MISSING NEARLY A WEEK Aged Scow Dweller Disappeared at Time of Destruction of His Floating Waterfront Home by Xro The body of rer" Xtelrlnder. the avd cow dweller, whos floa.tfnr hom - on the water tront was destroyed by Are last Monday night, waa found yesterday jnorntntr with a bullet hole In the eltull. the evidence clearly ihowins thavt. the old man bad committed suicide. After tlie scow, fhlch was anchored about a mtle below the Northern Pacific Lumber 3Wf tile, burned to the water's edgre It de veloped that the owner was mlaeirtfC- Some of Ma friends believed that fie had jjmpei in tllft river to escape the flames And hf been drowned. Others thought tht the old man had nrriohed In the flames. The mystery of DeKi rider's die- appearance was solved yesterday morning when K. Tente. an employe of the Ban- tlfld-Veysey Fuel Company. found the body at Twenty-second street North and fiher.lock avenue, Tent Immediately notified tha polica of his disrovery and Captain Moore sent -Acting: Ietective John Irlce to the scene. The body was lying: In ft secluded spot. between a high boarfl fence and a pile 'of cord wood. The body was aearched. re- .veiillnar a number of trifling- articles. In rludlnff lO cents In money, a jrrooery bill, en old key and a number of cartridg-es. . Beside the body lay a SS-callber revolver and a pip filled with tobacco, which had never been lighted. TVIth the grocery bill in his possession Price set out to nnj someone who could identify the body. A fialoonkrepr rwo&Tilx t as that of Iklndr and tr!ee then notified the rwnr. .'orooar Ftnly took charjee of the body. An examination showed that Minder 'bad placed the miiw.1 of the revolver 'In hl mnuth and pulled the trlfctcer. The "bullet lodged in the top of the U j 11 and death must have been Instantaneous. The corpse was in the early staaea of decomposition and part of the face had been gnawed away by rats. Dekinder's motive in killing tlimselt is not known. Whether he shot himself be cause of the loss of his home, or whether he burned the scow as a preliminary will probably remain a mystery. The grocery bill found In his possession showed, that he owed the Centennial market $5.55. The old man was a recluse and earned his living by doinir odd work and chores. He was never known to have much money. So far as it Is known he had no relatives in this country. Coroner Flnley will hold no Inquest. The Coro ner's theory Is that Dekinder, despondent over the inn 0f Ws home, vanderea away and shot himself. If no one claims the body today it will be buried In the pot ter's field. JONAS D.

Mayr collapsed and ex pired before he could be returned to the residence, - Mr. Mayer was bom " in Portland 43 years ajgo. XT Is early boyhood was spent In Oregon. Ijater he removed to San Francisco.

Thompson Eliminated From Contest as Result of Insur gent Victory. The election of a president of the Com mercial Club, to succeed W. W. Lead better, will be held by the new board of governors aome afternoon this week. Kither W. B. Glaffke or H. M. Cake will be the choice of the board; between the two candidates on the surface it appears to be a9tand-off. The newly-elected members of the hoard deny that they have made a choice and say they have not discussed the question among- them- selves,. Neither Mr. Gafka nor Mr. Cake is an avowed candidate, but It - is under stood that both are willing; to accept the honor. - Mr. Cake says - he is not - an aspirant lor the office, but It li genarally understood that If he should be the unanimous choice of the board -that he would not decline the presidency. Neither he nor Mr.. Glafke has made any cam palgn, but friends of both men &r active. K. Ij. ThompMn had been prominently mentioned, bur now that the "Insur- gents' ".ticket has been successful at ttie election of governor, he is out of the race. Had the administration ticket tri umphed it Is possible that an effort would have been made to elect him. "The new hoard of governors is against the amalgamation of the publicity de partments of the Commercial Club and the Chamber of Commerce. While the change could be made without the con sent of the hoard, it would create bad feeling: between the two organisations. The plan was to transact all the pub licity work in the Chamber of Commerce, the Commercial Club becoming merely a social organization. The Chamber would entertain its prominent aruesta at the Commercial Club and the two organiza tions would virtually become one, with two divisions under separate names-one the business department and the other the socHal body. ' The publicity work of the Commercial Club is done under the direction ol the executive committee, which haS no Con nection with the hoard of govemore. The money expended In the publicity depart ment is raised by subscription, many dif- ferem persons ana corporations jubscrili' Insr a stated um each month." The executive committee, by sraintng the consent of the men who RuhnrHhA the money, could transfer the department to the Chamber of Commerce vithout consulting- wicn toe board of avnn The Cmmercial Club Itself pays SlOO a month into the publicity fund. An adjourned meeting of the club will be held next Friday night, when the re port of the retiring president. Mr. Lead better, will be received. jvir. Leadbetter Js now in California, or he would have Submitted his report at the meeting of Saturday night, when the new board of governors was elected. RECTIFIES JIS- MISTAKE l. V. Mahonej Leaves San I'ra n clsco to Locate in Portland. In the estimation of r. V. Mahoney, formerly of San Francisco, but now or Portland, this city has the most promising future of any municipality in the West. For 30 years Mr. Mahoney has been a suc cessful attorney . in San FYanctsco and san jose and is well known throughout California, but he believes that it Is never too late to remedy a - mistake, if one has been made; therefore- he has come to Portland to make hla home. Mr. Mahoney, when he was in Cali fornia, took an active part in the state Tolitlcs and held -various- publte offlces. Me had law offices both at San' -Vrandaco and San Jose, but he lost heavily In the earthquake and fire. Not desirfng to live In San Francisco under present condi tions and preferring a, broader field than ofTered In San Jose, he set out to look for a location. He Jg but one 0 tl.0 111311 prominent San Francisco professional men who have left there since the earth quake, their clients having become scat tered and lost. Mr. Mahoney first went to Los Angeles and from there to Seattle and Tacoma. After looking? over the field In those plaoea he came to Portland several days ago and he had not been in town more than 21 hours when, he conflded to. his friends that he had decided to settle here; He likes the other cities of the Coaat. but he does not believe that they offer . as much for the future as does Portland, which he believes destined aoon to be one of the greatest cities in the United States. "Abe Kuef and Mayor Schmits are doomed and I can see ho escape for t'hem." said Mr. Mahoney yesterday. "To use & slang- expression they have 'been cauxht with the (roods on them and I be lieve they will land in the penitentiary. The people of San Francisco are aroused and determined to put a stop to - the shameless graf tint? that has been " going on ever since Ruef has . held the reins of power. "San Francisco will make a rreat'eity and is rebuilding remarkably fast. Whtle It may be hard to believe.

Disgruntled over being ejected from a room in which a social game of poker was being: played by half a dozen congenial spirits on the third floor of 128 First street yesterday afternoon. A. 1. Eden decided to turn informer, melting himself up after his hasty exit from the room out of which he was assisted by the toes of several boots. Eden telephoned Police Captain Bruin and gave the "tip" that resulted in the - arrest of five poker players and also secured quarters in tiie city Jail for the informer himself. Tt was about 5 o'clock that a telohone call for Captain Bruin reached head quarters. "Do you want to enforce the law?" asked " a voice at the other end of the wire. "Certainly." answered the captain. 251 PORTLAND MAKER or MENS ""Well. T can 'show you where It is be ing greviously violated," said the un- known informer. "Come to the station and officers will be sent out with you." replied Bruin. Eden soon put in an appearance and de manded an interview with Bruin, After Eden had told his story Patrolmen James Anderson and Keller were sent to invest I -gate. The officers found nve men sitting at a table with money and cards before them. All were placed under arrest. When brougrht before Captain Slover the gamblers gave their names as Gus Ba lam. David Allen. Joe Taphere. Gus Johnson and A. Fahler. All were released on fV) ball. each, the money being furnished by John lcklund. TCden was locked up in default of similar hall as a charge of gambling was also placed against him. He was indie- nant that the police should treat him so after he had given them the Information on which the arrests were made. He had something1 over 'M in his possession, but as none of his friends volunteered to put up the balance he was turned over to ths tender mercies of Jailer Kndlcott. FRANK L.
