WEARY OF BEING A FUGITIVE
felayer of George Hicks Eludes Pur
Bult for a Week Only to Go
Voluntarily to Certain.
Punishment.
James Williams, alias McDonald and liee. ,
who shot and Killed George Hicks, alias
"Cockney George," at 67 North Second
street, Sunday night. May 11.. surrendered
himself to Jailor George Mitchell at the
County Jail, last night at 11:30 o'clock.
Jailor Mitchell had retired for the
night, -when he was awakened by a thun
derous knock at the outer Jail door, and
when he swung back the bolts, he was
astonished to see Williams standing be
fore him. The two had met before.
"Well, I've come to give myself up,"
remarked Williams, in a matter-of-fact
tone.
"You 'have come to the right place,"
replied the astonished jailer, as ho ush
ered in his strange guest and locked the
door behind him.
Tm sick and tired of it all," went on
Williams. "S,ay, I've been in this town
all the time since the affair happened.
Why, I passed Detective Kerrigan one
night, on one of the bridges. I thought
I was done for, sure, but he passed
on. Gimme some place to sleep, will
you? I'm tired out" And that was
all Williams would say. He was secure
ly locked up for the night, and it was
not possible to interview him.
All along the police and deputy sheriffs
calculated that Williams Tvas hiding
somewhere in Whltechapel, waiting for a
chance to get on board some ship, and
they guarded every avenue of escape so
far as it was possible to do so. The
entire river .front was closely patrolled,
and this fact was no doubt communicated
to Williams as he lay In his hiding place.
Various misleading clews were run down
In the chase, and on one occasion the
police thought they had their man. Word
was received about a week ago that a
strange man answering to Williams
description was in an up-town saloon,
bemoaning the fact that he had done
something that he wished he had not
done, and that he was sure the gallows
stared him in the face. Two detectives
rushed for that saloon at breakneck
speed, and found that the suspected man
was a harmless drunk suffering from the
effects of too much liquid refreshment.
Hicks and Williams quarreled because
the former Insisted on having the luxury
of two suppors the same night. Williams
was part proprietor of the, boarding-house
conducted by Mrs. Annie Lynch, and he.
Hicks and several other men had spent
the greater part of the afternoon drink
ing out of the same can of beer, which
had been .filled several times. Hicks
swallowed some soup shortly after 5
o'clock, and went out with Robert Nelson
as far as the terminal yards, where Nel
son got permission to absent himself from
work that night, as he did not feel welL
On returning to the Lynch-WIlllams
boarding-house, Hicks found the door
locked, and that did not Improve his
quarrelsome temper. In reply to repeat
ed knocks, Williams finally opened the
door, and Hicks immediately demanded
his supper.
"You've had your supper. Do you want
two suppers In one night?" sneeringly
asked Williams. Hicks Insisted that he
had hud no supper, and Williams called
him. a name. The other man replied In
like terms, and they had a fist fight for
nearly one-half hour. They were sep
arated several times, but they clinched
again. Hicks broke loose and left the
room, saying that he would bring back an
ax. In the meantime Williams went to
his room and brought out a cavalry car
bine, that nobpdy in the house knew was
loaded. Hicks came back flourishing a
tablespoon, and Williams Imedlately fired,
the bullet striking Hicks' left breast
The wounded man dropped like a log.
Williams lifted him and threw him into
a lumber-room at the rear of the dining
room, where the shooting took place, and
demanded and received 523 from Mrs.
Xiynch. who had been a spectator of what
had taken place. Williams also received
Ills bank book. In which he was credited
with about ?G00. He then stepped into
the room where he had thrown his victim,
and he was last seen by a woman crossing
Third and Pine streets, and walking west
ward. The alarm, was Immediately given,
and when the police reached the Lynch
Wllllams house, they found Hicks dying
or dead. One policeman told the Coroner
at the Inquest that Hides may have been
breathing his last when the police broke
into the room through the darkness, but
he was not sure. Telegrams and tele
phone messages were Immediately sent In
various directions, but no trace of Will
iams was found until last night. He had
plenty of friends In Whltechapel, and he
prooably was taken care of as long as the
J23 lasted. Apparently he found it im
possible to raise any money on his bank
book.
Williams' friends have asserted all along
that If he was caught he would probably
enter a plea of self-defense.
they are afloat, and on top of any rise, and
it would be water on their wheels In every
sense of the phrase. If the lowlands are
flooded they would have lots of business
carrying the Inhabitants to higher ground.
B. FRIEMANN IN LONDON.
Well-Knovrn Portland Caterer Turns
Up In England.
Many who were residents of Portland
from 10 to 20 years ago will remember Ben
Friemann, a well-known restaurateur of
those days, commonly known as "Xreave-It-to-Me"
Friemann, from his habit of
telling his patrons who wished a good
meal to leave it to him. Sometimes, when
the bill was made out, they wished they
hadn't. Friemann started a coffee-house
here 18 or 20 years ago, and, after a va
ried experience, became proprietor of
one of the finest restaurants in the city.
He made money, but could not save it.
He was married and divorced and again
married while living here, the last time
to an employing dressmaker, who, it was
said, thought be had plenty of money
and who thought he was rich, and they
were both disappointed. He finally went
from here to Honolulu, in 1S93, leaving
many who have ever since had an Inter
est In him. His career in Honolulu was
much the same as here, and he finally
went from there to Australia with a
slelght-o'-hand man, and the last heard
of him he had left Australia for Egypt.
In a copy of the Hawaiian Gazette, of
Honolulu, of May 10, appears a letter
from George L.ycurgus, of Honolulu, writ
ten from London, stating that he had met
Friemann there, and Inclosing Friemann's
business card, which read as follows:
OREGON HOUSE.
IT, Upper Bedford Place, Russell

First Class Board and Residence
. And Superior Apartments.

trally Located.

TTom this It would seem that Friemann
has not forgotten Oregon, and doubtless
will be glad to see Oregonlans visiting
London.
POISON IN THE CANDY?
Mr. Bailey Tries nn Experiment,
"With. Unknown Results. ,
Food Commissioner Bailey is anxious' In
regard to the fate of one of his friends,
who, he has reasons to suppose, poisoned
himself yesterday. On entering his office
yesterday morning he found a paper sack
on his desk which had evidently been
thrown in through the transom. On ex
amining It he found that It was filled
with peanut candy, and attached was a
card signed by a responsible citizen, stat
ing that he believed the candy to be pois
oned, and asking that it be analyzed. He
had hardly seated himself at his desk
when a young man entered In search of
news, and, while endeavoring to dig some
information out of Mr. Bailey, amused
himself with eating the candy with which
the sack was filled. H remarked several
times that the candy was very good, and,
from the rapidity with which It disap
peared, he evidently knew when he struck
a good thing. Finally, when It was about
all gone, he asked where the candy came
from. Mr. Bailey said he did not know,
but that there was a card attached to the
sack which would explain. The young
man read the card and, turning deathly
pale, exclaimed:
"Good Gord! Is this fcandy poisoned?"
"I am Just waiting to find out," replied
Mr. Bailey. "If you die, I shall know It
Is, and I will be saved the trouble of
making an analysis. If you survive after
eating so much, I shall take it for granted
that the candy is wholesome."
The young man rushed out as if going
for a doctor, and, as he has not been
seen since, Mr. Bailey is 6llghtly worried
about the result of his experiment.

WATER COMES UP SLOWLY
Just an Ordinary June Rise, Say the
Experts.
PIANO
BARGAINS
The water In the river is still slowly
rising, and as usual at this season, many
arc predicting a flood, because there is
"much snow in the mountains." Those
who say this as a general thing know
nothing about how much snow there is in
the mountains, which are numerous and
scattered over a vast territory, as the
sources of the Columbia extend away Into
the Rockies.
Food Commissioner Bailey, who visited
Montana a short time ago, says there
is but little snow In the mountains, as
there was no good sleighing between here
and Helena. This, however, cuts no par
ticular figure In the matter of a flood, as
there is always enough snow "In the
mountains" at this tlmo of year to flood
the low lands along the river If a hot
spell should bring It all out at once. This
is something that seldom happens, and
the cool weather at this season, which
some complain of. Is what prevents floods
in the Columbia,
The water came over the lower wharf at
Ash-street dock Sunday morning, and at
noon yesterday was about a foot deep
there. Captain Mountain said It was ris
ing very slowly yesterday afternoon, and
he expects nothing more than an ordin
ary June rise.
At the foot of Washington street yes
terday afternoon the water was within a
foot of the lower wharf, and the steam
boats loomed up above it and passengers
liad to clamber up a gangplank to
get on boats. At the foot of Alder street
a walk has been built across between the
upper docks of the wharves, so that there
are slips for two boats to lan.d passengers
on during high water. The steamboatmen

BOARD OP TRADE HEARS REPORTS
OX THE SUBJECT.
The
Sir. Gulnean Thinks It May Reach.
$250,000 Tariff Reduction IVltu
Islands Favored.
Two reports In regard to the construc
tion of the proposed drydock were read
to the Board of Trade at Its meeting last
night. One "was from James M. Moore,
who stated, after an Interview with Clerk
Stevens, of the Port of Portland Commis
sion, that Designing Engineer Blackwell
will g6 East "to examine the various
docks now in use, also to acquire Informa
tion as to any recent Improvements and
guard against any infringements. The
Commission of1 the Port of Portland has
estimated the cost of the dock at $170,000.
If the plans "furnished by Mr. Blackwell
are rejected he is to receive per cent
of this amount. Should they be satis
factory he will receive 5 per cent, and
agree to visit the work once or twice
per month. Should he be compelled to
come oftener he is to receive 520 per day
and traveling expenses. For all other
work, such as locating the site of the
dock and all work that is not strictly
confined to the construction of the dock,
he receives extra pay. The Port of Port
land calculates on 5170,000 for the con
struction of the dock, but your commit
tee criticises two features, of the con
tract, first, the paying of 520 per day for
extra time in correcting mistakes or mis
management of work resulting through
negligence or incompetency of engineer or
assistant left in charge of work; second,
the neglect to provide any penalty for
such mistakes or faulty work, 'and third,
the payment of 3& per cent, or about
5GC00, In case plans are not accepted."
The second was from Thomas Gulnean,
who added, to Mr. Moore's report in rela
tion to Blackwell's trip East the words,
"and knowledge as to how a drydock
should be built," and "It is the opinion
of your committee that the drydock is as
yet In the air, as the filto Is not yet se
lected, northo kind of-dock decided upon;
In fact, everything is chaos." On the cost
of the drydock, which the commission
placed at 5170,000. Mr. Gumean said that
"from what your commltee has seen In
regard to It, it will be nearer 5200.000 or
5250,000," and that there should be a pen
alty for mistakes in faulty work.
reports were placed on ule.
Thomas G-. Greene, a member of the
legislative committee, presented the fol
lowlpg resolution, which was adopted:
We cordlalljr indorse the report of the cora
mltteo on foreign commerce and the revenue
laws of the Chamber of Commerce of the
State of New York, urging reduction of the
tariff on Imports from Cuba, adopted April 10,
1002.
We favor a reduction of at least 50 per cent
In the present tariff on Cuban products, first,
as a National moral duty, and, second, as a
commercial necessity. And when such re
duction Is made we shall be only half right.
The arguments for a 50 per cent reduction are
conclusive for a total abolition of the tariff.
It it is necessary and right to make a re
duction on imports from Cuba, which is not a
part of the United States, and where the flas
will be hauled down on May 20, 1002. -what
Justification is there for a tariff on Imports
from the Philippine Islands, which are a part
of the United States, and where our flag still
floats? Wo have been promised trade expan
sion as a result of the retention of those Isl
ands, but there can be no such expansion If
we are compelled to climb high-tariff walls
erected by ourselves against our own posses
sions, and against our own commerce and
against our own people, exploitation of the
islands by recipients of special grants and
privileges Is not National trade expansion. The
Pacific Coast desires commerce with the islands
and their people, not private snaps and spe
cial grafts, and this organization in particular
demands not merely a reduction in the Philip
pine tariff, but Its total abolition.
The improvement of the mouth of the
Columbia was spoken of by President
Beach, and Judge Seneca Smith was au
thorized to draw up a resolution favoring
the passage of the river and harbor bill
now before Congress, and asking the New
Tork Chamber of Commerce to assist in
securing its passage.
A letter was received from John "W.
Paddock, recorder of Industry LiOdge, A.
O. U. W., In regard to the reception of
the delegates to the supreme lodge of the
order, which will meet In Portland in
June. The board was requested to ap
point a member of the reception commit
tee, and by unanimous consent President
Beach was1 named for the honor.
The advisability of establishing a
smelter in Portland was discussed briefly,
and Messrs. Albee, Crofut and Fisk were
appointed a committee to Investigate and
report at the meeting to be held June 7.
Mr. Qulnean called attention to the
miserable condition of crosswalks in some
sections of the city, and said that stone
blocks should be laid instead of planks,
as at present. Mr. Gulnean and Mr. Ap
pel were appointed a committee to look
into the matter, to requesE the Lewis and
Jlartc Civic Improvement Association to
assist in securing the improvement, and
to appear before the Common Council and
bring in the crosswalk question if necessary.
THE" SILVER KING.'
Great Drama Will Soon Be Given
at the Baker.
The following correspondence explains
itself: '
Portland, Or., May 19, 1902. Mr.
George L. Baker, Proprietor Baker's
Theater, Portland Dear Mr. Baker: It
seems to me It would be a misfortune
if Mr. Stuart should complete the pres
ent engagement of his excellent com
pany at your theater without producing
"The Silver King." This sterling and
beautiful drama made an Impression of
goodness and power upon me as a young
man which I should like to see duplicated
for the many hundreds of theater-going
young people in this city. Few p.lays,
if any, have exceeded it in drawing power
in the great cities of Great Britain and
the United States, and the moral lesson
it carries Is unsurpassed, to my way of
thinking.by even "The Old Homestead." In
an age of French Importations and native
coarseness, the people of Portland should
welcome a play In which there Is neither
seduction nor intrigue, in which honest
love comes into possession of Its own,
in which wives are above suspicion, in
which religion Is not mentioned to be
ridiculed, and marital fidelity Is not as
sailed. An eminent clergyman once re
marked that the story of "Wilfred Den
ver, with its infinite pathos, heroic suf
fering and final reunion of a sorely
tried but loving family, affords a more
impressive and helpful lesson to young
men than any writing outside of Holy
Writ. No one who ias ever seen "The
Silver King" can forget the solemnity
of its warnings and the touching ten
derness of its many beautiful passages
and situations. Thougn I am well aware
of the labors attending its production,
from the exactions of Its many and dif
ficult paits and its elaborate scenic re
quirements, I am persuaded that the ar
tistic and moral benefits certain to ac
crue to the community from Its presen
tation in such capable hand? would af
ford a lasting satisfaction to yourself
and Mr. Stuart. Even if the production
could not be reached until the closing
week of the company's stay, there is
no play upon which the present memor
able engagement could more surely count
for a pleasant memory and a- cordial

Managing Editor Oregonian My Dear
Sir: I take pleasure in assuring you
that both Mr, Stuart and myself will take
immediate steps to secure the right to
