OREGONTAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, March L On motion of Senator
Mitchell the Senate today set aside an
hour for hearing eulogies on the late Rep
resentative Tongue, of Oregon. There
were five addresses, some of those who
had intended speaking being unavoidably
absent. The tributes paid -were sincere
and impressive, particularly that of Sen
ator Mitchell, who spoke with deep feej
Ing as a friend of long years. Senator
Turner, of "Washington, "who had known
Mr. Tongue since 18S4 as one of the fore
most lawyers of the Pacific Northwest,
opened the ceremonies with a brief tribute,
in which he said that the deceased had
not sought public life; It had sought him,
and when ho yielded to the call he served
his state -with the highest honor and dis
tinction. In a comparatively short term
of public service he had risen to a posi
tion of leadership by reason of his dili
gence and his unswerving devotion to
duty.
Senator Mitchell's Tribute.
Senator Mitchell followed, reviewing at
eome length the different works of Mr.
Tongue, and Quoting many tributes paid
him by public men of Oregon when the
news of his death reached the state. As
he proceeded he was overcome more than
once with emotion, -which he "with diffi
culty controlled. In closing his beautiful
tribute Senator Mitchell saidr
"No representative in Congress was ever
more industrious or more watchful of the
Interests of his state or more alert in
guarding at all points and at all times
the rights and interests of the people he
so ably represented. His service as a
member of the river and harbor commit
tee In procuring needful appropriations
for the rivers and harbors, not only of
Oregon, but of the whole country, can
not be overestimated, and will not soon
be forgotten. To him, as chairman of the
committee on irrigation, is largely due the
House legislation of last session upon the
nil-important subject of irrigation of arid
lands, while his Indefatigable labors in se
curing the passage through the House of
the bill pensioning the Indian War veter
ans must stand forever as a bright Jewel
of his official record, and tears of affec
tion and gratitude will attest the love of
those grizzled and grateful veterans so
long as any of them are permitted to live.
Truly, the State of Oregon, in the death
of Mr. Tongue, has lost an able and faith
ful and efficient Representative, a loyal
and devoted friend. Mr. Tongue was a
charming personality. He was devoted
and constant in his friendships, unyield
ing in his loyalty to his friends, uncom
promising in his fidelity to every personal
and political obligation. No consideration
of personal or political advantage or pref
erment could Induce him to swerve a
hair's breadth from the lino of his con
victions. His personal integrity was
never questioned. The legacy, public and
private, he has left to his family is free
from blight" or stain.
"His public career, so suddenly brought
to an end by him who doeth all things
well, was, In so far as he was permitted
to pursue it, a complete success. From
the day he entered upon his duties as a
member of tho 55th Congress until sum
moned to a higher life he gradually and
rapidly grew In influence In, the respect
of his associates and In the power to
command results In tho interest of his
state and of the Nation.
"Mr. Tongue was a man of untiring In
dustry. He never faltered, even before
seemingly insurmountable obstacles, in
honorable and earnest effort to accomplish
his purposes. He was of that class who
believe that 'life without Industry is
guilty.'
"He was ever ready to sacrifice" personal
effort to advance the interests of his con
stituents as a whole, or to do a personal
favor to the most humble. Throughout
Oregon many hearts are weeping and
many eyes are moist with tears in grief
over the sudden death of their honored
Representative. Cicero's aphorism. 'No
one has lived a short life who has per
formed its duties with unblemished char
acter, Is truly applicable to Mr. Tongue."
Review by Perkins.
Senator Perkins, of California, vividly
reviewed the development of Oregon since
tho days whon Mr. Tongue settled there
with his parents, and showed the many
ways in which he had been closely identi
fied with the upbuilding of the section.
He pointed out that throughout his Con
gressional career Mr. Tongue had ever
been a foremost champion of legislation
that would build up the commerce of the
Pacific Coast and afford markets for their
products. Not only had he labored earn
estly for river and harbor improvements
in his own -state, but in others, and had
advocated a better protection of the coast
In the interest of the rapidly developing
commerce.
"Armed with a full degree of industry
and energy, his Indefatigable ambition
buoyed him upward until he surmounted
all obstacles and reared for himself a
name that will leave Its Impression upon
the memories of his neighbors and con
stituents." Senator Dubois, of Idaho, said:
"He substantially aided in perfecting the
legislation of the last session, which is
destined to make the deserts bloom and
the barren fields productive. His name
"will always be intimately associated with
the National Irrigation law. He likewise
labored for an open waterway down the
Columbia River, which will give to hun
dreds of prosperous wheatgrowers of his
state, as well as Washington and Idaho,
cheap transportation to the ocean on their
immense crops of grain. In him the West
l03t a loyal, faithful and honest law
maker." Senator Simon Closed.
Senator Simon closed with a brief testi
monial of his regard for Mr. Tongue. "He
was a man of moral worth and tireless
energy." he said. "One of the foremost
lawyers of his state, and an orator of
marked ability, he was a power in politi
cal affairs of his commonwealth and of
the Nation. His achievements were those
of which the most favored might well be
proud. Ko held intensely strong and posi
tive opinions on public questions, and. al
though he did not speak often, could, when
occasion demanded, ably and forcibly de
bate them. He was an impressive speak
er. Asa member of the House be was in
defatigable in working for Oregon, and
never lost an opportunity to advance the.
interests of his district and state. As a
member o'f the river and harbor committee
he was an influential factor in securing
the needed appropriations for rivers and
harbors of Oregon. In National affairs be
was an earnest and successful legislator."
The other Congressmen eulogized were:
Peter J. Otey. of Virginia: James Moody,
of North Carolina, and John N. W. Rum
ple, of Iowa.

ASTORIA. Feb. 2S. Special.) Charles Walker Halderman. private
secretary to Senator Fulton, was born in Pawnee County. Nebraska", In
1SS1, and is a son of State Senator William J. Halderman, of Burchard
Kan., his mother being Senator Fulton's sister. His father Is president
of the bank at Burchard. and Is Interested in other banks in that sec
tion of the country. In these young Halderman became familiar with
business affairs. He attended the University of Omaha for two years,
and subsequently graduated from the University of Kansas, after a two
years course. Two years ago he came to Astoria, and has been employed
as bookkeeper at the cannery of A. Booth & Co., until receiving his ap
pointment from Senator Fulton.
expressed some remorse and showed signs
of breaking down before the enraged
father. Llttleman stood outside the cell,
and after he looked at Knapp said:
"I have never seen this man. I do not
care to look at him any more.
Knapp said: T am just as sorry as
can be that little Emmi is dead. She
had eyes and hair like yours."
As Llttleman turned away, tears stood
In Knapp's eyes. This was his first dem
onstration In that way.
The prisoner was In better health to
day, and he passed Sunday quietly.
Judge Belden said today that he. had
not been asked to call a special grand
Jury, and that there might be none, as
the courts are very busy now.
While convicted of minor offenses.
Knapp was never chirged with capital
offenses until his brother-in-law last week
started an investigation. With all the
charges of incendiarism, robbery and oth
er crimes, it la conceded that his pre
dominant trait Is that of brutality. Two'
of his terms In penitentiaries were for
criminal assiults. The officers say he
lured his -victims to secluded spots before
strangling them, and that his delibera
tion is shown In his efforts to evade de
tection. In Jail Knapp mingles freely with other
prisoners, eats well, sleeps well and talks
cheerfully and freely to all visitors. The
most damaging statements he makes with
a m inner as matter-of-fact as tho ordi

In any form and was not known as a

but Is not allowed to see newspapers.
He enjoys card-playing with other pris

Family Said to Have Had Knovrledge
of Knapp's Crimes.
CINCINNATI. March L Since It has
been determined to arraign Alfred Knapp
at Hamilton tomorrow and have a trial
as soon as possible for the murder of
Hannah Goddard, his third wife, the ef
forts of the city and county officials here
have not been relaxed In securing evidence
regarding the murders of Emma Llttle
man. Maay Dkart and Jennie Connors,
the three crimes which Knapp confessed
to committing in Cincinnati. While neith
er the parents nor the brother. Cyrus
Knapp. nor the sisters, Mrs. King and
Mrs. Wenzel, of Hamilton, arc under ac
tual police surveillance here, the officers
are keeping track of them.
The family all agree In their statements
about Alfred being Insane. His father
says Alfred would be better off dead than
alive, but his mother worries over such
an ending. His brother Cyrus and his
sister. Mrs. Wenzel, are doing all they
can for the defense, and have created o
much sympathy for their aged parents
that the Knapp home was thronged to
day with visitors, many of whom brought
flowers.
The Kings aided in the apprehension of
the prisoner. After killing his third wife
In Hamilton on the morning of Decem
ber 22. Knapp on the night of that date
called on his brother-in-law, E. F. King,
in Cincinnati, and Inquired If his wife had
been there. King had suspected Alfred
of former murders, but on account of
appeals of the family was restrained from
reporting the fact to the police. When
wife No. 3 disappeared, however, neither
Mr, nor Mrs. King could suppress their
suspicions. Hannah Goddard had lived
with them and was regirded as a daugh
ter. It will be one week tomorrow since
King, accompanied by a Cincinnati de
tective, went to Hamilton and. after see
ing Mr. Goddard and others, communicat
ed with Captain Lcnehan, of the Hamil
ton police, who arrested Knapp " at In
dianapolis the next day.
It is now generally believed hero that
King had his suspicions confirmed re
cently by Knapp's mother, who got a
letter from her son, telling about his
crimes, and that tho aged mother told
also, so as to prevent Alfred from mur
dering his fourth wife, who is now in In-
dlanapolis. All possible efforts were
made here to "get this letter end others,
but Mrs. "Wenzel insists that Alfred's
letters were burned.
Mrs. Sadie Wenxel says King came to
her house last Tuesday night and said
he bad put the Hamilton police on the
trail because Alfred had robbed him.
King claimed that Alfred took his revol
ver and other things when he visited
them. Mrs. Wensel blamed her sister,
Mrs. King, with urging her husband to
have Alfred arrested. She also blamed
Hannah Goddard Knapp for separating
Wenzel, who now lives at Chicago, and
herself. Mrs. King, In her interview,
stated that Alfred wrote Mrs. "Wenzel
some" time ago that Hannah was now
out of the wiy. Mrs. Wenzel denies re
ceiving such a letter. The counter-statements
of tho slter3 are attracting much
attention. It is thought that one may
be called at Hamilton by the prosecution,
whllo there la no doubt of the other being
called for tho defense.

ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 23., via Eydt
