V VOL. XLVI.-XO. 14,533. PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1907,. PRICE FIVE CENTS. 1 v: E ADDED TO LIST Little New York Girl Latest Victim. 80DY FOUND NEAR HER HOME Enraged Residents Clamor for .. Vengeance. WRECK SHOP OF SUSPECT Wild Scenes In , "the Graveyard," District Where Atrocious Mur ders Are of Almost Daily Oc currence, Causing Panic. NEW YORK, Aug. 1. "The graveyard," the foreign populated neighborhood on First avenue, between Thirteenth . and Fourteenth streets Is known locally, gave Up today a fresh crime, rivaling in atro city the mysterious butcheries of last week. The latest discovered victim was an 8-year-old girl, and, like the two young women murdered, she had beei shockingly mistreated before death and the body mutlllated when life was ex tinct. . The three murders were strikingly simi lar. Iast Thursday night a woman was strangled In a Twenty-second-street boardinghouse: the next morning the body of a still unidentified woman, who had been choked to death, was found In an areaway In East Nineteenth street. Katie Prltschler, daughter of a restau rant waiter, disappeared a week ago to day and was killed that night. A ribbon placed about the throat and drawn so tightly that It cut the flesh, showed how she died. Her body was found today. Worst Crime of All. If the brutality of the murders can be qualified, thai of the Prltschler girl ranks first. Hhe was assaulted, murdered and then her lifeless form was horribly mu tilated. The "graveyard" takes Its name from the proximity of the old Thirteenth-street cemetery, and the locality has been the scene of several revolting murders. The majority of the residents are foreigners. The body of Katie Prltschler was dis covered today within a block of her home and scarcely a hundred yards ' from the location of a placard placed by the father calling attention to the fact that his child was lost; How the body could have remained undiscovered for a week Is not explained. The body lay upon a berry crate with seemingly no effort at concealment. "You can say for me," Coroner Har i burger declared, "that the crimes in Ber lin of which the newspapers have told, have not been one-thousandth part as bad as the murder oi this little girl." Girl's Neighbor Arresteor. At the Coroner's direction Gaetano Rlppolano, whose cobbler shop ad Joins the girl's home, was arrested and asked to explain his absence from his shop last Friday. He established the fact thafhe had spent the day at Bristol, Conn. The girl is said to have frequented Rippolano's place, and a search of the shop brought to light a man's shirt which bore red stains. The cobbler was arrested and remanded to the Coroner. Guiseppe Bonfanto, Rippolano's partner, was questioned, but threw lit tle light on the case and was not de tained. The police also began a search for a woman who is said to have formerly roomed at the Prltschler home, but who left there after a quar rel ana took lodgings in the house where the girl's body was found. When the news of the .finding of the little one's body spread through the neighborhood, excitement rose to such a pitch that the removal of the body and the arrest of Rlppolano caused al-' most a riot. Many thousands of per sons were in the nearby streets when the wagon from the morgue arrived. At sight of the covered body the crowd vented Its grief and rage In a babel of tongues. The police were compelled to use force to get through the street. Enraged Mob Smashes Windows. Soon afterward the arrest of the cobbler became knowji and the crowd charged the prisoner's shop. Rlppolano had been safely removed to the sta tion house, but his shop windows were smashed, and only the determined front of the police reserves, who clubbed right and left, prevented greater dam age. John Kusmicho, the Russian watch man under arrest as a suspicious per son, and who is said to have been seen . in the company of the girl -whose body was found In the area way on East Ninth street, was today remanded without ball until Saturday. No clew to the murder in Twenty-second street was secured today. Later it was decided to hold Bonfan to for examination tomorrow. Dora Messer. who is said to have been seen in the company of the cobbler, was ar rested as a witness. She was arraigned In the night court and held for the Coroner. t : One Killed, Many Injured.

RENOM NAT On Roosevelt's Resolution Firmly Made. URGED INDORSEMENT OF TAFT Action of Ohio Committee Prevents Acceptance. FAITHFUL TO HIS FRIEND Man Deep in President's Confidence - Says He Is Actively Backing Tip Taft and Could Not Play Him False. WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. (Special.) President Roosevelt will not permit the Republican National convention to nomi nate him - for another term. This infor mation comes from a source that can be absolutely relied upon one so deep In the confidence of the President and In knowl edge of his purposes that, if made known, it would be universally accepted as final without question. The action of the Republican State Committee In Ohio on Tuesday led to the declaration quoted. The authority for the statement went on to say further, in corroboration of his own knowledge and opinion, that Mr. Roosevelt would not have permitted the Ohio Republicans for mally to commit themselves to Secretary Taft if he were not unalterably deter mined not to be a candidate himself. It Is one- of the President's characteris tics to stick to his friends. Of course, he would put his friend Taft in a' very un pleasant position if he should allow Mr. Taft to be a formal candidate for the Presidency and then accept it himself. "Whatever else may be charged against Roosevelt, that kind of work never has been, even by his bitterest opponents," said the gentleman interviewed. "Up to the time the Ohio state committee acted by- formal resolution, Roosevelt could have indicated to Taft that he had better wait; but t' happen to know that the President has-urged and approved of the course taken in Ohio." It is no secret that Mr. Roosevelt re gards Mr. Taft ' as the most available and, in some respects, the most capable man to follow him in the White House. Undoubtedly he would like to' see Mr. Taft elected. Hanley for State Rights. ELKHART, Ind Aug. 1.

After referring to problems resulting from trade combina tions and the accumulation of large for tune Governor Hanley said: ' '"In matters of such moment we can not afford to thoughtlessly follow Impul sive leadership, however high its char acter or pure Its purpose. ' "President Roosevelt has earned the confidence and the gratitude of his coun trymen by courageous , work and signul service,- and I do not speak In unkindly criticism,' for I believe in the purity of his purposes and in his greatness.

Wis., Aug. l.-Con-gressman Jenkins, chairman of the House Judiciary committee, last night Issued a statement relative to the North Carolina Railroad rate tangle. He says there has never been any event since the Civil War that calls for so severe condemnation as the recent senseless tirade on behalf of states against the Nation. He adds that it is humiliating that the matter has been compromised and that the Nation has to some extent surrendered. , "The Civil War was the result of such agitation and We may ' have earlier than we want another civil war." he said. "To avert such a calamity and to preserve trie Nation, we must conform' to, the law, obey, the law and have the law enforced according to the framework provided in the Constitution." , Judge JenklnB points out that the Su preme Court of the United States is made the final judge between state and Nation. Mr. Jenkins believes the executive of the state should keep cool, maintain his dig nity and remember we have to depend upon the Judiciary of the country to save the Union. ."Ever - since the Civil War." he said, "other states have had similar troubles (Concluded on Page 7.)

Hoping to Induce the -American government to intervene arid "prevent Japan from obtaining further domination In Corea. Prince Tjyong Out Yl and Yi Sang Sui. two of Corea's dele gates to The Hague, who were denied ad mission to the peace tribunal, arrived here today upon the steamer Majestic. "I and my companions," said Prince Tl. who speaks English, "represented the Co rean government by authority of the Em peror, but Japan used all her cunning to show that we appeared at The Hague without any authority.

"We knew before we left Corea that Ja pan would force the Emperor to abdicate. Japan reeks to drive us from our land and destroy our kingdom. Corea has always been a peaceful nation.

OKLAHOMA S HOT CONVENTION Frantz Overcomes Ef fort at Stampede. OPPONENTS START AN UPROAR But Great Demonstration Ends in Nomination. TAFT'S NAME IS CHEERED Republican Convention Refuses to Denounce Democratic Constitu tion Message Sent Roosevelt Indorsing His Policy. GUTHRIE. Okla., Aug. 1. For' Gov ernor, Frank Frantz; Lieutenant-Governor. N. G. Turk. Cheeotah, I. T.; Sec retary of State. Thomas Robnett, Ard more, I. T.; Attorney-General, Silas Reld. El Reno. With the chief places on the state ticket filled, the Republican state con vention took a breathing spell late to night. Not in the history of the party In Oklahoma has there Deen such an ova tion to one man as the one that greeted the announcement that Governor Frantz was renominated head of the ticket with out opposition. The delegates cheered for several minutes and balked the efforts1 of Chairman Murphy to restore order. The action was not unexpected by the feeble opposition and Its resignation seemed to carry the convention off Its feet. There was little division on the other nominal tlons. Denounce New Constitution. The unexpected occurred when the sec tion In the platform denouncing the Dem ocratic constitution was eliminated and the party merely pledged itself to secure amendment to the document. The plat form indorses the National and terri torial administrations and denounces the Democratic party for its failure to "com prehend the needs of the people or to deal with the problems of government." The platform contains an anti-trust plank, favors the removal of restrictions from Indian land and Indorses good roads, but remains silent on the prohibition ques tion. Lusty Cheers for Taft. The first applause elicited in the con vention was for Secretary of War Taft. A large banner bearing the words: "Hear Taft at Oklahoma City August 24" had been stretched , across the stage, and when the delegates spied it they cheered lustily. Congressman McGuire brought the con vention to Its feet by suggesting the fol lowing telegram to President Roosevelt, which was ordered sent to the President: "The Republicans of Oklahoma, in con vention assembled, "send you loyal and af fectionate greetings. Our platform In dorses your administration and your pol icy of a square deal for every man and every nation of every clime." The Frantz forces won the first test of strength when Ralph Campbell was named temporary chairman by acclima tion. Wild Dissension Breaks Out. A clash that was followed by wild dem onstration came when J. S. McGowan, of Snyder, Oklahoma, In a speech at tempted to argue against the naming of a ticket and for me rejection of the con stitution. He had captured the conven tion with his eloquence and finally de clared that the party could not afford to name a ticket under the new constitu tion. The delegates were swept off their feet for a moment, but the friends ' of Governor Frantz, soon realized what they believed was a trap laid to stampede the convention against Frantz. Then dis order ruled the gathering. Delegates hissed and yelled for Mr. McGowan to sit down. The speaker attempted to stick out. but the convention was against him. The chairman tried to quiet the dele gates, but without avail. Delegates rushed to tho platform and threatened, but the speaker held his ground. "I don't know whether Franz would' swear to support that constitution or not," shouted Mr. McGowan. "but we have had Governors who would not do It." Frantz Men Crush Minority. At this point, Frank Rush, of Black burn, carried a Pawnee County Frantz banner to the platform and Jumped to a press table. The delegates wildly ex cited, sprang to their feet shouting for Frantz and a state ticket. Logan County quickly Joined its Frantz banner with Pawnees. Delegates left their seats and Joined In the rush. Policemen went to the stage to prevent trouble, but the af fair was too one-sided for the beaten minority to lift Its hand. D. L. Sleeper, of Tulsa, standing on a table, ultimately succeeded In restoring order. The following additional nominations were made at the night session: For Treasurer, M. S. Stllwell.'of Bar tlesville, I. T.: Corporation Commission ers, T. J. Dore. Westvllle; John Kraf ton, Pottawatomie County, and John Jenson, Tulsa. At 12:30 the convention adjourned until 9 A. M., to complete the nomina tions and wind up its business. 1
