born in Springwater, Oregon, in 1888. The two younger children will mako their homo with their grandparents on their ranch near Milwaukee. Rose, tho eld est child, will reside with her aunt Mrs. F. A. Nowman, at Portownsend, Wash., who will educate her and provide a good home. Will Make a Survey One of the first official acts pertaining to establishing parks and playgrounds in the city by City Commissioner Pier, will be a survey of sites which the voters at tho recent elec'ion passed upon by a large majority in it3 favor. These sites will he established in close proximity to the public schools, so as, to afford plenty of playground for the school children. Seven acres of ground directly in front of tho Franklin school will in all probability be converted into a handsome park and the Al bina, Peninsula and Irvington districts will also be assured of additional recreation beauty spots. The Irvington Club has made a proposition to Commis sioner Pier that if the city would take over the Club's in debtedness of $15,000 the city could have it and it is very likely that Mr. Pier will accept the offer. As soon as the City Planning Commission has made its final recommendations and report, Mr. Pier will immediately pro ceed to notify the Park Bureau, which is mow in his department, to make all necessary arrange ments to clear off the grounds and put them in condition be fore the rainy season sets in. Mr. Peter Mcintosh, the pur chasing agent for the City, de clared in open meeting before the Council last week, that ow ing to a "Gentlemen's Agree ment" between certain business firms in this city, he is unable to buy supplies as cheap under the competitive system which the ordinance provides as in the open market Whatever re- Accident Results Fatally A serious accident in which young St. Johns peoplo were in volved took place at Lombard and Greeley streets early Tugs- day morning. Tho following ac count of tho tragic affair is tak en irom Wednesday's Oregon ian: A motorcycle carrying four persons early yesterday collided with a milk wagon at Greeley and Lombard streets, with the result that Mrs. Ethel Hughes, zi, oi ioud unn street, was fatally injured and Mrs. Nora Bollman, 28, of 1817 Drummond street, was serious y niurod. Mrs. Hughes died on tho way to a nospittu. i no women wore on tho motorcycle with Rnlnh Bed- on, 19,of 405 Alta Btreet and Roy ivussey, za, ot tiuz Charleston street, both of whom escaped with alight injuries. Beden was driving tho machine while sitting on Massoy's lan. Mrs. Hughes was on the tandem and Mrs. Bollman on tho handle bars. Tho collision threw Mrs. r I it m ungues unucr tnc icct o: n horso attached to tho milk wagon and tho horso kicked her in the head. Sho died of a fractured skull on tho wuy to the hospital. Mrs. Bollmnn has cuts and bruises and pro bably internal injuries, although authorities at St. Vincent's hos pital last night said the extent of her injuries was uncertain. Beden told the police that the party hud been riding around tho St. Johns district since 11 P. M. Ho was taking tho woman home, he said, when the milk wngon suddenly appeared on Greeley street. Ho snid tho wagon stopped in tho middle of tho street, and started up as he was riding around it. The front wheel of tho motorcycle ran under tho body of the wagon, Mrs. Bollman was crushed be tween tho handlebars and tho wagon. Beden bumped his head on tho wagon with such force that ho was dnzed. Masscy was thrown from his seat but had no serious hurts. Patrolman Fleming, who arrested Beden, and W. H. Beck, fireman, who witnessed tho accident, say the driver of tho milk wngon went on n few minutes after the ac cident. He had not reported to polico at n lato hour yesterday. Coroner Smitii will hold an in quest tonight to fix responsi bility for tho wreck. Mrs. Hughes was born in Kelso, Wash. She had lived in Oregon 14 years. Sho was work- ng for the Standard Box com pany, iter misuand, uvcrett Hughes, her pnrents, Mr. and Mrs. W F. Gross, und three sisters and a brother survive her. Funeral services will be held in Finley's chapel tomorrow at 2:30. Interment will be in Rose City cemetery. course the City Commissioners will take in regard to this mat ter is problematical, as the ten dencies of the times is to organ ize and rcorgnnizo not only nmong employers, but also amontr employees. Consequently it terminates in an endless chain, and as is always the case from past experience, it is on ly a question of time when it will eventually run its course and disintegrate from its own opulence and "wnntof Balance," When combinations.nssociations. and organizations become selfish, greedy and arrogant they are a detriment to the interests of society and usually find their level, and whenever thoy do, Public Opinion sends for the Undertaker to remove the mains to the scrap heap of ocuous desuetude, lnen, and then only, will reason and san- ty be restored to its normal bal ance. The City Commissioners have appointed a comm ttee to make thorough nspcction of the water front ns a result of the re cent fire destroying over $100.- 030 worth of property. The com-. mittee consists of G. li. Hegardt Engineer for the Do;k Commis sion, City Engineer Laurgaard, Fire Marshal Grenfell, Build ing Inspector Plummer and W. A. Eatchel for tho county ard H. P. Boardman representing the Fire Underwriters. There is no doubt but that the City Council will adopt any recom mendations the Committee may see lit to mane lor removing the "eye-sore" which confronts the Easl-sider and which is a open door" of the West-sider.
