THE MOKSDTU OKEGOXIA5, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2S, 1907. LYNCH NG THE ASSAULTER Northern Indiana Is Aroused Over the Murder of Liz zie Schroeder. . ' BLOODHOUNDS ON TRAIL Murderer Evidently Had Initials on Boots, for Letters "T. M." Are Stamped on Little Girl's Arm. Green Necktie a Clew. CHICAGO, Aug. 27. (Special.) Wanton brutality on the part of the fiend who terribly mutilated and murdered Lizzie Schroeder, aged 7 years, of Gary, Ind., may be the means of bringing him to Justice. In overcoming the child he trampled upon her arm and -today the Initials . M." stand out plainly in the livid flesh. Apparently the murderer had the Initials in douole-headed tacks on the sole of his boots. The same In itials can be traced through the sand for many rods. In the struggle the girl also tore off his green necktie, or he may have snatched It off himself with the inten tion of strangling her. In any event, it is an important clew. The entire Northern part of Indiana is aroused and fully 600 men, with bloodhounds, are en gaged in the search. It Is admitted that if the man Is cap tured by any of the posses not accom panied by two or three officers, the wretch will be speedily lynched. Five men have been arrested, but all but two have proved satisfactory alibis. The others, one of whom is a negro, told conflicting stories and are closely-guarded.

MAGNATE PLAYS LIKE BOY Ilarriman Enjoys Rollicking Good Time at Pelican Bay. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Aug. 27. E. H. Harriman and his party concluded their stay at Pelican Bay Monday, after put ting in several strenuous days hunting for bear. The party had A number of guides and a pack of bear dogs, but no bear were found. Bear are not as plentiful as they were a few years ago, and It is a rare occurrence when one is killed. Mr. Harriman enjoyed the outing and did not mind sleeping out at night in a drenching rain. Mr. Harriman intimated to Colonel W. H. Holabird, his host at the Bay, that this would not be his last visit to this section, and from reports surmised that air. iiarriman contemplates the pur chase of the Pelican Bay propertv. Mr. Harriman was secluded from the world while in Klamath. A temporary leiegrapn line connected him with the great industrial world from which he was hiding. those who saw him eniovlnsr . camp life say he acted like a boy released from a schoolroom after a hard siege, and if It had not been for the gray hairs that adorn his head one would have been un- able to distinguish as to who was the greatest boy the railroad magnate or his young sons, who accompanied him on his bear hunt. MOLD 'IN OREGON HOPS Alarming Reports Received at Sa . lem Slany Fields Abandoned. SALEM. Or., Aug. 27. (Special.) Reports are p.ouring in from all quar ters that mold is spreading rapidly through the hopyards of the Valley, and in fact the entire state, to the ex tent that scores of yards will be aban doned altogether and not a single burr gathered for commercial purposes. This "new and unexpected dilemma threatens to reduce the possible crop of the State of Oregon at least one-half from pre vious estimates. T.hls condition, coming on top of the threatened scarcity of pickers. low ' market and difficulty to secure picking ' money, increases the burden of the hopgrower, and local dealers are in clined to view the situation with ap prehension. One dealer received a re- port from Woodburn tonight stating that many of the yards are turning black with mould, estimating that half 1 of the hops of that district will never be picked. It Is also reported here that the growera of the vicinity of Butteville. In the northern part of the county, held a meeting, at which it was decided that no hops would be picked at all in view of present market conditions. This report, however, lacks confirma tion. ' I 1 Eighty acres of the Kreb Bros.' Brooks yard, operated by the China man, George Sun, went down as a re sult of the recent storm and. although a force was put to work yesterday to raise them, some doubt is expressed as to the success of this action. There is no sign of an easing up upon the money question, and many of the growers will be unable to secure picking money at all. At least one firm of dealers is offering to take contracts with a guarantee of 7 cents, which' will give the grower a 1-cent margin of profit over the cost of picking, but he stands to lose 2 cents in any event on the cost of cultivation. There Is a disposition on the part of all grow ers to strive for a fancy quality of product, and no moldy hops will be picked. I TROLLEY TRACK IS PLACED Eugene People Will Soon Be Riding on Their Own Streetcars. EUGENE, Or.. Aug. 27. (Special.)

Money, Flings Away Jewelry, Then Shoots Him self in a Public Park. WEBSTER CITT. Iowa. Aug. 27. (Spe cial.) In sight of an astonished crowd, Carl Pressley, an actor, today made a bonfire In the street of $2500 in paper money, threw his diamond rings and stud In the sewer and then announced to a group of his friends in the Park Hotel lobby that he was going to kill himself.

Pressley. who was well known through out this and neighboring states, had been drinking heavily for two weeks.' PRITCHARD CLAIMS POWER Insists Federal Courts May Suspend Laws of States. ASHEVILLE, N. C. Aug. 27. The decision of Federal Judge Pritchard In the rate case of the Southern Rail way against the State Corporation Commissioners and the Attorney-General of North Carolina, announced to day, upholds the Jurisdiction of Prltch ard's court in the issuance of the re- cent injunctions against the state's of ficials during the railroad rate contro versy, and declares the suit Is not one against the state within the meaning of the 11th amendment to the Federal Constitution. That amendment prohibits Federal Judicial power from extending to suits brought against a state by citizens of another state. Pritchard holds that the high state Legislature cannot so frame an enactment as to deprive any citizen of the right vouchsafed him by the Federal Constitution, and that the sooner those questions are definitely determined the better for all concerned. The decision says: "It Is Inconceivable that the United States Circuit Court should be power less to afford a remedy to one who seeks to assert the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Those who are responsible for the adoption of the 11th amendment never dreamed It could be used as a means of depriving a citizen of the substantial rights conferred by the Federal Government Constitution." The Court holds that the State Cor poration Commissioners are still charged with the duty of making rates, the only limitation being they shall not make a rate in excess of 2V4 cents a mile.

A hit 5T Th T-lt,l States delegation announces its willing ness for all countries on the American continent, including the United States, to have four liul&rps of thA new tntArnorinnDi court appointed for the 21 countries of mis continent, on tne understanding that this reduces the number of Judges to 15.

Ruy Barboso. of Brazil, made a long speech in which he protested against the appointment of judges as pro jected in the American proposition. He insisted that this question must be settled in a manner wnlch fully recog nized the equality of the powers. The meeting was then adjourned until September 2.

ANCHOR CHAINS ARE SHORT Few Battleships Can Go There Be cause Impossible to Anchor. Evans and Navy Department Are Preparing Plans. WASHINGTON-, Aug. 27. Details of the movement of the great battleship fleet around the South American conti nent are being systematically developed aboard Admiral Evans' i.agshlp, tne Con necticut, and at the avy Department, where, by the Presidents orders, the various bureaus are now authorized to execute plans for the fleers movement. It Is settled that the battleships, or at least a number of them, will go to Puget Sound, the number to be determined by the capacity of the Sound to accommo date them. The battleships carry only 120 fathoms of anchor chain, and most of the water there Is more than 60 fath oms deep, so as safe practice requires that the chains be not less than . three times the depth of the water, only a fw vessels can be accommodated near Brem erton at once. t At the southern drill grounds. 40 miles off the Chesapeake, Admiral Evans and the fleet which sailed from Hampton Roads yesterday will remain two weeks, practicing fleet and squadron formations, following which will be the regular Pall target practice, occupying possibly a month. Why Magellan Way Chosen. NEW YORK. Aug. 27. Congressman Roberts, of Massachusetts, who, with other members of the naval committee. Is investigating the needs of the Brooklyn Navy-Yard, said that the trip of the bat tleships via Magellan is for tactical rea sons alone. Said he: "We all believe the Suez route Is eas ier and cheaper, but their going by a hard route will determine some of our needs in the Paciflc, particularly in the matter of coaling stations and the main land. I have not the slightest doubt that a million dollars will be used up In the Paciflc route, but if the naval tacticians wish to determine' certain things, now is the time." Representative Foss, chairman of the committee, said the committee would probably ask Congress to authorize four more battleships, and added: "We may as well make up our minds now that it is necessary to maintain a large fleet in the Pacific. Our interests are too great on that coast to do otherwise." HARD LUCK FOR GYPSIES Caught Stealing Horses, Horse whipped ' and Thrown In Jail. CHICAGO. Aug. 27. (Special.)
