C, says Alex McLean, hero of a score of encounters In the high seas with gunboats looking for the evidences of piratical raids, and the man whom Jack London made famous aa the tough, lighting bundle of nerve and sinew, the "Sea Wolf," in the story of that title, is going to spend the Summer sitting on a dynamite mine. Running cargoes of gelignite and black powder from Prince Rupert up the Skeena River to Grand Trunk Pacific construction camps may not be exactly as exciting aa dodging shots from nlne-ioundera. but still there is some interest in guessing whether you will go up in sections or "en bloc." should an accident happen. On the turn of a coin McLean decided to lake the Job. ENDS HIS LIFE IN ASYLUM Insane Japanese Sent to Sanitarium Hangs Himself. J.

BIG CROWD HEARS FULTON SENATOR DEXOUNCBIS HEVEY IN EAST SIIE ADDRESS. Brings FYrth Letters and Affidavits to Cntroverti Charg-es of San Francisco Prosecutor. Senator Charles W. Fulton won his audience last night when he addressed a large gathering of voters In Savoy Hall, Burkhard Building, on East Burnslde street. His auditors applauded him frequently. The address was a sweeping denunciation of Francis J. Heney and Senator Fulton brought for ward letters and affidavits to support his statements that were presented to controvert the charges of Mr. Heney. "Heney is the arch hypocrite of the age," declared the speaker and the hall echoed with the longest applause of the meeting. "He Is a hyena mas querading In sheep's clothing," he con tinued, and again the audience howled Its approval. "Heney la a deliberate and malicious liar. He is one of those peculiar people who rush about the country like a dog with hydrophobia, snapping at everybody. "Heney made the bluff for a while that he would hire another hall last Tuesday night and tell more terrible things about me, but at the last minute he decided to take the train for San Francisco and slunk away. I have de nounced him from every platform where I have spoken in the campaign as a deliberate and malicious falsifier. He has not replied to these charges, although he haa had ample opportunity. He had my Salem speech in his pocket, for he had a stenographer there who took it in full. He knows full well that he is making" false statements and when their falsity is shown he cannot reply. , "Heney' s opposition to rhe dates from the time he was appointed to conduct the land-fraud prosecutions here. This was because he was ap pointed by the Attorney-General de spite my recommendation of an Ore gon man, for I believed an Oregon at torney should be named. I was very much surprised when I learned that Heney and his then partner, Mr. Frost, had been named. Particularly was I surprised at Mr. Frosts's ap pointment, who was but lately out of Jail, having been convicted of fraud in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. I addressed a letter of pro test to the Attorney-General and Frost was dropped. Mr. Heney, however, came here with his heart filled with bitterness against me." Senator Fulton told how he had been overwhelmed with work at Washing ton as the result of the indictments of Senator Mitchell and Congressman Hermann, and while working night and day for Oregon he was constanly as sailed bv Heney and his cabal. Even thus handicapped. Senator Fulton pointed with pride to the fact that he had secured for Oregon the larsjest appropriation for the improvement of rivera and harbors ever gained for the state.

An Insane Jealousy created by a mad love for the girl who would not marry him on hia demand was shown before the Coroner's Jury to day aa being the only motive which prompted John Grills, ared 21 years, to murder Miss Ora Roby. aged 22 yeara, and commit suicide near the girl's home late last night. The youthfulness of the victims of the tragedy and the fact that both are well known and connected with re spected families created a sensation locally. They had known each other only a few months but had talked of mar riage, to which the girl would not agree without the consent of her mo'.her. The lat'.er s few days ago said they must wait a longer time, but Grills persisted in his demands. Last night he met Miss Roby at the skating-rink dance, where she had gone with her brother. He bought her a box of candy and accompanied her home. They stopped to see the boy's mother and continued to the Roby residence. Struggle Had Taken Place. At a lonely spot on Sheridan street, where there were but few houses, the tragedy evidently occurred. A strug gle had taken place and the girl evi dently (led to save her life, when she was shot In the back and fell off a footbridge Into a gully below. Grille was found with a bullet through his heart on the bridge. Four shots and the screams of the girl were heard by neighbors. Grills' mother says he was fond of the girl and had worried over his love affair for several days. That he premeditated the murder and suicide Is evidenced by a letter found In his pocket and addressed to his mother. After stating that he had already threatened Miss Roby he wrote: . I could not live and see anybody else have her. I know T am crazy but I cannot help It. 1 never was any good and 1 would be worse In the future. Olva my love to all the girls and tell them why I done It. She promised me. then she tried to shak me but sha couldn't. It I can't have her nobody else will. Both Young People Well Known. Grills waa a machinist and molder employed, at the Nelson Iron Works and was widely known here. He at one time worked in a Portland factory and Is the son of Mrs. M. M. Murphy. Miss Roby was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel C. Roby, who came here about six months ago from Satem. At that city Miss Roby was employed In the Giles warehouse. She was a member of the Royal Neighbors and the Christian Church and was a winner In the Statesman newspaper contest about a year ago. she waa exceptionally pretty and, tragic as the incident was, there has been nothing brought tip detrimental to the charac ter of either Grills or the girl. The body of Miss Koby will be taken to Salem for burial. jj jjMjl i ! i ir .' Illit It!;! ii!! I ij'ii 111 ! I id; . Ii m A DENIAL 1 I I I 'HI FIRST H-HQUR-LAW SUIT GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT OF O. R. St N. UNDER ARREST. Together With Train Dispatcher, He Is Charged With Violation of Oregon Law. PENDLETON, Or., April 16. (Special.) Criminal informations, charging viola tions of the 14-hour law, against M. J. Buckley, general superintendent of the O. R, & N. Company, and the train dis patcher at The Dalles, were filed in the Circuit Court today by District Attorney Phelps. This action was taken at the in stance of the Railroad Commission, which reported that complaints had been made of violations of the law on the run 'be tween Umatilla and The Dalles. The railroad official will be compelled to plead to the charge before Circuit Judge Bean. The complaint alleges that a freight train crew was kept on the road for 17 hours without unavolda-ble cause for de lay. The case is one of several reported to the Commission. This suit is interesting, from the fact it Is the first ever brought under Oregon's 14-bour law, and it will probably be the last, since the Federal law making 16 hours the maximum run supersedes the state law. The latter is now in effect but the crime charged in today's com plaint was committed In October. Future violations will be prosecuted by the Fed eral authorities. District Attorney Phelps believes the railroad will come Into court and plead guilty. The penalty is a fine of tlOO to JS00 or Imprisonment in the county jail from six months to one year, or botii.
