MEN
tive from Justice with no one looking
for him.
When the state militia, under the
orders of the Governor, swooped down

of Dr. Cox, James Cockriil and James
B. Marcum, and Is under indictment in
Breathitt County for having forged

SLEW THE GIRL.
Because She Refused to Flirt With
Him, He Brutally Mur
' dered Her.
NEW YORK, May 26. Henry Becker,
under arrest In connection with the slay
ing of Amelia Staffeldt In Elmhurst last
Wednesday, Is alleged to have made an
other cpnfesslon to detectives tonight de
scribing with minuteness how the crime
was committed. His first statement, In

told the whole truth. He described how
he had been sleeping in the fields and
saw the girl enter the lot in search of
dandelions.
"I went iup to her," it is asserted he
said, "and tried to get up a flirtation,
but Bhe told me to go away. 'If you don't
leave me,' she said, 'I'll call a policeman.'
I can't remember somehow Just all that
happened, but I know I took hold of her
then. I hit her in the back of the head
with 8 stone. After that I struck her
once or twice with the knife."
"What did you do that for?',' asked Gal
vln. "How do I know?" muttered Becker,
who conilnuedd his narrative.

he said he went toward Corona as fast
as possible and there, near a railroad
crossing, took off his outside shirt, which
was stained, tore It up and threw it into
the bushes.
LEAVES WHEN FOUND OUT
Mrs. Williamson Deserts Children
After Her Conduct Is Known.
CINCINNATI, O., May 26. (Special.)
That the revelations of an amateur
Sherlock Holmes were responsible for
the disappearance of Mrs. G. W. Wil
liamson from Sandusky, Ohio, wife of
a prominent Portland, Or. business
man. Is the belief. Mrs. Williamson,
a striking blonde, who claims to be
a Pacific CoSst actress known as Lil
lian Marr, came to Sandusky a little
over a month ago with her husband's
children by a former wife, now de
ceased, Mildred, aged 12 and Arthur,
aged 14. to visit relatives of her hus
band. These relatives did not fancy
the ways of Mrs. Williamson, and got
the Erie County Humane Society to
make application to the Probate Court
for an order reposing the custody of
the children in Mrs. J. J. Barnes care
of Sandusky. Alfred Williamson, a
brother-in-law of the actress, said he
had been doing a little detective work
on the quiet. He described many wine
suppers and other "seances" as he
termed them, in which his brother's
wife and local business and profes
sional men .were principals. Follow
ing this revelation Mrs. Williamson
disappeared, deserting the children.
The name of G. W. Williamson does
not appear In the Portland, directory.

NEW
ROAD
Grain Shipments at Lewiston
' Will Reach Millions of
Bushels.
7000 CARS ARE NEEDED
New Joint Road Is Sure of Enough
Hauling to Keep It Busy Be
sides Grain, 150 Cars of
Fruit Will Be Shipped.
LEWISTON, Idaho. May 26. (Spe
cial.) It Is estimated by those in a
position to know that approximately
7,000,000 bushels of grain will be sent
through the Lewiston gateway this
Fall and Winter to Portland over the
Joint road that Is now being completed
for the use of the Northern Pacific
and the O. R. & N. Of this amount
4.000,000 bushels will come from the
Palouse branch between Arrow Junc
tion and Garfield, 2,600,000 bushels
from the Culdesac and Lapwai
branches and the remainder from the
country tributary to Lewiston.
The estimates of railroad companies
place the carrying capacity of grain
cars at about 1000 bushels, which
would mean that 7000 cars will be
needed to carry the grain to market
from the country tributary to Lewis
ton, or a daily train of 20 cars.
The grain feature alone Indicates
the great tonnage to be turned down
the river to Portland with the comple
tion of the bridge across the Clear
water River and the . laying of the
track from Almota to the north bridge
approach, a distance of 35 miles.
As an additional indication of the
development of traffic In the Clear
water and Snake River sections that
will come directly to the new road. Is
the estimate of the fruit shipments
from here and points along the river.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
late frosts severely damaged the or
chards In this vicinity, prominent fruit
growers have estimated that 150 cars
of fruit will be shipped to market from
the orchards on the. river this season.
Had the cold weather not damaged the
crop the output for the season would
have been three times this amount,
and with the thousands of additional
acres that will be set to fruit in this
valley on the lands brought under the
new irrigation projects the traffic in
fruit tonnage will grow Immensely.
Orchards and grain fields are only
two of the many resources that will
furnish tonnage for the new road, and
it Is in anticipation of this that the
Northern Pacific is already engaged
in the reconstruction of the Palouse
branch from Marshall Junction to
Lewiston. New ties and heavier steel
are being laid and the roadbed proper
ly ballasted tor the heavy traffic The
Clearwater line will also be rebuilt
during the Summer in preparation for
the Increased business that is antici
pated when the Lewiston gateway is
opened and traffic takes natural course
down the river grades to the' sea.
HOOD PRICE IS $5 A CRATE
Crop for Season Estimated at 70,
000 to 80,000 Crates.
HOOD RIVER, Or., May 26. (Special.)
Estimates made by growers place the
strawberry crop this year at between 70,
000 and 80,000 crates, with prices as high
or higher, than last year. So far prices
have ranged higher than last season for
the number of crates shipped, with a
much stronger demand. Shortage of ber
ries in other districts Is expected to
keep the price close to the J3 mark dur
ing the entire season, which is expected
to last six weeks.
The first berries brought $8.50 a crate,
and they are now selling at t5. The
biggest shipment so far was made yester
day when 260 crates were sent out. The
favorable weather yesterday and today
is expected to hurry along the crop, and
by the latter part of the week It is ex
pected carload shipments will commence.
High prices for berries last year and
this is expected to result In a much
larger acreage next year. The shipment
of strawberries was . 150 crates today,
with the price firm at to. But few
growers picked today.
GOING CfiAZY OVER TIMBER
ALL CLASSES IX LINN COUNTY
TCRXLXG "SQUATTERS."
Every Available Claim in County Is
Pre-empted and Many Mix-ups
Expected to Result.
ALBANY, Or., May 26. (Special.) Un
equalled in Interest by any land move
ment that ever prevailed here, the con
test for Southern Pacific timber land
continues unabated. Every timber belt
in Linn County is filled with cruisers
and "squatters." Business and pro
fessional men and workmen of all
trades and classes in this city are tak
ing part in the movement. Though
many who are filing applications have
little faith in the movement. It is the
disposition to "take a chance." Many
argue that they sat still and saw all
the Oregon timber claims taken and
they are not solng to let another op
portunity, how small the chance of its
realization, slip by. The Caking of tim
ber claims was regarded as a wild
scheme ten years ago, they say, and
the future may prove the wisdom of
filing on the railroad land grant at this
time.
Interest has spread from Albany to
other towns of the county and parties
are forming in some of them to par
ticipate in the applications. County
officers here are besieged daily with
letters of inquiry as to the proper
method of procedure. The opinion has
gone forth in some localities that fil
ings can be made here like a Govern
ment timber and stone entry and the
applicant can commute at ' $2.50 per
acre after six months' actual residence.
So active has the hunt for claims
been pursued that Southern Pacific con
tract land is being taken as readily
as that owned tbso'i-teiy by the Ore
gon & California Railroad Company.
Though the land is under-contract to
be sold to other parties the "squatters"
claim that a contract to sell .the land
at any other figure than $2.50 per acre
and to actual settlers is void and the
contract land is open to settlement
under the acts of Congress governing
the original grant. Most of the South
ern Pacific contract land in this coun
ty is owned by Avery, Green fc
Richardson and the Eastern Timber
Company. The Hammond Lumber
Company had extensive holdings until
a year ago, when it secured deeds for
the property. Under the claims of the
people who are taking contract lands
these sales would also be void.
It is believed here that practically
all of the good timber land in the rail
road grant in Linn County has been
filed on. In fact, it is thought that
when the smoke of the rush clears
away there may be more than one ap
plication on many claims.
DEAD OF THE NORTHWEST
Mrs. Frank Bowles, Daughter of Ex-
Governor Geer.
BAKER CITY. Or.. May 26. (SQeclal.)
At 7:15 o'clock this morning Mrs. Frank
Bowles died at St Elizabeth's Hospital in

monia. Her father, ex-Governor T. T.

be burled, by her mother's side. The fu
neral will occur at 2 o'clock Tuesday. Be
sides her husband, a father, brother, sis

OREGON" CITY TO ACQUIRE
MORE LIQUOR REVENUE.
Proposal to Double Amount Is De
feated and Compromise Is
Agreed Upon.
OREGON CITY, Or., May 26. (Spe
cial.) Through the intercession of
Councilman Albert Knapp. the proposal
to double the retail liquor licenses in
this city was defeated last night at a
special meeting of the council. Last
week a majority of the councilmen and
Mayor Caufleld agreed to raise the so
loon licenses from $400 to $800 per an
num and a mighty howl of protest en
sued, but the ordinance was Introduced
by Councilman William Andresen,
chairman of the finance committee. Mr.
Knapp made an earnest plea to the
council, asking them not to fix the
license at a figure where it would be
prohibitive, and said that not a few of
the liquor dealers would be driven out
of business, and offered an amendment
to the ordinance, increasing the license
$200 per annum, making the amount
$600 Instead of $300. This was agreed
to by a unanimous vote after some dis
cussion. Councilman Andresen voting
for the amendment. The price of
wholesale licenses for liquor dealers is
made $200 per annum by the new ordi
nance, which will come up for final
passage early in June. Councilman
Andresen's ordinance, compelling the
saloons to close between midnight and
5 A. M., passed its first reading and
will probably become a law.
The ordinance authorizing the Im
provement of cross streets running into
the main thoroughfare of the city was
ordered republished. . as there was an
error in the first publication.
The council declined to make an ap
propriation for the celebration of the
Fourth of July, as the cnarcer torbids
it, but later on, however, there will be
an appropriation made, for prizes for
hose races, which would have been
pulled off in any event.

visors to Aid in Raising
the Rate.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 26. (Special.)
While the details of the gas bribery be
came public at the time of the confes
sions of the boodllng Supervisors, the
total of the sums Involved has been
divulged through the indictments filed
during the last two days. Ruef and
Schmitz received as their share $3250
each, while $750 went to each of the 18
Supervisors, making a total of $20,000
Illegally expended by the gas company.
It was Frank G. Drum who, according
to the evidence in the possession of the
grand jury, passed the $20,000 of bribe
money In the shape of currency done up
In a package, to Ruef. Drum, Desabla
and Martin, together with H. V. Halsey,
constituted the executive committee of
the San Francisco Gas & Electric Com
pany. The three executive committee
members indicted yesterday each re
ceived a salary of $18,000 per year and
were in close touch with Ruef, who was
also on the company's payroll at a salary
of $1000 per month. They were entrusted
with the financing of the company's af
fairs and the keeping of its bonds.
When the company's plant was de
stroyed by fire in January. 1906, entailing
a loss of $1,000,000. the bonds were threat
ened, and on top of this came the dan
ger of a reduction in the gas rate to 75
cents through the pledges of the Super
visors to effect a change. This meant
a larger cutting off of profits than those
in charge of the gas company's money
bags could lightly consider, and the only
method open to them to avoid the threat
ened deficit was to bring pressure to
bear to force the rate back to 85 cents.
Once this was determined upon, the at
tainment of the end was easy. Ruef
came to Drum to discuss the gas rate:
Drum passed Ruef the $20,000 package of
currency, whispered the desire of the
company, and the details were all that
remained to be arranged.

TEMPLE TO COST A MILLION
Elaborate Plans for Mining Con
gress Building in Denver.
DENVER, Col., May 26. That the min
ing temple to be erected In this city by
the National Mining Congress shall be a
magnificent building, to cost a million
dollars, was practically decided by the
executive committee of the congress at
a meeting in this city last night. Secre
tary James F. Galbraith had prepared a
plan for a building at a cost of $300,000,
but this did not meet the views of Pres
ident J. H. Richards, of Boise, Idaho,
who agued that it was better to delay the
construction until the project can be
carried out on a grand scale. He won
over the other members of the committee
to his point of view and it was agreed
to undertake to raise J1,000,000 for build
ing the temple.
The committee issued the formal call
for the next meeting of the congress at
Joplin, Mo., November 11 to 16. The prin
cipal subjects which it is hoped to agi
tate are the drafting of laws for the
prevention of accidents in mines, the es
tablishment of uniform laws In all states
to establish side line location of claims
and the abolition of the apex rights and
general revision of the mining laws
throughout the country so that they may
be uniform in all states.

31en Entrusted .With -Revision of
Vulgate Begin on Long: Work.
ROME, May 26. The question of the
revision of the Vulgate, or St. Jerome's
Latin version of the Bible, which has
been entrusted to the Benedictines, Is as
suming greater importance. The Osser
vatore Romano has published the text of
Cardinal Rampolla's letter to the Rev.
Father Heamptlnne, private abbot of the
order, explaining the most useful field
of study to be the warrants, or authori
ties of the Vulgate. St. Jerome's ver
sions was recognized as the authentic
text for public use in churches by the
Council of Trent, but the Council will not
deny its imperfections. The Cardinal
says he would like the present transla
tions made to correspond more faith
fully with the original text.

Cardinal Rampolla continues, "much la

scholars already have dedicated them
