BEATING LEADS TO DEATH
J. L. Kuht Thought to Have Been
Hilled by Xcgro.
J. I. RuhT. proprietor of tlie lodging
house at 122 North Seventh street, died
yesterday at St. Vincent's Hospital and
from the facts which have been broug-ht
to light the police believe he was killed
by Claude- Edmonds, a negro, who was
formerly employed at the saloon of Allen
& Walker on Sixth street. Many con
flicting stories have been told as to the
cause of the trouble between Ruhl. who is
a white man. and Edmonds, but there is
evidence that they quarreled over a nefro
oman named Adlne. Edmonds is miss
ing and the police are now doing their
best to find him.
Ruhl's death was reported to Coroner
Finley yesterday iby Dr. Merriman, who
stated that death had resulted from the
beating Ruhl had received over the head.
Investigation by the Coroner was Imme
diately instituted and facts were learned
to warrant an inquest which will be held
today.
Ruhl was injured on the night of De
cember 30. Thomas J. Green, a negro
lodger In Ruhl's house was awakened by
knocks at his door and found that Ruhl
had 'been badly beaten. Ruhl declared
that Edmunds had struck him with a gun.
A doctor was sent for and Ruhi was sent
to the hospital.
The matter was reported to the police
on the night it occurred and Detectives
Kay and Kienlen were sent out to inves
tigate the case.
SEEDS FROM PALESTINE
Portland .Man Grows Cedar Trees
Like Those of Holy Land.
H. C. Campbell, of the Pacific Bridge
Company, Is the owner of 12 baby cedar
trees that were grown from seed that
was sent to Mr. Campbell by J. Hishmet,
superintendent of the Friends' School at
Ramallah, Palestine, about six miles
from Jerusalem.
While on a tour of the Holy Land a
year or two ago. Mr. Campbell visited the
Friends' School at Ramallah, and was
much impressed with the beauty of a
cedar grove surrounding the building.
He learned that tue trees were planted
at the time of the founding of the school,
some 30 years ago.
Last Fall Mr. Campbell received a
package, of seeds taken from these trees
by Mr. Hishmet. ' They were immediately
planted and the plants are now about six
inches high.
The trees at the Friends' School, Mr.
Campbell says, were the most beautiful
evergreens he has ever seen, the foliage
being unusuaily heavy and of a brilliant
green color, unlike any of the evergreen
trees of this country.

A. H. .Cross, of Cleveland, O., one of
the Sunday school field secretaries of the
East, who since a break in health has
been spending several months on the
Coast has just received word of the death
of his mother,, which occurred' at
Vandalia, Mich., on New Tear's day.
Relatives knowing that the state of his
health made it necessary to remain this
Winter in a milder climate, and that he
would not for this reason be able to go
on for the funeral, did not telepraph the
news of his mother's death, so that by
the time the letter arrived, the obsequies
already had been held. Mr. Cross' grief
is enhanced because he was prevented
from being present at the funeral.
