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."

the Associated Press has no reason to
doubt the correctness of the arrangement

no contracts to this end have yet been
signed, and that this fact constitutes the
basis for the technical details of the pre

TRAGEDY AT PITTSBURG.
Bloody Affray at the Home of a.
Drunken Pole.
PITTSBURG, Jan. 15. 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.

Kline, of St. Lbuls, and Robert L. West,
of Cincinnati, were arreBted across the
river this morning, charged with robbing
the trunk of T. E. Manners, of Chicago,
of about 52500 of jewelry. They are al
leged to have represented themselves last
night as Manners and another guest at the
St. Charles Hotel, paid the bills and left
with the baggage. They crossed the river
in a skiff, and were caught before the
train came on which they expected to
leave. Later in the day. Manners went
over to identify the property, and Kline
accused him of being a thief under an
alias. As the whole affair had a queer
look. Manners was also arrested. The
police suspect he Is KernB, the alleged
New York Jewelry thief.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15. Captain Titus, of
the detective bureau, said late tonight
that he had received dispatches from
New Orleans which said that a man be
lieved to be the missing Valet Kerns,

perado of Northern Montana.
HELENA, Mont, Jan. 15. 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. Curry, or Lo
gan, was arrested for having unsigned
bills of the bank, that had been stolen In
the Great Northern robbery. 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. Governor
Beckham today ordered the Frankfort
military company and a detail of the Lex
ington Battery to Flemlngsburg to pro

at Which the negro, Lester, will be
hanged, and has asked that he be hanged
from a different gallows. He says he is
opposed to social equality, and that Is why
the request Is made.

NEW CANAL SCHEME.
Company Proposes to Cnt the Isth

NEW YORK. Jan. 15. Plans for a new
ship canal will be presented next Thurs
day before the Senate committee on ca
nals by General Edward W. 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

free of charge for all Government 'ves

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. The rock through which the
tunnel would be cut Is said to be solid

City's RIBht to Regulate Gas Rates.
CHICAGO, Jan. 15. Judge Grosscup, in
the United. 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.

STATE LABOR CONGRESS
FIFTH AXXTIAL MEETING OPENS AT
TACOMA.
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.
The evening meeting was of a popular
nature, and was. attended by citizens of all
classes. Addresses were made by J. B.
W. 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.

OTHER CURES.
Mr. D. P. Mitchell, 151 Seventeenth
St., Portland, Or. I had suffered from ca
tarrh for 15 years. My head, throat, ears
and stomach were In bud shape. I could
not breathe through the no3trils; my
throat was raw and sore and I coughed all
the time. My hearing was so much im
paired that I could not understand com
mon conversation.
Everything I ate caused great distress.
I was sick at the stomach and nauseated,
with a heavy oppressed feeling In the
stomach. I lost 20 pounds and my
strength was greatly exhausted.
Drs. Copeland & Montgomery cured me.
Mr. Joe II. Boos. Hcttc, Mont. I
suffered 10 years with my head, throat and
bronchial tubes.
My nostril were stopped up, forcing mo
to breath through the mouth, and clogged
with crusts and scabs. I had nosebleed
without any apparent cause-
I had frequent attacks of asthma, when
the bronchial tubes seemed to contract
and to produce a tightness in the chest
that made it impossible to 1111 the lungs
with air. At r.ight I would be propped
up with pillows in ordr to get sleep or
rest.
I would say to all sufferers from ca
tarrhal troubles that the Copeland treat
ment Is all right. It cured me after every
tning else had failed.
