MlHiay 31 22 TuopJay 33 -4 It Is hard to ascertain at present ex actly what damage has been done by the cold weather to the different crops, but it is believed that it Is not gneat in the vicinity of Portland. A large percentage of the early fruit has been ruined or nearly so. but beyond that It Is thought that no harm .has resulted. If the woathor continues to moderate, as the forecasts give assurance it will, no more damage is likely to be done, even though It bo several days before normal condi tions are restored. Boys Skate on Ponds. Yesterday morning the ice on the small er ponds north of the city was sufficiently strong to bear the weight of a person, and some of the more venturesome en joyed the only skating of the present -onson. The skaters were mostly boys, however, and even with their weight the Ice broke In several Instances, letting them down Into several feet of cold wa ter. The snowfall so far has been lim ited to a few light flurries, and the fore casts do not predict more. On the other hand, it is believed that the cold weather will end with a rain. The average velocity of the wind was only 18 miles an hour yesterday. Occa sional gusts, however, were much more severe, making it so uncomfortable that few people were on the streets except those whose business necessitated their being about. THE FIHK RECORD. At 10 A. M. an alarm was turned In from Front and Vine Htreets. tn the heart of the wholesale district. The fire was of no consequence and was quickly extlnpulnhod. At S:15 P. M. fire destroyed the residence occupied by J. H. Robinson nt 301 Nineteenth btreet. Loss about $400. At S:45 P. I. a chimney fire at the residence of R. A. Rothell, 430 Morrison street, was extinguished without damage. QUARTER-BLOCK IS SOLD Thirty-Six Thousand Dollars Paid for Third and Jefferson Property.

REWARD F0R MURDERER Wife of Julius Kuhn Seeks Appre hension or Ills 'Slayer. Believing- that a reward will help In the capture of the man who mur dered her husband, Julius Kuhn, in his saloon at Wcidler street and "Williams avenue. Mrs. Rosctta Kuhn has offered a reward of $250 for the arrest of the murderer. She also offers. $250 addi tional to any one who will furnish in formation leading- to his arrest. Notwithstanding; that a reward has been offered the police are no nearer catching- the masked man who. did- the shooting; than on the night Kuhn fell dead behind his bar. Theories are prev alent, but beyond conversation there is nothing- upon wJiich to base a clew. The :ase has not been -given up as liopeless by the police, but it Is admit ted that the only thing to- do Is to wait for" developments. Serves Papers In Divorce. Papers In a divorce suit filed in Oregon City by "W.vTL. Patton against Bertha E. Patton were served y the Sheriff yes terday, . . . ' ' LOCAL GENT DOING THE AERIAL STUNT "GEE; I'D HATE TO LIYE IN THE EAST WIFERE THEY ILWK THOSE AWFUL CYCLONES. THIS NICE. MILD, BALMY COAST WEATHER FOR MINE EYERY TIME!" MM IS MISSING Minor Wanted as a Witness Disappears. CASE OF RADER AND KAY They Are Accused of Sending Youth of Nineteen Into a Disorderly House in Order to Ob tain Evidence. "Where. Oh where. Is H. L. McCabe?' Is what the liquor dealers of the city de sire to knew He Is wanted on a charge of entering a disorderly house, and In the same connection, Paul Rader. superin tendent of the Anti-Saloon League In Ore gon, is under arrest, as is also Acting Police Detective Kay, both being accused of sending a minor Into the Peerless House. Kay was arrested two weeks ago, and Rader was taken into custody yes terday, Kay being the individual to serve the warrant. Acting Chief Grltzmacher considers this a good joke. But "Where. Oh where. Is McCabe?" is the question on every tongue, at least every tongue attached to Interested par ties. The liquor dealers declare that the young man was Instructed to secure a position beyond the borders of Oregon, and that he now laughs merrily as he performs new duties within the confines of "Washington, the Evergreen state, thinking of the Portland cases. As mat ters stand, he cannot be brought back under process of law, and he Is practically all the evidence the saloonmen have against Rader and Kay. Thinks ire Will Return. "Where, Oh where. Is McCabe?" is also asked by Rev. Clarence True Wilson, presi dent of the Anti-Saloon League for Ore gon, and he innocently asked that ques tion when he was interrogated about the matter last night. "Really, I cannot say where McCabe is." said Rev. Mr. Wilson. "Really. I cannot. You see, he has not been la the employ of the Anti-Saloon League since the raid on the Peerless and we learned that he was under age, and we have no control over him now, you see. But, really. It would surprise me should Mc Cabe fall to appear in the Municipal Court tomorrow morning. I think he'll "be there. I'll bo there, you know, Jusf to show a little Interest." Nevertheless, "Where. Oh where, is Mc Cabe?" Is still the question. He was not to be found about the city yesterday. Acting Detective Kay could not locate him. " "Now, what do you think of that?" asked A. Crofton, secretary and manager for the Brewers and Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association, when ho learned that McCabe was missing. "What do you? Just think of the leaders of the Anti Saloon League permitting an Important witness against themselves to get out of the Jurisdiction of the court. And they so anxious to be arrested and prosecuted, top! What would occur were tho posi tions reversed, and they were the com plainants? I guess maybe - the liquor dealers would not get theirs." Look .for Interesting Developments. Interesting developments' may oe'looked for arisen the Municipal Court convenes this morning. The cases are scheduled for the session. What will occur cannot fee predicted with aauch degree of cer tain 13-, 1 or me Mcua.be twappearaace is too Imps riant & feature. 'If it pres- ent, as Rev. Mr. Wilson thinks he will be. the' cases can be prosecuted, as originally Intended, but if he Is not present, the cases will likely be continued or dismissed more probably the latter. At present. Kay and Rader are charged with misdemeanors, and it would be necessary to change the complaints to felony charges if it should be determined to bring McCabe back and compel him to testify. It hardly seems probable this will be done, although It! was talked of. It is said. Rev. Mr. Wilson said last night that Paul Rader would not plead guilty, but that he would testify to the truth, detailing his part In sending Mc Cabe Into the Peerless House. McCabe, who Is aged 19 years, was as signed to assist Acting Detective Kay In securing evidence, and Kay sent him to tho dive, where McCabe purchased liquor with Anti-Saloon League funds and drank with tho women Inmates. DIED FROM HEART DISEASE Autopsy Shows 3Ialady "Which Killed Dr. E. Ii. Irvine. A telegram received from San Fran cisco yesterday contained information , that Dr. E. L.

Dr. Irvine wa$ a son of Robert A. Ir vine, deceased, a prominent resident of Albany, and State Senator for Linn Coun ts'. His mother lives at Albany. MAY GO TO AMERICAN LAKE National Guard Is Planning for Summer Outing. Now that prospects of service In China appear to have faded from the norlzon, Oregon's National Guardsmen are spending- their spare time speculating- on the probable whereabouts of tho coming- Summer encampment. Sentiment Is unanimous In favor of a repetition of the American Lake man euvers, which did so much for the service two years ago. Just now there are several bills before Congress providing- large sums for Army and mi litia maneuvers this Summer, and In the event of their passage there seems little doubt, so General Flnzcr and other officers believe, that the Oregon Guard will be bent again to American Lake. Hard Fire to Handle. Fire that was presumably caused from a defective flue destroyed the house oc cupied by J. H. Robinson, 2C1 Nineteenth street, at 3:15 o'clock yesterday after noon. The loss Is estimated at UX Mrs. Robinson and a baby were present when the flames broke out. and had to leavo and go to Die home of a neighbor. The blaze was a difficult one to handle, owing to the fact that the building was located on a very "high bank, and several breaks In hose occurred before a stream was gotten on the fire. George- L. Baker's Departure. George L. Baker left last evening for Seattle in advance of the newly organ ized "Christian" company, of which Miss Lillian Lawrence and John Salnpolls are the stars. The company will depart Mon day, playing first at Salem and next at Seattle. The tour Is planned to extend over seven weeks. Msriae Xrs ReM4r Cures Byei: Makes Weak Eres Strode. ShIsm Bjre Fila.

FAITH IN HIS RELIABILITY Head of the Eastern Agency Tells of the "Work of Men Entrusted to Find the 3Iurderers of Steunenbcrg. "Detective McParland Is one of the most thoroughly efficient detectives In the United States and he Is a man in whom we place the utmost confidence. I know of no other man who Is as well fitted to have charge of the Investigation of the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg,- of Idaho, and tho other complications that have since arisen, as McParland." Such was the tribute paid to the ability of Detective McParland, who has be come prominent recently because of his connection with the Idaho troubles, by Robert A. Pinkerton, of New York, who Is a guest at the Hotel Portland. Mr. Pinkerton Is In active charge of the east ern division of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency and is In tho "West on his annual tour of Inspection. Mr. Pink erton will remain In Portland several days. Career of McParland. "Detective McParland Is a man of courage and great initiative," continued Mr. Pinkerton. "He has worked for us for more than 30 years and anything he says can be depended upon. He is at tho head of seven of our Western agencies. He has been a practical .miner himself, having worked underground In the mines of Colorado, and for this reason I think he is the best man to have charge of tho work we have undertaken. He under stands tho miners and knows how to handle them." Mr. Pinkerton was uncommunicative last night regarding the charges which have been brought against the officials of the "Western Federation of Miners. He said he had been closely following the developments but had nothing to give ouL "Professional bank forgers are al most a thing of the past, as they have been virtually stamped out." said Mr. Pinkerton. "There has not been a forg ery committed by a professional for more than two years and there have been no robberies by bank sneaks for a much longer period than that. Forgers Almost Gone. "The American Bankers' Association has probably doe more to stamp out tho professional forger and bank sneaks than any other agency. It has also done much to lessen the number of bank robberies of all descriptions. "Whenever a member of the American Bankers Association Is robbed It Is im mediately reported to us. They give us a free hand and their unlimited means Is at our command. They tell us to spare no expense. "We have followed forgers and bank robbers years before we caught them but we never rive un thn Aar.h There are but few bank robbers who will rob a member or the American Bankers' Association. They have been known to break into banks and then upon discover ing the sign of the association to leave without attempting: to 'rob the Jtafe." Spring humors, pimples and bolls are cure by, Hood's Sarsapariiia, the great blood p'irifler. POLICE FEARED TROUBLE. Owing te rumors of tone outbreaks, reaultlni? from the acquittal oC Lee Jung, Acting Chltf of Police Grltz macher yesterday Issued the follow ing order to Captain Stover, com manding the first relief: "Report la current in Chinatown today that hostilities mar he re sumed In certain quarters of the dis trict tonight on account of the ver dict rendered In the Circuit Court to day in the Chinese murder case. X do not credit the report very much, still It might be well to take some precautions against such outbreaks. Instruct the officers patrolling that part of the city to be on the lookout for any disturbances that may arise, rialn-clothes men will be detailed to aulst In this matter.'' Lee Jung was acquitted by a jury In Judge Sears court yesterday morning at 11 -30 o'clock of the murder of Mah Sue on February 5 last. In the rooms of a building at Second and Oak streets. The Jury was instructed by Judge Sears when court convened at 9:00 o'clock, and the deliberations of the Jury occupied about two hours. The story of the killing as recited by Gen Jin. a young Chinese woman, who was an eyewitness, and who testified for the prosecution, was that Lee Jung was a highbinder and demand ed 5150 from Mah Sue, and killed him because he refused to give him the money. Testifying in his own behalf. Leo Jung said he lent $13) to tho woman, who promised to repay the loan, and when he called upon her pursuant to appointment to collect the money, Mah Sue told her not to pay. and drew a revolver. A struggle for the possession of the weapon followed,, and Mah Sue was shot. Leo Jung further stated that the woman at tacked him with a long knife, and that a second shot was fired by a Chinese In hiding- behind a curtain Intended for him (Lee Jung), and which Instead struck Mah Sue. The case was stubbornly contested. Long & Swcek appeared as attorneys for the defense, and scored a signal victory. Thomas O'Day and Ralph Moody ap peared as special counsel assisting Dep uty District Attorney Adams In the pros ecution. It was a question for the Jury which story to believe, and the prisoner was given the benefit of reasonable doubt which the law provides for. Evidence was Introduced showing that Lee Jung was an industrious worker, and not one of the outlaw class. Mah Sue was 23 years old and popular. The jury was comprised of well-known citizens and. business men. VERDICT GIVEN FOR GOVE Docs Not Have to Pay a Note "Which He Indorsed. I. H. Gove, who executed a note for $300 to be used as part purchase price for his own property in Portland Heights Ad dition, will not have to pay it. The note was executed In favor of R. H. Dunn, a real estate agent, and was signed by Gove and John Bruchlcr. Dunn sued to recover on the note, and a Jury in Judge George's Court yesterday returned a ver dict In favor of Mr. Gove. As a matter of defense Mr. Govo. who Is 77 years of age and a pioneer resident of Portland, testified that he was buncoed by Dunn and Bruchler. He said Bruchler bar gained with him to buy the Portland Heights Addition property, and agreed to pay J300 down. "When the time for pay ment arrived Bruchler did not have the amount, but asserted he could borrow It if Mr. Gove would sign his note. Mr. Gove thought this was a very Irregular proceeding and demurred, when Bruchler reassured him with the remark: "Why, old man. It's all right; you get the money, don't you seer Mr. Gove, continuing his testimony, stated that he affixed his signature to the note, but never received any money, and Bruchler did not buy the property. The allegation was that Dunn made a loan of J200 to Bruchler and Gove. Dunn, however, did not take the witness-stand, and Bruchler did not appear. It was stated that he was sick, and his deposi tion was read. The principal featuro of It was that he did not desire Gove to pay any money for him, and he would pay when able to do so. The trial was postponed before because of the Illness of Bruchler. Dan J. Malarkey and George P. Lent appeared as counsel for Mr. Gove. Fall to Obey Summons. J. J.
