With the close of the last series of games at Walla Walla and La Grande, the sea son In the Inland Empire League is one half completed. The standing of the four teams at the present time Is as follows: Won. Lost. P. C. Pendleton 17 7 .703 Walla Walla 12 12 .500 Baker Cty 9 14 .391 La Grande 9 14 .391 The last series between Walla Walla and Pendleton shows that the -acq for first place Is between these two teams. The Indians have a big advantage at present, but a streak of bad luck might easily land them in tho second place. Walla Walla has a strong team, and they all play together. They are nearly all old league players, and are foxy to the last degree. Any umpire who officiates at a game in which the Sharpshooters participate will have his troubles. Breed, who is the best umpire in the league, was nearly mobbed in WaHa Walla Sunday for calling Treadway out at the plate and ended the game In favor of Pendle ton, when the contrary decision would have tied the score. Pendleton goes to Baker City for the next series and Walla Walla to La Grande. Both the visiting teams expect to return home with at least three out of four of the games. Brockoff, formerly of the Utah League, Is now playing rightfield for Pendleton. His work so far has been first-class. Walla Walla has lost a good man In Speck Hulbert who has gone to play with dakland. Ho is a fine fielder, a good sticker, and when it comes to kicking, he cannot be beat. Wilner, of the Pendleton pitching staff, has been released at his own request. He was the last one of the original team which was organized hero last Spring. Rhea, who has been catching for Pen dleton, has been appointed umpire in place of Ryan, resigned. Rhea has many friends in each of the four cities in the league, if ho wish him success in his new position. Slats Taylor has recovered his arm, and pitched a splendid game in Walla Walla Sunday. Young Titus, who was his op ponent, was also in fine form. Swindells has been doing fine work be hind the bat for Walla Walla. Denny Shea, the regular catcher, having been signed by Portland. It is the Intention of the Pendleton team to take a-trip after the league schedule has been played out, and sotoe games may be arrangpd with teams f the Pa cific Northwest League.

Murderer, a .Japanese, Was Picked Up at Portland Coolc Is Held as Accessory. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. l5. Advices have reached this city from Honolulu, per steamer Alameda, of the murder of Cap tain J. J. Jacobson, m cf the lumber schooner ' Fred J. Woods, by the cabin boy, a Japanese named. Tanbara Gesaboro. S. Oto, the Japanese cook, is charged with being an accessory before the fact The murder occurred on the high seas July 30, the Captain being stabbed with a butcher knife. . The four-masted schooner Fred J. Woods, bound from- Portland to China with a corgo of lumber, anchored off the Port of Honolulu early on the morning of August 5, flying signals of distress and in charge of Mate H. Meyer. The cus tom officer who wenf out to her found Captain Jacobson lying dead and muti lated, wrapped In a shroud In the fore part of the vessel. The Japanese cabin boy.' who had butchered the Captain, was lo the hold, heavily Ironed with lumber piled all around him. The Japanese cook was found locked In a cabin. In another cabin, with her flve-months'-old baby in her arms and a 21 months' -old girl playing about her, was Mrs. Jacobson, the widow of the dead commander. The story of the murder patched to gether from details given by different members of the crew Is as follows: Both the cook and the cabin boy were picked up in Portland. After sailing -the cook and the boy refused to do any work that did not please them. Between 6:S0 and 7 Al M July 30, the Japtaln went to the galley to learn why the boy had not done certain work which had been ordered. The commander found the boy sitting In the- cook's galley and when questioned as to his negligence, he drew from under his coat a long butcher knife and made a lunge at the Captain. The latter got out of harm's way and ordered the boy to give him the knife. At this command, a small panel, which Is used to pass food through the cook's galley to the sailors' quarters, was opened by a French sailor named More. He saw the boy "with the knife and noticed that the Captain had the boy by the shoulders, but More was powerless to go to the assistance of the commander, the hole being too small to allow his body to pass through. The cook was not in sight The boy and Jacobson struggled to the donkey room where the passageway Is only two and a half feet wide. The boy, was seen to bend his knees and run the knife up through the Captain's body. The Captaia fell over the little assassin's body and In a moment the wholo ship's crew and Mrs. Jacobson were on the scene. It was only the determined stand taken by Mate Meyer which prevented the crew from throwing the murderer In to the sea. The Captain was carried on deck, dead. Captain Jacobson is spoken of in the highest terms by the entire crew, who say that he treated them, as well as the boy. In the niost gentlemanl ymanner. The Japanese expressed no sorrow for the deed. When the cook was leaving the boat he was heard to say in Japanese to the cabin boy, "Don't you give me away." This remark caused an Investigation to be made and he was charged with being an accessory to the murder. (The schooner F. J. Woods sailed from the Columbia River July 22, for Telntau, China. Her cargo was 815,000 feet of lumber, dispatched by the Pacific Export Lumber Company. Captain jacobson was held In high regard in Portland shipping circles). C.OULD NOT IDENTIFY HER. Inquest Over Remains Supposed to Be Those of Minnie Mitchell. CHICAGO. Aug. 19. Interest' in th Bartholin-MItchell murder mystery today centered about the Inquest' vWph:xnray determine the cause of the deith" of. Min nie Mitchell. Three men already 'Itand accused as principals or accessories of? the crime Oscar Thompson, f ormer'Yoorier .of Mrs. Bartholin's; John Claffy, stableman, who took care of the horse Thompson drove, and Edward Counselman, an In timate friend of William Bartholin, the supposed matricide. Four members of the Mitchell family testified at the Inquest that they could not make a positive identification of the body found lying in the weeds on the prairie at Seventy-fourth street and be lieved to be that of Minnie Mitchell. These four persons, the father, brother, sister and sIstcMn-law of the missing girl, declared that the only Identification they could make was that part of the cloth ing found near the body belonged to Miss Mitchell. Following this, Coroner's Physician Springer made a statement to the Jury in which he termed the body as that of an "unknown or unidentified woman." Dr. Springer stated positively that he did not believe the body to be that of Miss Mitchell because of the ad vanced state of decomposition. When the body was found. Miss Mitchell had been missing but eight days, and Dr. Springer declared' that It would have been Impossible for her body to have de composed as much as the one discovered on the prairie. Inspector Hunt produced a witness who positively identified Oscar Thompson, who Is under arrest for complicity In the crime, as one of two men on a street car hear the place where the body was found and a photograph of William Bartholin as that of the other man. Thompson, Claffy and Counselman, all bf whom nave been held to the Grand Jury, were' present at the Inquest but their attorneys refused to allow them to testify. The Inquest was adjourned un. til tomorrow morning. Drowned His Four Children. SALINA, Kan.. Aug. 19.

Too often the work of the pioneer Is forgotten: btitr happily, through the agency of those who preserve Portland's early history portions of their lives are saved. Our pioneer's business life, his energy and success are Justly extolled. We should not overlook, however, his "good part" In upbuilding the morals of our city. We find that our friend was one of the first Board of Trustees of the First Pres byterian Church, viz: H. A. Hogue, W. S. Ladd. J. M. Blossom, J. C Alnsworth and B. F. Smith. This board was elected August 20, 1SG0. To those familiar with our early history it is well known that these were men of sterling worth and ability. These men made the hazardous Journey "across the plains" or the 'peril ous trip by water and arrived In Port land financially "broke," but with an excellent capital of energy on hand. We cannot forget their estimable wives who, in many Instances, accompanied them. They have raised families whose children are now observed In the professional walks of life and in the busy marts of trade. The life and character of such men can not be overlooked. They have left an Impress which will always remain and which history cannot fall to record. A FRIEND. Minor Reforms in Order. PORTLAND, Aug. 19. (To the Editor.) I have no desire to interfere with tho efforts of the Civic Improvement Combine, much less In connection with the putting up or tearing down of circus and other posters. Our Civic friends are no doubt honestly trying to benefit the city and they should be encouraged In every proper effort But It occurs to me that re form in their bent does not call for harsh measures such as have hindered the fruition of some of their work. Now if Mr. McCfesker and his co-laborers want to do a real good thing for the city they will not waste any more time going at circus posters which give them a qualm of Puritanical pain, but arm themselves with a dozen spike drivers and set to ,work driving down the ugly spikes that ralee their hideous bald heads abovo tho wooden sidewalks of the city. This done, they should go In force to the city street cleaning department and see that the street-sweeping wagons are not allowed to raise old Cain and a lot of dust before 12 o'slock at night They might also give attention to the ordinary regulation of swill gatherers who fill the otherwise lam blent alt- with offal foul odors at an hour much earlier than allowed under law. While theyare about It they might nail down some of the teeters that afflict the sidewalks. "Bo practical; If you can't, be as prac tical as you can. R. W. M. All Bids Rejected. Contract for carrying the malls between Grcflham and Cleone was not let on Ailguat 15, as expected. After advertising twice for bids the department came to the conclusion that all applicants were too high. Not over $230 per year will be paid for the service and7 none of the bids were less than $400, which was considered excessive. The country Is too prosperous and no one can be- found to work for Uncle Sam for less than farmer's wges. Tame Fight at Butte. BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 19.

Hot Sance Knocks Ont Swede. Tho lifc of a Third-street restaurant keeper was mado miserable for awhile tho other night by a thirsty fisherman from Astoria. It Is the custom in the down town eating houses to make the tomato catsup very hot. In order that a man paying for a 10-cent meal may not use 5 cents worth of the iuce. A Swede came Into his place late in the evening and tried to quench an Inextinguishable thirst from the catsup bottle. The first news of this was conveyed to the pro prietor by an enormous and terrifying splutter from the table of the newcomer. With the best Intentions In the world he went to the aid of the unfortunate fisher man and was greeted with a solar plexus blow. Before the Infuriated customer could repeat the performence the pun gent sauce overcame him, and he laid himself- out on the floor groaning horri bly. The only restorative the restaurant keeper could think of was water and, with the aid of a waiter, a vast quantity of -this emolument was Introduced Into the system of the agonizing Swede. This had Its due effect and in time the pa tient was brought around and could once more draw his breath. However, he was very sick from the effects of hia experi ence. A man who happened to be of a sympathetic mood asked him what was the matter. The fisherman, with return ing belligerency, gasped wildly and, shouted: "It wass the bad water they raek me drecnk that haf made me seek." The restaurant keeper privately ex plained that If it had been the tobasco sauce he would have been perfectly sat isfied to see the fisherman drink it with out counting the ccet AT THE HOTELS.
