HJULBOAD YIELDS
TO MM L
Governor Comer's Victory
Over Southern Road in
Rate Conflict.
NEW RATES WILL PREVAIL
Struggle for State Rights Ends as
Regards One Road, Which Sub
mits and Will Withdraw
Flea for Injunction.
MONTGOMERY. Ala., Aug. 8. Gov
ernor Comer and the officials of the
Southern Railroad reached an agree--ment
late this afternoon and the li
cense of the railroad in Alabama will
be reinstated. Beginning; September
1. 1907, the railroad and allied lines
will put into effect the 2V4-cent passenger-fare
act, and the measure re
ducing the freight rates on 110 com
modities commonly shipped in Ala
bama. The agreement was not reached
without concessions being made by
both sides, but in the main it is a vic
tory for the state. The laws in ques
tion will not be put into effect per
manently. The agreement epeciflcally
declares that their operation beginning
September 1, is only subject to the
final determination as to their consti
tutionality and their responsibility
when a decision on these questions is
finally rendered by the court of last
resort. Meanwhile the other laws en
acted by the Legislature affecting the
traffic of the state will remain in
force.
The railroad's representatives agreed
that they would appear before Judge
JonM and ask him for an order modi
fying the restraining orders Issued by
the United States Court two months
ago, to permit of the immediate oper
ation, subject to the final decision of
the courts of the two acts in ques
tion. In consi deration of the agreement
by the raihroad representatives to per
mit of the operation of these two laws,
the one alleging the passenger traffic
and the otlvftr freight. It was agreed
by the Governor that the revocation
of the license of the Southern in Ala
bama ehould bo cancelled and the com
pany permtit4l to do business without
hindrance by the state.
The comprarbJse affects only the one
railroad system, the Southern. The
other railroadis of the state were not
parties to the jcionference.
Secretary oft State Julian tonight
cancelled his oriler revoking the license
of the Southern: Railway.

Madame Levin Known in Sweden.
STOCKHOLM. Aug. 8 M. tdame
Emma Levin. whose dismembered
body was found at Marseilles two -days
ago In the baggage of Mr. and Mrs.
Gold, was a familiar figure In so Slety
here. Her husband, who was a tUom
lnent merchant, died In 190o.
MURDERS HIS WIFE
(Continued from First Page.)
right hand and Mrs. Llebe stretched out
near him. Both were breathing their
last and before a physician could be sum
moned were dead.
Police Call in Ooroner.
The police were notified, and Captain
Slover sent Sergeant Cole, Jailer Bndl
cott. Detective Price and Policeman
Graves to the scene. Upon their arrival,
the police officers notified Coroner Finley,
who took charge of the bodies. '
"I heard three shots and was looking
out my window when I heard Mrs. Stur
tevant call for help," said Levi Young,
last night. "I immediately rushed over to
the house. When we entered the parlor,
we found the man and his wife gasping
their last breath. They died before a
doctor could be called."
"I feared there would be just such a
tragedy," said Mrs. Sturtevant. "They
never seemed to get along at all together,
although I do not know what their
troubles were. This seemed imminent for
several days. I . knew that something
dreadful would happen. When they met
here tonight, I thought I had never seen
such a peculiar expression in Mr. Llebe' s
face before, and I had a feeling that he
meant to do just what he did.
Both Seem Embarrassed.
He came in just before Mrs. Liebe
reached the houso and sat down in the
dining-room, whore we were at dinner.
Presently she entered, and both seemed
embarrassed, and did not talk of any
trouble, 1n fact they said but very
little, untfl she said, 'Oh, you
wanted to see me, did you?' Then they
went out, he leading the way.
"It was but a moment, it seems, after
they entered the parlor until she
screamed to me to come and help her. I
rushed to the door and heard the three
shots. Then we entered the room and
found them almost dead."
Examination of the bodies by Cor
oner Finley showed that itebe used a
SB-caliber revolver and fired four shots.
He had tried to discharge the fifth
cartridge, but It had failed to explode.
Two of the bullets went wild and two
took effect, one in Mrs. Llebe's left
breast. the other In Liebe's head. This
ball entered the mouth and came out
at the top of the head, making a gap
ing wound from which the blood
flowed freely. The floor was covered
with blood and the room presented a
ghastly sight.
Mrs. Llebe's wound bled very little
externally. Her waist was powder
burned, and from her position and the
fact that an arm was broken from the
rocking-chair near where she lay. It
is thought that she was seated when
she was shot and that she fell, break
ing off the arm of the chair as she
went to tho floor. That her husband
saw her fall and feeling confident that
she was mortally wounded, turned his
revolver upon himself, is the theory
of the police and the Coroner.
- Mrs. Liebe was a handsome woman,
tali, erect of figure and graceful and
dignified of bearing. At the time of
her death she was attired in a fashion
able black suit. She wore several dia
mond rings and In her hair was a comb
set with gems. ' Llebe wore a neat,
blue-checked suit, evidently just from
the tailor's. An "Elks' charm glittered
on his breast as he lay dead In the
fatal , room. He was a member of the
Elks' Lodge at The Dalles.
Began Life Auspiciously. -
From all that could be learned here
laet night, Mr. and Mrs. Liebe began
their married life under most auspi
cious circumstances. They went to
The Dalles to live, and he continued
in the jewelry business there until
last November, when he sold hia store.
He had been drinking heavily,, it is
said, and did not get along well with
his wife, who finally left him and came
to Portland.
Coroner Finley learned last night
that Mrs. Llebe had made an agree
ment with her husband that if he
would quit drinking and live a re
spectable life for a year, ehe would
return to him. It was supposed by
Llebe's friends that he would endeavor
to do this, but apparently he could not
carry out his part of the agreement,
and desired his wife to resume her
former relations with him, notwith
standing that fact. This she refused
to do, evidently driving him to des
peration. The couple rented the house
in which the tragedy occurred on com
ing to Portland, but subsequently It
was rented from them by the Sturte
vants. Leave Son 3 Years Old.
Mrs. Liebe returned only Wednesday
afternoon from Mosier, Oregon, where
she visited friends. She also visited
White Salmon, Wash., where her moth
er Is living, having the care of Harold,
the 3-year-old son of the Liebes. Mrs.
Llebe had Just secured work In the
Lowengart's millinery establishment.
After coming to Portland, Liebe en
gaged in the real estate business, be
ing associated with W. T. Markllle, in
the Swetland building.
Mrs. Llebe was 26 years of age. Her
husband was 35.- They were a fine-
appearing couple, and made many
friends in The Dalles and in this city.
The history of the Liebe family is
fraught with tragedy, the murder uiil
suicide of last night being the latest
in a startling series of suicides, mur
ders and attempted murder.
Last of Many Tragedies.
Theodore Liebe, an uncle of Harry
Liebe, was shot in the head twice by one
of his nephews on West Park street, be
tween Davis and Everett streets, (n the
Winter of 1S93. The nephew then turned
the gun on himself and died by his own
hand. The trouble arose over the em
ployment of the nephew in a bakery on
Glisan street belonging to Theodore
Liebe. The nephew was discharged and
sought to regain his position. It was
refused him and he shot the old man for
revenge.
Liebes' uncle, Alfred Liebe, shot and
killed himself in The Dalles several years
ago, and two years ago Alfred Liebe,
Harry Llebe's brother, shot and killed
himself in San Francisco.
Both Parents Are Living.
Besides his father and mother. Harry
Liebe leaves a brother. Theodore, and
two sisters, Mrs. George Campbell, of
Spokane, and Miss Calesta Llebe, of The
Dalles.
Charles Pittman, father of Mrs. Liebe,'
also met a violent death, having been
drowned in the Willamette River In this
city about two years ago.
SOX OF
FORMER JUDGE
Harry Llebe's Father Prominent In
The Dalles.
THE DALLES, Or., Aug. 8. (Special.)
Harry Llebe was the son of one of the
most prominent pioneer families in this
section of the country. His father,
George Liebe, has been Mayor of The
Dalles and County Judge of Wasco Coun
ty. He has now retired from business
and is one of the most highly respected
residents of the city.
Harry C. Liebe bad lived here all his
life until a short time ago, when he left
for Portland, having sold out his jewelry
business which he bad conducted for a
number of years. With his wife, he
made preparations to move to and his
wife preceded him to Portland. After
disposing of his business, he followed her.
There is a suicidal mania in the Llebe
family, Harry Liebe's uncle, Alfred", hav
ing shot himself in this city a number of
years ago, and a brother, also named
Alfred, killed himself in San Francisco
two years ago.

MORE ROADS IN DANGER
Chance of Escaping Payment of Fine
Is on Appeal to Grosscup Three
, Railroads to Be Indicted
for Rebating.
CHICAGO, Aug. 8. (Special.) The
largest bond ever demanded in the his
tory of criminal jurisprudence will be
asked of the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana tomorrow. It is probable Dis
trict Attorney Sims, who has been
summoned to return from Michigan,
will ask Judge Grosscup to fix the
bond at $58,600,000. Attorneys repre
senting the Stanard Oil Company, how
ever, are prepared to contest the Gov
ernment's plea for a heavy bond.
At the same time, the oil company's
counsel will renew their plea for a
writ of error and a writ of superse
deas, in which they had planned a coup
on the Government today, but were
frustrated by Assistant District Attor
ney Parkin. Should a writ of error be
granted tomorrow, and a writ of su
persedeas be issued by Judge Grosscup
in the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals( the Standard Oil suit, for the
present at least, will pass beyond the
jurisdiction of Judge Landls and into
the upper court, which has it within
its power to set aside judgment on
the $29,240,000 fine.
