LOUIS MAZORETZY
VANCOUVER - MERCHANT
; SHOOTS HIS FORMER ;?
J ; WIFE.
After Firing Four Shots at Woman
Commits . Suicide Crime Fol
: lows a Gala Time in fort-
, land Other News.
Vancouver, Wash., Feb. 18. A
long continued series of family quar-
I rela euded in a double tragedy in
' this city shortly after 2 o'clock yes
terday morning. As a result Louis
Mazoretzky died lnetantly by bis
own act, while his former wife, Bes
sie Mozoretzky,' from whom he waB
divorced about tnree weeas ago, ib
at ,8t. Joseph Hospital suffering j
from four wounds, which will prob
ably prove fatal.. Four children,
three of whom are real young, .are
apparently without any one to care
for them.
The tragedy occurred at the
home of the family, corner of Sixth
and East B streets.' A few minutes
after 2 o'clock yesterday morning
Policeman Cresap heard pistol shots
fired, and at the sarni time cries for
he-lp.- Entering the house, Cresap
saw a gbaBtly sight. ' Lying npon
the floor was Mazoretzsky, dead,
while near him on a lounge was
Mrs. Mazoretsky, moaning. In the
room were the four children of the
family, the eldest, a daughter about
17 years of age, almost in hysterics
while the younger children appear
ed dazed.
. Mrs. Mazoretzsky s most serious
wound was in the right Eide, where
a bullet is supposed to have passed
in the immediate neighborhood of
the kidneys and to have lodged near
the Bpinal column.. There are four
other wounds, two of whicn were
evidently made by one bullet. One
of these wounds ib in trie upper por
tion of the right arm. A second en
tered the neqk, just below tbe lobe
of the ear. " Apparently the third
shot was fired while eke had raised
her arm to. protect her head; the
bullet entered the right hand, pns
ed through and struck the he d i
short distance abovs the ear, graz
ing the flesh and . emerging, -at the
back of the head, practically at tne
same SDot at which the bullet en
tered the neck and made its exit
The last shot tired was the one
which entered the right side, near
the back.
There is much speculation as to
the immediate cause of the tragedy
although it was largely due to fam
ily trouble. . . About three
weeks ago a divorce . was granted
the couple by Superior Judge M
Credie. This followed a long eeries
of family troubles,, largely the re
sult of charges : of infidelity made
again6t the wife by Mazoretzsky.
From fctatementa made by the
eldest daughter, at appears tha Ma
zoretsky had been occupying a room
at home since the divorce, and had
on moet occasions been on friendly
terms with his former wife. Satur
day afternoon he took the entire
family to Portland, and with them
started on a round-up of enjoyment,
which conested of a dinner, during
all of which time the entire party
were in the best of spirits. : Follow
ing this tbey attended a dance,: re'
turning to Vancouver on the last
car. Arriving there, they went first
to a f-a loon and had a glass of beer,
and theu separated, the daughter
and a young man who had been in
their company going home, while
Mazoretzsky and his former wife
went to a restaurant. Later they
telephoned to the house and re
quested the daughter and her com
panion to return downtown and
join them at dinner. With the
company was a young : man, a for
mer employer oi Mazoretzsky, and
whom he accused of having been
one of Mrs. Mazoretzsky 's ; lovers.
Misa Mazoretzsky B'ates. that af
ter the party returned ta the bouse,
some' one made the remark that the
fire was hot, when: Mazoretzsky re
plied that : "they had ; made it hot
for him, but that he might make it
cold for some of them Boon..!? Short
ly after" the children. 'retired, and
Freizelheimer; ; their"; friend, "'also
went" to bed. pccupying a foohj with
the two "boys. .; About, half an hour
after Miss Mazoretzsky retired ehe
heard her father pass her room and
enter his own, which adjoins. She
then heard him fumbling about the
drawers of the bureau. IS She -suspected
nothing until a fewmOments
after; when she heard him descend
the- atairsi-and this -was followed al
most immediately by the sound of
shooting,' and the . screams of t her
mother ' : ,. ', ;;t
- At the commencement of the
shooting young Freizelbeimer jump
ed out of the window, of, his room,
clad only in his underclothing, and
did not return until after the police
had arrived. ; . ;,.
Miss Mazoretzsky descended to
the lower floor, where the crime oc
curred. As eoon as :. the nature of
the tragedy was apparent to her
she ran out of the house, screaming
for assistance. Officer Cresap was
in , the vicinity, and having heard
the shots, was at the house almost
as soon as she emerged, ,
- Among many, who . are familiar
with the affairs of the family, it is
believed that the tragedy was coolly
contemplated, and that the trip to
Portland was planned by Mazoretz
sky as a sort of farewell to his fam
ily. For a long time he had been
worried over the alleged actions of
his, spouse, and . had frequently
quarrelled with her. -. , j . .
While Mrs. Mazoretzsky was
alive this morning, and reports from
the hospital indicate that she is rest
ingeasily,pbysicians have grave fears
for her life : The wound in the side
is a serious one, and there is danger
of blood poisoning. .
Mazoretzy is generally supposed
to be possessed of property amount
ing to et least $20,000. In addition
to this, he is said to have been a
member of the Woodmen of the
World, at Portland, in which he
carried an insurance of $300Q.
The Albany Herald says, if not a
revenue producer, the present legis
lature will take its place In history
as a money spander. And herein
lies a source of criticism from which
tbe 24th legislature aBBembly can
not escape. , It has gone ahead rais
ing salaries, creating . commissions
and offices, piling up appropriations
for higher education, exposition,
etc. . A ready ear nas been given
to the demands for appropriations
Diligence has, not been shown in
seeking , new sources of revenue.
Nor has remedial legislation been
championed with the - enthusiasm
the people mipht reasonably expect
Beginning with this year the- state
officers nave been put on a Hat sal
ary. By comparison of these sala
ries, which are considered reasona
ble, with what the same officers
have been receiving or appropriat
ing to themselves, it is plain that
some of the officers have been re
ceiving emoluments entirely out of
proportion to the services rendered
This paper has pointed out that the
secretary of state has been , appro
prlaucg to nimseli all lees coming
into the secretary of state's office;
that neither the statute nor consti
tution awards these fees specifically
to tbe sec: eta-y and that dune g the
inct m 'ency of the outgoing secre
tary tbere has accumulated in his
hands $loo,oco to $12o,ooo in fees
that properly belong to the state.
The outgoing eecretary of state has
in his hands this amount in addi
tion to tbe salary received equal to
the present fiat salary. But the
pres nt legislature has neither made
demands on the outgoing secretary
of state nor his predecessors, nor
has it even asked for an accounting.
It has been too busy spending mon
ey. . Relief asked by people of tbe
Willamette valley from the embar
go at Oregon City has received very
indifferent support. In fact tbe re
cognition the Jones bill received
was forced on the houseby people
who are paying the tolls. All re
sources of the people, however, are
not exhausted. There' remains the
courts to which appeal may be
made to force the payment into the
treasury of fees that have, been col
lected and are cow withheld by in
dividuals.. There is the initiative
through which the people, may vote,
relief from lockage extortion and
there is the referendum by which
unjustifiable appropriations', may
be nullified.'. . .'.

VETOES NORMAL SCHEME,

Salam, Or., Eeb. x8. Governor
Chamberlain has vetoed S. B. I34,
Smith, providing for selection of
tw6 of the present normal schools
by a board of regents. . His action
throws the normal school situation
in chaos. This veto may be sustain
ed lo the senate by a combination
of normal school senators, for sus
taining the veto would make it too
ate. to introduoe another two-school
measure, and would save all four
schools until next session.
The veto says that the bill would
not be sustained in the courts if it
should become a law1 and the board
should attempt to designate which
two normals be left. . The power of
making the. selection is delegated
by the Constitution to the legislai
ture, and that body cannot, under
a well established principle of law;
delegate its power to any man c t
set of men.. ,
"There is no reason," says the
message, "why tbe legislature
should not itself eliminate two of
the normals, instead " of trying to
shirk its duty and bo avoid the re
sponsibility." This Smith bill slipped through
the senate) despite the opposition of
the normal school combination.
The combine, however, is strong
enough, standing together, to sus
tain the veto, thus killing the bill
and giving all four normals a chance.
Equally ardent to defeat the ve
to are the political enemies of Gov
ernor Chamberlain, who contend
that if they can succeed they will
be making political capital out Vol
it.
Salem, Or., Feb. 22. Oregon's
three railroad commissioners will

House of representatives in 19o3,
and was the democratic, nominee

gallant race against WVC. Hawley

only defeated by a very narrow
margin, considering the immense
republican majorities he had to con
tend against. ' The ' new appointee
will assume his new duties as Boon
as Mr.. West, the retiring official,
takes up his new duties as a mem
ber of tne railroad commission. ; ,
