THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JULY 10, 1906. BOY MURDERER'S IS News of Son's Terrible Crime Kept From Mrs. Will H. Thompson. HER MIND IS AFFECTED Judge Emory's Slayer Youth of Ec centric Habits Victim of Healtli Food Craze Father Says He Was Unbalanced. SEATTLE, Wash.. July 9 (Special.) The struggle of Will H. Thompson, ex Great Northern counsel, to bear up under the strain of his son s terrible crime, is tragic. When the news was carried to him by his oldest son this morning that Judge George Meade Emory, a close friend of the family, was dead from the effects of the bullet fired by Chester Thompson, the father collapsed. By shear force of will he finally conquered himself and banished from his face all traces of the grief, and hurried back into the sick-room of his wife. Mrs. Thompson is slowly dying. Just before her husband cecelved the telephone message that told him of his son's mur derous attack upon Judge Bmory. the physicians had told the father that his wife could not live more than a month. She broke down four years ago after nursing her husband through a severe ill ness, and has been gradually growing worse, until now, a nervous and para lytic wreck, she scarcely comprehends what is happening about her. Repeated shocks of paralysis have brought on periods of unconsciousness, and in any of these she is apt to pass away. To tell Mrs. Thompson of her son's dis grace would be to kill her. and for his wife's sake, Mr. Thompson and the mem bers of his family are heroically conceal ing their own grief. Chester Thompson's erratic actions frequently kept him away from home, and his absence. It is hoped, will not be noted by the mother. That she may die In Ignorance Is the hope of the family. Father Near a Collapse. When reports yesterday indicated that Judge Emory had a chance of recovery, Mr. Thompson had assurances that he would probably be allowed to take his son to a private sanitarium, and until this morning he was hopeful. After Judge Kmory's death, early this morning, the tragic possibilities of the case over whelmed him so that he, too. Is near a nervous collapse. Mrs. May Calhoun, wife of Dr. Arthur Calhoun, physician at the Medical Lake Asylum, a daughter of Mr. Thompson, arrived home on a visit' this morning and heard for the first time the storv of her brother's crime. Mr. Thompson this afternoon gave out a statement of his son Chester's charac teristics In which he plainly pleads that the public may believe him insane. Chester has been for several years a physical culture advocate and has de veloped himself from a lad of puny strength to a man of powerful physique. He has refused to eat with the remainder of the family, adhering to health foods only, and for days at a time missing the family at meal times because of the preference of the others for old-fashioned foods. In his own room he had built gymnasium and daily he took cold water baths. From head to foot he dressed in sanitary clothing, fresh daily, and in Jail he has only asked for his regular change of underclothing and his antiseptic tooth wash. Suffered From Insomnia. The Thompson family declares Chester slept little of nights, frequently spending the nights walking, dropping when ex hausted and sleeping for a lime before his return home. On the Friday night previous to the shooting of Judge Emory he kept vigil on the Whittlesey house from the steps of a grocery opposite. Young Thompson was a photographic genius. He pleaded with his family for an opportunity to study abroad, and after he had visited several of his father's friends to plead for financial aid, Mr. Thompson yielded and had bought him a ticket for Paris just before the tragedy. Young Thompson thought he could be come a protege of Helen Gould if he had an opportunity to display his photo graphic talent and planned to become famous. All this his father tells in his statement. When the news of Judge Emery's death reached the jail today. Deputy Sheriff AVIso was sent to tell young Thompson. "You've got your man; Judge Emory Is dead," Wise stated. Manifests No Remorse. "Is that so? It's too bad. isn't it?" the young murderer replied, then turned away to complete his dressing. Later he showed neither emotion nor curiosity when police officers called to take him from the County Jail to the City Prison to be pho tographed for the rogues' gallery. He went to and from the City Jail by street car, but at no time did he make any ef fort to conceal himself from the crowd or to disguise the fact that handcuffs en circled his wrists. When newspaper pho tographers sought to take his picture he posed readily. Thompson has held himself aloof from male companions for several years, and has conversed as little as possible with strangers. This may have been responsi ble for his seeming Indifference in the presence of officers today. The ante-mortem statement of Judge Emory, given to his life-long friend, Dan iel Kelleher, has been reported to the prosecuting attorney and will be used as evidence against Chester Thompson. The prosecuting attorney Judge John F. Miller said the matter was In the hands . of Mr Mackintosh. The statement made by Judge Emory merely bears out the statements of witnesses of the shooting. The Judge said that he told Chester Thompson over the telephone that he need not attempt to see Charlotte Whittlesey, as she did not wish to see him. He said that when Thompson rushed past him he followed and was Intending to prevent him from going upstairs when Thompson shot him. This statement bears out the belief of the police that the young man was merely lu a state of jealous rage when he killed the Judge. Chief of Police Wappenstein Is of the belief that young Thompson was sane at the time of the shooting. He talked with the young man Immediately after the shooting and Thompson told him that if the officers had attempted to rush the door he would have shot to kill again. The coroner's jury will be called either today or tomorrow. Washington Postal Changes. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. July- . Washington Post masters appointed: Barron, Arthur C.

He then got his rifle and started to find Tillotson. who is superintendent of the Home Ticket mine. Mrs. Dorka sent a man to warn Tillotson. When Dorka neared Tlllotson's office he shot William Pollfka in the side. He mistook him for Tillotson. Pollfka died in a few hours.

LABOR LEADERS P Hope to Defeat Speaker in Re venge for Failure of Pet Bills. CENTER ATTACK ON HIM He Is Blamed for Killing Eight Hour Bill and Mutilation of Im migration Bill Tawney Is Slated for Successor. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 9. Notwithstanding the fact that Speaker Cannon was elected two years ago by a majority of over 15,000, there are indications that this illustrious Republican will have difficulty in being returned to the 60th Congress. Reports from his district may be overdrawn, but they certainly indicate a strong under current running against Cannon, particu larly among the laboring men. The' Speaker, while popular in the House and among public men generally, has not made himself popular with the laboring classes. He has taken a position as Speaker that bas been displeasing to union labor, and more than all else they hold him responsible for the defeat of the pending eight-hour bill. Mutilated Immigration Bill. On other legislation the Speaker has been equally unpopular with the laboring men. Toward the close of the recent session ne literally forced the House to so amend the immigration bill as to permi'. the free entry of immigrants from Italy and the other countries of Southern Europe. The bill as drawn imposed a head tax of $5 on each immigrant and also stipulated that no immigrant should be admitted to the United States unless he could read English or some other language. Ths Senate had passed such a bill and the House committee had reported it. The Speaker finally consented to have the bill considered in the House, but while the vote was being taken he per sonally went about among Republican members and whipped into line enough votes to kill these Wvo restrictive provi sions that had been demanded by labor unions in all parts of the country and which were favored by a majority of the House Union labor fears the class of immi grants who would have been barred by the head tax and educational test, and It was at their behest that these require ments were placed in the bill. The work of the Speaker was in the open, and it was apparent to every one that he alone was responsible for killing these two pro visions. True, the bill failed to become a law because, the conference committee could not agree, but it would have be come a law in the form in which it passed the Senate and was reported by the House committee but for the work of the Speaker. The result is the flood of immigrants from Southern Europe will continue. American labor will have to compete with this class, and the labor unions will not think any better of the Speaker for what he has done. . Cannon Rather Worried. It Is said by a member of Congress from Illinois that the Speaker expects to get a good share of these immigrants into his district and will look to them and to their friends for support in the coming campaign. Whether this be true or not, this same member declares that Mr. Can non is somewhat worried over the pros pect, though he does not really believe the laboring men of his district will be able to defeat him. His is largely an agricultural district. It would be a strange House without Speaker Cannon and Representative Gros venor, two old wheelhorses who have come down from the days of Reed and before. Grosvenor is already out, having been beaten for the nomination. If the same fate should await Cannon, there would be few Republicans of the old school left. Cannon's defeat, while not generally ex pected, would probably mean the eleva tion of Representative Tawney to the Speakership in case the Republicans re tain control of the House. Tawney has developed rapidly, and, as chairman of the appropriations committee, made a splendid record this past session. He is beyond question the best-equipped man for the Speakership, and would stand a better chance of election than any other Republican should Cannon be eliminated. However, Tawney is not working to de feat Cannon; he does not even hope for such a thing. He is a comparatively young man, and, if the people of his district have the good judgment to return him to Congress term after term, his ulti mate elevation to the Speakership seems car tain. mm IN IS DEFEATED G.

Expects Democrat Will Succeed Him, but Not Helnze Why Copper Millionaire Will Retire. L.OS ANGELES, July 9. United States Senator W. A. Clark, of Montana, in an interview here today, declared his belief that William J. Bryan will be nominated by the Democrats for President in 1908. The Senator expressed himself as confi dent that the Nebraskan would have no opposition in the convention. Referring to Montana politics, Mr. Clark said that his successor would "probably be a Democrat," his advices on the polit ical situation In his state being that the next Legislature would be Democratic. He did not think, however, that F. Augus tus Heinze would be nominated, and stated that he had understood Mr. Heinze had expressed himself as not desiring political preferment. The Senator stated that his own retire ment from the Senate was due to his de sire to be more at home. His duties at the capital, too, hadtaxed his strength. Mr. Clark stated that he knew Ernst G. Stackpole, who Is in the County Jail here, charged with the murder recently of Joel Scheck. Stackpole, he says, comes of good narents. livinir at Butte. Mont., and was formerly in his employ, but he has"had a checkered career. Several years ago, ac cording to the Senator, when Stackpole was a young man living with his family in Butte and working for him, he threat ened to dynamite the Senator's bank. Stackpole was arrested at the time, but out of sympathy for the latter s family Mr. Clark had declined to prosecute him. The Senator was reluctant to discuss the case in detail.

SALOON REFORM IN SALEM Move to Abolish Screen Doors Is on Foot. SALEM, Or., July 9. (Special.) The re markably small amount of drunkenness in this city on July 4, when a crowd of 20,000 people assembled to celebrate the National holiday, has started an agitation in favor of prohibiting screens in saloons On the Fourth a number of the leading saloon proprietors threw their front doors wide open and removed all screens. This was probably done as a matter of con venience in handling the crowd, but apparently had a good effect, for on such an occasion Salem never had so little drunkenness or disturbance. On all hands it was remarked that this was the most orderly crowd of the size ever seen in Salem. In the saloons there was as good order as anywhere no loud talking, wrangling or boisterous conduct. It has also been said by men. who know that an immense amount of liquor, prin clpally beer, was consumed here on that dav. There were no intoxicated men staegering on the street, even at night after a long day of celebration. Only two men were taken Into custody Decause tney were under the influence of liquor. It is quite frequently remarked that the open ing of the saloon doors had a salutary effect in restraining men from excess and in preserving order in the saloons, where many of the quarrels begin. One Salem saloonkeeper who has a dining-room adjoining his barroom has adopted the plan of removing all screens in the dining-room and likes the change. Formerly he had boxes with curtains at the doors. Liquors were served to those patrons of the dining-room who desired it. Occasionally people who took their food and drink in the boxes would be come noisy and disagreeable. Several months ago the boxes were torn out and the dining-room thrown entirely open. The result has been that the patronage has increased, the patrons order liquor pretty much the same as before, but there is always perfect order and quiet, and there Is no opportunity for suspicion that persons under age are receiving liquor secretly or in improper company. There has always been some sentiment In favor of prohibiting screens in bar rooms, but It has become quite pro nounced since the Fourth, when the most disagreeable features of the liquor busi ness were practically eliminated. A. R. Dlmick Is Promoted. A. R. Dimick, formerly chief dispatcher for the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company, has been appointed assistant superintendent to succeed G. F. Boynton. who resigned to .become claim agent for the traction lines owned by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. MISCHIEF IS AFOOT Colombian Gunboat Tampers With Panama Indians.

COURT DIVIDED ON DREYFUS Bitterness Revives and Causes Blood less Duel Between Officers. PARIS, July 8. The Supreme Court held a lengthy secret session today and adjourned without announcing its de cision in the Dreyfus case.

CANTON, O.. July 9. Mrs. William Mc Kinley has presented to the First Meth odist Episcopal Church of Canton four memorial art glass windows m honor of DIED SUDDENLY OF HEART DISEASE. TTow frnnufintlv does a head line simi lar to the above greet us In the news papers. The rush, push and strenuous ness of the American people has a strong tendency to lead up to valvular and other affections of the heart, attended by ir regular acMon, palpitation, dizziness, smothered sensations and other distrea Ing symptoms. Th hroo of the. nrominent ingredients of which Dr. Pierce's Golden MedtosJ Dis covery is made are recommended by some of the leading writers on Materia Medico, for the cure of just such cases. Golden Seal root, for instance, is said by the United States Disfensatobt, a stand ard authority, "to impart tone and in creased power to the heart's action." Numerous other leading authorities rep resent Golden Seal ae an unsurpassed tonic for the muscular system in general, and as the heart Is almost wholly com posed of muscular tissue, it naturally Follows that it must be greatly strength ened by this snperb. general tonic. But probably the most Important ingredient of " Golden Medical Discovery," bo far as its marvelous cures of valvular and other affections of the heart are con cerned, is Stone root, or CoHnonla Can., Prof. Wn. Paine, author of Paine's Epitomy of Medicine, says of it: I, not long since, had a patient who was so much oppressed with valvular disease of the heart that his friends were obliged t carry him up-stalrs. He, however, gradually recovered under the Influence of Collinaonln (medicinal principle extracted from Stce root), and Is now attending to his business. Heretofore physicians knew of no remedy for the removal of so distressing and so dan gerous a malady. With them it was all guess-work, ana It fearfully warned the afflicted that death was near at hand. Col llnsonln unauestionably affords relief in such cases, and In most instances effects a UStone root is also recommended by Drs. Hale and Ellingwood, of Chicago, for valvular and other diseases of the heart. The latter says: "It la a heart tonic of direct and permanent influence." "Golden Medical Discovery," not only cures serious heart affections, but is a most efficient general tonic and lnvigor ator, strengthening the stomach, invig orating the liver, regulating the bowels and curing catarrhal affections In all parts of the system. Dr. Pierce's Pellet cure Constipation. STS.STHEALS OLD SORES Every old sore exists because of a polluted condition of the blood.1' This vital fluid is infected with some germ or old taint, or perhaps has been left . in an unhealthy condition from a long spell of sickness, or the trouble may be inherited. The poisonous germs and matter with which the blood is sat urated force an outlet on the face, arms, legs or other part of the body and form a sore or ulcer. This being continually fed by a polluted blood supply, grows red and angry, festers and eats into the surrounding flesh until it becomes what is very aptly termed an "old sore. " The relief produced by external treatment is only temporary. The only treatment that can do any real good is a blood purifier that goes to the very root of the trouble and re moves the cause, and for this purpose nothing equals S. S. S. It drives out from the circulation all morbid matter and germs, even reaching down to hereditary taints, and by cleansing the blood heals old sores permanently. S. S. S. not only removes all taints and poisons from the blood but builds it up by supplying it with the rich, health-sustaining properties it needs to keep the system in health. S. S. S. makes pure blood and a sore must heal if the blood is pure and healthy. Book on Sores and Ulcers and medical advice free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA the late President.
