mae rcirt f ii IrWM1' - THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 190?. f ----. 53JP-- , NO THIRTEEN FOR NE1LL PUGILIST REFUSES TO TRAVEL OX VXLVCKY DAY. For That Reason He Delay Starting From San Franclnco He Arrive Thla Moralng. Al Nelll, the well-known boxer, was due to arrive In Portland Tuesday morning, and his failure to appear caused no little uneasiness among Portland sports. How ever, their minds were eased yesterday, when letters from Nelll explained the sit uation. He Intended leaving San Francis co Sunday night, but missed the train, and rather than begin his journey on Monday, which was the 13th day of the month, he remained in the Bay City until Tuesday night's train, which arrives here at 7:t A. M. today. Nelll is evidently superstitious, for he Bays that he does not wish to begin his battle with any evil omens hanging over him. or the gods of war frowning upon him, or the gods of war frowning upon him. Yesterday Jack Day. of the Pastime Club, re ceived a letter from Nelll, in which the latter states that he is In excellent con dition and will put up the banner contest of his career. He will resume active training today, and expects to be in the pink of condition for next Thursday's contest. "Mysterious" Billy Smith, who will be Nelll's opponent, is training faithfully, and expects to carry away the spoils of victory. In speaking of the contest. Smith said: "I am now In better condi tion than I have been for the past five years. Underrating my opponent's abil ity came near losing me the decisions in my last two contests before the Pastime Club, and I assure you that it wllL not be the case this time. I realize that Nelll is one of the best men in the country, and I will enter the ring prepared to put up the fight of my life." PRESIDEXT LUCAS RETURNS.

A ghastly dis covery was made today when some neigh bors, hearing cries coming from the resi dence of Vincent Vencelslck, a Pole, knocked open the doors and found the bedroom of the house saturated with blood. Mrs. Vencelslck lay beside the bed. Her faee and head were crushed almost beyond recognition and she was dead. Three little children, their heids and bodies covered with gashes and cuts, and the husband, almost dead, were also lying on the floor. From what could be learned It appears that Vencelslck came home Intoxicated list night and assaulted his wife with a rail-cutter. She defend ed herself with such weapons as she could find. The three children were asleep In one of the beds, and the brutal father rushed to the bed and rained blow after blow upon .the sleeping little ones. The sharp edge of the cutter hacked the children In a frightful manner and the hos pital physicians say there is little hope of their recovers. The attack on the children Infuriated the wife, and with a knife in each hand she sprang at ner husband and stabbed him a number of times. The husband finally brought the cutter down on her skull and she fell to the floor dead. Developments tonight add mystery to the tragedy. Three Poles who were board ers In the house are under arrest, and the police are scouring the city for John OkenskI, who also was a boarder, but who has not been seen since the murder. It is learned that the woman had over 51200 on her person last night, and this is also missing. OkenskI is accused of having set Are to a mattress in the house a week ago, and later Venselslck tried to have him arrested because he had threatened to rob the house. When found the woman was lying across a couch which belonged to OkenskI, with her face and head bat tered almost to a Jelly. The man's head was beaten in and his skull fractured. The children's heads were also crushed In, and physicians at the hospital say none of the Injured can recover. KERNS, THE THIEVING VALET. Believed to Be Under Arrest at New Orleans.

They crossed the river in a skiff, and were caught before the train came on which they expected to leave. Later in the day.

Harvey Lo gan, the desperado who was arrested at Knoxville, Tenn., on a charge of having stolen bills of the National Bank of Mon tana in hl possession, and who made a desperate attempt to escape, is no other than the notorious Kid Curry, of North ern Montana. Logan's picture, which was received by the bank today, was Identified as that of Curry by T. A. Marlow. pres ident of the bank, who knows Curry well. Mr. Marlow formerly employed Curry as a cowboy, and he says there Is no doubt about the Identity of the man. The Iden tification of Curry may have an import ant bearing upon his trial.

The au thorities of Northern Montana have long been confident that Curry was implicated In the robbery. Savin? a Murderer From a Mob. MAYSVILLE, Ky., Jan. 15. Sixty would-be lynchers attacked the jail at Flemlngsburg, near here, early today. The object was to get hold of Charles Gasklns, colored, who killed James Ryan, the son of Officer Ryan, of Flemlngsburg, last Summer. Gasklns had been kept In jail In Newport ever since the crime, but he had to be removed to Flemlngsburg yes terday, his trial having been set in the Circuit Court there. Every precaution was taken to prevent his selrure. The Sheriff refused the mob's demand for the negro and made stout resistance. Win dows were broken in the hope of gaining an entrance, but the attempt proved fu tile. Finally dynamite was used, but to no avail. Day breaking, the would-be lynchers, fearing identification, disap peared. More trouble is feared. FRANKFORT, Ky., Jan. 15.

Serrell. for the American Isthmus Canal Company and the Isthmus Company, both corpora tions of New Jersey. The route for the canal proposed Is from the Gulf of San Bias to the Pacific Ocean behind the Pearl Islands and Is called the Mandlgo route. It will be proposed that the company build the work under the supervision and protection of the Government, without any cost to the United States, which will be asked to guarantee the bonds of the. company. The company will propose that am FORAKER. the Government have the use of the canal free of charge for all Government 'ves sels, and If at any thne the company does not do as agreed, the Government shall take possession of the canal. The company asserts that it has secured a right of way. The newly suggested route la less than 30 miles long and therefore Is shorter than any other so far proposed. No engineer ing difficulties are encounterd, its sup porters say, until a spur of the Andes Is reached. This mountain chain must be pierced by a tunnel seven miles long and the plans state that it will be 200 feet high, ISO feet wide and deep enough for the largest vessels which would go through the canal.

States Court, decided today that the city has the right to regulate the price of gas. The question came up wherein the People's Gas Light & Coke 1905 FAIR FROM ASTORIA. Company seeks to have the city enjoined from enforcing the 75-cent ordinance. The city demurred and claimed that even if the facts set forth in the gas company's petition were true, the city still had the right to regulate the price of gas. Judge Grosscup held that the city had the right to see that the rate was "reasonable," but told attorneys for the gas concern that they might amend the bill eo as to protest against the 75-cent rate as being too low. Mayor Harrison said the court's ruling meant that the municipality had the right to regulate the rates charged for telephones, electric lights and all other service rendered by public utility corporations.

Fight Over the Proposition to Form a State Federation Talk on Immigration. TACOMA, Jan. 15. About 150 delegates are here to attend the fifth State Labor Congress, of Washington, which- opened today. It Is believed there will be only one question which Is likely to result In a sharp fight. That Is the proposition to form a State Federation of Labor to be affiliated with the American Federa tion of Labor. The delegates from Seat tle are Instructed to favor the measure, but there will be opposition from other sources. William Blackman, who has served as president of the congress since its formation, will not be a candidate for re-election. He Is too busy to devote his time to the office. F. Stacy Whitney, secretary, it is conceded, will be re-elected. It Is expected the congress will ex press Itself on the Chinese exclusion law and some of the state legislation which failed to pass last Winter. Tonight a public meeting was held In Germanla Hall.

Johnson, Tacoma Conductors' Union; William Blackman, State Labor Commis sioner; W. J. Walker, editor of the Free man's Journal, Spokane, and Hon. David Healy, United States Labor Commissioner, Vancouver, B. C. Mr. Healy said In part: "Only too recently we have had an object-lesson on the preservation of the life current of this Nation against alien con spiracy. To the laboring people It makes a strong appeal, but appeals to every American who loves the flag. The Ameri can people are a unit on this question, for It has been stricken Into National in telligence as by a thunderbolt. "We welcome Immigrants who wish to become a part of the American people, but the abolition of slavery cost us too dear for us to ever be again deluded by the forms of slavery In contract and coolie labor. It Is a serious problem, which af fects the East more than the West. In the last year there have come to the At lantic Coast 204.000 Italians. Hebrews and Poles, not to mention 50,000 from other dis tressed nations." On Chinese exclusion Mr. Healv said: "The name, antecedents and future of. the member of -Congress who votes against re-enactment of the bill should be put In the National archives for future refer ence." The speaker stated that he Is not in favor of any legislation against the Jap anese, since it Is not necessary. POPULATION OF CANADA. Increased Half a Million In the Past Decade.
