DeteGtives Hampered.in Run'
ning Down Murderers.
THEY KNOW WHO KILLED CALOF
Two Frnit Vender Accused of Com
mitting Crime, bnt the Suspects
Did Not Stay to Be Ar
, rested.
Max Calof was murdered Juno 22. On
the following day Detectives Snow ana
Kerrigan secured evidence tending to Iden
tify the murderers but In hope of locating
them kept the information to themselves.
By July 1 the detectives had secured evi
dence enough to warrant them In trying
to capture Leo Griggs, also known as
Toughnuts," and Charles Leslie, two
fruit venders, whom they believed guilty
of murder. ....
Under date of July 1, tho following let
ter was sent to Chief of Police George
W. "Wittman, of San Francisco, by Chief
Hunt: ,
"During an 'attempt to hold up two fruit
peddlers, father and son, in their own
barn in this city on June 22, 1902, two
highwaymen shot and killed the father
and made their 'getaway As far as
the case stands at present, we suspect two
' hobo fruit peddlers, Tvho were in our city
but a short time, and If captured I think
we have a good case against them. If
they are in San Francisco they will be
found among peddlers and commission
houses. One Is well known to some of
your detectives. His description 13 as fol
lows: "Xieo Grlgge, alias 'Doughnuts;' 22 to 24;
5 feet 7 or 8 Inches; weight, 150 or 155; dark
complexion; smooth shaven at the time of
the murder. Home, San Francisco. "Worked
as fireman and water tender on transports
between your city and Manila. He Is
also a fruit peddler. His people live
around Burnel Heights and Is known
around Twenty-fourth and Folsom
streets. I am Informed that District De
tective Graham knows him well. His
people sent letters to Portland lately, but
as he left our city Immediately after the
murder, the letters were returned to your
city. Leo Griggs will undoubtedly cpm
munlcate with his people. Kindly watch
his mall. Can you get his photo? Leo
Griggs is supposed to have done the
shooting.
"No Two: Charles Leslie, Home, Pitts
burg, Pa.; 28 to 30; 5 feet 4 or 5V6 inches;
weight, 120 to 125, sandy complexion; may
wear mustache now, which would be
sandy, small and thin; middle finger of
left hand clear off to joint; Is a peddler
by profession, and a heavy drinker.
At the time of the murder he wore a
brown coat and vest, which are well worn
and coat hangs on him, striped trousers;
stripes hardly noticeable as the trousers
are old.
"Kindly use your utmost endeavors to
locate this man Leo Griggs, by Hvatchlng
his mail, as he will no doubt communicate
with his folks and In that way you may
be able to get some Information of his
whereabouts. Also make Inquiry among
the fruit peddlers In your city, as that
is his business. "We have had a number
of hold-ups here lately, which has ended
in the killing of this old fruit peddler and
I think we have a good case against the
two fruit peddlers described above.
"Thanking you for.your best endeavors
in the apprehension of this man Griggs,
and that I may he able to reciprocate In
the near future, I remain. Yours truly,
"CHARLES H. HUNT.
"Chief of Police."
Offered a- Reward.
Later a reward was offered by the city
for their capture, and thq, following com
munications was sent to the various po
lice departments:
"July 10, 1903.-Chlef of Police: Dear Sir
5300 reward fof both, or $150 each, for the'
arrest and conviction of Jerry, alias
Charles Leslie, or Lesly, and Alex, alias
Lee Griggs, for attempt of robbery and
the murder of one Max Calof in this city
on the evening of June 22. 1903,
"No. One. Jerry, alias Charles Leslie, or
Lesly, supposed to be from McKey

in this city was In company with Leslie
peddling fruit, it being his' first experi
ence in mat line or work. Griggs worked
as fireman and water tender and oiler on
a transport between San Francisco and
Manila, and may endeavor to'shlD atraln
His partner Leslie will be likely to be
found In your neighborhood, as he was
neamng that way.
""We have an exceedingly strong case
against tnese two men as belntr the tur
tles who committed this murder and are
very anxious to apprehend them.
"Kindly do everything possible to locate
them and if successful, arrest and wire at
my expense and I'wlll send an officer for
them. Tours truly,
"CHARLES H. HUNT.
"Chief of Police.'
"We have evidence enough to convict
these men if they are caught." said De
tectlves Kerrigan and Snow yesterday In
talking- of the murder. "And we have
known who did the work since the day
alter it was committed."
"And you have not located or arrested
tnem In all this time?"
"We have not been able to do anything.
they said. "We begged to be 'sent out
after them, but were met with the excuse
that there was no money on hand with
which to pay our expenses. If we had
gone after them ourselves the exnense
money would have had to come out of our
own pockets. The matter was laid before
tne Cnlef and before the Mayor, and we
were not allowed to go after the men
when we had proven beyond a doubt that
they were guilty. Communications have
been sent out giving a description of the
men, and there Is some chance of locating
tho men in this way."
Evidence Against the Men.
Asked for their evidence the detectives
replied.
"In his haste to escape Lee Griggs lost
his hat. We found it the next morning
and It has been Identified beyond a doubt
Leslie at one time worked for Nathan
Calof, and his voice was recognized by
him during the robbery.
"A neighbor named Tom Duffy saw
Doughnuts running from the scene and
can identify him as the man. that did the
shooting. Doughnuts was also chased for
some distance by Sam Kafke, and was
aeen by Mrs. Brown, a colored woman.
"Both men had been hanging around
Portland for some time and doing no
work. It was known that they were both
'broke,' and the next morning they were
both gone. We found the room they had
occupied and It had not been used the
night of the murder."
As final convincing proof the detectives
say that they can produce evidence to
show that the two men accused had
planned to hold up and rob a peddler by
the name of Goldblatt on that night. Gold
blatt did not come home on the 'regular
time, and they turned their attention to
arouasr Calof. Colors father ran out, and
was shot three times by them In their
effort to esca.se.
Owing to tho fact that the detectives
were not allowed to follow up the crimi
nals they are still at large and their
whereabouGrare a mystery. They think
that Griggs went South, and that Leslie
went North, but have not heen able to
prove this fact. They are sure that both
men disappeared directly after the mur
der and that neither has been seen since.

OLGA DID NOT ARRIVE
WATER 'FRONT AGITATED BY A
FALSE REPORT..
German Ship Emllle to Return to. the
Con.it With General Carjpo
China Steamer In.
A report became current on the beach
yesterday mornlniy that the Grande Duch
esse Olga had arrived In the river. Those
mostly interested In the safety of the over
due French bark breathed a sigh of relief,
but they were doomed to disappointment
when It was learned that the rumor was
without foundation. It Is now a year and
ten days since the vessel left Shields; with
general cargo for this city, and 125 days
since she put in to repair damages caused
by storms on the first part of the passage.
Unless the vessel, or some other, soon
reaches port, -the Saxon wll be left the
sole gralncarrler In the river, as the
Arctic Stream and the Rhuddlan Castle
are both ready to depart. The latter
vessel cleared yesterday, for Algoa Bay
with 114.930 bushels of wheat shipped by
T M. Stevens & Co. The value of her
cargo is $91,941. The Arctic Stream did
not get away yesterday, as expected, but
will probably leave down today or tomor
row. The Saxon Is still disengaged, as ef
forts which were made to secure her a
lumber charter fell through and there Is
no prospect of grain business in sight
at a figure that wouKLsatlsfy her owners.
In the meantime, Captain Smith is put
ting his ship in first class shape and sup
plying himself with a new set of false
teeth for a long stay in port.
While the arrival of some of the long
list of cargo vessels is anxiously awaited,
additions are being made to the fleet at
the other end. The latest to go on the
list is the German ship Emllle 'which will
load general cargo at Antwerp. The Em
llle Is one of last year's grain fleet from
Portland. She left here February 14, with
31,000 bushels of wheat and 8S.000 bushels
of barley and reached Ipswich on the 6th
just. The big German ship Alice Is also
reported to be en route .to Portland from
Hong Kong for wheat loading.
"WAXTS CANADIAN REGISTER.
Application "Will Be Made to, Trans
fer Finn: to Lord Teiupletown.
Captain Horse, of the former Canadian
ship Lord Templetown, which was regis
tered at "Victoria until in the effort to get
her under the United States flag with the
expected transfer of the Pacific West In
dies to Uncle Sam she was made a Dan
ish vessel, registered at St, Thomas, D.
W. I., Is In "Victoria to make arrange
ments to have the vessel again registered
as a Canadian vessel. The Lord Temple
town Is now loading lumber at Port Gam
ble for Cape Town, and when at Port
Townsend Captain Horse endeavored to
Induce Collector Ide, of Port Townsend, to
allow him to tak to "Victoria the Danish
register which was surrendered to tho
Collector when the vessel arrived and en
tered on June 20. and this the Collector
would not do unless the vessel cleared
from Puget Soundr
The Lord Templetown, which, Is owned
at San Francisco, was formerly flying
the Union Jack, but In the effort to get
her under the Stars and Stripes she was
given a- temporary Danish register when
at New York on June 15. 1902, and her
home port was given as St. Thomas. In
the effort to secure a permanent Danish
register at that time agents were sent to
Copenhagen and St. Thomas.
BIG DREDGE FOR SNAKE RIVER,
Five Carloads of Partu Shipped by
Joseph. Stipple.
Josenh Sunple has sent off five carloads
of parts of the big gold dredge ho is build
ing for W. Ttaber and others to be oper
ated on Snake River. The parts are sent
knocked down, and Will be put together
at Glenn's Ferry. Mr. Supple will start
a crew of men up there today, who will
put the dredge together In a short time.
Mr. Baber is In the East at present look
ing after the machinery, which has to bo
manufactured largely for this dredge,
which will be tho most extensive mining
machine ever built for the Snake River.
At Supple's boat yari a small stern-wheel
craft 1b being bullty'40xlo, which Is for
this same company, and will be a tender
for the big dredge.
Supple Is building a private bath house
for Fred Morris, the banker, which will
bo used In- connection with his handsome
boathouse, anchored near Boss Island. It
will be S6xl6 feet, and will be protected
by an awning attached to stanchions.
The Ailnle Comings, formerly the Will
lam M. Hogg, has received a new wheel
house at Supple's yard.
Repairs to Joseph Paquefs plledriver
have been completed and last evening the
driver was launched.
CAPE HORN SEALERS.
Els' Catches Made by the Several
Schooners,
The fleet of seven schooners operating
off the Falkland Islands and Capo Horn,
which were dispatched from Victoria and
Halifax by "Victoria sealers, have taken
20,960 skins. Some have been hunting two
seasons, others hut one. The catches are
reported by one of the sealers in a tetter
as follows: Edward Roy, Captain Baker,
3.9S5; Florence M. Munsle, Captain Rob
bins, 3,780; Ola 'M. Balsom, Captain R.
Balsom, 3,500; Florence M. Smith, Cap
tain Ryan, 3,300; E. B. Marvin, Captain
Anderson, 2,400; Beatrice L. Corkum,
Captain LeBlanc, 2,300; St. Clair, Captain
Gilbert, 1,700. These catches represent
the total catches since the vessels have
been on the southern hunting grounds.
A letter from one of the hunters of the
Florence M. Smith says a cable has been
received from the "Victoria Sealing Com
pany, of "Victoria, ordering Captain Ryan
to take the vessel to Halifax, and similar
Instructions have been sent to Captain
Andcxson. The schooners can be outfitted
creaper in Halifax.
ASHORE IN STRAITS OF MAGELLAN.
Kosmoji Liner Theben May Become a
Total Loan.
For the third time .since the Kosmos
line has been running Its steamships from
Homburg to San Francisco disaster has
overtaken the fleet and the big Theben,
which left April IS for the German home
port. Is hard and fast ashore near the
Straits of Magellan. The cabled report
of the disaster is meager, but contains
the satisfactory Information that passen
gers and crew are safe. The vessel and
cargo, It is thought, will become a total
loss. The place where she struck is de-
scriced as Gray Channel, In Smyth'3
Channel, near the Straits of Magellan.
The Theben has ,a net registered ton-
nace of 2963 tons. She-is 368 feet long
45.9 feet in beam and 27, feet deep. She
was built In Germany In 1S97 and is com
manded by Captain A. H, Schultz.. She
was a splendidly equipped vessel, with
comfortable quarters for passengers and
plenty of room for carrying all klnnds of
freight.

WOMEN, AT CHAUTAUQUA
THEIR DAY OSE OF THE MOST SUC-
CESSFULxOF THE, SESSION.
Mr. Hurdette Speaks on the Junior
Citizen Mr. Bnrdette Will Give
HIT Last Address Today.
GLADSTONE PARK, July 21. (Spe
cial.) This was woman's day at Chau
tauqua, and one of the most successful of
the season In point of interest and at-
tedance. It required two long trains to
bring back to Portland the people who
remained through the evening musical
programme-
The chief Interest of the day centered
around the grand concert tonight, the ad
dress of Mrs. Robert J. Burdette In the
afternoon and the address In the forenoon
of Rev. E. "W. St. Pierre, of the Salem
penitentiary, on "Prison Reform." There
was a noticeable Increase In the attend
ance of women from Portland, many of
whom brought lunch baskets, while others
were entertained by friends camped
among the 250 tents on the ground. Tho
announcement was made during the day
that the Chautauqua Association was out
of debt
The musical entertainment of the eve
ning Is said to rank with any ever given
in the state. It was under the direction
of Mrs. "Walter Reed, of Portland, and
was certainly enjoyed by the several
thousand people In. the big wigwam.
The audience started in to encore every
thing on the programme, but after the
fourth number the directors announced
that no more recalls would bo responded
to. The singers participating wore Mrs.
Albert Sheldon, Miss Mabel Johnson.
Miss Edna Gates, Miss Agnes "Watt,- Miss
Rita Hansen, Mrs. E. E. Channan, Miss
Ruth Hoyt, Mrs. Reed and Messrs. Dom
Zan, J. "W. Belcher. N. C. Zan. Rush
Drake, with Edgar E. Coursen at the
piano.
The selections were excellent. Those
which geemed to strike the audience with
greatest favor were the quartet from
Rlgoletto, the ladles double quartet
from Treble Cleft Club "Carmena," and
"The Month of Maying," the sextet
from Lucia dl Lammermoor. and Mrs.
Sheldon's rendition of "Irish Folk Song,"
In which she made an extraordinarily fa
vorable impression. Another hit was
made by Melvin Dodson in the recitation.
"A Turkey Bath."
"When Mrs. Burdette spoke on "The
Care of the Junior Citizen" she had a fine
audience. Among her auditors were Gov
ernor Chamberlain and ex-Governor and
Mrs. T. T. Geer, who are camping on the
ground. x
The Jnnior Citizen.
In outlining that which must be done
for the junior citizen by public opinion
Mrs. Burdette urged upon women the cre
ation and maintenance of high personal
standards of the sacredness of true wom
anhood, the sanctity of the marriage tie,
the effort for uniform divorce laws, one
and the same moral standard for both
men and women. She made an earnest
plea for simpler living. In order that chil
dren might be saved from an Inheritance
of extravagance and display.
"I wish to decry," she said, "the tend
ency of. parents to put upon the schools
all the responsibility of the education of
the child, upon the church all the moral
training, and upon the state, through leg
Islatlon upon certain evils, all the dis
cipline of the child. You cannot dele
gate to Institutions and to government
the duties of parenthood."
In SDeaklne of uniform divorce laws.
Mrs. Burdette said: "It Is an appalling fact
that divorces in the United States are
increasing three times as rapidly as, the
population. If that ratio continues, by the
close of the century separations by death
will be fewer than separations by dis
cord. The first remedy Is a high standard
to be held In the hearts of our women,
that they will not be on with the new
love because they can. so' easily be off
with the old. But until all women shall be
thus, protected by this safeguard of their
own determination we should set about
weak or thoughtless women the restric
tions of uniform divorce laws for the pro
tection of society. "We have come to an
acute stage In this social disease and
nothing but national legislation will stay
1L And no one but the women of this
country of your own state, of your own
community and of your home, can arouse
tho public sentiment. And I lay upon
your sleeping consciences this burning
coal from the pure altar of mother-love,
and plead with you for the lovo of the
children, the junior citizens of the repub
lic, that you act for the preservation of
the home. The diversity of laws In the
different states makes It quite possible for
a man or woman to be single In one state
and at the same time married In another.
A man may legally change his wife, the
wife can legally change her husband,
but there is no process of law by which
they can change their children. And thus
the sad condition exists of children liv
ing In the home with one parent who
holds the most sacred relation given to
humanity with a man or woman not their
parent, while- the real parent is some
where out In the world, probably leading
the same life. For statistics have shown
that more than three-fourths of the di
vorces In the United States are procured
for Immediate re-marrlage to another
person already selected.
""We must continue the denunciation of
polygamy In Utah." she said. "There
legal polygamy no longer exists, but
consecutive polygamy, as carried on In
all the states under sanction of the law.
Is more productive of present evil and Im
morality, and is more dangerous to the
future of the nation, through these little
citizens, than simultaneous polygamy
that may bo carried on In violation of
the laws. In Utah. Until there Is a .di
vorce law in every state forbidding pre
marriage of divorced persons, except un

der strictly prescribed conditions, moth
ers may well look with dread upon the
future of their sons and daughters who
have not within themselves the saving
standard of true marriage In the sight
of God a holy sacrament, and not a mere
temporary business compact.
"The junior citizen! The defense and
glory of our country! 'Where are the
wallsof your city?' the stranger asked
the King of old Sparta unconquered and
unlnvaded Sparta, whose proud , boast it
was that her women had never beheld the
smoke of an enemy's campflre. 'Where
are the walls of your invulnerable city?'
And the King pointed to the young men
of the stato, standing in the serried ranks
Of the citizen wilrllerv. 'Rphnlrl th wnlU
Lbf Sparta,' 'Where are your Jewels?'
Tho Roman society woman, bedizened and
weighted with gems and ornaments,
asked the noble Cornelia. The Roman
mother drew closer to her Bide her two
boys the Gracchi, the noble youth whose
names live forever In history 'These are
my jewels!
"Let then your hearts," said Mrs. Bur
dette in conclusion, "throb with the pride
of motherhood, O women of America.
The splendor, the strength and glory of
the Nation Is yours, all yours. You are
the mothers of the junior citizens!"
Prison Reform Advocated.
Tne address on "Prison Reform" by
Rev. Mr. St. Pierre was delivered before
the Pprtland Ministerial Association. He
advised the graduation of prisoners Into
various classes, and strongly mentioned
the plan In use in Ohio penitentiaries.
That state has three grades. Prisoners,
on first entering the institution, are put
into the second grade. Good conduct ad
vances them to first grade, and bad be
havior reduces them to the third grade.
These grades carry with them various ad
vantages and disadvantages. He also
dwelt on the Importance of separating
the young prisoners from the older and
more hardened criminals. He also spoke
on the great Importance of providing
some means for the employment of pris
oners on the expiration of their terms.
Rev. S. C. Lapham, of Portland, presided
at the meeting. ,
The afternoon's programme opened with
a band concert of half an hour, Mrs. C.
,B. Wade, the retiring president of tho
State Federation of Women s Clubs, later
presiding. She presented Mrs. T. T. Geer,
wife of ex-Governor Geer, the new presi
dent of the State Federation of Women's
Clubs, who delivered a brief Introductory
address. Mrs. Walter Reed rendered the
solo, "A Fireside Song," and there was a
reading by Mrs. .Harriet Colburn Sander
son, of Owen Meredith's "Aux Itallens."
Vancouver Mnroonx Win.
Later In the afternoon about 1000 people
watched a well-played and exciting ball
game between the Vancouver Maroons
and the Sunnyslde Woodmen of the
World teams, the former winning In the
last half of the ninth Inning by one run.
Score: Maroons, 5 runs, 8 hits. 4 errors;
Sunnysldes, 4 runs, 5 hits and 3 errors.

Burdette on the subject, "Good Medicine";
a game of ball between the Schlllers and
Chemawas, In the afternoon, and In
