$6,000,000 Plan
To Improve Line
Of S. P. Is Rumor
Plans for a $6,000,000 appropriation
by the Southern Pacific for the chang
es in its main line tracks on the sec
tion from Portland south toward Ore-
e-nn City through the Holgate district,
ara snorted unofficially. The chang
es would involve the elevation of the
S. P. tracks in Portland, the tunnel
ing through under Milwaukie avenue
- in the Holgate district and the con
struction of a track parallel with the
t n T. & P Oreeon Citv line, it is
understood.
This change would give the rail
roadthe advantage of eliminating a
number of bad crossings which exist
a nronpnt sin A whirh have been a fac
tor in cutting down the speed which
is .made on both north and south
hnimH nms between here and Port
land.
Although officials of the company
are silent on the matter the report
has leaked out in Portland that more
than three quarters of a. million has
been spent by Claude Starr, Portland
realty broker, in the securing of prop
ortv artiacent to the S. P. tracts in
the district in which the proposed im
provement is talked. It is regarded
as probable that a definite statement
on the question is being withheld
pending the decision upon the unmer
ger with the Central Oregon lines.
Although Ben C. Dey, Southern Pa
cific attorney, continued his attitude
of aloofness when queried about the
report, ni.t silence during the last two
weeks since the first reports of ' the
options bein? obtained by Mr. Starr
has 'ed to. the belief that the company,
is undoubtedly behind Mr. Starr in
making the deal He refused to dis
cuss the report of the appropriation
yesterday, ana other officials of the
company had evidently not been ap
prised of the plans.

SPECIFIC CHARGES HELD
RECOUNT REQUIREMENT
List of Contested Votes Must
Be Backed Up By Reasons
Is Decision of Circuit Court
PORTLAND, Aug. 5 Ben V. Ol
cott leads Charles Hall by one vote
in the precincts of the state in which!
a recount has been held thus far. The
lead of eight ballots by Hall the first
day of the check of precincts in
Multnomah county was cut down to
four yesterday, with the result that
the lead of five votes obtained in
Marion county by Governor Olcott
gives him the edge on the contest by
a single vote.
Thirty-nine precincts were checked
yesterday, leaving 65, or less - than
one-half, yet to be canvassed of the
135 questioned by . the Hall forces.
There has yet to crop up a single in
stance of palpable fraud or stuffed
ballot boxes.. So slight have been the
errors disclosed in the recount and
so evenly divided among the candi
dates are they that they have yet to
be ilassified" as any1-'-" but honest
mistakes.
PORTLAND, Aug. 5. Before the
blanket charges of improper voting as
filed Friday on behalf of Charles Hall
in the gubernatorial recount contest,
are acted upon by the court, the Hall
forces must supply details of the spe
cific charges against each of the 300
persons named in the complaint.
This decision was handed down this
morning by Judges Bingham and Kel
ly, of the Marion county circuit court,
who are sitting in Portland to consid
er the Multnomah county phases of
the recount.
Jay S. Bowerman, representing Gov
ernor Olcott in the recount, made the
motion, immediately after the list
was filed, that the contestant be re
quired to specify whether the alleged
legal voter is a non-resident, an alien
or otherwise fraudulent.
The judges, after considering the
motion, agreed with the contestant,
specifying also That "the same require
ment be made if the Olcott forces
should file similan lists of alleged il
legal voters.
The recount at 11 o'clock this niorn
ing showed a net loss of one vote for
Hal from the gain of 8 shown Friday
afternoon. Fifteen precincts had been
recounted at that time. In precinct
44 Olcott lost one; in 51. Olcott gain
ed one; in 56 Hall lost one. This re
duces Hall's net recount gain in the
state at large to two votes.
3 STILLS ARE TAKEN BY
SHERIFFINSINGLE RAID
Two Men in Jail in Default of
$500 Bond Each; Trial On
Monday for Offenses Set.
One of the most successful moon
shine raids on record here in the past
several months was made Saturday
afternoon, when Sheriff W. J. Wilsori
and two deputies confiscated three
stills on two ranches less than a mile
and a half from Oregon City.
The Adam Hodel farm and the J
Boehly ranch on the South End road,
where the highway turns toward Mt.
Pleasant, were raided. A ten gallon,
Zimmerman patent still was found on
Hodel's place together with 3 gal
lons of moonshine. The still was lo
cated in the barn. On the Boehly
ranch two stills were found disman
tled, parts in the home and parts in
the barn. Three gallons of liquor
were taken. ,
Hodel and Boehly are in jail in de
fault of $500 bail each. The sheriff
holds the opinion that the arrest of
the two men will further clear up
certain facts in connection with a case
in which a local Main street grocer
was arrested three weeks ago.
W. W. Davis was arrested ' at his
ranch on the Parkplace Carver road'
for possession of 30 gallons of corn
mash.
All three cases will be tried Monday

SUPREME COURT
APPEAL DELAYS
HECKERJfANGfNG
Stay of Execution Granted by
Judge Campbell Pending
Outcome, of Proceedings

YOUTH BEING HELD
ON MURDERERS' ROW
New Angle Taken in Trial for
Death of Portland Musician
At Clackamas April 16.
The execution of Russell Hecker,
convicted slayer of Frank Bowker,
was stayed today through a formal
order issued by trial judge J. U. Camp
bell. The delay was granted pending
an appeal to the supreme court, form
al notice for which was filed by Heck
er's three attorneys.
Hecker was sentenced to hang on
September 22, but the order entered
yesterday will hold up the date for
the execution of the judgment, Heck
er is at present quartered in murder
er's row in the state penitentiary.
The appeal to the supreme court
was taken following the failure of an
effort to secure a mw trial here.
Hecker's attorneys had been given un
til September 5 to complete their bill
of exceptions on appeal.
Hecker, 24-year-old Portland youth,
was convicted of one of the most sen
sational murders in the crime annals
of the county for a number of years.
On the night of Easter Sunday he
took a Portland musician, erstwhile
bootlegger, out to view a cache of
whiskey, and shot him, so the jury de
cided, in cold blood to steal the few
hundred dollars the man had on his
person. Hauling the .bloodstained
body in the back of a light touring
car, he carried it through Oregon
City from "Clackamas station, where
the crime was committed, to Albany.
j There he placed it in a hop sack and
ilmbw it mio me uaiayuma river.
Hecker "was convicted here July
after a trial which lasted an even
week. The case evoked considerable
interest for the reason that the hand
of the. defense was hidden throughout
the entire proceeding until the de
fendant himself took the stand and
pleaded that he shot the man in self
defense.
New Secretary
For Commercial
Club Now Sought
Sam H. Clay, executive secretary
of the local commercial club since
the membership campaign more than
three months ago, tendered his reslg-
nation to the board of governors of
the club following an executive ses-
sion Friday afternoon
Announcement that a new secretary
will be employed as soon as a suitable
man can be secured, was made by the
board.
A number of members of the board
at the meeting' protested against the
manner in which the office was being
handled. Clay objected to the state
ments that he had given more atten-
tion to the promotion of personal mat
ters than to working for the club.
New Job Is Taken
Clay, according to his announce
ment following the resignation, will
become sales manager of the Automat
ic Fire Detector Company, Inc., a new
Oregon City manufacturing concern,
Clay's resignation, placed "at the
pleasure of the board," is effective

ident J. E. Hedges, and directors T.
W. Sullivan, O. E. Freytag, Al Price,
M. D. Latourette, O. D. Eby, C. H.
Dickey, Ralph Shepherd and Elbert
Charman.
During the period until a new sec
retary is secured, President Hedges
will be in active charge of the club's
work. The club rooms proper will
remain in the charge of Ivan Linder,
steward, and the office in charge of
Miss Vena Barnes, formerly Clay's
secretary.
Dredge to Work Here
At the session Friday the gover
nors .decided to request a reduction in
the price of gas charges in Clackamas
county in view of the reduction made
by the Portland Gas and Coke com
pany In Portland. A cut of five cents
per thousand cubic feet was made and
a similar cut here js to be asked.
The U. S. Engineers department
will undertake to dredge the Willam
ette river at the mouth of the Clacka
mas, according to word received from
the Portland office. At the instance
of the club a survey of the river there
was made and the engineers decided
that the condition warranted dredging.

Practice of Getting SienOv

tor rwposea mvc
Streets Dedarecvxtmgl
To check an abuse which 'it is de
clared is prevalent in the circulation
of initiative petitions, a proposal is
made that all such measures be sign
ed at dertain specified places and
that circulation of them on streets be
prohibited. The proposal is made by
W. Lair Thompson, attorney for the
fish commission, who is handling the
case against the salmon fishing
amendment initiated by G. G. Green,
of West Linn. Suit is being institut
ed to keep the measure from being
placed on the November ballot on the
ground that it was conceived in an at
tempt to "sell out" to the salmon in
terests and is not legitimately placed
on the ballot.
In the complaint upon which the in
junction is based, a number of solici
tors are named as having knowingly
attested" signatures that were illegal.
Attorney Thompson in tracing the de
velopment of the legislation concern
ing the initiative pointed out that
the. frequent abuse of the spirit of the
law by thwe inclusion of fictitious
signatures by paid solicitors resulted
in remedial legislation in 1917 provid
ing greater security in the authenti
city of signatures through certification!
by the county clerk." At the same time
provision was made for the accept
ance by the. secretary of state of sig
natures certified not only by county
clerks but by notaries.
In the Green case, Thompson points
out that many of the circulators had
notarial commissions and certified to
signatures about which they knew no
thing. It is tp check tiis abuse that
Thompson urges that the practice of
circulating initiative petitions on the
streets by paid solicitors be done
away with and that persons suffi
ciently interested in a proposed meas
ure be permitted to affix their signa
tures at a designated place the coun
ty clerk's office, for example. In such
way an initiative petition, would rep
resent a greater popular demand, he
says, than is possible under the cur
rent scheme. '
COUNTY BONDS SOLD AT
PREMIUiVRATE 101.81
$153,950 of Issue of 1919
Liquidated; Funds to Be
Spent Upon Road Program.
A $153,950 portion of the 1919 road
bond issue of Clackamas county was
sold Monday, bringing a rate of 101.81.
The highest premium was offered by
the National City Company and E. H.
Rollins and Sons, of Portland, -representing
the eastern office of the com
pany. The premium of $2,786.50 and
accrued interest of $791.13 bring the
j'total reoeived for the bonds to $157,-
527.63.
The bonds were sold at more than
three times the premium that they
were "expected to bring. This, accord
ing to County Treasurer W. W. Ever
hart. was due to the increasing de
mand for municipal and county secur
ities and the improved condition of
the eastern bond market.
The increase, Mr. Everhart says
has been brought about in the past 30
days. The fact that the Clackamas
county bonds pay 5 per cent while
eastern money rates for investment
are somewhat below this figure for
the majority of present offers, makes
the local securities desirable.
The funds accruing from the sale
of the bonds will be used in the car
rying out of an extensive hard surface
road improvement program which
has already been outlined by the
county court, and the work started.
I .
Effort Made By
Thug to Kidnap
Hubbard Woman
A story of an attempted kidnapping,
mysterious blackhand letters and
threats, is under investigation by the
Clackamas county authorities.
Mrs. M. J. McKilop, of Hubbard, is
the woman against whom the attack
was directed and the recipient of the
notes which were delivered to the
home on the highway, stuffed under
the door and sent by mail. Little at
tention was paid to them until five
days ago.
Mrs. McKilop was, going outside to
the chicken house. A man rushed up
and seized her in his arms and started
to carry her off. The woman's
screams attracted her husbaad. and at
his sudden approach, the intruder
droDned the woman and ran. He drop
ped behind him a small yellow pencil
and as he cleared the fence, a portion
of his coat was torn off by the barb.
The first note that was sent bore
mystic warning and the informa
tion that someone was "coming to get
her" and was worried about tho wo
man's safety. Two subsequent notes
were mailed from. Portland, one read
ing, "If you knew what you were fac
ing you would shriek with horror."
All of the missives were unsigned.
No definite theory has been advanc
ed by the officials, though McKilop
suspects another woman whom he
says has been annoying his wife.

This is according to private letters
from Mrs. Hawley of recent date to
friends.

Marriage Is Hasty
Last March the pretty divorcee mar
ried in haste,, only to repent soon aft
erward. Two weeks before she met
Max H. Luellwitz in San Francisco
and what was regarded as a mad in
fatuation followed. The two exchang
ed their vows at a marriage altar at
Turlock, Cal., March 16, but the ro
mance scarcely lasted through the
honeymoon. At any rate, the newly
weds' bliss was rather rudely ended
when the young husband returned
home to Portland from California and
found a convivial party in progress at
his bride's home late at night.
Mrs. Hawley said she had made a
mistake in her second marriage. Ro'
atives of Luellwitzz heartily agreed
with her, since they were opposed,
strongly to the match from the first.
Suit for annulment of the marriage
was brought and Judge Tazwell r
