J VIOLATION" OF BTJTLDING OR0I XAXCES IS CHARGED. Failure of City Engineer to-Remain Ousted From Ofrice Adds to Council's Troubles. Th troubis of ?t Johns City Council Fem to increase at very session, and the ons last night was no exception. The City Engineer, W. W. Goodrich, is the center of the dissension. Though dis missed, he still performs the duties of his office and draws his fees as usual. The latest contention is over the bids for the completion of the new City Hall. The contractors have withdrawn their sub mitted bids, on the ground that the plafls and specifications are constantly being altered between the time of submission of bids and the awarding of the contract. As the engineer Is not under bonds, no recourse is possible to the city and the additional expense of advertising must be borne by the taxpayers. Another bone of contention is the viola tion of the fire-limit ordinance. Recently W. C. Adams erected a frame building in the fire limits and Youngsdorf & Son. contractors on the City Hall, have been granted the privilege of the erecting of a temporary structure In which to store materl&l used in the construction, ot the hall. Instead of erecting the temporary structure adjacent to the site, it Is being put up 300 yards away from it and ad Joining another building located in the fire limits. The City Marshal caused the arrest of one of the Youngerdorfs for a violation of the city ordinance last Tuesday, but the' matter went over for the Council's consideration last evening. The Council failed to take any action, and it Is claimed the permit granted will enable him to keep the structure indefinitely and dispose of it to other parties. The case will be tried before Judge Thorndyke probably today. In the former case the Adams structure Is completed and Is" being rented for busi ness purposes. As a special favor the fire limits were recently so altered as to permit a prominent taxpayer to wet frame structures in a district which is rapidly being occupied by business struc tures. The business interests of the town oppose these special favors and are remonstrating-against it. A feature of the session last night was the letting of a contract for the improve ment of Ivanhoe street. Ends L,ife With Poison in Jail. ECHO. Or., Nov. lS.-Special.) Fred teller committed suicide in the City Jail this afternoon. He was accused of at tempting to commit a criminal assault on "a little girl named Dempsie Hayes, about 6 years old. He had been bound over for trial this morning. At 4 o'clock he was found dead from a dose of car bolic acid, which had been passed to him. Weller was German, about 28 and had served in the regular army. For some weeks he had been cooking for a saloon chop countaiv u E DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S REPIY TO MURRAY FAMILY. C. L. McJTary Says He Wa Asked to Compound Felony, and He Declined. 3.AT.F.M, - Or., Nov. 13 (Special.) That Orlando Murray, who slew Lincoln C. Whitney at Portland yesterday, ha mis represented District Attorney McNary is evident from a statement made today by Deputy Charle6 L. McNary, whose story corroborated by a well-known resident of Salem. Murray aid that he and his sister and mother appealed to McNary for redress of Miss Murray's wrong, but without avail. As a matter of fact, their request was not for assistance such as a District at torney could legally give. They wanted him to compound a felony, which would be a breach of duty, by threatening prose cution unless Whitney married the jgirl. This McNary would not do. He offered to prosecute Whitney or advise iiim to marry the girl if he had wronged her, but McNary would not use his official power in forcing a marriage. In speak ing of the matter today Deputy District Attorney C. L. McNary said: District Attorney McNary knew nothing of .thin inattUL-a--Aft -.va&dOO. hla. wa. Tilla mook City to attend court at the time of the visit to bis office of young Murray, his mother and sister, Saturday morning, No vember 10. This was the only time any of these parties ever appeared at this of fice. Mrs. Murray gave me & Uetter of in troduction ' from Mr. Manning, after which the three visitors toid me of the nature of the charge against young Whitney, of whose existence even I did not know. After expressing my sympathy and assur ing the parties of the state's willingness to prosecute, I advised them that the facts might warrant a prosecution for either crim inal seduction or c mmon-law rape. They informed me that to prosecute was not what they wanted. Toung Murray said Whitney must marry his sister: and Mrs. Murray said the unborn child must have a name, and together they not only requested, but in sisted, that I compel Whitney to marry the young woman. They said they had been advised that I could send an officer out and bring Whitney into the office and tell him that he must marry Miss Murray or he would be sent up. I told them In these very words that this office "was not a marriage bureau: that It did not make, force or enforce marital con tracts or compound felonies": that all I could possibly do along that line would he to ask htm to call at the office, and if he did so I would apprise him of the situation in the hope that he would see his way clear to act honorably toward the young woman, providing he. was responsible for her con dition. I explained that our next regular term of Circuit Court would convene the first Mon day In January, but that a warrant of ar rest could be obtained at any Justice court In Marion County upon complaint of any person familiar with the facts: that th.i District Attorney's office, however, was pow- sald, that to send Whitney to the peniten tiary would do no good: that he must marry Miss Murray. I suggested, if they did not care at the present time to cause Whitney's arrest, that Mrs. Murray go to Hubbard and see him, at the same time repeating that they could at any time go before a Justice of the peace and have Whit ney arrested, and we would prosecute him vigorously. They all agreed to go to Hub bard that afternoon on the train and left the office after thanking me for what they pleased to term my kindness. These facts can be verified by one or more responsible disinterested parties, who were in the office at the time. ' Sold Stock in Salted Mine. SACRAMENTO. Cal . Nov. 13. William Whalen. an aged mining prospector of the State of Nevada who was arrested here for swindling a number of citizens, secur ing several thousands of dollars by false representations, was today sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment at San Quentin.

There are still three more counts against Whalen lor salting. 1 Ex-Klondike King In Jail. SEATTLE. Wash.. Nov. 13. (Spe cial.)
