T A SUICIDE
Peter Dekinder's Body Found
With Bullet in Brain.
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.

EITHER M0R ELK
COMMERCIAL CLTJB GOVERNORS
TO CHOOSE PRESIDENT.
E, L. 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

An adjourned meeting of the club will
be held next Friday night, when the re
port of the retiring president. Mr. Lead

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

men who have left there since the earth

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

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

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.
