PLANS NOVEL EXPERIMENT
I'aciric & Kastern Railway Will V'se
Auto for Passengers.
An-automobile equipped as a gaso
line motor car for railway use is the
Intent device for trial In the inter
urban service In Oregon. A car of this
kind has been fitted up .in Portland
and will soon be shipped to Southern
Oregon, where It will be operated be
tween Medford and Kas'e Point on the
Taclflo & Kastern Railway. The car
will be given a trial In Portland. It
Is expected that it will afford a con
venient and satisfactory passenger
servlra between the-two Southern Ore
gon towns.
The rebuilt automobile Is now stored
at a Portland garage. It was original
ly a 46-horsepower touring car. The
tonnesu has been remodeled so that
the seats run lengthwise of the ma
chine and will accommodate 15 pas
sengers. The wheels have been .adapt
ed to travel on rails and the rebuilt
automobile is now a first-class four

SAMUELSON'S BODY FOUND
Missing Man Hangs Himself, bear
ing Letter to His' Wife.
Alfred Samuelson,. for whom his family
and the police have been searching slncer
tha night of January 4, was found dead.
FOrVD DEAD AT END OF A ROPE
j r., jffk ;
j
Alfred Samuelson.
.... ...........
a suicide, yesterday -afternoon In the
outlying yards of the Portland Lumber
Company, where, up ' to the time of his
death, he had been employed as a planer.
Samuelson had hanged himself ,by a
crudely Improvised scaffold.
Unable to withstand life's battles and
demented by his financial troubles, his
pitiful state of mind is reflected In a
letter of farewell which he left for his
wife. It was found In his pocket and
was written In Swedish. It says:
My Beloved Wife Forgive me for what
I am going to do. I can't live any longer.
My head Is. all-out of shape. I can't work
any longer. I know that you can get. along
all right. - Try and raise the children up
right, and as( good as you can. I . have
prayed to God both night and day that
he may forgive my ains. I cannot write any
more. Good-by, my wife and all. Alfred
Samuelson.
His heck had been partially broken and
the death which he had 'sought must
have been almost instantaneous, as evi
dences of prolonged strangulation were
absent. '
At the Samuelson home, 671 Macadam
street, the news of the finding of the
missing man brought despair to a wife
and two small children, who have been
left without money and who are now
thrown on their own resources and the
aid of one family of relatives in this city
for life's necessities.
BUILD CONCRETE BRIDGE
Kxecutive Board Decides on Plan
for Sullivans Gulch.
A reinforced concrete "girder" bridge
is to be constructed across Sullivans
Gulch on East Twenty-eight street at
a cost of 7 7.000 and, in all probability,
will be built .by Backus, Giebisch &
Joplin. It is the Intention of the mem
bers of the executive board to award
the contract to this firm, .judging from
the action taken at the session Of the
body yesterday afternoon.. It would
have been let at the time, but the
specifications were Incomplete.
A large, delegation from, the corn
munlty. Interested in the construction
of the bridge was present yesterday
afternoon to urge that steps- be taken
to build it at once, but the action of
the executive board made dlsoussion
unnecessary. A special meeting of the
body will be called early next week to
let the contract, and as the firm named
put in a 'ld J17.000 lower than- any
other, it Is regarded as certain the
award will be given It. This Is taking
for granted that the specifications com
ply with the requirements.
Had It not been for the opposition
of certain members of the executive
board, the contract would have been
let yesterday afternoon. . L. T. Peery,
a member of the body, moved that the
contract be let, subject to the com
pletlon of the specifications, and that
the City Engineer be left as the judge
in the final acceptance. Mr. Taylor,
the engineer, declined to accept this
responsibility, however, and was UD
held by Mayor Lane, who made a
speech, in which he. said It would be
unwise to let a contract where the
specifications are Indefinite, and cited
an Instance where the same bidders
secured an indefinite contract from the
city and sent In "extras" to the sum
of $1200. The city has refused to pay
the bill, and, the Mayor said, the mat
tcr will be fought out In the courts.
After considerable discussion among
the members, the board finally decided
to refer the coatra'ct to the committee
on bridges, and when the contract is
ready a special meeting Is to be
called.
UNDER NEW FEDERAL LAW
Officials of Seattle District Examin
ing Records In Portland for Pur
pose of Detecting Irregular Ap-.
plications for Citiienship.
Herbert TV: Mevers and Edwin Ash-
baugh. naturalization examiners of the
territory known as the Seattle district,
comprising the states of Oregon, Wash
ington, Montana and Wyoming, are in
Portland on their first tour of inspec
tion since the new law went into ef
fect. They are to be guests of the
Portland Hotel during their sojourn
in this city, which will be of about ten
days' duration.
Beginning on July 1, 190, the new
naturalization regulations went into
effect, changing In several particulars
the operation of the former laws. Prior
to that date an applicant for cltizen-
ehtp might secure his final papers from
a United States or county judge upon
complying with a Jew simple require
ments, most of which rested on
affidavits of the applicant and his wit
nesses. Advocates of . the amended
regulations alleged that abuses were
frequent that allowed foreign-born
residents of the United- States to ob
tain their citizenship papers before
having lived in the country the re
quired length of time. To put a stop
to this fraud on the Judges, naturaliza
tion examiners were .provided for In
the new regulations, whose duties in
clude the Investigation of applicants
for final papers after the Judge hear
ing the case has eatisfied himself of
the regularity of proceedings up to
that point, necessarily accepting as
true the affidavits accompanying the
application.
Ninety days from the date- the judge
makes his decision the examiners are
required to report back the result of
their investigations, and if the case is
found to be- worthy, the judge Issues
papers entitling the applicant to
citizenship; if any fraud or error is
found In the proceedings from the
time the applicant files his first, until
he .files his final papers, or If fraud or
error is discovered in the statement
originally made, the .judge Is so In
formed and. final, papers are denied.
As a precaution against bias, the ex
aminers are chosen from one section
of the country to serve in another sec
tion. In the Seattle district there are
four examiners who were appointed
from Eastern states- Mr. Meyers was
appointed from Maryland, and Mr. Ash
baugh from Minnesota. Mr. Meyers
was formerly an examiner In the pen
sion, service, with duties of a similar
Character to those required In his pres
ent position. .
The examiners ha-ve been engaged
for -the past two days reviewing the
records of the Federal courts and
County Clerk's office, and will proceed
to look Into individual cases in Mult
nomah County during the next week
or ten days. As the records and In
dividual cases in each county in the
district must be Included in their In
vestigations, the time of the four men
comprising- the force in the Seattle dis
trict will be fully taken up. The other
Const district is that of Son Francisco,
which is composed of California, Ne
vada and Arizona, and the only other
district west of Chicago is that of
Denver:
T.E. Jones, the "Human
Ant'Ms Here
Intrepid Seattle Sportsman Who
Can Pack full Camp Outfit on
His Back, Visits Portland.
ONE of the men instrumental in the
building of dockage and other riling
work in Seattle, T. E. Jones, is at the
Portland. Mr. Jones Is a well-known
sportsman and Is said to delight in start
ing out with a party of friends on tramp
ing expeditions into the wilds of the sur
rounding country of the Sound, Intent on
slaying wild beasts or hooking trout,
salmon or other denizens of the rivers,
lakes and Inlets abounding in that unex
plored country. 1
.He scorns methods usual to weaklings
In hauling supplies and customary, para
phernalia of the chase. He makes up a
padk consisting of tent, stove, guns and
ammunition, blankets, rubber suits, two
weeks' ' provisions, canoe, ax, hunting
knives, thread and needles, kettles and
pans, fishing tackle, court plaster, medi
cine chest, fish baskets, game bags, a
few changes of clothing and other such
articles of necessity and comfort, straps
It on his good, strong back, and leads the
procession Into the forests.
He Is said to be the despair of his com
panions, fop they toil and complain under
the burden of packs about one-third the
size of Mr. Jones', and drop by the way
tired and nearly exhausted as he marches
along ahead as If he had nothing heavier
on his shoulders than his suspenders.
So well known Is this exhibition of
strength and endurance, where the
doughty Jones walks off with apparent
ease -under a burden that would break the
back of an ordinary man, that his friends
have d-ubbed him the human ant. in rec
ognition of the little Insect that Solomon
admired and which is credited by nat
uralists with being able to walk off with
a burden ten times its size. . And Mr.
Jones Is not a youngster, either.

F. H. Haxard Asks $llfl for Making
Beach Sand Investigations.
The question of the value of black
sand was again brought up yesterday,
when the suit of F. H. Hazard against
Fannie Montgomery was begun In the

Montgomery, It Is alleged, brought sam
ples of the black sand from her place to
be assayed by the Government experts

day and expenses if he would make a
preliminary investigation at her plade: If

Board Car at End of Russel-Shaver
Iine and Cover Crew With
Revolver.
'Masked highwaymen held up car No.
177 of the Russell-Shaver line last night
at 9 o'clock and at the muzzle of a re
volver robbed the conductor. Tbe robbery
was committed at the end of the line, at
the foot of Capitol avenue. The car was
In charge of Conductor H. McCloekey and
Motorman B. J. Moore. They had arrived
at the end of the' line and there were no
passengers In the car at the time. Await
ing their scheduled time of departure, the
two men were seated inside the car. .
Conductor McCloekey- had ' Just looked
at his watch and remarked that It was
time to start, when two men appeared on
the rear platform. They wore " pink
masks which covered their features. One
of them opened the door and, presenting
bis revolver, said: -
"Throw' up your hands, boys, and quick
too. We don't want any monkey busi
ness about this."
The conductor and the motorman looked
into the barrel of the revolver in the
robbers hand and put up their hands-.
One of the men stepped forward and
rifled the conductor's pockets. The other
stood guard outside. The robber worked
hurriedly, and, after getting all the
money in the conductor's pockets, tried
to get the money out of the metal chang
er which the conductor wore strapped
around - his waist. He .found that he
could get only one coin at a time and
gave up the job, leaving the money in
the changer undisturbed.
After bis failure to get the money out
of the changer, the man retreated to the
door of the car and he and his compan
ion Jumped from the platform and ran
away. After the departure of the robbers
the streetcar men went outside to see If
they could discover the direction they
had taken, but the night was so dark
they could sea nothing. As soon as they
could they reported the matter to the
railway company, and to. the police. - The
conductor does not .bow the exact
amount of money he had In hie pockets,
but believes that it was not over S3.
Both he and the motorman had watches
and the motorman had some money in
bis pocket, but the robber took only the
conductor's money.
