GOVERNOR AFTER
VANDUSEN'SHEAD
Rumored It Is Shortly to Fall
Because of Bias of Mas
ter Fish Warden.
FAVORS THE LOWER RIVER
Vpcr JUver Interests Think They
Are Neglected Governor Favors
V. P. Andru.s J. V. Campbell
Also Spoken Of for Place.
SALEM.' Or., Feb. 4. (Special.) Gov
ernor Chamberlain is after the official
scalp of Majter Fish Warden H. G. Van
DiiBcn, and because of that fact a lively
mrutlng of the Iish Commission was
scheduled for today.
But Air. Van Dusen, who Is secretary
of the Commission, sent word that his
monthly report for February Is not ready,
and therefore he would not come to at
tend the regular monthly meeting. The
board will meet some day next week.
While Governor Chamberlain declines to
discuss the matter, it is known that in
the past few months he has talked the
subject over with many men who are in
terested in the perpetuation of the lish in
dustry. From his talk with various per
sons it Is learned that he considers Van
Dusen an improper man for the ofllco for
a number of reasons.
One of them is that Van Dusen Is a
"lower river" man, and particularly in
sympathy with the interests of lower
river fishermen and cannery men, where
these interests conflict with the needs
and desires of the upper river fishermen
and canners. .
Upper river peopla have long been dis
Ratlstled with Van Dusen. The Governor
takes the view that the Master Fish War
den should be a man who can and will
take an impartial view of fishing in
terests as between rival localities.
Then, too, Governor Chamberlain
thinks that Van Dusen does not realize
the Importance of the- closed seasons
a a means of protecting salmon from
extermination, and that he is not ag
gressive enough in enforcing the laws.
In discussing the subject with several
residents of this state, Governor Cham
berlain says the Commission cannot
give personal and exhaustive attention
to the fishing Industry, but must rely
upon the informaticfh and adrvice re
reived from the Master Fish Warden.
For that reason he wants a man In the
office who has no prejudices, .so that
the Commission will not feel obliged
to make allowances for bias when con
sidering his recommendations.
It is understood that Governor Cham
berlain looks with favor upon the -candidacy
of W. P. Andrus, of Portland, as
Van Duwen's successor. State Treasur
er St,cl is said to favor J. U. Campbell,
of Oregon City. Secretary Benson Is
Inclined to retain Mr. Van Duen. The
question has not been discussed at a
Board meeting, but If prevailing ru-:
mors are well founded, it will be the
live topic at the meeting next week.

was that Bridgham walked to his
home from Napavine, arriving there
about 8 P. M. He had the appearance
of a man who had been drinking and
ssked his wife to leave their baby and
talk to lilm. After rocking the child
to sleep, she went Into another room

husband, soon railing Phalon to help
her. Mrs. Bridgham started to run

PROBING CAPITOL STEAL
Sanderson's Methods Shown in
Measuring Furniture.
HARRISBURG, Feb. 4. In the Capitol
conspiracy case today, in order to fur
ther illustrate that in paying for the Cap
itol furniture the state was made to pay
for air space, new exhibits of furniture
and photographs of the rostrums in the
Senate and House caucus rooms was of
fered in evidence by the commonwealth.
J. H. Sanderson collected 100,748 and paid
the sub-contractor who made them J2O60.
Fred H. Potter, of the Audit Company
of New York, was called to identify from
his Inventory of furnishings the furniture
in the House of Representatives. The
testimony developed that in the general
crowding of the Capitol with surplus fur
niture no system was observed, no record
was kept and as a resnlt some of the
sofas cannot be found. Potter' produced
an inventory of all the furniture in the
Capitol and testified that the measure
ments were false. The Speaker's chair
from the House was exhibited.
When It was announced that the chair
had been billed at 59 feet at 112.90 per
foot, totalling J731, spectators gave a pro
longed whistle of amazement. The chair
measured 37. Inches front, 29 Inches deep
and 92 Inches high. Mr. Potter said the
only possible way of getting the number
of feet charged for by Sanderson for the
chair was by computing the contents of
a box that would cover it.

VANCOUVER. B.' C. Feb. 4. (Special.)
Two school boys, living near Dumably
Lake, east of Vancouver, had a narrow
escape on Sunday afternoon from being

wards on to the body of a large bear.
The animal, with .an infuriated growl,
leaped at the boy. Nansen sprang for
ward at the same moment and he and the
.boy and the bear rolled over In a heap.
Nansen ran his hand so far Into the
bear's month that he grasped the animal's
tongue at Its base. With the other hand,
the strong Norwegian grasped the bear
by the throat. Animal and man wrestled
for many minutes. Nansen's hand was
fearfully lacerated by the . bear's - teeth,
but he held on and rolled over and over
on the ground. The other boy ran up
and tried to stab the animal with a large
knife he carried. He inflicted two
wounds but did no great damage.' Finally
the bear being weakened somewhat by
loss of blood freed itself from the wound
ed man and rah a,way.

TELLS STORY OF
BLOODY
CRIMES
Joe Anderson Confides to Cell
mate That He Killed Lo
gan and Nevins.
HOLD-UPS ALSO ADMITTED
Finding or Revolver Where Ander
son Said He Had Hidden It
Gives Earmarks of Truth
, to Jacob Hilt's Story.
Joe Anderson, -Seld by the authorities, as
a murderer and thug, has taken his for
mer cellmate, Jacdb Hilt, into his confi
dence. He has told Hilt how he mur
dered two men and robbed half a dozen
more in Portland. - Hilt, for his part, has
taken the county authorities into his con
fidence and has .repeated a story which
brands Anderson as one of the most dan
gerous rascals that ever practiced murder
and robbery as a business. Hilt's unusual
story has been fully verified.
Anderson, who is held for trial on a
charge of murdering Harry Logan, an
engineer, on the Fourth street bridge sev
eral months ago. did not confess to Hilt
for the mere purpose of lightening his
burden of guilt. His motive was to in
terest Hilt in his affairs, to gain Hilt's
sympathy anfl to Induce HJIt to murder
all the witnesses against Anderson. In
return he was to murder any, of HilUs
enemies that should be named.
Offers to Kill Jackson.
Anderson misjudged his man when he
chose Hilt. He had heard this fellow
prisoner tell of a deep hatred of Super
intendent Jackson, of the poorfarm. Ob
viously, h thought that by offering to
kill Jackson he could win Hilt's interest.
"The minute I get out of here I will
go to, the poorfarm and blow Jackson's
head off with a shotgun," -is the" offer
Hilt attributes to Anderson. "Any other
U men you want killed, all. you got to do
is name them and I'll do tnV job. You
kill a couple of men and a woman for
me and I'll do whatever you say," Ander
son said.
Hilt was waiting trial for assault at the
time. He was arrested for fighting with
another inmate of the County Hospital.
Assigned to a cell connecting with An
derson's he became friendly with the ac
cused murderer. After several weeks the
confession followed. Hilt says Anderson
would tell him something new every day
about one or other of his crimes In Port
land. '
"But why did you want to kill that
man Logan?" is the question Hilt says
he asked Anderson.
Authorities Believe Story. .
"Well, what are you going to do
when you are out of money and you
hold a man up and he knocks you
down? You've got to get him or he'll
get you," was the reply Hilt attributes
to Anderson.
Any doubt the authorities may have
had regarding Hilt's veracity was re
moved when Anderson's revolver and
belt were found at exactly the point
described by Hilt. Anderson told Hilt
the location of this weapon In order
that he might get it to use'in killing
the witnesses in the forthcoming mur
der trial.
According td Hilt, Anderson not only
confessed the murder of Logan, but
admitted taking part In the killing of
Motorman Nevins, on the Rose City
Park line: the robbing of three milk
men within 20 minutes on the Sfavin
road; the robbery of a milfcman in
Albina, and several other minor hold
ups on the streets.
The men that Anderson wanted killed
are Roy Embree and Peter Maher, as
well as a woman whose name is with
held. These three witnesses were re
lied upon by the prosecution to put
Anderson's neck rn a noose for the
murder of Logan. Embree told of a
confession Anderson made him, while
Maher and the woman gave informa
tion concerning Anderson's presence in
the vicinity of the murder and his con
duct. With those three out of the way,
Anderson's conviction would have been
a difficult matter.
That Anderson is desperate and willing
to resort to any means to avoid execu
tion in public, should. he be found guilty,
was shown clearly when the fellow's cell
was searched yesterday. Hilt had told
the officers that Anderson had a long
sharp slit of steel ljidtlen in- the hem of
his handkerchief with which to open an
artery in event of conviction.
The handkerchief was found in the cell,
and on being cldsely examined was found
to secrete the steel blade described by
Hilt. Anderson was at once placed in
solitary confinement, pending trial. With
Hilt's evidence, the authorities are con
fident of convicting and hanging the fel
low. TRIAIj BY JURY IS DEMANDED
George T. Myers' Daughter Files a
Petition In W'ill Case.
Georgia Frances Stevens, daughter of
the late George T. Myers, 'filed a peti
tion with the County Court yesterday,
asking that she be given a hearing before
a jury In her suit to break her father's
will. Mr. Myers left the daughter J20,0(X
and gave the balance of the estate,
amounting to nearly $250,000 to his son,
George T. Myers, Jr. That such a will
was really made by Mr. Myers is dis
puted by the daughter, who wants a jury
to decide -whether or not her father had
the testamentary capacity to make the
document probated.
Application for letters of administra
tion for the estate of Everett G. Starr
were asked for yesterday morning. The
petition Is entered by the widow, who
waives her right to act as administratrix
and asks for the appointment of C. D.
Starr, brother of the deceased. The Starr
estate Is valued at $0,500. of which 40,
000 is in personal property.
An order removing an excess of guar
dians from control of the affairs of Henry.
A. Smith and Susie A. Smith, minors, was
asked of the. court. Mother and half
brother of the children had been ap
pointed at different times and the peti
tion is filed by Mrs. Smith asking for the
removal ot both and the reappointment
of ' the half-brother, Preston W. Smith.
Tha conflict of " guardians was the result
of oversight.
DISCUSS NEW BOOKLET

the chamber's preparing a new advertis

Civil Service Leagqe was also read, and
In compliance with Its request, the Cham
ber passed a resolution indorsing the
plan of having the clerical force engaged

sidered the matter- of enough importance
to merit a special message to Congress.

prepared giving all the data regarding
bar pilotage, river pilotage, Columbia
River towage, tariff rates of discharging
and loading ships, and other Items of
Interest to shipowners whose vessels

ry. ', This situation has been adjusted

casion in the hands of a committee
composed of H. H. Northup, W. H.
Chapin and John Gill, Who have the
hearty support of both clubs.

LOS ANGELES. Feb. 4. Rudolph Un
holz had the 'better of Battling Nelson in
a 10-round go before fhe -Pacific Athletic
Club here tonight. Under the city ordi
nance no decision could be given, but
there was no doubt of the result. The
Boer had all the best of every round in
the matter of blows exchanged. ' He
punished Nelson considerably and had
him bleeding freely at the nose and
mouth, almost from the start. He
knocked the battler down in the first
round with a lightning left to the point
of the Jaw.
Unholz seemed , to be a puzzle to Nel
son. The latter was constantly on the
aggressive, but his efforts availed him
little. He led repeatedly, but Unholz,
fighting with his left shoulder held high
to protect his head and chin, escaped
punishment almost without exception.
ATHLETES REFUSED FRANCHISE
Multnomah Club Directors Decide
Adversely on Important Proposal.
At a meeting of the directors of
the ' Multnomah Amateur . Athletic
Club, last night. the proposal . to
admit athletic members on , the same
basis as regular members, was voted
down. It was also decided that athletic
members shall not be entitled to vote at
the election to be held next Tuesday,
when, for the first tinfe In 10 years, there
will be two tickets in the field.
The proposal to admit athletic mem
bers on the same plane with the regulars
was introduced by K. B. Morgan, who
also fathered the proposal to allow them
to vote at the coming election.
The directors of the club, deciding ad
versely on Morgan's proposals, held that
the matter was of too much importance
for themas a body to decide, and it was
decided to place the question before the
entire club membership next Tuesday
for a decision.
A communication was received from the
Seattle Athletic Club announcing that
that institution had decided to do away
with the professional coach system, and
that hereafter only bona fide members
of that club will be eligible for the foot
ball team. This Is in line with the policy
adopted by Multnomah two years ago.
Joseph Smith, once a star athlete of the
club, was voted an honorary membership
In the organization. Frank J. Lonergan
and Ed C. Johnson, were voted life mem
berships. .
