HEMBREE GUILT!
OF MANSLAUGHTER
Jury at Tillamook Deliberates
for More Than Twenty
Four Hours.
VERDICT IS A COMPROMISE
Nine of the Members Were lor Mur
der in First Degree for Killing
and Burning the Bodies of
Wife and Daughter.
TILLAMOOK, Or., July 29. (Special )
After a deliberation of more than 24 hours
the Jury which heard the testimony in
the A. J. Hembree murder case this af
ternoon returned a verdict of manslaugh
ter against the defendant. The verdict of
the Jury comes as a surprise, as it was
generally expected by this community and
others who have followed the develop
ments of the trial that the accused would
be adjudged guilty of murder in the first
degree.
The testimony was all circumstantial,
but it was of such a nature as to lead to
the the belief that Hembree would either
receive the heaviest penalty of the law
or that he- would be acquitted. Hembree
was given the benefitof a doubt by several
of the Jurymen who were reluctant to sen
tence their neighbor to death, notwith
standing the hideousness of the charges
against him.
The Jury retired yesterday and this af
ternoon it returned the verdict. The Jury
men wrangled all night, and it Is said that
it looked for a time as though no under
standing could be arrived at by those
who composed the body. It was learned
that when the first ballot was taken that
nine stood for a verdict of murder in the
first degree and three for acquittal, and
the outcome is what is known as a com
promise verdict.
The crime with which Hembree was
charged and for which he has been found
guilty of manslaughter was unusually re
volting. The defendant was charged with
having murdered his wife and 16-year-old
daughter, whose bodies it is alleged, he
tried to dispose of by cremation in a
tove. Finding that he could not hide all
traces of his infamy, he is alleged to have
set fire to the home and spread the news
that his wife and daughter had been un
able to escape from the flaming dwelling
and had met accidental death.
Upon examination of the ruins, bones
of human beings were found in the stove.
Dr. C. H. Upton testified that it was his
opinion that the skull of one of the
women had been crushed before crema
tion. The stove, which played an im
portant part in the case, was introduced
in court as evidence. James Eldridge, a
strong witness for the prosecution, tes
tified ha.t' he had viewed what seemed
to him to be two skeletons in the ruins,
and said that one of them had apparently
been beheaded.
The prosecution attempted to show that
the bodies could not have been so badly
charred by the mere burning of the house.
and contended that after the murder
Hembree endeavored to burn them up in
the stove.
The principal evidence Introduced by
the defense was the testimony of the two
small sons of the deefndant. They tes
tified that after the Are they had found
charred bones in the ruins, which they
had thrown in the direction of the stove.
The defense laid stress upon the suppo
sition that In this manner the telltale
bones found lodgment in the stove.
Hembree was given to dissipation. He
exhibited marked nervousness all during
his trial, but from the first until the
last stoutly contended his innocence and
showed no signs of weakening. The crime
is supposed to have been committed De
cember 28, at Sand Lake, and the case
was tried In the Tillamook County Cir
cuit Court
1? Hembree had been cleared on this
charge, it is said he would have been
brought to trial for alleged illjlct rela
tlons with his daughter.

Secretary of State a resolution designat
ing "Walla Walla as the principal office of

ENTRY IS ONE DAY LATE
PORTLAND OARSMEN MAT NOT
GO TO WORCESTER REGATTA.
Directors of Rowing Club Doubtful
. of Acceptance by National
Association."
There is some doubt whether the entry
of the Portland Rowing Club senior four
in the international regatta on Lake
Qulnsigamond, Worcester, Mass., will be
accepted. According to the rules of the
National Association of Amateur Oars
men, under whose auspices the Worces
ter regatta will be held, all entries should
have been in last Friday. Of course,
immediately upon receipt of the news of
the easy victory of the Portland crew
at Nelson, the board of directors wired
entry of their crew to F. R. Foitmeyer
at New York, secretary of the national
association. No answer has yet been re
ceived from Secretary Foitmeyer, but it
is hoped that by today definite knowledge
will be had whether or not the Portland
four can enter the big regatta.
Coach Murphy wired yesterday from
Nelson, B. C, that he would prefer to
have the crew go East direct from Nel
son. If favorable word is had from the
national association the crew will be
wired transportation and expenses to
Worcester at once. But little difficulty
is anticipated in raising the money for
the trip. The sum of $1200 is calculated
to cover all expenses and the directors
feel that they can raise this amount in
a short while from .oid members of the
club and others Interested In rowing.
The regatta on Lake Qulnsigamond
which it is proposed to enter is the an
nual affair of the national association.
About 75 separate boat clubs are mem
bers of the association and all of these
are qualified to enter the Worcester
races. This regatta is the big event of
the year among amateur oarsmen and
while no college crew row some of their
men often compete under club colors.
Bnthused by the good record made at
Nelson many rowing devotees freely
stated yesterday that they thought the
four of the Portland Rowing Club could
win from any other club crew In the
country.
BEAVERS WILL MEET SEALS.
Expect to Stay at the Head of the
Column.
Manager McCredie and hta bunch of
clever ballplayers left on last evening's
train for Oakland, where they open a
series of seven games with San Francisco
tomorrow. The team is in fairly good
shape, with the exception of Charlie
Moore, who is still suffering from a se
vere cold. The pitching staff Is in good
trim and primed to win most of the
games on the road. The Beavers realize
that the Seals, at trie gait tney are nit'
tine now, are a hard nut to crack, but at
that they expect to get more than a ma
jority of the games.
After the week with San Irancisco the
locals go to Los Angeles, where they
take on Fresno for six games. These
games should be easy picking for Port'
land, as Fresno will be as much at a dis
advantage on the Angel grounds as Port
land. Meanwhile, Los Angeles and San
Francisco will be hooked up at Oakland
Even if Portland can do no better than
break even with San Francisco, Dillon's
crew should be able to pull more games
from the Seals the following week than
Mique Fisher's Raisinpickers can take
from Portland. Oakland comes here Au
gust 14 for two weeks.

PACIFIC
Oregon, Washington and Idaho Last Year Produced 51,874,000 Bushels, the Largest
Crop on Record Distribution and Stocks on Hand.
. The 1905 wheat crop in Oregon. Washington and Idaho reached a grand total of 51,874,727 bushels, exceeding that of
any preceding year- by more than 6,000,000 bushels, the nearest approach to these figures being in 1901. when the crop
amounted to nearly 47.000,000 bushels. The figures on the final out-turn, as indicated In the accompanying table, have
been compiled with great care from official sources, the publication being delayed later than usual in order to receive
the complete railroad reports of stocks on hand at the close of the season. The Oregonian, on September 10, 1906. In
accordance with its usual custom, printed an estimate on the prop then being harvested. This estimate was compiled
from data Becured by a number of correspondents and by a personal Inspection of the principal wheat districts by an
Oregonian writer who. for the past ten years, has spent the greater part of the month of August in the districts which
have the most important bearing on the size of the crop. With very little of the Spring wheat cut at that time, the
September estimate indicated a yield of 50.000.000 bushels. The discrepancy of something less than 2,000.000 bushels be
tween the actual out-turn and the estimate made last September was due to a remarkably fine yield of late Spring grain.
The Government figures on the crop, as usual, are widely at variance with those obtainable by the railroads,
warehousemen and others familiar with the matter. For the first time in many years, the Government figures are too
low. The estimates made from the final report of the Government show a total for the three states of but 48.097,000
bushels. This shortage of 4,000,000 bushels is In striking contrast with the overestimate of 13,000,000 bushels made by the
Government on the 1904 crop. The Oregonlan's September estimate on the 1904 crop was 45.100,000 bushels,, and Government
figures placed it at 57.239,000 bushels. The actual out-turn was 44.096,000 bushels. The Government credits Washington
with but 27,465,000 bushels last year, while, as a matter of fact, her crop was nearly, if not fully, $5,000,000 bushels.
The most remarkable feature of the 1905-06 shipping season was the unusually large shipments of both wheat and
flour to California ports. From Portland alone these shipments reached a total of more than 5,000,000 bushels, equiv
alent to 50 average-sized European cargoes. Oriental flour shipments from Portland broke all former records, these
shipments, on a wheat basis, being 1,200,000 bushels greater than for the preceding season, and 700,000 bushels greater
than in any previous season on record. Accompanying table gives in detail the distribution of crop of the three states:

Ennon Califf pitched the Giants to the
long end of a 4-3 game yesterday after
noon, assisting largely in the victory by
Jiis own clever box work. Portland hit
at opportune moments, Vlckers lost con
trol at critical points, and his team
mates erred when it hurt most. These
were the reasons for Portland's scores.
The crowd came near to being an
overflow. The grandstand and bleachers
were all but filled. to the last seat. This
large turn-out was very encouraging to
the boys, for it gave them a happy
send-off on their California trip of two
weeks, which will largely determine their
chances for the pennant.
Vickers passed Sweeney in tha second
inning, gave him life at second by a bum
throw to first, and followed this up by
presenting Mike Mitchell with four wide
ones. On a wild pitch Bill went to third
and a minute later he and Mike suc
cessfully negotiated a double steal. In
an effort to draw Mike from third and
cut him off on the return Blankenship
threw to center field and Sweeney tallied.
McLean hit in the next session. Ben
Henderson followed suit. Lister laid one
down to Isbell, who threw to Croll, kill
ing nenaerson, but that worthy In an
attempt to complete a double to first
heaved the ball Into the bleachers and
Mac scored.
The locals annexed two more in the
next inning by better playing. Sweeney
hit another to safe territory and Mitchell
sent him in by a scorching three-sacker
which Van Buren could not head off.
McCredie did his duty and put Mike
on the boards by banging a nice one
through Mott at third base. .
For five innings Califf had the Siwashes
tied in a knot trying to find his delivery,
but one lone hit going to their credit
during that time. Vickers, first up,
scratched out a hit in the sixth. Bull
Croll hit to Lister, who failed to handle
the chance cleanly. Van Buren struck
out, but Blankenship soused one square
for two bases. This enabled Vickers and
Croll to register and Croll came in later
on a bad throw home by Henderson of
Householder's grounder. Streib followed
with a deep slash to second and on this
Blankenship made it one more. Califf
settled down after this brief excitement

GLOSS AFTER PAPE
Portland Sculler Anxious
Meet Champion Again.
to
CALIFORNIAN SENDS DEF
Declares He Has Backers Ready to
Bet $5000 Against $3000 That
He Can Beat the Ore
gon Oarsman.
Al Pape, amateur single-scull champion
of the Pacific Coast, has accepted the
challenge of Ed Gloss, the local oarsman,
to a match race over a one and one-half
mile course for the amateur Coast title
and a side bet of any size. Gloss and
Pape have rowed twice, and victory has
gone to the San Franciscan each time.
At Astoria three years ago Pape won,
and at the Lewis and Clark Fair last
Summer he defeated Gloss again. Gloss
however, is still confident that he is
better man than Pape, and he has been
anxious al Summer to arrange a match.
Pape, who is now at Reno, Nev., recently
heard of Gloss' ambition and he imme
diately announced his willingness to meet
the local man.
Gloss is in better condition than ever
before. He has trained - consistently ell
season, and at nelson (Saturday ne beat
Sawyer, of Vancouver, rowing In much
better time than he ever did before. Qloss
alleges that he lost on a fluke at the Fair
grounds last year, and Is very anxious
for another try.
Pape'a acceptance Is In these words:
"John Cribbins, manager for Philadel
phla Jack O'Brien, stands ready to bet
that I can beat Gloss any distance he is
willing to go. He will bet $5000 against
33000. Cribbins also Is willing, in order
to bring about the match that Gloss ap
pears to want so badly, to advance all
of the challenger's expenses to San Fran.
Cisco, where the match will be pulled off
If Gloss can get his friends to cover the
wager that Cribbins wants to put up. Be
sides all this. Cribbins will put up a $50
trophyv as, of course, being amateurs, we
cannot race for money.
"I am ready to row Gloss in December
in the Oakland Estuary, and I will prove
that I his master in a racing shell or
never row again."
Gloss is due to return to Portland on
Wednesday, and his answer to Pape's defl
is awaited with interest. A match be
tween these two oarsmen would prove
great drawing card, and It is hoped that
it can be pulled off on the Willamette.
Gloss has many admirers in Portland, and
he would have little trouble in getting
backers wno would cover Pape s money
SCHILLERS WIN ONCE MORE
Defeat Crack Baseball Team at
Newberg.
The crack Schiller baseball team defeat
ed Newberg on its home grounds, yester
day afternoon, by a score of 5 to 2. The
Newberg team is one of the strongest
amateur organizations in the state, and
gave, the Portland boys the hardest game
of the season. Troy Myers was in the
box for the Schillers, and although he
was touched up for 11 safety hits, he
managed to keep them scattered, and
brilliant support by bis fielders kept hits
from developing into runs.
Springer, of the Newberg team, is
crack, he pitched great ball and proved
an enigma to the hard-hitting clgarmak-
ers in all but one inning.

BACKING THEIR JUDGMENT
Cablegrams From England Received
at Salem Indicate That British
and European Prospects
Daily Grow Poorer.
SALEM. Or.. July 29. Speclal.) Not
withstanding a belief more or less general
that the recent boom in the hop market
has been brought on by dealers who hive
an Interest in bulling the market, it is as
serted that the men who have been mak
ing contracts at 15 cents are backing their
judgment as to what the value of hops
will be when the crop has been harvested.
When It Is stated upon good authority
that a considerable portion of the hops
bought at 15 cents are for export to Eng
land, it becomes apparent that the buying
is not merely, for effect upon the market.
un tne contrary, it develops tnai saiem
buyers have had information for several
days from reliable sources in England
that the European prospects are dally
growing poorer. They have evidently been
keeping Uie advices to themselves while
they proceeded to buy all they could to
fill orders.
When asked today upon what he based
his bellei: that hops are worth the 15
cents a pound he is paying, Joseph Har
ris produced a series of cablegrams from
England showing steadily reduced esti
mates of the yield in that country
and on the Cpntinent, the latest advices
placing the English crop at 325,000 hun
dredweight and the Continental crop at
640,000 hundredweight, a total of 865,000
hundredweight, as against 695,000 hundred
weight In England and 1.260,000 hundred
weight on i..e Continent, or a total of
1,955,000 hundredweight last year. This
shows a yield of 1,080,000 hundredweight.
or 655,000 American bales, less- than last
year.
In addition to this, the Oregon crop is
yet uncertain. A yield of 125,009 bales has
been expected, but he believes this will
be reduced to 100,000 bales by the dry
weatner.
SEVEN TIMES MURDERER
HALF-BREED PRISONER CON
FESSES TO STOOIj-PIGEON.
John. McLain Said to Have Tortured
and Killed Judge Lewis
and Wife.
SPOKANE, Wash., July 29. (Special.)
Seven brutal murders are charged to John
McLain, a halfbreed from the Colville
reservation, now serving one year in
Walla Walla prison for attempted mur
der. Okanogan and Lincoln County offi
cials are behind the charges, and claim
to have strong evidence. McLain is de
clared to be the m06t desperate criminal
In the Pacific Northwest. The story of
his alleged crimes is claimed to have
been secured through the medium of
stool pigeon at the penitentiary.
Three years ago McLain is charged with
torturing Judge Lewis at Almira, Lincoln
County, and murdering the wealthy old
man after he revealed the whereabouts of
his $6000 hoard. Mrs. Lewis appeared on
the scene and was promptly killed. It Is
alleged McLaln's partner in this crime
was Edward Condon. The two are said to
have come to Spokane, where McLain is
charged with killing and robbing his al
leged partner.
Northern Pacific authorities will charge
McLain with murdering an express mes
senger in Montana last year. He is
claimed to have confessed to killing an
aged Montana rancher and robbing him
of $27,000. British Columiba authorities
are said to want McLain for the murder
of two settlers in the Okanogan district
of the province. The story is probably the
most remarkable in the annals of the
state's criminal history.

Their patronage consists of reading the
magazines under the pretense of looking
them over before buying, and after they
have assimilated all the literature they
desire depart for other climes without so
much as purchasing a newspaper.
"They are pests, it must be admitted,
but try as we may we cannot get rid of
them," remarked a prominent newsdealer
recently. "I know of persons in Portland
who read all the magazines and never
buy any. Come to my place of business
almost any time of the day and I will
show you naif a dozen or more persons
lounging before the counters carefully
picking over the various publications.
Some of them, of course, are legitimate
patrons.
The deadbeats will nick ud a maeazine
and hurr through a story. Then thev
will pick up another and read from It and
pretend that they are undecided. When
our backs are turned they will sneak out
and disappear down the street. Women
are worse than men. I know of several
who go from stand to stand when the
magazines begin to arrive. This is the
kind of etiquette you expect from a hanger-on
who goes in a saloon and eats free
lunch without buying a drink.
"Usually these deadbeats stick close to
someone who intends to purchase. We
can't very well call the whole party down
wiuioui onenamg some of our real cus
tomers, so what are we to do? When
these pests drift in by themselves we get
on to them, but they swallow many a
broad hint before finally driven away."

General Agent Ellis, of Southern Pa

Rid of Persistent Patron.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 29.-(Specian.
Because she could get no word of her
freight shipments from San Fran
cisco, a woman has occupied a chair in
the office of General Agent E. E. Bills of
the Southern Pacific for several days, re
fusing to leave until the doors were lock
ed at night and returning early the next
morning to renew her vigil.
Mr. Ellis noticed the woman talking: to
his clerks several days in succession.
Then she moved into his private office
and refused to budge until she got her
freight. She refused him any informs-'
tion, declaring he could consult his clerks
if he wanted to know.
Mr. Ellis fled to Portland when he
could not dislodge her. He returned and
found her still in possession and hurried
to Everett. If the San Francisco block- -
ade still continues and the woman is
around tomorrow he will go to Tacoma.
