Makes Second Avowal of
Guilt in Morrow Murder.
SHOT WAS ACCIDENTAL, HE SAYS
lie Moke Pnbllc Confession to Give
Dalton Chance for Life Latter
Hopes for Commutation
of Sentence.
o
I hac known all along that there "was
no chance lor me, and have wanted
tose Dalton punished, too, because he
gate us both away. But I ha e thought
It over, and concluded It is right tor
me to tell the truth. I fired the shot,
but I did It accidontallj. I did not
want to kill Morrow, nor anbody, and
would not hae done it intentionally,
even to sae mjself. I hope this will
save Dalton. I am doing this because
It is right, and not because I am afraid
to die. X can't see an j thine in it lor
me.
All Is true. JACK WADE.
Tack "Wade has made a second and a
public confession that ho and not Dalton
fired the shot that killed James B. Mor
row. The first confession was made
privately to Mrs. Ella Boltz, a religious
worker In the County Jail, now in Sacra
mento, who gave the information that
-was printed In last Sunday's Oregonian,
that Wade had confided in her the details
of the shooting, and that he was guilty.
Xesterday Wade called Attorneys John
a bad one. "Why, he even told us to
holdup the man he was working for,
saying he always went home with 575 or
S0."
"But you didn't do It?"
"No. I wasn't looking for things of
that kind at all."
"Wade remarked that everyone didn't
think him so bad, and showed some let
ters written by his mother and sister
which he requested the interviewer to
read. His sister in her letter expressed
the hope that he did not fire the shot,
and informed him that his father cried
aloud on receiving the news. The let
ter of the mother was such as a mother
would write to her boy under such cir
cumstances. She told him to pray for
forgiveness.
Dalton, speaking about King, told an
other new fact, and that was that King
first wanted to send a letter to The Ore
gonian asking chat the reward be In
creased to $1000 and then they would in
form the police. Dalton, speaking fur
ther, said he did not desire to speak ill
of anybody, and hoped King would put
the money he got to good use.

Horsemen all over the Pacific North
west are pleased over the prospects of
the North Pacific Fair Association, which
was organized at Seattle Wednesday. M.
D. "Wisdom, of this city, and W. H. Weh
rung, of Hlllsboro, returned from Se
attle yesterday mornlnjj; and spent the
day In formulating plans for the new
enterprise, as well as forAhe Oregon States for horseracing. but for all other live-
uniform classes for such premiums throughout
the circuit.
Resolved, That the associations represented
at the meeting- use all honorable means to fur
ther the interests of each and every associa
tion on this circuit, in getting entries for purs
and stake races, and exhibition livestock.
Asked concerning the recent convention
and its probable effect on future racing
throughout the Northwest, Mr. Wisdom
made the following statement: "We
were royally entertained while In Se
attle, and Mr. Vandevanter deserves
great credit for the part he has played
In bringing about this new organization.
By a united effort on the part of all the
members of the circuit, horwraclng will
once more be brought Into public favor.
The outlook for good, clean sport was
never better than it Is at present."
W. H. Wehrung, the newly elected
president of the association, i3 very en
thusiastic over Its prospects, and predicts
success along all lines. He said: "The
outlook Is exceptionally bright, not only

Jack "Wade.
F. Logan and Clarence Veazie to his
cell and re-told the story of his crime,
stating that lie desired to make a full and
public avowal of his guilt. In the pres
ence of the attorneys he then dictated
and signed the foregoing statement. The
effect of Wade's confession on Dalton
- was magical and his spirits Immediately
revived. It ie almost certain that his
attorney, Clarence Veazie, will ask Gov
ernor Goer to commute his sentence to
life imprisonment.
"Shot "Was Fired Accidentally."
"The shot was fired accidentally," said
Wade, in discussing the circumstances
of the crime with an "Oregonian reporter.
"I had no Intention of killing Morrow.
When I called to him to stop, he said,
"All right, boys," and then made a motion
to put his hand In his pocket and walk
around me. I had the pistol In my right
hand, and was about to reach for him
with my left when the gun -went off."
The account given by Wade corrobor
ates the theory advanced at the time of
the murder that the shot was accidentally
flred by a highwayman. Continuing,
rWade said:
"You know when this goes in the paper
what I should like you to do. Now I
don't want anybody to pet me or any
thing like that. I look at it this way,
because a man dono me a wrong Is no
reason for me to do him a wrong. There
Is no reason for me letting him go up
there if he can escape. That Is just the
way I look at it I am not going to do
him an injury because I can. My heart
Is in the right place.
"The shot was fired accidentally. You
can say that. It was Just an accident.
"We met him coming up a Btreet, and I
never knew the gun went off until I
heard it crack. Morrow pulled his hand
out of his pocket quick, and put It In his
coat pocket, and took a step forward.
The pistol was very easy on the trigger.
It was a hair trigger. I never carried
a pistol before. I think I took a step
backward.
"Dalton and I were walking close to
gether when Morrow appeared. The sec
ond the gun went off I knew he was dead,
end started to run. I did not intend to
fire, but the gun went off so easily."
Confession Not Unexpected.
John F. Lrogan says that he was previ
tously aware that Wade would make a
confession. Mr. Logan, In speaking of
the matter said: "A week ago Wade sent
for me and said he was going to make a
confession. He said It would be best
to tell the truth, but cautioned me not to
eay anything about It at that time. He
said something about making a confes
sion on the scaffold, but I urged him to
speak before that time if he intended to
and give Dalton whatever chance there
might be for his life. He said he would."
Mr. "Veazie has several times conversed
with Wade, and yesterday morning Wade
sent word to him that he was willing tq
tell all he knew about the occurrence.
Daltop. Has Rcneired Hopes.
Dalton,' naturally, is pleased that his
companion has unbosomed himself. When
asked how he felt about it, he said: "I
feel fine, I couldn't feel any better than
I do. All I can say Is that I thank God
that ho has answered my prayers and
that the truth has come out. I am wait
ing for just whatever may happen. I
have always told the truth. I prayed
with him last night, and shook hands -with
him through the bars."
Dalton then took a walk around his
cell, and hummed a hymn.
Wade Is very agreeable In his manner
to visitors, and keeps up his spirits well.
He smiles frequently when talking and
appreciates the gltt of a good cigar.
"While he has confessed he still asserts
that Dalton owned both of the revolvers,
and that he never engaged in a hold-up
until he became acquainted with him.
Wade states that he was Introduced to
Dalton In Seattle by Martin, and that
Dalton only worked as a "blind." Wade
said he had worked as a bartender and
around gambling-houses. They were in
two hold-ups, altogether, in Portland.
"Wade VIeTied Body of Murdered Boy.
Wade made another statement to Mr.
lrogan, and that is that he went to the
morgue and looked at the body of the
murdered man, but Dalton did not go
with him. Asked why he went, he an
swered: "Just to see the man. I was
feeling very bad, but I did not let my
feelings show, I covered them up with a
jolly smile."
Wade Denounces King.
The reporter also questioned Wado
about King, and Wade replied: "He's
After a career of vicissitudes extending
over a period of 20 years, the Oregon
Pulp & Paper Company's mill at Bridal
Veil Falls has gone out of existence as
a paper mill, and the Bridal Veil Lumber
ing Company, wnicn acquirea me piu
yesterday by purchase, will convert the
building Into an adjunct to Its plant.
The property was sold at public auction
yesterday by E. E. Merges, trustee In.
"bankruptcy, and was bid in by R. R. Dunl
way for $7575, acting for the Bridal Veil
"Lrtimberine Comnany.
Mr. Dunlway said last night that he
could not eay to what use the newly ac
quired plant would be put, but the Impres
sion is current that the purchasers intend
converting It into a box factory. However,
the water rights which go with the plant
are by far the most valuable asset. The
Oregon Pulp & Paper Company owned the
first water rights to Bridal veil tans, ine
possession of which will give- the Bridal
Veil Lumber Company practically a mon
opoly of the power from the falls.
The Bridal Veil Paper Mills, as the
plant was more generally known, has con
sistently and persistently refused to de
velop Into a dlidend-paylng proposition,
although three sets of owners- have been
in possession since Its establishment In
18S2, and after a short tenure each cor
poration has been compelled to sell at a
sacrifice. The mills have a capacity of
four tons of cheap grade paper, made
from wood pulp, dally, and. In addition to
the buildings, the company last in pos
session owned 19 acres of land Jn the im
mediate vicinity.
The first company to undertake the op
eration of the mills was headed by a
man named Oakley, and with his associ
ates he retained control of the plant for
about eight years, w hen it" passed Into the
possession of H. B. Nicholas, the Nep
pachs and an associate named Fleming.
They continued their endeavors to put the
mills on a paying basis until 1900. when
L. G. Gurnett bought the plant and or
ganized the Oregon Pulp & Paper Company-
Mr. Gurnett and those Interested
with him managed to keep the mills go
ing for something over a year, when, the
beginning of the end hove In sight, and
bankruptcy proceedings were resorted to.
When M. Gurnett acquired the plant ex
tensive repairs were necessary, and the
"hoodoo" whiph hung over the place con
tinued its Industrious and disastrous ef
forts. The creditors of the defunct cor
poration will realize but a few 'hundred
dollars from yesterday's sale. A first
mortgage on the mill, held by A. Neppach,
amounting to $7200, will have to be paid
out of the proceeds of the sale before the
other creditors will receive anything on
account. The balance, $375, will be divid
ed pro rata, after the lawyers and court
fees have been paid, and the probability
Fair, which promises to be a blue-ribbon
event this season. They say that there
is a general feeling of satisfaction among
horsemen over the organization Of the
new circuit, and that all will co-operate
In making the season of 1902 a great suc
cess, not only from the horsemen's stand
point, but for all other stockmen and
those Interested in fairs.

stock and for the different fairs and ex
hlbltlons. There Is going to be a big re
vival In horseracing all over the North
west, and the sport will be better con
ducted than ever before. Competition
will be close, and we propose to have
competent Judges and officials for our
meets. A general feeling of co-operation
exists among the horsemen and fair pro
moters of the new circuit, which Is to
arranged that competitors and exhibitors
will not have .to retrace their steps in
order to fill all the dates. Above all
things, we propose to have clean sport,
and no dirty work of any description will
be tolerated. The Oregon State Fair of
1S02 will be the best on record, as it is
already awakening great Interest among
all classes of people. Livestock condi
tions here In Oregon were never as fa
vorable as they are right now, the breed
ers being unable to supply the demand
for young stock."
Messrs. Simpson and Hellman, who have
leased the Irvlngton track, will spare no
efforts in making the Portland race meet
a success. In addition to their own
stables, some 50 horses are. being win
tered at Irvlngton. As soon as the weath
er will permit, active training will com
mence and the old racetrack will present
an animated scene. Among the horsenien
who are wintering their stock across the
river are: W. H. Bradford and Wes
Walters, of La Grande; T. D. Condon. W.
F. Watson and August Erlckson, of this
city.
Great Opportunity for Them to Re

Going; and Coming.
"Utah will swing splendidly into line In
support of the Lewis and Clark Centen
nial, and at the next session of the Leg
islature of that state a measure will be
Introduced providing for a comparative
exhibit of its .resources and industries.
Hoyt Sherman, chairman of the commit
tee appointed by' Governor Wells, of
Utah, has been In Portland for two day3
on private business. and on Thursday
had a long conference with H. W. Cor
bett, at which the situation was gone
over and Mr. Sherman assured Mr. Cor
bett of the hearty co-operation of his
state in making the 1905 Exposition an
overwhelming success.
Shortly before the close of the last
Legislative session a resolution was
passed Indorsing the Lewis and Clark
Centennial, and authorizing the Governor
to appoint a committee of three to keep
In touch with the plans being developed
In Portland, and to make recommenda
tions to the next Legislature for a Utah
exhibit. The committee appointed is com
posed of Hoyt Sherman, of Salt Lake,
chairman; Judge L. W. Shurtleff, of Og
den, and Hiram Clausen, of Salt Lake,
bishop of the Mormon church. The com
mittee has met Informally from time to
time, and has noted the progress made'
here In preparing the way for successful
culmination of plans under consideration.
"The enthusiasm which the people of
Portland have displayed." said Mr. Sher
man at the Portland yesterday, "assures
the success of the Exposition, "and you
can count on Utah coming to Portland
In 1905 with a large and comprehensive
exhibit. I am inclined to think that the
Lewis and Clark Centennial will be of
more real benefit to Utah than any of
the other expositions. Not only will a
large number of the visitors to Portland
pass through our state en route to the
Fair, but a goodly proportion of them
will probably remain several days in Salt

sinking spells that had occurred Thursday, and which caused so much alarm to
bis friends. In th early evening Dr. Bines was aroused out of the stupor that
had fallen on him" several times, but these periods of mental activity were ery
short, and he would soon subside into his former lethargic state. However, It is

"It will be a splendid opportunity for
Utah to show to the world the progress
that has been made In developing the
agricultural and mineral resources of tne
state. In the minds of many Eastern

classed with the bounding West, that ex

chiefly known because of the fact that
It Is the fountain-head of the Mormon

County School Superintendent Robinson
conducted an educational meeting at the
church at Gresham last night for the ben
efit of the patrons of the public school
who could not attend the Institute, which
will open this morning at 10 o'clock in
the schooihouse. There were some gen
eral exercises at the meeting. Including
muBlcal and literary numbers, but the
main Interest was In the talk Professor
Robinson made on the advantages of cen
tralizing the country schools. He thinks
there should be fewer weak country
schools, and contends that there should
be one or more strong schools where
there are many weak ones. He would
provide for transportation of pupils to
these school where they live some dis
tance away. He talked last night on "The
Improvement of the Country Schools,"
and In the course of his lecture said:
"I want to talk with the people of Gresh
am In a plain way about some of the ed
ucational problems that, are confronting
us today, and how best to solve them.
The day of arbitrary standards In edu
cation is past. Any one claiming to
be an educator and claiming to ad
vance a theory in education must be
willing for his theory to stand the test of
practical results. If a new study Is In
troduced, or a new method advocated, he
must be ready to answer the question,
To what end?' "
Superintendent Robinson then discussed
the growth of educational Ideas and com
pared our public school Ideas with the
educational Ideal of other nations. He
pointed out some of the recent changes
In school organization which have tended
toward a better unity of the school sys
tem -from, the primary school to the col
lege and university. He said:
"The schools have begun to recognize
other standards than literary standards.
Formerly the tendency seemed to be to
prepare a boy for college, that he might
in college bo educated, rsow tne ten
dency Is that whatever school work he
does In any direction shall be educative
so far as it goes. Universities now rec
ognize this, and recognize any prepara
tory course in so far as the pupil has
carefully pursued It.
"This broader view of practical educa
tion has built a new approach to useful
attainments which Is sure to bear fruit.
The farmer boy with an Industrial stand
ard has the same recognition as the boy
with a literary standard. He may now
devote his energies toward securing a
practical knowledge of soils, grains and
grasses, cattle, sheep and horses, weeds
and Injurious insects.
"We have gained much in this recogni
tion of industrial standards by our higher
Institutions of learning. We have other
problems that require a solution. N
"In my opinion, many of our Vural
schools should be centralized. Our educa
tional units are too small for best re
sults. The time Is at hand when we
must look at these matters squarely. I
consider that our present plan of organ
ization can be materially Improved. Oth
er states have met this problem and
solved It by changing slightly the plan
of organization. In Ohio, the experiment
was closely guarded, as all Innovations
should be It was such a success that
the restrictions were removed, and the
centralized Idea has done much toward
advancing the schools of that state. Oth
er states are Introducing the system, and
everywhere It meets with approval. The
results are fewer and better schools; boys
and girls are educated where they can
be at home evenings; transportation is
provided where needed; pupils remain
longer In school; the community life Is
Intensified.
"To Introduce the centralization plan
here would require permissive legislation
to establish It in favorable localities. Once
Introduced, I am confident its success
would soon be apparent."

Folly at Astoria.
Baker City Democrat.
Baker City, (Editor Democrat.) The
recent screeds published In the Dally As
torlan against the Port of Portland haye
become so obnoxious to all of the shippers
and business men of Eastern Oregon, that
they can no longer be passed over in si
lence. Looking at the matter from the
fairest standpoint It would appear to an
observer that' the Daily Astorian is an
adjunct of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Every article printed by the Astorian
against the harbor of Portland and the
Columbia River channel between Astoria
and Portland Is copied under broad head
lines by the P-I, and given as wide cir
culation as possible. The Astorian knows
that It lies when It says that there Is
difficult navigation In the Columbia River
between Astoria and Portland, and of such
a nature as to be a hindrance to commerce
now more than In the years past. It Is
a matter of 'record that this present sea
son the Oriental steamers drawing from
19& to 23 feet of water have passed up
and down the river without let or hin
drance. It Is also a patent fact to all who
read commercial reports that within tiio
past few days there have been lying in the
harbor In Astoria one Oriental liner and
a number of large sailing vessels that
made tho voyage from Portland to Astoria
without obstruction of any kind, waiting
an opportunity to put to sea. The Orien
tal steamer was detained at Astoria more
than 10 days and all were held In that
harbor because of the shallowness of tho
water on the bar at the mouth of the
Columbia. The telling of these truths does
not hurt the commerce of the state as
does the lying statements made by the
Astorian. Shipowners, shipping men, and
railroad men interested In the traffic of
the state know the facts. For selfish pur
poses of Its own, the Astorian has per
sistently for several years attempted to
mislead the general public In regard to our
commerce. INLAND EMPIKK.
FIXED THE FAMILY.
Grape-Nuts Set Them. Right.
Centenary Methodist Charcfe.
At Centenary Methodist Church, East Creek, Mich.
It Is better to have a food epidemic In
a family than an epidemic of sickness.
A young lady out at Hlbblng, Minn., tells
about the way Grape-Nuts won her fam
ily. She says: "When recovering from
typhoid fever, my doctor ordered Grape
Nuts Breakfast Food. I gained four
pounds the first week, and, as the pack
age was kept on the table for me, the
whole family started to eat the new food.
"We soon noticed a difference In my
younger brother's face, which had been
pale and bloodless, and who had been
suffering from chronic Inflammation of
the stomach. In a short time he began to
eat so heartily that we all remarked
about It, and before long he got so he
could eat anything without the least bad
effect.
"We often eat Grape-Nuts dry, as we
would candy and nuts, and It has a richer
taste than when soaked In water. The
best way Is to put on some good, rich
cream.
"My sister found that after we began
eating Grape-Nuts she had a much great
er supply of milk for her babe. We have
quit eating hot bread and meat for the
evening meal, and take In place some
nice Grape-Nuts, with cream, and a little
fruit, and have all Improved greatly in
health.
