IS STILL AT LARGE
Murderer of Edna. Hoffman
Not Apprehended.
IS KNOWN TO THE POLICE
Man Who Cut Woman's Throat Said
to Be John T. Coleman, a Pro
fessional Gambler, Known in
Spokane and Northwest.
John T. Coleman, -who Is alleged to
have murdered Edna Hoffman in a room
above the Palm saloon at an early hour
yesterday morning-, is still at large, the
police being unable to learn of his where
abouts or his actions after leaving the
scene of the crime. Detective Kerrigan,
who is handling the case, found that
the real name of the man who went by
the name of Jack while in Portland, was
Coleman, and that he formerly resided
In Spokane.
Coleman, who is about 30 years of age,
has been a professional gambler for
years and la known as a man of a des
perate and unsavory character. He Is
said to possess very valuable mining
property In British Columbia. He is about
live feet eight inches in height and Is
powerfully built. He weighs about 150
pounds. "When last seen he was wearing
a dark suit of clothes and a black slouch
hat. He wore a double-breasted gold
watch chain. It was reported to the po
lice yesterday morning that he had a
black mustache, but it was found out
later that his mustache was light
Coleman Is Well Known.
The police are of the opinion that Cole
man will be- apprehended as he is known
In most of the large cities in the North
west, being like all gamblers, of a rov
ing disposition. His description, which is
a complete one, has been telegraphed to
all the towns surrounding Portland and
the large cities on the Coast. The police
are inclined to think, however, that Cole
man is in hiding in Portland or this vi
cinity. It is very improbable that he
could have left this city on any of the
trains as they have all been closely
watched.
If he committed the murder his
clothes are undoubtedly covered with the
blood of his victim. It would have been
Impossible for him to slash the woman's
throat without the blood from the wound
spurting upon him as soon as the flesh
was opened and the Jugular vein severed.
He Is probably hidden away in pome place
awaiting until his clothes can be cleaned
and so that he can disguise himself in
such a manner as to prevent detection.
Quarreled In Spokane.
It has been learned that when Edna
Hoffman left Spokane several weeks ago
Coleman was at. the depot and tried to
prevent her from taking the train. He
had a long conversation with her in the
depot, and attempted to effect a reconcil
iation. 'She would not listen to hie plead
ings, and repeatedly ordered him to leave.
Just before she left on the. train, he. In
a gust of anger, slapped her several times
in the ace and ran away to avoid arrest.
Last Tuesday he came to Portland, and,
after visiting the various saloons m the
city, located her In a room above the
Palm. He tried again and again to aee
her, but she refused to have anything to
do with him. It is understood that she
had a consort In this city. Sunday morn
ing she. agreed to talk the matter over
with him in the hopes of persuading him
to leave her alqne. She took him to her
Toom. "While there they ordered a lunch
from a near-by restaurant.
Bartender Finds" Victim.
About 1 o'clock Ed McSweeny. a bar
tender at the Palm salopn, went up to her
apartments, telling her that there was a
party downstairs who wanted to see her.
She arose to go, but Coleman objected.
McSweeny left the two and started down
stairs. As he reached the ground floor ho
heard scuffling and a scream. looking
up. he saw Edna Hoffman, bleeding from
a gash In her throat which extended from
ear to ear, reel from the room and fall at
the head of the stairs, dead. At the same
time he saw the back of a man disappear
ing through the door which leads to the
rear entrance.
Edna Hoffman, who ran a house of ill
fame in Portland about eight years ago,
was reputed at that time to possess con
siderable property. She had Jewelry which
was worth about $3000. From Portland it
is said she went to Spokane, where sho
met Coleman. She was madly infatuated
with him, and it is told that ehe spent the
greater part of her money on him. After
having been associated with him Tor sev
eral years, she grew tired of his atten
tions and drifted back to her old haunts
in Portland.
The Inquest over the remains of
Edna Hoffman will be held today.
BAKER IS IN PORTLAND.
Wanhlngton Senator Discusses His
Troubles Ready for Peace or War.
Senator George H. Baker, of Golden
dale, was In Portland yesterday, and
while he was not on the warpath, he was
not burdened with an overwhelming load
of love for ex-Senator Foster and ex
Senator "Wilson, who once represented the
great State of Washington In Congress.
Mr. Baker stood in the doorway at the
Imperial and blinked comfortably at the
sunlit street and the holiday-garbed
crowds ever changing before him. In his
conversation he said that he was at peace
with the world, of open and unclouded
conscience, and possessing no fear. But
he did not say that the Joy of the Sab
bath had entered into his contemplation
of the two ex-United States Senators who
are and were responsible for his appoint
ment as United States Marshal, having
been held up for Investigation.
"I don't know a thing, .not a thing,"
said the Senator when asked for things
happening in his division of the great
Northwest. "Everything is very quiet up
there and there Is nothing doing."
It being remembered that one W. H.
Ramsey, a "mythical person of whom
many had heard, but who had been seen
by but few, had been supposed to be in
Seattle investigating the record of Mr.
Baker as special examiner for th& De
partment of Justice, the Senator was
asked as to the outcome.
"What has become of Mr. Ramsay and
his work?" The question ran, "Has he
made any report or is he still in Seattle?"
Has Not Seen Ramsey.
"I have not seen Mr. Ramsey nor his
report," was the answer. "But I believe
that the latter was made on Monday last.
I do not know what it was, and I have
not heard anything from It as yet"
"What was the cause for the investi
gation and why were the appointments of
yourself and Mr. Undsey held up; that is,
what has been alleged as the base of the
Investigation?" the Senator was asked.
"I don't know why I have been in
vestigated or for what, and I don't know
the reasons given for causing the Inves
tigation." "Political, I suppose?" was suggested,
and the suggestion brought some life
Into the conversation.
"Yes,, it was political. The appointments
were "held up by the instance of ex-Senators
Foster and "Wilson," stated the Sen
ator. "They have been fighting me, and
I them, for the past 30 years, or ever
since I have been in the state. But if
John "Wilson thinks he can make me quit
by such means he Is mistaken.
"But I have not seen Ramsey," contin
ued the. speaker, reverting to the special
examiner. "I have heard that he has
been in Seattle; that he has finished his
work and made his report, and I under
stood that he came to Portland."
"I tried to see Mr. Ramsey," said Mr.
Baker, "but I could not find him. I was
told that he said he did not want to see
me; that the charges brought against me
were so trivial that he would not take
the trouble to meet mo. But I think It
Is a funny way to inspect a man by
never allowing him a word to say In his
own behalf. I did not desire to meet him
personally, but I would have liked to
have had some friend state my case for
me. It seems queer that the inspector
should spend all of his time with my po
litical enemies and not give me a chance
to be heard; that he should draw all of
his Information from those who have
fought me and whom I have fought since
I have been In the state: But the report
has been in a week and nothing has been
heard of it," concluded Mr. Baker, "and
I don't think there will be. I don't care
as far as the Investigation is concerned.
I have lived in Washington for 20 years
and if in that time I have not -been
square I would like to know It, for I have
no knowledge of any other course." Then
Senator Baker turned to greet Senator
D. H. Simmons, of North Yakima, and
both passed up the street.
AT THE THEATERS
What, the Press Agents. Say.
FIRST TIME TONIGHT.
Initial Performance of "A Runaway
Girl" at the Marquam Grand.
Beginning tonight, and continuing
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
nights, the Pollard Lilliputian Opera
Company will present the popular mu
sical comedy, "A Runaway Girl," at the
Marquam Grand Theater. This will af
ford music and fun-loving1 theater
goers an opportunity to witness one of
the greatest London and New York
successes ever presented in that line.
Originally produced in the Gaiety The
ater, London, it enjoyed a continuous
run for three years. The late Augustin
Daly then produced It in New York,
where it ran for 300 consecutive nights.
This will be the first time It "has ever
been given at popular prices, and it af
fords all the members of the company
excellent opportunities to display their
talents. Teddie McNarnara will have
the part of Flipper, the jockey, the role
made famous by Arthur Dunn. Little
Daphne Pollard will be seen as Car
menlta. "A Gaiety Girl" will be the
bill Friday night and Saturday mati
nee, and "An American Millionaire"
Saturday night. Seats are now selling
for the entire week.
Columbia Season Closes.
The regular 30 weeks season of the Co
lumbia. Stock Company closed last night
and the theater will remain dark during
the week. A short special season will be
played by the company, opening next
Sunday. The bill has not been announced.
RESUMES ITS FORMER POLICY
Ten Cents to All Parts of the Star
Theater.
Owing to the fact that It has been dem
onstrated during the past few weeks that
the public is in favor of a continuance
of the policy that the management of
both the Star and Arcade began In this
city over a year since, and feeling that
It is the public who is to be suited and
whose servants wo are, the management
of the Star has decided to reduce the ad
mission to the former price of 10 cents
to all parts of the house. "We wish to
call the attention of the public that this
does not mean In any manner whatsoever
that there will be any deterioration of
the attractions that have been presented
heretofore, hut that the former policy will
continue and we shall endeavor to pro
cure the best attractions that Is possible.
Calling to view the bill that we have to
offer the public commencing this after
noon at 2:30 will only be verification of
what we stated above. At an enormous
expense we have brought direct from
New York "the great Panahaslka Bird and
Cat Show, which is the greatest aggrega
tion of birds and cats that has ever been
presented before the public, and this fea
ture alone should be seen by all chil
dren as well as the grown folks. Fer
rington and Boyle entertain in a very
grotesque comedy. The De Monleos will
show what wonderful feats can be done
in ring-circling, and Billy Tann will keep
you In a happy mood for a while with
his humorous monologues that are cer
tainly original. Rousell performs very
difficult tricks on the aerial rings; Mor
gan and Chester have a new and enter
taining comedy sketch, and last, but not
least, is Alexander and Company, "the
Handcuff King," who will entertain In
his original creation, "The Haunted Mail
Pouch." Roscoo Arbuckle will sing
"Down on the Farm," and the latest life
motion pictures will be exhibited on the
projoctoscopc. Taken all together, this
is one of the best attractions that has
been seen In the city. Don't forget the
price 10 ' cents to all parts of the house.
Ten Cents at the Grand.
Responding to popular demand, the
Grand has returned to its old policy of a
general admission price of 10 cents, with,
however, the best bill over offered In Its
history. The following artists of Inter
national reputation will appear: Bartlett
and Collins, operatic musical parodists,
the swellest dressers in the business,
each making three distinct changes; Lee
Long Foo, Chinese baritone, only China
man now in American vaudeville; Mur
ray Hill, monologist; the Keltle Trio,
really great In every "'respect: Orvllle
Pitcher, the colored stump speaker; Sam
son and Zaccho, two of the strongest
persons in the world; Alf Bonner in a
new sonr. "Mamma's Boy," and "Life In
the Samoan and 'MM Islands" will be ex
hibited on the Grandiscope. The general
admission price to any part of the house
will be one dime.-
Big Baker Bunch.
The bunch of high-class vaudeville per
formers that will open the week at the
Baker this afternoon will be the wonder
and admiration of every amusement lover
In Portland. Managers Keating and
Flood are the world-beaters at the popu
lar show business and have distanced all
their competitors.

( Exiles from Home.
"Every year sees thousands of pale and
emaciated people leaving their homes for
the benefit a change of climate affords
them. A large number of these poor
sufferers who are thus exiled from home
are affected with throat or lung troubles,
4sthma, bronchitis or consumption, which
can invariably be traced back to a severe
cold. No one would neglect a cold could
he foresee such a termination. To go to
ai warmer climate for one's health Is ex
plosive and seldom altogether satisfac
tory. The prompt use of Chamberlain's
Cpugh Remedy will save all this expense
and worry. This remedy Is widely known
fOr Its prompt cures of coughs and colds
arid thousands have testified to the perma
nent relief they have received by Its use.

ENRICH THE LAND
Great Irrigation Project for
Southern Idaho.
COST TO EXCEED $10,000,000
Government Will Reclaim 372,000
Acres In Boise and Payette Val
leys, Made Possible by Pub
lic Spirit of Citizens.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, April 2. The Payette-Boise Ir
rigation project In Idaho has received
the formal approval of the Secretary
of the Interior, who recently set aside
$1,300,000 for initiating the work of
construction. This action has been an
ticipated for some time, and is largely
the result of the splendid enterprise of
tho citizens of that section. For more
than a year the landowners, organized
into a water-users' association, have
labored indefatlgably to harmonize the
many conflicting claims of private In
terests In lands, canals and water
rights, with the result that today prac
tically the valley as a unit stands
pledged to the Government enterprise.
Great as the satisfaction of the cit
izens may be on account of the favor
able action of the Secretary, it is no
greater than that felt by the Reclama
tion Service, which has long recognized
the fact that the Payette-Boise project
is one of the most attractive In the arid
West, and but for the many and compli
cated private and corporate Interests
Involved, would have been selected for
the Initial work of the Government in
Idaho. The people, having worked out
satisfactory solutions to the divers
problems, are deserving of the success
which has finally crowned their efforts.
While the citizens were straightening
out their difficulties, the Government
engineers thoroughly Investigated the
physical conditions and worked out
comprehensive plans for irrigation,
which have been presented to and re
ceived the approval of the board of
consulting engineers. These Investiga
tions show that the project Is entirely
feasible from an engineering stand
point. The lands to be reclaimed are
of excellent quality, and with the cli
matic conditions prevailing are of ex
cellent quality, and are capable of
sustaining a dense population. The fer
tility of the lands now under irrigation
Insures the -financial soundness of. the
undertaking. Nearly 90 per cent of all
the irrigable land In the valley is
pledged to repay to the Government its
expenditure for providing a permanent
water supply.
How Land Will Be Irrigated.
Briefly stated, the Payette-Boise project
provides for the reclamation of 372.000
acres of land in these valleys, 300,000
acres of which are now desert. It is
proposed to irrigate 72,000 acres with the
waters of Payette River. 54,000 acres of
this area being situated In the Boise Val
ley: 25,000 acres situated on the south side
of the Snake River, a portion of the lat
ter area to be supplied with water from
that stream, the water to be pumped by
means of power which will be developed
at the dtverslon dam on the Payette
River. The remainder of the water which
will be used on this tract will be fur
nished by Succor Creek, a tributary of
the Snake River. The remaining area, of
93.000 acres is situated in the Boise Val
ley and will be watered from the Boise
River. Of the lands In -the project about
71.000 acres are public lands subject to
entry under the conditions of the recla
mation act. About 46,000 acres have been
entered to date under this act, about 60,
000 acres belong to the State of Idaho,
and the remainder, about 1P3.000 acres,
are In private ownership, held In tracts
averaging about 100 acres each.
Ample storage facilities exist on tho
headwaters of the Payette River, which
will be available for regulating the dis
charge of that stream, and which can be
developed at very reasonable cost- The
principal storage for the Boise lands Is
In the valley proper along the line of the
power canals. Some storage can also be
obtained on the'headwaters of this stream
and utilized for tho irrigation of lands
situated above the level of the reservoirs
on the plains. It tvill be entirely feasible
to develop a supply of water for the late
irrigation of practically all of the lands
under the project, as about 100,000 acres
of land within the limits of the project
are already Irrigated.
Begun by Private Enterprise.
This worK has been accomplished
through Individual and community ef
fort and private enterprise, but has not
been planned on very comprehensive
lines, and the communities have made
no provisions for the full development
of the natural resources of these val
leys. The plans which must necessar
ily be adopted in order to accomplish
the best results, owing to the magni
tude of the undertaking, are beyond the
reach of community effort; nor do they
offer an attractive field for the invest
ment of private capital. They can only
be carried to completion by the help of
the Government.
The broad plans which the reclama
tion service have under consideration
contemplate the construction of a di
verting dam In Payette River and of it
canal for the airae on the south side
of Payette Valley for the irrigation of
the lands thereunder, or about 18,000
acres. Tnls canal will also conduct
water through the divide between the
two rivers to 54,000 acres in the Boise
Valley. A diverting dam on the Boise
River and one or more canals and stor
uge reservoirs will distribute water to
241,000 acres of land on the south side
of Boise Valley, while a canal on the
north side will irrigate 33,000 acres.
Storage reservoirs on the headwaters
of the Boise River will furnish water
for the late irrigation of about 75,00)
acres of land along the line of the up
per canal- The complete utilization of
Succor .Creek, on the south side of
Snake River, supplemented by a pump
ing system, from the latter stream, will
supply 25,700 acres.
Millions for Water.
The estimated cost of the entire sys
tem is $10,732,000, or an average cost
not to exceed 530 peracre for the land
which has no facilities at present for
Irrigation. This amount includes main
tenance for ten years, also the value of
existing works which would be utilized
but which would not have to be paid
for by the Government, and the pur
chase of rights of way, which will
have to be provided from the reclama
tion fund.
The State of Idaho, by the recent act
of the Legislature, and through Its
State" Land Board, has provided for co
operation with "the reclamation serv
ice, so at the present time the following-
lands, amounting to 322,300 acres
about 90 per cent of the total area, are
either directly or Indirectly bound to
the project:
Acres.
Land In private ownership 155,000
Public lands subject to entry under
the conditions of the reclamation
act 117.000
State lands 60,000
Total 332.000
As the major portion of the reclama
tion fund has been appropriated already
for various projects in the eeveral arid
states and territories, the entire allot
ment required for the Payette-Boise
project could not be made at this time.
It was therefore decided to select a por
tion of the project which, though only
an Integer of the whole, would yet be a
complete project In Itself, and by begin
ning which the whole scheme would be
held together and development directed
along comprehensive lines.
First Work to Be Done.
The division of the project which has
been recommended for immediate con
struction consists of the portion of the
irrigable area situated on the south side
of the Boise Valley. This part has been
selected because here the largest area can
be benefited by the expenditure of the
smallest amount of money available, and
because by constructing a large reservoir
a connecting link will be formed between
the more Important irrigation divisions
now existing on this side of the river.
It is believed that by beginning the work
in the manner outlined the maximum
benefits will result with a limited amount
of money; that the construction work can
be carried forward without any unneces
sary delay, and that a total area of 126.
000 acres would at once begin the pay
ment back Into the fund of the cost of
reclammatlon, as all of this land would
Immediately be benefited.
The Boise and Payette Valleys consti
tute one of the most attractive sections
of the West In the past few years they
have undergone a transformation that Is
nothing less than marvelous. The prog
ress in agriculture is reflected In the
eplendld growth of the towns adjacent,
and the whole basin presents an allur
ing picture to the visitor, and furnishes
an excellent example of the result of Ir
rigation. It requires no particular acu
men to see that these valleys have en
tered upon a era of substantial develop
ment which Is destined to unite them In
on of the most densely populated as
well as one of the richest agricultural
communities on this continent.
Wealth to Be Created.
The full utilization of the, water supply
in Boise and Payette rivers will possibly
be the complete reclamation of nearly
600,000 acres which, divided Into farm
units of 80 acres, will mean 7500 farms, a
rural population of 30.000, and a popula
tion in towns and villages of double that
number. The agricultural wealth of the
valley, estimated on the basis of the last
census, would be approximately Irrigated
land, $30,000,000: farm buildings, 54.500.
000; Implements and machinery. 51,410
000; live stock, 59,300,500; canals and
reservoirs. 512,000,000; total, 557,210,500. In
1900 the value of farm property for the
whole State of Idaho was 567,271.200. It
eems safe to assume that with the com
pletion of the Boise-Payette project the
farm property In this section would have
a value equal to 50 per cent of that for
the whole state.
M. SIMON SPEAXS FOR ABBEY
He Declares Rabbi . Is Respected, and
Congregation Is With Him.
M. Simon, vice-president and the
proper official of the Congregation
Talmud Torah. in charge of the serv
ices next to the rabbi, said yesterday:
"We certainly are shocked at the
statement as published In regard to the
criticism by Dr. Abbey on Dr. Wise.
We do not believe the man who made
that statement is even a member of
our congregation. If ne is, we. would
like to get his name, and we would get
rid of him pretty quick. He must be
long' to the honorable members whom
we were fortunate enough, through the
efforts of Dr. Abbey, to get rid of.
"Dr. Abbey leaves us on the best
terms, on his own accord He notified
us about ttiree months ago that his
time would not allow lilm to continue
his services with us, much to the re
gret of every member of the congrega
tion. "It Is not true, but false, that he
asked permission to speak, for he was
in charge of the pulp.it, and could say
whatever he pleased, as he always "did.
His sermon as usual was listened to
with attention and highly appreciated.
Of course, one cannot please everybody,
and Dr. Abbey never speaks only to
please. He always strikes the nail at
the right place, dauntlessly and fear
lessly, and we like him the more for It.
"It Is not true, but positively false,
that he made haste to escapo assault.
Many considered It a privilege to shake
hands an! thank him personally for his
thoughtful and learned discourse. He
was asked to help us alon,g till we get
another man, to which he consented.
He was with us this morning, and ad
dressed the Sunday school children. In
troducing Mr. J. Shapo, of Chicago, who
Is here on trial, and we want Dr. Ab
bey to help U3 even to select his suc
cessor. 'There were among the audience
some of those who were expelled from
the congregation last Summer, and
some of the relatives, who probably did
have some evil and wicked design; but
no member could even think of doing
such a dastardly, nasty thing. Neither
did we hear any unfavorable comment
on Dr. Abbey from other congrega
tions, but, on the contrary, he is being
commended on his remarks by Jews
and Christians alike, as far as we
know.
'Those that did take exceptirfn to
his remarks are such as are probably
under obligations to Dr. Wise, or ex
pect some favors, and not because of
the points at Issue, for they "did not un
derstand what he said. It is almost
self-evident who inspired the state
ment. We have just as much regard
for Dr. Wise as for Dr. Abbey per
sonally, but as far as the discourse In
question or religious doctrine Is con
cerned, it Is. quite a different matter.
"Dr. Abbey has done for our congre
gation more than any one else could
under the circumstances. He leaves
the congregation In a much better con
dition than It was at the time of his ar
rival, and that Is due to his efforts.
"However, we don't think we arc
doing right in making this statement,
as the falsity of the article Is self-evident,
as he who furnished the Informa
tion (?), knowing of Its falsity, was
ufrald to have his name mentioned. We
believe that It has been lnsplred'by one
who Is more of an enemy to ttie con
gregation than a friend to Dr. Wise."

CLOSES CONFERENCE YEAR.'
Rev. E. E. McVicker Gives Review
of the Work of His Church.
Rev. E. E. McVicker, pastor of the Uni
ted Evangelical Church, of St. Johns,
preached his last sermon for the con
ference year yesterday morning on the
subject of "Review." Rev. Mr. McVicker
went over the progress of the year.
Practically a new church and parsonage
were built this year, at a cost of between
52000 and 53000, under the management of
the pastor. The church grcns several lots
also. Membership has increased largely
during the year.
When Rev. Mr. McVIckers was senfto
St. Johns there was a little rack-shamble
chapel under the hill and out of repair,
but he quickly saw what to do and did
At without noise, with the result that
a new church and manse were dedicated.
It is considered likely that no other
charge In the state will be able to make
so good a report at the meeting of the
Oregon conference of the United Evan
gelical Churches at Salem next Thursday
will be made by Rev. Mr. McVIckers of
the St. Johns charge.

handful, however, have come out of
the woods, and scarce any have been
"smoked out" on reform, though they
all stand for "enforcement of law."
Aspirants who have declared their
candidacy and filed notice thereof with
the City Auditor are such as Louis

But there is a big bunch of other
patriots who long to rest their bones
in the palatial Council Chamber, many
of them being on a still hunt for the
jobs. The most dignified of the seats
will be the Ave for the Councllmen-at-Large.
Next of grace will come the

their homos, but because of some de

organs they are barren.

accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace

A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of a good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity ?
