On Man Killed, 31 Injured at Portland
Monday Morning.
lii-tlnnd, FeK 7.-One man wa killed
and 31 persons Injured, some of them
fatally, by the wrecking of a car of the
Portland Consolidated Hallway Company
on tho Montavllla line, at the corner of
Kast Twenty-eighth and Gllsan street,
at 7:20 o'clock yesterday morning. The
accident occurred on a short curve at
the base of a Bleep Incline. The car'
momentum was so great that It was un
able to make the turn and was over
turned. There were 65 passenger on the
car at the time of the accident, the ma
Jorlty being business men and employes
on their way to work In the heart of the
city.
The dead man la Rudolph Janson, aged
25 years, single, an employe of the Stand
ard Box Factory, who resided with the
family of J. P. Peaburge near where the
Montavllla car turns on the Base Line
road. He arrived four weeks ago from
the East and haa no relatives in this sec
tion of the country. He haa a brother in
Spirit Falls, Wisconsin, who has been
I notified.
At the time of the catastrophe the car
was running at a high rate of speed.
Coming down East Gllsan street from
Montavllla, the car tracks follow a sue
cession of grades, at the baae of which
Is a sharp curve aa the tracks turn on
East Twenty-eighth street. The illfated
car started from the top of the grade,
where the last passenger was taken on
prior to the accident, and gradually
gathered momentum as it approached the
bottom of the hill.
It is a question whether the rootorman
lost control of tho car or whether he did
dot use the usual precautions until it
was too late. Five blocks from the
scene of tho accident tho'car was running
at a speed greatly In excess of the rate
specified in the city ordinances govern
ing street-car traffic. One passenger,
who stood on the front platform of the
car beside the motorman, declares that
no effort was made to govern thhe speed
of the car until It was almost rounding
thhe curve.

FARMERS CAN ALL TALK.
Many Mutual Line Are Being Operated
Throuflhout County.
A net -work of rural telephone line,
that extend to all iiect Ion of the county.
'I being Introduced In Clnckwrnaa county.
I here are several mutual companies In
the county and while each haa an Indi
vidual line and I operated on an Inde
pendent haul, un arrangement ha been
made among moat of the companies, by
which the patron of one line or system
are allowed the free use of other lines
with which connections may be made.
There now exists a practically complete
circuit of the county by mean of these
telephone line, one of which cover the
west end of the county, extending across
the Willamette river from Can by thence
to Willamette and to Oregon City.
Elmer Veteto, president of the New
Rra Farmers' Mutual Telephone Com
pany, was In the city Wednesday and
reported good progress and excellent
prospect for his company which has
completed the construction of a line
from Canby northward to a point this
side of New Era. The line will be ex
tended to thl city as soon as the pros
pective patron at thl end of the line
give the project encouragement. The
New Era Company now ha fifteen ub
scriber between Canby and New Era
and other application are being received.
Inexpensive Is the construction of these
mutual lines. For instance, the cost of
the New Era Company' line I costing
but about $15 per mile. This expense is
borne eipially by those sharing the bene
fit of thhe service, each sharing the coat
of Installing and performing an equal
amount of labor. For the present the
several companies in the vicinity of Can
by will conduct a local office at that
place, Frank Zollner being In charge.
These companies are all organized on
a basis and are governed in a manner
that will prevent any one or more per
son acquiring a controlling Interest In
the Improvement The crvice la In
tended entirely for the benefit and con
venience of the eubscrlbers and will be
furnished at actual cost. Under the con
stitution by which the companies are
governed. It la provided that no member
of the corporation shall own to exceed
one share of stock.
A consolidation of the various inde
pendent companies, It la believed, will
eventually result. Such a course it is
agreed will facilitate the reaching of
Portland and the larger cities through
the system and this I the ultimate ob
ject of the enterprise.

The Indictment of Judge Tanner is the
most sensational returned for some time,
for it brings before the public with un
expected suddenness the name of a man
heretofore entirely unconnected by ru
mor or fact with the far-reaching frauds
now being unearthed. The indictment
further charges that it was loyalty to
his partner, Senator Mitchell, and a wish
to spare him from the shame of the sec
ond Indictment returned a week ago
which caused him to attempt to hide, ac
cording to the allegations of the indict
ment, the true state of affairs as exlst

HARRIS' CASH REGISTER.
Covers Proprietor and Af(tant With
Cun Probably Work of a
Professional.
A bold robbery was committed In thla
city early Monday evening.
Mis Harris, who conducts a grocery
store at the corner of Main and Four
teenth street, wa preparing to close
the place of business shortly before 7
o'clock, the proceeds of the day's sale

sent to an up-town store and there de
posited, when a masked robber entered
the store door and, pointing a gun at
Mis Harris and A. R. Doollttle, tha
clerk, who were the only occupants of
the store, commanded them to reraaia
standing where they were.
The man, whose face wa carefully
masked by a large black silk handker
chief, walked behind the counter, opened
the cash register and took therefrom
about $2 In change that remained, re
marking: "You don't seem to have much money
tonight."
When told that the proceeds of the
day's business had been taken to an up
town store, the robber demended of hi

ing to the store's shelving, he helped
himself to three packages of tobacco and,
coming from behind the counter, bad
the two frightened store people a pleas

darkness.
The police were promptly notified, but
Miss Harris was unable to give a defi
nite description of the man whoso Iden
tity was entirely concealed by a mask,
an overcoat and a cap that he wore, the
latter being pulled down over the eyes.
The robber was a tall man and certainly
performed the Job with the air and com
posure of a professional.
While thhe store is several blocks dis
tant from the business section of the
city, it is located in a thickly settled
residence district, and it is remarkable
that the robber was not Interrupted dur

Molalla Grange No. 310, the outlook of
building a Pomona Grange Hall for the
future home of Pomona In Clackamas
county was discussed, and too with the
prize wagon as the only neuclus of roll

Incidentally asked him what sort of
barrel he had any way to begin with. In
formed the barrel builder after due re
flection, that the "bunghole was all ha
had to start the structure off with."
So likewise the proceeds of a "seventy
dollar wagon" would only be a "bunghole"

years to become a "white elephant" and
