SHOT TO DEATH
FORMER SUPERINTENDENT OF
PAPER MILL MURDERED BY
DISCHARGED EMPLOYEE
E. T DAULTON WILL FILL VACANCY
Crown-Columbia Company Man
Target for Bullets on Street
Dies Early Sunday Morn
in from Wounds
News has been received here of
the murder of Frank McGinnis, su
perintendent of the Crown-Columbia
Paper mills at Floriston, Cal. Mr.
McGinnis, who was formerly an em
ployee of the local mills of the same
company, sometime ago was sent to
the California department of the con
cern, and placed in charge. Accord
ing to information reaching this city,
Mr. McGinnis last week discharged
the physician who has been looking
after the employees of the mill, and
Sunday this doctor shot him down on
the street.
Mr. McGinnie died at two o'clock
Monday morning from his wounds.
His body will be brought here for in
terment, his brother Joseph McGin
nis having left Reno to bring the re
mains north.
In this city Mr. McGinnis was well
known, being at one time chief of
the fire department, and also being
identified with other public matters.
E. J. Daulton, wha has been super
intendent of the Crown-Columbia
mills here, has been ordered to Flor
iston to assume charge of the Cali
fornia plant of the concern.
EMPLOYEES PRESENT
DAULTON WITH GIFT
As an expression of the regard in
"which he was held by the employees
of the Crown-Columbia Papr mill, E.
J. Daulton, who left Monday night
for Floriston, Cal., to assume charge
of the company's plant at that place,
was presented with a handsome gold
watch in the afternoon. Mr. Daulton
"was to have severed his connection
with the local mill this week, and had
it not been for the unfortunate death
of Frank McGinnie, would have re
tired to private life upon half pay.
The sudden need of a superintendent
at the Floristan mills, howver, makes
his further service with the company
necessary.
M. E. Clancey acted as spokesman
for the men at the mill, and in pre
senting the watch said:.
"It is my pleasure, Mr. Daulton, to
present this watch to you on behalf
of the employees, as a slight token of
the esteem and regard in which they
hold you for your many acts of kind
ness and consideration. In giving
you this remembrance we all want to
assure you of our hearty good wishes,
wherever your future plans may call
you."
Mr. Daulton was visibly effected,
the gift coming to him as a complete
surprise. In thanking the donors he
said he was glad to know that his ef
forts to be fair and hnorable with
them were appreciated, and added
that he would always retain and
- greatly prize their valuable present.
A small classified adt will rml that

HOWARD BROWNELL CRITICAL
AUDIENCE OF ONE BEFORE
TAKING DAMAGE SUIT
YAUDEVILL1ANS CHARGE UNFAIRNESS
Mr. and Mrs. Flemming Allege Con
tract Broken and Violence
Threatened by (Manager
of Show House
Howard Brownell, prominent as a
member of the local bar, has rather
out-classed King Solomon as an ar
biter. To do this he transformed his
office into a theatre, and had staged
for his special benefit a vaudeville
sketch which may be the basis of a
suit for heavy damages. Things came
about in this way.
Last week the Portland agent of
a local moving picture .house, that
runs vaudeville acts as added fea
tures, engaged Mr. and Mrs. George
Flemming to come to Oregon City
and put on their sketch. The Flem
niings arrived, bag and baggage, and
put on their sketch. After its initial
performance the manager of the lo
cal house went on the stage and or
dered the two vaudevillians out of
his" theatre. The Flemmings wanted
to know why, and were informed that
their show was not up to Oregon
City standards. This remark was
reinforced by the threatening pres
ence of the leader of the orchestra in
the house, and as the leader was a
big and burly man, the actors decid
ed to go.
They went to Mr. Brownell's of
fice. There they said they had been
engaged at $80 a week to brighten
the stage of Oregon City, told of
their summary dismissal and its al
leged cause, and asked if they could
not bring suit.
Mr. Brownell said he - could hardly
judge, from their bare statement of
the case, whether or not they really
had valid grounds on which to re
cover damages. He suggested that
the best thing to do would be for the
actors to put on their act for his
judgment, and his suggestion was at
once acted upon. Entering an ante
room, Mir.- and Mrs. Flemming got in
to their wardrobe, and then gaily
tripped forth into the attorney's of
fice, singing something about "Any
little auto, that's a fast little auto, is
a nice little auto for me." This was
climaxed by the vociferous tooting of
an automobile horn, and then follow
ed some "patter" and the other fea
tures of the Flemmings' sketch.
After it was all over Mr. Browaell
said that he thought their act was as
good as many other acts he had seen,
and added that he believed the Flem
mings had ground for - action Details
were satisfactorily arranged, and Mr.
Brownell is now drawing up papers
for damages in a considerable sum to
provide balm for the "humiliation,
mental anguish, loss of prestige,
waste of time, breach of contract
and expense"- sustained by the Flem
mings." MOLALLA EDITOR PRAISES
COUNTY'S TIMBER CRUISE
Praise of the timber cruise order
ed by the county court was given
Monday by Mr. Taylor, editor of the
Molalla Pioneer, who passed through
Oregon City enroute to Poptland. Mr.
Taylor said that he was surprised
and amazed that opposition to the
move should come from the farmers,
as usually the only people to condemn
such a scheme were the big timber
interests. Mr. Taylor has been in
many communities where taxation of
timber land has been based upon a
cruise, and declares that nowhere
has he heard any objection to the
scheme, save from large timber com
panies. "From information I have gather
ed myself," said Mr. Taylor, "I be
lieve that the taxes that will be as
sessed on oone parcel of timber
alone, as a result of this cruise, will
more than pay the expense of the
entire movement."

the princess is to be called queen. Some of the German experts on court ques

the throne of Portugal and retains the titles of king and majesty his consort
will share this. courtesy title. Many are Inclined to the belief that the latter

MANY QUESTIONS
AT STATE GRANGE
The fortieth annual session of the
Oregon State Grange opens at Al
bany Tuesday morning, and sessions
will continue until Friday. Many
matters will be taken up during the
session, and in all probability one of
the subjects for consideration will be
the advisability of taking action in
regard to the leasing of farm land in
this state by aliens. Invasion of the
hop industry by Japanese growers is
said to be resented by some of the
grange members, and on Wednesday
the day set apart for the introduction
of resolutions, it is likely that this
subject will be brought up.
Among those who will attend the
meetings from this vicinity are, C.
E. Spence, of Oregon City, master;
Mary S. Howard, Mulino, who is on
the credentials committee; Olivia
Swallow, of Oregon City, a member j
of the pure food committee; Mrs. J.'
L. Jones, of Park Place, on the worn-1
an's work committee; F. V. Thomas j
and Mrs. Hannah Mudget, the former j
of Sandy, and the latter of Oregon
City, both of whom are on the leg
islative committee; J. L. Jones, of
Park Place, of the educational com
mittee, and Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Kreud

"BETTER FRUIT"--
Ranchers and farmers of the Clack
amas valley gathered at Sunnyside
Saturday evening to hear O. E. Frey
tag, of the Oregon City Commercial
club talk on "Better Fruit." Mr.
Freytag gave his audience many
valuable hints as to the manner in
which high grade yields of orchard
and ebrry crops could be secured,
and was given a most cordial recep
tion. "
On Saturday, May 24, Mr. Freytag
will travel again to Sunnyside, and
will visit several local orchards, dem
onstrating to' the ranchers the sev
eral -ways of using sprays and other
insecticides. One old orchards,
which, is badly pest-ridden, will be
visited in the course o the afternoon
and Mr. Freytag will show those in
terested how it may be prevented
from menacing nearby fruit.
Monday Mr. Freytag received a let
ter from C. E. Arney, western immi
gration agent of the Northern Pacific
saying that the big transcontinental
road wanted to offer a prize for com
petition at ' the Clackamas . County
fair, to be held at Canby, and asking
what tee award had better "be offer
ed for. Mr. Freytag has replied that

ABBOTT'S GRAVE
IS FOUND INTACT
CORONER EXHUMES CASKET AS
LAST RESORT IN PROSING
LAFRANCE SWINDLE
MULTNOMAH OFFICIALS GRATEFUL
No Trace of Tampering Discovered
- by County Officer, and Thor
ough Inquiry is Thus
Closed
To determine whether or not the
body of the late Charles M. Abbott
had been removed from its grave and
utilized by J. C. LaFrance in his plan
to swindle insurance companies out
of $15,000,. Coroner Wilson Monday
afternoon exhumed the caket. It was
found that the remains were intact.
Though not placing over much be
lief in the theory advanced that Ab
bott's body had been used by La
France, Coroner Wilson considered it
his duty to investigate the possibility.
Inquiry on his part, though thorough
in every way, failed to convince him
positively that the body had not been
made away with by the insurance
swindler, and a3 long as there re
mained a possibility that it had, Mr.
Wilson felt that no stone should be
left unturned in his efforts to run
down the case. Hence his determin
ation to open the grave.
This was done Monday afternoon
with the greatest amount of privacy
possible. No trace of any tampering
with the remains was found, and fol
lowing the investigation the grave
was returned to its former order.
'The action of the coroner
closes one angle of the investigation
being made into the LaFrance affair,
and so simplifies the work ;of the
officers working on the case. Inquiry
will now be turned to other chan
nels. Multnomah county officials feel
deeply indebted to Coroner Wilson
for his thorough investigation of the
Clackamas county end of the matter,
and while regretting that it was
necessary to disturb Abbott's grave
feel sure that in no other way could
the uncertainty be reduced to a cer
tainty. IS. L. A. ALEXANDER
CALLED BY DEATH
News of the death of Mrs. L. A.

TACOMA, Wash., May 12. (Spe
cial) Going at the rate of 65 miles
an hour, Oregon-Washington local
train No.- 362 jumped the track just
south of Lakeview, beyond Tacoma
city limits this afternoon, and four
were killed in the resulting wreck.
Three passengers and a brankeman
were killed, all of them being in the
smoking car..
The train was silghtly behind time,
and the engineer, taking advantage
of several miles of tangent track
from Roy to South Tacoma, had the
throttle way back. It is believed
that spreading rails caused the
wreck. The engine leaped from the
track, plowed 200 feet through a
slight cut, and then overturned near
the old Lakeview foundry, burying it
self five feet deep in the soft soil of
the prairie.
Aside from the dead, several pass
engers were injured, one of them be
ing a Mrs. Margaret Jordan, who had
boarded the train just a few min
utes before at Hillhurst, the last sta
tion before Tacoma. She was going
to Tacoma cemetery to place flowers
on the grave of her husband, and was
then going to enter a hospital, where
she expected to become a mother.
Those killed are:
